BXBX NOVEL Chapter 489: Depart 1
After forcefully breaking past the Ancestral God Tree’s no-flight power, Garen quickly searched the woman’s body, and found a Cthulhu’s Origin that hadn’t been exchanged, glancing at it he realized it was the Light God’s Origins that had been introduced before.
Keeping it into his waist-pouch, Garen’s face flashed with a red dragon shadow, and the body in his hands was instantly swallowed by the Nine-Headed Dragon, leaving not a trace behind.
His fury from being ambushed previously had also mostly drained.
He released a fierce breath, and his heart suddenly tightened, after being ambushed just now, his temper had exploded, and the wrath just overtook him. Under the influence of the Nine-Headed Dragon’s explosive killing intent and bloodlust, he had actually gone straight to the Cthulhuism Society and killed someone.
"Now that I’ve gotten the Cthulhu’s Origins, I can’t stay long!" Garen was just about to turn the communicative ring on his finger to contact Wukang, when suddenly a black cloud appeared in front of him, and he sensed a familiar Totem Light ahead of him.
"Wukang?"
"It’s me!" A man’s voice came from within the black clouds. "What happened?"
"I can’t explain now, let us leave here now, I killed someone from the Cthulhuism Society, and stole some things, so they surely won’t let it go." Garen said hurriedly, "We’ll just use radio transmission to inform His Majesty Phiros later, now we leave!"
Wukang didn’t waste time chatting either, the black clouds carrying the carriage they arrived on, and the female guard was already riding on it, the three of them didn’t say much, the black clouds cooperating with Garen’s Black Water True Technique, they rapidly flew towards the outskirts of the Ancestral God Grounds.
"Let’s split up, you go straight back at full speed, I’ll go settle some other things, I’ll be back in a jiffy." Garen told him quietly, he was floating in the middle of the black clouds, and there was nobody around him, but he knew that if he talked like this, Wukang would definitely be able to hear him.
"That’s good too, I’ll take the others back first, if you need me, you can contact me whenever using the communicative ring." Wukang knew as well that, faced with the high-level fighting power of the Cthulhuism Society, right now he would be no more than a burden.
******************
Three days later
Outside the Daniela Ancestral God Grounds, among several differently-sized villages.
In a newly-built small wooden house, the dim light came in through the window, the faint light of dawn dying a small part of the little house white-grey.
Cough cough cough...
Inside the little house, a short young man with white hair was coughing into his hand despite himself, his face pale.
"Are you okay?" A middle-aged man’s voice came from the bed in the little house.
"I’m fine. I won’t die." The young man put down his hand, and hit that little bit of blood in his palm behind him. "In the end Aud landed a fist on my back, so I was slightly hurt. It’s nothing serious."
"I’ve already given her the medicine that you found from inside. Her condition should be getting better now. Too bad we’re stuck here instead." The middle-aged man said helplessly.
"It’s okay, there will be a way." The white-haired man was Hannet, who had just left the Ancestral God Grounds. He had been chased down by the Cthulhuism Society the whole way, and nearly died a few times before he finally managed to hide into this village. For now, he had earned some breathing space.
"Stone and the others are coming soon, with their help, it will probably be a lot easier." The middle-aged man said softly, watching Hannet’s pale face, how could he not know Hannet’s current condition, Hannet was on his last legs, and had been pushed to the limit. After repeatedly getting hurt, all the materials and supplies he had at hand for totem maintenance had been completely used up, and compared to before, his power had once more fallen to the freezing point. He had only been at Form Two power before, but now he had fallen to Form One.
If it weren’t for the Winged God Arms’ support, Hannet would probably have fallen a long time ago to the Cthulhuism Society’s efforts.
Seeing Hannet’s eyes flash with a hint of hatred, perhaps the other thing supporting him was also his deep-set hatred towards the Cthulhuism Society.
His parents’ tragic deaths, his family members getting dismembered and eaten, the grudge between the Cthulhuism Society and Hannet was already at a point of no return.
"They are them, I am me." Hannet replied emotionlessly, "Don’t put your hopes in anyone else, that is a foolish way to think."
"But in any case Stone has reached Form Four too, so he’s far more powerful than we are. Isn’t that right?"
Hannet fell quiet, and said no more.
******************
Arooo~~~!!
A huge white wolf, more than ten feet tall, howled at the sky, spraying out many golden threads that spread apart, shooting in all directions like raindrops.
These golden threads were almost alive, rapidly darting through the luscious green forests, searching out any possible target.
Ding!!
There was a crisp sound, and several silk threads were cut apart.
A flash of gold darted past in mid-air, running away from the white wolf at high speeds.
"Run!! Run run run!!" Beckstone looked like a mess, a hole torn through his robe at the butt, revealing his fair white buttocks, while his whole body was covered with sticky golden liquid, and even some of his exposed skin was covered with the pale gold liquid.
Underneath him was a huge golden flower, a large flower like a sunflower.
There were roots and dark green vines growing from underneath the flower, like so many tiny short legs, running so fast it nearly turned into a wheel.
The Eleventh Princess Tina was sitting on the huge flower, the little girl hugging Stone’s thigh tightly, the mucus and tears covering her face, without a trace of her elegance as a royal daughter, while her entire body kept floating from the extreme speed with which they were moving.
