Chapter 002: Transactions

Raymond, exuding a foul stench, caused the bloodthirsty insects swirling outside the door to avoid him in fear

The intricate lines on the badge subtly form a spire-topped round tower, beneath which are several peculiar characters

The plant, which appears to be an ordinary banyan tree, emits large plumes of black mist from its trunk when animals pass by. This mist renders the animals that come near the tree unconscious. Subsequently, the slowly extending branches will wrap around the animals on the ground, lifting them up to the tree, where they are entwined by the branches and transformed into nutrients for the tree.

According to the instructions of Gu Mei De, he needs to traverse the forest before him, leave the Orland Empire to which Talant is loyal, find the port that has ships capable of crossing the sea to reach the Golang Highlands, and successfully board the ship

Moreover, the degree of ferocity is not necessarily related to the size of the body. Raymond witnessed firsthand a ferocious beast over three meters tall, akin to a tiger, being instantly killed by a bird the size of a head.

The old man sitting in the corner told Raymond a story about greed

As Raymond delved deeper, he traveled throughout the night in a single direction. Thanks to the night vision capabilities of the chip, he spared himself the need for the foolishness of holding a torch, which would have made him a conspicuous target in the forest.

The fire that extended from the stable has already spread to the room. Standing at the door, Raymond, with a layer of greasy substance smeared on his skin, exudes a foul odor that makes his complexion even paler

Although Raymond did not encounter any dangers during the three-hour journey before dawn, under the powerful surveillance of the chip, the nocturnal animals hidden in the dark corners of the forest were still detected by Raymond

The price paid by Raymond is that he can leave this small room with all his possessions, using a potion to pass through the blockade of the bloodthirsty insects outside, without being burned to death or being devoured by the bloodthirsty insects outside

An old man who once wandered everywhere in search of knowledge, dreaming of becoming a true wizard

Leaving the cabin, Raymond looked at the road leading to the nearby town and shook his head with a bitter smile, for the direction that Gumeide had indicated to him was on the other side of this forest

Completely transparent, yet continuously emitting a pungent and irritating odor, these social insects...

Although aware that the dark and eerie forest before him is fraught with unknown dangers, Raymond had no choice but to proceed, for this path leads to a town that also belongs to the Orland Empire

Moreover, with the arrival of dawn, some audio materials and visual recordings of these animals were indeed added to Raymond's chip

It truly is no longer Earth... As Raymond walked through the forest, upon witnessing the arrival of dawn, he once again confirmed that he had transcended his soul.

The vines hidden beneath the ground will suddenly spring up when animals pass by, tightly ensnaring their prey. The living creatures are twisted into a mass of blood and mud, absorbed into the dark green tendrils, leaving not even a complete bone behind

The content of the transaction is that within three years, Raymond needs to deliver his notes to the Golan Heights, to be handed over to a first-level wizard named Michel, and to inform him of the events that transpired here

The clothing that originally belonged to the servant was replaced with a white robe similar to that of the old man, and a palm-sized, gleaming badge was suspended from the chest.

Raymond held a small package in his hand, wearing a pair of short boots that appeared to be made of animal fur. As he looked at the fire spreading throughout the room, the old man, who had turned to stone, was enveloped in flames. After glancing at the books, Raymond slowly bowed to him and turned to leave.

The roars of a dozen fierce animals allowed Raymond to focus solely on the bloodthirsty plants. According to the data compiled by the chip, each ferocious beast has a natural enemy that can restrain it.

The terrifying creature that made Raymond's hair stand on end lurked in the shadows of the forest, carefully observing him while emitting threatening growls

Thus, after discovering that Raymond was not his dim-witted servant, Gumeide, who was currently contending with the petrification spell, felt quite pleased. He forcibly reached an agreement with Raymond.

Roaring madly, as if its territory had been invaded, this bear, over three meters tall and resembling a ferocious beast, made Raymond realize that the situation was dire. He immediately issued a command to the chip.

The sounds of other beasts stored in the chip emanated from Raymond's body. Upon hearing this roar, the beast that stood upright was momentarily stunned, and its eyes turned a bright red.

Without a map and with no memories to search through, Raymond could only choose a direction that led away from the road to the town, plunging into the pitch-black forest

Earlier today on www.hetushu.com, his most favored disciple, Talant, ambushed him in this room, attempting to seize all of the old man's treasures. Although Gumede ultimately injured Talant and drove him away, Gumede, who was struck by a petrification spell, now finds himself in a dire predicament

An animal with pale red flames on its skin, possessing three heads, resembling a lizard

In this forest, relying on the night vision capabilities of the chip, Raymond encountered many peculiar plants and animals along the way, which were distinctly different from the creatures on Earth

Amidst the exclamations, Raymond caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye of the enraged beast, which unexpectedly leaped into the air, glaring with its crimson eyes, and pounced right behind him

With the assistance of the chip, Raymond can see them from a great distance, allowing him to avoid the habitats of these animals and preventing him from inadvertently charging into their territory

Cautiously avoiding all potential risks posed by ferocious beasts, Raymond, on the third day of his entry into the forest, unexpectedly encountered a ferocious creature that suddenly emerged from a cave just as he had climbed a hill.

Through the analysis of the chip, the composition of the air shows significant differences compared to that on Earth. The oxygen content is higher, the composition of inert gases is more complex, and there are many unidentifiable reactive substances present in the air. The results from the chip detection indicate that the air is filled with radiation, which may cause slight harm to the body

Aow! Aow... ... Aow... ...

However, in this forest, some conflicts still occur. As Raymond ventured deeper into the forest, the gradually emerging strange plants became his nightmare

This old man is named Gumeide, and he is a third-level wizard apprentice

Traversing through the shaded paths, a wealth of information about these plants and animals was collected, particularly the roars emitted by the fierce creatures. Once stored in the chip, this information became a powerful tool for Raymond's self-defense

Hanging on the treetops, wrapped in six pairs of wings, a hairless little bird...

Especially during the day, numerous bizarre and seemingly formidable beasts appear in the forest to hunt. After witnessing these plants and animals that are entirely different from those on Earth, Raymond's pace slowed down.

The sound emitted by the chip seemed to further enrage the ferocious beast. Raymond, furrowing his brow, turned to flee before it could pounce. However, in his panic, he slipped and lost control, tumbling down the hillside uncontrollably.
