Cole and Celia both decided that they will try to investigate the Flowerhead Forest from the sky. This is not a problem since both of them could fly now – Cole as a Space Cultivator and Celia as a Dragon. Only, Greeny was putted back inside the [Inner World].

Although it was not totally without enemies in the air, at the least, the number of beast that could fly in the air was much lesser than on those on the ground. The number of threats was much lesser compared to the ground.

The only downside of flying in the air was that they won't be able to harvest the natural resources of the Flowerhead Forest. Most of it was block from their view by the countless trees of the forest. They could only pick those that luckily appear in their view.

But Cole's aim was to find the main body of the parasite of this forest. Those treasures will have just to wait.

Of course, the treasures that will have to wait was only include those they can't currently see. It was another story if it appear on their eyesight.

Just like the strange and beautiful flower that grows on top of a big but dying tree. The flower was truly beautiful. It even release a weak but mystical glow. It looks healthy and full of life, however, it looks very strange, to the point of being eerie, since the tree it was attached too was on the verge of dying.

It was as if the flower was draining the life of the tree.

Of course, although the flower looks spooky, it was still a very valuable natural treasure. Only, like any other valuable natural treasure on the wild, the mystical flower had its own guardian, or in other words, an owner.

Eventhough both Cole and Celia was still a little far from the location, they could already both see that the guardian was similar to Greeny, it was a Green Wolf.

When both of them was ten meters away from the beast's location, the sleeping Green Wolf finally open its eyes and look at them sharply. And when they're five meters away from the beast, it started to growl at them.

A total of five vines sprouted from the Green Wolf's body. Those fives vines envelope the whole body of the beast until it cover it wholly like a full body of soft armor. After the vines cover the whole body of beast, it still wriggled and move. The vines actually serve a two purpose, while it envelope the body as an armor, it could also be used as a means to attack like a whip.

Cole and Celia didn't stop the beast on what it was doing. Cole watch it with all fascination while Celia watch it to give Greeny an idea of this skill.

Vitality Flower [Sky-Rank] A parasitic flower that sucks all the vitality of the plant it was attached to. The vitality it contains can save a dying beast at Tier-4 and below.

Beast Name : Green Wolf ♀️ Stage : Ninth-Level Tier-3 Wild Beast Progress : 99.8% Affinity : Wood Type : Beast

The spooky but beautiful flower called the Vitality Flower was actually an healing treasure. However, it will only be an simple healing plant for other beast but for those with affinity with Wood, it was a once in a lifetime treasure. Not only it will help to increase the level of a Wood-type beast, if the beast was talented, it can also help them to comprehend new skill. And on very lucky situation, it could perhaps helps them stimulate their hidden bloodline and evolve.

It is no wonder why the Green Wolf wild beast guarded it with its life. It was probably waiting for the Vitality Flower to drain all the life of the tree before ingesting it.

And before that happen, the beast will guard it with its life. It may be the only chance to improve its life, even an instinctual beast know what's better for them.

However, eventhough both Cole and Celia knew it, they still decided to snatch the treasure. Without the strength and capabilities to safeguard the treasure, it was bound to fall into someone's hand, this Cole knew very much.

Eventhough the guardian beast was much more powerful than Cole's party, they were pretty much sure that they have the ability to snatch the Vitality Flower from that peak Ninth-Level Tier-3 Wild Beast with their First-Level of Core Formation-Stage and Tier-3 Beast.

"I will distract that Green Wolf while you focus on retrieving that flower." Celia said.

"No. I'm the one with a great defensive spell. I will distract the beast while you're the one who'll retrieve it."

Celia shake her head but have a smile on her face, "No need to be anxious, Master. Although that beast have the strength of peak Ninth-Level Tier-3 while I'm just a First-Level, believe me when I say that that beast can only inflict damage to me but it won't be able to defeat me, much less kill me."

Cole look at Celia seriously, "Are you sure?" It is not that Cole didn't want to believe Celia but with the big gap of their level, he can't help but worry for her.

Cole's tamed beast was not a sacrificial pawn when needed by the situation, they were his family. And he will never sacrifice his family's life just for a simple treasure.

Celia nodded her head and pat her chest confidently, "I'm very much sure. Although I can't deny the big gap with our level, I still have the advantage when it comes in our bloodline. If the situation turn worst, I'll just pressure her with my [Dragon Might]."

Cole nodded his head signifying that he approved of Celia's plan. He was being too careful and anxious at the same time that he totally forget that Celia was a Divine Dragon. Although there was a big gap with their level, they also have a big gap with their bloodline. Green Wolf only have an Earth-Rank bloodline while Celia have Divine-Rank bloodline.

Celia first approach the beast and it immediately pounce on her and attack. And since the beast identified them as a thief who covets her treasure that could change her life, it attack her with full force.

The vines that wraps on the beast body attack Celia first like a five whips. Celia evade the first four easily while she let one of the attacking vine whips hit her body.

