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 had not been reinforced with freezing magic, it is estimated that this collision would have collapsed the earth wall.

The 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 composite spell, a burning rock ball, which hit the wild boar's head a little slower than the freezing ray.

Maybe the wild boar is really thick-skinned, and the freezing ray did not penetrate the wild boar, but it made a big hole in the wild boar's head. Even if it is left alone, it is estimated that it will not live long.

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

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

After cutting two pieces of hindquarters, they stopped caring. After all, they had already left the desert, so they should not be short of food, not to mention dried snake meat.

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

Although the meat felt a little coarse, Colin was still very happy to eat pork.

After eating and drinking, the two set off again.

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

Outside the canyon was a plain. There were no tall mountains and rivers in sight. There were some sparse trees and green plants around.

Colin was relieved. In such an environment, it was unlikely that others would ambush.

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

...

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

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

When they were about to enter the valley, someone actually set up a checkpoint in front of them. There were some participating apprentices around them, but no one went 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 collectible resources were found in the valley, and the first few forces that came here united to control the entrance of the valley.

It was originally a team competition, and the final victory was based on points. The points were obtained depending on the amount of resources handed in at the end. The more days of control, the more days of collection. Everyone understands this principle.

However, in the case of incomplete peripheral people, no one trusts others, and they will not randomly unite and rush in together.

This is also the reason why there are only five people at the checkpoint, blocking the more than 20 people outside.

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

After knowing that Colin had arrived, they asked him to wait for a while and they came out to pick him up.

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

Colin led Edith to the checkpoint.

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

The five people waved their hands and let Colin and Edith go in.

The other apprentices on the periphery saw it and wanted to rush in, but soon the five people began to cast spells.

The people who didn't want to be the first to come had to retreat again.

It looked like the valley couldn't be controlled for long. When there were more apprentices outside, they would definitely rush in.

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

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

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

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

"Ah?"

Marcus opened his mouth wide, his eyes full of surprise.

"You're awesome!"

Marcus, who came back to his senses, 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 also very happy to see Colin, but when she saw Edith next to Colin, her face quickly fell.

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

After a simple greeting with Colin, she continued to collect resources.

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

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

"Ahem, no, she's my good friend." Colin choked and said.

"Oh..."

Seeing Edith's half-smiley eyes and the long "oh", Colin didn't say anything else.

"Whether you believe it or not, at least not now." Colin thought.

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

...

One day later, more than 30 people were already gathered at the checkpoint outside the valley, and their teammates were constantly coming.

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

Seeing someone take the initiative to lead, the crowd did not fight with them, but cast a few spells and rushed in.

The five people at the checkpoint gave up blocking them when they saw that they could not control it.

After contacting their respective organizations, they also entered the valley. One more person means more collection efficiency, so they could not take care of guarding the checkpoint.

…

After two days of collecting resources in the valley, Colin and his team could not collect any more. There were people everywhere. Unless there was a special situation, no one wanted to attack others at this stage.

After discussing with Don Quixote and others, they prepared to leave the valley and look for resources elsewhere.

Two hours later, they left the valley.

Along the way, Colin looked at Connie several times, but Connie ignored him. Except for necessary conversations, she did not take the initiative to say anything to Colin.

Marcus was very familiar with Edith and talked a lot with her. After learning about her identity as a northern witch, he was also surprised. Not many of that group traveled outside the continent, and Colin was able to get her. He was also impressed.

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

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