Chapter 1794
“M-Mr. Chance, I think we shouldn’t continue walking forward…” Dale said while trembling. SeeingDale’s demeanor, Jared asked in puzzlement, “What’s wrong? Are you intimidated by just a few roars?”
“It looks like you don’t know about this, Mr. Chance. It is rumored that a tiger demon lived here once. Itwas extremely gigantic, and it could devour a human in one bite! However, nobody had encounteredthe tiger demon for many years. Thus, it was slowly forgotten by the people and became a legend,”Dale explained.
Dale continued, “But now, it’s possible that the roar came from that tiger demon. Besides, the peoplewho disappeared here were likely to be devoured by the tiger demon. I think we shouldn’t continuewalking forward. It’s too dangerous…”
Although Dale knew Jared was a Greater Martial Arts Grandmaster, they would most likely become thelegendary tiger demon’s meal if they encountered it.
“Is there really such a thing as a tiger demon here?” Jared looked shocked.
“If there is a tiger demon here, then there must be the King of Herbs as well. Whenever there is a stalkof King of Herbs in an area, there will definitely be a spirit beast protecting it.
Maybe the tiger demon is there to protect the King of Herbs.” Anne looked excited. At least, the tigerdemon’s existence proved that the King of Herbs would certainly exist around the area.
Seeing that Jared and the others didn’t seem to fear the tiger demon at all and wanted to keepcontinuing their journey, Dale said with a perplexed expression, “Mr. Chance, my strength is low. I don’tdare to walk further at all. Besides, I’d never been to this snowy mountain before. I guess I can’t leadthe way for you anymore.”
The meaning behind Dale’s remarks was clear. He wanted to quit the group and return home, as hewas afraid.
“Mr. Thompson, thank you for bringing us here. Please be careful when you go home.” Jared didn’tblame Dale. After all, Dale was merely a Martial Arts Grandmaster. If he were to encounter any danger,he wouldn’t even be able to escape.
“Then I shall wait in town to celebrate your return…” Dale said.
After Dale had left, Jared and the others continued forward. Yet, the path was getting more and moredifficult to cross. Not only that, but it was also leading toward the snowy mountain.
Fortunately, they were all experts. If they were ordinary people, they wouldn’t have been able to walkthis far. “Mr. Flaxseed, can you probe where the ancient ruins are?” Jared asked Flaxseed.
“Obviously. Have you forgotten what I do for al living?” With that, Flaxseed took out a metal rod thatwas only a few tens of centimeters long. It was thin and bright.
Casually, Flaxseed glanced around before finding a place to stick the metal rod into the snow.novelbin
Then, he stood in front of the metal rod and started chanting a spell. “A geomancer’s spells are neverwidespread, and the mountain where fortune lies should be identified through the mountain’s shape.There might be highs and lows, and one might circle the same area repeatedly.”
Flaxseed continued, “The mountains will rise and fall like a dragon or a snake. One should bringenough supplies while walking through the mountains, and one should protect their trails while crossingthe canyons. There is no end to taking from the mountains and giving something back. One’sentanglement with the mountains is always mysterious.”
He added, “Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Mars, and Saturn are the five planets that will lead us to themountains. Jupiter and Mars will create
civilization and bring knowledge. Saturn will create minerals and bring wealth. Venus and Mercury willbring prosperity from the mountains.”
Following Flaxseed’s chanting of the spell, a golden glow emitted from the tip of the metal rod. Thegolden glow was spreading continuously, and the area it covered became wider and wider.
Buzz! Suddenly, the metal rod began to vibrate, and a humming noise echoed throughout the area. Themetal rod’s vibration increased gradually. It began to heat up while vibrating, causing the surroundingsnow to melt.
Seeing that, Flaxseed waved his hand immediately as his expression changed slightly. “Stop!”
Instantaneously, the metal rod stopped vibrating, and the glow vanished. Then, the rod flew back toFlaxseed’s hand directly.
Jared and the others gaped at Flaxseed’s: actions. It could be said that Flaxseed was truly an expert.
