Chapter 62: Reaping the Soul Calming Fruit!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Flying Lizard that had lost consciousness had zero intelligence. Even if it had combat instincts, it would not consider what soul skill to use.
At this moment, the thought process of its soul skill was very simple: Defeat this little bug quickly.
The Flying Lizard, which was in a temporarily stunned state, could not avoid the Raging Flame Strike.
!!The scorching flames accompanied by powerful force struck its head.
Its head felt dizzy and the scorching flames made it unable to maintain its flying posture. Its body swayed.
But it did not stop there.
Instead, its eyes suddenly landed on Wang Che.
He was stunned.
Something was wrong. This guy had lost consciousness. The one attacking it was the green caterpillar. It should only be thinking about the green caterpillar.
Why was it looking at him?
Unless it was conscious?
“No, its consciousness might have awakened a little… It shouldn’t be… Could it be this place…”
Wang Che immediately looked around.
As expected, he saw a small, sparkling fruit tree in the distance.
On the fruit tree, there were four to five crystalline fruits that looked like peeled litchi.
“That’s… the Heavenly Net Incense… no wonder…”
Wang Che was slightly stunned.
The Heavenly Net Incense was also called the Soul Calming Fruit, a rare fruit. When resting in the surroundings, it could restore one’s mental strength and had the effect of calming the mind.
It was also a main ingredient that could be made into a mental potion on the market.
If one ate it directly, it could increase the mental strength to a certain extent, but the side effects were not small.
The location of production was harsh, and there were no records of it.
“So this Flying Lizard… resides here because of these two Heavenly Net Incense… They provide a faint help for its already chaotic soul?”
In fact, based on Wang Che’s senses, the energy here was not as simple as Adjutant Li had described.
It was just that its soul power was violent.
Instead, it was mixed with a rather special energy.
The space here was unstable. Wang Che suspected that the space at the top of the Floating Forest was unstable.
As a result, apart from soul power, this place was also mixed with a special energy.
This special energy caused the soul power here to be violent and cause immense damage to the soul beasts inside.
Staying here for a long time was naturally very dangerous.
Adjutant Li had said that they only had a day to explore.
After a day, it would have an obvious effect on students and soul pets.
Through the public channel, Wang Che saw that at least ten students had left.
The reason was unknown.
“The Heavenly Net Incense can grow here… probably because countless humans died… to nourish this thing.”
Wang Che immediately looked at the Flying Lizard.
“Ssss!”
The green caterpillar also felt that something was wrong and hurriedly hissed at the Flying Lizard.
It seemed to be saying: Come here! Come and hit me!
However, the Flying Lizard reacted quickly. It ignored the green caterpillar and charged at Wang Che.
The green caterpillar subconsciously unleashed its Spit Thread soul skill at the Flying Lizard’s wings.
This made Wang Che’s eyes light up. This child had already been slowly trained to have combat talent.
Unfortunately, with the green caterpillar’s Spit Thread soul skill, the Flying Lizard’s thick wings could not block too many attacks.
It only paused for a moment before directly flying towards Wang Che.
When Wang Che saw this, he did not panic. Like a lotus flower blooming in his mouth, a sutra that sounded like the ancient bell slowly came out of his mouth.
It was the Afterlife Sutra from before.
The ancient sutra sound was like a great bell. The Flying Lizard’s body shook and the color of its eyes froze.
Its body stopped in the air…
Wang Che chanted as he gestured at the green caterpillar.
He pointed at the Heavenly Net Incense on the other side and drew two fingers.
The green caterpillar understood what he meant. It spat out silk continuously and landed beside Wang Che. It spat out silk and used it to sweep away the two Heavenly Net Incense.
Immediately after, the green caterpillar used its Spit Thread soul skill to stabilize a piece of floating soil on the left.
Wang Che slowly calculated the time. When he was almost done chanting the sutra, he carried the green caterpillar and flew away.
Flying Lizard: “…”
After a while, its eyes gradually regained color as it let out an angry roar!
