Chapter 193: Faery Footbrace
Chapter 193: Faery Footbrace
"Wait for me, I'll go and drag the loot inside."
Lindsey gave a simple instruction and then activated the Mountain Crest Emblem, slipping into the underground area shrouded by poison fog. He dragged the Fairy Maiden's corpse out.
He returned to Red's side.
Casually tossing the enemy's body to the ground, he began to search the corpse for loot.
Lindsey didn't find any antidote potions.
However, when he collected materials from the Fairy Maiden's body, he obtained something that caught his attention.
[Material: Fairy Flower]
[A flower bud carried by the Flower Spirit; can also be used as a material to craft other items.]
[A flower bud carrying the essence of a fairy, of lower value.]
"A Flower Fairy..."
Lindsey immediately realized.
This creature was likely sent to the Starlight Forest as a messenger due to its racial affinity.
He placed the material on the workbench.
[1 Fairy Flower + 3 Different Types of Wood + 7 Different Types of Flowers = Faery Footbrace]
"As expected, items from the same series can be crafted from similar targets."
Lindsey sighed, his gaze sweeping over the surroundings.
The forest floor was covered in flowers, providing ready-made materials. He crafted the footbrace without delay.
[Accessory/Material: Faery Footbrace]
[Increases Agility when equipped; can dispel poisons within a certain range every 24 hours; can also be used as a material to craft other items.]
[A bracelet with some detoxifying properties, of lower value.]
"Your foot."
Lindsey turned to Red.
The girl looked bewildered, not even comprehending Lindsey's words: "What did you say?"
"I said to bring your foot over here."
Lindsey had no time for romantic sentiments.
He pulled Red's left foot towards him, removed her shoe, revealing a foot as white as jade...
After days and nights of traveling through the wilderness and engaging in battles, the smell was overwhelming.
"Ugh—"
Lindsey pinched his nose and directly put the Faery Footbrace on Red's foot.
"Lindsey, what are you doing?"
"This thing can detoxify, use it quickly."
"..."
"Oh."
Red's voice went from excited to disappointed. She tried to infuse the Faery Footbrace with Essence, and indeed, a surge of power emerged, thoroughly cleansing the poison from her body.
"Is this my reward for saving you? Lindsey, you..."
Red was about to say something.
But the next moment, Lindsey removed the footbrace from her ankle and casually placed it in his inventory.
Red looked confused:
"Wasn't this a gift for me?"
"I still need it!" Lindsey took out the Frostwind Earring and handed it to Red, "As a token of thanks for your help, I'm giving this to you."
Red took the Frostwind Earring, put on her shoes with dissatisfaction, and her tone matched her actions:
"Lindsey, do I have to pierce my ears to wear this thing?"
Red looked disgusted:
"Who would do that, harming their own body?"
Lindsey widened his eyes:
"Are you still worried about that?"
The two, surprisingly aligned in their views, stared at each other, then silently turned their gazes southward.
After a few seconds, the Mother Tree drew closer to their position.
This meant that they were about to face the biggest threat of the night!
Red raised an eyebrow:
"Lindsey, it seems we can't run anymore."
"Don't worry." Lindsey replied calmly, "Didn't you say this Mother Tree was summoned? She should have something... like this!"
Lindsey searched the Fairy Maiden's body and soon found a peculiar wooden branch.
The upper half was withered, while the lower half blossomed with vibrant green, symbolizing life.
The end of the branch had obvious fracture marks, clearly forcibly severed by someone with brute force.
Others may not be able to discern the purpose of this item.
But Lindsey activated the product information and immediately learned of the vine's function.
【Oddity: Banyan Core Branch】
【A core branch severed from the Banyan Mother Tree, allowing the holder to control the actions of a Sixth-Phase being to some extent. Destroying it will inflict severe and difficult-to-repair injuries on the Banyan Mother Tree!】
【An oddity that controls a Sixth-Phase being, extremely valuable; but it also attracts resentment, as the controlled being may seek revenge. Exercise caution, as the value is somewhat diminished.】
Red watched Lindsey's actions, her tone filled with curiosity:
"What is this?"
A smile appeared on Lindsey's face:
"This is our hope to win tonight's battle!"
"Red, adjust your condition well in the final minutes. The decisive battle is about to begin!"
Lindsey took out a medicinal ointment and handed it to Red.
Red realized what she needed to do, sat cross-legged on the ground, and started treating the wound on her arm. She even had the leisure to joke with Lindsey:
"I thought the decisive battle was already over?"
Lindsey rolled her eyes at this guy:
"Focus on treating your wound. Save your energy for the battle ahead and stop with the jokes!"
Red nodded slightly, and the ointment Lindsey gave her worked wonders.
Not only did it make strange sounds when applied, but it also took effect exceptionally quickly. She finished treating her wound, crawled up from the ground, and pulled her meteor spear out of the fairy maiden's corpse.
At this moment, Red recalled her experience of cleansing the poison, and she asked Lindsey with concern:
"Lindsey, what about the poison on your body?"
"I can sense that item, but it can't be reused for a short time."
"I have a strong constitution, so it's not a big problem." Lindsey replied casually.
The fairy maiden, in her attempt to extract information from Lindsey, primarily used her venomous attacks, not the malicious poison that had injured Red.
"..."
Lindsey also preparing for the upcoming battle.
Aside from the Banyan Core Branch, the accumulated experience from the previous ambush, the killing of the bear, and the Fifth-Phase fairy maiden before them, was finally enough to increase his attributes.
He added all the points to his constitution, raising it by 2 points.
His brain, still slightly dizzy, immediately felt clearer.
Then, he took out attribute-boosting food from his bag and distributed it to Red before opening his Hunting Journal.
The journal had an entry for Flower Spirit.
This was a spirit of the 4th to 6th phases, and the one they had just encountered was a Fifth-Phase elite individual, ready to grant a reward.
"Being of the same phase, yet the danger level is so different."
【Staff/Material: Nature Affinity】
【Consumes Essence, causing flowering plants to bloom rapidly. Can also be used as a material to craft other items.】
【Achievement: Unique Staff with special abilities, of moderate value.】
【1 Nature Affinity + 1 Wood + 1 Advanced Silk Thread = Blossom Fishing Rod】
【1 Nature Affinity + 1 Shoes = Blossom Shoes】
【1 Nature Affinity + 1 Wood Weaver + 1 Wood Spirit Core = Jungle Commander Staff】
"Another fishing rod?"
Lindsey thought for a moment; the synthesis system's production rules always had a traceable pattern.
The Blossom Shoes' function was probably a pair of shoes that could make flowers bloom, but it was unlikely to be of much help, so he decided not to synthesize them for now.
Then, the two of them prepared their defenses.
Under the cover of night, they set up traps to deal with the Treant Mother.
【I wasn't too satisfied with yesterday's two chapters, so I rewrote them today. Readers who read yesterday's chapters can take a look again? It won't affect the story much, but it's about the battle against the Treant Mother.】
