There would be another chapter in the evening, but it would have to wait until after midnight.
Only when the cavalry disappeared did Laura and the others come out of the carriage. Several people looked at the cavalry, then Laura turned to Green and said, "Grandpa Green, if it weren't for your tough attitude, I'm afraid those guys wouldn't have let us off so easily. That was really dangerous."
Green smiled faintly and said, "It's nothing. I've seen this kind of thing a lot. They're just putting on an act, nothing more."
Laura smiled faintly and said, "Entering the Beastmen Prairie, this kind of thing is often encountered. But generally speaking, even if the beastmen come to rob, they'll only rob food. As long as we don't resist, they won't hurt people. This is also an unwritten rule of the Beastmen Prairie. They still hope that we'll bring food next time. If they kill us all, then there won't be anyone to send them food. Moreover, in the eyes of the beastmen, we humans look the same, so they don't have to worry about us in the future. If Grandpa Green has something to do, you can go back to the Black Waste."
Green smiled and said, "There's nothing to do when I go back. Right now, the Black Waste is just preparing some things for the winter. With Quinn John and the others there, there's nothing to do. I'll follow you. If something happens, I'll come forward and solve it."
Laura smiled and said, "Okay, but the scenery here really isn't that good. It can't compare to the space. It's very boring."
Green chuckled and said, "The grass in the space is almost the same height. It certainly looks more beautiful than here, but it looks somewhat rigid. Everywhere is the same. There are still some changes in the Beastmen Prairie."
Laura smiled. What Green said was right. In the space, whether it was the view of the farm or the pasture, there were almost no changes. Everything was digitized. The grass was the same, even the length and the number of leaves were the same. It really didn't look like there were any changes.
Just as he was speaking, Green suddenly saw several small flowers blooming in the underbrush in front of him. He couldn't help but stare blankly for a moment. Then he faintly smiled and urged his horse to run over. He then jumped down from the horse's back, took out the Spirit Wind Sword, and dug out those several small flowers along with their roots.
Looking at Green's appearance, Zhao Hai and the others couldn't help but stare blankly for a moment. Then, they immediately understood Green's meaning. Sure enough, in a short while, Green took a few small flowers with soil and returned to the side of the carriage. He handed the flowers to Zhao Hai and said, "Young Master, this is the most commonly seen flower on the Beastmen Prairie, Star Grass. This kind of Star Grass is unique to the Beastmen Prairie and is also the most common type of medicine used to stop bleeding. Generally, beastmen would pick this kind of grass and dry it in the sun.
It is very effective. "Zhao Hai looked at the small flower in his hand. The whole plant was only about 30 centimeters tall and didn't have anything special about it. It looked like a small grass with a small flower blooming on it. The flower had five petals and looked like a small star.
Zhao Hai turned his hand and put the Star Grass into the space. The space's prompt immediately sounded: [Discovered new plant. Identified plant. Plant belongs to the herbaceous family. Hemostatic medicinal plant. Low hemostatic ability, strong vitality. Plant evaluation: level 5. One season plant, ten hours to mature. Plant digitized. Can be purchased in the space.]
Zhao Hai nodded and turned his head to look at Laura and the others. They were also looking at him. Zhao Hai couldn't help but faintly smile and said, "It's nothing. The space evaluated it as a level 5 plant. Ten hours to mature. Can't be upgraded."
Although Green and the others felt somewhat regretful, it was also within their expectations. If a random grass could upgrade the space, then the space wouldn't only be level 20 right now.
Laura's two eyes shined as she looked around, as if she was looking for something. Zhao Hai smiled faintly. This was the first time Laura had encountered such a situation, so she was very curious. Let her be. Nier was also very curious, but she wasn't very interested in plants. She was particularly fond of magic beasts.
Compared to Laura, Meg was much calmer. Meg had seen the space upgrade many times. This time, the space didn't even upgrade. What was there for her to be happy about?
However, this was a good start. The space only evaluated plants that didn't exist in the space and gave them experience. They had just entered the prairie and had already found a plant that didn't exist in the space. This could be considered a good start.
Green looked at Laura and smiled. "Actually, there are many kinds of plants on the prairie. But we aren't beastmen, so we don't know much about them. I've heard that there are many kinds of grasses on the prairie. Some are suitable for cows to eat, some are suitable for sheep to eat, and some are especially suitable for horses to eat. Hehe, when it comes to understanding the prairie, we can't compare to those beastmen." Laura nodded.
