Chapter 79

Chapter 79

The island was almost 500 km long, and it was unquestionably a unique zone in the Grand Sea .

Fog eternally perpetuated in this place, as the conflict between the two conflicting temperatures endlessly clashed from the time people found this island .

The left end of the island had seabeds which were extended by the erupting volcano every decade . There were also hidden reefs and molten caves which were used as a hideout or as a home for the magical beasts .

The right end of the island was covered in ice, and the land was frozen widely with small hills that looked like it was encased in ice magma .

Davis walked hand in hand with Ellia to the left side of the island . It was perpetually hot in this place, and their field of vision was quite limited, but Davis had a unique soul which made him sense his surroundings with clarity, so he couldn't help but appreciate the beauty of this island .

Furthermore, he also sensed a bizarre bug flying around him .

'A monitoring bug?' He thought as he guessed . It was all over the island, but the bugs were quite small and almost invisible to the naked eyes, but he could sense them as he had a powerful soul which also made him sensitive to his surroundings .

That said, he confidently walked together with her because he knew that he was not violating the rules of the second round .

The rules only said that the participants were not to hunt a magical beast together . But the rules never stated that the participants cannot travel together .

This was a loophole which was realized by some of the smarter participants, which led them to also travel again with their previous team .

"I never thought that I would get to see the Firzen Island which had been stated in a certain book of the royal library .

" Davis nodded in appreciation . He could see unique plants and herbs which were growing on this island . Most of them were fire attributed herbs which were very useful in alchemy . He collected some herbs and tore those apart as if they were roadside weeds .

These kind of herbs were quite ordinary to him, and he wanted to get a realistic feeling on the internal structure of the herbs .

Ellia followed beside him and curiously looked at his serious expression that was on his face . She personally felt that it was cute .

Then Ellia had a confused expression on her face just when she had realised something .

"Davis, aren't we supposed to be hunting for magical beasts? What are you doing there?

"

"I'm just looking into the internal structure of the herbs so I can learn about it's working and essence when used in alchemy .

" Davis continued his research and didn't look at her .

"But . . . don't you think that something is wrong? We are already in the outer zone, but we haven't encountered any magical beasts! This is kinda weird . . .

" Ellia said in worry as she believed that they should've encountered a magical beast by now .

Davis suddenly froze as he looked at Ellia in horror while pointing behind her .

"Look . . . A Great Serpent!

"

"!!!

" Ellia felt alarmed,

"Ahhh!

" She then immediately screamed as ran behind Davis while cowering her head .

Few moments passed by as nothing happened .

Ellia then opened her eyes and looked at Davis, only to see him having a 'can't hold my laughter' expression on his face .

Her face went red as she embarrassedly screamed,

"Stop playing around! Don't scare me like that!

"

"Calm down, Ellia . Honestly, you have a good sense and perception . Just relax and maintain your vigilance at the same time . I know that it is difficult, but this is something that you should master if you were to become a pro magical beast hunter .

"

A magical beast hunter is just the name that the people have given to people, who mainly hunt beasts for their survival, it isn't an official occupation or anything .

Ellia then discerned that she was stressed out the whole time, even though she acted calmly on the outside . This was a new experience for her, and as a maid, she had seen the scary carcasses of magical beasts which had made her not want to see them alive, walking around .

Davis had his senses and perception heightened thanks to his soul cultivation, so he could maintain his vigilance without being stressed out .

"What you said has a point . But the concept you forgot was that we came to this island openly . We, the 100,000 people who are currently hostiles to the natives of this island . Do you think that those magical beasts will just get slaughtered by us? Even though they can't think or speak like us, they do have sharp instincts . So the magical beasts you were talking about must've run to the inner zone of this side .

"

Suddenly, he grinned as he walked to a tree that looked charred .

"Except some brave magical beasts which are looking to have their own delicious victim!

"

A burst of light passed through the tree vertically, as the tree slowly split into two trunks that fell on each side .

A brown snake slid off the tree as blood washed over the ground gradually . It was 3m in length, but its thickness was quite small . Its scales were brown as if they were burned, though it was not the case as it was a natural scale colour for it .

"A Charred Boa, a High-Level Earth Beast Stage Magical Beast,

" Davis mentioned its name calmly as he collected the core of the snake by cleaving up its head with the spear he used to kill it .

He then smiled at her as he said,

"I wasn't kidding around when I said that there was a great serpent . . .

"

Ellia who was flabbergasted by his method of teaching, nodded her head in appreciation and apology,

"Sorry . . .

"

Davis smiled .

"No need for that, I'm just trying to teach you the best I can . . .

"

Ellia stared at him blankly and wondered, 'Is this the difference between a royal and a commoner? I feel as though I can never reach that place . . . '

No matter how she saw it, he was always ahead of her, even when they are of the same age . Though she thought that this was because of their difference in status, she didn't attribute to it and felt that wasn't the case .

Suddenly, she discerned something and had a mocking smile on her face, 'How ugly am I? Without even realising it, I was taking advantage of his kindness to improve myself? Heh, it was too arrogant of me to even think of always staying by his side, much less berate him . '
