Chapter 1202 - Walking By The River I (2/2)
I am not feeling much tired, but I still decided to abide by my regular time table, not to forget I am impatient to enter the Tome; I need few more hours with the Tome, and I will be able to master the 6th recipe that I had been trying for past two days.
An hour later, Ashlyn had found the well-hidden spot, and we have set up the abode. After freshening up, I had cooked two of the dishes Ive learned in the Tome and ate with Ashlyn till our stomach full.
I took the first shift while Ashlyn slept; I first spread the sensors around the abode heavily before seeping my consciousness into the Tome.
As such, time passed, and by the time Ashlyn's shift starts, Ive mastered the 6th recipe and even tried the 7th recipe, which seemed very hard that I would need at least two to three days to master it.
Ashlyn took over, and I slept, and unlike my shift, her shift had some hiccups. Two monsters were idiot enough to come sniffing at out abode, and Ashlyn finished them off before they could create any trouble.
I woke up in the late morning; after freshening up and eating the leftovers of the last night, we continued with our journey toward the center of the Subterranine. I hope we found a way out of exit there; even though this space has pretty powerful monsters, I don't want to spend all my time Ruin here.
After half an hour of starting the journey, Ive come across the Peak Prince Stage monster, which I had killed after fifteen minutes of a good fight. An hour after that, I came across another Peak Prince, which was especially powerful, and I needed twenty minutes to kill.
The deeper walk into the center of subterranean, near the source of Cosmic Energy, the more Peak Princes I come across, not only the monster, but I also found many rare precious materials.
That now, I am spending more time picking them than fighting the monsters. Its a good thing Ive speed in my favor and quick hands; I could even pick the most delicate flower within seconds.
There would have been a lot more monsters I am facing but Ashlyn also fighting them; the ones I fight are her leftovers.
Chew Chew!
Suddenly Ashlyn Chirped and called me to her, saying she had likely found out way out; just as I heard that, an excited yelp came out of my mouth, and I sped toward her.
On the way, I even came across Peak Prince Stage monster, which I had killed in a record one minute. I had directly let loose my vines on it before piercing my sword into its skull before it even gets a chance to resist the vines.
Forty minutes later, I reached Ashlyn and saw what she had called me to see. ”River,” I said out loud with a smile; we have finally found something that could take us to exit.
There is River in the radiant grove, and I know it from its info that that small River goes underground. This River is likely the same small River, and if I walk the opposite of its flow, I may get out of the subterranean, and my instinct is telling me that this is the right way.
