Chapter 526: Black Region (1/2)
No matter when Leon searched, Leon could not find Duna anywhere nearby. Undoubtedly she was not anywhere close to the Great Wall.
They had traveled an entire way from the Great Forest.
The carcasses of rats could be seen littered all over the plains as they were hunted throughout the night. Duna could have been anywhere along this journey.
Knowing that Duna could potentially be in danger, Leon could not remain still. He had to search for her proactively if he wanted to make sure she was alright.
It would be too late for regrets if something happened while he waited and hoped for her wellbeing.
”I will leave everything here to you, Marquis Haldir. Please take care of everyone while I am gone.” Leon flew over and spoke to the Supreme Elder before preparing to take off in search of Duna.
”Of course.” Supreme Elder Haldir nodded solemnly despite his initial surprise. Nevertheless, he could not help but ask, ”May I inquire where you are going, young prince?”
”To find a missing friend.”
Supreme Elder Haldir also realized that the female spirit was not seen anywhere in their vicinity as he butchered another rat on the ground.
Suddenly, he recalled something and mentioned, ”If you are looking for Miss Duna, I remember that she ventured off quite deep into the south while we were still around halfway through the trip.”
”I got it, thank you.”
After giving the Supreme Elder his thanks, the three-tailed silver wolf in the distance barked at Leon, ”Arf, Arf!”
”Stay here and continue to help me clear out these pests, Silver,” Leon flew over and spoke while wiping some rat blood off the three-tailed silver wolf's fur before patting its head.
Silver whined like a child about to be abandoned and wanted to follow Leon, causing him to smile wryly in response.
”Fine, you can come along.”
”Awrooo!”
The three-tailed silver wolf howled excitedly after receiving Leon's approval.
”However, in return, I will need to give your reward to the Guardian Spirit to do extra work in place of your absence here,” Leon said seriously before taking out one of his few remaining supreme-grade spirit stones.
After the Elder Tree was called over from the Great Wall, Leon communicated with the Guardian Spirit and quickly received its willing agreement before tossing the spirit stone over.
Silver wanted to immediately snatch the supreme-grade spirit stone from the Guardian Spirit.
However, its limbs were suddenly bound by sneaky small roots from the Elder Tree before the Guardian Spirit gobbled down the supreme-grade spirit stone with its thicker roots.
As if it was not satisfied with having anticipated the three-tailed silver wolf's intention, it further antagonized it by waving its roots in front of the three-tailed silver wolf like it was saying, ”Too bad for you.”
”Grrr!” Silver growled unhappily while baring its fangs at the Elder Tree.
However, the three-tailed silver wolf was suddenly given a smack on the head by Leon before he casually said, ”What are you getting all unhappy about? This is what you chose! Suck it up and let us go!”
The three-tailed silver wolf felt wronged, but Leon was right. It could only follow behind Leon obediently.
Looking back, the Elder Tree could be seen making some sort of victorious gesture with its roots before the three-tailed silver wolf snorted and no longer looked back.
