Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today

Due to the sudden addition of Nergigante, several people had to hunt a few more mushroom pigs for processing, and then they could barely satisfy its appetite.

After eating and drinking, Nergigante lay down comfortably on the ground and began to take a nap. Bai Feng and Reya's Pterosaur also stopped on the branches to rest, and a few people also sat there and started chatting.

At this time, Re Ya once again showed her professional side as an editor and introduced them to the ecological conditions of the ancient tree area where they were located.

The reason why this area is named the Ancient Tree Area is because there is a huge towering tree in the center of the area, which is the tree under Fujimaru Ritsuka's feet when he first transferred to this world.

Since such a tree does not exist in the Old World, based on its huge size, researchers from the first group speculated that it might be a huge tree that has existed since ancient times, so they named it an ancient tree. This forest area is also called the ancient tree area.

After introducing the origin of the ancient tree area, Reya raised his head and looked into the distance, and the huge ancient tree clearly appeared in his sight.

Then, she smiled again:

"However, with in-depth research by scholars, new discoveries have been made about this ancient tree."

"In the past, we have always thought that ancient trees were a special single species of plant, but today's surveys and research have shown that this is not the case. In fact, ancient trees are formed by many plants gathering, entangled, and growing together for some special reasons. The compound tree."

"Compound tree?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka blinked in surprise. She didn't remember such a thing when she was playing the game. It may be that she ignored other plots outside the main plot.

In reality, this was the first time she had heard and seen such a strange thing.

She couldn't help but look at the towering tree in the distance. It was hard to imagine that such a big tree that could support a complete ecosystem on its own was not a special species, but made up of countless ordinary plants.

"But, how is this done?"

"We still don't know the specific reasons."

Reya shook her head, then smiled:

"Scholars have only confirmed the existence of this phenomenon through experiments. The big tree you just saw at the stronghold is the reproduction of the ancient tree by scholars."

"...Ah, that tree?"

After thinking about it for a while, Fujimaru Ritsuka noticed that there was indeed a big tree in the stronghold, but compared to the huge ancient tree, the tree looked like a normal big tree, so she didn't Care too much.

But I didn't expect that it turned out to be a reproduction of the ancient tree.

Reya continued:

"In addition, although the specific reason is still unknown, the current speculation is that it may be related to the energy of the ancient dragon."

"It just so happened that we got a lot of dropped items from Laoshan Dragon this time during the battle. Scholars should be using those materials to actively verify this conjecture."

"Eh--"

Fujimaru Ritsuka listened with great interest and learned about the features of different worlds. This is probably one of the joys of [Transfer].

After resting, Bai Feng and Re Ya prepared to return to the stronghold.

If we have to carry out an investigation mission next, we can't act directly like we are now, we must be fully prepared.

But at this time, Fujimaru Ritsuka told them that he was not going to go back with them.

Reya suddenly asked in surprise:

"Hey, why?"

Bai Feng on the side looked at the Nergigante not far away, with a thoughtful expression on his face, as if he had already guessed something.

Sure enough, Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled helplessly and said:

"After all, the existence of Bie Miezi is still too dangerous for most people, and I can't actually guarantee that it won't hurt people. Therefore, I think it is better to keep it at a distance from the stronghold for now. "

"That's right, that's what you said..."

Reya reacted belatedly after hearing the words.

Although the Nergigante has been fine with them so far, the other party is a powerful ancient dragon after all. If it suddenly becomes violent in the stronghold, the consequences will be disastrous.

However, Reya felt a little sorry for leaving Fujimaru Ritsuka and Melyuzina in the wild, so she was a little entangled.

Seeing the expression on Reya's face, Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and said:

"It's okay. Don't forget that I carry a lot of things with me. I can live well even in the wild."

"Moreover, I plan to go to the Leyline Corridor to investigate first, and we will meet there then."

After hearing her start talking about business, Re Ya's attention was diverted and she asked curiously:

"Leyline Corridor? Why start there?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and replied:

"Because that's what the Lava Mountain Dragon chose. I thought that maybe we could find something along the direction it originally wanted to go."

"!"

Bai Feng nodded suddenly, thinking what she said made sense.

And speaking of it, the location of the Earth Corridor is right at the junction of the known area they have explored so far and the Dragon Crystal Land mentioned by Fujimaru Ritsuka. Maybe they can find the way to the Dragon Crystal Land through there.

"indeed!"

Re Ya's strong curiosity and desire to explore also surged up, and she suddenly said with great enthusiasm:

"Then let's start our investigation from the Leyline Corridor!"

After having a concrete goal, Re Ya lost all sentimentality and wished to set off on the spot, eagerly pulling Bai Feng to fly back on the Pterosaur.

The trees blocked the departing figures of Shirayu and Reya. Seeing the two leaving, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Melyuzina looked at each other, and then looked at the Nergigante lying on the ground taking a nap.

"Baa Baa Zi, Baa Baa Zi, get up!"

"……Roar!"

At Fujimaru Ritsuka's call, the Nergigante reluctantly opened its eyes, and then roared dissatisfied and a little angry.

After finally waking up, Nergigante tilted his head slightly, as if asking her what she wanted to do.

"We are going to the Earth Corridor next, which is where the Molten Dragon was before."

Even though she said this, it was obvious that the Nergigante didn't understand what she said, so she could only talk and gesture, barely letting the Nergigante understand that it should follow them.

"Master, we are about to set off."

"OK, all right."

Then, she was held in Meluzina's arms again and flew towards the Earth Corridor.

But in Meluzina's arms, she was thinking about communicating with the Nergigante. Although it was not impossible to communicate, it just took a lot of effort, but such inefficient communication was not feasible.

Although the languages ​​are not mutually accessible, it would be great if there was some way to directly let them understand each other's meaning.

She hoped so in her heart.

Unlike the time it took to sail by boat, at sunset, they successfully arrived at the location where the hunters originally fought against the Lava Dragon.

Since it was getting late, they did not immediately launch an investigation, but instead built a simple camp to stay.

The Nergigante lay directly in the depths of the cave not far from them. After a while, his big nostrils started to have bubbles again. The quality of his sleep was excellent, and he didn't pick any places at all.

Fujimaru Ritsuka also fell asleep quickly after finishing washing, and tonight, not surprisingly, she dreamed of the same content again.
