Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Chapter 682 A vast Ivywood Forest!

"Come quick, folks, there's a huge Ivywood Forest up ahead!" Roseanne exclaimed, turning back excitedly. Mamie and Scales rushed over upon hearing the news.

Ivywood, a famously robust type of legume, originated from a remote region in Faeland before being introduced to the mainland. Known also as the Crossriver Dragon or Bullseye, it typically thrives in mixed forests along streams or slopes, climbing high into the canopies.

Scales gazed at the sprawling Ivywood Forest, its thick branches twisting and turning, its roots stretching out to water sources fifty meters away, weaving through the woodland like a colossal creature.

He was first in awe, then delighted.

"The pods of Ivywood can reach up to a meter in length, useful for medicinal purposes and as collectibles. They fetch a pretty penny on the market, a rare find indeed."

Roseanne nodded, "But this Ivywood Forest looks vast; finding pods won't be easy, especially with the sun setting. How about we split up and look around, then regroup here at six?"

Mamie and Scales agreed without objection.

The forest was deep and expansive, raising concerns about getting lost. Roseanne suggested using a cross as a sign to mark their paths for each other.

Then, they each took different trails in search of the pods.
