Soon, Xiao Chen was less than a thousand steps away from the nearest Starry Sea Fluorescent Tree, which was commonly known as the Tree of Life.
At this distance, Xiao Chen looked extremely insignificant compared to the Tree of Life.
The tree in front of Xiao Chen was not a tree at all. It was more like a small mountain. Instead, the huge Black Star Sawtooth Sharks appeared more normal.
Xiao Chen himself seemed to have shrunk by a hundred times.
After resting for a while, just as Xiao Chen was about to continue forward, he stopped.
A Black Star Sawtooth Shark swam by slowly, scaring Xiao Chen into not daring to move.
After the Black Star Sawtooth Shark went far away, Xiao Chen slowly arrived below the Tree of Life.
When he raised his head slightly, Xiao Chen immediately felt dizzy. This tree was really too tall and too big.
To extract the juice from the tree, one had to cut a hole in the tree horizontally. Then, one just had to insert a diversion tube.
Without thinking too much, Xiao Chen took out a dagger and infused it with Veritable Essence Energy. Then, he inserted it forcefully and slowly cut a hole.
Immediately, pale white juice seeped out of the cut, looking very eye-catching in the seawater.
Xiao Chen revealed a smile on his face. It did not seem as difficult as he imagined.
Xiao Chen took out the diversion tube and inserted it. After fixing it in place, he aimed it at a jade bottle.
He had refined this jade bottle before. It did not look big, but in reality, it was a storage bottle similar to a Universe Ring.
Soon, juice flowed out of the diversion tube. As it moved slowly, it contained a strong aura of lifeforce, looking very intoxicating.
However, soon, Xiao Chen frowned. How can it be like this?
The white juice started to turn turbid. Many impurities were mixed into it, making it look very unsightly.
Xiao Chen immediately gave up and sealed the cut tightly. Then, he revealed a doubtful expression.
In reality, the value of this turbid Life Juice Source was already pretty good. In the starry sea, the Life Juice Source circulating in the market was of such quality.
Even so, it was still very valuable and rare. However, it was not that miraculous. Clearly, it was not what Xiao Chen wanted.
Xiao Chen did not give up. He climbed up the Tree of Life and extracted sap from a higher place. The result was the same without exception.
Then, he cautiously walked around the other Trees of Life in the vicinity, but nothing changed.
Standing on a branch of a Tree of Life, Xiao Chen looked into the depths of the Black Star Sawtooth Sharks, deep in thought.
He couldn't understand what was going on.
Right at this moment, three Black Star Sawtooth Sharks passed by. Xiao Chen moved like a fish. With a flick of his tail, he hid among the leaves.
He only revealed himself after the three Black Star Sawtooth Sharks swam past.
"What's that?"
He saw that the three Black Star Sawtooth Sharks had the corpses of oceanic ferocious beasts in their mouths, but they did not eat them.
Strange, could it be that he was full? But there was no way to preserve corpses in the sea.
Once dead, the corpses of most oceanic ferocious beasts would not be able to resist the corrosion of the starry sea.
Just like the Black Star Sawtooth Shark earlier, its corpse quickly corroded after it died.
"Let's go over and take a look."
The puzzled Xiao Chen thought for a moment before silently following behind, swimming over.
Although the Black Star Sawtooth Sharks were huge, their Mental Energy was extremely strong. If Xiao Chen was not careful, he might be discovered.
Not daring to get too close, Xiao Chen could only follow from afar.
After a while, he saw an unimaginable scene. The roots of a Tree of Life were filled with ferocious beast corpses.
The corpses rotted, turning into nourishment for the Tree of Life to absorb.
The Tree of Life before Xiao Chen did not have any obvious changes to its size. However, its color was several times brighter, and the fluorescence of its leaves was even more intense and piercing.
A group of Black Star Sawtooth Sharks surrounded that Tree of Life, crying out softly like they were praying.
The sound waves caused the Tree of Life to sway. The leaves swayed, and drops of silver sap fell from the sea like motes of light.
Then, those Black Star Sawtooth Sharks opened their mouths and swallowed the silver juice mixed with seawater.
No wonder the Black Star Sawtooth Sharks were born with the strength of a Primal Core cultivator. Eating the Life Juice Source was like eating snacks, continuously strengthening their bloodline. It would be strange if their descendants were not strong.
However, such a method was outdated and wasteful. It did not bring out the Life Juice Source's effects to the greatest. He simply swallowed it savagely without refining it at all.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen's eyes lit up. He understood. Only these Trees of Life that had received special care could obtain pure Life Juice Source.
