Chapter 49 - Finding The Horned Leopard (1/2)
After they went into the beast territory, a shadow suddenly descended from a tree not too far from the beast territory as it turned out to be the grand elder who had a walking stick on his hand for support.
”I can't believe they actually went inside, anyways this means there will be more interesting scenes for me to watch” said the grand elder with a smile on his face as begin to walk slowly into the beast's territory.
After they stepped into the beast territory, Austin was cautious of his environment as he began to walk light to avoid waking up those beasts that were already sleeping.
”Don't you think it is time you used that talent of yours Jason” asked Austin in a whisper to Jason who seemed to be walking at a slow pace as him.
”There seems to be no beast in this part of the forest” replied Jason as he whispered back to Austin.
”If there is none, then why are you walking slowly” asked Austin in doubt.
”That's because like you, I am being careful not to create any disturbance. Can we continue with our advancement and stop talking for now” reply Jason as he takes the lead forward.
The two continue with their search for a long time while avoiding beasts from all sides and it comes to the point where Jason does not need to say a thing before Austin will get the idea that a beast is nearby. While they were searching, the grand elder who was watching over them was awestruck by Jason's performance so far.
”That kid could actually navigate through the beast territory without running into any beast, if they continue in this way then they won't be needing my help” mutters the grand elder with a smile on his face as he continues to watch them.
Searching for the area with dense spiritual energy wasn't an easy task for the two and Austin was beginning to lose hope of them finding the horned leopard for it is not certain that they will find the horned leopard there. After searching for a while with the sun already coming out and they were yet to find the area with dense spiritual energy, Austin suddenly dropped to the ground.
”What the hell are you doing Austin, come on we need to keep on searching before the sun rises” said Jason as he turned to look at Austin.
”What is the need of worrying about the sun rising since the result is the same and let us not forget that you will be able to catch their scent if they are close so let me rest a bit” replied Austin as he refused to get up.
”It will be difficult for us to avoid being seen even with my talent so I advise we keep on moving” said Jason as he tries to persuade Austin.
”This is a waste of our time you know, there is no way we will be able to locate the horned leopard if we can't find an area that is filled with spiritual energy” replied Austin.
”I know it is not easy to find a place that's filled with spiritual energy but we can't give up now, not after coming this far” said Jason.
”It's not like I have given up but there is no way I will be able to make improvements in my cultivation path if things continue like this. I need to get into some action man” replied Austin with a clenched fist.
