From Sea Spirit City to the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, if one were to ride a carriage, it would take about ten days. But since Zhao Hai and the others were walking, it was naturally much slower. It took them nearly a month to reach the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain.
Along the way, they didn't encounter any problems. Even when they passed by some villages, when the villagers heard that they were going to the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain and that they were Plant Masters, they respected them very much. This was because with the promotion of the Mountain Bean, the people of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain knew about the role of Plant Masters. Naturally, they respected Plant Masters even more.
Along the way, Zhao Hai was also doing two things. One was to have the apprentices carefully observe the Plant Masters and treat the sick plants. The other was to have the apprentices learn how to refine variant seeds.
Mutated seeds were a very important method for plant masters to use in battle. Currently, these apprentices only had this method of fighting. Therefore, when it came to refining mutated seeds, these apprentices were very serious about it.
When they arrived at the foot of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, they were shocked. The Ten Thousand Beast Mountain was worthy of being a place where the beasts of the Mixed Spirit Continent lived. The vegetation here was very rich. As far as the eye could see, there was an incomparably huge forest. It was impossible to see anything inside. There were all kinds of trees, tall ones, short ones, thick ones, and thin ones. Moreover, the forest was dark, just like a normal rainforest.
Zhao Hai wasn't unfamiliar with this forest. When he saw the trees, he had already established a connection with them. Because of this, he knew that there were no beasts in the vicinity that could threaten them.
Zhao looked at the apprentices who were staring blankly at the forest and said, "Plant masters like to be close to nature, and plant masters are almost invincible in the forest. This is because plant masters can command plants to help them fight, and they can also use plants to help them monitor their surroundings. But this is something that you need to learn slowly. You need to learn how to communicate with plant masters. Right now, your communication with plants isn't very good, so if you want plants to help you monitor your surroundings, it won't be easy."
The apprentices all nodded. Zhao Hai looked at them and smiled faintly. "When Plant Masters go out, they don't need to bring food, just some salt is enough. We all brought a lot of salt, enough for us to eat. But today, we can be considered as having a good meal." The apprentices nodded. After he said that, Zhao Hai waved his hand. Everyone didn't understand what Zhao Hai meant. Zhao Hai smiled faintly as he walked forward. After passing through a few trees, he arrived under a tree. Upon seeing the things under the tree, everyone couldn't help but stare. This was because several pheasants were lying under the tree. The pheasants' bodies were wrapped tightly by grass, they couldn't move at all.
Although the apprentices wanted to eat pheasants, they were more surprised by Zhao's strength. If they weren't a plant master, they might not have felt anything when they saw Zhao's move. They might have just thought that it was a plant master's technique. But when they really understood plant masters, they knew how plant masters got along with plant masters. They knew how plant masters fought, and they knew how plant masters fought. Only then did they realize how difficult this move was.
First of all, they were so far away. How did Zhao Hai discover the pheasants? Actually, they were so far away. How did he command the grasses to help them fight?
Although these apprentices couldn't be considered as official Plant Masters, after a month of teaching by Zhao Hai, they had learned a lot of things. For example, how to use plants to help them fight, how to command plants to fight, and how to use mutated seeds to fight. They had learned all of these things.
However, what they learned was one thing, but it wasn't easy to make good use of what they learned. First of all, they had to command the plants to fight. Most of them could only use their hands to touch the plants and then have the plants help them fight. If they didn't touch the plants, then they wouldn't listen to them.
But what about Zhao Hai? He was so far away, yet he was already able to make the plants help them fight. Although they were just grasses, this kind of control, coupled with such a long distance, made them very surprised.
After Zhao Hai handed the pheasants to the apprentices, he led them further in and harvested a goat and a few Three-eyed Rabbits. Then he led them out of the forest and cleared an open space, preparing to make it their camp.
These days, Zhao Hai had been leading them outside. Because of this, each of them brought a piece of animal skin and spread it on the ground. Then they could sleep on the ground. Fortunately, it didn't rain these days, so they didn't have to worry about getting wet.
Seeing the apprentices spread the animal skin on the ground, Zhao Hai couldn't help but smile. Then he said, "Actually, these days, I've been leading everyone to camp in the wilderness. I wanted to see if you've thought about using your own strength to change your lifestyle. But it seems like you don't understand what I mean. This made me a bit disappointed."
When the apprentices heard Zhao Hai, they were all stunned. Then their faces showed a trace of panic. Everyone looked at Zhao Hai in confusion.
Zhao Hai looked at them and discovered that only one of them had a thoughtful expression. This person was Wu Yu, a student that Zhao Hai thought highly of. He was also the one who proposed the plan of planting alfalfa and raising Three-eyed Rabbits.
However, Zhao Hai didn't let Wu Yu say what he thought. Instead, he directly said, "You know the abilities of a Plant Master, but you also need to know what the most important task is. Fighting is never the most important task of a Plant Master. Although a Plant Master also needs to fight, fighting isn't the strongest aspect of a Plant Master. The strongest aspect of a Plant Master is actually the ability to improve people's lives. If a Plant Master can't even use his ability to improve his own life, then how can he use his ability to improve the lives of others?"
The apprentices stared at Zhao Hai. They understood what Zhao Hai meant, but they still didn't understand what Zhao Hai's words had to do with them camping here.
Zhao looked at the crowd and said, "We plant masters really don't need to go through so much trouble when building a camp. Take this time, for example, the place I chose has a lot of grass. Most people who want to build a camp must first remove the grass, because there may be snakes, insects, rats, ants, and other things hidden in the grass. I'm afraid no one would be willing to sleep on it. Am I wrong?" Zhao nodded and said, "I'm not wrong, right?"
