Witcher: I Can Extract Everything

Chapter 324 Skeleton
After closing the system interface, Heath left the cave.

At this moment, it was noon. The bright sunlight shone down from the sky, causing Heath to subconsciously squint his eyes. This breakthrough had taken him nearly a week. He had spent the entire week in the dark cave. It was inevitable that his eyes could not adapt to the bright light.

Standing on the lush grass, Heath took a deep breath of the surrounding air. In just a breath, he felt a large amount of elemental energy entering his body.

He could clearly hear the system’s notification sound beside his ears.

[Beep, elemental extraction successful. Spiritual Power increased.]

(Beep, elemental extraction successful. Spiritual Power increased.]

This was the difference between an intermediate-rank Wizard and a beginner-rank Wizard. When a Wizard advanced to an intermediate-rank Wizard, their body would undergo a deep elemental transformation. After the deep elemental transformation, the body and the elements would have a strong resonance. A Wizard with such a physique could absorb elements from the natural world anytime and anywhere.

In addition, Heath’s spiritual power naturally extended outwards. The surrounding flowers, trees, land, birds, and everything in the world had established a certain connection with spiritual power. It was as if he could grasp the entire world within it.

“This feeling…”

Heath raised his palm and flipped it back and forth. If he used his spiritual power to observe, he could clearly see that there were dense threads of spiritual power in his palm, and these threads were connected to everything in the world.

“This is really great!”

Subconsciously, Heath raised one of his arms, and along with his movements, he could hear the sound of a fierce wind breaking.

A huge gust of wind suddenly swept over from all directions, bringing sand and stones to the top of his head, forming a thick, dark cloud. The sunny weather had turned dark in the blink of an eye.

From time to time, blue-purple lightning could be seen flashing in the dark clouds, rolling and scuttling in the thick, dark clouds, like purple thunderbolts drifting in the clouds.

After a short pause, Heath’s right hand slashed downwards.

Piak — Boom!

Two short yet violent sounds exploded between the heavens and earth. A bolt of lightning with a diameter of a few meters leaped out from the clouds and struck towards the forest below with a loud bang. Along with the loud bang, the trees and grass on the ground were instantly destroyed by the lightning. A few woodpeckers that were resting on the tree trunks and pecking at the wood did not even have the time to react before they were blown back.

The world seemed to shake violently at this moment.

By the time the dust settled, a huge crater had been blasted into the ground. It was more than ten meters in diameter and nearly half a meter in depth. It looked like a meteorite had fallen. It looked especially terrifying.

Heath opened his mouth and said, “What powerful damage!”

One had to know that this was just his casual use of the elements. He did not chant any spells, did not mix any runes, and did not even use a complete model. He only used a few formulas at the last minute.

To be able to cause such a huge amount of damage with just a little mastery of the elements, one could see how powerful an intermediate-rank Wizard was. “Hmm?”

At this moment, Heath suddenly turned his head and looked in a direction. Just now, he had suddenly felt a few spiritual fluctuations coming from that direction. It was obvious that a Wizard was approaching. With a thought, Heath’s body quickly became transparent and quickly disappeared from where he was. It was just like (Invisibility).

However, if one observed carefully, they would find that his invisibility effect had improved significantly compared to before. He could not see any changes in his vision, but his mind had become more concealed.

In the past, the invisibility spell could only be used against demonized creatures below the Wizard level, but now, even at the Wizard level, they would find it difficult to detect the invisibility spell.

After waiting for a while by a tree trunk, a few whistling sounds suddenly sounded.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Following the sound, a few figures flew over from the distance. Two men and a woman, all three at the Apprentice level, looked to be in their twenties.

The three of them stopped at the open space. One of the golden-haired male Apprentices said, “This is the place!”

He walked over and looked at the big pit. He said in surprise, “What a dense lightning element. Is this a lightning spell? A bolt of lightning created such a big pit. This must be a Wizard. It must be an official Wizard!” The other brown-haired male Apprentice said, “Carrette, but what is the purpose of that Wizard using spells here? This level of magic power is also a considerable consumption of the Wizard, right? But I don’t see any enemies around?”

The first blond Apprentice shook his head and said, “I’m not sure. Maybe he is trying some kind of magic experiment.”

The last female Apprentice looked left and right for a while, and then asked in puzzlement, “But where did that Wizard go? I can’t feel his spiritual power.”

The blond Apprentice said, “He probably left. We’re too late.”

The female Apprentice said, “What a pity. If we had a Wizard to help us, we would definitely be able to get the Heart of the Sea from Skeleton Island.”

The brown-haired male Apprentice said, “Forget it. I don’t want to go to such a place again. Let’s think about the Heart of the Sea on Forest Island. It should be easier here than Skeleton Island.”

“We have to Hurry. It’s getting late. We still haven’t gotten a single one.”

After searching on the spot for a while and failing to find a reason, the three Apprentices quickly left.

After the group of people left, Heath broke out of his invisible state. He could not help but raise his eyebrows as he looked in the direction where they left.

‘Skeleton Island?’

The three of them had just come from Skeleton Island?

It had been two years since Heath had arrived at Forest Island. In these two years, he had arrived near Skeleton Island by boat several times, but he had never landed on it.

This was because Skeleton Island was surrounded by a thick layer of miasma. The miasma contained very high negative energy particles. Even with his strength as a Wizard, he could not guarantee that he would be able to escape unscathed from those negative energy particles, and now, a few Apprentices claimed that they had been to Skeleton Island. This was truly inconceivable. Should I capture them and ask them?’

After thinking for a moment, Heath finally gave up on this idea. After all, he was only an external Wizard and not a local Wizard from the Golden Islands. It was best to keep a low profile.

‘Let’s go to Skeleton Island to take a look first. If it doesn’t work, I can come back and have a chat with them.

Now that he had broken through to the intermediate rank, the miasma surrounding Skeleton Island would no longer have any effect on him. Of course, it was time to go to Skeleton Island…
