Chapter 610: Timberdense Flowers (Part 1)

The two of them hurried on their way while swallowing a few pills as they traveled.

After more than half an hour, they finally arrived at the location Kenny Lin had previously tracked.

In front of a valley, surrounded by dense forests, they observed the area.

The valley wasn’t very large.

At its entrance, over a dozen warrior-level Devils stood up guarding the area.

"Why would human cultivators come to this small valley?"

"What’s even stranger is that two leader-level Devils from different cities are working together. Even If they really found human cultivators here, how could a Level 9 Devil City be easily send two leader-level Devils here?"

Amalia crouched behind a rock in the underbrush, finding the situation increasingly odd.

"No profit, no action," Kenny Lin remarked.

"You mean this operation is likely a private action by the two leader-level Devils?" Amalia asked, surprised.

Kenny Lin nodded, "it’s very likely."

For Devils, resources were very important.

Without resources, they couldn’t cultivate or improve their strength.

"Judging by the size of the valley, the profits shouldn’t be substantial enough for two Level 9 Devil cities to share. If it’s not enough, why would the two cities collaborate? If it really required a joint effort between two cities, it should be more than two leader-level Devils that would be involved."

Kenny Lin added, "Of course, this is based on speculation. There might be other reasons."

"I think your guess is plausible. The two leader-level Devils likely discovered this valley’s secret simultaneously and realized humans were involved. They decided to work together to eliminate the humans first before deciding how to split the spoils," Amalia said, eyeing the Devils at the valley entrance and formulating a plan.

"Time is short. Let’s act now. I’ll handle the Devils at the entrance," Kenny Lin decided promptly.

"Alright."

Amalia wasn’t in a rush; she was more concerned about finding the remaining eight leader-level Devils.

If there were two here, she still needed six more.

With about ten days left, she hoped it would be enough time.

Kenny Lin acted swiftly.

The Devils at the valley entrance were annihilated before they could react.

In order to avoid being detected by the Devils nearby, Amalia disposed of the bodies immediately.

Only then did the two of them enter the valley.

The valley was indeed not large, and its entrance was unguarded by the Devils.

Whether this was due to confidence or something else was unclear.

The two of them quickly heard the sounds of battle.

Sneaking into the nearby forest, they observed the fighting groups.

"It seems the human side isn’t doing well," Amalia remarked while raising an eyebrow.

Kenny Lin added, "The only Golden Core cultivator is injured."

"Only a few dozen warrior-level Devils have died, and the two leader-level Devils are still fine," Amalia noted with some relief.

Knowing the leader-level Devils were alive was a relief; they had encountered very few leader-level Devils in the Devil Battlefield so far.

If one were to fall, it would complicate their mission.

Of course, it could also be that they hadn’t ventured deep enough yet.

"Should we intervene?" she asked.

"Not yet," Kenny Lin replied, "Let’s first see what’s going on. We still don’t know what they found in the valley."

"I think I might know why," Amalia said, her gaze fixed on the flowerbed behind the human cultivators.

Following her line of sight, Kenny Lin saw flowers he didn’t recognize. "What are those?"

Amalia explained, "Those are Timberdense Flowers, a type of alchemy material that was suitable for Golden Core stage use. However, the most valuable part of the Timberdense Flower isn’t the flower itself."

"Then what is it?"

"The nectar of the Timberdense Flower, which is secreted only during a full moon. But its secretion is also dependent on the terrain. If the terrain isn’t favorable and the moonlight can’t reach the flowers, they won’t secrete nectar. So, Timberdense Flower nectar is extremely rare. Its growth requirements are very stringent," Amalia said, looking up at the sky above the valley, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

"The terrain of this valley is perfect. On a full moon night, the moonlight should illuminate a large area of Timberdense Flowers, so there must be nectar seeping out. That’s why these Devils are in such a hurry. If their superiors were more observant, they would realize something unusual about this expedition, but unfortunately, they didn’t."

"What benefits does Timberdense Flower nectar have?" Kenny Lin asked.

"The benefits are immense. Timberdense Flower nectar can be used in alchemy or consumed directly. It’s particularly beneficial for Golden Core cultivators. If a Golden Core cultivator is on the verge of breaking through, consuming the nectar can increase their chances of success."

"Can Foundation Building cultivators use it too?" Kenny Lin inquired.

"Of course, they can, but it’s a little bit wasteful," Amalia replied, thinking that Kenny Lin could use the nectar when he was ready to break through, though it could also be useful now.

"They’re still fighting. These human cultivators must have stumbled upon this valley by accident, but they didn’t expect that the Devils to find it one step ahead of them and sent people to guard it."

Kenny Lin’s eyes shifted thoughtfully, "These cultivators aren’t disciples of the Green Lotus Sect. Should we wait for the Devils to kill them, then take action?"

Amalia frowned, contemplating the situation.

The Devils were the common enemy of humans.

If they let the cultivators die without help, it would be disgraceful, especially since the sects were allies.

Such an act, if discovered, could tarnish their reputation.

"Let’s not do that. Who knows if they have special communication methods? We’ll intervene when they’re on the brink of death," she decided.

The Timberdense Flowers were in a conspicuous spot; otherwise, Amalia would have considered sneaking over to inspect them.

"Actually, there’s another way to make the human cultivators willingly give us the Timberdense Flowers," Kenny Lin said with a sly smile.

Amalia was slightly taken aback and hurriedly asked, "What method?"
