As for whether it was a herb or not, he’d just have to dig it up and put it in the basket on his back. It’d give him points based on the herb’s properties and Qi, and after Lin Yi did that, the bright red point Bar on the basket really did jump up a bit, from zero to seven.

Ordinary herbs only gave one point, but this seemingly unremarkable flower directly gave seven points. It was quite a good start.

Lin Yi was delighted. Although his goal was to find the heart-devouring exquisite gra.s.s, it wasn’t a bad thing to collect as many other herbs as possible. Even if he didn’t put them in the Jade s.p.a.ce, he could still use them to exchange for points.

However, the following process was a little boring. Lin Yi did collect quite a lot of herbs as he expected, and in less than an hour, his points shot up to fifty-seven, but he still couldn’t find the heart-devouring exquisite herb he wanted the most.

It had to be known that in order to ensure that he could find the heart-devouring exquisite gra.s.s during the trial, he had done a lot of homework before this. He had even specially made a trip to the back cliff to consult with the “scholar” Lu bianren. Not only did he know the characteristics of the heart-devouring exquisite gra.s.s like the back of his hand, but he had also memorized the suitable environment for it to grow in. He had made sure that he would not miss it if he came across it.

However, he had already walked around the area for several miles, but he couldn’t even find the shadow of the heart-devouring exquisite gra.s.s. Not only that, but judging from the dark and damp environment, it didn’t seem like the heart-devouring exquisite gra.s.s could grow in this area.

“According to senior brother Lu, the heart-devouring exquisite gra.s.s is suns.h.i.+ny and easily appears in dry places with sufficient light. It’s not easy to find such a place in the deep mountains and old forests.” Lin Yi shook his head helplessly.

The deep mountains and old forests had plenty of rain. If it was in the secular world, it would be a tropical rainforest with no end in sight. The ground was either dark and damp with streams or streams. Not even a little sunlight could penetrate through. It was not easy to find the heart-devouring exquisite gra.s.s in such a place.

Even with Lu bianren’s hints, it wasn’t easy for Lin Yi to find a place that fit the criteria-he didn’t even know where he was, and there weren’t any signs or landmarks within a radius of a couple dozen miles. Even if he compared it to the map the back mountain Hall gave him, it’d be useless.

Anyone who had experience living in the jungle knew that the scariest thing in this vast jungle was not the fierce beasts and poisonous substances that were hidden everywhere, but losing one’s direction. In this dense forest where even sunlight was hard to see, once one lost their way, the final outcome was likely to be devoured by the dense forest.

In fact, without any landmarks around them, even an early-stage Foundation like Lin Yi would have a hard time locating himself. However, he was slightly better off than a normal person in that he could at least climb to the top of a tree and use the sun to pinpoint his location.

Apart from that, his other advantage was that his survival ability was much stronger than ordinary people.

But that was all. Lin Yi’s current mission wasn’t to survive, but to find the heart-devouring exquisite gra.s.s in three days. That was a huge difficulty! At least until now, he still didn’t know which direction the heart-devouring exquisite gra.s.s would grow in, and he didn’t know how far that place was from him!

It was a pity that Skybolt pig was still unconscious. If only this guy was awake! Lin Yi couldn’t help but sigh.

With the pig’s ability, even if it couldn’t help him find the heart-devouring exquisite gra.s.s directly, it should be able to find a dry place with plenty of light. After all, treasure hunting was this guy’s talent, and the most basic premise of treasure hunting was to sense the environment.

Finding the heart-devouring exquisite gra.s.s in three days … If Lin Yi only had a twenty percent chance of success on his own, then with the pig’s help, he had at least an eighty percent chance!

It was a pity that Skybolt pig had been unconscious ever since they arrived on Sky Cla.s.s Island. It had been more than twenty days, and Lin Yi didn’t know how to wake him up. If it weren’t for the fact that its vital signs were still stable, Lin Yi would’ve thought that this guy had already turned into a plant pig.

Since he couldn’t count on the Skybolt pig, he could only count on himself!

Lin Yi took a deep breath, found a tree and started climbing.

He could only see further when he was high up. He tried to climb to the highest tree nearby and find a place that was suitable for the growth of the heart-devouring exquisite gra.s.s. This was the last hope he could put his hope on. He was a little stupid, but it was better than blindly searching like a headless fly.

Lin Yi was extra careful when he was climbing the tree, always on guard for any movement around him. He learned from the previous experience that the trees weren’t as messy as the ground with all kinds of poisonous snakes and beasts, but it was more dangerous.

In this kind of dense forest, the more powerful the creature was, the more likely it was to occupy the large s.p.a.ce above, just like the giant python and the black ape they had encountered before. The snakes and beasts on the ground were troublesome, but they didn’t pose much of a threat to Lin Yi. However, it was a different story on the top of the dense treetops. There might be some powerful and ferocious Foundation Stage spirit beasts there.

The tree Lin Yi was looking for was technically out of the Python’s territory, so he didn’t have to worry about it. However, while he was climbing up, there might be another spirit beast that was as strong as him already.

He kept feeling like there was a powerful creature staring at him from a dark corner, but he made it to the top of the tree without any danger. He had a good view.

But after some observation, even someone as strong-willed as Lin Yi couldn’t help but feel discouraged.

There was no other reason. No matter which direction one looked, the scenery was almost exactly the same. It was all the same endless treetops. The only difference was that when one looked North, in addition to the treetops, one could see a towering mountain in the distance. It was so high that one could not see the top, and it reached straight into the clouds. This was the main body of the so-called back mountain.

The back mountain Hall was South of the mountain, and Lin Yi had a general idea of where he was now, but he didn’t know which direction he should go next.

None of these four directions seemed to be suitable for finding the heart-devouring exquisite gra.s.s. It might be possible to find it after reaching a certain height in the back mountain in the North, but there was no need to think about it. According to the map, it was already the inner area of the back mountain. The restrictions of the inner area had not been opened, so there was no way to enter.
