Chapter 394
Chapter 394 Conspiracy and Forest Spirit
Greem betrayed an expression of surprise when he saw the cat move.
It hadn’t used any spatial magic, but its body disappeared and reappeared here and there as if it was passing through different dimensions. When Greem closed his eyes to sense the cat’s existence, he heard no trace of its footsteps. In fact, he couldn’t even detect the essential aura of soul and blood that every lifeform should possess. The cat was like a realistic illusion that had been created through the use of magic. There was absolutely no magical information that Greem could lock onto to keep track of the creature.
No energy flux, no magical flux, no body heat, no soul aura.
This black cat was quite the extraordinary one!
…………
Starting a slaughter in the Black Forest was not a wise decision.
The best course of action when running into a magical creature was to avoid them. The blood stench of killing a magical being would attract all predators within a radius of several dozen kilometers. A peaceful venture into the forest would then turn into an endless butchering of magical creatures.
Greem tapped his staff against the ground, and the crimson crystal flared up like a torch. He led Sabrina into the tunnel without any hesitation.
There wasn’t much room in here. Water even dripped from the ceiling. However, the elementium particles in the air appeared to be excessively active and lively. There was something wrong.
The tunnel continued to wind downwards as if it was leading straight into the belly of the mountain.
The winds blowing in their faces were chilling. A musty smell mixed with them.
The intense rumbling happened two more times. Dirt fell on them as they moved through the tunnels. Dust would have wholly covered Greem if it wasn’t for his cloak and the Ring of Fire.
The two of them awkwardly stumbled out of the tunnel into a massive natural karst cave. A towering stone pillar stood before Greem and Sabrina’s eyes, shielding them from the strong elementium tides in the distance.
Shouts and intense elementium explosions came from the other end of the cave.
“Come over quick!” The voice was slightly hoarse and distorted by the echoes of the cave, but Greem could still recognize it as Gargamel’s ear-piercing voice, “I’ve wounded it. Quick! Come here and stop it from running away.”
His voice seemed rather urgent. It looked like the battle was extremely close.
Greem strode ahead and was shocked by the scene before his eyes when he walked past the stone pillar.
A frail and withered body stood alone in the middle of the cave. Two large clusters of faint yellow light floated near Gargamel. The two balls of light emitted the sounds of elementium explosions and intense elementium flux.
All the fighting sounds and elementium shockwaves he had heard and felt from the outside had all been fabricated!
Greem stopped dead in his tracks. He tapped his staff against the ground and the Ring of Fire that had been hidden within his body immediately surfaced. Powerful fire elementium swiftly gathered towards him.
“Gargamel, what are you doing?” Greem stared at the frail figure with cold eyes, “Was everything a lie you made up?”
Sabrina stopped by the stone pillar. She looked at every corner of the cave fearfully and slowly backed away.
With how weak she was, Sabrina had no right to interfere in a battle between adepts.
Regardless of whether this was a conspiracy, it would be best for her to hide in the distance!
“Kehkehkeh. It isn’t easy to wait for a lonesome adept like you to show up! The five years I have spent waiting here in Pinecone Town hasn’t been in vain. Finally, I can reap the rewards.” Gargamel couldn’t help but let out a sinister laugh. His greedy eyes fell upon the magical equipment on Greem’s body.
Greem’s face turned dark.
“Gargamel, who gave you the courage to ambush an adept of the same Grade here? Get your companion to come out! I don’t believe you would dare to pull something like this off with your weak powers and cowardice.”
“Hehehe… ” A crisp, sweet voice rang out in the cave all of a sudden, “Gargamel, this guy knows you pretty well, doesn’t he?! He even managed to figure out your cowardly personality.”
An invisible shape slowly revealed itself on the top of the cave as the voice rang out.
It was a beautiful green phantom that appeared to be translucent. She had a perfect figure with perfect curves, as well as a body that seemed to have been made out of glowing green lights. She was completely naked, but the magical patterns and flowers that grew all over her body were just enough to cover the important parts of her body.
Her hair was soft flower branches flowing in the wind. Four or five intertwined vines formed her hands. Countless roots split off at the ends of her legs. These roots were even waving in the wind as they let out faint green lights.
A forest spirit!
Gargamel hadn’t been lying when he said there was a forest spirit!
Greem gasped in his heart when he looked up and saw this strange lifeform.
