176 THE OLD HERMIT 2

"Chan Gu, don't say that. We all know that you have the best interest at heart when you told us about your findings."

"Fan Lei is right. It is no one's fault. Besides, what you told is not entirely wrong. It is just that, we missed the part that the snow dragon, who happens to knew soul beguilement is no longer available."

Long Fuzi seconded when he heard the melancholy and self-blame in Chan Gu's voice.

"But, how long would it take for the little snow dragon to learn about soul beguilement??"

Mu Lingxi asked, reminding her friends that the situation is not yet entirely hopeless.

"It will still take around another one hundred years before this small fledgling could evolve into a full-grown dragoness."

The old hermit replied with a helpless sigh. It's not that he wants to crush the hope in their eyes, but he knew that putting their hope on the little snow dragon is pointless.

When they heard the estimation coming from the old hermit itself, the group felt more depressed than ever.

Does it mean that our trip all the way here was wasted???

"When you said that your friend had a problem related to the soul, what do you mean by that?"

Recalling about what the young lad said, the old hermit noticed one crucial information.

As someone who accompanies the snow dragon on the peak of its glory, the old hermit also knows a bit or two about soul arts. Although one cannot say that he was proficient in this field.

"I have a magical beast that is under a deep slumber. Her soul is in a dormant state and we are looking for ways to awaken her."

Since Schoolmaster Yin had forbidden them to tell anyone about what happened back in the land of Echurid, Long Yue and the others had no choice but not to tell the old hermit about the entire situation.

But nonetheless, they were still able to give him some bits of information related to Luna's condition. At the very least, they just need to conceal the news regarding the culprit behind Luna's tragedy.

"As far as I know, a magical beast only opt-in going to deep sleep to preserve their life force. May I asked what happen before she fell into a deep slumber?"

"This...."

When the old hermit saw their conflicted expression, he instantly understands that there is something deeper about this matter. But he won't force them to spill it either if they don't feel like telling him about it.

"You don't have to tell me about it if it will put you on the spot. But can I at least see your friend? Maybe I can do something about it?"

The old hermit offered. It was rare for him to see young warlocks nowadays. He was slightly surprised and at the same time, delighted about this sudden visit.

It's been a long time since he had any contact with the outside world. He would be lying if he will going to say that he was not missing the company of a fellow human.

The reason he was staying deep in the Cloud Mist Ridge is not that he hates getting along with others.

It was due to the condition of the little snow dragon. The crystal cavern is the best environment for her to grow and mature as a full-grown dragoness.

Besides, the old hermit also knew that reaching the location of the crystal cavern is not an easy task. If so, among those countless travelers that tried their luck in searching for the old hermit and the legendary snow dragon before, there should have been at least a handful of them that succeeded.

But to date, there is none. Only these group of young warlocks before him was able to locate the crystal cavern.

Way back, when he was venturing this Cloud Mist Ridge, it was an abominable snowman who help him find his way. Could it be that they, met the same guide?

Regardless of how they were able to successfully reach the crystal tavern, it was still obvious that they had come a long way.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.
