0329 White thorns erupt)
After inquiring, the woodcutter told them that in the small village ahead, there were only the village chief’s family with extra horses, so he asked Guan Heng and others to discuss buying horses with the village chief. Moreover, the village chief was hospitable, so everyone could stay at his house for one night and then continue on the road. ?
After saying goodbye to the woodcutter, Guan Heng said to Plangh, Hodley: "Our luck seems to be good. We have settled for buying horses and accommodation. Let's keep moving forward!"
When Guan Heng and his group arrived at the nameless village, it was already dusk, so they inquired about the path and quickly found the village chief's house and were warmly treated by the other party.
However, during dinner, the village chief told them some bad news.
"You want to go to Digong City?! It's probably a little difficult now." The old village chief said at the dining table: "Because, the road there is now blocked by some strange plants."
Meilu asked in confusion: "What strange plant?"
"Oh." The village chief sighed: "It's a tall and weird cactus that blocked the roads coming and going."
Everyone present looked surprised, and they thought at the same time: "What kind of cactus is it that blocks the road that humans walk on?"
"Well, old man. " Guan Heng pondered for a moment and asked the village chief casually: "Have you seen what those plants look like with your own eyes?"
"Well, the people in the village have not passed by there these weeks, but I ran there a few days ago and looked at it." The village chief recalled: "Each of those cactus is thirty meters high. Strangely, they are not green on the outside, but grayish-white!"
Hearing this, no one among the people present responded. He only looked at Heng and Plang and whispered a name: "White Bramble..."
The plant White Thorn is one of the seven spiritual trees blessed by the goddess of nature in the elves forest. It has tenacious vitality and has a high survival rate of artificial planting. Therefore, this plant is not known for its preciousness, but is called synonymous with death.
If only a small amount of white thorns survive, it is also a precious enchantment material in the elves forest. It is used to make longbows and arrowheads, which are solid and durable, and are no less weak than steel.
In addition, White Thorns are something that wind magicians like to use, and can be used to make various enchantment props related to wind magic.
However, the elves have extremely strict planting and care for this white thorn, and they will never dare to let this white thorn be planted in large quantities outside the elves. This is also the reason why the white thorn is called a synonym for death, because since when, this plant that was once blessed by the goddess of nature has been used by some people with hearts to do evil.???
Hundreds of years ago, some magicians learned a method that could give birth to white thorns to grow, which could allow this plant to spread infinitely, thus covering a large area of land, and greedy people used it to harvest white thorns to make huge profits.
However, this will have extremely serious consequences - the more white thorns produced by magic appear, the water source there will be rapidly drying up and a large amount of sandification will occur in the area.
When people noticed these things, one-fifth of the places on Ashton Great 6 turned into deserts. This disaster directly led to countless civilians losing their homes and land, and people continued to fall and die. This disaster was named "White Disaster" in later historical records.
"If it is really a white thorn, it will be difficult to deal with. These things will dry up the water source and cause the land to lose its vitality." Plang whispered to Guan Heng: "It's strange that plants like this rarely appear outside the elves forests. For some reason, they appear in this remote area, and they are near the capital of Kauru."
At this time, Guan Heng had just explained the White Thorns to Hyde, Meilu and Hodley. He turned his head and said to Hodley: "Isn't there a way to curb the crazy growth of White Thorns? Haven't you heard of it?"
"I know." Plane replied: "It is to use a large area of fire magic to completely burn these white thorns, because after they come into contact with magic flames, they will wither from the roots. This is how people in the past dealt with."
"That's right." Guan Heng pointed to his nose and smiled relaxedly: "Mei Lu and I use flame magic. I believe that those white thorns cannot stop us from going there!"
"That's it, Brother Fuxing..." Meilu just said this, and saw Guan Heng glaring at her, so she quickly changed her mouth: "Guan Heng is right, my fire wave technique is indeed a large area of flame magic, and it should be no problem to deal with these white thorns."
When the old village chief who was brewing tea and pouring water for everyone next to him heard this, he said happily: "This is great. I'll tell you that these strange and huge plants are giving us some headaches."
"We were originally located in a remote place, and there were many necessities of daily necessities that everyone needed to buy from a long distance, or wait for merchants to enter the village to sell." The village chief continued: "But after the road was blocked by huge plants, everyone had to go far away to leave the village. If several people could help dispose of the plants, it would be really thankful!"
"It's good that this will not only help us clear the obstacles to progress, but also do good things." Guan Heng smiled and said to Meilu, "It's also a happy thing."
After dinner, everyone was speechless all night. The next morning, Guan Heng and everyone, led by the village chief, came to the avenue full of huge plants everywhere.
Ang looked up, Guan Heng held his shoulder and looked at it for a long time, then said to Plang: "I haven't seen the real thing before, but these things are indeed exactly the same as the white thorns recorded in the book. What do you think?"
"I think it's indeed a white thorn." Prown squatted next to a plant at this time, and carefully checked it, "The grayish-white appearance characteristics are very similar. In addition, the ground here has no moisture and has a large cracked dry state. It should be certain!"
"Clang!" Hodley next to him seemed a little irritable. He quickly reached out and pulled out his sword, and slashed it on the gray-white plant with a click. As a result, only a shallow white mark appeared at the sword in the plant.
"What a hard thorn!" Hodley exclaimed: "This thing is much harder than a stone."
"I'll try it." Meilu said, taking out her short-handled staff, gathering the fire element in a swish, and a fire ball quickly formed, and then was thrown into the thorns.
"Boom!" The fireball exploded and suddenly split into pieces. A few white thorns were instantly roasted and crackled, but the flames quickly went out automatically.
