Under the slow operation of the Spirit Gathering Array, the surrounding spiritual energy would gradually be drawn together, accumulating over time, which might bring some changes to this territory.

But there's a harsh reality facing Jiang Hui.

At present, this territory was on the verge of shattering due to the aftershocks of the battle among those Pure Ancient Inheritances, even if all the spiritual energy was brought together, it probably wouldn't be concentrated enough.

Like undying wildfires being reborn in spring winds, Jiang Hui could only hope that the soil fertility of this territory was good enough.

According to common sense, burning can create organic fertilizer, potentially making the soil more fertile in some respects.

However, he didn't hold out much hope, considering that this territory had been covered by a large area of lava, spanning hundreds of thousands of kilometers, many parts of which had been ravaged by the residual forces of the battling runes, looking as though it had been hit by a meteorite. Even if it could be restored to its original state, the process would certainly be extremely prolonged.

That being said, he could wait, but the followers of Liu Village didn't have that luxury.

It was always best to have a backup plan.

Once he obtained the ability to move around like the Ancestral Spiritualist, it was crucial to find a place with more abundant resources as soon as possible. At that time, supplemented with the Spirit Gathering Array, it might even become a Cave Heaven Place.

Returning his attention from his contemplation, Jiang Hui immersed his thoughts into his mind.

Unbeknownst to him, a month had passed, and Golden Finger notified him that he had another opportunity to summon a dragon egg for free.

The summoning opportunity would automatically reset at the beginning of each month, so naturally, he would use it.

You successfully used your summoning ability."

Congratulations, you have a bit of luck, and obtained a Golden Dragon Egg from the vast cosmos."

"Golden Dragon Egg hatching requirement: One ordinary Ferocious Beast Heart, two liters of brain marrow, ten liters of beast blood (the death of these beasts should not exceed two hours), prepare and simmer these into a medicinal potion under a cauldron, insertion of the Golden Dragon Egg will result in successful hatching after two days and nights."

"Good, at least it's not the lowest-grade Bronze Dragon Egg." Even though he didn't draw an Epic Grade Dragon Egg as he did the first time with explosively good luck, Jiang Hui was quite satisfied.

It's not about having enough or too much, but having something is better than nothing.

As long as he didn't draw the lowest-grade Bronze Dragon Egg, he still had the capital to strive on.

Compared to the Epic Level dragon eggs, Golden Dragon Eggs are decidedly more "simple".

Apart from their glimmering golden shine, the only similarity was the irregular scales spreading on the surface of the egg.

Once he had the dragon egg, Jiang Hui immediately gave orders to Old Man Lin and the others.

Naturally, Old Man Lin didn't dare to treat Jiang Hui's orders lightly and immediately sent out Lin Zhuang and the others.

However, it wasn't until the fifth day that the hunters returned without bringing back any gains, all of them looking utterly dejected.

"Did you not find any ferocious beasts?" Old Man Lin's brow furrowed.

This was already the fifth day; how could they not have found a single ferocious beast? The old man was worried this would upset the Lord Willow God.

"The ferocious beasts nearby are almost extinct. We saw lots of burnt bodies along the way, but they'd been dead for too long. They don't meet Lord Willow God's requirements at all. We didn't even see a single person from other tribes." The second eldest son of the Lin Family had a tired expression. Over the past few days, they had been highly focused and had run thousands of miles, but in the end, they hadn't discovered a single living ferocious beast.

This once peaceful place seemed to have turned into a forbidden territory overnight, with nothing but dead bodies and ravaged land.

Disasters and monster assaults, those tribes don't have the ability to fight them off, so they naturally cease to exist." Old Man Lin sighed with a look of pity on his face.

In the wilderness, wild beasts are innately more potent. The human race is weak, and they naturally huddle together for warmth. After that catastrophe, who knows how many living creatures were affected.

Other tribes don't have a powerful spiritualist like ours to protect them. Most of them might have died." With a sigh, Old Man Lin said in a grave voice.

"Grandpa Lm, I discovered something strange this time when I went out!" Tu Wa Zi jumped out. Although he was still young, his abilities were by no means inferior to Lin Zhuang and Lin Chen, so he was always taken along on hunts, which also served for training purposes, benefiting him.

Besides Tu Wa Zi, the recently joined Gu Chen was also included, and the latter had quickly become one of the primary training targets in the village within a few weeks.

His talents were so high that ignoring them would be a waste.

It wasn't that Liu Village only valued talent. It was precious experience summed up by many tribes in the wilderness over countless years. If a tribe wanted to progress further and reach unprecedented heights, they had to produce real geniuses who could step out of the wilderness and compete with the world's elite!

However, with the flourishing talents in Liu Village and the protection of Lord Willow God, Old Man Lin didn't show favoritism.

He had watched these children grow up in the village; even the ordinary villagers were well-behaved children who always called him Grandpa Lin. He was attached to them.

"Tu Wa Zi, tell me, what's the strange thing?" Old Man Lin leaned over and looked past, not ignoring him because of Tu Dequan's age.

He has always known this kid's nature. Although he's young, he's mature and sharply observant, he must have discovered something.

"Well, Grandpa Lin, this time when we went out to look for ferocious beasts, I specifically went to Stone Village next door and found that it seemed to have been completely uprooted. The entire village and its Willow Branch Spiritualist disappeared without a trace." Tu Wa Zi said solemnly.

Although he didn't have much interaction with Stone Village, there was a three or four-year-old Little Dot who he took a particular interest in, so he mentioned it specifically on this hunting trip.

"Disappeared without a trace? That is indeed a bit strange." Old Man Lin pondered for a while, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

He didn't have much contact with Stone Village, most of his impressions came from the descriptions of Lin Zhuang and others. He only knew that their spiritualist was a willow tree, but far inferior to his own Lord Willow God!

Old Man Lin didn't give it much thought.

There were so many tribes in the wilderness, perhaps some spiritualists had peculiar divine skills.

Taking a step back, maybe Stone Village was directly wiped out by the energy emitted during the recent massive battle.

Right now, the pressing matter was to capture a ferocious beast as soon as possible to help Lord Willow God hatch the dragon egg.

After a quick supply of food, Lin Zhuang and the others embarked on their journey again, this time choosing a direction opposite to the previous one.

Fortunately, on the sixth day, they finally discovered a ferocious beast that had luckily survived, a godlike Bull with a body emitting fire..
