Discovery of a Wood Tooth Crystal

Six streaks of Flowing Light flew out from Xu Feng's side and spun toward the rock ahead. Under the high-speed rotation of the flying knives, the rock was drilled through as easily as tofu, and Xu Feng charged in after them.

However, Xu Feng did not hurry forward. He slowed down, carefully searching as he advanced.

He kept sniffing the air.

There was no scent of rice drifting over.

"Did Bata even notice me?" After a while, having found nothing, Xu Feng sat on a rock underground, feeling somewhat helpless. "Could he be asleep? Does an Intelligent Life even have a sleep function? Or do I not meet his standards, so he can't be bothered with me?"

Xu Feng rallied himself.

"Forget it. Even if he doesn't want to deal with me, I've already obtained so many Spirits of Plants. This trip wasn't for nothing."

Xu Feng stood up.

Bata's ship had camouflage and concealment functions. Even Earth's ancient civilization technology, capable of monitoring the entire globe, could not discover the Meteor Tear's existence.

Xu Feng believed that no matter how hard he searched with his Mental Power, he would not be able to find Bata's ship.

The entire Earth was a massive treasure trove. Aside from the Earth created by Mountain Lord, the reincarnated Divine King and the Universe's Strongest, there were also the treasures left behind by the master of Meteor Tear.

Ancient Civilization Ruins, the Meteor Tear ship, a Mechanical Race ship, a Silver Blue Empire ship, a Zerg Mother Queen's nest...

With enough Luck Qi, a bicycle could become a rocket in minutes!

A slingshot could be upgraded into a nuclear bomb!

With enough Luck Qi, one could reach the pinnacle of life.

Time slowly passed. After traveling through the dark rock for who knew how long, Xu Feng's nose suddenly twitched. A faint scent of rice drifted into his nostrils.

The smell of rice?

Xu Feng's spirits lifted, and he grew excited. "Wood Tooth Crystal! This must be the scent of a Rice Tooth Crystal!"

Xu Feng accelerated, swiftly moving in the direction from which the rice scent came. Soon, a faint glimmer of light appeared ahead.

Xu Feng swept the area with his Mental Power and smiled. "It really is a Rice Tooth Crystal!"

"A Rice Tooth Crystal actually appeared here. It seems Bata really did notice me."

Whether it was the Cloud-Piercing Vine or Wood Tooth Crystals, Bata had actually released them to attract Earth's powerhouses and test their talent—namely, their Brain Domain Width.

Wood Tooth Crystals were extremely precious, and on Earth, they were priceless treasures. If Xu Feng had not met Bata's standards, Bata would never have released them so casually.

The white, translucent crystal emitted wave after wave of rice fragrance, making one unable to resist the urge to drool.

Xu Feng swept it up with his Mental Power, and the white translucent crystal automatically flew over and landed in his hand.

"Haha, I've got a Wood Tooth Crystal!" Xu Feng was delighted.

Wood Tooth Crystals were treasures used for cultivation, as well as for raising tamed beasts and Plant Life. They had countless uses.

For instance, if a Cloud-Piercing Vine was nurtured with Wood Tooth Crystals, it could quickly grow to the Stellar level!

On present-day Earth, that would be an invincible existence!

Just one Wood Tooth Crystal could allow someone around the Apprentice Eighth or Ninth Stage to spend a month directly advancing to the first rank of the Planetary level!

"My physical condition is already at the peak of War God, and my Mental Power has also reached the limit of the Apprentice Ninth Stage. Maybe a single Wood Tooth Crystal can let both aspects break through at once! I'll become a Planetary-level warrior and Psychic Master!" Light blazed in Xu Feng's eyes.

Whether one was a warrior or a Psychic Master, breaking through to the Planetary level required specific conditions. It was not something one could achieve simply by wanting it!

Of course, if someone was a peerless genius, as incredible as Hong and Thunder God, they could break through on their own.

For Xu Feng, whose genetic level far surpassed that of Earthlings, breaking through was not difficult. Even without a Wood Tooth Crystal, he would likely break through naturally after some time.

Compared to the countless other warriors trapped at the War God realm, he was far ahead of them.

But Xu Feng did not want to wait!

"There are methods for breaking through, but they take time. A Wood Tooth Crystal can solve the problem directly." Xu Feng smiled as he put the Wood Tooth Crystal away, his mood bright. "Besides, Wood Tooth Crystals can also be used by my family." Naturally, Xu Feng would not be stingy with his family.

After all, compared to anything else, his loved ones meant more to him.

"Since one Wood Tooth Crystal has appeared, there must be more than one." Xu Feng was full of energy as he stared sharply into the darkness. "Bata, now let's see just how generous you are."

Xu Feng sniffed the air and continued drilling deeper underground.

Within the underground rock several thousand meters below Xu Feng's location, inside an ancient black spaceship.

"Hehehehe, I've waited fifty thousand years, Demon Bata has finally found a qualified successor for Master. Xu Feng, come quickly, come quickly!"

Deep within the Underground World, sixteen thousand meters below the surface, inside a damaged spaceship, Bata—who had two sharp horns on her forehead, blood-red eyes, a slender figure, and the appearance of a young girl dressed in a tight blue outfit—was munching on an apple while controlling Wood Tooth Crystals from a storage bracelet to fly out of the spaceship one by one.

"Hmph... after waiting so long, a human with a sufficiently broad brain domain has finally arrived." The young girl's crimson, little-demon-like eyes were fixed tightly on the figure on the screen. "Come on, come over, little fellow. As long as you come here, there will be great benefits for you. As long as you acknowledge my boss as your master and become the successor of our Meteor Tear, under my guidance, Bata's guidance, becoming a powerhouse in the universe will no longer be a dream."

When she mentioned "boss," the little demon-like girl's voice fell quiet. She looked toward the center of the hall, her eyes filled with sorrow.

"Boss..."

"Fifty thousand years..."

"You've been dead for fifty thousand years. I will definitely follow your instructions and cultivate an outstanding disciple for you!"

"Definitely!"

Ignoring Bata's muttering, Xu Feng, elsewhere, once again "accidentally" picked up two Wood Tooth Crystals in pleasant surprise.

"That's already the thirteenth one..." Like an ordinary person picking up gold, Xu Feng skillfully put away the Wood Tooth Crystals, muttering inwardly.

When Wood Tooth Crystals appeared in the original story, they drew powerhouses from across the globe. A whole group fought to the death over them, and several Planetary-level experts even died, yet they still did not obtain many.

Now, Xu Feng merely wandered around underground a few times and had already picked up a pile of them.

People truly had different fates.

The treatment given to a protagonist really is different. Xu Feng sighed inwardly.

But this world had never been fair to begin with, and Xu Feng could not be bothered to dwell on it.

He continued searching for Wood Tooth Crystals.

Gradually, Xu Feng ventured deeper and deeper underground.

And at a depth of 15,600 meters underground.

"Target locked."

"Wood Tooth Crystal acquired."

"Activate suggestion. Begin guidance."

Strange ripples, imperceptible to the naked eye, shifted slightly. From deep underground, they traveled almost in a straight line through countless layers of rock and reached Xu Feng, who was searching for Wood Tooth Crystals underground. These ripples, undetectable by the naked eye, instruments, or Mental Power, passed directly into his sea of consciousness.

Xu Feng also discovered that his mind seemed to have gained a thought: to keep moving in a certain direction. It was as though his instincts told him that if he went there, he would find Wood Tooth Crystals.
