Chapter 165: Looting the Boss’ Lair (2)

Silk flax is made of soft, lustrous, and flexible bundles of fiber that have the appearance of blonde hair. Back in the world, they are cultivated both for their fiber, from which line yarn and fabric are made, and for their nutritious seeds, called flaxseed or linseed, from which linseed oil is obtained.

If rapeseed oil is used for cooking, linseed oil is used to maintain and protect the interior and exterior of wood. A main ingredient in most paints and varnishes.

Cold-pressed linseed oil can also be used to moisturize skin, reduce wrinkles, and fine-tune lines on the face.

Flaxseed is also a featured ingredient in cereals, pasta, whole grain breads, crackers, energy bars, and snack foods.

Aunt He and the other women tied the flax in bundles and separated the linseeds from the flax plant through the use of a rippling comb made by Meng Chu yesterday.

The rippled flax was dried on a horizontally laid wooden pole built beside their huts, where there was no shade.

Similar to the flax, Rhyming Nettle, resembling mint plants covered in delicate flowers and tiny hairs, also had many uses, ranging from food, herbs for healing wounds and relieving inflammatory conditions, and fiber for clothing, string, rope, and fishing nets.

The middle-aged woman wore long sleeves, long pants, and rubber gloves courtesy of the handsome supervisor to prevent getting stung by the tiny hairs as they separated the leaves and seeds from the stem and bark using scissors.

"This seems like very mature nettles. It may be bitter when cooked. We can use the seeds, plant them, and harvest the leaves of the young ones. The leaves can also be steeped in tea or beer after blanching them in water and processing them," Aunt He said.

"Indeed," The others replied with smiles on their faces.

The forbidden zone was divided into two parts: swamps and vine forests.

The Yeti’s habitat was located in the vine forest, and one needed to cross the swamps, which were full of monsters resembling alligators, turtles, otters, snakes, toads, osprey, and other insects lurking at every corner, waiting to pounce and make a meal out of them.

Li Chunhua and Long Haoran knew of these beforehand, as they had already traveled more than a kilometer deep, but they never knew the forbidden zone was much larger, with many hidden terrains waiting to be explored.

Through the information provided by the map, they managed to avoid areas with poisonous miasma, quicksand, paralyzing thickets, and other monsters’ dens until the two of them found the clean trail.

On both sides of the trail were trees with blue fruits hanging from their branches, and green vines coiled around these trees, looking like hairs.

[Tropic Banana Tree]

Long Haoran wanted to take some back, but when he saw the poisonous description of the fruit, he dismissed the idea. With a poison buffer beside him, he reckoned no poison can compare.

As they continued to walk, it was getting dimmer with the trees becoming denser, making it difficult for the sun rays to pass through. They also noticed the temperature was warmer. Recalling the yeti’s fire-element skill, Li Chunhua had a feeling they were very close.

"Wait." Long Haoran made a torch on the spot and lit it with a match. Li Chunhua inched closer to him.

"There." Li Chunhua pointed to her left after looking through the map.

Long Haoran directed the torch in the direction she said. With the torch providing the light, the two of them could see only endless trees with dense shrubberies blocking their view of the trail.

Long Haoran leaned over her shoulders to look at the map on her hands, confirming it was the right path. He summoned his pan and went to scout ahead.

Li Chunhua followed behind him while being mindful of his surroundings in case those friendly and poisonous imps showed up and welcomed them with banana shower treatments.

The two continued until they arrived at the end, where there was a five-meter cave entrance and a four-meter-wide stand. One could see some sort of red crystal illuminating the space inside.

A prompt appeared in front of them.

[You have arrived at the entrance of the Emberward Valley.]

"We’re here." Li Chunhua rolled the map and stored it back in her inventory.

The two walked inside for a minute. The cave walls were studded with red crystal. The two were about to dislodge, but when they saw its name, they tacitly stepped back and lost interest.

There’s someone who decorates the wall with these?

If the elf was here, he would have different thoughts.

Li Chunhua prevented herself from wrecking the place. The two picked up their pace, never wanting to stay another minute in this place.

After ten minutes, they finally arrived at what seemed to be another forest was full of red flowers and many more kinds of plants.

Long Haoran activated his appraisal skill.

[Emberward Flower- Third-Class

-Components of some immunity formulas. Consumption of it had the certain chance to gain fire immunity passive skill. Long-term consumption can also raise fire-elemental skill proficiency.]

[Emberward Tree- (HP: 120/120)

-Perfect for roasting meat. Adds smoky and rich flavor.]

[Emberward Grass]

Long Haorana and Li Chunhua rolled their sleeves and looted the place, sweeping every flower, every grass, and chopped every trees leaving everything bare and this resulted into another wonderful discovery.

There was a path leading to another place, an underground cellar, full of barrels of [Millennium Emberward Wine].

Long Haoran opened one and the rich aroma only belonging to a top-quality wine drifted under his nose.

Then, the two started another round of looting and even took apart the wooden walls and dug a pit in case they missed other treasures.

Because the previous yeti boss was didn’t allow anyone to live within two hundred meters from his lair, the two could become full-pledged thieves all they want.

Unbeknownst to them, three hundred meters away from this area, a congregation of the friendly imps was currently happening, and it was spearheaded by an elder imp with a long white beard and holding a cane.

Due to the disappearance of their leader keeping the balance in power, the imps will fall to a disadvantage, and those other large tribes of raptors and bloodsucking mosquitoes will take the opportunity to invade and take their territory.

The meeting was called to address this problem and the council of wise imps proposed different solutions, until they unanimously agreed on one and it was to have every available imps to have access on the resources in Emberward Valley and have them improve their strength within the shortest time, in preparation for the possible war.

But when they went to the place, it had become already become a desert without a single stalk of grass and full of pits!

There were loud thudding sounds as the wise elders dropped in the ground from high blood pressure.

Meanwhile, the culprits went to another shopping mall, planning to raid the next victims.

(A/N: I just recently found out there is really a blue banana, and it’s called Java Blue Banana, and its texture is like ice cream, smells aromatic, and tastes sweet as vanilla.)
