Seven days later.
After the strange canyon, Grimm found five more entrances to the Burrow World and found the most majestic mountain range he had ever seen in the Burrow World.
Most of the ridges in this mountain range were more than seven thousand meters high, and some areas were over ten thousand meters high!
Its grandeur was no less than the Human Will Mountain Range in the Sorcerer Continent.
As the Burrow World was under the law of ice and snow all year round, the temperature was extremely cold. Therefore, it was normal for the mountain ranges that Grimm had climbed to be covered in ice and snow.
However, this majestic mountain range was a little different …
As this mountain range was too high, and the wind direction seemed to be fixed all year round, there was no monsoon caused by the cross changes in the sea and land temperature of the Sorcerer World. Therefore, this mountain range formed a phenomenon where one side was covered in ice and the other side was bare rock.
In other words, it formed the Yin and Yang sides of the mountain range.
The Yin side of the mountain range was extremely cold all year round, and was attacked by the ice and snow, so the thickness of the ice was unimaginable.
The Yang side, on the other hand, was bare rock. Relatively speaking, the temperature in some areas could be maintained above the freezing point.
Although such a scene was novel to Grimm, it was not strange in the normal Sorcerer's knowledge system.
However, some of the discoveries that followed were a little unusual.
These trees …
A day and night in the Burrow World was about seventeen and a half hourglasses in the Sorcerer World, which was almost half as long as the Sorcerer World.
The Yang side of the mountain range was the warmest at the bottom of the valley, and there were only sparse cold winds blowing. The Burrow World would be full of heat when the sun was the brightest at noon, so the temperature in this place was constantly fluctuating between the freezing point and the freezing point.
And in such a place, Grimm found some trees and plants that did not conform to the law of the Burrow World.
The trunks of these trees had grown a strange layer of cuticle that was a mixture of crystal glass and metal. It was obvious that such a cuticle could only resist physical attacks, and did not provide much protection against the temperature difference between cold and hot. It might not even be the natural growth pattern of these trees.
And these trees did not have leaves.
At the top of the layer was a huge dark red ball. It seemed to be a little soft, and there were traces of it wriggling. It looked like some kind of creature's egg?
The reason why Grimm thought that these plants did not conform to the rhythm of the Burrow World was because of the dark red color of the spherical canopy!
Up until now, according to Grimm's research on the Sorcerer World's expeditions to other worlds, any creature that appeared with a dark red body would only be born in a world with an abundance of heat. It was impossible for them to appear in a world that was almost completely frozen.
If it were not for the Burrow World's self-sealing, which resulted in the sturdiness of the ground, and the lack of erosion from flowing water and lava, the Snowthreads would not have been able to excavate this uncanny workmanship over a long period of time, which amazed many Sorcerers.
At the very least, the Camphoragate Tree cave in the Shadow World was protected by a thick wall of flesh!
Beneath the Mask of Truth, Grimm's eyes flickered as he pondered. He controlled the Starfall Reconnaissance Craft to descend slowly into the valley.
Creak!
The upper half of the Starfall Reconnaissance Craft's metal cover opened up. Myna stood on its shoulder while Grimm flew out of the craft with the Sabbatic Goat Skull in hand, heading straight for the nearest strange tree.
The bottom layer of the strange tree was about three meters in diameter and five meters in height. It was very thick and sturdy, but it was also relatively short.
The "dark red canopy" at its top was a ball with a diameter of seven to eight meters. It looked a little like the egg of a giant insect, and it was squirming slightly.
"Young … Young Master, do you think … something scary will suddenly jump out from this big fellow?"
Myna stood on Grimm's shoulder and saw Grimm gently caressing the surface of the dark red canopy with one hand. It could not help but tremble as it asked.
Shaking his head, Grimm said indifferently, "It won't."
In such a relatively normal environment, the second phase of Grimm's Mask of Truth finally showed some results.
At this moment, in Grimm's Boundless Eye's cold and hot vision, he could see a blurry green background. At the center of the canopy was a faint red, and at the center of the faint red was an incomparably deep red.
It was as if the canopy was nurturing something with high purity energy.
"Is it a fruit?"
While guessing, Grimm only hesitated for a moment before his hand, which was originally caressing the surface of the canopy, fiercely stabbed into it and cut open the surface of the dark red canopy, which was like a water bag.
"Oh no!"
"Ah! Oh my god … "
Grimm and Myna screamed at the same time and were drenched by the faint red liquid that gushed out from the canopy. Fortunately, it was all blocked by a layer of transparent Sorcerer's Barrier.
This faint red liquid was just a normal plant's leaves and branches and was not harmful. It was just that the sudden situation just now had caught Grimm and Myna off guard, and they were shocked.
Gradually.
It seemed that the pressure of the liquid inside the canopy of the plant was starting to decrease. The faint red liquid that was gushing out at the beginning also became a slow flow, and a fishy smell filled the air.
"Huff, huff …"
Myna panted heavily, one of its wings constantly patting its chest, and mumbled incoherently, "Motherf * cker, scared Lord Myna to death, scared Lord Myna to death …"
At the same time, in Grimm's Hot and Cold Vision, the liquid that flowed out from the canopy was still a blurry light green color.
