Mystical Journey

“You can’t say? But you can be sure he’s here, right?” Boss Ron laughed coldly, he had lived bluntly for several hundred years, and he did not survive by just messing around.

Bluntness had its advantages.

For example…

He abruptly raised his hand, and smashed it down.

With a rumble, a huge tremor scattered and spread from his hand into the ground.

The surface of the ground split apart, the grass and shrubs shattering into countless pieces and green or yellow liquids, the soil turned over, some of it covering the stones and grass left on the ground.

With Boss in the center, clouds of cold white frost spread from underneath his fist and into all directions, like extremely voracious white insects that were trying to escape from Boss’ palm, crawling away everywhere.

“Resonance Skill! Great Frost Fist!!!”

Boss roared, and his palm exerted even more force into the ground. A halo of ice-blue light spread with him in the center, and it flowed like water, soundlessly and tracelessly.

But everything that the ice-blue halo covered soon became a terrifying sight, all frozen in ice like a statue.

The blue halo covered almost a hundred meters before it gradually slowed down.

“Ron Belle, you crazy mother*cker!” Second Brother Barlow nearly could not dodge in time, and was almost caught in the blast. Presently, he flew in the air, cursing as he looked down.

If he had not been fast enough, this fist would probably have hurt him as well.

“Didn’t you say he’s in this area? Why shouldn’t I force him out?” Boss Ron grinned, looking very rough and wild.

Although black shadows concealed his face, his smile could still be vaguely seen.

“Can’t you say something before you strike!!?” said Second Brother Barlow angrily.

“If I say something first, what if that guy hears it? It’ll be useless then, right?” Boss chuckled. “If even you didn’t know I was going to strike, of course that guy wouldn’t either.”

Suddenly, a black bee flew out from a corner at the side, darted in front of Second Brother, and stopped there.

“Eh?” Second Brother paused slightly, and looked at the black bee, as though he was exchanging information with the little thing.

As the information exchange went on, his gaze slowly fell on a corner at the bottom. There were faint traces of digging there.

“Could it be….?”

He frowned slightly.

“What’s the matter? Did you find out anything?” Boss Ron flew up and floated not far beside him.

“Shh!” Barlow raised his hand and said impatiently. His gaze kept wandering at the bottom, as though he wanted to look straight through the thick crust, and peer into the depths of the earth.

All of a sudden, his gaze swiveled back in an instant, his eyes widening abruptly.

“It’s here!! Do it!!”

With a sharp bark, Barlow put his hands together and pressed them onto the ground.

“Earth Blanket Mark!!”

A huge and transparent mark smashed mercilessly into the part of the ground that had been dug up.

“Snowstorm Palm!!” Boss followed up with a fierce hit without a shred of hesitation.

The clean and white palm imprint gathered, and landed immediately after the previous one.

Bam!!!

The floor of the forest that had been split apart and frozen was hit again by this tremendous attack, and all of the trees and plants that had already become ice statues immediately shattered into countless shards of ice, with a sound as though someone had smashed countless glasses at the same time.

In an instant, several hundred or even a thousand pieces of glass were shattered, creating a terrifyingly piercing sound.

The clear white, transparent shards of ice scattered everywhere, and the thousands of ice shards spread out in all directions like rain.

Looking down from mid-air, it looked as though a large chunk had been ripped out of the whole forest, as though a set of huge white jaws had taken a bit out of the center, leaving traces of white on the edges.

After it was hit by the huge imprint and the Snowstorm Palm, one after the other, the traces of digging on the ground were revealed to be even clearer.

“Found him!” Boss and Second Brother exchanged a glance, mercilessness flashing through both their eyes, as they flew towards the ground at the same time.

*****************

Pfft!

A huge tremor smashed into Garen, who was in the middle of gathering Sunlight, and caused him to spew out a mouthful of blood.

The inside of his body seemed to sway. Having just gathered nine hundred rays of sunlight, Garen’s body was practically an actualized bomb storage, the slightest mistake could lead to a catastrophic explosion. This power had already surpassed the Half-Moon Level, and may even have reached Full-Moon Level. He did not know what was the grade above Half-Moon, he just knew that the Sunlight energy in his body had reached unprecedented levels.

Even his Soul Seed had been suppressed to an extent like never before, retreating slightly into the deepest depths of his mind.

The two Energy Machine Imprints behind Garen had materialized completely, supporting his Willpower at full strength to help the Scarlet Snow Technique in adjusting the transport and gathering of the Sunlight energy.

Yes, it was just adjusting, the Tenth Grade of the Scarlet Snow Technique could not even support the process. The fundamental difference in quality was too large, so all it could do was help with a tiny bit of the adjustments.

Boom!!

There was another tremor, reaching him underground.

“I was discovered?!” A deep sense of danger rose in Garen’s heart, he had no more time to think, so he hurriedly hastened his speed. His progress with the secret method had already been advancing at a terrifying speed, but now he could only think it was too slow.

The faster his gathering speed grew, the more familiar he became with the process.

Garen could already hear the sounds of people digging down from above.

