Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes-Chapter 317 - 316: Land of the Far South, Orange Text
After passing Yexuan, continue heading south.
The scenery keeps changing, with lush greenery all around.
Such sights weren’t seen even in the summer of Great Wei, let alone winter.
Perhaps due to ample rainfall, tall trees grow on this southern side.
Their trunks are thick, striving upwards to capture more sunlight.
And beneath these trees, various plants can only steal some light through the gaps in the leaves.
Shen Han constantly pays attention to the changes in his surroundings.
The Land of the Far South is daunting for a reason, it must have its peculiarities.
It’s said there are very few animals inside.
Thus, the way to determine if one has entered the Land of the Far South is by observing the surrounding plants.
Though the Land of the Far South is named for its location,
it specifically refers to the poisonous region south of Yexuan Country.
This Land of the Far South stretches across the area and doesn’t seem very long north to south.
But width-wise, it stretches from Great Wei to Yan Country.
It can be described as an extremely vast and dangerous place.
Shen Han continues south, with hardly any human presence visible.
Even animals along the way start to dwindle.
With sword in hand, he even needs to carve a path himself.
Along the road, the vegetation grows denser and denser.
In this dense forest, even feces become rare.
Even when there are some birds, they seem to avoid certain areas.
Shen Han starts to become vigilant, the Delayed Array beside him is already activated.
His eyes constantly watch, paying attention to changes in the plants beside him.
Finally, on the second day, Shen Han discovers plants ahead that he has never seen before.
Perhaps, venturing further in, lies that so-called Land of the Far South.
Carefully moving forward, his eyes fixed on these novel plants.
Focusing intently, for a moment, a string of small white characters appears before him, [Plants with slight toxicity].
The entries are written clearly, directly noting the toxicity for him.
Shen Han ponders, considering whether he should extract these white entries.
He looks up at the many plants beside him.
These plants grow in clusters, with each one topped by a white entry [Plants with slight toxicity]...
Frowning, if he were to extract all of these entries,
it’s likely half a month would have already passed...
After a moment’s hesitation, Shen Han activates the "Unceasing Skill," and begins to advance slowly.
The plants beside him, upon trembling, seem to shed some pollen-like substance.
The poison itself lies within this pollen.
Shen Han can feel his body resisting the poison with the "Unceasing Skill."
This level of toxicity, he can still withstand.
Proceeding deeper in, soon, new plants appear.
Focusing his gaze, blue entries appear, [Plants harboring toxicity].
No longer just mildly toxic...
The entries have turned blue...
Yet there are still many such plants around him.
Shen Han can only keep operating the "Unceasing Skill," and in thought, he creates a Law Space around himself using the Power of Laws.
Sadly, poison seems to be a basic element within the foundational laws.
Retracting the Power of Laws, Shen Han continues onward.
Fortunately, the "Unceasing Skill" he practices can still resist.
On his body, the sensation of needles from the toxins persisting after invading adds to the sense of prickling pain.
He presses forward, deeper into the forest.
Here, certain medicinal herbs mentioned in ancient texts start to appear.
Shen Han doesn’t waste any and tries to harvest all he can.
Then he continues searching for Cloud Rong Grass.
According to the book, Cloud Rong Grass is quite fragile.
If it grows in an open space, a random breeze or heavy rain,
the entire plant might get flattened.
Before he could even harvest it, the Cloud Rong Grass would have already withered.
Sheltered from wind and rain, those are the places Cloud Rong Grass might appear.
Having thought this through, Shen Han continues to delve deeper.
Looking around, almost every plant carries toxicity...
The Land of the Far South, teeming with poisonous plants.
It’s truly not an exaggeration in the slightest.
Venturing further inside, some plants have noticeably emptier surroundings.
Even other toxic plants seem to avoid them.
Focusing intently, the plants bear small purple characters.
[Highly toxic plant]
The purple in the entry indicates just how terrifying this plant is.
Although the "Unceasing Skill" protects him, he must not be too reckless.
If the toxicity surpasses a certain threshold, his body might not endure it either.
With a grave mindset, he extracts the [Highly toxic] entries.
Fortunately, there are not many such plants with purple highly toxic entries; to be safe, whenever possible, Shen Han extracts them.
Walking like this takes several two-hour periods, and the sky darkens slightly.
Moreover, his body now feels increasingly weary.
Ever since entering the Land of the Far South, his body has constantly felt like it’s being bitten by ants.
Shen Han is very aware this is because the "Unceasing Skill" is continually healing his body.
During the recovery, his body is also constantly being pestered by the toxins.
This is why there is the constant sensation of being bitten by ants.
As twilight falls, Shen Han hurries to find a place, cuts down some wood, and constructs a temporary small shack.
Of all the surrounding plants, he extracts the toxic entries one by one.
In such perilous land, how could others dare to venture here?
A fallen Immortal in an Immortal Realm also had their reasons.
Judging by the sky, it’s likely past 7:00 PM.
The discomfort of the body’s restoration through the "Unceasing Skill" has already begun to manifest, and he feels terribly exhausted.
Shen Han slightly seals the small shack.
Then he lets go of his restraints and falls asleep entirely.
Upon waking, he doesn’t know how much time has passed.
He retrieves some food from his Storage Ring and eats it.
He pushes open the makeshift door of the small shack.
Not far away, a ring of vines is rapidly growing, heading towards his shack.
It seems he’s being considered as prey, so he throws out a [Decaying] entry.
In an instant, the vines appear somewhat withered.
After resting for a night, Shen Han feels slightly better.
But he is also aware that he must act quickly.
Being immersed in the toxin-laden dense forest, even with the "Unceasing Skill," he cannot endure for long.
He will increasingly feel drowsy.
This happens even after he has extracted and cleared all the purple highly toxic entries.
With renewed spirit, he continues to search further in.
Moving forward again, Shen Han increasingly senses something strange.
The once densely growing plants are now becoming sparse. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Shen Han cautiously advances.
Not far ahead, a large tree comes into view.
This tree stands over forty feet tall, its trunk broad and expansive.
But beneath its shade, there isn’t much grass to be found.
Focusing carefully, the orange entries are quite glaring...
