Chapter 263: Reaction (Part 2)

"How did it end up in my hands? I found it in the Disaster Zone, with bloodstains on it. When you return, you can explain it to the boss by yourself." Manuel Xicola said triumphantly.

"It’s impossible. My wife is very strong. This robe might have been discarded by her," Walter Santiago insisted while clutching the black robe in his hands.

The bloodstains on it had dried, and making them barely visible.

"Stop deluding yourself. If nothing happened to your wife, why hasn’t she returned to you after all this time?" Manuel Xicola didn’t give him a chance and pointing out the grim reality.

"My wife likes to wander around and doesn’t like being constrained. It’s normal for her not to come back for half a month."

"Fine, take your time searching then. Your wife went missing in the southern direction. Follow this line and maybe you’ll actually find her."

Manuel Xicola also didn’t wish for anything bad will happen to Walter Santiago’s wife, but at the moment, the hope seemed bleak.

"In addition, the boss sent me to assist you in capturing the Lumina Scale Komodo. I’ve already investigated the situation with that student. She’s just an ordinary person, and the most likely scenario is that the Lumina Scale Komodo was taken by Heavenly Path University."

....

"Miss Vanquez, there really are Fierce Destructor Rocs here. I saw it with my own eyes this morning." Fabio Zelaya led Amalia to a high point, and overlooking a small valley blocked by dense branches and twigs.

The Fierce Destructor Roc had a beak like a diamond and sharp limbs like blades.

Its bones and muscles were bulging, presenting a grey-black color.

At first glance, its entire body seemed covered in an extremely hard layer of black steel.

These birds whose body were entirely made of treasures, even their feathers were materials for refining spiritual artifacts.

Due to their rarity, they can only found in Advanced level Disaster Zones, so the prices for buying and selling them in the market were always high.

Amalia had helped them a lot, so Fabio Zelaya and the others all wanted to repay the favor to her.

Since she’s an Artificer, giving her materials for refining an Artifact was the most appropriate way to do it.

Ordinary materials wouldn’t be considered much of a gesture, so they sought out special materials instead.

After a day of searching, they actually found the existence of the Fierce Destructor Roc.

Early this morning, they called Amalia out and brought her here.

Amalia examined the terrain.l, "The Fierce Destructor Rocs can fly, so capturing them isn’t easy."

This was one of the reasons why the market price for Fierce Destructor Roc materials had always remained high.

"As long as we lure it out, we’ll be able to capture it," Fabio Zelaya confidently stated.

"What method do you have?" Amalia asked curiously.

Gustavo Herrera grinned, "Miss Vanquez, you might not know, but we’ve been training in Disaster Zones for quite some time. Our predecessors have taught us techniques and weaknesses of some mutated creatures, like what Fierce Destructor Rocs like to eat."

"Yes, Fierce Destructor Rocs love to eat something called Astringent Soul Berrys. These berry have an extremely sour taste and a very tough shell. They mainly grow on cliffs and emit a special fragrance when ripe, a fragrance that only Fierce Destructor Rocs can smell."

As he spoke, Fabio Zelaya took out a purple colored berry from his pocket.

This berry was the Astringent Soul Berry.

Its shell was very hard, only the tough beak of an Fierce Destructor Roc could peck it open.

"I happen to have one Astringent Soul Berry here, which we can use to lure out the Fierce Destructor Roc."

"These berry must be quite expensive to buy on the market," Amalia didn’t expect them to be so well-prepared.

Fabio Zelaya shook his head, "We didn’t buy it; I found it while training in the Disaster Zone before. Since I wasn’t confident in catching the Fierce Destructor Roc, I never used it. Miss Vanquez, you’ve helped us so much, and we have no way to repay you except with this Astringent Soul Berry."

"You don’t have to do this. Helping you isn’t without its benefits for me," Amalia understood as soon as she heard this.

"That’s different. If our lives were lost, no matter how much we have, it wouldn’t matter." Fabio Zelaya referred to the incident where Amalia saved them.

Understanding that these people had their own principles, Amalia didn’t refuse them further.

She accepted the Astringent Soul Berry and began directing everyone to set up the trap.

She chose a location that wasn’t too open, so it can limiting the space for the Fierce Destructor Roc to maneuver.

They were fortunate to find a cave not far from the valley.

The cave was relatively spacious, able to accommodate many people, and conveniently located near the cliff’s edge.

With everyone working together, they set up the trap and quietly waited for the Fierce Destructor Roc to take the bait.

Half an hour later, Gustavo Herrera, who was keeping watch outside, rushed in, and said something while lowering his voice.

"It’s here."

A few minutes later, a larger shadow fell into the cave.

It was the silhouette of the ferocious bird.

Just by its shadow, they could feel the sharpness of its four limbs.

The Fierce Destructor Roc hesitated to enter, its sharp beak cautiously sniffing around outside, seemingly confirming whether the Astringent Soul Berry was inside the cave and if there were any ambushes nearby.

It was quite cautious, but in the end, it couldn’t resist the temptation of the Astringent Soul Berry.

With a metallic gleam to its head, the Fierce Destructor Roc poked its head into the cave.

Its black eyes were lit up when its spotted the Astringent Soul Berry that was lying in the corner of th cave, and its suspicion decreased significantly.

Amalia had deliberately studied the placement of the Astringent Soul Berry.
