Chapter 370 - Separation
Chapter 370 Separation
Alza’s previous advancement had failed because of a lack of knowledge. He had personally suffered a loss in this aspect and deeply understood the importance of knowledge to Wizards. Because of this… Although his pursuit of knowledge was not as persistent as Heath’s, he was still very concerned about knowledge.
It was 2 to 1. Seeing that Heath and Alza had said so, Jackman naturally did not say anything. After all, the harvest from this trip was already rich enough for him. It was not too important whether he wanted the remaining knowledge books or not.
“Alright, alright, let’s do it according to your wishes. Then, can we go to the hall outside now? There are many treasures waiting for us there. I can’t wait.”
Immediately, Heath kept all the books in the library and slowly put them into a few spatial pockets. He brought these books back first and then copied a copy for Alza and Jackman. Since everyone came together, then they naturally had a share of these too.
Then, Heath and the others returned to the hall. The books had already been collected. Next, it was time to divide up the resources outside.
Heath and the others counted and found that there were about 80 to 90 million Magic Stones inside. Each of them could get about 30 million Magic Stones, which was 3,000 high-level Magic Stones.
Jackman, who had received the Magic Stones, was grinning from ear to ear.
“Hahaha, 3,000 high-level Magic Stones! 3,000 high-level Magic Stones! This is a huge profit!”
Although Jackman was a pureblood, 3,000 high-level Magic Stones was definitely not a small number for him and his family. Including the cultivation resources Jackman could get from his family every year, it was only a few million Magic Stones.
Alza was also very happy. “How is it? Am I right? I didn’t lie to you, did I? This trip was not in vain, right?”
Seeing their happy look, Heath was a little speechless. After all, strictly speaking, they had dug up the ancestral grave of Alza’s family. He had never seen anyone so happy to bring outsiders to dig up their own ancestral grave.
Wizards were like that. Every Wizard was pragmatic. In the eyes of Wizards, there was only absolute benefit, and all other etiquette and kinship were worthless.
The harvest was still continuing.
Magic Stones were the most eye-catching harvest, but it was only one of them. After that, there were mountains of materials, such as the Eyeless Fruit, the Green Root Grass, and the Starry Flower… These were all rare resources that were often used on the path of cultivation for Wizards. Each of them could easily be sold for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Magic Stones. All of them added up would only be worth more than the Magic Stones here.
Similarly, these resources were divided into three portions by Heath and the others, one for each of them. The magic scrolls and Wizard tools that followed were also the same.
The ruins left behind by an intermediate-level Wizard contained unimaginable resources. There were dozens to hundreds of Wizard tools, ranging from Apprentice to intermediate-level Wizard, among them, the most valuable was undoubtedly a rule-type magic staff. If this Wizard tool were to be sold on the market, it would be worth at least tens of millions of Magic Stones, and this Wizard tool would naturally go into Heath’s pocket.
After distributing the Wizard tools, there were no more resources left in the hall. Some scattered Magic Stones might be found in the other magic wall lamps around, but everyone felt that there was no need for that. After all, their harvest this time was already abundant enough.
Then, they did not delay any further. They followed the route they came from and quickly left the ruins.
Returning to the land, Alza took a deep breath and said happily, “Hahaha, we’re back, we made it!”
At this moment, his face was no longer as sad as when he had entered. His face was ruddy and full of red light. He looked like a radiant person, completely different from when he had just entered.
But this was also normal. After all, they had just found so many resources and treasures in the underground. Even if they had only taken a third of them… Alza had tens of thousands of high-level Magic Stones.
Such a huge amount of resources was more than enough for him to advance to an intermediate-level Wizard in the future. As long as he advanced to an intermediate-level Wizard, his vitality would be restored, and his life force would be strengthened again.
After a pause, he gratefully bowed to Heath. “Wizard Heath, thank you for this trip. If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t have been able to go so smoothly.”
Heath said nonchalantly, “You’re welcome. The map that led us here was provided by you.”
Alza shook his head. “No, I will take this as you doing me a favor. The map doesn’t mean anything. If it wasn’t for your help, we might still be at a loss on the island.”
Pausing for a moment, he bowed deeply to Heath. “I, Alza, will never forget your help.”
Heath replied, “You are too kind.”
The exploration of the ruins came to an end, and everyone was about to return. However, Heath did not follow Alza and the others back mainly because of the resources on the island.
There were still a large number of resources on the island that he had never extracted before. If all of these resources were extracted, it would definitely greatly strengthen Heath’s strength. Therefore, Heath was not prepared to give them up.
Thus, when Jackman and the others suggested to go back, Heath was prepared to stay for a few more days, saying that he needed to gather some materials. After all, he had his own Wizard ship. On the way here, he had also recorded the direction and coordinates of this place clearly. When the time came, he could slowly return.
Jackman and the others did not force him. After learning that Heath was going to collect on the island, they were more concerned.
Jackman said, “Then you have to be careful, Brother Heath. After all, Alza said that there are advanced-level demonized creatures on this island. It’s not a good idea to anger them.”
Alza also persuaded, “Yes, Wizard Heath. If it’s not a particularly important material, then I suggest that you don’t stay on this island.”
Heath said, “Don’t worry, I know what to do.”
Seeing that Heath was determined, Jackman and Alza did not force him. They only reminded him to be careful and left on the Wizard ship in a hurry. After all, Jackman was fine… but Alza was already at the end of time. His life could be in danger at any time. He had to advance to an intermediate Wizard as soon as possible. There was no time to waste here.
A few days later, in the southeast of Prester Island.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Two sharp sounds of rushing wind could be heard on the island. The trees in the forest shook a bit, and two figures passed through the treetops.