The faint red energy that was originally condensing in the center of the canopy, as the surface of the canopy broke open and the liquid flowed out, other than the energy that had already condensed in the center, the surrounding energy was no longer condensed and began to gradually dissipate.
Ignoring Myna's complaints, Grimm only stared at the hole in the canopy that seemed to be gradually withering.
He wanted to see what exactly would appear in a while!
Gradually, as the first wisp of faint red energy flowed out from Hot and Cold Vision, Grimm cried out in shock, "Soul?"
Other than Soul Sorcerers, most Sorcerers' pursuit of soul materials was limited to natural elemental souls.
Therefore, although Grimm was surprised that a soul had actually emerged from the canopy of this strange tree, he did not think too much about it for the time being.
After all, such ordinary souls were useless to him, unless they were at the level of a World Lord.
Even the souls that the Savage Flame Giant had devoured during its evolution were enough for the Demon-Hunting Expeditions and the experimental materials that he had killed.
Thinking of this, Grimm shook his head, and with a few rips, he completely tore open the dried bark of the tree.
As the faint red juice flowed out, Grimm's eyes flashed, and he found a fingernail-sized object that looked like a jelly ball inside the canopy.
"Eh? It can actually fuse souls together? "
Grimm held the condensed soul in his hand, and his eyes were filled with amazement as he observed it.
He did not care for ordinary souls, and it was very troublesome to collect them. However, if it was this condensed soul substance, he might be able to sell it to those Soul Sorcerers for some Sorcerer Coins, Magic Stones, or even Sorcerer Essences.
There were no less than a hundred strange trees in this small valley alone …
"It's so smelly, Young Master. You can explore here, I'll go hide somewhere far away."
Myna could not stand the stench any longer, and quickly flew away with a face full of disgust.
Ignoring Myna, Grimm happily stored the condensed soul substance into the Dimensional Gap while flying towards another strange tree. At the same time, he kept thinking.
"These strange trees make use of the special geological environment here, and the difference in temperature between day and night to continuously refine and condense soul force? This is similar to the Holy Tower of the Two Rings. Due to the Sorcerer World's longest period of light, and the large difference in temperature between cold and hot, they have cultivated the most delicious fruits in the Sorcerer World. "
With this thought, just as Grimm was about to break open the canopy of the second strange tree, he suddenly froze.
"But where did these condensed soul ingredients come from? Obviously, the soul is one of the driving forces of living beings, and even the source of life for Elemental Sorcerers … No! Condensed? Soul Condensed?! "
Grimm's body suddenly trembled, and as if he had grasped a key point, he began to shout excitedly to himself!
The knowledge of chimeras in the Arcane of Life and Death was divided into four parts: Corpse Refinement, Heart of Life, Elemental Soul, and Living Flesh.
Each of the four parts was crucial to the evolution of chimeras, and they complemented each other.
The upgrade of Corpse Refinement required a Sorcerer to accumulate knowledge over a long period of time. There was no shortcut, and it could not be influenced by inspiration or creativity. It was the core of the mature and stable knowledge system of the Arcane of Life and Death.
The Heart of Life required Sorcerers to hunt and kill high-grade living beings. The higher the grade, the easier it was to obtain a Heart of Life and Death that never stopped beating.
Although the heart of life obtained after killing a target would drop by one or two ranks, some powerful dark Magi who researched the mysteries of life and death had the knowledge and ability to raise the rank of a heart of life that had dropped a rank back to its original state.
As such, some high-ranked Sorcerers could not avoid going to the Black Domain to trade.
Every Sorcerer had different opportunities, inspirations, and directions to evolve living flesh.
In Grimm's case, due to his opportunities and inspirations in the Shadow World, he already had the Enigmatic Reversed Digestive System to evolve living flesh.
As such, after the first Shadow Hedgehog chimera, Grimm's second experimental chimera's most obvious goal was to add the Enigmatic Energy Reversed Digestive System.
The last thing that troubled Grimm in the Arcane of Life and Death system was the Natural Elemental Soul.
In the Arcane of Life and Death, apart from hunting high-grade natural elemental beings to obtain Natural Elemental Souls, the other method was to use low-grade Natural Elemental Souls to synthesize them.
This synthesis method was a profound field of knowledge.
According to Grimm's knowledge, if Grimm wanted to synthesize two Natural Elemental Souls from the Holy Tower of Seven Rings, he would need about seven or eight Sorcerer Essences.
If he wanted to synthesize three Natural Elemental Souls, it would be a hundred!
As for four Natural Elemental Souls, that would be more than a thousand …
This was the price of knowledge in the Magus World. Although Grimm was confident that he would be able to synthesize two Natural Elemental Souls after a few hundred years of study, it would be impossible for him to synthesize three.
Originally, Grimm had planned to hunt high-grade natural elemental beings or work hard to earn Sorcerer Essences to make up for the lack of Chimeras. However, this strange tree suddenly gave Grimm a burst of inspiration!
If …
What if he used Natural Elemental Souls to replace the ordinary souls in the crown of this strange tree?
