Roger looked at the crystal that had transmigrated with him, but it had not moved at all. Today, it had moved on its own and landed between the black wolf’s brows. He was confused. He did not know what the crystal was up to.

However, the black wolf could make the crystal, which had been motionless all this time, move. Roger was ready to see what it planned to do next.

After the crystal landed between the black wolf’s brows, it suddenly began to spin rapidly, and the faint light it emitted seemed to be three times brighter than before.

The black wolf’s body began to turn into starlight and merged into the crystal as it spun.

After the black wolf’s body turned into starlight and merged into the crystal, the crystal stopped spinning and returned to its original position, waiting quietly.

After looking at the crystal and the whole process of absorbing the black wolf, Roger fell into deep thought.

His desire to devour beast cores must have come from the crystal. The crystal that had transmigrated with him must have been drained of its energy for some unknown reason.

No one responded to his calls.

The black wolf that he had just fought with for the second time should be the remnant soul of the black wolf inside the beast core. And that remnant soul should have something that the crystal needed.

Therefore, after he killed the black wolf’s remnant soul again, the crystal, which had been silent all this time, fell between the black wolf’s eyebrows and absorbed it into the crystal.

After the crystal had absorbed the remnant soul of the black wolf, its appearance was slightly shinier than before. Roger concluded that after the crystal absorbed some substance in the beast core, it could recover on its own.

As long as he killed enough third-rank savage beasts and obtained enough beast cores, he could replenish the crystal’s energy.

When the time came, the crystal that had followed him to the other world and given him magical power would definitely give him the answer he wanted, after it was reactivated.

At the thought of this, Roger’s heart was filled with excitement, which directly dispelled his original sleepiness.

After he left the space of his consciousness, he carried his luggage and began to search for the location of the third-rank savage beast with the help of his wind magic.

He was prepared to work overtime and hunt third-rank savage beasts without rest. He would use all magical means to collect enough third-rank beast cores to restart the crystal as soon as possible.

The sun and moon rotated, and the stars changed. Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

In a swamp deep in the broken Cliff Mountain range.

Roger was standing on an ice field cast by ice magic, fighting with a third-rank earth toad.

Due to the earth toad’s abilities, it could only be fully utilized in swamps or ponds.

Therefore, after waiting for the whole morning, Roger finally found the earth toad’s weakness and created ice to freeze more than half of the swamp.

After cutting off the earth toad’s greatest advantage and at the same time casting all kinds of magical protection on himself while the earth toad was destroying the ice…

He engaged with it in close combat, preventing it from reconnecting to the lake.

The earth toad, which had lost most of its abilities, couldn’t withstand Roger’s fierce attacks.

In addition to that, the cold air on the ground of the ice field was constantly eroding the earth toad, causing its movements to become extremely slow.

The battle didn’t even take ten minutes before the earth toad slowed to a standstill due to the erosion of the chill.

As a result, it was unable to react in time and was beheaded by Roger’s sword.

After several days of high-intensity hunting, 14 third-rank savage beasts, including the black wolf, had been killed by Roger. The crystal in the space of his sea of consciousness was completely blooming with dazzling light.

After killing the earth toad, Roger quickly took out the beast core from the earth toad’s glabella and removed the ice.

While standing on a withered tree beside the swamp, he watched the earth toad completely sink into the swamp before quickly leaving the muddy swamp.

He returned to a cave that he had accidentally discovered during his hunting trip.

After returning to the cave, Roger took out the earth toad’s core from his backpack and cast several defensive spells to ensure his safety. Then, he began to meditate and absorb the energy in the core.

Roger easily and skillfully used a few minutes to absorb all the energy in the beast core.

Then, he returned to the space of his sea of consciousness.

He looked at the earth toad that was roaring and attacking him in his spiritual sea.

Roger, who had spent a long time fighting it, remained calm. He had honed his close-combat skills from experience, and he was in his spiritual body, which was not restricted by his physical frailty.

The toad was easily slain again.

Then, just like before, the dazzling crystal landed between the earth toad’s brows and spun for a few seconds.

It then absorbed all of the earth toad’s remnant soul and returned to its original position.

It was 30% brighter than before, but still didn’t move. Roger was confused.

He had absorbed the souls of 14 third-rank savage beasts, so why was there still no reaction?

After absorbing the remnant souls of ten third-rank savage beasts, the brightness only increased a little bit each time.

He did not dare to claim that he had gone through the entire Broken Cliff Mountain Range, but he had definitely covered half.

All third-rank savage beasts that he could find had all been found and killed by him.

It he emptied the entire mountain range of third-rank beasts and the crystal still remained inert, that would be a huge joke.

The Forest Mist, the closest hunting ground of savage beasts to the mountain range, was thousands of kilometers away.

In addition, there were bandits and terrain obstacles on the road. No matter how fast the horses in this world were, it would still take about ten days to reach.

The crystal floating in the air suddenly flickered rapidly for a few seconds.

Then, a message suddenly flashed in Roger’s mind.

“I need a third-rank savage beast’s soul to replenish my energy.”

With the abnormal behavior of the crystal and the information that suddenly appeared in his heart, Roger instantly understood that the crystal was about to fully recover.

After sensing the doubt in his heart, it gave him a hint.

Then, Roger quickly walked to the crystal and asked why it had come and how it had come to this world.

However, no matter how he asked, the crystal remained the same.

After a few fruitless questions, Roger stopped asking. After all, the crystal would fully awaken when he killed the last third-rank savage beast. Then, all the answers would be revealed.
