The Interstellar's Expert Plant Tamer

Xie Sen felt that the timing and location of the unusual forest was too coincidental, but it didn’t matter if it was coincidental or not, whether it had anything to do with the red energy or not, he had to go there. He asked Maine, “When are you going to go? I’ll go with you.”

Maine frowned, and refused outright. “No. The further into the forest, the more dangerous it is. You can’t go.” He paused and added, like a child, “I’ll be back as soon as I can.”

Xie Sen spread his hands. “I have to go. Either with you, or by myself.” He pointed to his right shoulder. “What I said I was looking for before, it sensed it, and it’s in the danger zone in the eastern part of the forest.”

Maine’s brow knitted slightly. “Something to do with this disturbance?”

“I don’t know,” Xie Sen said as he walked towards the kitchen. “I’ll make dinner and talk to you later.”

Maine followed him into the kitchen. “I’ll help you.”

Xie Sen smiled. He knew that he was fine, so he didn’t stop him. When he thought about going to the forest, he was a bit worried. “It’s still 600 or 700 kilometers out of the city. Is there a way to get to the danger zone quickly?”

“You can rent a flying machine to get from the sky to the destination, then you climb the traction ladder to land on the ground. It’s the fastest way, but there will be danger.”

Xie Sen thought that sounded quite reasonable, “Is it quite demanding on personal fitness? Aren’t you afraid of falling down halfway from losing strength?”

Maine’s hand movements paused slightly, and he wanted to laugh. “If you can’t do that, then going to the forest is basically sending yourself to your death. The danger I’m talking about is the possibility of being attacked at any time during the descent. Not only by birds, but also all kinds of huge beasts, such as pythons. In addition to the dangers during the descent, there’s no guarantee of safety after descending due to the unknown dangers below the direct landing zone.”

Xie Sen listened with trepidation, but thought of what Adam had said. He had the aura of nature on him. If he didn’t actively attack animals, they wouldn’t attack him, so he was reassured again.

“Is there any other good way?”

Maine said, “Apart from this, the only way is to rent flying contract animals. But to ensure safety, each contract animal will only take the owner and one guest, and the speed is one tenth of the flying machine.”

Xie Sen thought about flying on the back of a bird without cover, and was already busy shaking his head. Watching it on TV felt very cool, but in fact the airflow generated by the flight process would definitely kill people. Also if he didn’t have a firm grip, and accidentally got blown off that would be really bad.

“Let’s rent a flying machine. Is it expensive?” he asked.

“It’s not expensive. 50,000 a day, so 100,000 for our round trip will be enough,” Maine said. “In addition to transportation, we have to prepare medicine, food and some tools. Also we can’t leave for a few days.”

Xie Sen counted the time. “There are still seven days until your birthday. Why don’t we go after your birthday?”

He could also take advantage of those days to collect energy so that once they were in the forest, they’d have the ability to protect themselves.

Maine pondered for a moment. “That’s fine.”

After he ate, Xie Sen contacted Sun Mao, and asked to work overtime tomorrow so that he could transfer his shift the next week.
