Chapter 462: Chapter 360: Wood Core Fire

Seeing the man mistake him for a Seventh Stage Expert, Su Yu did not correct him but responded vaguely instead. The man turned his gaze towards the massive tree towering into the sky, remarking, "This Jianmu Tree is probably as old as this world itself."

Murmuring to himself briefly, the man turned and entered one of the holes at the base of the tree, soon disappearing from sight.

Once the man was out of sight, Ada could hardly contain its excitement, whispering, "So this is the legendary ’Jianmu Tree’ that can grow up to the heavens. From what that guy said, such an old ’Jianmu Tree’ must contain ’Wood Core Fire’. Let’s try our luck too, hoping we won’t be beaten to it by others."

As it spoke, it sniffed around and pointed to another tree hole, adding, "We’ll go there. Although that guy’s Category 5 Lifeforms are more evolved than me, his sense of smell might not be better than mine."

Following Ada’s guidance, Su Yu, with Xiao Xiao, entered another hole. Originally, these holes were home to the "Tree Spirit Beasts". These beasts sustained on the Jianmu Tree. After countless years, the tree was practically hollowed out, thus resulting in numerous tree holes.

At the moment, the thousands of "Tree Spirit Beasts" were scattered, and the tree hole became empty.

"Ada, what is Wood Core Fire?"

"Wood Core Fire is a good stuff. It has ten attributes. A unique type of flame is born in ancient trees over ten thousand years old. This flame can not only be used for refining the body, but can also feed Primordial Beasts of the same attribute. If you can find a bit of Thunder Attribute Wood Core Fire, your current Primordial Beast might evolve into a Saint Thunder Beast again."

Ada’s words gave Su Yu pause. He almost forgot about his Primordial Beast, "Thunder", because his lightning power was already extremely powerful now, and the lightning power that this Thunder Beast could enhance was only feeble, so he almost forgot about its existence.

If he could make the Thunder Beast evolve into the Saint Thunder Beast again, and then swallow the power of the Saint Thunder Beast himself, it would likely double his lightning power instantly.

This thought suddenly excited Su Yu. He quickly started searching within the maze-like tree hole as instructed by Ada.

The tree holes were interconnected, filled with crisscrossed, walls. Finding the "Wood Core Fire" here was not at all easy.

The tree hole was dark, and Su Yu groped around in the dim light. Ada, on the other hand, kept sniffing and directing him.

Groping around, Su Yu was completely lost. Without Ada’s guidance, he wouldn’t have known how to proceed or how to return.

After an unknown period of time, Ada finally made him stop and pointed at a section of the tree wall, instructing, "Hit here, but control your strength."

Su Yu nodded, stretched out his golden claw-like right hand, and began slowly digging into the tree wall. When he felt something, he quickly pulled it back and immediately tore a large piece of the tree wall. All at once, Su Yu saw a natural fist-sized cave inside the tree wall. Around this cave, there were things that looked like human blood vessels and muscles. At this moment, these blood vessels were gathering together, and in this small cave, a beautiful golden flower had bloomed.

Although it looked like a golden flower, when Su Yu reached out his hand, he felt a burning sensation. It was actually a substantial golden flame. If one looked carefully, he would realize that this flower was not solid, but purely formed by flame.

Looking at the small golden flower in front of him, Su Yu found it so beautiful that he felt suffocated. Without Ada’s introduction, he knew that this flower was the "Wood Core Fire" that the mysterious burly man and Ada had mentioned.

However, upon seeing the golden flame flower, Ada was full of regret, "What a pity! This is a Gold Attribute Wood Core Fire, and Su Yu, you can’t use it."

What Su Yu needed was Thunder Attribute Wood Core Fire.

"But let’s keep it anyway, maybe other people in ’Freedom Village’ can use it. However, this thing can’t be stored for too many days, it might have to be wasted." Although Ada’s face was full of regret, it still instructed Su Yu to dig down the tree wall outside the fist-sized cave to temporarily preserve the Wood Core Fire.

Su Yu carefully dug out this gold-attribute Wood Core Fire along with the piece of tree bark it was in, and then wrapped it in cloth and carried it on his back. Having heard that this Wood Core Fire could only be preserved for a few days, he had a faint feeling that he might not be able to take it back to Freedom Village in time.