Everyone nodded. Zhao looked at them and said, "But for plant masters like us, plants are not our friends. Grass is our best friend. Although grass is very common, it is the most widely distributed plant in the entire continent. Therefore, if you use it well, it will bring you a lot of unexpected gains. Just like building this camp, look carefully." Zhao nodded and said, "But for plant masters like us, plants are not our friends. Grass is our best friend. After he said that, Zhao Hai walked towards a piece of grass. Then with a wave of his hand, the grass began to grow wildly. It didn't take long before the grass grew to a meter tall, almost two Mego meters tall. Then the grass began to intertwine together and slowly formed a grass tent. Zhao Hai went straight in and saw that there was actually a straw mat inside the tent. After Zhao Hai went in, another row of grass quickly grew in front of the tent, blocking the entrance of the tent. This way, the tent was completely blocked. Not only could it block the wind and rain, it was also very convenient and warm.
Then Zhao Hai pulled the grass that acted as the door and walked out. He looked at the stunned crowd and said, "Even if you can't do this, you can still use the grass to make a straw mat. You can even use the grass to make a sleeping bag. Moreover, the grass can also block the wind and rain. How good of a choice is this? But you actually didn't think about it in the past few days. Now, you're still sleeping on animal skins. As Plant Masters, don't you think that this is very shameful? Let me tell you, when you enter the forest, it's definitely not a good choice to bring animal skins. Animal skins are generally from wild beasts. Even if it's tanned, it would still have the smell of the wild beast. If it's a herbivore's skin, it might cause the beasts to attack. If it's a ferocious beast's skin, then it would be even more troublesome. Although the smell of the ferocious beast might scare away a lot of beasts, it would also attract the attacks of the beasts in this territory. Because of this, Plant Masters generally don't use animal skins before entering the forest. "
At this point, Zhao looked at the apprentices and said, "Sometimes, in order to understand a plant, plant masters may stay in the wild for a few months. For such a long time, they have to prepare all of their own living supplies. They have to make good use of every plant, grass, tree, vine, everything. Even if necessary, they have to collect salt themselves."
At this point, Zhao couldn't help but sigh. "Being a plant master is a very boring profession, at least in the eyes of some people. This is because a plant master can spend more time with plants than with their family. So you have to be mentally prepared for this." Zhao sighed and said, "Plant master is a very boring profession, at least in the eyes of some people.
Not only were the apprentices not scared, instead, they resolutely saluted Zhao Hai and said, "Yes, Mister. We will remember this. Rest assured, we will certainly work hard."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he smiled and said, "Actually, what I said today might be a bit too much. You might not have fully adapted to your identity. You are Plant Masters, and Plant Masters can endure hardships. But in the process of suffering, we need to make ourselves as comfortable as possible. Let's not talk about other things, just take this grass tent as an example. For many Plant Masters, this might be a superfluous thing, but it can make me more comfortable. When I'm in the tent, I don't need to worry about the wind and rain affecting me. I can rest better, and when I'm well rested, I can work better. So don't underestimate this kind of environment, it might directly affect your work and cultivation. Everyone, try to use the grass to make yourself a more comfortable place to live. Over time, you will get used to it. Moreover, in this process, you can also improve your control of natural energy.
The apprentices nodded, then they began to use the grass to make themselves a more comfortable place to sleep. Naturally, they didn't have the ability to make a tent like Zhao Hai, but it was still possible for them to live more comfortably.
When they used the grass to make something, they immediately felt the difference. If you want the grass to move according to your will, then the requirements for your control of natural energy would be very high. Because of this, almost all of the things that they made in the beginning couldn't be used. Most of them only made the grass grow taller, but they didn't make anything else.
But even so, they still found some benefits. They discovered that they were closer to the grass. Moreover, after the grass grew taller, the insects inside the grass ran away. Even those that didn't have time to run away were now running away. Most importantly, they could clearly feel the movements of the insects inside the grass.
Seeing this, the apprentices became even more happy. They rested for a while and restored their energy before they started the second construction. This time, the situation was better than the previous time, at least they were able to make the grass twine together. Then they started the third construction.
Zhao Hai looked at the apprentices who were in high spirits as they experimented. He couldn't help but faintly smile, he didn't care about them. Instead, he picked up some dead branches and cleaned up the pheasants, wild goats, and Three-eyed Rabbits. Then he made a fire and made some coarse salt. After that, he rubbed it on the meat and began to roast it.
This time, Zhao Hai didn't use his spatial equipment very often. Although everyone knew that he had a spatial equipment and that there were a lot of things inside, Zhao Hai also told them that he brought them out to train. Because of this, he wouldn't provide them with too much help. He would only teach them how to survive in the wild. Because of this, although Zhao Hai had a lot of good things inside the Space, he rarely took them out. He only took out some salt and used it to roast the meat. He didn't even take out an iron pot, he just roasted the meat, he didn't make any soup at all.
However, after walking for a day, the hungry apprentices were quickly attracted by the aroma of the roasted meat. Zhao Hai looked at the apprentices who were swallowing their saliva and couldn't help but smile, "Plant Masters are generally good cooks. This is because most of the food they eat is made by themselves. If you want to eat better, then you need to learn how to cook. You need to learn how to do this in the future. After all, I can't follow you all the time. You need to go out and train on your own. Alright, prepare some Bread Fruits as well as some water, we're going to eat."
The apprentices nodded, then they immediately went to prepare some Bread Fruits. At this time, each of them had several Bread Fruit seeds on them. Moreover, these seeds had already been refined into mutated seeds, allowing them to grow into a Bread Tree.
