Spirit Guardian Summoning - Chapter 84 Approaching Danger

“That’s it.” Said Rainer after carefully harvesting the corpse fungus, although it could be eaten to gain a small resistance to poison, he preferred to keep it and collect other herbs to improve its effects, after all this was the first test day, there was still a week ahead.

After a short break, Rainer decided to leave when he noticed that a small stone shone dimly in the sunlight coming down from the large tree leaves.

The glow came from the ape’s corpse.

After looking closely, Rainer found that the ape possessed a spiritual core despite being in the Manifestation stage as he was!

“I had never heard of a magical beast able to form its spiritual core before a breakthrough to the Core Formation stage …” Rainer muttered after keeping the little green jewel.

Rainer continued his way without realizing that the little jewel was filled with gas flowing in its interior attempting to break its crystal prison, the gas looked like a ghostly face opening and closing its jaws like a beast….

Shortly after Rainer left the scene, the ape’s corpse decayed at a vertiginous speed! Its flesh and blood were absorbed by the ground as its bones sank in order to never again be exposed to sunlight.

The Sacred Land was alive! This little world was a living being with consciousness!

…

Outside the Sacred Land, Kirios appeared shortly after Yunli had left upon opening the Sacred Land for the new disciples.

He took a badge out of his pocket and pointed it towards the small world’s entrance.

“I was fortunate to keep this badge before my status as a sect elder was removed from me…” Kirios muttered while the entrance in front of him was expanding.

After crossing the entrance to the small world, an air full of miasma made him feel like he was in his Alchemical Room.

“Since I’m here, I’d better supply my poisonous herb stock while looking for the boy.” Kirios said as he entered the wetlands.

…

The night quickly descended over the Sacred Land as the disciples were seeking refuge in caves and nooks, the night was the time when predators went out to hunt and therefore, the most dangerous hours.

One could be ambushed by a magical beasts herd if he walked aimlessly in the dark night.

Not even the moonlight was able to pass through the thick branches and leaves of the wood, plunging it into a total darkness.From time to time you could hear the crunching of branches or dead leaves, the beasts’ breath caused cold sweat to run down the backs of young lads who could not find shelter in time and would have to spend the night awake to avoid being devoured.

In a small cave, Rainer cooked the meat of the previous cave owner, a first rank Wind Wolf that was not a big problem to our main character.

Although the wolf meat was hard, the spiritual energy contained in its flesh was a quicker and more efficient way of recovery.

He devoured the flesh like a spirit who died of starvation, while swallowing the second piece of meat, Rainer observed his left wrist tattoo, the Irkalia bracelet.

After using it in Pearl City and draining its energy beyond its limits, the bracelet went into suspension mode and proceeded to slowly regain its energy, it was a pity that Rainer was unable to estimate how long it would take for the bracelet to regain its full strength.

“…!”

His chest tattoo with a howling white wolf’s head seemed to beat and emit a heat wave as if it said it was there with him.

“You better get out of there fast, Helgo, I haven’t seen such a long hibernation in my life… “Rainer muttered as he ripped a piece of flesh from the bone.

…

Crack!

Back in the Viper Sect, in a room full of shiny badges, one of the badges began to tremble until it cracked and finally broke.

A blond Elder who seemed to be in charge of that hall had a look of impotence as he removed the cracked badge and placed it on a small pile of broken badges.

“Another badge has been destroyed, that means another disciple has just died!” Said the Elder in charge of the Administration Hall.

“Wang Luo,send an urgent report to the Elders responsible of the test, ten disciples have died in a single night! Something or someone is hunting the future seeds of our Sect!” Shout Chen Feng, the elder in charge.

A short, chubby young man came into the room as he struggled in search of air.

“I’ll do it right now, Elder Chen!” Answered the young man named Wang Luo, he had witnessed how one the jade badges were destroyed one by one in a matter of a few hours.

“I was fortunate that I was not allowed to go to Sacred Land or I could have been one of those miserable folks…” Wang Luo muttered as he ran in search of the Elders who were responsible of the test.
