The Ratois Mountain is a mountain famous for the grey wolves living in it. They were like a gue that terrorizes the entire mountain


    The majority and dominant group of creatures living in the mountains were these grey wolves


    Most of them were low-level wolves of ungraded or maybe 1st fusion level but there were also higher leveled wolves


    If something was disturbing the wolves causing them to attack everything on site including their own kind, it must be investigated as fast as possible to prevent the wolves from causing human casualties


    “Stay in the periphery and make sure that no wolves woulde down the mountain again to hurt the civilians” ude ordered and his more than a dozen subordinates nodded their heads


    “Yes, captain!” They replied


    From ude’s elixir field, his darkness-type mystic gem came out as a ck magic circle descended from his head to toe


    His clothes turned into shadows that were in a half-solid and half-illusory state again


    With his preparations done, ude sped up to head deeper into the mountain


    He jumped from one tree to another while his mystic gem remained floating around him. His speed and reflex were far superiorpared to normal people


    The Combat Suit really increases his overall physical abilities


    “Grrr!!!”


    “Hiss!!”


    Suddenly, ude heard the sound of wolf howls and snake’s hiss. He decided to check the situation as he went to the source of those sounds


    Bang!


    A snake more than ten meters in length furiously mmed its tail on the ten grey wolves surrounding it


    From their aura, the snake was at 3rd fusion level while the ten grey wolves were just at the 2nd fusion level


    Magic beasts are kind of simr to humans. While humans have mystic gems, the beasts have beast gems


    Humans stored their mystic gems inside their elixir field while the beasts have their beast gem or gems in their bodies


    Different species have different cements of their beast gems


    While humans consumed pills, spirit nts, or magic beast meats to increase their rank and power, the magic beasts have a more brutal way


    They would eat the beast cores of other beasts and if they were sessful, they would be able to fuse beast gems of the same or different type


    Of course, the magic beasts can also cultivate just like how humans do but most of them don’t have enough intellect to do so


    Normally, wolves are crafty. They wouldn’t attack an enemy when they know that they would suffer many casualties of course unless they are starved and forced


    The unrest in the Ratois Mountain was the grey wolves attacking every creature on sight whether they were provoked or not, starved or not


    Some grey wolves would even attack their own kind!


    This is a really suspicious phenomenon!


    ude watched as the snake’s tail seeded in smashing one of the grey wolves to death but the other frenzied wolves took that chance to attack the snake


    The way these wolves act was different from the ones that ude encountered with Rezen


    At least, the wolves that attacked Rezen were ‘normal’ while these wolves seem to only have thoughts of killing the snake no matter what the consequences were


    There was a strange hint of bloodthirstiness and savagery in their eyes


    The reason why some wolves fled down the mountain and attacked human settlements was because of these crazy grey wolves


    As for the reason why these wolves are in a strange state… that remains a mystery


    ude tried to focus on the fight to see if there were clues and he suddenly felt something strange when one of the grey wolves was smashed to death


    At first, he thought that he might just be mistaken but when another wolf has died, he really felt that something seems to have moved out of the wolf


    However, the aura of that something would immediately vanish


    Deciding to hold on to the only clue, ude decided to show himself as his wind-type mystic gem emerged


    ude reached out his hand and arge light green magic circle formed in front of his palm


    “[Wind Stream!]”


    Arge stream of wind emerged from the magic circle, attacking both the grey wolves and snake


    The power that his spell showed right now was much stronger than the ones he showed in front of Rezen


    After all, in his eyes, Rezen is a weak civilian. If he were to use a magic spell with this much lethality then it might also harm the civilian


    Except for a single grey wolf that ude left alive on purpose, all the other magic beasts are now dead


    ude approached the immobilized wolf and it was at this moment that he felt that it was a pity that he doesn’t know a scanning magic spell


    He can use his soul will to scan the wolf but that would be too crude. If the ‘thing’ inside the wolf can conceal itself, he might not sense anything


    Even then, ude decided to try but to his disappointment, he really didn’t sense anything wrong with the entire body of the wolf


    As such, ude decided to kill the grey wolf using his sword, and the same feeling he had earlier appeared


    Something really dide out of the wolf but it was too fast!


    ude’s eyes only saw a streak of light that instantly buried itself into the ground before its aura vanished


    This development made him frown. With that unknown thing having such a bothersome ability, it would be hard to investigate this case


    But still, this at least gave ude a clue on how he should proceed with the investigation


    ——-


    Rezen that is not aware of the storm brewing in the Ratois Mountain just finished listing down things that he should rece with the wolves’ attack


    Fortunately, the 2,000 mana stones from ude were a big help


    He wanted to use them to buy more seeds but since he nned on going inside the city today to buy household items and also seeds of spirit nts, he decided not to be hasty


    Other people can’t see the spirit nts he nted but how can he be sure that they wouldn’t be able to destroy his crops while he was gone?


