Chapter 973 Vitality Herbs Hunt
Chapter 973 Vitality Herbs Hunt
"We are a group of treasure seekers adventurers~" Ai sings happily when she and her friends go exploring the forest.
"Is this the right path?" Fortuna looked right and left. She still felt that flying was the best method to find the vitality herbs, but Rhea had a different opinion.
"Yes, this is the right path. I don't think those plants are lying to us. Also, Ely's body has a fragment of mother's aura. The plants here are afraid of that superior aura." After saying that, Rhea touched a tree trunk to communicate with the plant.
Even though this forest held innumerable dangers, no one dared to block their path as their group played high-profile without hiding their divine aura. The vicious plants and beasts became meek and obeyed the strong's wishes with no question.
"Yeah, we're not in a hurry either. We just need some vitality herbs and gather some life force. The rest, Nature Realm has everything." Ai shook Elysia's hand and walked in front, following the excited little dragons.
*Bam!*
Gio kicked a dead tree trunk blocking the path. He paved the way for his master, but a snake suddenly popped its head from the ground, ready to ambush.
"..." Gio just stared at it with intimidation, and the snake rushed to escape back into the ground as it realized who was the stronger one.
"Hmm." Gio just snorted and then used his earth detection ability. He tried to find the exact location of the one his master was looking for. That way, he could receive the praise he deserved.
The intense aura of vitality was ahead, so they were on the right path. They only had to walk straight.
"..." Cherub just followed his boss from behind in silence. It would be good if he could flap his four wings in the sky and carry the Goddesses on his back.
"It's been a while since we've adventured together, Ely. At that time, we explored star after star and planet after planet. It was so much fun!" Ai smiled in nostalgia.
"Yeah, it's been a while since then. If we're going to have interstellar adventures like that again, I'll need an advanced astronaut suit, I think." Elysia twirled a lock of her hair. She had to find a way how she could breathe in outer space without the help of magic.
"Hm, magic isn't always a solution, huh. In that case, we can do it with your spirit body or avatar. Make your avatar more potent and versatile." Ai patted her chin because it made sense. She got another reason for not having a real body and only needing to stick to Elysia as Elena did.
"We will get that spacecraft suit from Madam Tifa. Everything's good for the moon visit." Elena shrugged her shoulders.
"..." Fortuna glanced at Elena with a pout. She was currently sulking because of the recent matter.
She previously said that using a second name was such a hassle. Still, she also needed one to follow this world's custom for a divine being. Thus, she finally asked for a suggestion for her second name.
Unfortunately, Elena was the one Fortuna asked for an opinion. Therefore, Fortuna's second name was Tuna, which made Fortuna dissatisfied, but she didn't dare to complain to Elena.
"I should have asked for Ely's opinion. My future is bleak..." Fortuna muttered under her breath with a pitiful expression. She would live with that stupid fish name as her second name.
"We have arrived. The one in the cave is one of the mutated vitality herbs. The life force is strong, but we need to refine it before it is picked and processed." Rhea pointed at a small cave ahead.
"Rawr!" Gio pointed to an arm-sized plant growing on a boulder.
He has eradicated the traps and threats around it. Nothing could hinder his master from plucking it.
"Woah, this is so pretty. It might grant an eternal life." Ai was amazed by the beautiful sparkling black purplish flowers.
"Hey, this one is corrupted. Let's do something about it first. Gio, good boy. You cleared the path splendidly. Please take a safe distance as I will purify this." Elysia gives Gio a head pat.
"Rawr..." Gio took a few steps back happily. He knew his master was not partial and easy to give attention or praise as long as he did something good.
"Purify." Elysia stretched her hand to the dark flower and cast high-level purification magic. She removed the corruption and any other malicious energy around the vitality herb.
The flower's dark color changed to a gradient of golden and turquoise. The surrounding ground also changed color to a rich brown instead of jet black, purified by the holy light.
Elysia then uprooted the flower and a handful of the rock below to preserve the roots. She intended to show the vitality herbs to Lifa later if there was a method to grow and reproduce this kind of plant.
