Chapter 108 – Exit (2/2)
It was an obvious fact. They were carrying the body of a Dark Drake, Jungle Python eggs, an Abyss Dragon’s body and his Nucleus, plus a huge amount of Devil’s Race carcass; so many treasures were enough to make any man crazy.
Bi Fan’s team chose a new direction and continued on their way, and into the forest.
At present, they were much less interested in scraping for valuables, and were only concentrating on helping Lone Leaf advance to the peak of the ‘transformation’ layer.
Even when they were at the pool, they didn’t go looking for any treasure that the Abyss Dragon may have been guarding.
Party because they had just killed Li Xuan Feng’s team, and didn’t want to linger around the spot for too long, as they were afraid of being spotted by other humans.
And secondly, because the pool seemed very deep; Bi Fan’s team didn’t have any equipment to conduct a proper search inside such a deep pool, which is why they had decided to forget about the treasure inside it, if any.
At present, even Blue Dragon wasn’t trying to contest with Lone Leaf, and whenever they ran into a Devil’s Race beast, Lone Leaf would promptly charge forward.
At his present strength, Lone Leaf was more than capable of dealing with anything that was below the ‘Emerging from the Womb’ layer.
After each battle, Lone Leaf would meditate and enhance his energy, and then inspect his progress.
Wang Zhong had been assisting Lone Leaf by giving him directions, owing to which his strength was increasing even faster.
Three months had passed since their entry into the Abyss. At present, the four of them were walking around the deepest parts of the Devil’s Secret Forest, and had already collected a great number of valuables; a feat, which they couldn’t even have imagined upon their entry into the Abyss.
Another battle later, Lone Leaf finally managed to reach the peak of the ‘transformation’ layer.
“I’ve finally reached the pinnacle of the ‘transformation’ layer. Now, I’ll immediately take the Ogre Flower petal upon my return, and the will soon break into the ‘Emerging from the Womb’ layer; I’ll become a formal disciple of my Sect!” Lone Leaf exclaimed; he could barely believe his own words.
Formerly, the Bei Ming faction had only considered Lone Leaf to be an ordinary outer disciple, but now, he would soon come to the forefront, and would be accepted into the Bei Ming Sect as a formal disciple.
After taking the Ogre Flower petal, he would be able to make the breakthrough with ease, and his skills would see a major enhancement. Such an achievement at such a young age, would guarantee him a formal disciple’s spot in the Bei Ming Sect.
Lone Leaf continued to smile, as he tried to imagine the new range of benefits which he would now have access to.
“Brother Leaf, congratulations!” Blue Dragon was a little envious, but he too had already managed to reach the peak of the ‘Enormous Strength’ layer.
Bi Fan also congratulated Lone Leaf on his achievement. On the surface, Bi Fan was the weakest member of their team, as he was only at the peak of the ‘Spiritual intelligence’ layer. But his physical force, itself, had surpassed eleven Yun Shi.
In terms of overall strength, Bi Fan was still the strongest fighter in the team.
As for the Chimera, well, he still hadn’t woken up. He had been asleep for a long time now, which was an indication that his strength would have seen a significant improvement when he finally wakes up.
The Marten had really enjoyed this trip inside the Secret Forest of the Devil, as he had gotten an opportunity to eat a wide range of herbs. Had he collected them instead, and sold them in the market, then he too, would have made a lot of money; but then again, he didn’t really care.
The Marten’s speed seemed to have increased, while his nose had become even more sensitive.
Anyway, he seemed to be heading in the right direction; so naturally, Bi Fan was quite happy about it.
Wang Zhong, Lone Leaf, and Blue Dragon’s Jungle Python eggs hadn’t hatched yet, which was a good thing, as they didn’t want the aura inside the Devil’s Abyss to have any negative impact on their newborn pets.
They had already decided; upon their return, they would first try to wash off any remaining negative Aura around the eggs, before attempting to incubate them.
“We should head by back now.” Bi Fan said.
Lone Leaf sighed, and said: “Yes, ah. I hope I get more opportunities to fight alongside you, Brothers.”
“Definitely. We’ll have more chances; otherwise we can always meet each other in the Jiu Yu city and catch up.” Blue Dragon laughed.
Wang Zhong said: “After I get out, I’ll also be making my way to the Jiu Yu city.”
“I also want to go the Jiu Yu city once, and then I’ll head out again.” Bi Fan also expressed his desire.
The four of them parted their ways, and left the Devil’s Abyss.
However, the four of them were completely unaware of the developments that had happened outside the Devil’s Abyss, in their absence.
