Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

Before long, Rebecca groaned and seemed to have regained her consciousness. Upon noticing that she was about to open her eyes, Zachary immediately placed a hand over them to stop her and said, "Don't open your eyes for now. You might get burnt. I'll help you fuse the natural energy fire into your body, so stay still."

Hearing his words, Rebecca decided to listen to him and keep her eyes close. She slowly began to merge the power of the natural energy fire with the help of Zachary.

About four hours later, a warm feeling started surging inside her. At the same time, she could feel that besides the martial energy, there seemed to be a foreign energy creeping inside her body. It was completely different from the initial martial energy.

However, at this precise moment, an Ice Needle was shot straight into her neck. With a soft moan escaping her lips, she fell back into unconsciousness.

It turned out that it was Anne who did this. She had stayed beside them all the time. "Take her away this instant." Anne motioned to Zachary. Then, she turned her heel and disappeared behind the wall.

Zachary immediately held Rebecca and safely wrapped her in his arms. Soon, he carried her and they both left the Living-dead Tomb to go back to the weapon refining room. There, Rebecca could recover in no time.

"How is everything? Is she okay?" Queenie asked in a worried tone the moment she noticed Zachary carrying Rebecca back into the room.

Zachary nodded and handed over the patient to Queenie. "She's going to be fine. I will take you away from here, and then you can take her to your room so that she can have a good night's rest. If there is anything else that needs to be discussed, let's talk about it tomorrow. The most important thing for her is to regain her strength. For now, we shall leave this place. Close your eyes," he ordered in a gentle but firm manner.

After taking a skeptical look at the man, Queenie closed her eyes obediently. Zachary immediately ushered them out of the weapon refining room and returned to the place where they had fought with the Demonic Flower Beast prior to this.

When she opened her eyes again, the ruined land in front of her greeted her and she felt a lingering fear running down her spine.

After Queenie sent Rebecca back, Zachary returned to the system once more. Since he had just merged the energy fire with the wood element into his body, he naturally had to familiarize himself with it first.

Now, he possessed two different kinds of energy fire burning in his body. They were the energy fire with the metal element and the energy fire with the wood element.

The most important thing about the energy fire was that it would decide the capability of a weapon. For example, the MH weapon refined by the energy fire with the metal element would usually possess a strong, murderous and destructive power, while the energy fire with the wood element could make the weapon have the great control ability. Thus, it would be very suitable for refining hidden weapons.

In order to test out the unique features of the energy fire with THE wood element for himself, Zachary brought out some materials and returned to the weapon refining room. He then summoned the Heavenly Golden Furnace and placed the materials into it. At the sam

he power of the energy fire with the wood element now," Zachary cut in at that time to remind Rebecca of her capability. He was also very excited to see her performance first hand.

"Oh, is that so?" Rebecca murmured in a hesitate tone as she glanced at Zachary with uncertainty.

"Just do it according to the cultivation formula of the energy fire. You'll be fine," Zachary encouraged her as he nodded.

Courage seemed to have filled her heart the moment after. Rebecca raised her palm, focusing herself solely on this task and began to condense the energy fire. A few moments later, the cyan energy fire immediately appeared in her palm, rising and burning, dancing in the air.

"Wow, you're really able to do that!" Queenie exclaimed in surprise upon seeing what had happened. Her eyes were wide open, which suggested that even she was excited from the promising results.

As Rebecca stared at the burning energy fire, her lips curled into a relieved smile. Being grateful, she turned to Zachary and said, "Thank you very much. If it were not for you, I really wouldn't know when I could process my own energy fire."

"There is no need to thank him. He just made amends for his previous faults by making good deeds to you!" Queenie spat coldly at once. She would never let any chance of teasing Zachary go unused.

Zachary did not rebuked back. He just smiled calmly as a response.

"The value of the energy fire is no less than that of a powerful weapon. It is extremely important for a weapon refiner such as yourself." Of course, Rebecca was too well aware of the value and importance of such energy fire. Although she had a narrow escape last night, it was also worth it in exchange for the energy fire that every weapon refiner dreamed of.

"Well, I also want to have my own energy fire," Queenie murmured. She was somewhat envious and wanted to create her own energy fire as well. She turned to look at Zachary. Although she did not ask for it directly, there was an eagerness in her eyes which suggested that she was desperate to gain the energy fire as well. It all seemed that she was implying Zachary that he should also find a chance to earn her the energy fire as well.
