Chapter 645 Avoid those spots
Alec's figure flashed through the darkness as he sprinted towards the place where he had seen the lightning a while ago.
He moved swiftly, but even at full speed, when he finally arrived, all that greeted him were piles of bones and shattered land.
His anxious eyes searched the surroundings for the silver-haired man, but Kyle was nowhere in sight.
"Where could he have gone?"
He asked Soul, but the system reminded him that he hadn't marked Kyle and Bia's bodies, so it couldn't track their whereabouts.
"How am I gonna track him down? I gotta give him a heads-up about the looming danger! I can't deal with this by myself!"
He tried to reach out to Kyle through the communication crystal, but like before, the man didn't pick up. Alec took a deep breath.
"I need to stay calm and think this through. It's okay if I can't find Kyle now. Considering him, he will cause another big commotion soon. I should reach out to the others first and fill them in on what's coming."
Alec started reaching out to everyone. He didn't reveal the system's presence and simply informed them that he possessed a divine artifact and had sensed through it that the tomb they were in would be destroyed within twenty days.
They didn't doubt his words. Sinon, Jian, and Nine, initially thought that he was joking with them. Yet, upon hearing his solemn voice, they became alert.
Regardless, all of them had only one question: why would the lost treasure tomb, which had been fine for countless years, suddenly explode?
Eventually, everyone Alec knew was aware of the impending danger, except for three individuals. The first two were Kyle and Bia. The third individual was the half-dragon.
Asher had separated from the group to locate Kyle after they dispersed in various directions, and they forgot to ask for his communication crystal coordinates.
Inside a trial ground, Yue tried to reach Kyle through the communication crystal after Alec contacted her but got no response.
"Just where is he?"
She whispered with concern in her eyes. Similarly, the others also exerted their best efforts to contact Kyle, but it appeared that the silver-haired man and the phoenix accompanying him had vanished entirely; no one could reach them.
Completely unaware, the silver-haired human fell unconscious after his body attained the supreme rank. Eventually, Bia had to pick him up and take him to a safe location away from the undead.
Inside another structure constructed from layers of stacked rocks, Bia let out a sigh as she glanced at Kyle. He lay there sleeping with a peaceful expression.
-"He pushed his body too hard. I don't even want to wake him up."
She could feel his calm heartbeat. It was a tad slower than usual, but he was okay. His body had just become too worn out after going through so much in such a short time.
-"I doubt anyone except the people who know him would believe me if I said that within just a few days of entering the lost treasure tomb, Kyle leaped from the divine rank to the end of the transcendent rank, and his physique and strength even attained the supreme rank."
She flapped her wings and settled down beside his body with a sigh.
-"I'm hungry... I wanna eat something. Everyone has a mind space, why the heck don't I have one? It's so unfair."
Bia's eyes flashed with frustration, and to vent it, she started pulling Kyle's hair. But he didn't even budge.
-"Sleep, just sleep! I'm gonna end up dead from hunger by the time you wake up!"
A day passed, then another, and by the end of the third day, Alec had located everyone with the assistance of the marks he placed on them through the system, except for Kyle, Bia, and Asher. He let out a sigh.
'Kyle found everyone in just a day with his skill alone, and it took me three whole days to gather them all.'
They were all gathered above the very rock formation where Kyle found Regius because they discovered through Regius that the three massive statues around the rock formation held the inheritance of some powerful individuals.
Nine moved toward Alec with furrowed brows as everyone around them glanced at the three massive statues encircling the rock formation.
"Which one should we enter? Also, I don't think we will find the exit of this tomb through the trial grounds."
Carcel nodded at his words.
"Just like Regius mentioned, these trial grounds contain the inheritance of strong individuals. I am sure their inheritance is unrelated to the tomb's exit."
Alec glanced at the system screen. His eyes were fixed on the map the system had created after thoroughly examining the entire tomb with all its resources.
"I'm uncertain, and we're left with no other option. We could split up and go in different directions, but unforeseen events could occur at any moment. I don't want us to be scattered when we might need each other. That's why I gathered you all."
Alec went over the whole map and noticed that Soul had pinpointed three locations on it. The first two marks were small, and the third one indicated his current location.
'Soul, can you shed some light on what the other two locations you marked on the map represent? Are they also trial grounds?'
The system fell silent for a moment. It had depleted a significant portion of its power while investigating the tomb and knew that it would require several years to recuperate. Alec's eyes flashed with surprise upon reading Soul's response.
______
Avoid those spots.
______
'Why?'
The people around Alec noticed him gazing into the air but didn't disturb him.
Having known him for so long, they understood that he was utilizing some kind of artifact or power to gather information.
Alec's eyes flickered with disbelief when the system responded.
______
I detected two powerful spiritual creatures in those spots. If I'm not mistaken, they are Celestial spirits. You aren't strong enough to battle them yet. They will devour you.
______ n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
This was the longest response he had gotten from the system.
'Celestial spirits...?'
