Wildflowers bloom in profusion, their colors vibrant, and a gentle breeze carries their delicate fragrance.
During the hike, Izuki Karuta also discovered a small temple halfway up the mountain, nestled beside a waterfall, which was quite a unique sight.
The only odd thing was that there weren't many tourists climbing the mountain here, in fact, there were very few, almost just their group.
Of course, it could also be because it's a weekday.
Mingmei and Shirley didn't need to carry luggage, so they walked easily.
Both Izuki Karuta and Vermouth had practiced, and they carried their luggage without slowing down at all.
Half an hour later, the group reached the top of the mountain.
At the top of the mountain, there are several conspicuous, sturdy cherry blossom trees. Judging from their lush trunks and canopies that are over ten meters high, they must be at least several decades old.
A mountain breeze blows, and countless cherry blossoms fall, fluttering and swirling in the air.
Hanging in Akemi and Sherry's hair, they became eye-catching accessories.
Sydney had only ever seen such beautiful scenery in photos and videos.
Now that he was actually there, a smile involuntarily appeared on Xiao 30's face.
Click——!
The shutter clicked, and Izuki Karuta captured Sherry's beautiful moment amidst the rain of flowers.
Sherry blushed slightly and gave her a playful glare.
By this time, Vermouth had taken out a picnic mat from her backpack, as well as food she had bought at a shop at the foot of the mountain.
There is sushi, fruit, low-alcohol sake, and snacks to accompany the drinks.
After setting everything up, Vermouth tactfully took a bento box and went to eat it.
Izuki Karuta sat on a picnic mat with Akemi and Sherry.
Enjoying cherry blossoms while eating and drinking, and having a little wine, is very pleasant.
However, the temperature at the summit is several degrees lower than at the foot of the mountain.
Akemi and Sherry both instinctively sat close together.
Izuki Karuta and Akemi sat close together, while Sherry seemed to be embraced by the two of them.
After eating and drinking their fill, Shirley and Akemi went to take pictures nearby.
The mountaintop offers a wide view, and with the clear weather, it's the perfect time to take great photos.
Perhaps it was because he had drunk some alcohol, and the effects were kicking in.
Both Akemi and Sherry have a low alcohol tolerance.
In addition, they both felt sleepy after lunch, and soon they both wanted to go to sleep.
Izuki Karuta, however, knew of a good place to go.
"Vermouth, you stay here and guard the luggage."
"I'll take them for a walk around the neighborhood."
Izuki Karuta found Vermouth, who was standing on the other side of the tree trunk.
Vermouth nodded obediently, her eyes lowered in meekness.
This scene made Shirley frown involuntarily.
Vermouth is being a little too well-behaved today.
While she was part of the organization, Vermouth was known for her tendency to cause trouble.
Could it be that... Izuki Karuta has already subdued Vermouth?
But Shirley thought it was unlikely.
quickly,
Izuki Karuta led Akemi and Sherry to a huge rock.
This mountain, over 800 meters high, is quite enormous.
The area at the summit is also quite considerable.
However, Izuki Karuta noticed that rocky areas accounted for two-thirds of the area on the mountain.
This is a rudimentary smokescreen.
With a sweep of his divine sense, Izuki Shizuta knew that there was another world behind the boulder.
In fact, you could tell something was wrong with this mountain just by looking at it.
Because there is a waterfall on one side of the mountain, but no lake is visible on the summit.
"Where are we going?"
"It's so cold around here."
"Why don't we go back to the cherry tree area?"
Mingmei felt somewhat uncomfortable in this place.
Izuki Karuta held Akemi's hand in one hand and Sherry's hand in the other:
"Don't be afraid, I'll take you to a good place."
"Just close your eyes and follow me."
Upon hearing this, both Akemi and Sherry obediently closed their eyes.
Following the route scanned by his divine sense, Izuki Karuta crashed head-on into the boulder.
Besides the illusion, something else was added to the surface of the boulder.
Of course, anyone who gets close to the boulder will unconsciously feel uncomfortable and will leave on their own.
However, this kind of thing has no effect on Izuki Shigeta, whose mental strength has reached 200.
Even the boulder could not stop Izuki Karita, and the three of them passed through it smoothly. A ripple appeared on the surface, but it quickly calmed down.
Behind the giant rock lies a beautiful, idyllic landscape.
Izuki Karuta made Akemi and Sherry open their eyes.
Before me lies a lake, surrounded by lush grass, and even more beautiful cherry blossom trees bloom around it.
The few cherry blossom trees outside are already quite a sight.
Then the cherry blossoms falling from the sky with the mountain wind here can be described as an absolute paradise.
The emerald green lake reflects the blue sky, and cherry blossom petals swirling and falling, creating a scene reminiscent of a fairyland.
However, even the most beautiful scenery loses much of its appeal when faced with sleepy Akemi and Sherry.
The two sisters lay on the grass under the cherry blossom tree, taking a nap together.
The temperature here is much warmer than outside.
Izuki Karita wasn't worried that they would catch a cold.
He then walked to the edge of the lake, sat down cross-legged, and
Begin to absorb the essence of heaven and earth here.
No one knows who set up the formation, or how many years it has been in place.
This place has accumulated a great deal of the essence of heaven and earth, indirectly affecting the surrounding environment.
No matter how the outside world changes, it's always spring-like here.
Izuki Karuta wouldn't miss this great opportunity.
Twenty minutes later, the essence of heaven and earth accumulated in the vicinity over the years was completely absorbed by Izuki Qingtian.
I felt the weight of it.
This time, the essence of heaven and earth absorbed was much greater than before.
If converted to numerical values
Breaking through from the 6th level to the 7th level requires 100 units of Heaven and Earth Essence;
To break through from level 7 to level 8, 500 units of Heaven and Earth Essence are required.
This absorption alone contained 150 units of heaven and earth essence.
It can be said to be a great harvest!
"Going out more is definitely a good thing!"
Izuki Karuta sighed once again.
Unexpectedly, the cherry blossom viewing spot that Akemi randomly chose brought such a wonderful gift.
However, this generous gift is not free.
There are even considerable risks involved.
The lake, which was originally as smooth as a mirror, suddenly began to bubble.