Wang Che was not in the mood to stay here. This Flying Lizard was too powerful.
To him, as long as he could safely obtain the treasures here and leave, it would be the best victory.
The green caterpillar’s Raging Flame Strike weakened its combat strength to a certain extent.
Therefore, with the help of the sutra, it could only temporarily suppress the latter for a while.
However, it was impossible to restore the Flying Lizard’s consciousness.
Its body had absorbed too much soul power from this place, and its soul had almost been corroded.
He only took two Soul Calming Fruits because it was enough.
There was no need to pluck them all.
Fruit trees with harsh requirements like this usually could not be plucked completely.
After plucking it, it might wither very easily. At that time, it would be even harder to grow another fruit tree like this.
“The green caterpillar’s strength is still far inferior to this Flying Lizard… but after fighting, it was not injured and could still make the Flying Lizard take a hit from the Raging Flame Strike. This is another type of victory.”
“If we really fight head-on, removing the mechanical meteorite armor will take an hour. There’s a possibility of defeating it, but we have to make sure nothing goes wrong during the entire process.”
That was not necessary.
As the fluctuation of the battle was too great, it was easy to attract others.
It would not be good if someone else benefited from it.
“With these two Soul Calming Fruits… I can find some more ordinary medicinal herbs and cooperate with the medicinal properties of the previous jumping grass… Perhaps, I can refine a simple Marrow Cleansing Paste… If I apply it to the green caterpillar internally, other than increasing its speed, the other attributes can also increase to a certain extent… It can also increase its intelligence to a certain extent…”
“I can use the remaining Soul Calming Fruit to cultivate…”
In this battle, he developed a clear understanding of the green caterpillar’s current strength.
“The enhancement of the soul really has an obvious effect…”
Wang Che sighed. If he had not improved his perception, he might not have been able to quickly see through the Flying Lizard’s attacks.
Basically, as long as it was hit, the green caterpillar would be gone.
Next, Wang Che quickly shifted locations and used the same method to ask about several special locations through the Soul Tempering Tree.
At the same time, they avoided the relatively powerful soul beasts.
He found many medicinal herbs and two special rocks.
His greatest gain was a spirit stone the size of a quail egg in a small mound.
In the end, he found a rather ancient soul device.
It was a fruitful trip.
At this moment, the sky had already lit up. There were less than two to three hours before the exploration.
Wang Che found a safe place and stretched.
He planned to deal with the spoils of war.
He suddenly thought of something and looked at the communication device.
There were many recorded messages on it.
“Brothers, I encountered a ferocious Poison Leaf Flower. I only barely found three Heart Rending Flowers. I’ll retreat first. Goodbye, see you at the Aviation Cup!”
“I also retreated. It’s too f*cking dangerous… In this stupid place, I randomly jumped to a floating piece of land and actually encountered a Shadow Blade Mantis with at least 500 years of cultivation. Do you dare to believe me? F*ck off…”
“Hehe, I found a graveyard. I casually dug and found a gem… Eh… I also dug out an itchy rat that was sleeping… The smart me quickly pressed the alarm…”
“I’ve already found ten Heart Rending Flowers. I’m exhausted… I’m definitely going to be first this time, right?”
“The Heart Rending Ant is too difficult to deal with… I only found three stalks… I didn’t get anything else… There were several dangerous situations…”
“It’s getting harder and harder to go higher. I wonder what’s at the top of the Floating Forest…”
“No one seems to have found anything good…”
…
Wang Che glanced at it. Most of the rewards were not good.
This place was indeed too dangerous.
A small portion of them still had some gains.
Of course, what these fellows said might not be true.
However…
Hmm… Wang Che looked at the pile of good things beside him…
He thought about it and found it interesting.
Therefore, Wang Che decided to tell the truth and spoke for the first time.
“How tragic. I was almost killed by a Flying Lizard that was more than 400 years old… Now, I only dare to quietly find a safe place to wait for the time to end.”
“I’ve come for nothing.”
These simple words immediately made the eyes of the remaining contestants light up…
