32 Ability tree (1/2)
After searching for sometime, they finally found the green furred wolves den which is protected by one rank 4 wolves, more than two rank 3 wolves, more than 10 rank 2 wolves and dozens of rank 1 beasts.
Edmond and Udo, who are strongest in the squad, started fighting rank 2, rank 3 and rank 4 beasts whereas Paulin and Lewis hunted rank 1 beasts.
As for Ajax he attacked the many wounded beasts and killed them, earning him, many units of essence of nature which made him smile nonstop.
Within two hours, they completely killed all wolves and collected their bodies in space rings and entered the den.
The den looked small from outside but once they entered inside, it's very spacious.
In the den, they saw many spirit stones, which, they thought, may be they were collected by the wolves from the killing the passing merchants.
”This 'B' danger rating mission is giving us more spirit stones than a regular 'A' rating mission”, Edmond said nodding his head in content.
” hah, what is this?? ”, among the spirit stones, Edmond found a weird stone tablet with mysterious markings on it.
After sensing that there is no energy coming from it and he simply threw it aside and casted his gaze at the corner of the den.
In the corner, he saw a small tree which is two meters height with three light red coloured fruits hanging on it.
” oh, it's an ability tree, but it's a pity, it only has three fruits otherwise we would have exchanged it with others for something more valuable”, Edmond sighed in pity.
”Ability tree??ability fruit??What is it?? ”, Ajax asked Lewis who is beside him.
” Ability fruit is an invaluable treasure which helps Cultivators to awaken an ability in their body. The ability tree randomly bears 1-10 fruits every hundred years, as it only beared 3 fruits, captain Edmond shook his head in pity ”, Lewis continued about ability fruit, ” But it has only 10 percent chance to awaken an ability and only one fruit can be eaten per person in their whole life”.
”I think, it will take 2-3 days untill the fruit fully ripens, you three young ones can take one fruit each and eat it when they ripe”, Edmond paused for a second and continued don't keep your hopes high though, it very rare to awake an ability”, Edmond said when he saw their sparkling eyes.
” Yes, captain Edmond ”, all three youths nodded their heads vigorously.
” But Captain Edmond, don't you need it?? ”, Ajax asked after some hesitation.
