Thirty of my strings moved around me, harvesting each resource carefully before sending it into my core, where my avatar would pack them carefully.

  I have reduced my strings by a third as this time, I am not collecting squished and fallen resources but the complete ones that are on the trees. All of them are Grandmaster class resources and need to be harvested very carefully.

  As I looked at the garden, I came to understand it is a private garden of someone, containing all types of plants.

  I had seen the signs of the formation around the trees, all of which had been destroyed by someone. They did not decay over time. If that had been the case, some of the formations would have been still active.

  Over the thousands of years, great changes have occurred in many plants; they have changed elements. It would be right to say they adapted to conditions around them; it is that or die, and I am sure more than 90% of original plants have died.

  These plants are from the seeds of the 10% of plants that had adapted to the energies around them.

  The trickle flame flower left of me is a pure fire elemental plant, but now, there is no red fire burning around the flower as it should be; instead, it is a black flame of death element and the coppery flame of the metal element.

  Some of the rare plants here were even able to take both mental and death elements together, like the agolks roots not far away from me.

  I am slowly walking toward the center of the garden. My speed is even slower than a normal person's, but it is consistent. It is the optimal speed I could walk while harvesting the resources.

  My strings are working at an extremely fast speed, each of the workings even faster than a regular Grandmaster, but they still end up destroying the plant now and then.

  Though it is not their mistake, it is mine as I do not have the correct method to harvest them and thus sometimes end up making a mistake.

  I barely know a quarter of these plants and understand their harvesting method, while for others, it is complete guesswork based on my experience and knowledge.

  If I could slow down more, I could minimize the losses, but unfortunately, I could not. I don't know whether the Bullman will come back or they will send even powerful Grimm Monsters. So, I need to harvest as much as resources as possible and get the hell out of here.

  Still, I have two to three days at the least; even if they appeared very top bronze graveyard with a rune master, they will still take two to three days at least before they could enter this place.

  The resources are just the side dish; the main dish is the two broken dead trees of death and metal element and pond behind. A quarter of which have already been harvested by the Grimm monster.

  I don't know what type of resource the pond has, but it should be important as the elemental death tree for which it risked its life. I am sure if its life hadn't been on the line, it would take the whole trees, not only of death element but also the metal element and all the water in the pond.

  This is a treasure land, and the biggest treasure is the tree that had divided into two. I could already guess what kind of tree it is, but I will have to inspect its detail to be completely sure.

  An hour passed, and I crossed a large distance even with my slow speed; even larger resources, but it would still take me a few hours to reach the center of the garden to the most precious resources.

  On the way, I found a few more bones that did not have the runes and did not give me an extremely dangerous feeling. Aside from the bones, there is one more thing that made me extremely curious, and I want to get my hands on it.

  The stone platforms were all around the garden; there were hundreds of them of all sizes to accommodate every species that became a flesh golem. I think all the golems from above have come from this place.

  Nearly all the platforms are in complete shape, but time is a thing that could erode all. Some of the platforms have felts more than others and broken into pieces; like the bones, I am going to have them before I leave.

  Five more hours passed, and I have finally reached the center of the garden; I had harvested nearly half of the garden, and when I finished with the dead tree and pond behind it, I was going to harvest the other half, leaving not a single resources behind.

  Standing near the place where the two pieces of Frogman, I looked at the tree broken into two parts.

  In energy vision, these two parts of the trees look like a blinding sun, still radiating an immense amount of death and metal energies even after thousands of years.

  Even when I am standing more than three hundred meters away from it, I am feeling immense pressure. So much that if I hadn't been under the protection of the crystal crown, I would have been tearing into the pieces already.

  My goal is to take these plants, and it would not be an easy job even with the protection of the crown, but I have to do it.

  These two parts of the tree are an absolute treasure, and I will have to get them because if I don't, then Grimms will. I am very sure that Grimms would send another team here, and this team would be even more powerful than the one before.

  I do not want to leave such treasure to them, so no matter the price; I will take this tree, not for any purpose than just to imagine the look on the face of the Grimms when they will see the thing they sacrificed so much for this ruin and have already disappeared.

  I will even leave a note behind.
