Chapter 107: The Magic Plant, Konjac

Konjac, a low-level magical plant.

It has an oval shape, dark black surface, and brown wrinkled texture, with its roots spreading in sheet-like formations.

Konjac has many uses: it can be eaten raw to detoxify and is also used in potion-making. Many basic potions, such as mana recovery potions, basic healing potions, and stamina potions, require konjac.

Its market value is quite high, but it is difficult to harvest.

Konjac is favored by some magical creatures.

The areas where it grows are always inhabited by numerous magical creatures, making harvesting quite challenging.

This time, the difficulty had reached its peak.

Ogres are not creatures to be trifled with!

They are lazy yet violent, found in nearly every region of the western continent.

Ogres are enormous, averaging 3 meters in height and weighing over 300 kilograms with ease.

In terms of size and strength, they far surpass trolls!

Every adult ogre possesses more than 20 points in extraordinary strength, and some ogre warriors also have berserking abilities, making their melee combat power extremely formidable.

The average challenge level of an ogre is a solid 9+!

Encountering an ogre in the wild is far more dangerous than encountering a troll!

Though trolls have excellent regeneration abilities, their melee power doesn't match the crushing force of an ogre's charge.

Ogres have a broad diet and often live near their prey's habitats as omnivorous creatures.

They frequently feast on intelligent beings, particularly enjoying elves, dwarves, and halflings!

The most important factor is that ogres not only have strong individual combat abilities, but they are also communal creatures.

The ogre tribe occupying the konjac-growing area was a rare large tribe.

An experienced roguish adventurer, intent on claiming the full bounty, used special techniques to hide for three days, thoroughly scouting the numbers.

"Sixty adult male ogres, forty adult female ogres, twenty ogre cubs, and one ogre chieftain!"

"While female ogres typically don't participate in combat, they still possess formidable fighting strength and will intervene if necessary."

"On paper, this lineup is more dangerous than 200 troll soldiers..."

It wasn't that 60 male ogres had more fighting power than 200 troll soldiers.

It was simply because ogres are far more terrifying in the art of bullying the weak!

Junior shield-bearer soldiers can barely withstand troll attacks with the help of magical scrolls and auras.

But when faced with an adult ogre, they might be killed with a single blow!

If all the soldiers were brought into formation to battle the ogres, a single misstep could result in catastrophic losses.

And to top it off, Matthew had only brought 15 people with him this time.

However, Matthew's face was full of smiles, carrying the anticipation of leading his group into a high-difficulty dungeon.

While Matthew was contemplating what strategy to use against the ogre tribe, the convoy quickly made its way into the Dark Forest.

Before long...