    It was fortunate that the wolf attack didn’t harm his car and he uses it toe back to the city and his first stop was the herb shop of Neil’s family


    When Rezen entered inside, he saw his friend busy with something. There was a notepad and a pen in his hands as he was eyeing all the herbs in the shop


    Most herbs were just normal herbs but there were also some low-level spirit nts mixed and their value was naturally higher


    “Oh, Rezen, why have youe here?” Robert asks as he saw Rezen entering his shop


    His VIP Client (Fierce Fire) was more than happy with the goods that he bought. Robert was even told that if Rezen supplied him with more spirit nts, he should contact him


    Rezen’s rtionship with Neil and his family was already quite good in the first ce what more now that Rezen ‘helped’ them a lot


    “Uncle, I’m here to ask you to help me sell vismian grasses again. It would be the same as before, 30%mission for you!”


    Rezen still has more than a hundred vismian grasses from the 400 des that he has grown


    200 were sold to ude and Rezen nned on consuming the remaining half but s… his elixir field is toocking


    It can’t bear the pressure of growing another mystic gem embryo


    As of right now, the vismian grasses are useless for Rezen and he might as well sell them


    Anyway, when he returned back to his farm, he would buy more vismian grasses seeds to nt and he would also try nting seeds that did note from the system


    “No, no, no, 30% is too much. If this is going to be a regr thing, we really can’t take that much” Robert shook his head


    Even if Rezen just gives him 24 des of top-grade vismian grasses every few days, the 30%mission would umte to an enormous sum!


    Robert would feel like he was taking advantage of Rezen too much


    “Uncle, it’s fine! They are just top-grade vismian grasses, nothing much” Rezen said frankly


    After all, as long as he has 10 mana stones he can grow 10 des of top-grade vismian grass


    His only problem was hisck of enough capital but as more time passed, that problem would vanish


    “Rezen, it’s fine. I know that your dream is to be a strong mage but with your talent that would be hard! You need more money than us!” Neil run off his tactless mouth again and his father immediately scolded him


    Knowing that he couldn’t win with the expression of both Robert and Neil, Rezen can onlypromise


    “Then how about this, I will give uncle 100 des to sell as for themission, I will give you 10 des!”


    Rezen changed his tactic but in the end, he would still be giving a 10%mission to his friend’s family


    Before Robert and Neil can refuse, Rezen already ced the Tupperware in his hand on top of the shop counter as he started counting the vismian grasses


    The ones he count were ced on the counter causing Robert to sweat heavily


    The way Rezen was mishandling the top-grade vismian grasses worth a lot of money is just too heartbreaking!


    After counting 110 des exactly, Rezen ced the cover of his Tupperware back to seal it


    This is the only remaining Tupperware that he has. One was given to Robert in their first transaction and another one was given to his idol ude Preston


    This third Tupperware is thest one and Rezen can’t give it


    “T-then, t-thank you. Neil, go get a herb box!”


    Robert can’t stand seeing the spirit nts carelessly ced on his shop counter. If he doesn’t ce them inside a herb box, he might have a heart attack


    “Ah, right, uncle, do you sell spirit nt seeds? Preferably ones that nourish the soul!”


    “What do you need them for? Do you n on nting them? Rezen, I advise that you don’t. Spirit nts are expensive not only because they are helpful but also because they take a long time to grow! Onlyrge organizations can grow them in big batches and that is by investing tons of money! If you try to grow them even with the low chance that you seed, it would take years. Don’t waste your time and money!”


    Robert kindly said. He indeed has spirit nt seeds but the reason? It was for those fools that think that they are the son of the heavens. The ones that thought that they can nt spirit nts without any prior knowledge and expect them to fully grow the next day


    Since Rezen is his son’s friend, he naturally doesn’t want to take advantage of his foolishness


    “It’s fine, uncle, it’s just a hobby of mine. Money is not a problem!”


    Rezen is just going to try if he can grow them. If not then he wouldn’t buy any more seeds


    “Sigh… if you really want to then I cannot do anything. For spirit nts that can nourish the soul since they are rarepared to other spirit nts, I only have the soul-tearing peas. These peas can be consumed directly even if the quality is not top-tier”


    “Poor mages would consume these peas since they are the cheapest but it is a brutal spirit nt! It strengthens the soul by making the consumer feel like their soul was tearing apart! Some mages already died by enduring the pain. Rezen, even if you managed to grow the peas, sell them! Don’t try to consume them, you only have one life!”


    Robert kindly suggested since the soul-tearing peas were really no joke!
