"Are you a bloodhound?"
He quickly rushed to Eliza's side.
As expected, they saw several mushrooms growing by the roots of this big tree, all of them tender white.
Standing almost half a meter tall, their stems were roughly as thick as a thigh, and the caps were about thirty to forty centimeters wide.
They appeared extremely plump.
A unique fragrance wafted continuously from them.
For some reason, there were not many beasts in the Witch Forest.
Cao Xing speculated that it was due to the [Dark Aura].
Otherwise, just this aroma alone would attract a large number of beasts.
"Wow, such large mushrooms?" Cao Xing exclaimed.
Andrew was also taken aback, then said, "Generally, Jixiang Mushrooms are only about the size of a fist."
"I've never seen ones this big before."
"Their value is likely much higher than that of ordinary Jixiang Mushrooms."
Hearing this, anticipation flickered in Cao Xing's eyes.
He walked straight up to them, and in front of him appeared the attributes of these mushrooms.
[Giant Jixiang Mushroom: Magic Plants (Purple)]
[Jixiang Mushrooms emitting a rich fragrance, considered relatively rare ingredients]
[Effect ①: When dried and ground into powder, it can be made into Jixiang seasoning or mixed with other materials to produce advanced pet food.]
[Effect ②: First-time consumption increases Constitution by 15 points]
"An ingredient that can be made into seasoning?"
"Not only that, it can also be used to make advanced pet food and has the effect of boosting Constitution, quite nice!"
Cao Xing said with delight, "Take them, take them!"
So, he gathered all the mushrooms from the ground.
[Obtained: Giant Jixiang Mushroom (Purple) *4]
The four Jixiang Mushrooms together weighed over ten kilograms.
"Haha, it feels great to pick up money from the ground."
Clearly, Jixiang Mushrooms were a precious ingredient.
Just by looking at the functions listed in the item description, their value was apparent.
Moreover, he had his hands on the Giant Jixiang Mushrooms.
From the commissions issued by top chefs, hiring powerful hunters to search for [Jixiang Mushrooms], it was clear.
They could definitely fetch a high price!
However, due to the dangers of the Witch Forest,
the hunters didn't dare to venture into such a place to gather resources.
Hence, this forest hadn't been stepped into for nearly a hundred or two hundred years.
If this had been an ordinary forest, all its exotic fruits and Magic Plants would have long been stripped clean.
There wouldn't be any left for Cao Xing.
But now, with Cao Xing's formidable strength, he had ventured deep into such a remote area of the Witch Forest,
searching without any constraints within.
To Cao Xing, this was equivalent to a gigantic treasure vault.
As long as he patiently searched, he would eventually find some unexpected surprises!
"Let's go, keep moving forward."
Following Cao Xing's command, they changed direction and resumed their search.
They encountered a wave of Nightmare Cannibal Flowers.
Cao Xing glanced over, seeing over thirty of them.
Despite their levels being above 30, there were no Boss-level Cannibal Flowers among them.
"But, although there are no Boss-level Cannibal Flowers, two of the Elite Cannibal Flowers among them are quite valuable."
"Their poison stingers can be made into quite a few arrows."
Thinking this, Cao Xing issued another command, "Battle freely, finish quickly."
Upon hearing Cao Xing's command,
Blom, Assam, two Dragon Blood Warriors, and a Wild Boar Warrior, among other melee fighters, surged forward en masse.
"Pierce! Pierce pierce!"
Jonard and Jonsent's long spears repeatedly struck, punching holes in the petals of these Cannibal Flowers.
Simultaneously, high damage figures appeared.
And on the side, Rab, relying on his 30% Blood Sucking and formidable recovery abilities, jumped straight into the Cannibal Flower cluster.
"Beast God, grant me power!"
"Dual Blade Wheel Dance!"
Rab gripped his dual blades and started spinning rapidly among the Cannibal Flowers!
Sheets of damage numbers surfaced.
Among them were the Blood Sucking numbers.
At the moment, Rab was fighting alone against seven or eight Fourth Rank Cannibal Flowers, and even though his three layers of Holy Shield had been completely broken, his Blood Volume showed no sign of decreasing.
Each time a Cannibal Flower focused fire and reduced his Blood Volume, Rab would quickly regain most of it with a few slashes.
Then, [Ice Healing Skill] and [Life Blossom] would start to restore his Blood Volume, refilling it completely!
Rab exclaimed excitedly, "Haha, Rab is the undying Wild Boar Warrior!"
However, before he could celebrate for long,
an Elite Cannibal Flower suddenly extended a long tendril and wrapped it around Rab's arm.
At that moment, he felt a surge of Giant Power.
In a panic-stricken gaze, Rab was pulled over directly.
Then, the petals suddenly closed.
Seeing this, Blom slapped his bald head in surprise and said, "Oh no! The Wild Boar Warrior has been swallowed!"
Rab had overlooked the fact that the Cannibal Flowers had a [Nightmare Attack] skill.
Meanwhile, Isabell and a Nightmare Archer suddenly felt a sudden force at their waists.
The two of them flew forward!
And thus, this Holy Light Priest was swallowed by a Cannibal Flower on the spot.
Everyone present had a look of intense surprise in their eyes!
However, Cao Xing did not show much change in his expression.
Because with their robust recovery abilities, even if swallowed by a Cannibal Flower, they wouldn't be in much danger in the short term.
