Jungle Treant

The trade was completed quickly.

Ding! You obtained Might Herb ×1

Nan Feng did not hesitate. He stuffed the Might Herb into his mouth and swallowed it.

Ding! Successfully consumed Might Herb. Your strength +2!

You have developed a resistance to Might Herb. Continued consumption will no longer increase your attributes.

"What a shame this stuff builds resistance... Otherwise, I'd eat it every day and become a god." Nan Feng indulged in a wildly unrealistic fantasy.

You Ran: "Big brother, can your mana potions be a little cheaper? Fifty units of materials is too expensive."

Nan Feng glanced at the Trade Channel and found that of the ten portions of Clean Fresh Water he had listed that afternoon, only five had sold.

Shen Pan had bought one, Wu Yuansheng had bought one, and You Ran had bought three.

"Damn, this girl's a huge mana spender."

Those mana-restoring potions were so expensive, yet You Ran had bought three in one afternoon. That was the equivalent of 150 units of materials.

She was definitely a little rich girl!

Seeing that Nan Feng had not replied, You Ran sent several more messages.

You Ran: "At this stage, most Chosen Ones don't consume much mana. Your mana potions will be hard to sell."

You Ran: "Rather than letting them gather dust, why not make them cheaper and sell them all to me in a bundle~?"

Nan Feng: "Call me big brother."

You Ran: "Big brother~"

Nan Feng: "Five mana potions for two Vigor Herbs."

You Ran seemed somewhat surprised, unable to understand how Nan Feng knew she had Vigor Herbs.

After a long silence, You Ran finally replied, "Fine."

Nan Feng decisively took down five portions of Clean Fresh Water, then completed the trade with You Ran.

Two Vigor Herbs were now in his possession.

Vigor Herb: After consumption, increases a Chosen One's stamina by 2. (Note: Each Chosen One can consume a maximum of two. Any more will have no effect.)

After the trade, You Ran asked curiously, "How did you know I had Vigor Herbs?"

Nan Feng chuckled. "I installed surveillance cameras in your Wooden Cabin."

You Ran: "Really? Want me to perform a striptease for you?"

"..." Nan Feng said, "No need for that, but once we meet in person, you can perform it for me."

You Ran: "Ptooey, disgusting."

Chatting with a cute girl could really lift one's spirits.

Nan Feng happily ended his conversation with You Ran and continued replying to messages from the other Chosen Ones.

Five minutes later, Nan Feng sold another two portions of honey, receiving one Flame Fruit and forty units of materials in return.

The Dart Bee Queen had dropped five portions of honey in total. Nan Feng had sold four and kept one for himself.

The food Nan Feng had listed on the Trade Channel had also mostly been traded away.

Nan Feng checked his backpack:

Wood ×396, stone ×414, Hallucinogenic Fang ×3, honey ×1, Vigor Herb ×2, Flame Fruit ×1, assorted beast meat...

His wood and stone combined totaled 810 units. Nan Feng could now be considered a filthy rich player.

"Upgrading the Wooden Cabin requires wood ×300, stone ×200, iron ×20. Upgrading the Destined Divine Weapon requires wood ×50, stone ×100, iron ×10..."

"My wood and stone are enough for now, but I have no clue where to get iron."

"I'll think of something tomorrow."

Nan Feng closed his status panel. The roasted meat before him was sizzling with grease and giving off an irresistible aroma.

Time to eat!

Nan Feng dug in with huge mouthfuls. He also mixed the last portion of honey with water and drank it, gaining 2 energy.

After finishing the roasted meat, Nan Feng took out the Flame Fruit he had just traded for and ate it with satisfaction.

"Dessert after dinner too. Nice."

Flame Fruit could increase fire resistance by 5%, which was temporarily useless to Nan Feng.

But it would surely come in handy someday.

After eating and drinking his fill, Nan Feng chatted nonsense with the online crowd in the Chat Channel for a while. He then bought 1,000 ml of fresh water through the Trading System and placed it in the Fine Water Purifier for purification before starting to plan for tomorrow.

