Chapter 318: Flower of Geng Metal
Chu Chen waved his hand to summon Cage, Feng Shuang, and Lei Yao out. He pointed to the battlefield strewn with debris and said, "Clean up the battlefield." After saying this, he headed toward the cave where the Iron Waist Celestial Wolf was located, taking Nirvana and Shadow Kill with him.
Lei Yao let out a dissatisfied growl as it looked at the corpses littering the ground. This dissatisfaction was not because it resented Chu Chen for making it clean up, but because it was miffed about not being able to participate in the battle.
Cage and Feng Shuang had no objections to this. They knew very well that they hadn't played a significant role in this fight, and they were more than willing to handle some chores for Nirvana and Shadow Kill. Besides, these Star Cores were to be exchanged for resources for their cultivation.
The Iron Waist Celestial Wolf's cave was located mid-peak, with a semicircular entrance standing three zhang high and approximately six zhang wide.
Only a few Iron Waist Celestial Wolves in their Growth Stage were guarding the entrance.
Before Nirvana could get close, they were taken care of by Shadow Kill.
Chu Chen looked at the pitch-black cavern like an abyss, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Judging by the Wolf King's earlier actions, it seemed to care a lot about its lair.
For this cold-blooded Wolf King to behave in such a way, there must be something extraordinary inside the lair.
Some might think the Wolf King could be concerned about its cubs, but that speculation doesn't hold up.
The Wolf King watched the entire wolf pack get decimated. Under such circumstances, it didn't intervene prematurely but let the pack use their lives to exhaust the Undead Army, aiming to reap the rewards at the end.
How could such a cold-blooded Wolf King care about the lives of its cubs? The only thing it might cherish would likely be some exceptionally precious Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.
Thinking of this, Chu Chen's heart couldn't help but ignite with excitement, and he no longer hesitated, directly commanding the two beasts to enter the lair.
The lair was quite spacious but had poor ventilation, leading to some unpleasant odors inside.
The speed at which the man and two beasts traveled wasn't fast, and it took them about fifteen minutes to reach the depths of the lair.
Shadow Kill flapped its insect-like wings as it approached Chu Chen, emitting a series of low "squeak" sounds.
Upon hearing this, Chu Chen's face lit up with joy, even quickening his steps a bit.
After advancing a little further, Chu Chen finally made a discovery. About ten zhang ahead, there were over twenty Iron Waist Celestial Wolf cubs, huddled together and trembling, clearly lacking a sense of security.
Seeing this, Chu Chen felt compassion and immediately took out his Beast Taming Bracelet to collect them all.
These Iron Waist Celestial Wolf cubs were of Perfect Quality, their value was self-evident.
Don't think it's too easy for Chu Chen to earn this; you must know that the Iron Waist Celestial Wolf tribe had over three thousand wolves, and all of them were Lord Level in strength. Without the help of the Undead Army, even a King Level strong individual would find it hard to annihilate the pack.
Chu Chen happily patted the Beast Taming Bracelet on his wrist, and his excitement for the treasures deeper in the cave grew, so did his steps become lighter.
A moment later, Chu Chen finally reached the depths of the lair. He stared in shock at the golden radiance in the distance.
He advanced slowly, allowing his eyes to gradually adjust to the blinding golden light.
When he finally saw what was emitting that golden glow, his heart began to pound intensely.
He examined the object carefully before finally confirming its identity.
"Geng Gold Flower, it's unbelievable that this thing would appear here. What luck," Chu Chen exclaimed.
The source of the golden radiance was a tiny flower entirely made of pure gold, standing only a foot tall, with a pair of sharp, thin leaves. It looked just like a piece of pure gold art.
Chu Chen recognized this because of its appearance.
The Geng Gold Flower is an Earth Rank Middle Grade Heavenly and Earthly Treasure, requiring extremely harsh growing conditions. Its surroundings must have metal veins of Xuan rank or higher to survive and it shuns sunlight, growing only in dark places.
The effects of the Geng Gold Flower can be categorized into two:
First, by not picking it, it can boost the cultivation speed of Gold Attribute Star Beasts, and has a certain probability to enhance their quality.
Second, consuming it directly can greatly enhance the Beast's control over the Gold Element and might lead to an understanding of the Metal Body.
The Metal Body allows one to transform into Elemental Life for a short period, significantly boosting the Beast's defense power and attack power.
Chu Chen did not dare to hope for the Metal Body; merely greatly enhancing the Beast's control over the Gold Element would be enough to thrill him.
Chu Chen pointed to the Geng Gold Flower and said, "Shadow Kill, eat it."
Shadow Kill charged toward the Geng Gold Flower upon hearing this, as the little flower inexplicably attracted it.
Its instincts told it that this little flower would help it greatly. Had it not been for Chu Chen, it might have pounced long ago. Now having received the order, it did not hold back.
Shadow Kill lunged at the Geng Gold Flower and couldn't wait to have a big feast.
Listening to the "crunch, crunch" sounds of chewing, Chu Chen couldn't help but marvel at Shadow Kill's exceptional teeth.
The Geng Gold Flower was quite hard and couldn't possibly be eaten raw with human teeth.
After consuming the Geng Gold Flower, Shadow Kill lay prone on the ground, waiting for the medicinal effect to take action.
Chu Chen immediately stored it in his Soul Sea, then leaped onto Nirvana's back, heading toward the exit of the lair.
Moments later, Chu Chen gathered with Lei Yao and the other beasts.
The materials needed from the Star Beasts had been mostly collected.
Once he summoned Shadow Kill, Chu Chen said to Lei Yao and Nirvana, "Try to break through." Saying this, he handed each of them a Sixth-Grade Star Power Pill.
The two beasts nodded with solemn expressions upon hearing this.
Chu Chen raised his head and cupped his hands toward the sky, saying, "My task is complete. Might you come for a talk?"
As Chu Chen's voice echoed, a hearty laugh came from the sky, "Of course."
A Cyan Dragon broke through the clouds and charged toward Chu Chen, with a burly man standing atop the dragon's head.
Upon recognizing the visitor, Chu Chen breathed a sigh of relief and quickly cupped his hands, "Thank you, Brother Duan, for your help during this time."
Duan Yanyang jumped down from the dragon's head, waving his hand, "No need for such courtesy, it was nothing. However, your growth speed is surprising. Are you sure it won't affect your foundation?"
Chu Chen shook his head and replied, "Thank you for your concern, Brother Duan. So far, no such problem has appeared."
Hearing this, Duan Yanyang said enviously, "That's good then. Brother Chu, you truly have good fortune."
Chu Chen had called him here for a reason.
Having just experienced a great battle, the condition of the Guardians was quite poor. With the Thunder Shining Three Beasts absorbed in cultivation, Chu Chen was in a precarious situation. Any random Lord Level Star Beast could overwhelm him.
The entire mountain exuded a rich scent of blood, inevitably inviting Star Beasts to feast.
Given these circumstances, Chu Chen had to seek protection, otherwise, he would have to interrupt the Mechanical Beast's breakthrough and move elsewhere.
While this would be safe, it might also cause the three beasts to miss out on an opportunity for their breakthrough.