Laura smiled and said, "That's natural. The beastmen have lived here for generations. The prairie is their home. Of course, they understand it better. Later, as long as we can buy some beastmen slaves, then this problem can be solved."
Green nodded. What Laura said was right. The ones who had the deepest understanding of the prairie weren't the war tribes, but the slaves.
Slaves on the prairie were different from slaves of the human race. Human slaves needed to be marked, but slaves on the prairie were divided into different races. Slaves of different races could be recognized at a glance, so they didn't need to be marked.
Moreover, the slaves of the prairie were much freer than human slaves. Most of them relied on the war tribes to survive, herding and working for the war tribes. Because of this, the slaves had a very good understanding of the prairie's plants. They knew where the grass was good, where the water was good, and where the magic beasts were suitable for raising.
There was a reason why the slaves did this. For the Beastmen, magic beasts were their everything. No matter how powerful a Beastman's Battle Tribe was, their wealth was measured by the number of magic beasts they had. Almost all of the magic beasts of the Battle Tribes were raised by the slaves. As long as the slaves raised them well, the Beastmen would reward them. Because of this, the Beastmen slaves were very hardworking.
Because of this, as long as Zhao Hai bought some beastmen slaves, then they would have a complete understanding of the prairie's plants. In fact, a lot of beastmen didn't realize the importance of this knowledge. Although the beastmen of the prairie had their own written language, there were no records about this.
In the prairie, the general tribes didn't have slaves because the fighting strength of the tribes wasn't very strong. If they had a large number of slaves, then they would be robbed by the war tribes. If they didn't handle it well, then the tribe would be exterminated. This was a normal phenomenon in the prairie.
There were a lot of tribes that had too much property and were powerless to protect it. In the end, they were exterminated by the war tribes, and their tribes were reduced to slaves. This was the law of survival in the prairie.
Green nodded and said, "Buying slaves is a must. But don't worry, we have to take it slow. First, we have to understand the prairie's situation."
Laura nodded and smiled, "What I know is what Ah Tai told me. There's also some information that I've collected before. It's not comprehensive, so we have to understand it ourselves."
Green nodded and looked around. He didn't find any traces of tribes, so he turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Young Master, we have to hurry. Only the cavalry of Ironwall Fortress can be seen on this road. The beastmen won't come. We have to find a beastman tribe as soon as possible and stay there for the night."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "That's good. If we meet a tribe, we can trade with them. Hehe, I want to see what beastmen look like."
Laura also laughed. Beastmen generally didn't go to places where humans lived. There were some people in small places who hadn't seen a beastman in their entire lives.
Because they were in a hurry, their speed was slightly increased. However, they didn't encounter anyone on this day. This was also very normal. The Beastmen Prairie was too big. Moreover, the place where they were now was the buffer zone between the beastmen and the humans. There were very few people here.
At night, they didn't meet any beastman tribes, so they could only take everything back to the space and spend the night there.
After a night of silence, the next morning, Zhao Hai and the others went deeper into the prairie. But this time, Zhao Hai wanted to be open. He walked very slowly and kept looking all around. He also dug up a lot of grass and some small flowers and put them in the space. Unfortunately, they only encountered some common plants. Although some were taken by the space, they didn't give much experience. Now that the space had passed level 20, it would be very difficult to level up.
However, Zhao Hai didn't give up. He understood that many little drops made a mickle. He could only take it slowly. Being anxious wouldn't do any good.
To be honest, the Carrion Swamp had more plants than the Beastmen Prairie. But at the same time, the Carrion Swamp was very dangerous. If the 9th rank experts of the Carrion Swamp were to find out about Zhao Wen and Cai 'er, they wouldn't let them off easily. Therefore, Zhao Hai wanted to focus his energy on the Beastmen Prairie.
At noon, an eagle's cry attracted Zhao Hai's attention. Zhao Hai looked up and saw a blood eagle circling in the sky. From time to time, it would let out two cries.
Zhao Hai looked at it for a while, then he turned to Laura and said, "Not far ahead, there is a small tribe with about a few hundred people. We should be able to reach it by nightfall. Let's rest there tonight."
Laura didn't oppose, she nodded and said, "Alright, but we still need to be careful. Those Beastmen are likely to become bandits. I think we should call out some undead so that those Beastmen wouldn't dare act recklessly." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, but we still need to be careful.
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "No need. Don't forget that I'm a mage now. I believe that even those beastmen wouldn't dare to provoke us. Rest assured."
