Chapter 147 - Six Guardians

Jian and Song Yu are walking in the north direction. They headed towards the two large trees which Jian saw and determined that they had found their wood element core.

They have walked for six hours straight and had their first rest stop. The first thing Jian did was climb a tree to check the directions. After confirming that they were in the right direction, he sat beside Song Yu to recover. 

In a half-hour, they continued their journey. In the first six hours, they have not encountered any beasts. They had only seen several low-grade spirit fruits trees. They have plucked them for filling 4her stomachs.

Jian couldn't understand why had not they encountered any beasts. But it was a good thing that they didn't, so they continued their journey. More trees containing fruits were visible. Many bushes of berries were also seen. 

Jian would collect the information about several fruits and berries with the help of Star Gaze. Only one berry was common in the forest. He was able to find them everywhere. 

Blood berries were everywhere. Jian asked the system if they were edible. The system warned him not to eat them because they could make cultivators bloodthirsty.

He was shocked hearing the description of the berries. He couldn't understand why there were many such dangerous berries in the forest and who was eating them.

They continued to move forward. The final next six hours stop came, and they stopped to recover. The blood berries surrounded the area they sat down to recover. Jian felt something would go wrong, but they were no such place where they were not planted.

Only five minutes remained before they could start their journey. Song Yu heard something behind her. Jian also heard it and immediately took out his weapon, and Song Yu also did the same. 

The noise got more extensive, and Jian wanted to activate Star Gaze, but before he could, something jumped out of the bush towards Song Yu. So immediately had to protect her.

He immediately waved his Saber at the thing, and it was thrown in the opposite direction. When Jian saw that it was a beast, he immediately checked with Star Gaze. 

Name:Blood Fanged Wolf 

Cultivation: Two Star (Peak)

Jian had not expected to see the beast, which had no wood element. He didn't wait and made the final blow. After that, he immediately prepared to harvest it. While harvesting, he thought that there should be a connection between blood berries and wolves.

"Yes, Host, your thinking is correct; the blood berries are a favourite food of the blood fanged wolf's. They can include their cultivation using the berries, so they are very protective of them. "

The system immediately confirmed Jian's thought, and Jian also nodded. He saw the vast amount of berries surrounding them as he was talking with the system. Another Wolf came out and attacked Song Yu. 

Since it was only an early two-star beast, she was able to handle it. Jian had not expected them to hide in the bushes, so they immediately checked to see more. He sighed a relief after finding that there were no beasts. 

They continued to move forward. They had encountered many beasts. They have even encountered three-star beasts, and Jian had to take care of them.

They would continue to move forward while killing the beasts. Jian would immediately harvest them while Song Yu would keep a lookout. 

They were only encountering Blood Fanged Wolf's. Jian couldn't understand how that was possible but when he saw that their route I'd covered in blood berries, they would only encounter wolves.

They continued to move forward and rest in between while keeping a lookout for beasts. Finally, the day had come to an end, and Jian knew that the sun was going to set.

So they had to find a safe place to camp. Because while moving towards their destination, they had encountered many beasts, and as they got closer to it, the beast's amount got more, and they were a lot stronger. 

So Jian and Song Yu decided to find a large tree wide enough to rest and recover. As the sunset was near, they immediately stopped their journey and started to search for a tree. 

After searching for a while, they found a large tree that was wide and tall. They immediately decided it to be their camping spot and started to prepare. Song Yu collected some wood, and Jian plucked some spirit fruits. 

The sun had set, Jian and Song Yu were sitting on a tree, and a campfire was burning in front of them. Jian had created a barrier between the surface of the tree and fire to protect the tree from burning. 

Before setting the camp, Jian had checked the direction of the trees. He found out that they would need ten hours to reach the destination. He then told Song Yu and rested. 

In the morning, they woke up and freshened up. For food, they have only eaten spirit fruits because the meat of the blood fanged wolves was not suitable to eat, so all they had were spirit fruits. 

After everything was done, they started to head towards their destination. As they had started walking, after five minutes, they encountered a three-star Blood Fanged Wolf. 

Jian had already expected this, so they immediately took care of it and harvested the beasts. He and Song Yu knew that they would encounter more beasts as they reached their destination. 

And as they have expected after walking for straight six hours and decided have there the first break. They have encountered many beasts, and all were about the three-star grade. 

They both knew that they were getting near their destination. They were also able to see top the tree where they were headed. They had not experienced that the tree was this large that they were able to see it away from four hours of distance. 

They had decided not to waste much time, and after resting for a few minutes, they continued moving forward. They encountered many beasts for the first hour, but when they completed their journey for the first hour, they didn't experience any beasts. 

The beasts were nowhere to be seen. He immediately knew that it was due to the tree, which was their destination. They know that they are finally going to reach their goal. Only a few hours of the journey remained. 

After walking for two more hours, they have finally reached their destination. Both were shocked when they saw the tree. They had not seen a tree this huge. Its diameter was more than thirty meters. 

Jian used the Star Gaze on the tree and found out that the whole tree was filled with Qi's wood element. He thought that he had reached the destination of wood element core, but then he thought about a similar tree.

Song Yu saw that Jian was in deep thought. She looked at the tree. She would also have a tremendous amount of wood element coming from it, but she also thought that Jian had told her that there were two trees.

She looked at Jian, and at the same time, he looked at her and made contact. They immediately understood their intentions. Jian immediately started to climb a tree that was near them.

He reached the top in a few minutes, and then he looked in the direction of the second tree. It was still there, but when he focused, he could see third and fourth trees at a certain distance. 

He immediately jumped down and explained everything to Song Yu. She was also shocked when she heard what Jian had seen. While they were discussing, suddenly, a branch came out of nowhere and started writing on the ground. 

Seeing this, both were shocked. They thought that it was an enemy attack, but when they saw that it was just a branch, they relaxed and watched what it was doing.

In a few minutes, it had stopped writing, and it floated aside and flew in the forest. Jian and Song Yu didn't know what was written on the ground, so they moved closer to read it.

"Congratulations on reaching the second area to search for the core.

The name of the area of Guardians Forest. The core is situated inside the forest some were. 

So to find out more about the cores, you have to find the guardians of the forest and satisfy their requirements, then you will get your body.

Let me remind you that there are six guardians, and you shouldn't offend them; otherwise, only death awaits you.

You will find out more when you get the core. So be careful while fulfilling the requirements. You have to satisfy each guardian and listen to their instructions.

Best of luck."

Jian and Song Yu were shocked. They didn't expect that there would be six guardians in the forest. While there were thinking about what they had read, the words on the ground disappeared. 

Jian and Song Yu were shocked, but they immediately recovered and sat down to discuss their further plans.