In front of them was a Flying Snake. Its trunk was no different from an ordinary snake. It was slender and long, but it had a pair of flat wings on both sides of its belly. When it opened, it looked like a triangular curtain. With the help of this curtain, the long snake could easily glide through the forest.
This was a Flying Snake, a snake-type demonized creature that lived in the forest. It was a non-intelligent species, and its strength was about the level of an intermediate-level Wizard. Even in the Prester Island area, it was a very high-level demonized creature. It was second only to the overlords here.
However, at this moment, the Flying Snake’s condition did not seem very good. Most of the scales on its body were broken, and there were a few long gashes on its body. Fresh blood was gushing out.
And the person who caused all of this was clearly the enemy that was chasing after the Flying Snake.
Clang! The clear sound of a sword rang out.
Heath quickly passed through the tree trunks and chased after the Flying Snake. He waved the sword in his hand and threw out sword qi one after another.
This chase did not last for long. Heath quickly closed the distance between the two sides to about a hundred meters. At the same time, he immediately used his signature spell, (Shadow).
Heath’s body instantly lost its color. At the same time, a blurry black shadow appeared on the body of the Flying Snake. The black shadow quickly covered its color and replaced Heath behind it. In that instant… Heath appeared beside the Flying Snake.
The Red Demon greatsword in his hand was raised long ago. Heath held Red Demon with both hands and slashed down forcefully.
Ka — Pu! Two short syllables rang out.
The Flying Snake’s battered scales were already unable to bear the weight. The moment Heath’s greatsword slashed down, they all collapsed. Heath’s greatsword continued to slash downwards without losing its momentum. It sliced through the Flying Snake’s scales in one go and cut off its entire head.
The body of the Flying Snake that had lost its head was like a headless fly. It swayed in the air for a moment before crashing heavily to the ground.
Boom! A loud sound was heard.
The huge body that was dozens of meters long fell heavily to the ground, raising a large amount of dust.
At the same time, the tip of Heath’s feet touched the tree trunk, and his body flashed and quickly arrived in front of the huge body of the Flying Snake.
Looking at the huge object on the ground, Heath grinned and said, “I’ve got it!”
The Flying Snake was a very high-level demonized creature. It had the name because it had wings and could fly. This kind of demonized creature was extremely brutal and difficult to deal with… Heath had fought it for a long time before he finally managed to severely injure it. After that, he chased it for a few hours before he finally managed to take it down.
Squatting down, Heath said without hesitation, ‘Extract.’
[Beep, extraction successful. Spiritual Power +0.8]
[Beep, extraction successful. Strength +0.6]
[Beep, extraction successful. Agility +0.6)
(Beep, extraction successful…]
A series of notifications from the system announced that Heath’s Hunt had been a
success.
After extracting the attributes, Heath then cut open the corpse of the Flying Snake and took out a large snake gallbladder. This was the most valuable part of the body of the Flying Snake. One gallbladder could be sold for dozens of high-level Magic Stones. That was hundreds of thousands of Magic Stones.
Then he took away a pair of poisonous teeth and two eyeballs of the Flying Snake. These were the materials on the body of the Flying Snake, and the market price was no less than the price of the snake gallbladder.
After taking these things away, Heath did not continue to harvest the remaining large body and scales. These things could actually be sold for money. After all, it was an intermediate-level Wizard demonized creature. Even if they were sold to the Wizard’s restaurant to be cooked into food, they could definitely be sold at a high price.
However, this trip had already yielded a lot. The spatial pockets that Heath had brought with him were already filled to the brim. If he wanted to take away the corpse of this giant snake, he would need to empty several spatial pockets. One had to know that the price of the items in those spatial pockets was higher than the price of this pile of snake meat.
“Forget it, forget it. I can’t earn all the Magic Stones. I’ll just treat this as a return to nature.”
Heath shook his head in an open-minded manner. He did not think about this snake anymore.
Immediately, he opened the system interface and looked at the data. After taking a look, a smile appeared on his face once again.
(Spiritual Power 536)
Before this trip, his spiritual power was only 510 points, even 520 points. But now it was 536 points, an increase of more than 20 points.
It must be known that the further one progressed in spiritual power training, the more difficult it was to advance. The amount of energy and time needed to invest were multiplied as one’s strength increased. It was truly unbelievable that Heath was able to raise his spiritual power by more than 20 points in just a dozen days.
Heath silently thanked the system in his heart, ‘The system is really great!’
To be able to raise his strength at such a rapid speed, it was naturally thanks to the system. In the past few days on Prester Island, he had not slacked off for a single day. Every day, he would either gather or hunt, and these collected resources and demonized creatures that he hunted would eventually become his strength, agility, vitality, spirit, and other attributes or knowledge.
Prester Island was really a rare treasure land for Heath. After all, most of the materials here did not exist in the outside world, and these could be extracted by the system. And it was because of this that his strength had been able to increase at such a rapid speed, he had even increased so much spiritual power in just a few days.
‘If only I could continue to explore.’
Thinking of this, Heath could not help but frown, and the joy on his face faded a lot.
Prester Island was only so small after all, and the resources it could accommodate were limited. After the days of gathering and hunting by Heath, the fresh materials and demonized creatures had basically been extracted by Heath. He had run around the entire island several times, and now he could no longer extract any new species. “Should I wait for those advanced-level demonized creatures?”
Currently, the only demonized creatures that Heath had yet to extract were the advanced-level Wizard-level demonized creatures that occupied the island. Since they were basically still asleep, and their nests were very well hidden… Even if Heath wanted to extract them, he could not find their location…