"Wow, this is prettier than the previous one. Corruption is bad for health. Poor flower. Anyway, can this vitality herb give someone eternal life?" Ai peeked over Elysia's shoulder and looked at the flower curiously.<.com>
"Of course not. Eternal life can be achieved if one can preserve their life energy to perfection. You have already reached the level of a divine being. As long as you are not seriously injured and stay around me, then you can reach eternity without doing anything." Elysia smiled gently and shook her head. She then stored the vitality herb in a special Space Bag.
"Oh~" Ai nodded in understanding. She then pressed her cheek against Elysia's. "But, you will always be my little sister."
"Hehe, alright..." Elysia glanced at Ai, then at Elena. Her two closest people vehemently refused if she had a mature body during her nearly five years of training in the time chamber.
She should have a fully grown, mature sexy body to compete with Elena or Ai. Still, they wanted to pamper her like an adorable little sister. And that was how she would be eternal in a sixteen-year-old girl's body.
However, she also could manipulate her body as Rhea could. That way, the fully grown Elysia would come when she wished. She would be very beautiful and tall, not inferior to Elena and Ai's alluring mature charm!
"Fufu, this continent has at least two top-tier vitality herbs. Let's pick one more and we can go to another forbidden territory. A treasure hunt without a competitor is so good." Elena was amused as she could tell what Elysia was thinking.
? She knew Elysia also had soft spot preferences for mature ladies, so that reason stimulated Luna and Lifa were competing to be Elysia's 'sugar mommy'.
*Fwoosh!*
Cherub transformed into a giant dragon and took everyone flying away to find another vitality herb's whereabouts.
"..." Several high-level beasts and plants around the cave appeared from their hiding places after the threats had gone from the vicinity.
The bear-like guardian beast that had guarded the vitality herb for tens of years could only stare at the sky with a lost expression. The divine beings and tyrannical ancient beasts visited to take his treasure. It would be suicidal if he chose to fight for his treasure.
After all, being alive was the best option. Who would dare to stop that adventurer group from hunting for treasure besides anyone who courted death?
"..." The guardian beast glanced at the surrounding ground. There wasn't anything there. Still, he knew several brave monsters were killed in silence by that little earth dragon just because they had malicious intentions.
"Phew." The guardian beast heaved a sigh as he chose to hide and let that group take his treasure without a fight.
The divine-class battle several days ago was so scary, and now another divine being has come here. The wise ones had to know what to do to survive.
"Nee, how are Zera and Number One?" Elysia felt a little worried and curious because she had left them for the last three days because of her training.
"All is good. They are getting along much better now. Here, let me return this to you. See what they did there." Elena smiled in amusement in reply. She took off her bracelet and put it on Elysia's wrist.
"Let's see..." Elysia checked into Zera's home realm. Number One had been released from the combined formation seal by Zera.
However, what she found left her somewhat shocked. Zera treated Number One as a maid, and the latter did the servant work with no complaints. It was as if Number One's previous arrogance and pride had crumbled to pieces by Zera.
"Oh, Master~ Long time no see! You've finally finished training. Did you miss me?" Zera could notice Elysia's divine sense entering her home realm.
"Mm, I just came out of the training realm. I'm still surprised to see Number One's change in attitude. Nothing has changed from her and we haven't done anything significant for her, have we? But, why is she being so obedient now?" Elysia felt a bit confused. Elena and the others also had no idea what Zera did to Number One, but everyone was aware of the result.
"Hehee, it's because I'm too good~ She might just lay low for a while until we get to the moon, or devise a backstab-like plan, but let's see how far she will go." Zera grinned and stroked Number One's back in a gentle motion.
"..." Number One trembled and bit her lower lips. She felt hopeless and had given up on things because of Zera's cruelty.
"Oh~" Elysia finally realized Zera's little plan for Number One. She collaborated with it and decided not to poke it for now. "Anyway, we're on a treasure hunt adventure. Would you like to join us?"
"Treasure hunt!? Please count me in, master." Zera was pleasantly surprised.
"Okay. You may join us." Elysia answered briefly, then retracted her divine sense out of Zera's bracelet realm.
"You better be of use to my master. You will meet your former master soon, but don't regret what awaits you even though I warned you many times." Zera lifted Number One's chin and stroked that bright lips with her thumb.
"Yes." Number One replied with a meek tone.
