Chapter 30: Two Great Spirit Masters in Action
"Little Ice, stop sleeping. Wake up quickly. Your fellow buddies are dying."
The Icy Jade Emperor Scorpion slowly opened its eyes, and Su Zhe's face came into view. It shook violently and it still looked confused.
What? What's wrong?
"Can you find your fellow Icy Jade scorpions? Their lives might be in danger right now."
Su Zhe clearly remembered that he had placed the rest of the Icy Jade scorpions near the super refrigerator but they were nowhere to be seen. They were probably taken by some wild beasts.
Su Zhe tidied up the small farmyard, thinking of hunting down the fiercer spirit beasts that had run out of the manor. It was not good for them to hurt some innocent civilians.
The Frost King's body trembled as it thought, 'My clansmen? Are they going to die?'
"Of course!"
With a swish, the Icy Jade Emperor Scorpion took large strides and ran towards the North. With the boost of five to six hundred thousand spirit points, it was moving extremely quickly.
At the same time, Su Zhe turned on the spirit beast locator device given by the system. It was a round plate slightly bigger than a watch, and looked like an eight-trigram array made of metal. There were two needles inside to show the target's movement trajectory and a number to show the approximate distance.
Su Zhe took the spirit beast locator and went to the place where he had stored the Icy Jade Scorpion. He allowed the device to absorb some of its spirit power aura and a trace of the evil beast's spirit power aura. Then, he brought Bibi Dong to catch up with the Frost King.
The two needles on the spirit beast locator were locked on the same position as the Frost King and the specific distance: 1361.
"The unit of measurement is in meters?"
"A thousand meters, that's pretty close."
"Even an ordinary person can run only one kilometer in three minutes. It'll take at least ten minutes to walk there, right? "
Su Zhe thought to himself. In the modern era, he was healthier and could run a kilometer in four minutes.
After arriving at the Douluo continent, he had been working in the fields frequently. His body was much stronger and would definitely be faster.
...
Sunset Forest.
The Sunset Forest was one of the few large habitats of wild spirit beasts within the Heaven Battle Empire. The forest area wasn't large and couldn't compare to the Great Star Battle Forest but the Sunset Forest also had high level spirit beasts.
Sunset Forest was located in the center of Heaven Battle Empire. Even though it still wasn't considered as a cold region, the temperature was still much lower than Great Star Battle Forest, which caused the plants here to be even more of the temperate vegetation unique to the North.
Tropical plants gave people a feeling that they were more dense and humid. The temperate plants were more refreshing and scattered, not as dense as the tropical plants. Therefore, it was easier to move inside the Sunset Forest compared to the Great Battle Star Forest.
At this moment, there were many powerful spirit Masters gathered in the interior of the Sunset Forest. If there was someone inside the forest, they would discover that all these were famous people on the continent!
Floating in midair, the leader were two of the strongest spirit masters in the continent: Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu.
Following behind them were the elders from Spirit Hall and Clear Sky Sect.
Spirit Hall's Golden crocodile and Jiang mo were both spirit masters over a hundred years old and there were also three more elders from Clear Sky Sect.
At this moment, Qian Daoliu said to Tang Chen, "Brother Tang, did you notice that?"
The stern-looking Tang Chen nodded. "Yes, it is something powerful. You know I always love dealing with powerful things."
"Moreover, this thing is very likely that it involved one of the elders from the Clear Sky Sect so I naturally had to come and take a look."
"The death of the Clear Sky School's elder might also be related to our saintess, Bibi Dong..."
"There's no need to discuss that. I've also heard about Bibi Dong's matter. She really is a rare genius that only appears once in a thousand years but no matter what, she's just an insensible little girl. I, Tang Chen, don't have the right to question her crimes. No matter how strong she is, it's impossible for her to kill an elder of the Clear Sky Sect.
"I am still aware of such things."
"Well, I obviously know your character well."
Tang Chen's words caused Qian Daoliu to suddenly smile. He was a little worried that Tang Chen would pursue the matter and even Qian Daoliu would find it hard to protect Bibi Dong.
Qian Daoliu had once fought Tang Chen in one of the mountains that were far away from the city. At that time, they had just advanced to title Douluo and were both in high spirits, so they decided to have a battle.
Unfortunately, in the end Qian Daoliu was miserably defeated by Tang Chen's hands and lost the ownership of those mountains to the Clear Sky Sect. Spirit Hall would never be allowed to enter without the Clear Sky Sect's permission.
Qian Daoliu had always kept this matter in mind. He had a grand plan in his heart, to overturn the two great empires. He had to defeat Tang Chen and swallow this tough bone as a whole in order to break the oath of those mountains. This way, Spirit Hall could take down the Clear Sky Sect in one swoop at the crucial moment without any disturbances.
Just as Qian Daoliu was preparing to challenge Tang Chen again, a mysterious force appeared in Heaven Battle City, alarming them and causing them to rush over.
When they arrived at Heaven Battle City, they couldn't find the person.
Instead, an earthquake-like tremor came from the Sunset Forest. There was an enormous creature that had never been seen before lying dormant within.
This was why Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen were here.
After some investigation, it seemed that someone had witnessed the huge creature swimming upstream from the river in the South and was eventually hiding in the sunset forest.
"However, why did Tang Chen say that this mysterious spirit beast was the one who murdered the fifth elder?"
"Did you forget? It's said that spirit beasts with a hundred-thousand-year cultivation base and above can turn back into human form. What if there is a rare hundred-thousand-year spirit beast that has turned back into human form or has cultivated to the point where it can keep both the human body and the spirit beast's true form?"
