Chapter 434 - Changes In The Magical Beasts' Forest
The next day.
Ellis was still out searching for the bamboo forest which had the liquid that Grey wanted. Unfortunately, even after searching the entire night, he still hasn't been able to locate it.
He had seen two bamboo forests during this time, but none of them had what Grey wanted.
Grey on the other hand decided it was best for him to continue exploring the Magical Beasts' forest on his own. He specifically chose the direction Ellis was heading, that way if Ellis were to find the place, he wouldn't have any problems with quickly getting to him.
....
'I think it'll be best if I were to break through to the Ninth stage while I'm here. The essence here is slowly increasing the further I head in, albeit the change is very small.' Grey thought while raising his left hand in the air.
Since leaving the trial land, he couldn't really say that he had focused on cultivating. What he mainly did was either improving his knowledge in arrays or trying to comprehend a new element. His cultivation stage only increased after he comprehended a new element.
Then there was the time he acquired that small ball or red lightning. After he left the Chimera forest, he hasn't really tried to use the red lightning. He still found it odd that he could wield two different types of lightning.
Although both lightning generally has the same characteristics, there are some changes.
'Will I be able to wield a different color of flame later on?' He thought to himself.
This wouldn't be impossible since he could presently wield two types of lightning.
He threw the thought to the back of his mind, for now, he wanted to focus on how to get stronger.
Once he gets to the Ninth stage of the Origin Plane, he would have a difficult task ahead of him, getting to the Overlord Plane. If breaking through to the Origin Plane was difficult, then breaking through to the Overlord Plane was at least fifteen times harder.
"Huh? Damn it!"
Grey's pupils dilated when he saw the lizard appearing within a few meters away from him.
It swung its tail towards him, with no other option, he hastily set up three defensive walls, each made of three elements, the fire, water, and earth element. He also went on to create an earth armor around him just for a little more safety.
Bam! Bang!
The lizard's tail didn't meet any resistance with the first wall which was made of ice, then the one made from fire. It also didn't meet too much of a resistance with the earth wall as well.
Swoosh!
Grey was sent flying when the tail made contact with his body which was covered in earth armor, as well as the blue vest's protection.
Crash! Bang!
He crashed into the ground, sliding into the ground for almost twenty meters, before slamming into a six meters thick boulder.
Crack!
Cracks appeared from where Grey's body crashed with the boulder, before running to the other side of the boulder. It was soon divided into two separate parts.
Grey hastily stood up from the rumble, his earth armor cracked on almost every possible place, while the light the blue vest was giving off was starting to fade.
"What's happening, why are the beasts this far out?" He mumbled to himself.
Overlord Plane beasts weren't supposed to be in this area, yet, not only are they in the area but there are seemingly countless Overlord Plane beasts. Even while trying to evade them, he was still noticed by this giant lizard which had legs that were longer than how the legs of a lizard should be.
The lizard charged towards him once again, it clearly wanted to kill Grey for stepping into its territory.
