At the foot of the slope, Su Xiao sat in the pitch-black night, surrounded by utter darkness. He chose not to make a fire, without a cave-like refuge, lighting a fire in the Red Soil Area was asking for death. Though he drank plenty of water, his stomach still growled with hunger. After taking off his backpack, there was only a small piece of jerky inside. After eating the jerky, Su Xiao felt hungrier instead of relieved. Taking out the iron box containing the Alchemy Secret Medicine, Su Xiao carefully retrieved the Golden Fruit from it. He had been in too much of a hurry earlier to check the Golden Fruit’s attributes. After checking the attributes of the Golden Fruit, he felt like he’d hit the jackpot. Type: High Tier Plant Fruit, Material, Recovery Food, Enhancement Item. Note: This is a rare item and can be exchanged for World Source. Usage Method 1: Directly consume this fruit to gain the following permanent enhancement effects, Life Value +100, Mana Value +100, Flame Resistance +15%, Frost Resistance +15%. Usage Method 2: This item can be refined into an enhancement item. Note: Consuming or drinking a potion prepared with either method will restore 100% Life Value and 100% Mana Value within one minute. Note: The fruit will dissipate two days after detachment from the host. Description: Wherever the Sun Grace Fruit is found, there are sure to be powerful creatures nesting nearby. Many powerful creatures use the juice of the Sun Grace Fruit to feed their young, making their offspring stronger and growing faster. Su Xiao held the [Sun Grace Fruit] and fell into contemplation. The fruit’s effects were strong, directly consuming it would have the effect of Life Value +100 and Mana Value +100, as well as increasing resistance to fire and ice. More importantly, this is unprocessed initial material, after preparation, the effects will be stronger. Eating this fruit directly would be convenient, but would waste its true value. Su Xiao’s Alchemical Potion Study was Level 20; he was obsessed with Sword Technique, too lazy to further develop pharmacology, but that didn’t mean he didn’t understand it. On the contrary, Su Xiao was very knowledgeable about pharmacology; he had a wealth of knowledge in his mind about it. The current location was not suitable for potion preparation, at the very least, he needed to find a cave, and also a trustworthy guard, as he needed to be fully focused when preparing the potion. Of course, there was a trustworthy guard. Although that guy was a bit goofy, the guard was quite far away from Su Xiao’s location. Putting away the [Sun Grace Fruit], Su Xiao got up and continued forward, intending at least to meet up with Bubute Ni. Though that fool’s hiding ability was decent, their combat strength was unimpressive, at least that’s what Su Xiao thought. After five hours of travel, Su Xiao arrived near the Yasenman Tribe, he could vaguely see the firelight of the Yasenman Tribe. Su Xiao did not enter the tribe directly, Bubute Ni was also not in the tribe; he previously said to meet near the Yasenman Tribe. Old Bar was not worthy of trust, Su Xiao returned here only to explore the secrets of the Yasenman Tribe and to obtain the Compass. Su Xiao, holding a thin Wooden stick, found an animal’s bone nearby and started rhythmically using the wooden tube to tap the bone. After about ten minutes of tapping, the rustling sound appeared, and a sneaky figure approached. Bubu sneaked over, having already realized how terrifying the Red Soil Area was without Su Xiao nearby. Due to the darkness, Su Xiao couldn’t clearly see the appearance of Bubu Wang, but after Bubu Wang eagerly pounced, he found Bubu Wang’s color had changed. At this moment, Bubu Wang, originally black and white, had turned gray-black, not due to a change in fur color, but because Bubu Wang was covered in a layer of mud. Bubu Wang barked excitedly, wagging its head and tail as it circled Su Xiao, full of anticipation as if saying: ’Master, do you have food? I’m starving.’ Unfortunately, Su Xiao was similarly famished. Su Xiao was covered in dried blood, and Bubu Wang was smeared with mud, both so hungry they were weak. Successfully reuniting with Bubu Wang, Su Xiao decided to first address hygiene and sustenance issues. Letting Bubu Wang wait in place, Su Xiao walked alone toward the Yasenman Tribe. Ten minutes later, he returned, carrying a ’big pot’. This ’pot’ was crudely made, and strictly speaking, it wasn’t a pot but a round shield made from polished metal ore, merely shaped like a pot. Meeting with Old Bar, he politely declined the offered food, as he and the Yasenman Tribe were only in a cooperative relationship, and food in the Red Soil Area was precious, especially since the Yasenman Tribe’s food was all ’suspicious’. There was a mountain spring near the Yasenman Tribe, and with access to pure fresh water, obtaining food with Su Xiao’s wilderness survival skills was not difficult. Tomorrow was the day the Yasenman Tribe would go to war with the Insect Tribe, he and Old Bar had an agreement to venture into the Insect Tribe’s nest after the war, in return for the compass pointing to the cliff stone bridge. Thus, tonight needed to be devoted to adjusting his state, because from tomorrow, Su Xiao would begin exploring the secrets of the Yasenman Tribe. Seeing Su Xiao carrying a ’pot’, Bubu Wang seemed to have a series of question marks floating above its head, looking at Su Xiao with big watery eyes, a bit helpless, as if saying: ’Master, I gnaw on iron as a hobby, but I don’t eat iron.’ "Let’s go, I’ll take you for a feast." Su Xiao, with Bubu Wang still puzzled, went to the mountain spring nearby, a clear mountain spring flowed down, where Su Xiao stood under the spring to wash his body. Washing away the dried blood, Su Xiao felt much refreshed. Bubu Wang reluctantly stood under the spring; it didn’t want a bath because the spring water was too cold. The clear mountain spring water washed the dirt off Bubu Wang, and before long, its usual lively spirit returned, revealing its shiny black and white fur. After a bath, Bubu Wang looked at Su Xiao, only to find Su Xiao had disappeared, forcing Bubu Wang to wait in place. Half an hour later, Su Xiao returned carrying a large bird and several kinds of green plants. The bird was half a meter long, not a flying bird but a running one; this thing ran incredibly fast and was caught by Su Xiao using traps. Making a fire, using the shield that looked like a pot to boil a pot of water, Su Xiao placed the chopped bird meat into the pot, along with a few mushrooms and some green leafy vegetables. An hour later, a pot of fragrant mushroom vegetable and meat soup was ready, even with only salt as a condiment, Bubu Wang devoured half a pot. After drinking the last bit of soup, Bubu Wang lay contentedly on a rock. After being separated from Su Xiao, it had been lost in the Red Soil Area, not knowing where to go, not daring to run around, without food or water, and during its journey, it had fallen into a swamp, nearly being swallowed by it. Having taken a bath and drunk half a pot of meat soup, Su Xiao’s stamina quickly recovered, and with Bubu Wang nearby, the Ice and Snow Goddess’ Aura began accelerating the recovery of his injuries. "Only a few days in and it’s this dangerous. Are all the other Contractors in the Ordinary Area? A bunch of lucky guys." Su Xiao guessed right; of the 402 surviving Contractors, 380 were in the Ordinary Area. Some Contractors who parachuted into the Black Forest were already dead within half an hour of landing, the Red Soil Area was slightly better, strong individuals could survive here, but it also eliminated many Contractors lacking strength. Finding a cave in the Yasenman Tribe, Su Xiao sealed the entrance. The firelight brightly lit the inside of the cave; Bubu Wang sat at the entrance, ears perked up, acting as a guard.

Su Xiao held the [Sun Grace Fruit], contemplating how to concoct it.
