Chapter 4483: Trail

I removed my sword from the dead bear’s head and turned to the two, looking at me in shock.

I had projected the power more than I have. It is a calculated risk to manage the ripples that will spread after the visit to this place.

All the fights I had had since I came out had been finished in less than five seconds.

I have been building toward it, and it is due to it that there are a lot fewer people trying their luck; otherwise, there would have been a lot of people after me.

"Thank you, Prime Arys. I will not forget this favour," thanked Prime Grerus.

"It is the least I could do for the hospitality your organisation had given me," I replied, with a smile, before putting the dead bear into my core.

I will feed the body to the plant, but I am going to study its core. It contains laws, but they cannot be comprehended.

If it had been so easy. People would have slaughtered the law monsters for their cores.

"Well, it’s nice meeting you again. Prime Grerus, Prime Valar," I nodded at both and walked out.

"Wait, Prime Arys," called Grerus. I turned and looked at him. "Are you planning to go deeper, Prime Arys?" he asked, to which I shook my head.

"No, I am coming from it," I replied to their surprise. Seeing that, I sighed.

"I didn’t go too deep; there are monsters there that could kill me instantly, with the strength I could use," I added, shaking my head in regret.

I could see them shuddering.

If I hadnt helped, they would have had a hard time dealing with the monster. So, it would be foolish for them to try to go further.

"Are you returning then?" asked the woman. "No. I am going to explore around for today, before returning tomorrow," I replied.

I nodded and walked away; this time, they didn’t stop me.

What I said is true: there will be a monster that would be extremely dangerous, and I shouldn’t go, but I am going.

It isn’t just for the resources, I want to see the centre where the energies are densest. There will be monsters and even people who will be far more dangerous than the monsters.

I pushed those thoughts and continued walking, and soon, when I moved out of their range, I activated my stealth to its full power.

They stayed in their place for a while before starting to walk, not toward the centre, but in the opposite direction.

A few minutes passed, and I sensed a monster; it was moving in the direction they had gone. It didn’t look like it sensed them; it was just moving in the same direction.

I didn’t do anything. I have saved them once already, and it’s not a hundred percent that the monster would find them.

Since they have fought it and nearly been killed by it, they would be a lot more careful.

Soon, an hour passed, and the energy had become even denser. It had been nearly forty minutes since I hadnt sensed any monster, but I was looking for them left and right.

I need to avoid monsters at any chance. If I got detected, my conditions wouldn’t be any better than Grerus’s had been, but in my case, nobody would come to save me.

So, I need to make sure that I do not get discovered by any monsters.

I stopped and harvested the apple tree. The apples that are filled with the law of healing. It is denser than I had ever sensed, and I wasted no time in harvesting all the mature apples.

There are only three trees, but they are filled with fruit.

I looked at it for a moment longer before I shook my head and walked away. Many times, I wish I could just take the tree into my core and plant it there.

Unfortunately, it is useless. Even if I was able to grow it, there won’t be any law power in the fruits.

It is hard to find such resources anywhere. They may have these resources in such quantity, but there are also a lot of monsters protecting them.

This place has a lot fewer monsters—those who are very powerful.

It is due to the blasts.

It kills monsters; even powerful ones couldn’t survive here every day. If they are caught even once, they are dead; the blasts are powerful enough to kill any monster.

I was thinking that when a blast occurred not far away from me.

It is pretty powerful, but I didn’t move from my spot, despite being closed. The blasts did not spread; they only harmed the area of the blast.

So, even if I remained inches away from it, I would remain unharmed.

Another hour passed, and the energy became even denser, but it didn’t stop me. I kept moving, harvesting the resources as I do.

Hun!

I was doing that when I suddenly sensed something. I stopped, made some preparation, and hid.

A few minutes passed, and a cloaked figure came into view. It is moving slowly and covered in stealth, with the best method I have seen so far.

It is following the trail, my trail. While I have been careful not to leave any trail, those with experience could easily be able to track me.

I took the risk, as in areas like this, people are more focused on harvesting resources than following others.

The figure looked around cautiously, following the trail. Including the false one I had made. Since I only had a minute, it didn’t go too far before the figure reached the end.

I could feel their method, and they are powerful. The figure is very powerful—more than Grerus.

A minute passed, and it kept looking, but it didn’t find anything. So, finally, it moved ahead, or that’s what they are making me see, in case I am watching.

That is just a method; the real person is hidden.

A minute passed, and then another; the figure hid for a total of twenty-three minutes before finally losing patience and moving.

This time, it is not fake.
