Quit the team, then picked up a beautiful girl with problems

"Really?" The girls were a little excited.

Well, this is the first step, Leon thought.

Next, how can you not visit such a beautiful place? Then find a suitable waterside and go into the water.

Li Ang felt that he could predict the future actions of these four people, especially the first two members.

As the ship sailed on the water, the mist flowing down from the rock wall became thicker and thicker, and the whole ship seemed to be sailing in the clouds.

"It's like a fairyland—"

Dorothy had hardly finished her words when the boat suddenly began to climb the slope against the current.

Whether it was the water flow under the ship or the cloud waterfall in the sky, they all flowed outward from the higher points of the island. When the ship sailed upward, it seemed as if the entire sea of clouds was rushing towards them, and those who were standing on the deck with their support couldn't help but shrink their bodies.

The cloud waterfall rushed past, and a large amount of water vapor hit my body, wetting my clothes, leaving mist on the smooth surface, and then quickly condensing into water droplets.

The girls' hair stuck to their faces, and their straight hair drooped wetly.

After passing through the cloud waterfall, the tilted hull suddenly leveled off, and then the height of the cloud waterfall dropped rapidly, and the scene ahead quickly became clear.

Looking around, there is a vast expanse of water.

The deep blue lake is almost endless. At the end, it is blocked by a large forest with thick and tangled tree roots, but there is a gap between the trees, leading to another vast lake.

The edge of the lake is a wetland with lush aquatic plants. Low-level monsters and water birds can be seen everywhere. When they run and fly, they will shake the reeds and other waterside plants, causing them to sway.

These aquatic plants add multiple layers of color to the deep blue lake, including the gradient of light green, emerald green and dark green plants, including the dark brown and withered yellow of fallen tree trunks, not to mention the exotic flowers scattered here and there.

"I'm being conservative. This is Wonderland," Dorothy said with certainty. "I've seen it in a magazine, but the descriptions and printed photos don't compare to the real thing."

"Just looking at this place, it doesn't look like a place to prepare equipment for battle." said Alulu.

Li Ang nodded. He felt that except for her, the other three might have forgotten that the earth-attribute armor they made for the team in the Flashing Field was intended to be used here?

Li Ang turned his head again to look at Andasu who was silent, but found that she was completely shocked and didn't say anything.

It was not surprising. All the scenery she had seen in her life was yellow sand and dry land. After leaving the island where she was born, she had only been to the Theocracy of Watam and the Holy City of Vitask, and had never seen any truly shocking natural scenery.

When passing through the airspace channel, White Wolf would prick up her ears and stare at the airspace wind wall. At this moment, her eyes were wet and she was almost crying.

Li Ang guessed that she was instinctively attracted by the beautiful scenery, and also because it was her first time seeing it and it had a strong impact on her.

No matter how much she looks like a handsome young man, she is essentially an emotionally rich girl.

Dorothy tugged at Leon's sleeve. "We're staying at the Waterside Inn, right?"

Hearing this, Zoe also grabbed the other side and said, "Just live in a place like the one Pointy Ears mentioned."

"You'll get used to it after a few days. It's nothing... Hey! Don't worry! It's just that kind of place!"

Li Ang pulled the meat from their hands and said, "Mengze Island is a tourist destination. Guess what kind of guest rooms are most common here? The whole island is full of this kind of scenery, so yours will definitely be included."

He pointed to the lakeside port not far away: "That's one of the island ports."

Since there may be monsters at the pinnacle of the extraordinary realm lurking in the clouds above Mengze Island, in order to reduce unnecessary trouble, airships choose to enter through the canyon cloud waterfall waterway and then dock at the port in the lake to unload passengers and cargo.

"One of them?" Alulu asked, "Are there any other ports?"

"Yes, this is just the largest one recently. Do you see the lake behind that wall of trees?"

The girls nodded, and Leon continued, "The entire Mengze Island is made up of countless lakes of varying sizes. Or perhaps it's actually a large swamp, separated by trees."

"Are those the trees we're going to cut down?" Zoe placed her palms above her eyebrows and looked over.

"Those trees seem very tall to you?"

"Yes."

Zoe admitted immediately, as they looked taller than many city walls she had seen before.

"But that's less than half of our goal."

