Michael used Extraction on more than a hundred Frenzy Deers, the huge Frenzy Deer leader, and the Black Bear.

The Frenzy Deers' Antlers and Monster Cores were stored first before Michael collected the special drops he had extracted.

He stored the bodies of the huge Frenzy Deer and the Black Bear afterward and told Tiara to fill her War Rune's storage space with as many corpses as possible.

On the other hand, Michael's focus shifted to the special drops he had received.

The most common drops were the usual, something he always obtained when he used Extraction on monster corpses. In total, he extracted 1254 Summoning Scroll Fragments, 26 Summoning Scrolls, and 11 Blueprints.

He also extracted a Tierless 1-Star Artifact this time. It was a dark green-colored coin. Michael had no idea what it could do but it was an Artifact, a Tierless 1-Star Artifact though.

While all of that could be considered a pretty good haul, Michael's eyes fell on two familiar items.

Both the huge Frenzy Dear and the Black Bear had dropped a piece of parchment. They showed different areas of the Untamed Jungle's topography.

"Two more pieces of the map? Shouldn't I have most of them by now?" Michael mumbled to himself as he retrieved the three pieces of the map that he had collected until now.

The moment he retrieved the pieces of parchment, the five parchments began to tremble. The parchment exuded a dim white light and the trembling intensified.

An unknown force seemed to be trying to pull the parchments out of Michael's hands and he let them go subconsciously.

In response, the five parchments shot in the air. They stopped mid-air and hovered above Michael's head for a while. After a few seconds of staying still, the parchments began to move towards each other. The strands of fiber at the edges of the parchments wiggled as they tried to connect to the other.

Four parchments moved closer, forming a beautiful map of the Untamed Jungle's topography. Meanwhile, the fifth parchment connected to the underside of the map, where gleaming azure lines manifested. The azure lines felt like streams as they moved from the edges to the center of the fifth parchment where they connected. An array of azure streams formed on the backside, and it emitted an impressive aura.

'A miniature array? That's crazy…'

Michael stared blankly at the map that fell into his hands after the transformation had been completed.

"Oho?!" He exclaimed while his eyes widened.

What had been undetailed and a crude piece of parchment before was now a greatly detailed map of the Untamed Jungle. It didn't show the entire region, but Michael could pinpoint a few areas, such as the former Gogi Lord territory, and the lizard cave.

In one direction, one could even see the outskirts of the Untamed Jungle. That was the direction of the plateau connected to the Untamed Jungle and where Xiltra lay.

But what interested Michael more than the details on the map was the white arrow circled in as a red bubble. When Michael turned around, the arrow turned with him.

At first, Michael thought that it showed his position and that it turned with him to indicate where he was about to go, but that was proven wrong after he took a few steps.

The arrow moved in a different direction when he walked in a straight line.

'It's almost as if it is pointing at something…'

It felt like the arrow wanted him to go in a certain direction.

"Is that a GPS treasure map?"

The more Michael looked at the treasure map the more interesting it seemed. He felt his hands itching and his mind screaming at him, telling Michael to follow the treasure map immediately and enjoy a nerve-wracking adventure with his people.

However, he stopped himself. It was not as if the map would run away from him. The energy influx that spread through his entire body was high and he knew that he wouldn't be able to fight properly in his current condition. He had to digest the energy influx of the two Tier-2 Monsters first. Afterward, he could take a good look at the GPS treasure map.

With that thought, he stored the map back in the storage space of his War Rune. To distract himself, he took a look at the blueprints he had extracted today. Two of them were unusually big, which indicated that the constructions were either much bigger than the norm, or that it was far more complex than ordinary buildings.

The two blueprints were no different from that.

"An…Intermediate Summoning Gate Blueprint…and a Small Teleportation Array blueprint?! What the…" Michael blurted out in shock.

Saying that he was baffled was a gross understatement.

Countless Lords struggled to obtain the blueprints for an Intermediate Summoning Gate. The blueprint was a perishable item that would be used up once learned by the architects and engineers. It would disperse afterward while providing the architects and engineers with the necessary knowledge to dismantle the Basic Summoning Gate and reassemble it with the additional parts to upgrade it.

The Small Teleportation Array was not a consumable item, but it was even more unique than the Intermediate Summoning Gate blueprint. The droprate for the Small Teleportation Array was disgustingly low, and nobody knew for sure which monsters were more likely to drop it. Thus, only a handful of Lords were able to install Small Teleportation Arrays in their territory, with most of them being on the same level as Native Dukes, or Kingdoms.

And an ingenious stroke of luck had blessed Michael with two exceedingly rare blueprints of high value, just like that. He could earn tens of million by selling them, but that would be stupid.

Even auctioning them for a hundred million dollars each would be nonsensical for someone like Michael.

Instead of receiving momentary gains, he should make use of the blueprints for his territory and expand it using both the Intermediate Summoning Gate and the Small Teleportation Array.

With that in mind, he took a short glance at the required items to construct both the Intermediate Summoning Gate and Small Teleportation Arrays.

"Oh fuck!" He cursed almost immediately, "Even the items to construct them are fucking expensive…"

'Looks like I have to postpone their construction for a while,' Michael grumbled in his head before he put the blueprints inside his War Rune.

He then proceeded to look at the last drop he had extracted from the Black Bear's Corpse.

His eyes widened when he looked at the last items and his brain switched off as he blankly stared at the items that were lying on the ground, waiting to be noticed till now.

"Wait…what?! How is that even possible?" He shouted out in a voice loud enough to attract the attention of his subjects.

Tiara turned in his direction and saw Michael staring blankly at a bunch of transparent marbles.

Was there anything special about these marbles? They had something purple swirling inside them, but it didn't seem to be too….

Realization dawned upon Tiara at this moment. Her eyes widened and the hair on her tail shot up. She felt goosebumps spreading all over her body.

Until now, Tiara had only seen the marbles once, and that was when she had been next to Michael.

They had dropped upon extracting Fenrir's body!

Exactly.

Shockingly enough, the inconspicuous-looking marbles were none other than SoulStar Fragments!
