BXBX NOVEL Chapter 420 Fourth Month
She was ready to fight with her life; however, she was bewildered when she noticed the soul beast wasn’t even blinking or breathing, just remain static.
“What… ahhh…” Before she could utter another word, a piercing pain attack her head.
‘Soul injury!’ She quickly examined her condition.
She gritted her teeth and suppressed the pain before she remembered Carlee and instantly looked to her left and saw Carlee was still unconscious but still breathing, which give her some relief.
‘What is going on here? If that beast is dead, then where is that group of ambushers?’ She felt even more pain just thinking about it.
This was too sophisticated because everything didn’t make any sense anymore, and she even felt she was hallucinating or dreaming before her death, but that piercing pain told her otherwise.
Two green pills appeared in her hand, and she quickly took one and fed the other to Carlee, who was hanging by a threat.
After she felt slightly better, she again looked at the lifeless soul beast and confirmed it really wasn’t alive anymore.
Her eyes suddenly landed on the place between the crocodile’s eyes and were shocked and thought, ‘Could it be they didn’t take its beast core?’.
But she quickly shook her head furiously, ‘No, just spearing our life and leaving this carcass here is strange enough and if they left the beast core, then there was really something wrong with that group… But that demon had no intention in sparing us at all, I can tell from his indifferent tone… then why…’
No matter how much she racks her brain, nothing was making any sense, and it only made her head hurt more.
But the more she looked at the carcass, the more she before restless, and, in the end, she bit her lip and slowly moved toward it with slow steady steps.
The beast still had its lingering soul aura, which make her heart tighten, but she knows it was already dead, so she reached its head, which was the size of her body.
‘I just want to make sure…’
She took a deep breath and a long sharp dagger appeared in her, and she imbued her Qi and cut open the place between its eyes, and with Qi, she opened a deep hole.
Suddenly, she felt something hard resisting her Qi-imbued dagger and her expression turn into one of disbelief, “NO WAY!”
She didn’t care about blood or gore anymore and used her hand and push inside the bloody hole in its head.
Soon, her hand, coated with red blood, came out, and it was trembling. When it was completely out, there was a palm-size crystal red stone in her hand, which was giving off a strong soul aura.
Alora was completely gobsmacked as she furiously gawked at this crystal-like stone and mumbled with a hint of disbelief and elation, “B-beast core! But… is it possible that someone save me and killed this soul beast and even that group before leaving?
“But who could that be? Even a beast soul core was ignored by that person, and he didn’t kill me and Carlee but that group… which is the strangest part… ahhhh… I don’t care anymore, I just have to live with this!”
She screamed in frustration before her eyes became clear and without any hesitation; she stored the Blazing Soul Crocodile’s carcass in her storage ring because it was a treasure on its own.
After that, she picked Carlee up and quickly left the area before taking one last complex glance and deeply bowing. She still couldn’t believe her luck, which was nothing but absurd.
But she knew it wasn’t the time to ponder over it because if that expert didn’t want to reveal itself, she won’t be able to find him or her. So, she quickly left before some other group came here and attack her in this fragile state.
However, she wasn’t an ungrateful person, and she swore if she ever found the person who save and left this fire-type beast core for her which was extremely important and a life changer for her, she would repay this debt in full even if she had to gamble with her life.
Ace, who was watching Alora’s action from a tree, couldn’t help but smile in amusement.
‘Alora Yisrael, huh? She didn’t abandon her friend even when she had the chance to escape alone, and she even became a golden fate point after I save her… her memories also seemed to be quite interesting. Hehe, she’s unique for a demon…’
Ace had naturally stolen all the memories of Alora and Carlee when they were unconscious, and felt it was indeed an excellent decision not to kill Alora and Carlee.
Ace followed Alora for half and day until she reached a remote area, and she created a cave before settling down there since Carlee was still out cold, and she also wanted to heal herself.
She knew it would be hard to heal her soul injuries without any soul pills, and she could only gain them from the inner blade domain. Carlee has suffered even worse soul injuries, which was why she was in a coma-like state.
All in all, she couldn’t hunt more demonic beasts powerful than she, and Carlee was even worse. It wasn’t even clear if she could awake or not, much less hunt anymore.
Ace also reached the same conclusion and left her alone now. She can’t lead him anywhere in that condition.
Furthermore, from her memories, he also deemed she was probably going to cultivate her secret skill and lie low until then, so she won’t be leading him anywhere in the meantime.
Besides, he can’t overlook his matters just because of a golden fate point, which he had no way of knowing where it was or when it will arrive. That was why he left Alora alone for the time being, believing in his gut feeling.
—
Time flew by and in a blink of an eye it was the end of the third month and the start of the fourth month, which were also the last months before the first phase of the competition will end.
Not only the blade domain participants were desperately trying to achieve as high rank as possible, but the demons from the mist domain were also hunting blade domain demons with everything they had.
Now, every demon from the blade domain knew about mist domain interference and infiltration. They were also angry and restful, and they had already stopped the internal fight and were now fighting together to stop mist domain participants’ ambushes and even kill them if they had the chance.
This made mist domain participants’ life harder because blade domain participants won’t hunt alone anymore and formed sizeable groups. While they hunt, only three or four demons kill the beasts, while others stand on guard and continue to change their positions.
Mist domain hunting missions became even harder this way, and many made mistakes in desperation.
On the blade domain side, the ranking had changed drastically, which shocked many.
The current ranking was like this…
1. Feng Demon Sword: 45,000 Kill Points
2. Jaxx Wild Wind: 31,500 Kill Points
3. Peter Silver Blade: 29,000 Kill Points
4. Thomas Wild Cheveyo: 28,100 Kill Points
5. Eliezer Evil Blade: 26,600 Kill Points
6. Ramiro Wild Lion: 25,240 Kill Points
7. Alaric Green Blade: 22,300 Kill Points
8. Miya Evil Blade: 19,820 Kill Points
9. Anton Fire Blade: 17,100 Kill Points
10. Alora Wild Yisrael: 16,940 Kill Points
11. Brenna Silver Blade: 15,090 Kill Points
12. Kylen Fire Blade: 13,000 Kill Points
12. Seamus Wild Stone: 12,900 Kill Points
13: …
57. Carlee Wild Violent: 6,300 Kill Points
…
Feng had taken the huge lead, which left many in awe and some in fear because of his hunting and score-collecting efficiency.
He had suddenly become the most powerful youth among blade domain participants, while a nightmare for mist domain participants.
Many suffered under his hand, and those mist domain demons even started to avoid and run at the sight of Feng. He was just this scary.
However, inside a stone room, someone was completely vexed about a completely different matter at this moment as he looked at the ranking with bloodshot eyes.
This person had pale gray skin and royal blue eyeballs and the same color of short hair, and a pair of small horns. He was the Third Prince of Mist Demon Tribe and also deceased Santos’s brother, Jad!
Jad perplexedly muttered, “Where is the second brother, and what the hell is he doing? He didn’t hunt a single name on the kill list yet, nor did he contact any scout group all this time? Could it be something had happened to him and his group?!”
