Chapter 12: The Deal
Drake's POV
As I walked back to my cage the Ice jade Scorpion slowly followed behind me, I didn't say anything to it because I can't detect any hostility from it, when I reached the small cave I sat down and took out the spirit bone to look at it
Morana's Left Leg (Ice Titan's Spirit Bone)
108, 000-year old spirit bone
Skill: Gives The user Immunity to Ice element, poison element, and the active skill [avalanche] and [Frost Domain]
Avalanche: Attack the opponent with a left kick with the force of an avalanche
"Morana's Left leg, the good name," I said as I stored away the spirit bone, with the presence of the Ice jade Scorpion I can't absorb it here, I don't trust this spirit beast at all even though I couldn't sense any hostility from her
"So you don't want to absorb that spirit bone?" The Ice Jade Scorpion asked
"with you here, I don't have the guts to absorb the spirit bone, who knows what would you do to me while I'm absorbing the spirit bone," I said as I took logs out of my inventory and placed them on the ground to start a flame
"Master do you want to open the reward from the system?" Suddenly I heard eve's voice in my head and I remembered that I didn't open the reward I got from her
"open the large luxurious gift bag" I replied and a panel came out that have the icon of a treasure chest on it, the treasure chest opened up and I got 4 items from it
"Congratulations master you got, a billion-year-old Ultimate Ice essence bag x1, 100 million-year-old sword orchid x1, Goddess of Speed's Essence bag, and 100,000-year-old dark feather fruit x1," Eve's said to me and I hurriedly looked at the items in my inventory, then I saw that I can open up the essence bags and I opened them
"Master got 10 Billion Ultimate ice essence from opening the bag, and 100 Goddess of Speed's essence," Eve said
"Good, I'll give Zhuqing the essence of the goddess of speed when I returned, as for the other things I'll think I can give them to the others like this dark feather fruit, Eve give me the details of this fruit and what's its uses," I said and I heard Eve's voice inside my head
"Dark Feather Fruit is a spiritual plant that can be found in extremely high places where the concentration of dark elements is very high, the dark feather tree will have 3 fruits every 100 years, every time the cultivation of the tree broke through the same will happen to its fruit, the Dark Feather Fruit can be used to level up dark type bird martial souls and dark type plant martial souls, it can be consumed directly, the higher the rate of compatibility the better the advancement of the martial soul" I immediately thought of my father after hearing what Eve said
"If I remember correctly father's martial soul is a Dark Owl, if he can consume this fruit then his martial soul will advance and he will definitely enter the Douluo stage or even the Titled Douluo stage," I said while looking at the fruit, after that, I stored it and took out another thing that I got which is the 100 million-year-old sword orchid
When I took it out from my inventory I didn't feel anything wrong at all but the Ice Jade Scorpion which is looking at me started to shriek loudly it sound like she was afraid and its legs started to shake and it collapsed on the ground
"I didn't attack you and I don't have any ill intentions," the Ice Jade Scorpion said to me while it was pinned on the ground by some invisible pressure
"Why are you lying on the ground I didn't do anything to you so don't blame me," I said to her while looking at her confusedly
"It's positive that it's the master's fault, when the master took out the 100 million-year-old sword orchid its strength quickly suppressed everyone in the radius of 10 miles, only living organisms that have talent in the sword will not be affected by this" Eve said answering my question.
I quickly stored the sword Orchid and looked at the Ice jade Scorpion who is struggling to stand up so I helped her by lifting her up
"I'm sorry I didn't think that you will be affected by that plant, I didn't mean to hurt you," I said as I looked at her
"Just what the hell is that thing you brought out for even me a hundred thousand-year-old spirit beast will be suppressed easily" after a while the Jade Scorpion asked
"It's a herb that I picked up in the forest on the way here, only those who have talent on swords will have the chance to get near it, for those who don't have any talent at all will be suppressed on the ground, also if you are stronger than the Orchid then you can claim it," I said to her as I returned to my place and sat down again
"Here you can take this as an apology," I said as I took out 4 blue stones the size of an adult fist, it's the ultimate ice essence and I gave it to the Ice Jade Scorpion
"That's an ice essence right?" the ice jade scorpion asked
"Where you are close to being correct, these four stones are Ultimate Ice essences, if you absorb these 4 your strength will soar," I said as I placed the 4 stones at the claw of the Ice Jade Scorpion
"Just where did you find these things? If you can help me go there I'll give you a handsome reward" The Ice jade Scorpion said
"I got in from a bag I picked up after entering the extreme north and I have a lot of those stones if you want to have more of it then you should give me something too," I said as I looked at the Ice Jade Scorpion and took out another 4 Ultimate Ice essences
"What do you want?" the Ice jade Scorpion asked as she looked at the 4 ultimate ice essences that were on my hand
"I want to know the locations of human settlements here and the safest way to reach the ocean," I said to the jade Ice Scorpion
"Alright human, we have a deal," the Ice jade Scorpion said