Next, under Ada’s guidance, it took them a great deal of effort before they finally found another Wood Core Fire, which was also a gold-attribute Wood Core Fire.

Su Yu and Ada looked at each other. Su Yu felt that they were wasting too much time here, and finally shook his head and said, "Ada, let’s go." Although this Wood Core Fire was magical, it was not exactly precious to him. It was good to find it, but it was not worth wasting so much time here for it.

Ada also nodded his head and then looked up at the top of the tree hole. He seemed to be contemplating something, but quickly gave up and said, "Alright, let’s leave." He then began instructing Su Yu on how to leave this place.

After spending much more time, Su Yu finally came out of the large "Jianmu Tree" with the two gold-attribute Wood Core Fires.

When he came out, he noticed that the muscular man from before was dejectedly sitting off to one side with a piece of excavated tree bark in front of him, emitting a faint blue glow.

"Huh?" Upon seeing Su Yu, the muscular man immediately asked, "What did you get?"

With two gold-attribute Wood Core Fires on his back that might be wasted, Su Yu looked at the man’s expression and offered, "I found two gold-attribute Wood Core Fires. Unfortunately, I can’t use them. If you want them, they’re yours."

Upon hearing Su Yu’s words, the man immediately stood up. His face was filled with joy, and he exclaimed, "Really? I was just in need of a gold-attribute Wood Core Fire." His face was filled with unrestrained excitement.

With a light smile on his face, Su Yu said, "The two gold-attribute Wood Core Fires I found are useless to me and can only be preserved for a few days. It’s unlikely I can take them back to Freedom Village. I’d rather give them to you."

The man could kill the Golden Tree Spirit Beast at least on par with a Seventh Stage Expert. Becoming acquainted with such a person and giving away two Wood Core Fires was well worth it.

When the man saw the two golden flame flowers enclosed within the tree bark that Su Yu handed over, he was almost speechless with excitement. He couldn’t help but laugh heartily, his laughter filled with excitement. It was clear that these two gold-attribute Wood Core Fires were very important to him.

"Young man ... no, damn, I forget to ask, what’s your name? I’m Ouyang Nuo." He initially just showed politeness towards Su Yu, but after Su Yu generously offered the two gold-attribute Wood Core Fires, his attitude changed dramatically.

The two gold-attribute Wood Core Fires, which were useless to Su Yu, were unparalleled treasures in his eyes. He had been looking for a long time in the tree hole and only found a Wood Core Fire of a different attribute that he didn’t need. His own Category 5 Lifeform was not as sensitive as Ada’s and could not sense other Wood Core Fires. He left the tree hole in despair. When he was about to leave, Su Yu came out with two gold-attribute Wood Core Fires. Generously, he just gave them to him, which deeply moved the muscular man.

"Just call me Su Yu," Su Yu responded with a smile. It was obvious that Ouyang Nuo hadn’t heard of Su Yu, but he still nodded and said, "Brother Su Yu, the golden-attribute Wood Core Fire is very important to me. However, I, Ouyang Nuo, never take anything for free ..." He paused briefly and began to rummage around in a small cloth bag.

Sharp-eyed Su Yu noticed that the small bag was filled with various treasures like rings, bracelets, and necklaces, which made him gasp in surprise.

"Yes, Brother Su Yu, what attribute do you need?" Ouyang Nuo finally asked while rummaging through his treasures.

Despite this man apparently being incredibly wealthy, Su Yu conveniently smiled and said, "No need. These two Wood Core Fires are already useless to me, but..." He noticed that the man before him had no necklace hanging from his chest, meaning he did not have a Primordial Beast. Then what did he need this gold-attribute Wood Core Fire for? He was rather curious about this.

Ouyang Nuo seemed to be aware of what was puzzling Su Yu. He laughed and took out a bracelet from the bag. "I’m not sure what your attribute is, but this bracelet can be used for energy storage which can be handy in critical moments." Then he handed the bracelet to Su Yu.

Su Yu intended to refuse, but Ouyang Nuo was adamant, leaving him to accept the offer.

Ouyang Nuo looked pleased when he saw Su Yu accepting his bracelet. "The gold-attribute Wood Core Fire is useless to you, but it’s an invaluable treasure to me. I suppose you’re wondering why I need the Wood Core Fire when I don’t have a Primordial Beast... Actually, I’ve refined my Primordial Beast into my body." (To be continued.
