Chapter 131: Chapter 131 Hiltan Serpents 1 (Bonus)
Although void Realm Stones can also store items, they can only store non living things like herbs. As for Master Magi, he was an exception. With the Spirit Realm Stone, Blaze Regret no longer had to worry about missing out on valuable spirit beasts in the future.
"A favor for a favor."
Blaze Regret knew that for Yun Suhaila, a Spirit Realm Stone was undoubtedly very expensive. Therefore, he patted his waist, and one of his void Realm Stones flew in front of Yun Suhaila.
This void Realm Stone was obtained when Blaze Regret killed Snow Azrul that day, and it had been unused since.
"This..."
Yun Suhaila hesitated. An void Realm Stone costs about twenty thousand gold coins, whereas a Spirit Realm Stone only costs ten thousand gold coins.
When she looked up, Blaze Regret had already left, with only his silhouette moving slightly in the distance.
With a helpless smile, Yun Suhaila extended her jade hand and gently grasped the void Realm Stone. Meanwhile, not far away, Xen Kai's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
After another night of camping out, the group quietly resumed their trek through the forest. Everyone had their spirit beasts released, ready to face any imminent danger.
"We should be nearing Hiltan Town," Blaze Regret said softly, wiping sweat off his face.
"Half a day more," Muk Karthik replied, scanning the trees around them. He spotted a faint mark and grinned.
As a seasoned spirit hunter who had roamed the forest for years, Muk Karthik had his ways of discerning the path. Every time he saw those faint marks on the tree trunks, he would walk over and re carve them, preparing for future entries.
After yesterday's events, Yun Suhaila and Blaze Regret's relationship had noticeably improved. From time to time, they would chat a bit, and whenever this happened, Muk Karthik would tactfully shut his talkative mouth.
Watching the two of them engage in lively conversation, Xen Kai, at the back, had eyes filled with intense murderous intent, wishing he could tear Blaze Regret apart.
However, thinking about the gap in strength between him and Blaze Regret, Xen Kai suppressed his thoughts. His face, though, remained gloomy, deep in thought.
As they neared the forest's edge, the frequency of spirit beast attacks decreased. After several hours of walking, there were only three waves of spirit beast attacks, which were effortlessly repelled.
"Blaze Regret, what do you plan to do in Hiltan Town?" Yun Suhaila asked curiously, her beautiful eyes fixed on Blaze Regret. Find hidden gems at m-vl-em-pyr
"Looking for something," Blaze Regret replied, gently brushing off the leaves stuck to the Red Beast's fur with a smile.
"Why not join the Blue Blade Spirit Hunting Group? We have some influence in Hiltan Town and might be able to help," Yun Suhaila said with a hint of anticipation in her voice.
"No, thanks. I prefer being on my own," Blaze Regret apologized with a smile. He wasn't very comfortable in crowded places, and his purpose for coming out was to train. Joining a spirit hunting group would be a hindrance.
Hearing this, Yun Suhaila sighed softly in disappointment, her jade like fingers restlessly playing with the feathers of her Wind Scythe Bird.
"Roar!"
At that moment, a blood stained Red Flame Tiger suddenly dashed out of the forest. After glancing at the group, it quickly fled.
"This isn't good, that beast!" Yun Anuar's face changed dramatically. From where the Red Flame Tiger had emerged, several pitch black serpents swiftly slithered out. Upon spotting the group, they immediately abandoned their pursuit of the tiger, their emotionless snake eyes fixed on the people.
"Hiltan Serpents!" Yun Suhaila's voice trembled with slight terror.
Blaze Regret's expression also grew serious. These Hiltan Serpents were all mid tier fifth rank spirit warrior beasts. This meant that aside from him and Yun Anuar, the others lacked the strength to contend with them.
"Hiss!"
More Hiltan Serpents dropped from the branches, revealing parts of their bodies. Their foul smelling mucus left marks on the leaves.
Seeing so many Hiltan Serpents, everyone's faces turned grim. The few on the ground were already difficult enough to deal with, and now more were appearing. Who knew how many more were hidden in the shadows?
"Blaze Regret, protect them," Yun Anuar instructed, looking at Blaze Regret. Fifth rank spirit beasts weren't too troublesome to handle, but if the Hiltan Serpents attacked Yun Suhaila and the others, it would be a real headache.
"Leave it to me," Blaze Regret nodded, stepping back a few paces with the others to clear the battlefield.
The Red let out a low growl, Blue flames igniting on its claws, casting a scorching aura through the forest.
After a brief silence, the Hiltan Serpents shot out like arrows, entangling with the swooping Wind Scythe Bird.
The Wind Scythe Bird, a seventh rank spirit beast, lived up to its reputation. Every time a blue light flashed, a Hiltan Serpent was sliced in half. The sharp double scythes on its head clicked and shimmered with a faint blue glow.
As one Hiltan Serpent fell, another immediately took its place. The Hiltan Serpents hidden in the shadows seemed endless, continuously surging forward.
"Don't they know fear?" Blaze Regret frowned slightly.
"Forget it. Hiltan Serpents are spirit beasts that never know the meaning of fear unless you kill them all," Muk Karthik said with a bitter smile, shaking his head.
"Slash!"
The Red slashed down with its claws, sending a red arc of light that cut a Hiltan Serpent in half, sweeping its severed body far away. Clearly, the beast was displeased with these creatures that continued to writhe even when cut in two.
Noticing that the defense on this side was weaker, many Hiltan Serpents began to change direction and surged toward the group. The sound of their slithering sent chills down the spine.
"Whoosh!"
A lightning fast black shadow shot down from the treetop, aiming directly at Yun Suhaila. The Red quickly leaped up, pinning the Hiltan Serpent to the ground. However, without the Red's suppression, the serpents that had been kept at bay by the flames started to crawl rapidly toward them again.
