Reilo leisurely wandered through the air above the Doraqi tribe, taking in the sights.
The ground was covered in Mother Nest vegetation.
The creatures that depended on these Mother Nest plants constantly preyed on one another, forming a complete ecosystem.
But unfortunately, this little place truly had nothing worth Reilo's attention.
Even the Blood-Derived Mother Nest at the eye of the storm held nothing new for him. It was much the same as the Blood-Derived Mother Nests he had encountered before.
Though he was slightly disappointed, fortunately, the trip had not been fruitless.
At the very least, as Reilo studied the Black Rhino Ancient Vine more closely, he began to notice some strange properties. When he held the vine, the Mother Nest creatures below seemed especially friendly toward him, even appearing to want to follow him.
Could it represent an affinity with the will of the world?
What a bizarre property. It was also a kind of value scholars could not assess through magic conductivity.
Though the hidden property of this Magic Material held little value in Reilo's eyes, it was still a specimen worth collecting. And judging by how urgently that Black Cat had tried to reclaim it, the ancient vine seemed to hold some special significance. It would make a fine artifact of a lost civilization, too.
And so,
just before his time manifesting through possession ran out, Reilo left the eye of the storm and sent Lina Ya'an back to the Sky Fortress. After reminding An Liya to bring the specimens and materials he had collected back to the Starveil Land, he withdrew his will from Lina Ya'an's body.
As Lina Ya'an let out a muffled groan of pain, An Liya hurried to treat her injuries.
A quarter of the lung in her left chest was gone.
