Pirate: Nami! Give me back my Berry!

Chapter 279: Continuing Deep into the Forest

Soon Dessa finished decomposing the giant beast. She used her ability to break it into many small pieces.

Nami was responsible for putting the already cut up meat into the different space so that Anya could cook it tonight.

"Nami, do you want to draw a nautical map of this island first?" Robin looked at Nami and asked.

Nami shook her head and said, “No, there are too many trees here and I can’t see the terrain of the island clearly.

If we start drawing now, many mistakes will probably occur.

Moreover, if we cut down too many trees to get a better view, it will also be detrimental to the environment.

So, let’s first walk to the largest red leaf tree in the center of the island.

That should be the highest point of the archipelago, where you can see the whole island." After saying that, Nami glanced at the big tree in the center of the island, with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

Others nodded in agreement.

Only by reaching the highest point can you see the terrain and environment of the entire island clearly, so that you can draw a more accurate nautical chart of the island.

"Then let's keep going." Ling Yan gave the order, and everyone set out on the journey again, heading towards the largest red leaf tree in the center of the island.

----

As everyone gradually went deeper into the center of the island, they found that the red-leaf trees here were growing bigger and bigger. Each tree was towering into the clouds, standing like giants.

These red-leaf trees are connected to each other and arranged closely together, forming a scene that blocks out the sky.

It was already past ten in the morning, but due to the shade of the red-leaf trees, the light on the island was very dim.

Only through some tiny gaps between the red leaves can the sun barely squeeze in a ray of weak sunlight and project it onto the ground.

This makes the entire island shrouded in a mysterious and quiet atmosphere, and the ground also exudes a smell of decay, which makes people feel awe.

"Everyone, put on the masks we prepared in advance. The gas here is already somewhat toxic!" Dessa sniffed the smell in the air and said solemnly.

Everyone immediately followed Dr. Dessa's instructions and took out the masks that Dessa had prepared last night and put them on without hesitation.

The moment he put on the specially made mask, Ling Yan was surprised to find that the air, which was originally filled with pungent smells, suddenly became fresh, as if he was in a pure forest.

This wonderful change made him exclaim: "Daisy, how did you make this mask? It's amazing!"

He looked at Desha with surprise.

"I can't tell you that~~~Hehehe~" Dessa smiled mysteriously and didn't answer.

She knew very well that if she told the truth about how to make masks, people might resist this magical equipment.

In fact, these masks are made of a material called "rotten leaf spider silk".

This spider silk has strong filtering and adsorption capabilities and can effectively purify harmful substances in the air.

However, since leaf spiders live in piles of rotten leaves, they themselves have an unpleasant stench, but spider silk does not have this smell, but is instead extremely fresh.

That's why Desha chose to keep it secret.

After everyone put on masks, they continued on their way.

The rotten fallen leaves and dead branches under my feet made a crunching sound, as if telling the ancient history of this forest.

~~~~~~

"Huh? The butterfly is so beautiful. According to what Desha said, is it also poisonous?" As she walked, Leah stopped and looked at a colorful little butterfly beside the weeds.

After hearing what Leah said, everyone looked at the beautiful butterfly in front of her.

"This is a hallucinogenic butterfly. If people inhale the powder on its wings, they will fall into hallucinations~" Dessa explained softly.

"Ah?" Leah moved away from the beautiful butterfly, with a frightened look on her face. "I was so close to her just now, am I hallucinating?"

"Don't worry, Leah, you are wearing my special mask~" Dessa said confidently.

"Then I feel relieved, otherwise I would have been embarrassed~~~" Leah patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

“Although there are no large beasts in the depths of this forest, there are many poisonous insects here. Everyone should not let their guard down.” Ling Yan reminded everyone.

"Ling Yan is right. Although I am confident that I can detoxify you, it is best not to get poisoned if possible." Desha said softly.

Everyone nodded, and then everyone became much more cautious.

~~~~~~

Finally, as the sun gradually set, the dream group arrived at a mysterious valley filled with clouds and mist, and rugged rocks, as if they had entered another world.

"It's so beautiful here. By the way, Dessa, can we take off our masks?" Anya said happily as she looked at the beautiful scenery in front of her.

Daisha did not answer immediately. She took off her mask and sniffed the air. After a few seconds, she spoke, "The trees here are not so dense, and there is sunlight during the day, so the air here is not poisonous. You can take off the mask."

Hearing this, everyone's face showed joy.

Everyone wore a mask along the way. Although the air we breathed was fresh, we always felt a little stuffy.

Now that I have taken off the mask, I feel a sense of relief.

"It's really more comfortable without wearing a mask. I was really suffocating along the way." Nami just took off the mask, exhaled long, and then took another deep breath.

Others were very happy too.

"The environment here... feels a little different. Some places still retain traces of human habitation." After Robin looked around carefully, he immediately determined that this might be a relic where humans had lived at some point in time.

"So, there might be treasure here?" Nami's eyes sparkled after hearing Robin's words.

Others also looked eager to try.

"Hehe~ Maybe that's the case~~~" Robin chuckled.

"What are we waiting for? Let's go treasure hunting!" Dessa and Nami immediately ran around.

Others followed closely behind. Everyone was very excited, exploring this mysterious place with heartbeats, searching for the legendary treasure.

"Hey!"

"Anya, it's getting dark. Didn't you say you would cook delicious food for us tonight?" Ling Yan was a little confused and suddenly he was left alone.

"Food is not as important as treasure hunting..." Anya said without turning her head.

"That's right, treasure hunting is important!" Nami echoed.

Seeing how excited everyone was, Ling Yan felt like trying it himself, but after looking at the surroundings, he gave up.

It was already evening, and he had to clean up the surroundings before setting up camp for the night.
