Chapter 58: The Key Factor! The Strong One’s Graveyard!
As for Energy Detonation, Wang Che decided not to train it for now.
He wanted Green Caterpillar to increase its Proficiency Level in Blazing Charge to a point where he was satisfied first.
And so, almost two whole hours passed.
When Green Caterpillar ran out of Soul Power, it rested to recover.
Once it recovered, it continued using Blazing Charge.
The Soul Power in this place was rather wild, but the Beast Origin Art and the Gold-Devouring Art that Wang Che taught it allowed Green Caterpillar to absorb the Soul Power here quite well.
Judging from the situation of others on the Communicator, their Soul Pets didn’t seem to absorb the Soul Power here very well.
Most of them used recovery potions.
After all, those who could become champions were not short on money.
In two hours, Green Caterpillar didn’t know how many times it had used Blazing Charge. A conservative estimate was at least over a hundred times.
Keep in mind, with Green Caterpillar’s current strength, even with full Soul Power recovery, it could only use Blazing Charge five or six times at most.
But after training with the method Wang Che taught it, even though its Soul Power Cultivation only increased by a year or two, it could now use the skill seven or eight times!
That was a significant improvement!
In a fight, being able to use Blazing Charge one more time meant an extra chance of winning.
Moreover, the power of the skill was much greater than before.
If the previous power was eighty, now it had increased to at least ninety, or even one hundred.
After using it so many times, further improvement became much harder.
Fortunately, Green Caterpillar was very motivated.
Probably because it could feel itself getting stronger.
It tirelessly used Blazing Charge on that small tree.
Until…
On Green Caterpillar’s one hundred and eighth use of Blazing Charge…
“Enough! You stupid bug! If you ram into me one more time, my body will break!”
A roar filled with anger came from the small tree.
Green Caterpillar was so scared it screeched to a halt, flipping its head over.
Wang Che, however, walked over with a slight smile on his face.
Green Caterpillar quickly stood up, staring at the small tree ahead with great curiosity.
“Sii wuu sii wuu!”
Green Caterpillar called out twice.
How could this tree talk?
“So you finally spoke?”
Wang Che said slowly.
“Hmph! Young man, you’re pretty impressive! How did you find out?”
The small tree snorted coldly.
It actually spoke human words!
“First… Floating Forest, Floating Forest…”
Wang Che glanced around, “Since it’s called a forest, this place must have very special vegetation covering it. It definitely wouldn’t be ordinary trees… So, the moment I saw you, I guessed you must be a Soul Beast. Just disguising and hiding yourself! You are a special plant Soul Beast from the Soul Land. The students outside have never seen one before.”
“They naturally wouldn’t discover it.”
“Second, this place has no sunlight all year round. Normal plants can’t grow here. The land is floating; ordinary plants can’t survive. Only Soul Beasts can grow by absorbing the Soul Power here.”
“Third, of course, an ordinary plant couldn’t withstand Blazing Charge. What’s more, you don’t even have a single scorch mark on you.”
Actually, with Wang Che’s past life experience.
He knew at a single glance.
He just said these things to make it easier for the small tree to understand.
“Human, you’re quite interesting… In all these years, you’re the first to force me to speak. Unfortunately, we are not Soul Beasts… Hmph, and there’s an agreement; I can’t attack you… Otherwise, you’d already be dead and buried right now!”
The small tree said coldly.
Wang Che held the fruit in his hand, smiling without speaking.
How could he not know?
This fruit was highly poisonous. Whether eating it would kill someone or not was unknown, but it would definitely get them eliminated.
As for any agreements, Wang Che didn’t know.
But from the moment Wang Che had Green Caterpillar use its Soul Skill to attack and the other party didn’t fight back, Wang Che knew these guys must have some reason for not being able to attack.
“Hurry up and get lost!”
The small tree said impatiently, “Go anywhere, front, back, left, right, to any other Floating Earth Clod, just not here with me!”
“No.”
