As there was a possibility that someone else might be there before them, the five of them proceeded with their journey, their hearts heavy and their complexions reflected their uneasiness.
However, they moved quickly, and in a few hours’ time, they had already entered the depths of the Zither Moon Mountain Plains.
At this moment, the mountain was extremely different from when they had first stepped into it.
The change in the vegetation here was to an extreme. If the Zither Moon Mountain Plains border had normal plants growing, right now, what they saw in front of them were some relatively bizarre species of plants.
The most common plants were a species of big shrubs that were white in colour and their leaves had a strange spiral form.
Every time a gust of wind blew, the sea of shrubs would move with the wind, producing a sound similar to playing the piano keys.
* Ding Ding Dong Dong! * The piano-like sounds was extremely chaotic. Leylin became aroused, feeling a need to recklessly charge forth!
“Careful! This is the Piano Key Bush. The noise it makes can attract regular humans. Even an acolyte would be somewhat affected!”
Leylin warned, “Earlier, the missing people from the Zither Moon Town could very well have been attracted to these sounds, entering an illusion and dying in heat….”
After which, Leylin withdrew a few potions from his bag and distributed it to Jayden and the rest.
“This is a tranquilizing potion that I have brewed, it can resist such effects!”
Jayden, Roth, and Shaya looked at the test-tube in their hands and drank its contents after tasting a little of it.
As for Bosain, he shook his head to refuse, directly returning the potion to Leylin.
“I don’t need it!”
Leylin shrugged his shoulders and led the way at the front.
On the later parts of the exploration, there were traps with poisonous gases and ambushes. This was the reason a Potioneering acolyte was needed — to counteract them.
This was also the reason why Jayden asked Leylin to come.