That must be the case. The color of this Life Juice Source is much denser than outside. Furthermore, it is pure silver.
However … with so many Black Star Sawtooth Sharks guarding it, Xiao Chen did not dare to act rashly.
Wait!
Xiao Chen's mental state was very good. He did not let his emotions get flustered as he waited calmly.
Finally, the opportunity came. After fifteen minutes, these Black Star Sawtooth Sharks left in satisfaction, leaving only one Black Star Sawtooth Shark guarding it.
Xiao Chen looked around and somewhat understood. The structure of this Black Star Sawtooth Shark tribe was made up of small groups of Black Star Sawtooth Sharks.
Every similar group of sharks should be guarding a Tree of Life that could release pure Life Juice Source.
With this thought, Xiao Chen rejoiced in his heart. This time, he had struck it big.
With a casual look, Xiao Chen discovered at least twenty such groups. The amount of Life Juice that he could obtain would be extremely horrifying.
After calming down, Xiao Chen executed the Fish Dragon Art and silently swam over.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, without any warning, a huge force assaulted Xiao Chen. A heavy object struck Xiao Chen, and his internal organs immediately churned. Intense pain spread throughout his entire body, and he flew back.
"I was discovered?"
Horror immediately spread in Xiao Chen's heart, causing it to beat faster. Xiao Chen, who had already thought of a way out, prepared to flee immediately.
However, from a distance, he discovered that the Black Star Sawtooth Shark only flipped around casually. Then, it found a comfortable spot and landed against a tree trunk.
Xiao Chen heaved a sigh of relief. That had truly frightened him earlier. He had been dancing on the edge of a knife.
He was not a match for any mature Black Star Sawtooth Shark, what more a large tribe with thousands of them?
Xiao Chen's expression turned even more cautious. It was just a casual flip, but one tail swing already contained such great force. Xiao Chen wondered how horrifying it would be when it got angry.
This time, Xiao Chen was even more careful. Finally, he successfully approached that special Tree of Life. Then, he quickly swam upstream, putting some distance between him and the Black Star Sawtooth Sharks under the tree trunk.
As Xiao Chen swam upwards, he suddenly discovered that at some point in time, the surrounding leaves were covered in dense silver Life Juice Source granules. As he swam upwards, Xiao Chen suddenly discovered that at some point in time, the surrounding leaves were densely packed with silver Life Juice Source granules.
Because no one had extracted the high-quality Tree of Life Juice Source, it had already seeped out.
Those Black Star Sawtooth Sharks were praying below to shake the leaves and make the Life Juice Source granules fall by themselves.
"What a waste!"
Xiao Chen shook his head and smiled. However, this was a good waste, benefiting him.
Actually, Xiao Chen did not know that this Fluorescent Tree was a divine item in the Black Star Sawtooth Shark tribe. It could not even be touched.
Xiao Chen made a cut with his dagger, and juice immediately seeped out. Then, he quickly took out a jade bottle and caught it.
This time, the silver juice continuously flowed into the jade bottle. Xiao Chen quickly took out a jade bottle and caught it. In just a short while, the juice had filled up by several dozen kilograms. Furthermore, it was still flowing in, causing Xiao Chen to rejoice.
After two hundred and fifty kilograms, the speed at which the juice flowed out slowed down. Furthermore, a turbid substance appeared.
Xiao Chen understood something. It looked like this Tree of Life might look huge, but it actually did not have much pure juice. It required a period of accumulation. After the pure juice flowed out, it would turn into a turbid liquid.
However, this was enough. However, there were still twenty-odd such special Trees of Life waiting for him.
After Xiao Chen sealed the cut, he immediately changed targets to save time. The drain on his Veritable Essence Energy was somewhat horrifying. There was a limit to what he could do at the bottom of the sea, so he needed to move quickly.
Slowly, Xiao Chen discovered that he really did not have enough time.
When Xiao Chen collected ten such Trees of Life, he discovered that his Veritable Essence Energy was insufficient. He could stay at the bottom of the sea for only one hour.
Am I going to leave just like that?
Xiao Chen's harvest was already very large. Based on his initial estimates, he had obtained at least two and a half tons of silver Life Juice Source. Furthermore, none of it contained any impurities.
However … Xiao Chen looked towards the center of the Black Star Sawtooth Shark nest. There was an exceptionally different Tree of Life there.
Even more Black Star Sawtooth Sharks surrounded the Tree of Life. That was the Tree of Life that belonged to the tribe leader.
