Free Web NovelChapter 1974: Part 1: The Return Trip
Opal Magic Forest
Our gazes were fixed on the control mirror. Then, I saw something happening. The corpse began to undergo some changes. The flesh and blood began to disappear.
In the blink of an eye, only a skeleton remained. Seeing that, I nodded in my heart. The ancient monster was active underground.
It might be sealed, but who knows when it will come out next time. I had a feeling that it wasn’t safe to stay here, but I didn’t want to miss this opportunity.
The opal magic gemstones are a rare commodity. The more I collected, the greater the reward I could get.
A few days passed.
During the daytime, we collected the opal magic gemstones all over the forest. We didn’t come across any other teams.
Then, we hid inside the mansion during the nighttime. We finally stopped collecting when the number reached 10,000 opal magic gemstones.
The next day,
I appeared outside with the Zero Puppet, and we began to leave the Opal Magic Forest. After many twists and turns, I had completed the mission.
Now that I knew the route, I would return to the Magic City sooner this time.
Time passed.
We returned to the dangerous land again. While crossing the dangerous land, we hid in the mansion.
The black fog covered the whole territory. We waited until the next morning, then we resumed our journey.
Compared to before, the return journey was smooth. We didn’t stop anywhere and didn’t face any troubles.
A few hours later, we returned to the land where the campsite was. Next up was the trip to the undying river. freёwebnovel.com
Before that, we had to cross through the spider den. Since I had faced the spider monster already, I knew their activity was high during the nighttime.
They would come out to hunt. I decisively decided to resume the journey in the morning.
The following day,
We moved through the forest. The Zero Puppet was helping me out by keeping an eye on the path. We might come across rare treasures.
Soon, we reached the territory of the underground cave. We flew over it. I gave a final glance at the place before leaving.
Time passed.
We continued along one pathway. After a couple of hours of journeying, we reached the Undying River.
I put the Zero Puppet inside the Gregor Mansion. It was evening. I looked at the long stretch of the wide river.
The river seemed to be calm on the surface, but I knew the undercurrents below. More dangerous than the strong flow of the river were the dangerous river monsters.
I decided to fly at a high altitude.
Swoosh!
I appeared in midair. Then, I flew a little higher into the sky and began to cross the river. I had already shielded my mana presence from the system.
The monsters couldn’t sense me. At the same time, I had asked the system to remind me of any danger.
Just then, I saw a river monster’s shadow beneath the water. The shadow was more than 50 feet long. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
I looked at its frame and found that the monster seemed to be long, like a snake monster.
Seeing that, I increased my speed. My body moved faster. I hoped that the monster hadn’t seen me. Just as I thought everything was fine then.
Boom!
A snake-like monster emerged from the river’s surface. The monster looked like a giant snake, rising above 50 feet in height.
[Ding! The 12th-order River King Monster has seen the host.]
I heard the system’s voice in my mind. My eyes flashed with a gleam. I had underestimated the eyesight of the river monster.
There was a reason why it had survived for so long here.
Alarm!
At the same time, an alarm sounded in the town. Those who were outside saw the massive size of the river monster.
The guards who maintained a watch over the place saw the river monster as well.
The sound of the alarm reached my ears as well. The next second, I appeared inside the Gregor Mansion.
The River King Monster was stunned. It tried to locate the wizard, but it wasn’t able to do it.
It was sure that it had seen the human wizard, but the wizard had disappeared from the place.
The sound of the alarm was heard by the River King Monster as well. The monster was frustrated and angry; it had lost sight of the human wizard.
The sound of the alarm irritated the River King Monster. It made a massive splash.
Boom!
A huge water wave reached the riverbed. The water swept across the area. The wizards who came to defend were hit by the water wave.
Boom!
The houses near the riverbed were swept away by the water waves as well. The River King Monster then dived back down into the river.
Soon, the place returned to normal. The wizards looked for survivors. The people were greatly affected by it.
The following day,
In the morning, I appeared outside. I saw the river was calmer than yesterday. I took my time crossing the river.
I wasn’t the only one crossing the river; I saw several ships crossing as well. When I reached the other side of the river, I landed on the ground.
My actions didn’t draw attention. There were others like me crossing the river.
Then, I moved towards the exit of the place. Last time, I faced a bandit situation. This time, there was no need to pay attention.
Days passed by.
A few days later, I took the Raven aircraft outside and began to travel in it. By following the coordinates, the aircraft returned to the previous location of the underground auction.
I didn’t stop there and continued with my travels.
I am now much more relaxed and enjoying the journey. Soon, I will reach the chaotic land border.
I hope I won’t encounter any problems in the Skycrest Kingdom. They are stronger and united. I can’t use the Raven aircraft there; I can only travel using other means.
