546 Chapter 546 Aromatic Wood

546 Chapter 546 “Aromatic Wood“

"Ah, so the senior here is the one helping us." Seeing Long Ao Zhen also admitting it, Shu Chen quickly believed what Li Shi Ying said. After all, he too did think that it is impossible for Li Shi Ying alone to defeat the spider.

It must be this mysterious man here who defeated the spider.

"So...what will we do next?" Long Ao Zhen didn’t know anything about the treasure hunt mission. He came as fast as he could to find his bunny, and thus didn’t have time to find out about the treasure hunt.

"You see the rest, in this island is a treasure hunt. Each of us have to find these 7 treasures in three days." Li Shi Ying explained about the test to Long Ao Zhen. She opened the scroll and showed it to both of them.

"Oh the golden leaf, we have that already?" Long Ao Zhen could finally guess why there was a corpse of a giant spider with it’s body parts scattered everywhere. This spider must be the one guarding the golden leaf!

"Yes, we have that. Here, for you." Li Shi Ying took out a piece of golden leaf for Long Ao Zhen, so he too could get the first item they needed in this treasure hunt.

"Ok good, what’s the second item?" Long Ao Zhen stored the leaf in his spatial ring as he asked Li Shi Ying again. Shu Chen too was listening carefully, since he needed the second item too.

"It’s...aromatic wood." Li Shi Ying saw the next item listed and couldn’t help but frown. Aromatic wood? Where could they find it??

"I know of aromatic wood, but sadly I don’t know where it grows. I think the villagers here must know." Shu Chen, as a boy coming from an alchemist family, knew about this aromatic wood.

This wood was often used for incense. The aroma coming from the incense made from this wood had a good effect, to calm the mind and heal internal injuries. This wood was considered rare too!

"Let’s ask the villagers then." Li Shi Ying saw that a few hunters already arrived in their place, so she urged Long Ao Zhen and Shu Chen to leave the deserted place.

They couldn’t be seen here, otherwise the hunters would suspect them to be the ones who defeated the spider, and for mere students to be able to defeat a divine beast, it could arouse suspicion!

Village.

"Aromatic wood? No, I don’t know." It’s been the n-th time Li Shi Ying asked villagers at the village she visited before, but none of them knew about this wood.

"That was the twentieth person already!" Shu Chen sighed, seeing no villagers around here knew about where they could find this aromatic wood.

For sure, these villagers knew something, but upon seeing their uniforms, all of them suddenly turned cold and indifferent.

"Are there any other participants who know about this wood?" Li Shi Ying thought that it was already 9 a.m, meaning, the rest of the participants would already be here. Maybe around 50 of them?

Jiu Wei said that there were 100 academies participating in this tournament, the best 100 academies in the whole Sui He Continent. There were 7 people from one academy, so the total participants were 700 people.

That old man before said that these 700 were separated to the 7 different islands. Only 100 would come to the same island as her.

But she saw that many died on the way, so maybe only half of them arrived. If so, why hasn’t she seen any of them arriving to this village?

This village is right behind the forest after they arrived at the beach, so the other students should be here soon...maybe some of them would know where this wood was, and thus they could follow them.

"Those participants must still be busy finding the treasure list, or finding the golden leaf." Shu Chen shrugged his shoulders, feeling despair.

Those participants who had just arrived must still be searching for the treasure list. It’s useless to hope those idiots could also find the aromatic wood!

"Oh, we’re lucky then." Li Shi Ying muttered to herself realising that she was lucky to get the treasure list without having to search for it first. It was truly a special benefit for her!

"Let’s go to the river first. I remember aromatic wood usually could be found near water." Shu Chen sighed again for the n-th time, before he suggested the three of them to go to the river.

Maybe they could find something there.

Riverbank.

"I can’t find aromatic wood at all." Shu Chen searched for a tree, a special one, so he could get the wood, but he didn’t find those kinds of trees.

"Ugh, what should we do..." Li Shi Ying was just about to give up finding this item, and move onto the next item to find when suddenly, a fisherman came to them for help.

"Good students, can I ask for help?" The fisherman looked old and weak, but his sudden appearance near them startled Li Shi Ying and the rest.

!! This old man...is not a simple old man!

Li Shi Ying even had a feeling that this old man was the same old man she met at the beach.
