The Strongest Beast Tamer With the Strongest System-Chapter 32: Holy Tree Heart

At the same time, after the green creature died, the gate in front of the massive tree finally emitted light.

It opened.

But Leonardo didn’t rush forward because Ellie suddenly spoke.

"Boss, I think I understand why it could keep healing its wounds."

"Did you feel something while attacking from inside its body?" Leonardo asked.

"Yes, its heart. That’s what released vitality throughout its body. When I burned the inside of its body, the heart wasn’t affected at all," Ellie answered.

Hearing that, Leonardo knelt beside the green creature’s chest.

With his knife, he tore open its chest, revealing a heart made of roots.

It emitted a faint green glow even though it wasn’t beating.

Before the corpse’s wound could regenerate again, Leonardo cut the heart cells and took it out.

DING!

(Holy Tree Heart; if fused with your body, you will gain endless vitality from any Holy Tree as long as you remain near them. Extremely suitable if you are a Healer.)

A notification appeared.

Healer or not, who wouldn’t be interested in endless vitality?

Even without a Healer Class, although it wouldn’t grant healing abilities, vitality alone would still allow anyone to recover from injuries extremely quickly.

However, it had a clear limitation—which was only natural. Without a limit, its value would be unimaginable.

Leonardo looked at the massive tree.

He had heard of Holy Trees before. They were rare, but not unheard of. Some people had even managed to bring them from the Monster World to Earth by unknown means.

Perhaps the Holy Tree Heart was far rarer. But even without its heart, a Holy Tree still had many benefits. Leonardo had heard that some elderly people had prolonged their lives with the help of such trees.

He just wasn’t sure whether he wanted to replace his own heart with this tree heart.

It didn’t sound comfortable.

Besides, it required a transplant operation.

Leonardo didn’t want to think about it right now.

He teleported to the gate, appeared before it, and stepped inside.

He emerged in a chamber whose walls were covered with glowing green roots.

What he found there—

Was another heart made of roots, resting on a small wooden table.

His eyes widened.

Another Holy Tree Heart.

How could there be two here?

Of course, in places like this, there were always rare treasures capable of changing someone’s life.

Leonardo didn’t hesitate. He took the heart.

If there were two, he could use one and sell the other.

Since there was nothing else inside, Leonardo left the gate.

"Boss, what treasure did you find?" Ellie asked curiously.

"The same thing," Leonardo replied.

"That heart too? How exactly does it work?" Ellie wondered.

"It’s simple. You just install it into your own body. But you have to stay near this tree—a Holy Tree," Leonardo answered.

"So that means you have to carry this giant tree everywhere? How are you going to carry it?" Ellie looked even more confused.

Leonardo couldn’t answer that.

Who would try carrying a tree that big everywhere?

He doubted anyone on Earth could do it.

"Let’s go," Leonardo said, flying into the sky before asking, "Have you seen any other gates like this?"

"The others had already been discovered by someone else when I found them. They might already be cleared," Ellie replied.

"Well, if that’s the case, it looks like we should split up. You focus on leveling up, and I’ll search for treasure," Leonardo said.

"Alright Boss, I’ll level up quickly," Ellie replied enthusiastically.

"By the way Boss, let me touch your necklace so I can recover," she added.

Leonardo didn’t mind. Ellie had used many more attacks earlier, so her energy had dropped significantly.

After touching the necklace and recovering, Ellie flew off in another direction at high speed.

Meanwhile, Leonardo flew randomly—

Until he spotted a massive pitch-black gate, giving the impression of impenetrable steel.

In fact, it looked even larger than the 12th Gate when seen up close.

Even though it remained tightly sealed, many people were gathered around it, studying it. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Leonardo even saw several well-known Awakener figures from City Z near the gate.

Normally, they looked down on coming to Floor 1.

Some of them were bold enough to use their skills in an attempt to unlock the gate, because it clearly required a key. As long as the keyhole could be turned, the gate would open.

Unfortunately, fake keys couldn’t make the keyhole turn.
