Reborn To Become A Heavenly Serpent - Chapter 18

1 month departed by in a twinkling of one’s eyes.

The gentle sunlight soaked the land with the usual as the wild creatures committed to their day-to-day routine.

Someplace next to a river… a group of well-equipped human soldiers is traveling about along the slightly clear path next to it. Trekking down the river as if they were searching for something.

Among the group of soldiers, a woman in red scarlet armor with long reddish hair stood proudly in the middle while fidgeting with a translucent screen in front of her.

*Beep* *beep* *beep*

“Hey, Keylon… are you sure this device is working?”

Asked the woman towards a man standing next to her.

Standing proudly at the height of 1.9 meters with a long and loose black robe. A huge metallic staff seems to be connected to his back added with the white smirking mask.

Hearing the woman’s doubtful words, he answered back casually in politeness.

“My lady, this device is 100% working. it just that we might still not be in the approximated area yet. We will have to venture a little bit longer… sooner or later it will tell us if any changes occurred”

“Well… alright then. But I warn you this one time… if this plan failed because of this stupid device. I will send you to the purgatory land.

Remember!…”

“Of course My lady… your orders are at my command”

The man bowed slightly as he clenched his arm onto his ċhėst.

Seeing that her bodyguard doesn’t seem to be deterred. A sense of dissatisfaction thickened inside her heart.

“Humph! let’s move on… I do not want to waste too much time here…”

She snorted slightly while conveying Keylon a chilling stare.

“Yes Milady”

Soon they immediately walked about downwards the river. Following along the narrow path in between the large majestic trees next to it.

–

Hours departed by and it’s already getting dark… and yet they still haven’t found the thing that they had been searching for all this time.

“Arghhh! damn it! You said sooner or later this device will pick up a signal from that place! now tell me what’s happening!. It had been a full day and not a single signal had been detected!”

The woman shouted with anger as she glared at the tall man in front of her.

“My lady… this forest is extremely large. It would be impossible to find that place in one day.”

The man responded politely… as he tried reasoning with the woman.

“Are you trying to question me back! you slave trash! know your place! if not for my father you won’t even be here today!”

The woman quickly retorted with harsh words, seemingly to be mocking him.

“My lady… please calm down. This little one was simply trying to clear things up.”

The man bowed his head with utmost honesty as his words were filled with seriousness. Surely she would believe it.

“This?… mhmm… well what you said does make sense. But I’m hoping to find this place before the tournament proceeded. I need to quickly increase my strength so that I can enter the Capital Academy.”

“Of course my lady. I promise you by the next day. We will be able to find it.”

“Then we will find a temporary shelter for tonight. I’m tired already.”

“Yes, my lady… ”

The men in guard and Keylon all replied in unison and quickly fled off to search for a satisfactory place for sleeping.

Minutes later… luck was on their side as they had found a bȧrėly wide opening next to a river with a C-shaped large ring encircling it. It was exceptionally wide and spacious… added with its layer.

“We will set up a camp here tonight… go set up my tent for me… as for you guys cook me some food.”

“Yes!”

Oddly enough the C-shaped ring doesn’t seem to be “natural” as if it was purposely carved there by someone.

But none of them noticed this tiny issue… since they are putting all of their efforts into setting up the tent.

*Yawn*

“Hey… is the food ready yet?”

“Yes My lady… it is ready now”

one of the soldiers replied as he hurriedly brought to her a plate filled with food.

“Put it on the table now! I’m so hungry! hurry… hurry…”

The woman said as her eyes brightened with happiness. A slight reddish color could be seen on her pale white cheek making her look extremely cute.

“Hurry… hurry! I’m hungry!…”

“Yes, my lady.”

Seeing the orderly arranged food plates on top of the table right in front of her… she immediately picked up a spoon and next dipped it into the taste.

“Mhmm!!!… delicious as always!!!”

Without her realizing it… Keylon is secretly admiring her looks with his silver-colored eyes.

As he glanced towards her cheerful face with a loving expression.

‘You have grown up into such a beautiful woman… though sometimes your words were a little bit harsh. But I don’t mind such things. We had already made a promise before… but sadly you had forgotten about it…’

He secretly mumbled inside his heart. As he appreciates her every movement with a doting expression.

‘Even if I will have to destroy the whole world… if it’s for you then I’m willing’

A flash of silver light glittered inside his eyes. As a firm gaze appeared next.
