Ciel quickly arrived in front of the forest which turned out to be full of boulders around the trees.

There were quite a number of people here, all of them carrying various equipment, from fighting to survival gear.

They jumped from rock to rock as they entered the forest.

There are also Golems among the stones.

Some woke up and immediately attacked the humans who stepped on them.

"Hmm, humans are indeed just evolved apes, they still jump around when the situation requires them to do so," Ciel sneered as he watched them.

He didn't lower his voice at all, even people twenty meters away from him heard his voice clearly.

A middle-aged man without clothes and skin covered in tattoos quickly chimed in, "Young man, are you contemplating life or mocking us?"

His eyes became round, as if he wanted to glare at him.

“If you feel I'm mocking you, then so be it,” Ciel replied before the others could speak.

He didn't wait for an answer. Immediately after that he teleported and appeared on a rock 100 meters away.

He was in the forest now, but he could still hear the crowd's uproar because he had teleported.

To him, showing his teleportation ability was better than him having to jump around like a monkey.

He only paused for a second before continuing.

In a short period of time, he had made thirty teleportations, which meant that he was now more than three kilometers deep in the forest.

Here, he ended up encountering a lot of monsters. Camels, Desert Lizards, Snakes, and the like, were everywhere.

In the vicinity of the lava river that also divides this forest, there is a group of Golems who perform various activities.

Ciel's gaze swept over them all before finally stopping on a Camel that was over six meters tall.

Ciel sensed it was at Level 13, so immediately decided to attack it.

Now he had nothing but the will to fight.

Whoosh...

He appeared directly above the camel's neck.

His hand held the Great Sword while flames blazed from within his body.

The flames then shrunk so rapidly that it became a tiny dot that stuck to the edge of the sword.

It was barely visible while its aura and heat dissipated.

Xiu...

Ciel slashed the sword with all his strength and it hit the camel's neck in an instant.

At the same time, the flames that had become the tiny dot began to shine like the sun.

Boom...

It exploded then turned into a lotus-shaped flame that engulfed an area of ​​tens of meters.

As the flame lotus bloomed, black smoke soared into the sky. It can be seen all the way to the city.

Ciel who was in the explosion saw clearly the camel he attacked started to turn to charcoal after its neck was cut.

The only thing that still looked fine was the tiny crystal that emitted a copper glow around the camel's neck.

Ciel picked it up before teleporting to a fairly tall tree branch.

Seeing the Core in his hand excited him, he immediately threw it into his mouth.

This time, he very clearly felt the energy fuse with his body.

Ding...

Chip's voice in his head made it clear that it worked. But he couldn't help but be confused because Chip repeated the words three times.

He was quickly taken aback when he saw his stats.

Nature Essence: 3/40

"Three? ---Isn't this three times the normal?"

Since the existence of the Core was discovered, it was stated that the Copper Core would give 1 Nature Essence, the Silver Core would give 5, and the Gold Core would give 25.

But looking at the number 3 on his Natural Essence stats.

“Perhaps the problem is that no human body can absorb Nature Essence to its full potential.” Ciel immediately concluded that.

Previously people concluded that 1 point Natural Essence from the Copper Core was maxed out, but obviously now that number had risen to 3.

“The question is, will I still get more Natural Essence from Silver Core and Gold Core? --- And what about the Diamond Core which is said to be able to level up an Evolver three times in a row with one swallow?"
