Chapter 213 New Type of Island
Based on Xiao Jin's feedback, Mo Ming drew a simple route map starting from the Sky Island, with the destination being the small island that Xiao Jin had discovered.
In addition, Mo Ming also gave her the analyzer to identify and record species.
With the map in hand, Lia and Mengling quickly arrived above the small island.
Lia stood on the back of the Reimu Whale, looking down at the island surrounded by the sea, her eyes filled with wonder and awe.
From above, the entire island is laid out before you. The island appears to be an irregular circle, surrounded by steep cliffs, with waves crashing against the rock walls time and again, creating layers of white spray.
Its area is less than one percent of that of the Sky Island.
While not as grand as the Sky Islands, it still boasts an area of nearly 2000 square kilometers, and its abundance and vitality fill Lia with admiration.
Unlike other islands she had ever seen, this island possessed a mysterious and unique charm. Under the blue sky and white clouds, the island's vegetation spread out as if splashed with paint.
The overall color scheme isn't just a single shade of green, but rather a vibrant mix of colors. These colors are predominantly distributed in large blocks, creating a wondrous spectacle.
On the southeastern hillside, a vast expanse of fiery red forest comes into view, resembling burning flames or a giant wing covering the earth.
The orange-red canopy gleamed in the sunlight, connecting with the mountain ridge like a magnificent ribbon engulfed in flames.
Adjacent to the red forest is a more tranquil blue-green area, where the vegetation is layered and distinct. Among them are tall trees that shimmer with emerald light, their branches seemingly carved from crystal, subtly conveying a sense of transparency.
On the other side, in the western region, there are some golden meadows. Large swathes of grassland resemble a golden carpet spread across the earth, with soft gradients at the edges as they are embraced by forests.
Yet, faint lines of dark green vegetation peek through the grass, as if the earth itself carries a natural texture.
The northern region is particularly peculiar, occupying a low mountain range in the center of the island. It is covered with a purple vine that intertwines with the intricate terrain, like a thick velvet carpet spread out.
When viewed from above, the entire island appears as if the earth is painting a picture, with vibrant yet harmonious colors, making one marvel at the wonders of the Creator.
"This island is truly a treasure trove," Lia murmured to herself, her gaze sweeping over the rich natural wonders at her feet.
She could already picture how excited Duoduo would be if she saw such a scene.
These unique plants definitely contain many undiscovered rare and precious resources, among which there is a high probability of special herbs, and medicine making and alchemy have always been Duoduo's expertise.
Looking at the small island in front of her, Lia seemed to understand why Mo Ming had sent her to scout this small island at the critical moment when there was an enemy attacking the Sky Island. Putting aside the glittering things that Xiao Jin found, the vegetation alone was already very valuable.
Considering its resource potential, this island is absolutely worthwhile.
In addition to the colorful vegetation, Lia also observed that the island's internal topography was complex, and the whole island seemed to be composed of several areas that converged from different directions.
Nestled against mountains and beside water, it features both steep mountain ranges and flat grasslands, with a clearly visible silvery-white river meandering like a ribbon in the center.
The river flowed quietly through several areas of vegetation of different colors, shimmering with a soft light under the blue-green canopy. The water seemed more crystal clear than ordinary bodies of water, like shattered moonlight poured onto the earth.
The river eventually flows into a small lake on the east side of the island, which, when viewed from the air, shimmers with a faint golden light, like a jewel embedded in the forest.
Mengling and Liya chose to land at the southernmost edge of the island for one reason only: the terrain there was relatively simple, making it difficult for ferocious beasts to hide.
The moment she stepped onto the island, Lia took a deep breath. The moist air was filled with the scent of plants and seawater, with a slightly sweet aroma.
The Reimu Whale, Mengling, hovered quietly beside her, its large body radiating a soft light, silently accompanying her without making a sound, but its large eyes were exceptionally lively.
Looking around, the edge of this island is full of life. The coastline is covered with vines that hang down from the towering cliffs and grow luxuriantly, with bright flowers blooming at the ends of the vines.
A gentle breeze blew by, causing the flowers at the tips of the vines to sway softly and release a faint fragrance. Lia crouched down and used the analyzer that Mo Ming had given her to scan one of the pale yellow flowers.
A moment later, the analysis results appeared:
【Seaweed Flower: Crimson Purple Grade】
Description: Contains a high concentration of catalytic substances, which have a restraining effect on metal corrosion and can be used as a basic strengthening agent in refining.
"It's actually a catalyst flower that can enhance materials?" Lia murmured, looking at Mengling. "The leader was right after all. This very edge of the area already hides something of extraordinary value."
Mengling seemed to understand her sigh, and gently swayed its massive body, as if responding to her, asking when its master's gaze had ever been misplaced.
As she continued exploring, Leah discovered that the terrain gradually transitioned from the gentle sand and gravel of the coast to the edge of the forest.
The further you go, the denser the vegetation becomes, and the plants along the way display strange colors you've never seen before, with low green shrubs forming soft "carpets" on the ground.
Interspersed among them were tiny, bright blue specks, like stars dotting the night sky. As Lia walked over, she discovered that those blue specks were actually some kind of fruit that the plant had produced.
She carefully picked a fruit, and after scanning it with the analyzer, she was astonished: "Starry Night Fruit, it's actually a rare energy fruit... it can be used directly to restore mental power!"
Lia held the small fruit between her fingers, her expression complex. "This kind of thing is rare and hard to come by. It will definitely be very useful to the leader." She took a deep breath, carefully put the fruit away, and noted its location.
Upon entering the forest, sunlight filters through the layers of tree canopy, casting dappled golden light that makes the entire forest appear mysterious and enchanting.
All around were thick, tall trees, each several meters wide, with deep purple bark covered with pale red veins that crisscrossed like blood vessels.
These patterns glow slightly like streams of light, making one think of trees as if they are breathing.
Leah walked up to a tree, pointed the analyzer at it, and after a buzzing sound, the screen displayed:
【Red-veined Wood: Crimson Purple Grade】
Description: The wood is hard and possesses absorbent psionic energy, making it suitable for crafting high-end weapon cores and rune bases. It is extremely rare and valuable, and logging it is very difficult.
