The way out.

The morning passed by with anything interesting in the Ice cave of James.

In the ordinary farm under a fungus laid James with a disappointed expression. He looked like a man whose wife has run away with another man.

After a long time of calming his turbulent heart, he opened the chatbox to know about the outside conditions.

Even though he was disappointed he didn't give up yet. He still had a large amount of Yin Ice in his possession which can be his bargaining chip in survival.

When he opened the chat he saw many messages popping out in the chatbox continuously.

"Hey, did anybody else felt the change in the atmosphere?"

"Yes, Yes. Here there are heavy winds around my shelter."

"Same with me here. When I was returning to my shelter I saw few large uprooted trees littered in the plains. And I live in vast plain without any forests nearby."

"Bro upstairs, maybe the game wants to gift you those trees"

"Guy Upstairs, make sure you don't get trampled by some flying trees."

"Yeah, open plains are surely the most dangerous place in this type of environment."

"Upstaris+1"

"Ha! it doesn't matter where you live of you are talented. Laotzu has considered this issue and built an underground safe house. HAHAHA."

----------------

James watched the chats for a few minutes and found some clues. But he didn't get any clear understanding.

Now he understood the difficulty of being isolated from the outside world and his shortcomings. He needed someone reliable to get the outside news from.

After thinking about it for some time he went to his private chat and sent a common message to all of those in his private chat.

In fact, there were only three of them, one girl, the magma guy, and the young guy who traded the odd seed.

Thinking of the odd the seems Jame didn't check it out after the last time he placed it inside the store.

Thinking of it and since he didn't have anything to do he took it out.

There was no change in the seed. It still looked like a small border with a hard rock-like outer coating.

{Palace tree seed(Dormant)

Level:??

Description: The seed of a small plant born in the roots of the Great tree of life. Even the smallest sapling has a huge amount of space inside its roots and branches. It was cultivated by the Elf Queen for the elves but while cultivation the tree the fruit was lost and never discovered ever, when provided with enough energy it can grow into a huge palace tree with all the living facilities of a palace.

Note: The leaves of the Palace tree have a high absorption rate of surrounding energy. It can also release a small amount of life energy in the surrounding after growing leaves.}

The information if the seed was also the same.

When he was about to put it inside again a bold idea struck his mind.

'Since this seed needs a lot of energy to grow, can the titan whale be used as its fertilizer?'

It surely was a bold idea. Using a mythological beast's body as a fertilizer. Only James can have such thoughts.

'Anyway, it's not like I can take it along with me. If this seed can grow maybe I can find a way out of here. Now that I think about this it will be best if the seed devours the whole whale and clear a way out of here.'

With his thoughts running wild he came inside the pit where there was the previously reviewed piece of flesh.

What confused James was that even after leaving it open for some time it has not yet been frozen.

But he didn't mind it. He took out the shovel to clear out a few more Ice layers in the surroundings revealing more and more dull flesh inside.

After he was done with this he made a few cuts on the flesh to see f it bleeds. but it seemed to have been frozen for a long time as there was not even a single drop of blood.

He didn't have any other option then, he directly cut open a small piece of flesh enough for the seed to be placed inside.

Once the preparation was done he took out the seed from the storage space and placed it inside the flesh.

After that, he waited for some time to see if there was any reaction from the seed. Few minutes went by but there was no reaction.

'Is the flesh too old that it had no energy? No, such a mythical beast must have at least a small amount of energy left right? Or else the system won't describe such a broken piece of shit.'

Taking a deep breath he didn't know what to do. He started thing about everything he knew about plants and fertilizers.

Soon he had a guess, there were no decomposers in this environment. Making it difficult for the flesh to release any energy.

With this thought, he went out and dug a large area in the farm to make a temporary fireplace.

Filled it with a lot of wood, these basic resources were what James needed the least now. Putting many pieces of ice in an iron bucket he started melting them.

After melting he let the water boil and then stored it in the storage space to avoid getting it cooled. The storage didn't require any container to store liquids making it more convenient.

He repeated the same for a large amount of Ice and emptied almost more than half of the Ice from the small Ice mountain near his camp. This was the Ice mountain formed by the Ice he had dug for the past few days.

With this, he had more than enough boiled water. Which he directly poured inside the pit on the seed and surrounding flesh.

With the steam rising from the water and the Ice there were small changes in the flesh around the seed. It got more soft and fleshy. The outer cover of the seed was also a bit softened due to unknown reasons.

Seeing this James was excited as he saw a new hope.