"Ah?" Dorothy cried out in surprise, and the white wolf and the calf also looked at her in surprise.

Li Ang pointed at the fog in the distance. Above the lake, the fog was already very light and visibility was very wide, but it was still hazy in the distance, and there was a vague shadow in it.

"That's the tree we want to cut down."

The four of them were silent for a while, and it was Zoe who asked first: "Can we move out?"

"There are professional timber cargo ships here."

As soon as Li Ang finished speaking, a giant airship sailed out of the port.

It was a converted giant cargo ship with a hull over 300 meters long, specially used to transport processed thick logs.

The girls looked up and saw that the wood fixed on the boat was like a mountain, casting a huge shadow.

It is difficult to see them unless you are in the trading city or the empty islands like Mengze Island where these large ships are needed.

The most common large ships are the large passenger ships of the Condor Company, but they are far inferior to these cargo ships.

After answering the transportation question, Li Ang discussed his plans for the rest of the day: "Since our destination is the center of the island, we won't stay on the outskirts for too long. We must keep moving inward."

He gestured towards the nearest port: "This is the lakeside city that is most open to the outside world. The powerful monsters around here have been completely eliminated. It is the main gathering place for tourists coming here.

"Let's go directly to the second lakeside city to book a room, and then find some low-level monsters nearby to practice with."

As soon as his arrangement came out, Zoe and Dorothy looked disappointed. Even the usually diligent Andasu seemed to be a little moved by the beautiful scenery and had no intention of fighting for the time being.

"Look, what did I say before?"

"It's a fraud. It's a fraud. You didn't explain the situation clearly before," said Dorothy.

"Go and go!"

Zoe pressed her palm against the hilt of the sword, then loosened her grip for a few seconds and asked, "What happens after we chop down the tree?"

Leon laughed. "Once we've transported the wood to the Rudder City, we can rest for a while. Am I a demon who won't let the team rest?"

"Yeah!" Zoe raised her hands.

"That's so nice," said Dorothy.

She didn't make any weird expressions, and she was clearly smiling.

When the God of Weapons docked at the first port, Alafia immediately ordered them to leave.

Because of Li Ang's harmonious chat with the group members, her expression became even colder.

After the Star Flower Brigade disembarked, she suddenly appeared again. After leaving a message to test Leon, she said one more thing before disappearing:

"I will follow up on the affairs of the Five Swords of the Divine Craftsman and the Empire."

The God of Weapons did not stop and immediately weighed anchor and set sail. This time it did not even take the waterway, but went straight into the sky and broke through the clouds.

When it was wrapped in the vast white fog, Ella Fiya's sword light swept out like rain, directly cutting through the clouds that obscured the sky of Mengze Island for a short time.

Around the Star Flower Troupe, whether they were tourists, experienced Sky Knights who came to cut trees and build boats, or novice Sky Knights who were no different from tourists, they all looked up at the sky in astonishment.

This scene almost shocked everyone. They couldn't understand how such a strong person could exist in the world.

The clear blue sky and bright sunshine shone down unobstructedly, making the slightly stuffy port suddenly become like a steamer. The environmental consequences of this made the crowd excited.

After a moment of shock, Dorothy clutched her chest in fear amid the noisy crowd and said, "I really can't mess with her."

Andasu frowned slightly: "Is she showing off her strength to us?"

Zoe said unyieldingly, "Leon can do it, right? Doesn't Leon have a Noble Phantasm?"

Actually, it really works.

An 8th-level professional, or even a stronger 7th-level professional, can do it with the right means.

However, Li Ang did not answer on the surface because he was afraid that this guy would take the opportunity to show off his skills again.

"Let's do our thing, we'll catch up one day," said Alulu.

"Really?" Dorothy smacked her lips.

Alulu frowned slightly: "You should have confidence. Sister Dorothy is obviously so powerful."

"I, I'm trying my best."

"Let's go," Leon reminded, "No matter what the goal is, start with the first step."

He led the group out of the port and into the city that had been completely specialized for tourism.

Here, some shops that mainly engage in tree felling and transportation auxiliary businesses have been squeezed into remote areas and lack customers, and they are only surviving because of their good location.

People who really know the business don't like to do business on the streets that mainly sell souvenirs and local specialties. They all go deeper into the island to find specialized business points.