Wang Che said calmly, “I’m not going. My Soul Pet’s Soul Skill training isn’t finished yet.”
The small tree: “…”
“What do you mean?”
“Nothing much. I just want to continue practicing the Soul Skill.”
“Are you looking for death?”
The small tree grew impatient, its tone suddenly turning cold, trying to scare Wang Che, “If you push me too far, believe me, I’ll make you fall from here right now?”
Wang Che still smiled without speaking.
He had experienced too many threats, had been through life and death countless times; how could he be scared by something like this?
After a long silence.
“Green Caterpillar, use Blazing Charge!”
Wang Che said.
The small tree: “…”
“What do you want exactly?”
Hearing this.
Wang Che waved his hand, “That’s more like it. My request is simple. You are a tree of the Floating Forest. You might not know this place inside out, but you definitely know the surroundings much better than I do. Tell me, where are the good things?”
“If you point me in the wrong direction, I’ll come back and keep using Blazing Charge.”
After saying this, Wang Che looked at the latter unhurriedly.
“So that’s your plan. Dream on!” The small tree said lightly.
“Blazing Charge!”
“…Wait! You human, why are you so stubborn!”
“Blazing Cha…”
“Alright, alright, I’ll tell you! Stop charging! Stop charging!”
Wang Che clapped his hands:
“If you had done this earlier, wouldn’t it have been fine?”
The small tree sighed, sounding somewhat resigned, “What are you looking for?”
“Heart-Splitting Flowers or Natural Treasures that can increase my Soul Pet’s speed.” Wang Che said directly.
The small tree was silent for a moment, then said:
“Go up two clods straight, then jump two Floating Earth Clods to the south. There’s a Heart-Splitting Ant nest. That’s all I know… As for Natural Treasures that increase speed, I don’t know… But after you reach the Heart-Splitting Ant nest, go east two more Floating Earth Clods. There’s a graveyard, the grave of a strong human… What you encounter depends on your own luck.”
“By the way… even if I tell you this, you can’t handle those Heart-Splitting Ants.” The small tree sneered a few times, “Beside that human strong one’s grave, there are also several unconscious Soul Beasts guarding it. They attack anyone they see…”
Wang Che thought for a moment, then set off directly with Green Caterpillar.
As he was leaving, Wang Che looked back at the tree and suddenly asked:
“One last question, what variety are you?”
“…”
“Soul Sacrificial Tree.”
Wang Che smiled, thoughtful, roughly understanding this tree’s origin.
Holding Green Caterpillar, continuously using Silk Spitting, Wang Che first went straight up, passing two Floating Earth Clods.
Then he jumped one clod to the south and looked further south.
He could vaguely see a large, raised nest and faint, glowing crimson lights in the thick mist.
“So it really is the Heart-Splitting Ant nest. Those crimson lights are probably the Heart-Splitting Flowers… Judging by the intensity of the light, there must be at least ten plants or more…”
Wang Che thought about it but didn’t go over immediately.
He was just testing whether what that Soul Sacrificial Tree said was true.
Now it seemed the Soul Sacrificial Tree wasn’t joking.
“In that case, this exploration just became much easier for me…”
Wang Che narrowed his eyes, looking at the Soul Sacrificial Trees of various sizes on the different Floating Earth Clods…
Wang Che was experienced. He knew that exploring any secret realm or hidden cave had its key points.
Either there were complex formations, or difficulties and dangers set up by ancient immortals… But as long as you grasped the key point.
Any secret realm or dangerous place naturally had a way to solve it.
This Floating Forest seemed to be the same.
“Heart-Splitting Ants are hard to deal with. As for the competition, I don’t really care… Relatively speaking, that human strong one’s graveyard is more important. Maybe there are good things left behind… Let’s go check there first…”
Compared to the other contestants in the channel, he really had no interest in the competition.
He was much more interested in this place…
Soon, Wang Che arrived at the Floating Earth Clod where the human strong one’s graveyard was located…
