Chapter 67 Chaper: 022 Shattered Region (1/2)
A few days after they left Galdirth City, Elijah continued to prepare for his breakthrought, as for Aina, he realized that she was nothing like the one from his dream. Maybe this was because the Aina from his dream was older o mayber it was for another reason, but after some time he fekt that at least this one did not seem so bad as the one from his dream.
When their group were already hundred miles away from Galdirth City and had arrived in a region called Shattered Region they thought everything would be easy, but what some of them did't noticed was that although they tried to keep a low profile, with Aina's beauty and the numbers of people in their group had caused the opposite effect. The ones who lived in the region couldn't help but talk about the elegant girl who had just arrived. How she was dressed like someone important, and about the several young people with high cultivations who was traveling with them.
Feeling with his spiritual force that some of those people were following them, Elijah walked towards Keith who was the one with the highest cultivation here and shared his concerns with him. ”There's a lot of people here. It looks like they know this region very well and i can fell five people following us i don't think they are part of one an faction, but one of them seems to be on the same level as you and there is other eight with him, what we should do in the case they tried to do something?”
”Don't worry, just leave this matter to me. i have also felt that we're being followed, the only reason they are following us is to investigate about our group, so we just have to not give them any chance to attack us and if some powerful beasts come to us we can use them as baits and escape.” Keith patted on Elijah's shoulders and walked to the front as he informed the people on the expedition group about they being followed.
”Oh? fifteen people? And all of them seem to be rich kids?” in an few moments, everyone in the region had receive a report about the outsiders. ”A blue-skinned boy, another with a magical artifact being used as his hand and a black-haired girl wearing fancy clothes?” at the same time, this report was concealed by many others who already had the expedition group in their eyes. For some strange reason, Elijah Keith and Aina were the ones who called the most atention.
One of the people who was hidden on the crowd walked enthusiastically towards Keith: ”BrotherF Keith, it seems your group was the one to arrive late this time.”After greeting Keith, he looked at someone he didn't recognized from Galdirth's expedition group andhe figured this person could only be an new-comer on this type of expedition.
”It's his first time here?” Polan asked Keith with a smile on his face after briefly looking them over.
”Yeah, his name is Elijah, Aina's friend that had recieved one of Cosmos places to come here. Polan do you know where everyone is setting up their camps?”
”There are already seventy-six disciples from other factions where i set up my camp and we decided to form an temporary group until the ruin opens. Seventeen of them are Third Realm Spirit Fighters, Twenty are Second Realm Divine Magicians, thirty four Third Realm Mortal Swordsmen, Three alchemists and two Divine Healers on the Fourth Realm,would you two be interested in joining us? News about this ruin had spread arround so much that even the people on the south region know about it, if not for the age restriction which only permited cultivators before 25 years this place would be even more full. So have you decided if you will come with me?.”
Keith turned to the others to ask for their opinion, and seeing everyone nodding, he said in a calm tone: ”Okay, you can lead us to your camp.”
”There around four hundred people here waiting at the ruin's gate; some are alone while others would prefer to be in groups. My group are actually one of the stronger groups here. Some of the others are pretty hopeless actually, like those guys over there. I cant even imagine the point of them trying!”Polan pointed to a group of seven aggressive looking youngsters and chuckled as they walked toward the camping grounds: ”I heard the strongest of them is only a Spirit Controller at the first realm, how can someone on their level be capable of gaining something from this expedition? if there was at least a divine cultivator, they could use help from their Patron God to escape but those people?”
