BXBX NOVEL Chapter 363 - Returning To The Present
An explosion is heard from the entrance of the cave, but Adrian has no more time left. The timer of one hour ended and Adrian\'s body started to turn into particles of light. He did his best to gather all the items that he has yet to pick up.
Adrian finally vanished into particles of light as a group of three people reached the current area that he was in. This group of people were none other than the young Ascalor\'s group. They rushed to this hidden cave because Ascalor sensed a huge amount of spatial energy coming from this specific area.
"There is no one here." Allen stated while inspecting the area.
"Someone was here to be exact. I can still feel the remnant spatial energy in the vicinity. Whoever it was, it might be someone who is already well-versed in spatial magic." The young Ascalor commented.
"Do you think it was one of your kind? I mean only your kind could manipulate space that skillfully." The female dragonkin asked.
"If it is one of our kind then I would love to meet them as I would want to be tutored on the way of using spatial magic. I only ever used it to open portals for myself to enter." The young Ascalor stated as he carefully inspected the area to see more traces of spatial magic.
"Good news though! Whoever it was, they left all the slime cores lying about. The number of cores that are in this cave should be in the hundreds. Thank you, kind stranger whoever you may be." Allen shouted out loud.
"Whoever it was, they are very skilled as I could not even trace the location where they teleported to." The young Ascalor muttered as he collected the slime cores.

Adrian who suddenly became particles of light ended up in the tunnel he used to travel to the past. His vision became dark as he suddenly heard a rumbling sound.
"What is that sound coming from?" Adrian thought but his body is suddenly being sucked in a white circle before him.
Adrian tried resisting the pull but ultimately gave up. He had a carefree look on his face that literally stated, \'I do not care anymore\'. Adrian\'s vision is flooded by light and next thing he knows he was being spit out by Bessy.
The Cosmic Cetacea spit out Adrian directly on top of the grazing field of the Capricorns where his soulbounds were currently helping Pann tend to the flock. Fortunately for Adrian, he was not covered with spit or any other liquids, but he did have an odd glow around him.
"You have finally returned brat! G clean yourself up or do you like being covered in Bessy\'s stomach acid." Pann ordered.
Adrian immediately realized that the odd glow that he had is not something that should be covering him. He immediately went to the well located in Pann\'s ranch and drenched himself with water. The stomach acid that looked like a star\'s glow easily got rinsed off.
"Who knew something so beautiful could be so disgusting!" Adrian exclaimed as he stormed towards Pann with an expression of indignation.
"What! Do you want to say anything!?" Pann stated in a threatening tone which made Adrian immediately back down. He went in like a lion but arrived as a cute little kitty cat.
"I have the slime that you want. Let me transfer it in a Companion Stone first." Adrian stated as he transferred the soul of the silver soul slime to the empty Companion Stone.
Adrian can detect the silver soul slime that he sealed and decided that it was better to give it to Pann. He rather tries his luck in summoning a slime using the Random Slime Soul Stone. The slime that he gave Pann is a slime that is perfect for him because it was a Pristine Slime.
Monster: Pristine Slime
Level: 76
Description: A slime said to be the epitome of cleanliness as it hates dirt or garbage. It is so clean that its body is almost water like in texture. It does however expose its core easily which is why Pristine Slimes are easy prey for intelligent predators. It is often used in toilets due to how useful it is.
"Ohh! This slime is perfect for me. I always hated cleaning up my dirty equipment, but I can now do it quickly with this little guy assisting me. I better give you a reward that you need right now." Pann stated as he pulled something out of his subspace. Adrian crossed his fingers and hoped for the best when he heard that Pann would give him something.
"I mean an item from a demigod should be top tier, right? But compared to the demigods that I saw, Pann is more of the simple kind so I should not make my expectations high.
Pann finally pulled the item that he was going to give Adrian. Pann pulled out a foot of a certain animal that is fashioned like that of a charm. Pann happily gave it to Adrian who received it with a strained smile, but the strained smile soon turned into a genuine one.
Item: Lucky Killer Rabbit Foot
Tier: Legendary
Type: Consumable Charm
Effect: Increases your luck for five minutes.
Description: An item said to increase luck when the holder consumes it. Killer Rabbits are said to be difficult to find and kill due to their immense speed and reflexes. You are lucky that you have even got one of there precious foot. Who knew a foot can be this lucky?!
"Funny?! This is an item that I really need right now. Maybe this was a hidden quest that does not give an official quest because the prize greatly varies depending on the slime that I give Pann." Adrian thought as he stared at the Lucky Killer Rabbit Foot.
"I am giving you one of my lucky rabbit feet because of the great work that your soulbounds have given me. Especially Sirius, he can really herd the Capricorns better than my current herding dog. Let me borrow him from time to time." Pann stated and Adrian smiled wryly once again due to the comment.
