The battle ended, and Lina flew to Saine's side. →

The Iron-Backed Black Ape beneath their feet had essentially lost its vitality.

Occasional limb twitches are merely unconscious feedback from neurons after death.

Lina had obviously also noticed the energy activity to the west, and she and Saine looked in that direction together.

"Shall we go take a look?" Lina asked.

Over the past three years, Saine and Lina have also experienced a lot.

Some were battles, some were disputes between Knight and Mage of the same level, and some were simply extremely rare anomalies appearing within the secret realm.

I came to the Knight Continent to hone my skills and broaden my horizons.

Therefore, when he discovered the unusual elemental tremors west of the jungle, Saine's first thought was to go and take a look.

Curiosity about the unknown is also an inexhaustible driving force for the growth of Spellcaster in the Wizard World.

"Take care of this Iron-Backed Black Ape first, then we'll head over," Saine nodded and said to Lina.

With the two Mage working together, the originally enormous Iron-Backed Black Ape was quickly dismembered into precious magical materials.

This first-level creature from the secret realm is probably even more precious than the Owl-Eyed Elk Saine and Guinness hunted before.

Larger size and greater material contribution are only one aspect.

After extracting the crystal core from the Iron-Backed Black Ape, Saine discovered that its heart was still beating.

"This is top-grade raw material for Corpse Refinement Synthetic Beast; it's the kind of material that the Black Magician of the Black Domain love most."

"If we get the Black Domain, just this heart alone could probably be exchanged for two to three hundred thousand units of souls," Lina commented.

The Black Domain lacks hard resources such as Energy Crystal, and Magic Coin are not very common there either.

Therefore, the most common medium of exchange in the Black Domain is the soul.

The souls Lina refers to are those contributed by beings below level one.

Souls are also a relatively common currency in the Star Realm.

Some powerful Black Magician can use magic to trade with powerful beings from other worlds far beyond the stars, and the currency for these trades is often souls.

The souls used by these Black Magician, of course, mostly come from ordinary humans in the Wizard World.

Because the Wizard World is a Top-Level Plane, even the lowest-level human civilians contribute souls of far higher quality than the weaker creatures of middle and Low-Level Plane.

Therefore, souls in the Wizard World are definitely one of the more popular types of souls.

When Saine first arrived in the Western Islands, he often witnessed exceptionally fierce kingdom wars breaking out on the islands in the border region of the Black Domain.

Behind this, there may be shadowy figures of Black Magician, quietly reaping souls.

When Saine was studying at the Holy Tower, he had a systematic understanding of the Star Realm knowledge.

It is natural to know that Energy Crystal, souls, and the Heart Core higher beings are the three most valuable mediums of exchange in the Star Realm.

Besides these, neither rare metals nor certain special materials can match the first three in terms of widespread application. →

After fiddling with the beating, active heart for a couple of moments, Saine handed it to Lina in front of him.

While Saine is still in the beginner stage of Corpse Refinement Synthetic Beast, Lina has already achieved remarkable success in this field.

It's most appropriate to give these high-end materials to Lina, while Saine can use some lower-grade materials to practice first.

Not only this precious giant ape heart, Lina also the half-body of Second-Level Magician, three level Level 1 Knight, and the remains of Mage that he had acquired, were given to Saine before.

These things will only reach their full value when they are in Lina's hands.

And recently something frustrating happened to Saine: Lina hadn't spent as much time studying Death Element and Summoning Element magic as Saine.

However, it has already surpassed Saine and recently successfully summoned a mummy that barely qualifies as a level one.

Of course, Saine is not entirely inferior to Lina.

At least in the fields of fire magic, light magic, alchemy, and potion-making, Saine is stronger than Lina.

In addition, in the field of Soul Magic, Saine has far more insights and knowledge than Lina.

This Mage couple each have their own areas of expertise, but their knowledge also overlaps to some extent.

From any perspective, their union can be described as perfect.

The disposal of the Iron-Backed Black Ape's carcass did not take Saine and Lina too long.

Thanks to the Space Conch that Saine possessed, such enormous pieces of corpse material could all be placed inside after being dismembered and sorted.

Other Knight and Mage of the same level do not have the same advantages as Saine.

After spending too much time in the Trial Zone, the Knight and Mage whose Space Equipment was gradually filled up had to consider giving up some low-value resources.

Unlike Saine, who could pack everything up and take it all away without any worries.

After processing the materials from the Iron-Backed Black Ape's corpse, Saine and Lina flew westward side by side.

Upon entering, one sees a green Gate of Elements, ten meters high and five meters wide.

The appearance of this Gate of Elements was completely unexpected, seemingly rising directly from the ground. Around the Gate of Elements, a dozen or so Knight and Mage had already gathered.

Saine even saw a Blue-Tailed Fishman and a crab.

The fish-person is not Mermaid. Although her appearance is 70% similar to that of Mermaid, she should be accurately called a "mermaid".

When Saine traveled along the South Coast, he had seen Half-Shark People, who were a hybrid of low-level merfolk and humans.

The Blue-Tailed Fishman before them was clearly a high-ranking merman.

This was also the first time that Saine had seen the sea creatures entering the Knight Continent Trial Zone.

The arrival of Saine and Lina drew the attention of many Knight and Mage who were near the elemental portal.

The main reason is that Saine and Lina have just finished a battle, and their Power Aura hasn't fully subsided yet.

The powerful Element Power signify that this couple is not to be trifled with.

The arrival of Saine and Lina also made the blue-tailed merfolk and crabs Gate of Elements somewhat uneasy.

After taking one last look at the Gate of Elements in front of them, the two lone sea creatures chose to leave silently.

The departure of the two sea creatures did not cause any ripples outside the Gate of Elements.

As the dominant race in the Wizard World, both Knight and Mage harbor a certain degree of aversion towards the sea creatures.

After all, they are all human, while the sea creatures can only be considered a different race.

Of course, no one made a move against these two lone sea creatures at this critical juncture.

The sea creatures have joined the Wizard Alliance and are now part of the Wizard World.

Basic courtesy should still be shown.

The Gate of Elements in front of us does not seem to be fully open.

Saine and Lina, like the Knight and Mage around them, then waited quietly for something.

While waiting, Saine and Lina activated their Aura Concealment Technique, hiding their originally aggressive and obvious Power Aura.

The sudden change in their auras did not lessen the fear the surrounding Knight and Mage had for them; on the contrary, it deepened it!

Lina's Aura Concealment Technique was taught to her by Saine.

The unique ability of the Dragon Turtle Bixi to conceal its aura is something that ordinary people cannot see through.

While everyone was waiting, more and more Knight and Mage gathered here from all directions.

Soon, among the Mage who arrived later, Saine noticed a familiar face.

"Hey, Angle?" Saine greeted the newly arrived Level 1 Komoyin Giant Serpent Warlock.
