Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out?-Chapter 1622: Dragged Into Another Adventure

-----

After finishing eating their lunch, Aquarina and her friends had a lot of free time to do whatever they wanted. With the entire Ritual finally done, there wasn't much they could do other than explore the vast jungles within the Crater Oasis.

Apparently the place formed a jungle not only because of the water but also due to the Crater itself, the temperatures were much lower, and the shade created by the cliffs, alongside the water and more humid temperatures created a rich soil that didn't constantly burn below the strong sun above the skies.

Aquarina and her friends learned most of this by talking with Agua and her mother, whose name was Aguarapida, something they discovered only recently when someone came looking for her.

"Chief Aguarapida, we'll need some of your assistance giving the finishing touches to the formation…" The shamans walked to her side. "The structure itself is fine, but we thought we could perfect it a bit more to please the Spirit."

"I see, fair enough," the chief nodded. "Then let's go. Agua, you and your friends are free to wander around and explore, but don't walk into the dangerous nests of monsters, alright?"

"Okay mother," Agua nodded obediently, as she saw her mother leave. "Well, I'll wash the dishes for now."

She pointed her slender hands at the table and then conjured a spell.

"{Aqua Bubble}"

FLUOSH!

A large bubble of water materialized, where all the dishes went to, as they floated, Agua moved her hands and the water began shaking around, cleaning the dishes.

"I'll also use this one."

She decided to conjure yet another spell.

"{Water Filter}"

The water trembled as it began filtering all the food bits from the dishes, the oil and everything else, leaving them much cleaner than before.

The filtered things were then moved to another bubble.

"Now we give it back to the soil, it'll appreciate it."

"{Earth Digging}"

She opened a hole in the soil using another Earth Attribute Spell this time, her tribe were still adept at Earth Magic up to around Tier 5, although the majority just learned at most, up to Tier 3.

Agua and her mother were the exception as they learned a lot of Water and Earth Spells in unison, though Agua could only conjure up to Tier 3, and due to the larger quantity of Water Attribute Runes in her Magic Circle, her Water Magic was much stronger, so she often only used that.

After opening the hole she placed the waste there and covered it with dirt again, although they were waste and garbage to people, they were all organic matter that the soil would eat away and gain nutrients from.

"And done…" She said. "Alright, let's move the dishes inside the house and… Um, where do you want to go today?"

"Anywhere is fine for me," Pyuku shrugged, as he ate a green colored fruit usually harvested from cactuses.

"We're still thinking about it…" Silvia said. "Hmm, but anywhere? Oh, maybe we could go enjoy the oasis and just swim?"

"That sounds great with this heat…" Justicio said. "But I bet someone would disagree."

They glared at Aquarina.

"A-Ah? Well, I kind of wanted to explore the deeper parts of the jungle, see what we could find?" Wondered Aquarina. "Like ingredients for potions, elixirs, and food? Maybe rare ores as well. Do you know of such things, Agua?"

"Oh, of course," Agua nodded cutely, coming back from her house all done. "Actually, I wanted to show everyone a small forest area where Spirit Fruit Trees grow. Mom said it was fine if I brought you there to eat some Spirit Fruits."

"Spirit Fruits? What's the difference from regular fruits?" Justicio wondered.

"Are you really asking that?" Wondered Silvia, crossing her arms. "Well duh! It's obvious that the difference is that… That they're spirit fruits! And they got… spirit power inside. Right?"

"Maybe, but it's not so simple," Agua said. "These trees are made out of primarily spirit crystals mixed together, it is also known as a Sacred Forest not many are allowed to enter but after what everyone did, you gained the right to enter. These fruits can strengthen your Spirit Powers, yes, and also make the bond between you and your spirits stronger, essentially making them stronger as well. If you let them eat some of the fruit, they could even awaken new Abilities or Magic." freeweɓnøvel.com

"T-That's better than I imagined!" Justicio gasped. "A-Are you sure we are allowed to eat them? I would guess they're super expensive…"

"They're indeed very valuable, but at this time of the year they're almost ripe, usually mother is the one that distributes them. She was going to give everyone one fruit, so we might as well go pick it ourselves," Agua smiled. "Shall we go?"

"Sure!" Aquarina nodded. "Sounds like a nice little adventure. Are there monsters along the way?"

"There she goes again…" Silvia sighed.

"Always asking for monsters…" Justicio facepalmed.

"That's how she is, haha…" Pyuku only giggled along.

"Aw come on guys, I haven't fought in like a day, so I want some action, or I'll get weak," Aquarina said.

She also wanted to earn more EXP; after saying she'll take another week before going to the inheritance, she'll be able to hunt a lot of monsters in seven more days.

So Aquarina planned to get to max level somehow!

"Strong monsters you say…" Agua said. "Well yeah, I mean the entire jungle is full of big monsters everywhere. From weak to mildly strong, to very powerful. It's just that we live in harmony with nature, and with the protection of the Oasis Spirit, we are usually not attacked. And well, the entire tribe is pretty strong… However there are some monsters that are strong. Large Nests of Giant Fire Ants for example, they're expanding a bit too much lately, and they burn plants, so they aren't really good… My mother said they're an invasive species that came like ten years ago from the desert…"

"Ants?! And they're giants? So that's a lot of EXP! Nice! Let's go hunt them after the fruit!" Aquarina said happily.

"I thought we would chill out today!" Silvia complained.

"Come on Aquarina…" Justicio complained.

"Don't be lazy! You have to exercise and work every day!" Aquarina said. "Let's go already!"

She forcefully dragged her friends along…
