A few days later, on Skeleton Island in the Mysterious Sea.
On the vast sea, there was a small island floating alone. The island was not big, but its shape was very strange. If one looked down from the sky, one could clearly see that the shape of the island was actually a skull.
At this moment, on the beach on one side of the island.
Ka-cha! A soft sound was heard.
Heath jumped down from the small boat and stepped on the beach made of gravel.
“Phew, I’m finally here!”
The miasma around the island was more troublesome than he had expected. It was thick and dense, and it also contained extremely strong corrosive properties. Even a sturdy Wizard ship would be corroded by it. If it wasn’t for his advancement to an intermediate-rank Wizard, they wouldn’t have been able to enter.
Relying on the powerful magic power of an intermediate-rank Wizard, the Wizard ship was able to drive through the miasma and cast defensive spells all the way to the island.
Standing on the beach, Heath looked at the small island in front of him.
On the surface, there was nothing special about the small island. It was just an ordinary primitive island with dense forests and lush vegetation.
However, if one observed it carefully, he felt that there was indeed something different about the island. However, he could not tell where exactly it was.
After thinking about it carefully, Heath felt that it should be because it was quiet. The ecology of such a primitive island was generally very good. On the island, it was easy to hear the movements of various beasts and demonized creatures, just like when Heath had just landed on Forest Island and saw a group of Gehrus.
However, from the moment he entered the miasma around the island, Heath had not heard a single sound. It was the same after he landed on the island. The surroundings were very quiet. Only a few rustling sounds could be heard from time to time when the sea breeze blew through the treetops. The overall atmosphere was unusually quiet. The color of the island was originally dark. Coupled with the terrifyingly quiet atmosphere, there was an indescribable sense of oppression.
“Heath, it’s so quiet here!”
Nina, who was floating beside Heath, also noticed this abnormality. However, there was no fear or nervousness on her face. Instead, she looked very expectant.
She excitedly asked Heath, “Do you think we’ll encounter any powerful monsters here?”
Heath replied nonchalantly, “You’re the biggest monster, alright?”
Nina rolled her eyes. “Tsk! You, don’t you know how to speak human language?”
Heath ignored her.
“Let’s go in and take a look.”
The two of them walked into the depths of Skeleton Island. When they stood outside and looked, Heath felt that the color of the island was slightly darker. After entering the island, he finally knew where the black came from.
Most of the materials here were darker in color be it the trees, flowers, or even the soil on the ground. The vegetation here was very dense. The trees were crisscrossed and connected with each other, and the light was very dim. This caused the place to look darker.
“Strange. The vegetation here is obviously so good, but why can’t I see a living creature?”
Nina’s mouth was raised as she flew around the surroundings, staring at her surroundings with a strange expression.
They had walked into the forest for quite some time, but in the past half an hour, neither of them had seen a single living creature. They could not even see any traces of animal activity whether it was birds or beasts.
The entire island seemed to be left with only this pitch-black forest, which looked lifeless. “It is indeed a little strange.”
Heath agreed casually, but there was not much nervousness on his face. After advancing to an intermediate-rank Wizard, his strength had increased by a level. Although he was not invincible, he would not fall into danger easily. No matter what the source of the strangeness was, he would just deal with it.
As an intermediate-rank Wizard, he had at least a bit of self-confidence.
He was worried about this place being strange, so he might as well focus on treasure hunting. This was such a lush forest, so it was impossible to find only a few species here.
As expected, when he passed through a dark red grassland, Heath made his first discovery.
This dark red grassland had all kinds of strange flowers. They looked diverse. Trumpet Flowers, clover, and so on were all common vegetation, but they were all dark red here. It was as if they had been dyed with red dye.
In the middle of this dark red meadow, there was a flower with six petals. The petals were clearly layered, and they looked as if they had been dyed red with blood.
Blood Flower.
This was a relatively high-level magic plant that grew in places where negative energy was concentrated. It had a very strong characteristic of death, and even the slightest touch would cause damage to one’s life force. If eaten, even a Wizard-level demonized creature would be at risk of death.
However, after being refined and processed by a Wizard, it could be used to refine life force potions. It was a medium-to high-level life force potion material.
Heath was delighted.
After advancing to an intermediate-level Wizard, his maximum life force had also increased. This Blood Flower had come just in time.
‘I can’t stop my luck!’
It wasn’t easy to find materials that could increase the life force of an intermediate Wizard. Not only was it expensive, but it was also very hard to find. If a Blood Flower like this were to be sold on the market, it would be worth at least tens of thousands of Magic Stones.
Opening the spatial pocket, Heath took out tools one by one. It wasn’t easy to pick the Blood of Death. Even just touching it could corrode, causing one’s life force to drop. Even if he was an intermediate-level Wizard, he could not let his guard down.
Taking out the Magic Stones, Heath first set up a positive energy magic circle around the Blood Flower to neutralize the negative energy in the Blood Flower. Next, he put on a pair of magic gloves that were used to pick some dangerous magic materials. These gloves could prevent the erosion of dangerous elements to a large extent.
After doing all this, Heath activated the magic array and then began to collect the Blood Flower.
Rustle! Rustle! A slight rustle sounded. Heath bent his knees in front of the Blood Flower and squatted down. He put on the gloves and reached out to the Blood Flower.
Just as he was about to touch the Blood Flower, suddenly…
Drip! Drip! A sound like a drop of water was heard.
Blood began to drip down from the bright red petals of the Blood Flower and quickly spread towards Heath’s glove. Just as the glove made contact with the blood, there was a popping sound. White smoke rose from where the two intersected, as if something was burning.
Just as the glove was about to be burned by the blood, the magic array around the Blood Flower suddenly lit up with a pure white light beam. A holy power was naturally released from the light beam.
Under the illumination of the pure white light beam, the blood released by the Blood Flower quickly disintegrated and returned to its original state.
At the same time, Heath uprooted the Blood Flower with a crack.
‘I’ve got it!’
His gaze swept over the bright red flower in front of him. Heath then chanted in his heart, ‘Extract.’
