Chapter 749 Forest Exploration
The fact that a Second Grade blazefire spirit had been taken down so easily was well beyond Greem’s expectations.
However, the very next second, the surprise on Greem’s face was replaced by deep terror.
[Beep. Warning. Detecting chaotic energy signals. Countdown to fire core explosion: 5…4…]
“Toss it…toss it fast.”
Greem was already mentally connected with the Flame Fiend. Thus, the Flame Fiend swung its arm and threw the Second Grade fire core into the distance with all its strength the very moment Greem sensed something wrong with the fire core.
[2…]
That was the final medium that carried their consciousness core!
Once it was destroyed, the last trace of their existence would also be wiped away. Such ferocity and determination was not something possible for ordinary individuals!
Greem stood upon the high fire elementium altar for a while. He finally relaxed once he was sure that the spatial fluctuations had wholly vanished and that no signs of an invasion from another world were going to appear.
He opened his palms. The golem core of the Flame Fiend of Terror rested in his left hand, while three First Grade fire spirit cores rested in the right. The difference in grades and the absolute overwhelming of power had caused these three First Grade fire spirits to be destroyed and their cores taken before they could even self-destruct.
Now that they had fallen into Greem’s hands, they could no longer self-destruct of their own free will, even if their soul consciousness was still attached to the fire cores!
However, Greem couldn’t help but frown when he lifted up the golem core for further inspection.
He had the Chip do a complete scan of the Flame Fiend’s golem core and finally got a more detailed report. The core couldn’t be completely repaired without at least an entire month of work.
This expedition hadn’t been entirely worth it!
He had obtained three First Grade blazefire spirit cores, but he had also caused the core of his Second Grade Flame Fiend to be damaged. This was an unprofitable trade!
No wonder adepts liked to go in groups when exploring other worlds; it was because the risk involved was so huge.
Greem shook his head and sighed. He could only turn and leave the secret room.
Let the next exploration of the Fire Elementium Plane be one month from now then!
…………
The forest was full of trees, tall and massive.
An adventure group of five individuals was cutting their way through the bushes and making their way through the Black Forest with much difficulty.
The person responsible for opening a path was a bald and muscular man of great stature. He wore leather armor and held a machete in his hands. He cut through the crisscrossing vines with difficulty and used his massive body to make a winding little path in this dense forest, slowly advancing.
Four odd individuals of various sizes stood behind him, all covered in thick, black cloaks.
The group walked along silently. Apart from some panting from the bald man, no other sounds could be heard.
“Where are we now? How much further is it from that Serpentfowl Cliff?”
Suddenly, the thinnest individual of the group couldn’t help but ask.
Judging from the voice, it was a pretty, young woman.
“Eco, shush! This is the Black Forest. It’s best not to make any sound before we discover any danger.” The largest person among the four individuals in black cloaks scolded softly. His tone wasn’t severe, but it possessed a prestige that commanded respect.
“It’s fine, boss. We all know how good you are! This is just the edge of the Black Forest. Could there even be any threat to you?” The black-robed individual at the rear of the group had almost been driven insane by the severe and unbearable environment of the forest. He took off his hood and started taking in the cold and humid air.
They were all apprentice adepts with ‘weak’ Physiques. They would collapse after a quarter of a kilometer in the Black Forest if they were in metal armor. As such, with only light robes to protect them, they had to put on another layer of thick traveler’s cloak to protect themselves from the sharp thorns and branches.
The direct consequence of this was that every one of them was dying from the heat!
The person called the ‘boss’ was naturally the young pseudo-adept with dark affinity– Ponta.
This time, he was personally leading four of his closest subordinates to Serpentfowl Cliff. Naturally, their goal was the delicious serpentfowl eggs. Of course, this was the serpentfowl mating season. If they could steal one or two serpentfowl chicks from their nests, they would make a killing with this venture!
However, serpentfowls were still pseudo-adept magical creatures. If their tracks were exposed, it would become much more difficult to escape unscathed.
That was the main reason Ponta had asked his team members to sneak about silently!
