Meeting in Dark Woodlands
Jacob looked at the Crock Snake with a hint of fear. If he hadn't felt the vibration of the branches, he might've been in a world of pain.
This crock snake was a very nasty Magic Beast proficient in camouflage with its innate ability Water Mirror Illusion of its Water Magic Core.
Although it was just a rare tier-5 magic beast, it was akin to a rare tier-8 beast without any magic core.
'At least I don't have to worry about food shortage, and this also solved my problem of finding a 1-Star Water Magic Core. A good first day starts indeed.' Jacob's lips curled up, and he cut open the crock snake's skull.
An azure membrane encased a small round object hidden within its brain matter, and when Jacob touched it, it burst like a bubble, and a gentle blue light fell on Jacob's eyes.
It was an azure color Water Magic Core just like the earth core he had found back in the goblin's stomach.
