    Vi looked at the Dongpo pork still steaming with heat. She picked up a piece of sulent meat and ced it in her mouth. The meat melted on her tongue,bined with its rich vor, it instantly melted Vi''s heart.


    "It''s so delicious!" Vi had never tasted such food before and couldn''t help but exim. Seeing the dignified queen of the Kui tribe react like this, David couldn''t help but shake his head and chuckle.


    At the same time, David''s attention shifted to the te of exotic meat in front of him. He wondered if he could extract something from these semi-cooked exotic meats. So, he gently ced his palm over them and focused his mind.


    [Ding! Congrattions to the host for sessfully extracting a trace of Beast Soul!]


    The system''s sess notification surprised David. He was merely trying it out, not expecting to actually extract something from these semi-cooked exotic meats. But what was a Beast Soul?


    David thought about it, and the system provided an exnation:


    [Ding! Beast Soul is a resource in the Wastnd World. It can enhance the physical body of exotic beasts and unlock theirtent potential!]


    [Arge quantity of Beast Souls can allow exotic beasts to break through their innate levels and be Asura-level exotic beasts!]


    [Asura-level exotic beasts are divided into ten ranks, and each rank requires a different number of Beast Souls!]


    David nodded inwardly and had a thought: I wonder if Beast Souls would have an effect on C and Little ck. The system''s response indicated that they would.


    This excited David somewhat. This way, Little ck and C could break through the innate levels of post-apocalyptic exotic beasts and be Asura-level exotic beasts.


    Regardless of whether it was for the Embers team or himself, this was a favorable option. Thus, David intended to take advantage of this opportunity and extract more Beast Souls. He ced his palm on the exotic meat in front of Vi.


    [Ding! Congrattions to the host for extracting five strands of Beast Soul!]


    Vi was deeply engrossed in her Dongpo pork and didn''t pay any attention to David''s actions. David asked her, "Where do you usually ughter and cook these exotic beasts?"


    Vi raised her head and absentmindedly answered that it was done in the innermost kitchen of the cave. She then continued savoring her meal. Watching a woman who had no resistance to Dongpo pork, David stood up and walked straight to the kitchen. Inside, he found various exotic meats hanging and even a few mutated crocodiles locked in cages, ring fiercely at David.


    David couldn''t help but smile. These pieces of meat were clearly not exotic meats; they were C and Little ck, the supplements for Asura-level exotic beasts within the city!


    Walking up to a piece of exotic meat, David continuously triggered his extraction ability.


    [Ding! Congrattions to the host for extracting a strand of Beast Soul!]


    [Ding! Congrattions to the host for extracting three strands of Beast Soul!]


    [Ding! Congrattions to the host for extracting ten strands of Beast Soul!]


    The system''s sess notifications kept ringing in David''s ears. In no time, David had extracted all the Beast Souls from the exotic meat. He then shifted his gaze to the two mutated crocodiles. Unlike other exotic beasts, these crocodiles were extremely massive and emitted a much stronger aura. It was obvious they weren''t ordinary-level exotic beasts.


    The moment David entered, the mutated crocodiles had been staring at him, treating him as a Kui tribe member who had captured them. They exhibited a fierce demeanor. David extended his palm toward one of them.


    [Ding! Congrattions to the host for extracting a fragment of the Wand of the Wastnd!]


    "The Wand of the Wastnd?" Hearing this unfamiliar name, David paused for a moment. Then he saw a shining fragment appear in his palm. David carefully examined it and found that it was an incredibly smooth piece, as if it held some kind of power within. Holding it gave a heavy sensation.


    "The Wand of the Wastnd?" Hearing this unfamiliar name, David paused for a moment, then he saw a piece of shining fragment appear in his palm. David carefully examined it and found that it was an incredibly smooth piece, as if it held some kind of power within. Holding it gave a heavy sensation.


    "The Wand of the Wastnd ,Unveil the secrets of the wastnd, surpass all in the wastnd!"


    "One hundred fragments can be exchanged for The Wand of the Wastnd!"


    Two lines of translucent text appeared before David''s eyes. It was then that he understood that the so-called "The Wand of the Wastnd" must be a treasure within the post-apocalyptic world. It could reveal some of the world''s secrets andmand all things. It might even be more powerful than the Heart of the Zerg spoken of by the old man.


    David ced the fragment into his system''s warehouse and then extracted another fragment of The Wand of the Wastnd from the other mutated crocodile.


    Afterpleting all of this, David returned to where the others were.


    At this time, Vi had also finished devouring a portion of the Dongpo pork. She looked at David as he came out, her eyes eagerly fixed on him, as if one serving hadn''t satisfied her. But as the queen of the Kui tribe, she lowered her head in embarrassment. This feeling surprised her; she never thought that she would show such behavior in front of a human.


    David didn''t pay attention to Vi''s strange expression and simply returned to his seat, even though his system''s warehouse was stocked with plenty of Dongpo pork. David knew that anticipation could make someone willingly give everything. He intended to use the level of the base and this small serving of Dongpo pork to make Vipletely submit.


    After a while, Vi regained her usual noble demeanor. However, her gaze toward David still held a hint of anticipation.


    "Next, take me to find those zombie monsters," David said to Vi after consuming a gic fruit to restore his stamina. Vi nodded and also voiced her inner question.


    "The strength of the exotic beasts here is formidable. Even some high-level ones, we Kui tribe members would avoid them. Why are you personally seeking them out?" Vi was genuinely puzzled about David''s intentions.


    David, in response, smiled nonchntly and answered casually, "Just hunting." He had no intention of revealing his true thoughts or the purpose of his arrival in the post-apocalyptic world to Vi.


    "Hunting? Are you treating those fierce exotic beasts as prey?" Vi widened her eyes in disbelief, as she had never heard such a concept before.


    David then stood up and nced at the sky outside. "If we don''t leave soon, I might have to take back the base."


    Vi quickly stood up, not saying another word. She didn''t want to see the base she had just acquired slip away. Apanied by a few of her subordinates, she led David into the wastnd.


    Currently, the wastnd world had no clear borders, and even Vi wasn''t sure where its edgesy. However, it was divided into three regions.


    To the east of where Vi was located was the Kui tribe''s upied area called "Kui Land," and to the west was the Zerg''s stronghold, known as the "Nest of the Wastnd." To the south was an area where an unknown force resided, known as the "Dark City." Besides the names, Vi didn''t have any other information about it.


    After sharing this information with David, he decided to hunt within the Kui Land for now. Exploring the other two areas could wait untilter, and he also had an eye on the Dark City.
