The Witch's Wandering Alchemist's Diary

Chapter 98 Resentment and Blood Fruit

Lou Le observed carefully for a while and found that in that open space, the goblins were huddled in one half of the dark area, while the other half, which was well-lit, was empty.

She carefully sensed it and indeed found a strong aura of death there.

Sitting on the bone horse, we slowly began to circle through the jungle.

We circled around to a spot with a good view, and finally saw the other half of the scene.

There were dozens of strange tomato plants growing there in neat rows, and you could also see the mad witch.

The mad witch's hair was indeed extremely dirty, and her body was hunched over, as if it were about to fold up.

She was constantly tending to the tomatoes, while goblins around her were cautiously watering them with various wooden jars.

The mad witch didn't leave until all the tomatoes had been drenched.

Lou Le had no desire to explore the mad witch, even though he knew her backstory must be very complicated.

But Lou Le only wanted to get the tomato.

After the mad witch left, Lou Le immediately rode over on his bone horse.

The goblins guarding the tomatoes immediately started screeching and chattering.

The goblins throughout the entire cavern became restless.

Goblins of all sizes rushed toward Lou Le, but Lou Le only released a few fire crows, leaving them dumbfounded.

Moreover, the bone horse kept spitting out two jets of frost, which was quite intimidating.

Only then did Lou Le continue to advance towards the farmland, while the goblins hid more than ten meters away, cowering in fear.

But as Lou Le approached the farmland, she screamed in terror again.

A goblin wearing a dog-tooth necklace suddenly roared and screamed.

It also held a whip made of vines in its hand, lashing wildly at the backs of the surrounding goblins, leaving bloody welts and dripping green blood.

This ugly little monster, besides having a haphazard diet, is also capable of weak photosynthesis.

This is the fundamental reason why they are able to reproduce so quickly.

It's a pity their photosynthesis is too weak; if it were stronger, they could be used for aquaculture.

The goblins screamed and cried as they were whipped. Finally, one goblin couldn't take it anymore and charged at Loule and Limera with a wooden spear.

The other goblins followed frantically, launching a mad charge.

Limera made a casting gesture, and several vines rose from the ground, about four or five meters high and incredibly thick, like tentacles emerging from the earth, and slammed fiercely at the goblin.

Smash it into a pile of mud.

The goblins chattered and squeaked, fear once again taking hold of their minds.

But before they could escape, several more vines sprouted from the ground and began to lash out at the goblins.

Lou Le couldn't understand why these goblins were so brave as to attack a mage.

A fully armed, armored adventurer can slaughter an entire goblin settlement.

Of course, some adventurers were just too unlucky. After being knocked unconscious by goblins throwing poop at them, they were killed by the goblins in various ways.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Lou Le felt that these goblins might be so afraid of the mad witch that they were desperately trying to protect these tomatoes.

If the mad witch discovers that all the tomatoes are missing, she'll probably go crazy.

These goblins were previously being coerced by the mad witch to take care of Tomato. If the mad witch goes mad, this goblin tribe will probably be wiped out.

That's why these goblins are going crazy.

Lou Le saw that Limera handled the situation well, so he stopped interfering.

We arrived right next to the farmland, and sure enough, the goblins had taken good care of it.

There wasn't a single weed, and every leaf was shiny from being wiped with water.

[The Blood Fruit of Resentment]

It is a plant of the dead: "Originally just an ordinary tomato, it was cultivated with heart and blood, and infused with hatred and resentment. In the fear passed down by word of mouth, it became a special plant."

(Note: This contains extremely strong resentment and unwillingness to accept defeat.)

(Note: This plant has no seeds; it can only be propagated by cuttings placed on the heart and infused with resentment.)

She dug up the roots of a Blood Fruit of Resentment and found a small bone cage beneath its roots from which the roots of the Blood Fruits emerged.

Inside the cage was a beating heart, its color a mottled, dirty mix of red and green.

These colors are absolutely hideous.

Lou Le dug out ten plants, threw them into the space of the magic book, and then looked at the remaining five.

"Let's leave these five here and continue to cultivate them. The Mad Witch has been taking care of them, and perhaps they can be cultivated into more and more bizarre Resentment Blood Fruits."

Moreover, if the transformation of these resentment blood fruits fails, they can be obtained again.

Lou Le always needs to leave himself a way out; otherwise, it won't work.

With that thought in mind, Lou Le rode his bone horse and prepared to leave.

The goblins had already suffered half their casualties, and their morale had plummeted once again.

Lou Le remained unmoved and simply returned to Graystone City.

It was nearly afternoon when we finally returned to Graystone City.

Just as they arrived at the lakeside in the inner city, a mage apprentice came looking for them.

It's Chester.

"Greetings, Your Excellency the Weaver."

Chester bowed.

"Oh, it's Chester."

Lou Le sat on the bicycle frame, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Are you here to buy medicine today?"

"Um.

Chester nodded. "There's another piece of news I'd like to share with you, Lord Weaver."

"What?"

Lou Le was a little confused; what news did Chester have this time?

"It's news from Ghostwood Town."

Chester said, "The situation there is extremely precarious. Many elves have gathered near the dungeon, trying to seize something from it. Meanwhile, the mages of Ghostwood are rallying their forces in several towns, hoping to gather strength to resist the elves' attack."

"We're just barely maintaining peace right now; we don't know when a full-blown war will break out."

"If it weren't for the fact that Graystone City is so far away from Darkwood Town, the mages from Darkwood Town might have come here for help."

"Because of the emerging industries in Ghostwood Town, too many merchants and adventurers have gathered there. They are all taking advantage of this opportunity to seize a larger share of the elven ropes produced in the dungeon and the surrounding spellbooks. They want to extract more profits from it. Now the place is full of firewood warehouses, and just one fire could set the entire forest ablaze."

Chester said this.

Lou Le simply nodded: "I understand, it's still very useful to me."

"I'll give you a discount on the medicine you buy this time."