Pain runs through her whole body... And just like what Celia expected, despite the big gap with their level, the Green Wolf don't have the ability to injure her. She look at the part of her arm that was whipped by the vine... It still look normal and the same.

Dragons are known as the legendary beast with a very powerful flesh and body and they proud themselves with it. There are only a handful of creatures who can injure their body within the same level.

And in addition to their powerful body, Dragon also have a superior self recovery ability. Perhaps the Green Wolf manage to discolored Celia's skin, at the least, but her body immediately recover and return to normal state.

It is no wonder why Dragon was the King of the beast.

While Celia was battling the Green Wolf, Cole immediately use [Teleport] and reappear on top of the Vitality Flower. He then immediately summon the [Summoning Grimoire] and chanted, [Protect]. He was just a First-Level Core Formation-Stage while the Green Wolf was on the verge of breaking through to Tier-4, he bet that only one of that vine whip him and he'll be dead in a second. He was not the same as Celia who have a superior Dragon body.

Seeing Cole appear at the very top of her beloved treasure, Green Wolf immediately shifted her focus towards him. Three of the five vines abandoned Celia and attack Cole.

"Oh no, you don't."

Celia immediately tear the two vines that was currently occupying her.

Woo~~

The Green Wolf whimpered the moment the vine was torn off by Celia. Although those vines was not a part of the beast body, the soul energy that was being used by those vines to move was cut off which slightly damage the beast soul. And soul damage are more painful than physical injuries.

The Green Wolf shifted her aggression back to Celia. The two then return on brawling with each other.

It was true that the Green Wolf don't have the ability to defeat Celia, however, it was also the same with the other, Celia can't defeat the beast. Which makes the battle status draw for a moment.

Still, it was a great feat for Celia. Despite the big difference with their cultivation level, she managed to make the fight draw.

However, eventhough the fight looks like a draw with no winner and loser, there are still a big difference between them. Like, the Green Wolf use all of its skills and capabilities but Celia only use her flesh body to fight.

It was because Celia was testing the endurance capacity of her flesh body and in this fight, she could confidently said that she could endure peak Tier-3 attacks without using anything, be it skill or equipment.

Celia smile smugly. Dragons won't be called King of the beast for no reason.

Sometime later, after Celia finished her test, she finally change her attacking style as her pair of fist and feet suddenly ablaze with purple fire. It was Celia's dragonic fire called [Soul Fire].

The Green Wolf beast pause the moment it saw the fire. As an instinctual beast, it knew very well that he hated fire because of its affinity with Wood. However, the beast resume attacking as it didn't feel the heat the fire radiated that it hated the most.

The two vines that was torn off by Celia regrow into new one and resume on lashing at distance. However, the moment those vines touch the purple fire, it lose control and immediately turn limp. And the fire on the vines crawls towards the beast body.

Awoo~~ Awoo~~

The Green Wolf beast whimpered the moment the purple fire burn its vines. The beast felt the danger the fire possess, and since it couldn't wriggle its vines to put out a fire as it went limp the moment it was ablaze, it tried to cut its own vines. However, its reaction was a second late, the purple fire crawls towards its body faster for it to react.

The beast then covered by a purple fire within a second. Due to pain the fire brought, the beast trash.

Awoo~~ Awoo~~

Pained cry of the beast rangout. It last for twenty minutes before the beast stop its struggle. It finally died.

After it died, an aura rose from the beast that fuse with Celia and Cole.

However, despite the beast was burned by fire in that twenty minutes, the Green Wolf doesn't have a sign of being burned by fire. In fact, the body of the beast still looks normal. If Cole didn't know any better, he'll thought that this beast was just sleeping.

Cole hissed. Celia's dragonic fire won't burn anything but soul. It was truly tyrannical. He was yet to received a soul damage but he heard that damage to soul was much more painful that physical injuries.

And to think that the Green Wolf died of soul torture for twenty minutes... Cole can't help but feel a little guilty. They were already snatching its treasure, yet, it was also given a long, painful death.

Celia shake her head. She was not satisfied with the results of her [Soul Fire]. Due to their big level gap, the process actually lasted for twenty minutes. Fortunately, the beast have affinity with Wood, if its another attributes, she felt that it will last for hour, or more.

In the end, her level was still low. It seems that she have to focus cultivating from now on.

Cole sighed. No need to regret for spilled tea because just like any other creature, they have to followed the law of the jungle.

He used [Unseen Hands Technique] and send one hand above the body of the beast and chanted, [Find Loots]. The body release a light that prevents the eyesight from seeing. Three seconds later, the blinding light vanish and different items appear;

+1 Bone Essence +1 Flesh Essence +1 Bone Essence +1 Beast Crystal (Wood) +1 Green Wolf Fur

A wisp of blue smoke was also released by the body. It was the soul energy refined by the [Soul Fire] and it was absorbed by the Soul Jade Bangle.
