Chapter 386 - 237: Intelligence—Earth Bear Information (2)
One Life Fruit meant little to him now.
This time, he took out the one produced last year, ready for emergencies.
Now, with risks growing further, it was natural to maximize its value.
As for why it was given to Marshall, it’s because among the three Earth Knights, Marshall was the most likely to break through. Being just an ordinary Earth Knight, once he consumed the Life Fruit, there was a significant chance he could advance to the Late-stage Earth Knight within half a month.
In contrast, it wasn’t as easy for him and Reine to break through.
Moreover, a mere breakthrough in level offered limited strength enhancement for them.
Thor needed further understanding of the Law Mark’s power, while Reine needed to attempt mastering the Law Mark’s power.
Only this way could their strength see certain improvement.
Otherwise, a mere increase in Life Source Power would only enhance their endurance in battle but hardly raise their strength ceiling.
Of course, Marshall was unaware of this at the moment.
At that moment, realization dawned on him, and his heart was filled with both excitement and flush as he looked at Thor with gratitude.
He was well aware of what this Life Fruit meant for him.
In his current state, at best, he could only reach the Pegasus Peak of Earth Knight. Breaking through to Sky Knight seemed almost impossible.
He was now sixty years old, and before turning ninety, even if given chances, he would at best reach Earth Knight Peak. Breaking through to Sky Knight at ninety was a pipe dream, as by then, his Life Source Power would have already begun to decline with no possibility left.
But now it was different.
If a Life Fruit could boost him to High Tier Earth Knight, he would definitely reach Earth Knight Peak before seventy, leaving a sliver of possibility to become a Sky Knight.
The nature of things had completely transformed.
Even just the thought of Sky Knight, no matter how remote the possibility, excited Marshall’s heart.
Taking a deep breath, he bowed slightly towards the departing Thor and wasted no time in sitting cross-legged to adjust his condition to the best state.
He understood.
The reason Thor gave the Life Fruit.
He certainly wouldn’t waste it.
Once Marshall consumed the Life Fruit.
Others also began using some supplies Thor brought, as well as resources obtained from the surroundings during this period.
A massive consumption of resources.
One by one, Life Source Power within their bodies surged.
Time slowly passed.
When the morning hours arrived.

"Open!"
[Daily Intelligence Updated]
[1: From the malice of the world, Abyssal Storms sweep across, and your harbor will face a herd of Wild Boars and Tigers after twelve hours. You successfully fend them off, but their meat isn’t fit for human consumption; you abandoned them outside the cave, attracting new beasts—Tier Four Demon Beasts, Black Qi Elephants from the Exotic Realm, attacked your territory, causing heavy casualties for your Knight Order.]
[2: Fifteen hours later, a herd of Silver-Horned Deer Horses appeared thirty miles outside your harbor; their meat is delicious and enhances Life Source Power.]
[3: Three days later, a group of Nobility from Purple Gold Flower in the northwest will pass by your current location, struggling to avoid the Abyssal Storm, but they are ultimately swallowed by it, with only half of their Knight Order surviving.]
[4: Five days later,.......]
[5: Seven days later.......]
[6: Twelve days later, a fully grown Earth Bear gave birth to its offspring in a forest a hundred miles from a large tree to the right of your harbor. With the Abyssal Storm’s arrival, many Demon Beasts gather, and an Earth Dragon has set its sights on the weakened Earth Bear. For distraction, the Earth Bear, with its frail body, attacked the Earth Dragon.]
[7: Thirteen days later, the first wave of Law Fragments descends upon this Exotic World, one of which lands in the Earth Bear’s nest. A Duke’s descendant from the Macedonian Kingdom accidentally obtains this Law Fragment and contracts the Earth Bear, leading to a dramatic increase in strength.]
[8: Fifteen days later, the Abyssal Storm calms, the news of Law Fragments spreads among all nobility, and the slaughter begins; you are attacked. Knights from the Spencer Family discover your trace and launch an assault.]
......
New intelligence emerged, showing significant changes from before.
While resources seem fewer, there’s a lot more danger.
The first item already indicated danger.
Even in the daily intelligence, his Knight Order was described as suffering heavy losses.
It’s imaginable that this loss would be considerable.
And it wasn’t only the first item.
The fourth, fifth, eighth, and ninth items also indicated danger.
In front were Demon Beasts, behind were nobility.
Issues he previously considered now clearly became reality.
Once the Spencer Family found him, they would certainly attack.
After all, the entire instigation started because of him, let alone he also dealt with a Spencer Family direct descendant. Even in Thor’s position, there would be no reason not to act, let alone the Spencer Family.
Yet amidst this peril,
Thor found a surprise.
His gaze fell on the second, sixth, and seventh items.
The second item wasn’t overly beneficial, though it didn’t improve Knight Talent, it could enhance Life Source Power, valuable to Thor’s Knight Order.
Unfortunately, it was too far.
With the Abyssal Storm ongoing, it’s clear it was irrelevant to him now.
As for the sixth and seventh items,
they involved the Earth Bear and Law Fragment.
Thor knew very well what it was.
A top-tier Demon Beast existing on the mainland, a mature Earth Bear was at least a Tier Five, possibly a Tier Six entity. An Earth Bear could rival a Giant Dragon on the entire continent.
Thor never expected to encounter such a powerful Demon Beast as the Earth Bear in the Exotic Realm.
Most crucially, it was a just-born Earth Bear; capturing the chance might mean contracting this Earth Bear.
Just like a Duke’s descendant from the Macedonian Kingdom.
An Earth Bear at Tier Five, with potential to become Tier Six in the future.
Even Thor felt a surge of excitement.
Moreover, not only the Earth Bear, more importantly, there was a Law Fragment at that location. He knew this Kingdom War’s main goal was those Law Fragments.
Traveling there wouldn’t only promise a chance for the Law Fragment but possibly contracting the Earth Bear too.
Under such circumstances, even Thor felt a surge of excitement.
