Chapter 10: The Fierce Beast Approaches

  The illusion disappeared, and Wang Tao came back to his senses. He was about to return to the tree hole to rest well. After all, using appraisal had consumed too much spiritual energy, and his body had also suffered a lot of injuries yesterday. But Wang Tao found that he was being stared at!

  In the gap between the ancient trees that were struck by lightning, a fluffy white little head popped out. Wang Tao's heart skipped a beat at the same time, and without hesitation, he threw an identification badge over!

  Fragrance (Spirit Beast, cannot be synthesized): Type: Essence Beast

  Years: More than 2 years but less than 3 years

  Evaluation: First rank fifth grade (First rank to twelfth rank, each rank with seven grades)

  Although the appraisal level is still relatively low and Wang Tao can't see the specific information of this beast, it's already not bad!

  "It's not a ferocious beast, but a first-class spiritual beast, belonging to the lowest level of spiritual beasts. Judging from its name, it must have smelled something and rushed over! Wang Tao felt relieved after discovering that it was a spiritual beast and still a low-level one at that. Spiritual beasts generally wouldn't be as bloodthirsty as ferocious beasts and usually wouldn't attack without reason. However, Wang Tao wouldn't let his guard down, "Although it won't attack on its own, if there's something tempting enough to make it take risks, then who knows! Moreover, the commotion just now was quite big, looks like we'll have to run again!"

  He took a quick glance at the Ling Beast Huan Xiang, and Wang Tao hastily returned to the tree hole to gather his things before hurrying to leave.

  "Roar!"

  "Waaah~"

  Just as Zhang Fan had just landed on the ground, he suddenly heard the beast's roar! Moreover, it was absolutely not just one or two, and instantly made Wang Tao's heart rise up!

  "Trouble! The ancient tree was struck by lightning and has a spiritual aura, this wood can already be considered a spiritual material! For ferocious beasts and spirit beasts, it's absolutely highly attractive...” Wang Tao suddenly woke up, realizing that these ferocious beasts and spirit beasts weren't attracted by his own spiritual material, but by the lightning-struck wood!

  "Now ferocious beasts are roaring all around, apparently they are approaching quickly, must leave immediately or find a place to hide!" Between the dilemma, Wang Tao decided to return to the tree hole to take shelter temporarily, I suppose it will be chaotic for a while!

  With a wry smile, Wang Tao quickly returned to the tree hole and carefully disguised the entrance, tensely gazing outside.

  "I don't know if the qigong skills I learned in my previous life can still be used, but if they can, it would add another way to save my life!"

  In his previous life, Wang Tao, who was reborn for some reason, also had a learning experience. He learned the most ordinary tempering skill among them, which didn't help much in combat, but simply improved his physical fitness. However, even so, it has been of great help to Wang Tao now!

  "There's a spiritual material in the wild mountains, I think it shouldn't be difficult to restore my previous life's abilities to that level, at least I won't be panting after running just a short distance!" A faint glint in his eyes and he had made up his mind. Once this crisis is over, he must learn to cultivate his physical skills, otherwise, not to mention walking out of these dense forests into the town, it's likely that even surviving in this forest would be difficult!

  "Huh, what is that Fragrance Beast doing?" Wang Tao's eyes narrowed slightly as he gazed at the little guy hiding in the Thunderstruck Tree. Before long, the little guy pulled out a blackish-purple wooden block! Wang Tao suddenly had a guess, "Could that be the heartwood of this Thunderstruck Tree? I didn't expect this little guy to not only be extremely intelligent and arrive first to get benefits, but also have quite an ambition!"

  Just as Wang Tao was secretly admiring, the fragrance beast's body flashed and rushed straight to the tree hole where Wang Tao was. Before Wang Tao could react, it had already entered the tree hole where Wang Tao was!

  "This... speed is so fast!" Wang Tao regained his composure, not marveling at the beast's intelligence, which he had already discerned, but rather its speed! To think that just a moment ago, it was still nearly thirty meters away from the tree hole, and in an instant, in less than a second, it had dragged the Thunderstruck Wood Essence into the tree hole. If it wanted to kill Wang Tao, it would have been effortless! However, Wang Tao wasn't worried, because he could see that the beast didn't intend to harm him; otherwise, he should have been dead as soon as he exited the tree hole!

  Wang Tao turned around and stared blankly at the small life in front of him, while the fragrant beast also stared curiously at Wang Tao with its big, bright blue eyes.

  The fragrance beast is not big, the whole body is only as big as a domestic cat that Wang Tao saw in his previous life. The whole body is covered with white fluffy hair, shining with white light, and looks a bit like a squirrel. There is also a fluffy and wide tail behind. It's really cute and very spiritual!

  Wang Tao silently evaluated it in his heart and then looked at the lightning-struck wood, using an Appraisal on it!

  "Ugh... has it reached the limit?" Wang Tao suddenly felt an intense headache, as if his brain was going to burst from the swelling and contraction! This is the aftermath of using Appraisal, consuming too much spiritual energy. The only way to recover is to rest!

  Although the pain was unbearable, it only lasted for a short while and soon dissipated. However, Wang Tao now felt his spirit extremely weak, looking utterly exhausted and drowsy, and his complexion was also deathly pale!

  Wang Tao resisted the urge to fall asleep and instead looked at the identified properties!

  Birch Tree Struck by Lightning (Yellow, can be synthesized): Type: Earth Treasure

  Year: 1510 or later than 1511

  Evaluation: Fourth-class goods

  It's still so simple to introduce, and I don't even know its specific function. I suppose the appraisal level will be enhanced when it's upgraded. However, even without the appraisal introduction, Wang Tao knows some of the effects of this Thunderstruck Wood!

  "The lightning-struck wood, belonging to the category of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, is only considered a low-grade treasure because it hasn't been buried in the earth to absorb its essence. Nevertheless, even as a low-grade treasure, it's still an invaluable object! Moreover, this piece of lightning-struck wood was formed from a thousand-year-old tree, specifically its heartwood, which can be compared to higher-grade treasures like heavenly lightning-struck wood!" After a brief analysis, Wang Tao understood the value of this piece of lightning-struck wood, realizing that it was far superior to the third-grade spiritual material he had just synthesized.

  "Hey!~" The fragrance beast saw Wang Tao staring at the treasure in front of him, entranced, and couldn't help but protest with a cry, clearly indicating that it was the master of the thing on the surface, and Wang Tao couldn't snatch it away! However, for some reason, the little guy's eyes rolled slightly as he looked at the small piece of Thunderstruck Wood Essence, then picked it up and took a bite before pushing it in front of Wang Tao. This action suddenly made Wang Tao pause, bewildered!

  "Ah ah……” The little guy, seeing Wang Tao's calm demeanor, let out a loud shout, as if to say that he couldn't be too greedy. It seemed like the beast was saying that it had already been very generous in giving him a piece of the Thunderstruck Wood Heart. Looking at the little guy's vivid expression, Wang Tao couldn't help but smile and say, "Are you going to give me this piece of Thunderstruck Wood Heart?"

  However, the little guy hadn't even had time to respond to Wang Tao's words when he suddenly shrunk his body and flashed into the deepest part of the tree hole! Just as Wang Tao was puzzled and didn't understand, a loud roar sounded, and Wang Tao immediately understood!

  Fierce beast, it's coming...
