Chapter 1391: – Century-Old Ironpear Tree
Zhao Hai also doesn’t want to fight the other people. Therefore, he made sure to avoid them. He knew very well there’s no such thing as good manners in the Ten-thousand Realm Battlefield. Even if you don’t want to mess with other people, this doesn’t mean that other people don’t want to mess with you.
Although he couldn’t understand why Zhao Hai was meandering through the forest, Li Zongdao didn’t say anything. He knew that Zhao Hai might have a reason for doing so. After all, Zhao Hai had a lot of mysterious abilities.
After moving for one hour, Zhao Hai suddenly stopped. The place where they stopped at had some hundred year old Ironpear Trees dotted sporadically. Century-old Ironpear Wood was already a very good material. Zhao Hai and the others would only need a hundred jin(50 kg) each in order to complete their monthly quota.
Moreover a century-old Ironpear Wood is very heavy. A meter long branch with the same diameter of a wine glass would already weigh more than a hundred jin.
But it must be said that century-old Ironpear Trees were very hard to harvest. One would need an especially sharp artifact in order to cut it. And even if you had a sharp artifact to cut the tree, you would still need to face its protector, the Ironpear Rat.
Century-old Ironpear Trees would certainly have Ironpear Rats as its guardians. Moreover, the rats protecting these trees were very strong. Generally, in an Ironpear Rat Clan, the strongest rat would be at the Nascent Soul Stage. However, average Nascent Soul Experts couldn’t defeat these rats. This was because Ironpear Rats at this stage had copper skin and iron bones. Most artifacts couldn’t easily damage them. Moreover, they weren’t Ironpear Trees that would just stand in place. They also had sharp teeth and claws, much sharper than general artifacts.
Zhao Hai already discovered several Ironpear Rats around the century-old Ironpear Trees. These Rats were much smaller than Zhao Hai imagined. They weren’t any smaller compared to average rats. They were dark in color and had no fur. Their exposed skin had a sheen akin to metal. They each had four sharp-looking claws and teeth that were like saws. They also had a small tail that moved like a steel whip.
Zhao Hai knew that these rats would immediately move as soon as he touched a century-old Ironpear Tree. For these Rats, Ironpear Trees were their properties. If other people dared to steal these trees, then these rats would certainly attack.
Seeing Zhao Hai look calmly at the Ironpear Trees, Li Zongdao stopped as well.
Zhao Hai waved his hand and took out a blob of liquid metal. Then this liquid metal turned into a circular saw. Zhao Hai wielded this saw as it began to rotate quickly and flew towards a century-old Ironpear Tree.
Zhao Hai wasn’t planning to cut the trunk of the tree because he knew that it was its toughest part. Instead, he wanted to cut off a small branch. These small branches were a meter long and were as thick as walnuts.
If it were any other tree, then Zhao Hai wouldn’t have spent so much time thinking. In the past, his qi alone could cut a tree. However, he was now faced with an Ironpear Tree. With how tough it was, Zhao Hai needed to use Liquid Silver.
Even so, the Ironpear Tree was much harder than Zhao Hai expected. The circular saw had a very hard time going through the branch.
Both Zhao Hai and Li Zongdao gained a new understanding about the Ironpear Tree. Goodness, this thing was really tough. However, only Zhao Hai knew that he was only using fifty percent of his strength.
The tree was actually able to resist 50% of Zhao Hai’s strength. It must be known that Zhao Hai’s present spiritual qi was equal to a Transcending Tribulation Expert.
At this time, a shriek was heard. Then it was followed by a few more squeaks. Zhao Hai waved his hand and caught the cut Ironpear Wood. Then he turned to Li Zongdao and said, “Brother Li, this is yours. With this, you won’t need to worry about this month’s tax.”
Zhao Hai called it a tax because the quota was essentially that. Therefore, Li Zongdao didn’t oppose it when Zhao Hai called it a tax.
Li Zongdao didn’t expect Zhao Hai to give this branch to him. He quickly said, “Little Hai, no need. I’ll get one myself.” He felt embarrassed because he had only been following Zhao Hai without giving much help. Being able to get the first loot made him feel sorry.
Zhao Hai smiled and said, “Take it, it’s not easy as you think it is. Ironpear Rats are here.” Li Zongdao was taken aback. He immediately put the Ironpear Wood away as soon as he heard the shrieks. He just remembered that these were Ironpear Rats.
After putting the Ironpear Wood away, Li Zongdao waited. He wanted to see what these Ironpear Rats looked like. Meanwhile, Zhao Hai could count seven Ironpear Rats approaching them. And one of them seems to be the leader of their clan. Another two were at Nascent Soul Stage while the remaining four were at Core Formation.
