The Witcher: Son of the Planes.

Although the wild boar slipped, it still relied on its strong inertia to slide towards Colin and the others, and soon hit the earth wall with a bang.

If it hadn't been reinforced with freezing magic, the impact would probably have collapsed the earth wall.

The wild boar's slip gave Colin and Edith enough time to cast spells. Edith prepared a freezing ray and fired it at the wild boar's brain.

Colin prepared a compound spell, a burning rock ball, which hit the wild boar's head slightly slower than the ice ray.

Maybe the wild boar really has thick skin and flesh, so the freezing ray did not penetrate the wild boar, but it made a big hole in the wild boar's head. Even if we take care of it, it probably won't live long.

Then Colin's spell hit the wild boar's head, which was a fatal blow to it.

Colin and the other man stopped casting spells and stepped forward to peel off the boar's tusks.

After cutting two slices of hindquarter meat, they stopped caring about it. After all, they were already out of the desert and should not be short of food, not to mention there was dried snake meat.

It was also convenient to get water by the stream. After a simple rinsing, Colin began to cook the wild boar meat. There were no other seasonings, only some salt, which Colin had prepared in advance.

Although the shredded pork tasted a bit coarse, Colin was still happy to be able to eat pork.

After eating and drinking, the two set out on their journey again.

In less than half a day, they were out of the canyon.

Outside the canyon is a plain. As far as the eye can see, there are no tall mountains or terrain, only some sparse trees and green plants scattered around.

Colin also felt relieved. In such an environment, it would be unlikely for others to ambush him.

The two continued to head towards the valley where Don Quixote and his companions were.

……

Two days later, Colin arrived at the outskirts of the valley and could already see quite a few participating apprentices.

Everyone's vigilant eyes on the road made Colin cautious.

When they were about to enter the valley, they found that someone had set up a checkpoint in front of them. There were a few participating apprentices scattered around, but no one got through.

"Well, what's going on?"

Colin and Edith came closer and asked the apprentices around them.

It turned out that a large amount of collectable resources were discovered in the valley. The first few forces that came here united and controlled the entrance to the valley.

It is a team competition, and the winner is determined by points. Points are gained based on how many resources are handed in at the end. The longer you can control, the more you can collect. Everyone understands this principle.

However, when there are not all the people on the periphery, no one trusts others, so they will not casually unite and rush in together.

This is also the reason why there were only five people at the checkpoint, but they were able to block the more than twenty people outside.

Colin contacted Don Quixote again. They had entered the valley a few days ago and were collecting resources inside.

When they knew Colin had arrived, they asked him to wait for a moment and they came out to pick him up.

After waiting for more than an hour, Colin saw Don Quixote, Kobe Bloodhoof, Marcus and others.

Colin took Edith to the checkpoint.

The five people at the checkpoint were about to take action when they heard Don Quixote say, "This is our teammate. He went to collect other resources a few days ago."

The five of them waved their hands and let Colin and Edith in.

The other apprentices on the periphery saw this and wanted to take the opportunity to rush in, but soon the five of them began to cast spells.

Not wanting to be the first to act, everyone had to retreat again.

It looks like we won’t be able to control the valley for much longer. Once there are more apprentices outside, they will definitely rush in.

"Boss, I finally found you. I have been worried about you these days." Kobe Bloodhoof said.

"Come on, I didn't see you come to the desert to find me." Colin replied.

"Hey, isn't this that someone?" Marcus saw that Edith and Colin were quite close, and winked at Colin.

"Ahem, this is Edith, um, my love," said Colin.

"what?"

Marcus opened his mouth and his eyes were full of surprise.

"You cow!"

Marcus came back to his senses and gave Colin a thumbs up.

After a while, Colin and his friends came to where Connie and the others were, and found that the others were picking a resource called red berries.

Connie was very happy to see Colin, but when she saw Edith next to Colin, her face quickly fell.

"You big pig's hoof, you can't trust men."

After a brief greeting with Colin, he continued to collect resources.

Colin was a little embarrassed when he saw Connie's reaction, but he and Edith were in a honeymoon period, so he didn't care too much.

But Edith noticed Connie's abnormality and whispered in Colin's ear: "Hey, is that your woman too?"

"Ahem, no, he's my good friend." Colin said, choking.

"Oh……"

Seeing Edith's half-smile and long "oh" sound, Colin said nothing more.

"Believe it or not, at least not now," Colin thought to himself.

Seeing the situation of Edith and Colin, Don Quixote didn't want to separate them deliberately, so he simply assigned a place and let the two of them go to collect with Kobe Bloodhoof.

……

A day later, more than thirty people had gathered at the checkpoint outside the valley, and their teammates were constantly coming.

The conflict at the entrance still occurred. When the number of people in one force reached three, they took the lead in launching the attack.

Seeing someone take the initiative to take the lead, the onlookers did not fight with them head-on. They cast a few spells and rushed inside.

The five people at the checkpoint gave up trying to stop them when they realized they could no longer control the situation.

After contacting their respective organizations, they also entered the valley. One more person meant more collection efficiency, so they no longer had time to guard the checkpoints.

……

Colin and his team collected resources in the valley for two days, but they could no longer collect because there were people everywhere and no one wanted to attack others unless there were special circumstances.

After discussing with Don Quixote and his companions, they decided to leave the valley and look for resources elsewhere.

Two hours later, several people left the valley.

Along the way, Colin looked at Connie several times, but Connie ignored him. Apart from necessary conversations, she didn't take the initiative to say anything to Colin.

Marcus was very outgoing and chatted a lot with Edith. After learning about her identity as a Northern witch, he was also surprised. There were not many people from that force traveling outside the mainland, so it was amazing that Colin could get her.

However, when I heard Edith say that she had four teammates, I was not surprised. Although I was curious why they didn't meet up, I didn't ask.

A few days later, Colin and others came to a grassland. In the distance, they could see various herbivores eating leisurely. There were also some carnivores lurking in the low grass, ready to attack the herbivores at any time.
