Hearing Wen Yu's words, Li Quan'an smiled awkwardly, "Actually, I didn't mean to hide this, but I didn't expect Brother Wen Yu to see through it at a glance."
Wen Yu smiled noncommittally and waited for Li Quan'an to continue.
"There is only one item, and it has already been used. I obtained it from a treasure land," Li Quan'an said thoughtfully for a moment and then directly addressed Wen Yu, "This treasure land is not very large, fortunately, it hasn't been closed yet. Moreover, since we are about to leave Birch Forest Town, we can't take this treasure land with us, so I have no need to hide anything. I'll take Brother Wen Yu to have a look."
"Okay, but let's not rush. First, tell me about the situation of this treasure land." If there are any dangers associated with this treasure land, it’s better to be prepared.
"The specifics, I can't really say. However, there isn't much danger. With Brother Wen Yu's strength, there shouldn't be any problems. The only uncertainty is whether we can obtain Bloodbone Incense," Li Quan'an replied.
"Oh?" Wen Yu raised an eyebrow. He had heard of Bloodbone Incense in his previous life; it was quite a useful item. However, more often, it was used to deceive people because no one could predict how many mutated creatures would be attracted. Humans could never know how many mutated forms of insects, rats, or even smaller creatures existed. If too many were attracted, it would be akin to suicide.
But given the current situation in Birch Forest Town, it was of little concern.
Wen Yu thought for a moment and directly nodded to Li Quan'an, "Mayor Li, please wait for me. I need to make some preparations first."
Seeing Li Quan'an nod, Wen Yu walked directly towards the nearby Exchange Stone Pillar.
"Check points."
Noticing he had over 1,000 points left, Wen Yu immediately exchanged them for an e-level steel knife and an e-level protective suit, which only cost him 400 points. He also exchanged for a level 2 attributeless magic crystal for 500 points. Adding the remaining level 1 magic crystals exchanged for level 2 magic crystals, he had a total of four level 2 magic crystals. Unfortunately, all the level 2 magic crystals he exchanged were mixed attribute.
The little soul beast on his shoulder saw the level 2 magic crystals in Wen Yu's hand and excitedly jumped around, constantly bumping against Wen Yu's cheek. Meanwhile, the one-eyed beast beside him was drooling, staring intently at the magic crystals in Wen Yu's hand.
"You two absolutely cannot eat these," Wen Yu said, ignoring the eager looks of the two soul beasts. He directly absorbed the five magic crystals, feeling the increase in his physical strength, and nodded in satisfaction.
"My physical attributes have reached 13 points. With the new equipment I've exchanged, tomorrow's plan is more assured."
As for the little soul beast and the one-eyed beast, Wen Yu would never let them consume mixed attribute magic crystals.
The little soul beast was nourished solely with beast attribute magic crystals when it was at level 1, which led to its C-level ability. The one-eyed beast had a more mixed diet, but it must have eaten mixed attribute magic crystals. Fortunately, due to the one-eyed beast's high aptitude, it managed to awaken a B-level ability. If it had been a mutated beast with a slower evolution rate, it would likely have advanced without skills.
After putting on the e-level equipment, Wen Yu turned his gaze to the last item in the Spatial Ring.
There were very few level 1 magic crystals left in the Spatial Ring, so Wen Yu simply took them out and stuffed them into the body of the soul beast.
The little soul beast was suddenly filled with several magic crystals and its ping-pong ball-sized body immediately swelled to the size of a soccer ball. Its body shook and it plopped down on Wen Yu's shoulder, unable to float anymore.
Feeling the little soul beast's awkward yet excited spiritual fluctuations, Wen Yu kicked the one-eyed beast that was tugging at his pants and carefully examined the last item in the Spatial Ring—the Book of Darkness.