However, the four troubled girls didn't care about this aspect. When they walked out of the commercial street, their hands were already full of things.

For food, there are special dried fish and dried aquatic monster meat, which are divided into ready-to-eat and roasted, spread with thick honey or hot sauce, salads made with a variety of fruits from the rich products of Mengze Island, and various processed foods that are salted or candied.

Li Ang only had time to stop them from buying raw and pickled foods and only allowed them to have a small taste.

It would be inhumane to not allow them to eat it at all. I don't want them to eat more to prevent parasites.

Although better healers in Newbiss can directly eradicate this disease, when you have an attack, it is equivalent to being parasitized, and you will inevitably feel uncomfortable.

If you only try a little bit, the chance of getting infected will be much lower.

However, seeing that they were holding snacks in their hands, especially Alulu who was relying on her divine power to grab and hang a huge amount of skewers and food boxes, Li Ang couldn't hold it anymore.

"I'm considering stopping your allowance until we get down to business."

"Don't worry, brother. I'll fix it soon."

"That's not what I meant."

Li Ang called a straw cart, which is a common means of transportation between lakeside cities.

It is just a larger sled. Since Mengze Island is full of water, apart from the lakeside city built on the only monitored land, almost everywhere is swamp.

Even on the water surface, the lush plants have formed a thick grass carpet. As long as the speed is fast enough, the grass sled can pass through it quickly without sinking.

The beast that pulls the cart with such tremendous strength and speed is the giant snake with its neck towering high in front of everyone.

This snake is over twenty meters long, and its body is very sturdy for a snake. It also has wing membranes stretched out from the inside of its body by bones. Its shape is very similar to a cobra, but these wings are not stretched out by the movement of muscles and bones. It really has extra sliding wings on both sides of its body.

The water flying snakes are extraordinary monsters. The locals have mastered a technique to tame them using some strange branches produced on the island. Once these giant snakes reach adulthood, they can glide at high speed on the water grass carpet and can easily pull grass prying machines.

The four of them marveled at the sight and sat on the straw sled.

The driver shook the reins, and the water snake lowered its body, swaying from side to side as it climbed up the main road and headed towards the water outside the city.

There is a multi-section mechanical structure between the grass sled and the snake's body to eliminate the left and right shaking caused by the giant snake's swaying. When sitting on the grass sled, this shaking is almost negligible.

Crossing the majestic wall of trees, the girls raised their heads high to gaze up at the treetops.

The trees had already been cut down, but the driver explained to the girls that they were only for building small boats, saying there was enough wood here. If they really wanted to build a large ship, they would have to go deeper.

Mengze Island was created through people's practical and intellectual exploration, by gradually opening up the tree walls and connecting multiple swamps together.

Arriving at the second lakeside city, Leon randomly found a cookie-cutter waterside inn, and then took the girls into the nearby swamp grass.

223. Violent Monster

"what happened?"

After leaving the town, Leon asked Zoe who kept looking back at Shuize Feishe.

"I found that small flowers bloomed on the heads of those big snakes." said the girl.

Leon thought to himself that he was indeed a beast-like guy.

"You're such a keen observer. That's a sign of domestication."

He explained that the rarest product on the island is not the giant shipbuilding tree, but a special kind of branch. They seem to be born out of thin air, do not follow the laws of biology, and can only be found occasionally among the grass and trees.

The person holding the branch picks the flower buds on it before they bloom and puts them on local monsters such as the water snake, so that they can control them to act according to their wishes.

"So, like the rickshaw drivers we met, many of them have tamed water snakes themselves and use them to earn a living from passengers."

"It's good to produce and sell your own products without being exploited," said Dorothy.

After the half-elf finished speaking, he noticed that others were looking at him, and he felt a little uncomfortable: "Why are you looking at me with such strange eyes? Do you think the flowers have something to do with me or that I shouldn't say the word exploitation?"

"You are quite clear about your own situation." Li Ang said.

"Oh, that flower is definitely not a demon flower. I'm not a young lady anymore. Now I'm just a poor little flower that Captain Leon can do whatever he wants."

"Save it."

After leaving the second lakeside city, the road disappeared after a short while. The vegetation on Mengze Island grows very fast. If you don't travel back and forth frequently, the road will soon be hidden among the grass and trees.
