Sneak Attack

When Alex arrived next to the tree on the slope, he focused more on the tree itself rather than the fox that slept underneath it.

From what Alex could sense, the fox was around True Lord 7th realm. While that was something that would be hard for him to fight against using only Sword Intent and his physical body, if he added Qi, he would easily win against that beast.

So, he ignored the fox and looked at the tree. The tree looked like a hurricane had passed through here and had stripped it of its leaves.

However, Alex could tell from how smooth the branches were that there were no leaves here in the first place.

What fascinated Alex about this tree were its roots. From what he could tell, they were incredible  Saint rank treasures of Wood and Earth energy. 

His senses told him it was also an Alchemy ingredient, but without any recipes, these roots would be useless to him in that aspect. As a treasure, however, they would be priceless.
