Chapter 102 - Scream (2/2)
When the deceived humans came under the trees, they would let out ear-piercing screams.
Their screams had an extremely strong soul attack power. They could instantly shatter a human's soul, turn into a body, and fall down, rotting into nutrients for the Shrieking Fruits.
Heath walked forward. When he was about five meters away from the fruits, the fruits suddenly opened their mouths and let out ear-piercing screams at him.
”Ah!”
At this moment, the value of a Half-Life Soul was displayed.
The scream of the fruit was not to be underestimated. Usually, Apprentices needed to wear special equipment when they were collecting the fruit. Even so, there were still cases of Apprentices fainting from collecting the fruit.
However, facing the piercing scream, Heath only felt that it was a little noisy.
The most terrifying part of the scream, the soul attack, had already been blocked by the Half-Life Soul form. The remaining screams naturally did not have much power.
Picking a scream fruit, Heath took it in his hand: 'Extract.'
[Beep, extraction successful. Soul Energy +2]
Only a little bit increased?
It had to be said that after experiencing the dozens of points of soul energy increase from the bodies of the Apprentices, this little bit of bonus from the Shrieking Fruit was really not pleasant.
Heath then picked a few more to extract. After extracting twice in a row, the Shrieking Fruit could no longer extract soul energy.
”It seems that this rule of species restriction still has a restriction on soul energy.”
”But speaking of which, the only thing that doesn't have a restriction is the corpses of humans and Wizards. No matter how many times you extract it, you can always extract the attributes.”
”Is it because everyone is different individually? Or is it because there are restrictions on humans, but the amount extracted is not enough?”
While he was making wild guesses, Heath picked the Shrieking Fruit one by one and put it into his dimensional pocket.
The Shrieking Fruit was a common spirit-type material. Normally, one would cost more than ten Magic Stones. In the future, it would probably be even more expensive... After all, the price of goods would skyrocket every time there was a war.
Now that he had the chance to take it for free, of course, he would take as much as he could.
Very soon, a Shrieking Fruit tree was completely uprooted by him. The two sacks were filled to the brim with Shrieking Fruits.
Tying the rope, Heath casually threw the sacks into the spatial pocket and continued walking into the forest.
Along the way, all the materials he saw were all put into his pocket. Shrieking Fruit, Weeping Flower, Soul Spark, Blue-Tailed Grass...
The Forest of Souls was one of the important cultivation areas of Shadow Tower. The resources inside were even more abundant than those of small Wizard organizations.
In order to prevent outsiders from stealing, Shadow Tower even placed several advanced Apprentices here to guard it all year round.
However, with the defeat of Shadow Tower, the forest keeper was called back early. He could naturally do whatever he wanted in the empty Forest of Souls.
In fact, if it was a normal change of power, the Wizard organization that took over the Forest of Souls would quickly send Apprentices to garrison here. However, based on the current chaotic situation, no one would be able to take care of this place for a while.
Even if the Wizard organization that took over this place in the future discovered that the Forest of Souls had been stolen from, it did not matter. As long as he did not take the initiative to go over and give it to them for free, there was basically no possibility of being caught.
In the entire Underdark Treesea, the Wizard organization that had the ability to capture fugitives in the entire area could only be the Shadow Tower from before...
Following that, Heath stayed in the Forest of Souls to gather materials.
Just as he arrived near a small forest, there was suddenly a sound of conflict from the forest.
”Scorching Valley! Mithril Fortress! Don't go too far! We agreed that the Forest of Souls should belong to our Dusk Mill, and because of that, our Wizard Master almost lost his life. Are you going to break the contract?”
”Agreement? Our Scorching Valley didn't have an agreement with you Dusk Mills.”
”Dusk Mill, this is the entire Forest of Souls. If your organization wants to take it all, can you eat so much? Aren't you afraid of bursting your stomach?”
”Cut the crap. The past is the past, and now is the present.. Agreements and rules are bullshit. The Wizard World only cares about strength!”
