"New magic plants always grow in unexpected places, huh," I muttered after seeing what Aiko saw.
In the fast-flowing river, she found an underground river that was overgrown with new magical plants and matched the location point detected by Alyssa's magic circle formation.
Seeing some of the new magical plants growing around the watery area, I now understand why they're hard to spot with the naked eye. It's because their growth areas are hidden or covered.
Earl Timoti, who had conducted a military expedition that explored this dense forest in winter, would certainly not have found any magical plants hidden in the ice or in the cold, rushing river.
Thanks to detailed explorations on military expeditions like this, we have discovered several species of wild animals that have mutated into wild monsters and several new magical plants that Earl Timoti did not discover.
