The Dark Continent was a place that Law was more familiar with.
In those few years, he had basically gone to all the places he could go.
Using tourism as an analogy, normally speaking, since he had already been to most of the places in the South, and now that he had just arrived in the North, it was natural for him to visit the North instead of the South.
However, Law's next itinerary was to return to the South, which was the West of the Dark Continent.
There were several reasons. The most important one was not because of the New World Chronicles published by Tofuri, but because Law had been rejected at several places in the West of the Dark Continent.
Now, he had gathered what he thought was the best exploration team in the world in order to plant his flag in those so-called hopeless places that humans could not set foot in.
Whether it was the Sky City or the Mirror Lake.
The destination he wanted to go to the most had not changed, and that was the World Tree that reached the sky.
He would only know what was up there when he went there.
However, the difficulty of climbing the World Tree was probably the highest in the entire Dark Continent.
It was like the parasol tree where the Phoenix rested. Mere humans would probably be burned to ashes by the Phoenix's flames before they could even get close.
In his memory, the scene of countless behemoths hovering in the air around the World Tree was still vivid in his mind.
Law wanted to go to the World Tree, but he had not thought of a way to climb it. He could only take one step at a time.
In two weeks, the team had plundered a lot of supplies. However, considering the utilization of the storage space, they had to carry out another round of screening.
Putting aside the consideration of monetary value, they threw the items with lower priority out of the fourth-dimensional apartment.
Sa Ling's main job was to decipher the ancient text. Bruna was assisting her, so they could not participate in this screening. Nick was the same. His mind was on the newly sprouted vanilla. He stayed at the planting area all day long.
Other than the three of them, even the psychic beasts Black Cat and Miss Cookie were called out to help.
Law slipped away after staying in the pile of items for an hour. Before he left, he even pulled Sheerah away.
If Sabot, who was in charge of the operation of the Luo Ling Museum, was here, he would definitely complain that Law was not a worker at all.
Perhaps it was the privilege of being the captain, but Law's blatant slacking off did not attract any complaints.
Of course, every time Luo slipped away, he would find an excuse for himself.
For example, his excuse for slipping away was to ask Sheerah to help him appraise something.
In fact, he did want Sheerah to summon Ai to appraise the metal seed he had obtained from Demon Island.
It was definitely a coincidence that this matter was stuck at a time when everyone was busy sorting through a large number of items.
Leading Sheerah to a corner of the room, Luo Xian took out the stone box containing the Demon Island's seed.
At first, Sheerah didn't know why Law pulled her away. Now that she saw Law take out the stone box, she realized that he wanted her to summon Ai again to identify something.
Holding the stone box in his hand, Luo said, "I found this thing in some human ruins on the Six Continents. It seems to be the same type as the gold and silver ingot seed."
Hila said in astonishment, "But the gold and silver ingot seeds are products of the Darkness Continent."
Luo smiled and said, "That's right, but this thing also comes from the Darkness Continent."
Sheerah was even more surprised when she heard this. She then saw Law open the stone box. Inside was a ball that looked like it was made of brass, its surface covered with rough walnut-like patterns.
"Could this be …!" Looking at the ball in the stone box, Sheerah revealed a shocked expression and subconsciously said, "Walnut?"
"…"
Law's lips twitched as he said with a wry smile, "It's not a walnut, but a metal seed that can continuously suck flesh and blood."
Stunned, Sheerah said in realization, "No wonder you said that this thing is the same type as the gold and silver ingot seed."
Looking at the enlightened Sheerah, Law felt that the two of them weren't on the same channel. He asked tentatively, "You … understand, right?"
"Of course. They're both metal and seeds!"
"…"
After a moment of silence, Law said seriously, "Yes, you're right. Please call Ai out. I want her to appraise this metal seed."
"Okay."
Sheerah smiled sweetly at Law, then released her psychic power and materialized Ai.
For some reason, Ai didn't like Law very much. After being called out by Sheerah, she just glanced at Law casually and then treated him as air.
Law didn't care. He looked at Sheerah and asked, "By the way, I forgot to tell you that this seed not only sucks flesh and blood, but also absorbs psychic power. I don't know if it will affect Ai's appraisal ability."
"This … Ai has never appraised anything like this, so I don't know if it will work."
"Then let's give it a try."
"Okay."
Then Law put the stone box on the ground and took out the seed with his bare hands.
Psychic power would be absorbed by the seed, so there was no way to use a domain to control the seed remotely. He could only take it with his bare hands.
Moreover, to prevent the flesh on his palm from being absorbed by the metal seed, he had to cover his palm with psychic power before picking up the seed.
Letting the metal seed absorb his psychic power, Law pinched the seed between his fingers and asked, "Are you ready?"
Sheerah looked at Ai, who nodded slightly, as if she wasn't afraid of the seed in Law's hand at all.
Seeing that Ai was ready, Law threw the seed into Ai's mouth.
In just a few seconds, Xiao Ai swallowed the seed like a person whose tongue had been scalded by boiling water. She quickly hid behind Sheerah and stared at the seed that had fallen to the ground with a frightened expression.
Seeing this, Law was a little disappointed and picked up the seed that Ai had swallowed.
Ai's reaction just now was a little exaggerated, which gave Sheerah a fright. She quickly asked what was going on.
"Squeak!"
Ai poured out her grievances to Sheerah as if she had been greatly wronged.
Sheerah patiently listened to Ai's complaints and then looked at Law. "Ai said that this thing will absorb her psychic power to maintain her body."
"That's all?" Law was startled.
"Yes, that's all." Sheerah nodded.
Law's eyelids drooped. "At that time, I almost thought she swallowed a mouthful of magma."
Sheerah smiled embarrassedly at Law's words, while Ai glared at him.
"If that's all, you should be able to maintain the identification process with your psychic power, right?"
"In theory, yes, but if it takes too long, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on."
"Don't worry, we have lichens."
"Huh? But lichens are precious materials. "
"It's okay. Rather than consuming the lichens, I'm more interested in knowing the true nature of this seed." Law looked at the seed between his fingers, wondering if it had anything to do with the gold and silver ingot seed.
Since Law said so, Sheerah could only do as she was told.
It took her a lot of effort to persuade Ai to start the identification process again.
This time, Ai didn't swallow the seed, but in order to maintain the identification ability, Sheerah had to steadily inject her psychic power into Ai's body.
But here came the problem, which was that the identification time was as long as twelve hours!
Sheerah could only hold on for three hours at most, and she didn't know how many lichens she would have to consume after that.
