80 Novice Mountain (1/2)
Discouraged, Rainer followed the group to the summit of the small mountain, it did not matter if he had traveled in the time or not, he needed to look for information that verified his theory and the place he was located.
After reaching the mountain summit, numerous wooden cabins were visible to the group, although the place was somewhat worn and sinister, the group noticed a great increase in the surrounding spiritual energy!
”This...” Many youths were surprised by the enormous difference in spiritual energy after ascending the mountain!
Cultivating in a place like this would double the results within half the time!
The group took large breaths like the spiritual energy was going to disappear the next moment.
”The manager of this area will appear soon, you wouldn't want to offend him, he's a bit...special... ”Disgust could be seen in senior Yunli's gaze as she talked about the novice mountain manager.
Creak!
The squeaking of a wooden door attracted the group' s attention as senior Yunli's frown became more pronounced, this 'man' seemed to be the manager.
The 'man' or whatever that thing was, soon appeared in front of the group.
His body was hunched over like an insect and a hood and thick clothing covered him.
When the man looked up at the group, they could see what kind of being the man was!
He was covered with scars and threads, his face was a mixture of different species, his bulging eyes remembered a chameleon while his scaly skin that fell to the ground looked like a snake's moult.
This man seemed to have taken parts from different creatures and assimilated them into his body!
”...!”
Surprise and disgust filled the youths' faces as they watched the man whose skin fell to pieces and eyes protruded from their sockets, they would have fled if it were not for the man's aura repressing them like flies in a web.
The man was in the Core Fragmentation stage! His aura repressed the young men as he watched them one by one like he was thinking which one to taste first.
”Filthy lizard, keep your disgusting investigations to yourself, the next time disciples disappear you will have to answer to the Sect Leader!”Senior Yunli said fiercely before throwing a jade string to the lizard man.
”Miss Yunli, it has already been proved that I was innocent...that young man stole my investigation and it ended badly, I had absolutely nothing to do with it... ”The man's voice sounded like pieces of metal scratching a rock, the noise was not at all pleasant.
”Humpf!” Yunli snorted before heading off to another mountain, leaving these young men to their fate with the repugnant man.
...
After a few minutes of silence in which no one did or said anything, the man broke the silence with an exclamation cry.
”Oh, a Beast Warrior? that will be very useful for my research!” Said the man as he focused his gaze on Rainer, the jade string contained information about the new disciples and Rainer was the first one!
A sudden shiver ran through Rainer's body as he felt like invisible tentacles were running through his body in search of his secrets.
