嗚嗚！
木製圍牆上的守衛者吹響號角，城牆外面的虛空中閃亮出一陣光芒湧動，那是一個巨大的法術蛋罩，也是高級術士建立起來的保護機制，類式於傅小蛙曾經接觸過的寶塔，只不過這個法術罩更龐大，保護起空間通道不會有魔物傳輸回去。
「晶壁開啟，我們動身！」熟知這裡流程的孫文超道。
「好，收早工，還趕得上晚餐時間烤雞翅！」張強盛搓搓手道。
眾多的隊伍開始出發，今天陽光明媚，是個歷練的好天氣。
有幾個院生小隊，還隨行著院師帶領，所朝的方向是深入金雞山的北方。薛凌香所跟隨的院士小組，也是那個方向，這是一個讓人羨慕的方向，只不過充滿危險，讓很多小組望而卻步。大多數的人還是選擇西方，南方這些比較簡單一點的區域。
魔物，其實在大息王朝非常稀有，像是在白雲山這樣異寶存在的地方，還有可能催生一點。要知道，這是一個充滿天地之氣的世界，不止是人類可以領悟，就連花花草草都可以在吸收成為靈藥。那麼動物在這樣天地之氣的浸下，經常採食山上生長的靈藥，身體也變得奇異，進化速度也比平時見到的動物快上數萬倍，變得更強壯也更危險。
金雞山的名字，並不是因為這裡的雞多，而是其主峰形如報曉的雄雞而得名。具說越往金雞山群峰的深處，天地之氣越是濃烈。裡面的危險與異寶也越多。
在這樣的自然環境，能收取的也就是靈藥。異獸皮骨，礦石。去海底遺跡這些地方，就能接觸到人工物品的痕跡。
眾多的小組走出要塞之後，便分散向四周而去，這些地方經過長時間的探索，資源依然豐富，異獸會不斷生長，靈藥也會不斷生長。地下礦藏也採之不盡。
一般到這裡來的小組，都是為這些東西，礦所含的天地之氣可以煉法寶，給術士的玩意提供動力，異獸身上的材料可以給術士製作各種東西，靈藥用來製丹。
金雞山，景色獨好。群山連綿不絕往遠處展去。像是初冬的季節，地上有一點溥雪，踩在上面咯滋作響。傅小蛙一直在皇城，好久沒回歸野外，感覺特別好。呼吸的空氣有些清冷，四周是台原。金雞山非常大。這麼多隊的小組分散開，基本上都不可能遇到。
孫文超等人自有熟悉的地方，他們來到山群邊緣就停落下來。
「再前面，就是金雞山區，非常危險。我們不進去，就在山區邊緣找尋一些礦石靈藥。傅小蛙這裡很安全，一般的異獸都不是很強，你做為一個院生，應該完全能夠應付，你在四周留意一下，這裡有很多雪雞，烤雞的上選品種！」
「哦！」傅小蛙點點頭，接受安排。
「你就在這一帶，記得不要亂跑太遠，我們會分散去收集，最後在這裡集中，你要是跑遠了，我們可是找不著你！」孫文超交待道。
張強盛咧嘴笑道：「找不著就找不著憋，讓他在這裡喂狼好了！」
「知道了，你們去！」
李清風也強加交待道：「千萬記得，不可跑太遠，這裡非常安全，沒有異獸，就算偶爾有一兩隻，也是初級獸，連院徒都可以解決！」
「別叨了，你們快去採集，一路來我也看到些人參靈芝什麼的，這裡應該不少！」
幾個人也只是笑笑，在這個地方人參靈芝就跟草一樣，沒什麼奇稀的，這傢伙還當成寶。不過他們也不打算說，讓他有些事情做做就好。
「重要的是雪雞，千萬可別忘了，還有萬一見到異獸不要怕，長得很嚇人，其實就是個瓜菜，三兩下就宰掉了！」
「噢噢，好好！」
在這些人交待安妥之後，就分散離去，因為採集不是冒險，分散而行收穫更多。同時他們也知道附近這一帶能遇見的異獸，都是在單人可以解決的範圍，相當來說很安全。
在孫文超等人離開之後，傅小蛙輕鬆下來，長吐出一口氣。望望四周，山巒邊緣，景色秀麗，讓人心曠神怡。
他摸摸旁邊的樹幹，真實感傳來，入手粗糙，還有一種樟木的香味。
這著著實實的是來到十數萬里之外，讓人想想就覺得很興奮，這算是他出過最遠的一次遠門。
傅小蛙漫步在這十數萬里之外的地方，感受著異域風情，這裡的植物跟樹種就已經跟大息王朝的不一樣，像一些雜草類的植物，在這裡長得卻比樹高。
正如同孫文超等人所說那樣，這裡的雪雞果然暴多，一身雪白，扭動著肥屁股在林子裡奔跑尋食。
咯咯咯咯！！！
傅小蛙追趕著一隻重達十數斤的大雪雞，大雪雞沒命地跑著，還沒三兩下，就被傅小蛙抓住。傅小蛙滿意地將雪雞裝進百寶囊，裡面裝的冰塊，可以保鮮很久。
（拖欠半章，一下子補上！）