*****************

Arooo~~

There was the strange sound of a wolf’s howl.

Boss and Second Brother were digging down in a hurry, they had both released a pangolin Energy Machine that they were using to dig quickly. At their level, even though the pangolins were not the Energy Machinery they controlled, and they could not upgrade them, the two of them were still more prepared in terms of using chips to expand the functions of the Energy Machinery.

Among their Space Equipment, they had things that could dig, dive underwater, or fly in the air. They had prepared all sorts of Energy Machinery with all sorts of functions. However, as long as these were not Energy Machinery that they themselves controlled, not Energy Machinery that came out of their Biochemical Pools and experimental platforms, then they would not be able to grow stronger as the user grew stronger.

Just then, both of them had heard the wolf howls, but they ignored the sounds completely. This was the mutated radiation zone, all sorts of wild animals could appear here. A few wolves were nothing.

But what the two of them did not expect was for the howls to increase in number and power, and decrease in distance from them!

“They’re that kid’s Energy Machinery!”

Second Brother Barlow hazarded a guess.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, several Black Wolves dashed out diagonally from the side, pouncing straight for the two pangolins.

“You asked for it!”

Boss Ron Belle grabbed out with one hand, and instantly huge waves of the Great Frost Fist exploded forth, as though he held two huge snowballs in his hands and smashed them at the same time.

With two bangs, the snowballs crashed into the Black Wolves, and the gust of snow instantly tore the Black Wolves into shreds, as though the snow was made of knives.

But within that instant, several more Black Wolves rushed at them madly.

And they could see even more Black Wolves coming up from the back.

Second Brother Barlow released a slightly red round imprint, and suddenly shot towards a Black Wolf like lightning.

With a clang, the Black Wolf’s whole body burst apart, turning into a rain of blood that scattered everywhere. The blood rain landed onto the other Black Wolves around it, and constantly corroded these Black Wolves’ bodies.

But this did not stop more Black Wolves from rushing at the two of them, and the speed of the blood rain’s corrosion was nowhere near as fast as the speed of their sprinting.

Second Brother Barlow’s expression did not look good.

“They’re all Level Five! How can there be so many of them!?”

“These are Winter Night Wolves!” Boss recognized these wolves, their basic foundations were already very powerful, and then after that woman gifted them to that newbie, the Level Four Winter Night Wolves had somehow gone straight to Level Five. They had never heard of such upgrading speed!

For every piece of Energy Machinery they wanted to upgrade, they would need to gather many materials and power-ups for the Biochemical Pool before they could cross the level boundary. And that guy was just a rookie, but he could increase the Winter Night Wolves by one level so soon after becoming a Three-Hearted disciple.

“Leave this to me, you dig!”

Boss instantly made the decision, and rushed out to meet the Wolf Pack.

He lashed out with his Giant Frost Fist again and again, and with each punch, several Black Wolves would instantly collapse to the ground immediately shattering into pieces.

Second Brother Barlow controlled the pangolins, and tried to continue digging quickly. But he did not think that the Black Wolves were so quick, they had already grievously injured the pangolins with their bite, and were now closing in for the kill.

“Scram!”

Second Brother hurriedly released an imprint that killed two Black Wolves with a jolt, and then he looked at the dying pangolin with frustration. In the end, he just decided to smash more and more transparent imprints into the ground.

With every smash, large amounts of soil and stones would be sent flying up, landing at his sides.

Sometimes there would be a few Black Wolves, not many, that would try to approach him, but the black bees around him ate them all, leaving only a pile of clean bones behind.

Arooo~~~

More wolf howls sounded out, one after the other.

“Damn it, just how many Energy Machines does this kid have!!?” Boss had already consecutively killed more than thirty Black Wolves, but he could still faintly see more wolf eyes sparkling in the woods.

Second Brother was shocked as well, an Energy Machinist beneath Inherited Level should not have more than ten Energy Machines, and the scene before his eyes was making him feel slightly cold. This guy was only Level Five, and he could already own several dozen Level Five Machines, then when he reached New-Moon Levels, wouldn’t he have several dozen New-Moon Wolves rushing at Barlow? Barlow could handle several dozen Level Fives, but what about several dozen New-Moon Levels? That was beyond what he could handle!

He glanced at Boss’ direction, and saw that Boss’ eyes were slightly cold as well. He had evidently thought of the same thing.

The two of them did not say anything, but the moment their gazes met, they understood what the other was planning.

Second Brother did not say anything. After he had the bees surround and protect him, he quickly took out a small white circular board. After he tapped it a few times, the circular board lit up with a blue electronic light. With a whir, it rose from Second Brother’s hands, floating into the sky.

And then, it fell downward abruptly.

Ker-chak!

The round board embedded itself into the ground.

With a buzz, the entire board exploded into dust, and the dust scattered, landing on the two of them as well as the countless Black Wolves around them. Some of the dust even went through the soil, as though they were illusions, falling deeper into the ground.

After using this thing, the two of them instantly began to kill the Wolves even faster, each of their movements showing a cold killing intent.

Time passed slowly, and the Wolf Pack was diminishing at shocking speeds…
