The group searched for a while and finally found their scattered luggage in the snow.
“The food is all gone, but the clothes and gold are still here. It seems like a monster did this,” Leos said with relief. “Let's collect everything first, and we'll return it to them when we get back to the surface.”
Naturally, no one objected.
In a moment, the luggage was collected and placed in the painting.
Then, the group continued on their journey.
However, finding the green dragon wasn't easy.
The deeper they went into the labyrinth, the larger it became. Also, this place was originally the territory of the red dragon.
One mountain cannot hold two tigers, and this rule applies to dragons as well.
Near the red dragon's lair, there couldn't possibly be a green dragon, otherwise, they would have already fought.
After searching for a while, they didn't find the green dragon, but instead, they found a very strange plant—the plant sheep.
The plant sheep, its roots, stem, and branches resembled ordinary plants. Its mature fruit looked like a sheep, and it only grew in places with abundant magic.
“How amazing!”
Bai He Chuan Hua, without waiting for anyone to call her, had already rushed to the side of the plant sheep. “Can you eat this? Is it good?”
For a foodie, the plant sheep was too tempting.
“Woo!”
Just then, a malicious sound rang out, and a black shadow pounced towards them.
Seeing that Bai He Chuan Hua was about to contribute her first death, Shigatsu Miko suddenly drew her sword. The sword light flashed, and the black shadow landed. It was a wolf-like monster.
Bai He Chuan Hua was startled and quickly retreated, drawing her long sword.
Even she knew that wolves were pack animals, and since one had appeared, there were bound to be others nearby.
The next moment, over ten wolf monsters rushed out, charging towards the group. Some of the wolf monsters cast magic, spewing flames.
Puu, puu, puu!
Three arrows in a row, and three wolf monsters froze, falling to the ground with a thud.
More magical wind blades flew out, cutting the wolf monsters into pieces.
The upgraded group was simply slaughtering these wolf monsters.
Even the wolf monsters' only threatening magic was completely countered by the dragon scale cloak, posing no threat at all.
“Xiao Hua, it’s too dangerous,” Shigatsu Miko put away her sword, reprimanding her.
Bai He Chuan Hua giggled, completely carefree. “I knew Miko would protect me. Hey, everyone, try some plant sheep?”
She gazed at everyone with pleading eyes.
Although they had just eaten, everyone was tempted by the sight of the plant sheep.
A sheep growing on a plant, what would it taste like? They really wanted to try it.
Lu Li waved his hand. “Let's rest for a while then. As for the plant sheep, let's pick one and make it.”
“Yay!”
The group cheered.
Even Marusil was looking forward to it at this moment.
After eating monsters for so long, it seemed that they weren't so difficult to accept anymore.
The law of deliciousness is truly a universal truth.
“Let me try this time,” Shiina Mahiru was eager to try. “I have quite a bit of experience with mutton dishes.”
Japan isn't suitable for raising sheep, so they didn't develop the habit of eating sheep in ancient times.
In modern times, mutton is usually imported and not a common item on the dining tables of ordinary people.
Logically, Shiina Mahiru didn't have any experience cooking mutton.
But being someone who pays attention, Shiina Mahiru would often watch some food videos during her free time when she was training. She had already learned about mutton dishes thoroughly, for this very moment.
She had even carefully recorded the methods for cooking the monsters in the labyrinth.
Naturally, Mori West and the others had no objections. They also wanted to experience the cuisine of this different world.
Shiina Mahiru used her long sword as a knife, quickly dissecting the plant sheep.
This monster was truly strange, not only did it look like a sheep on the outside, but even its insides had things resembling sheep organs, as if it were truly a living thing.
Shiina Mahiru transformed into a culinary god, wielding her long sword to divide the ingredients, then began to cook.
Mutton soup pot, cumin mutton, charcoal grilled leg of lamb…
One dish after another was created by Shiina Mahiru and placed on the cut stone table.
As expected of a terrifying woman who could turn people into couch potatoes, her first time making plant sheep resulted in dishes that were delicious, flavorful, and appealing to the eye.
“So fragrant!” Bai He Chuan Hua looked at it with pleading eyes, occasionally glancing at Lu Li, just waiting for him to give the command.
A moment later.
All the dishes were served.
“Let's eat.”
With Lu Li's words, everyone started to eat.
Besides the dishes made with plant sheep, the restless Mori West also picked some wolf monster meat and roasted a few plates.
However, the wolf monster meat was only average. The group's favorite was still the plant sheep.
“It tastes like crab meat, so satisfying.”
“Yeah, there aren't many opportunities to eat crab meat like this.”
Even the so-called king crab, with its abundant meat, couldn't compare to the plant sheep.
Bai He Chuan Hua proposed, “Let's get some plant sheep to raise?”
Shigatsu Miko frowned, “But this thing needs a place with abundant magic. Where will we find such a place?”
The manor outside the labyrinth, the magic there could only be considered average.
As for the real world, the Underworld, although it had abundant magic, the magic there had a taste that made people uncomfortable. Raising plant sheep there would probably produce some monsters.
Thinking about the plant sheep with glowing red eyes and growing fangs, Shigatsu Miko lost her appetite.
Furthermore, even if the plant sheep didn't mutate, it was still easy to be ruined by the evil spirits of the Underworld.
Unless someone was assigned to watch over them, the plant sheep wouldn't survive at all.
Everyone nodded their heads in agreement after hearing her concerns.
Eriri: “That's too scary, if I see the plant sheep mutate, I'll have nightmares from now on. It absolutely cannot be transplanted to the Underworld.”
桐须真冬: “Agreed.”
In the end, the group decided to go to the labyrinth to pick some plant sheep whenever they wanted to satisfy their cravings.
Of course, to satisfy her cravings, Bai He Chuan Hua still picked some mature plant sheep fruits and threw them into Lu Li's painting.
After eating plant sheep, everyone was satisfied and started to search again.
Days passed in a flash. The group had defeated many monsters in the labyrinth, but they hadn't encountered the green dragon.
“Should we continue going down?” Shigatsu Miko suggested. “We haven't found it in three days, it's probably not on this level at all.”
In fact, they hadn't even encountered flying dragons, red dragons, or other dragon species. It was as if dragon species were extinct on this level.
“No,” Lu Li shook his head. “The green dragon has already been found.”
The group was puzzled, then they felt the ground tremble.
The next moment, the earth shook and the ground split open, a huge cave appeared not far away, radiating a strange magical fluctuation from within.
“It's the green dragon's lair, everyone, move away!” Farlin was alert, wielding her magic wand and casting several spells on everyone.
Leos' eyes lit up. “We found the green dragon's lair, doesn't that mean we can also get our hands on the green dragon's treasure?”
As he spoke, the group had already grasped their weapons, ready for battle.
