Chapter 39: Dialogue Before the Battle
The crowd outside saw Liu Yang enter the room that had a crystal of energy, they were frantic, no matter who it was, anyone who knew about that crystal in the middle of the room, it eyes were red, looked like blood. They wanted to invade the place to be able to get this crystal.
But suddenly someone screamed.
"It's the Base Building Fruit"
A large group turned toward the screen which showed a large tree with several fruits the size of a fist. By the time they saw the tree, those who were more experienced felt that there was something wrong, but they did not know what it was.
"Look! It's senior brother Gu!"
"It's the big brother Wu"
"Big brother Ming"
...
Several people recognized the young people on the screen where there was the Base Building Fruit. They realized that the three had formed a group and were going to get the fruits.
But the next scene left them stunned and afraid. They saw the branches of the tree pierce the bodies of the group, the group could not defend themselves from that speed and were deaths. When that strange creature appeared, it shocked everyone who was staring at the screen, for they could not detect what a creature it was.
...
One group was looking at the screen that was showing the images of the two sisters of the Floating Feather Sect.
"Look! It's sister Mo Qian and sister Mo Qing! They were able to find the location of the water element !!
Some of the girls from of the Floating Feathers Sect were envious looking at this scene, having the opportunity to train in a place like that was a gift from the heavens that could only just found, not wanted.
...
Returning to the present, Li Qing's group was walking slowly toward the site of the fire element. The group made a diamond-like battle line-up while walking, Li Qing in the lead, Gu Meng on the right side, Huang Ziya on the left side, Mo Zun in the middle and Lin Feng in the back.
The group did not find any wild beasts, because in the border area they were few, the number grew as they advanced to the intermediate zones. After a few hours walking on alert, this made them quite tired. The group sought a safe place to set up camp.
There was no distinction between day and night in place, but there was a change in the sky at the time the second place was found, the clouds began to move, the sky became darker, thunder and lightning began to appear in the sky, it seemed that it would begin to rain.
The group were able to find a place that was under a big tree, its top made a shade that totally covered the floor. Each one took out a small items, which soon turned into a small hut for one person.
Lighting a campfire, the group drew wild beast meat for roasting, compared to the meats of the common beasts, the wild beast's meat had special attributes, such as easing fatigue faster, raising basic statistics, recovering the HP or MP more fast, and other effects.
Finishing to eat, three went to sleep, while two were on guard, as Mo Zun was good at tracking, he stayed on guard along with Li Qing. The weather seemed heavy between the two, since no one spoke, just staring at the flames at the fire.
It was when Li Qing could not stand the pressure and decided to start the conversation.
"Brother Mo, what do you think of this person named Indiana Jones?" Li Qing was serious when he talked about it.
Hearing the question, Mo Zun was silent before answering.
"Despite my tracking skills, I could not see through him, it was the same with the academy elders who came with us. No one could see through it, there are three possibilities for this: First is that he carries some item that hides his information, second would be that he had skills that do this and the third would be that someone used his powers to cover it up "
Li Qing pondered a little before answering.
"That was the same thought as mine, but the third possibility is not possible, at least in here. If it were outside, someone powerful could disguise it, but inside, the powers of such a person would not work. Which leaves us with only the first two options. And there's one more thing, I think the name "Indiana Jones" is not the real name, it could be a code that this mysterious faction uses "
"It may be true, before I went into this place, I thought this Indiana Jones was kidding when he said he would complete the challenge, get the juice from the Fruit of Reconstruction to trade with that old salesman. However, after seeing the skills he showed before, I'm almost convinced he can complete this challenge "
"Do you have that same feeling, too? I thought I was the only one. Once we get out of here, we need to send people to investigate this so-called Explorers' Faction, and find out what they are, it's not possible for a faction that can train a person like Indiana Jones to be totally hidden "
"Yes, I'm also curious to know who they are, but we do not have to worry about it because we're not at the level we need to do it. Moreover, probably the people of the headquarters in the main worlds should already be aware of the Faction of the Explorers "
While Li Qing and Mo Zun talked, they occasionally checked the magic traps that were placed around the camp.
Suddenly a sound comes up.
Beep... Beep ...
It was one of the traps that was activated.
"Enemy!! Everybody wake up !!! Prepare for battle !! "
With the cry, the three who were asleep, waking up immediately with air guns in their hands. The group does the diamond-shaped formation, each one was on maximum alert looked towards the trap that was activated.
Tong ... Tong ...
The sound of footsteps arose, the earth began to tremble with every step that was given by the being. In a moment a shadow begins to appear in the forest, the group was able to see the shadow of the creature.
