Chapter 1005 Abnormal Plant Growth


Western Jungle was a place thriving in vegetation.


It was unknown where the jungle drew its abundant lifeforce from, allowing its plants to grow prosperously and generously, but one thing was certain; it was abnormal.


The grass was as high as Leon's knees, and the bushes and shrubs were even higher, not to mention the trees.


Although the trees weren't at the same level as an Elder Tree, their towering presence cannot be denied.


And when there was an entire jungle of tall trees, it was pretty imposing and intimidating to the adventurers and explorers who dared to venture within its territory.


If Leon did not have divine sense, a high level of defense, and Paragon-level poison immunity, even he would have to tread carefully for the sake of safety.


Given the environment, they could be attacked from any and all directions.


It was the perfect hunting ground for stealthy creatures.


But unfortunately for them, none of their stealth would work on Leon; his divine sense detects everything within its range.


As Leon walked through tall grass and thick bushes, a venomous snake suddenly thrust itself at Leon's neck from one of the dangling vines.


However, Leon had already foreseen its presence and anticipated its attack.


But before Leon could even make a move, Rainshine's eyes flickered with sharpness before she swiped at the venomous snake with her claws in a silvery-white flash.


Puchi!


The venomous snake was sliced into more than a dozen pieces before it dropped into the veil of grass and gushed with blood.


No further movement was felt from the snake; it was deader than dead.


Leon didn't bother with the snake carcass and left it as is, continuing their journey into the depths of the western jungle.


Nevertheless, Leon only traveled a few dozen yards before encountering another attack.


However, the attack came from a different creature; it was a green frog the size of a full-grown watermelon.


It was hungry and definitely not friendly.


But like the first time, Rainshine quickly intercepted and sliced the green frog into numerous pieces with her sharp claws before returning to her spot on Leon's shoulders.


"Master, since your objective was to subjugate the western tribes, where are we heading this way? I believe there was a human settlement not far from the jungle outskirts," Rainshine mentioned.


"Even if there was one, acquiring their allegiance peacefully with just words alone wouldn't work," Leon casually replied.


"Look at how thriving this place is. They wouldn't lack any water and food in this place. Thus, the southern tribe's advantage in these aspects wouldn't appeal to the western tribes. Alternatively, I could reveal my strength to make them submit. But if they are stubborn, they will definitely fight back."


"As such, looking for the Golden Suanni Clan will be a more fruitful endeavor. The western tribes' resistance won't be as strong once they lose their backer. Nevertheless, that isn't the most important point."


"The most important point is I am much more interested in the Golden Suanni Clan than the western tribes," Leon stated.


"I see…" Rainshine uttered.


As they traveled deeper into the jungle, Leon started to think that he should have brought Faelyn along.


The western jungle was a suitable place for deepening one's comprehension of the Wood Law.


There was definitely something special about the western jungle.


Leon wouldn't have been surprised if he had found a place like the western jungle in the Wildlands back on the Desolate Beast Continent.


However, the western jungle was situated on the Dark Abyss Continent, a dark place devoid of direct sunlight. As such, the plants relied on a different energy source to thrive.


Furthermore, the western jungle lacked spirit energy despite its plethora of overgrown plants.


"There's definitely something special in the heart of this jungle…" Leon uttered along the way. He had a guess on what the plant's special energy source could be.


Suddenly, Leon spotted a rare spirit herb with his divine sense before making a beeline toward it.


As Leon approached the location, the trees became increasingly sparse in the area. The thick bushes also cleared, and the sound of water became evident.


It was a river.


The rare spirit herb was none other than the few stalks of grasses growing along the riversides. But unlike other green grasses, they had tints of blue and silver.


Bluesilver Grass was their name, and they were actually quite common in the Divine Realm.


However, Leon had never seen such tall stalks of Bluesilver Grass. As such, they were mutated variants of the normal Bluesilver Grass.


When it comes to variant spirit herbs, they usually have much stronger properties, or they may even have entirely new properties.


Whatever the case may be, it doesn't hurt to collect them.


Bluesilver Grass was a supplementary ingredient in many pill recipes. Thus, Leon didn't have to worry about not finding a use for the Bluesilver grass.


However, the true value of variant spirit herbs lies in exploring and innovating new pills in the art of alchemy.


After harvesting all the stalks of Bluesilver Grass in the area, Leon planted them all in the Worldspace.


With the blessing of the Sacred Garden, the potency of the Bluesilver Grass would definitely increase.


Leon continued to follow the river and pocket every mutated variant of the Bluesilver Grass he could find along the way.


Collecting spirit herbs became a side objective as he searched for the Golden Suanni Clan.


Puchi!


Another creature was felled by Rainshine's claws as she cleared the hostile beasts from the area. This time, it was a hyena.


However, the hyena was not alone, and their strength varied from Low Rank 1 Transcendent to High Rank 1 Transcendent.


"Master, there's a lot more beasts in this area, and their numbers are growing. I think we are attracting them here," Rainshine mentioned.


"With all that blood, it's only natural that they are attracted," Leon casually said while plucking another stalk of Bluesilver Grass. "If they attack, continue to kill them all."


"Yes, Master," Rainshine complied.


Searching blindly for the Golden Suanni Clan was a waste of time. Leon thought it was better if they attracted the kings of the jungle to them instead.