"This is the residual pressure left behind from the strongest totem three thousand years ago, the Heavenly Wolf King! That place just now had the strongest mark of residual power discovered in archaeological history, we should be fine as long as we get two thousand kilometers away!!" Tina roared loudly, not daring to wipe away her mucus, so she could only press her face hard against Stone’s robes. The two of them were an utter mess."
"A damned totem can still be so strong after three thousand years, are you f*cking kidding me!" At this point, even Beckstone couldn’t help but curse.
After all, after being chased for three days and nights, without even time for a toilet break, once it got to that, even a retard would probably be invoking some four-letter words.
"You’re saying that now! I told you that thing can’t be touched, but you just had to touch it! If it weren’t for you, we’d be at Daniela ages ago!" Tina started screaming.
Shh...
Some white water flew out from under Tina. It followed the wind and floated to the back.
The corner of Stone’s mouth twitched a few times. The two of them had been living like that for the past few days, having gotten used to wetting their pants or whatnot. As for their pants getting wet, they would dry in the wind soon anyway...
"I wanna die!!" Tina’s face was filled with shame and fury. Although it wasn’t her first time wetting herself, each time still made her unbearably embarrassed and angry.
"Just relax." Beckstone said woodenly.
Suddenly, a huge black shadow covered the tops of their heads.
"Dodge!""To the right!!"
The two of them screamed at the same time.
Barroom!!
There was an instant explosion like a high-powered bomb, and a large patch of trees were blown down, a deep black trench appearing in the ground.
The huge white wolf raised its right paw, golden threads pouring out non-stop from its mouth, these golden threads were like mist, spreading apart, locking down the areas the two of them could dodge into among the trees.
On the way here, at first they did not need to worry about their safety at all considering how strong Beckstone was, but he had assumed that safety was a non-issue, so his largest curiosity as a researcher was utterly activated by the strange and mysterious things he kept seeing on the road.
Relying on his Form Four power, he had started exploring everywhere, and at first Tina’s warnings still had some effect, but towards the end, it simply became that whatever she warned him against, he would go straight to touch it.
After he tried that a few times and nothing happened, he began to grow fearless. Until he messed with this extremely powerful white wolf.
This white wolf could instantly switch between dematerialization and materialization, and was extremely powerful, it could avoid any attack. Its speed was shocking, as was its destructive power. It chased the two of them non-stop for three days and three nights, extremely persistently.
Soon enough, they could vaguely see the sign marking Daniela’s country border.
The two of them slipped behind the boundary marker, and instantly a huge power rushed straight at them.
The huge white wolf behind them roared long and loud, unhappily, and finally retreated slowly.
Bam!
The two of them fell sitting to the ground, an utter mess, and lay on their backs, unwilling to move even half a finger. They just kept breathing the fresh air in large pants.
Beckstone’s hair had been blown into a broom by the air, standing high on end, while two dents had been blown into Tina’s checks, the two pieces of chubby flesh hanging slightly low by her chin, looking a bit like a pug and seeming like it might not return to the way it was.
"How blissful..." Tina moaned, "I just want to lie like this forever."
"Let’s find human civilization first. We’re finally at Daniela..." Beckstone stood with some difficulty, feeling how empty the seat of his pants was, there was a faint breeze blowing past his legs.
He looked around himself for a while, all of his luggage and belongings had been lost in the chase, even his waist pouch was gone, all he had left were the few rings on his fingers.
Heaving a heavy breath, he lifted Tina in one go. The golden flower was also panting out of exhaustion next to them, the golden sunflower-like flower head tilted to a side, its body rising and falling, as though it was panting heavily as well.
"You okay, Sunflower?" Stone patted Sunflower.
Sunflower nodded hurriedly, its many roots tapping the ground to indicate that it still had energy.
"Then we’re counting on you." Beckstone said helplessly. Pulling Tina back onto Sunflower, they hurried towards the direction of Daniela’s Ancestral God Grounds.
****************
Garen was sitting alone, cross-legged, in a forest, there seemed to be a faint black mist permeating through the air, and the trees and grass seemed to be wilting slightly.
The place he was meditating was already several tens of kilometers away from the Ancestral God Grounds.
This was an extremely isolated part of the forest, and he was mostly surrounded by bamboo.
Amidst this green sea of bamboo, there was a small round area of faintly black light, like a small spot of black ink of green cloth, unnaturally clear. That was where Garen was recovering.
It had been three days after he left the Ancestral God Grounds by himself, the fifth dragon head’s fusion was already successfully complete, with the help of the two Seeds of the Ancestral God, he had successfully completed the fusion, and at the same time he had begun fusing the sixth dragon head.
Leaving the Ancestral God Grounds was not a decision he had made simply. Although this way he would face the Cthulhuism Society’s hunting directly, he would also be able to hide his own tracks, going from out in the open into hiding. That way, should Black Sky’s Hellgate reemerge, and decide to make a move on the Ancestral God Grounds, it would not affect him for now. With a bigger and more definite target in the Cthulhuism Society and Daniela’s king, no matter what they would not go for an outsider power like him first.
