Everyone Has Recovered

Jun Wu Xiao stared intently at the monster's core. Aside from its black color, he felt nothing unusual about it. He thought to himself:

"From what I've witnessed, it's almost certain that the monster core is an energy source. When I removed it, the entire body of the monster gradually disintegrated as if it had run out of energy. But how exactly does this energy work? This orb just looks like a black stone with nothing special about it. Maybe I should try burning it."

He hurried outside, gathered some wood, and started a fire. As the flames roared, Jun Wu Xiao tossed the monster core into the blaze.

Suddenly, he clutched his forehead and muttered:

"Damn it, am I stupid? Explosives couldn't even scratch it before, so what could a low-temperature fire do?"
