Chapter 1047 Restricted Area
Emery, Klea, and Magus Shena; the three dashed toward one of the floating islands that flew on top of the gas giant of Planet Hyperion.
This time, they were heading toward one of the eight restricted savage islands, a few of the places where extremely ferocious creatures and monsters resided.
As the three got closer to the island on top of the orbiter, Emery could already start to sense the energy markings of the beasts on the island.
When Emery noticed that the markings were not few, he couldn’t help but worry a little. After all, Hyperion was a special planet.
An A-class level 5 savage planet, one of the highest levels of danger a planet could be classified as.
The island in front of him was one that the habitat left to exist by the alliance for some unknown reason.
When the three were finally close to the island, Emery suddenly sensed a powerful magus figure approaching them.
“Emery Ambrose, an artisan of the Apothecary Institute… Yes, your information checks out.” A magus who seemed to be an entrance guard briefly scanned Emery from head to toe and nodded.
After confirming Emery’s identity, the guard turned to look at Klea and Magus Shena. When he also confirmed the two’s identities, especially Magus Shena being a full-moon magus, he finally deemed Emery’s little group eligible to enter.
But that wasn’t all. Before they were allowed to pass, the guard magus sent Emery’s bracelets a little add-on. Aside from being a small source of necessary information, it also contained various other things, like a map of the island, precaution signals, and even a feature to document everything they did on the restricted floating island.
“Wow, this is a pretty tight security,” Klea said in amusement.
However, not only did she not look worried after knowing how tight the security here was, but she even had a look full of anticipation on her face.
“This should be fun though, I can’t wait!”
The guard magus only glanced at Klea without commenting on her remark.
“You all clear to enter island, Be careful” He simply allowed them to pass now that their identities were confirmed.
With the guard’s approval, the three continued to dash toward the floating green island. According to the data provided, it was about 2,000 miles in size.
The floating island looked sprisingly unique. The bottom of the island thrust deep into the gas, and apart from the forest, they could see a swirling pathway which went deep inside the island. From the map its shown there are five of them all acorss the island.
A few miles away from the floating island, Emery stopped in the air to check the data he previously received from the guard magus.
“Okay. The island has four levels; the outer part, the inner part, the deep, and the core. Half a dozen different beasts reside in the area.”
[Outer – Magical beasts]
[Inner – High-level magical beasts]
[Deep – Low to mid-level legendary beasts]
[Core – Restricted access]
After briefly checking the four levels of the island area, Emery took out the harvesting list from Master Duli.
[Knotgrass – Tier 3 x 3000]
[Borage Mushroom – Tier 4 x 200]
[Nux Myristica – Tier 5 x 50]
“All right, we should start by harvesting the tier 3 plants first.”
It was only after Magus Shena saw Emery put the harvesting list back in that she began to speak.
“It looks like you already know what to do. I won’t be right behind you, but I’ll be around. Use the communication stone if any of you are in danger and need help.”
Before leaving, she added
“Contact me if you’re going to enter the deep level. As for the core, don’t get near it no matter what. That area is considered extremely dangerous, even for a magus.”
After the dragon bloodline magus magus left, Emery and Klea flew down into the forest.
Not even half a minute after entering, they were quickly greeted by a group of several savage beasts, monkey-type beasts with yellow fur.
[Gelada]
[Magical Beast – Level 30]
[Battle Power – 110]
The moment the group of creatures noticed the two trespassers’ arrival, they immediately lunged forward to attack. However, even with their number, Emery’s [Jade Roots] entangled them all together with ease.
Looking at them struggling yet unable to break free, Emery wished he could just use [Spirit Devour] on them. Unfortunately, not only were they wind-based creatures, but they were also too weak for him.
Kyaaakkk!! Kayak!!
The yellow-furred monkeys roared and struggled even more to escape the Jade Roots, only for the roots to tighten up and crush the monkey beasts to death.
“Errr, that’s nasty,” Klea shortly commented with a disgusted expression. However, the unpleasant look on her face didn’t stay for long.
In front of her, Emery swiftly used [Nature Sense] to find the first plant on the list.
“So what kind of plant we are looking for, let me help”
“It’s actually a normal-looking green plant,” Emery described.
Klea’s brows unconsciously furrowed a little.
“Emery… all the plants here are green.”
“Yes… Well, no need to worry about it, Klea,” Emery said with a reassuring smile before walking toward one of the plants on the ground and easily picking it.
The fiest plant on the list [Knotgrass] was ordinary looling green grass with a slight lime tint. After analyzing its characteristics and confirming that there were indeed no special requirements to fulfill in order to harvest it, Emery brought out Twik and the five Chizpur brothers.
“Kuang… ku… ku…”
The six plant creatures quickly became excited finding out that they were now at a new place,
With his [All Mind], Emery clearly communicated with them about his intention.
“I need you guys to locate this type of plant, but remember that this place is very dangerous. Stay safe, and only pick this type of plant.”
Knowing the creature are not stronger than the 5 brothers, Emery taught the plant creatures how they should go about picking the plants.
He thought that it would be good to get some extra for himself, so he asked the plant creatures to get 4,000 pieces in total.
“Work hard, guys!” Emery encouraged.
Seeing Emery’s interaction with the plant creatures, an idea suddenly crossed Klea’s mind.
“If they will harvest for you… then I will be your bodyguard!” the girl said with excitement.
“Sure you will.” Emery smiled and nodded.
Afterward, the two headed toward the center of the island and walked the path to the inner area.
“All right, this one should be more of a challenge.”