"Tomorrow will be the third day since we arrived here. There are only 613 people left in my region. Three hundred and eighty-seven have already died."

"Only a few dozen people died today. Looks like everyone's become much more cautious."

Nan Feng took out his Wooden Dagger and began scribbling on the ground.

"I need to keep a close eye on the top ten Chosen Ones on the level rankings, especially that girl You Ran."

You Ran's demand for mana potions was enormous, which meant she had to be leaving her Wooden Cabin and traveling far away to hunt beasts.

And that place definitely produced plenty of herbs.

The fact that You Ran could so easily trade away so many attribute-boosting herbs meant she had already eaten enough to develop resistance herself.

"Might Herb increases strength, and Vigor Herb increases stamina. I wonder if there are any herbs that increase agility?"

"Hmm... I'll ask her tomorrow."

"Besides You Ran, Xiao Luo, who's first on the level rankings, is also worth watching closely. That big shot can make food that restores health, and that's something that can save lives. I should find a chance to get on his good side and make a backdoor deal."

"Oh, right. Wu Yuansheng met up with an online friend today. I wonder how that went? I barely paid attention..."

"And Shen Pan too. I wonder if that essay he wrote was true? If he could fight a level 5 beast evenly, he should be pretty strong..."

"Yeah, tomorrow's main task is finding iron. I can't stay stuck here forever."

After sorting through his thoughts, Nan Feng had arranged his plans for tomorrow.

Outside, the roars of beasts rang out again, ceaseless and unbroken.

"It's starting again."

Nan Feng looked outside through the window.

Dark shadows occasionally darted through the pitch-black forest, and the terrifying aura of the beasts made it hard for Nan Feng to breathe.

Nights in the Primordial World were far too terrifying.

Nan Feng shut the window and fell into a deep sleep amid the howls of beasts.

Early the next morning, Nan Feng got up, ate a little, and set out once again.

Before leaving, he listed five portions of the Clean Fresh Water purified the night before on the Trading System and carried another five portions with him.

Nan Feng had already explored the area around the Wooden Cabin yesterday. Today, he would definitely be heading farther away, so carrying some mana potions gave him peace of mind.

"I'll check out the place where I found that beehive yesterday first. I wonder if those beasts respawn?"

Nan Feng eagerly arrived at the place where he had farmed monsters yesterday.

The place was completely empty. Even the corpses of the Dart Bees that had died yesterday were gone.

"Looks like wild monsters don't respawn. What a shame."

Nan Feng shook his head and continued exploring in that direction.

As he ventured farther and farther, Nan Feng hunted five or six level 1 and level 2 beasts along the way, gradually reaching the depths of the jungle.

Suddenly, Nan Feng felt the urge to pee.

With no one around, Nan Feng found a relatively safe spot with a clear view and began relieving himself.

As he peed, Nan Feng noticed that the atmosphere here felt a little off.

The trees around him were enormous, each one thick enough that it would take two people to wrap their arms around it. Their branches and leaves were lush, blotting out the sky and nearly all sunlight.

But that was not the important part. The important part was that Nan Feng spotted many beast skeletons nearby.

"There's a very powerful beast nearby. This is its territory."

Nan Feng immediately made his judgment. He gave himself a quick shake, pulled up his pants, and ran.

Just as Nan Feng was about to escape this area, vines hidden beneath the fallen leaves suddenly tightened, trying to entangle him!

"A treant?"

Nan Feng was startled. He hurriedly leaped high into the air, dodging the strangling attack of several vines.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Nan Feng fired wildly in all directions, Mana Bullets flying from the chamber.

About forty or fifty meters away from Nan Feng, a faint red -1 floated up from a massive tree. He had hit it!

Eye of Insight!

From so far away, Nan Feng tried activating Eye of Insight—and to his surprise, it worked!
