Eternal Thief Chapter 449

Published at 15th of October 2022 10:57:46 AM

The White Hill Plains were at the western border of mighty blade province, and this place was called white hills because all year long it was covered in a thick layer of snow and the temperature here wasn't something a mortal could survive in.

White Hill Plains was also the place where ice-type beasts and herbs were found. But this place was also extremely dangerous because of the exact same reason.

The snow storms were constant at this place and anyone could easily bury under the snow or even lose their way.

At this moment, a few miles away from the outskirts of the White Hill Plains, five carriages stopped. Nine demons disembark the carriages.

They were none other than the blade domain expedition team of eight and White Fire.

They had been traveling for fifteen days at full speed and just reached this place.

Ace couldn't help but look at the White Plains as far as his eyes could see and feel the icy temperature. It was his first time coming to such a place filled with snow.

“We're here.” White Fire spoke at this moment. “We'll part ways from here!”

Everyone looked at the White Fire in disbelief. They all know just how large and dangerous this place was, and now he was going to leave them alone here to search for the damaged ruin!

White Fire's lips curled into a stiff smile. “What do you think? I would take you to the damaged ruin myself. Don't flatter yourselves, your actual test is to find your way toward damaged ruin.

“I'll only provide you with a map, nothing else, and you all have five months before I'll take you all back, even if you found nothing. It will consider a failure, and you all will lose your positions.”

White Fire, like everyone's ugly expressions and took out a scroll and toss it toward Feng, and said, “This is the map, good luck…”

With that, White Fire suddenly turned into a blurry image, and before anyone could ask any questions, he was long gone!

“Fuck, we've been screwed by the old man!” Thomas couldn't help but cuss.

Everyone silently agreed with Thomas.

Feng said at this moment with a grave expression, “Well, this much was expected, since it would be too easy to just explore a damaged ruin.”

Alora said at this moment, “We should look at the map before deciding how to move forward. It is very hard to move into this place at night, so we also have to arrange for it as well.”

Although they weren't told the exact location of the damaged ruin but hinted that it was at the border of the mighty blade province, so it wasn't hard to research those few famous locations.

“Shepard, here you'll be in charge of leading the way. I heard you are an expert in this thing, so don't disappoint me.” Feng handed the map to Shepard with a meaningful look.

Shepard was startled for a moment before he received the map. He could feel the hidden pressure in Feng's words and nodded solemnly. He knew this person wasn't someone he could trifle with, even if they were from the same generations.

No one objected to Feng's decision.

Peter utter as he looked at the witness far away, “There are demonic beasts that can easily hide in the snow or camouflage themselves. I have an array barrier, but it consumed too much Qi, but I'll also protect us from ambushes. We can all take turns to keep it active. What do you think?” he looked at Feng.

Feng nodded at his suggestion, “We'll do as you suggest…”

They all discussed other things while Shepard and Carlee discuss the direction they should take on the map.

A mile away, White Fire appeared on a small hilltop.

Thereupon, the ground cracked before a little person appeared from the ground. It was an earthen troll.

He knelt in front of White Fire and said respectfully, “My lord, the preparation is complete.”

White Fire impassively nodded, “Good, don't lose their tracks, and if any danger appeared which they can't handle, contact me post hastily. Also, monitor any new arrivals.”

“Yes, milord.” The earthen troll uttered.

White Fire looked at the team of eight, which had started to move, and mumbled, “Why did I have this strange feeling?”

A week later,

Feng and the party were slowly moving toward their aim.

They had been moving very carefully in this place where all they could see was white and at night; the situation turned even worse.

They also encounter some snow beasts, but they were all weak and easily found by Shepard.

Now, everyone on the team admits Shepard was great at leading and founding danger and without him, they might have a hard time.

However, Ace was completely unfazed by anything, since he could find danger far quicker than Shepard. But he didn't reveal and play his role as Feng.

He also long noticed they were being followed, and their source was under the ground, which give him some idea who was following them, so he wasn't worried about this tail.

But he still didn't find White Fire, and he mused that the guy was either out of his range or excellent at hiding, which he doubted.

Nevertheless, Ace was looking forward to that ruin because one reason was Alora was with him and that might be the place where she might receive that golden opportunity, or he might find something interested.

At this moment, Thomas approached him and said in a low voice, “It seemed we're being watched, but I can't tell the source. Could it be the old man (White Fire)?”

'What a sharp instinct.' Ace couldn't help but praise him because the watchers were keeping at least a four-hundred-meter distance, and he knew Thomas hadn't awakened his soul sense yet.

He pretended to be surprised and replied, “It could only be him, and if not. Then don't worry, I don't think that guy would let anyone powerful approach us who we can't handle.”

Thomas nodded in agreement and suddenly changed the topic, “Brother Feng, Alora seemed to be interested in you, why don't you…” He put on a lewd smile.

Feng's expression darkened, “Scram.”

They all couldn't help but smile wryly. They were now used to Thomas's happy-go-lucky attitude, while Alora's face was turned slightly red as she stared dagger at Thomas.

Carlee couldn't help but giggled as she also teased her friend, “Hehe, is that true?”

“Scram, that brat is slandering me!” She retorted, but she couldn't help but took a glance at Feng's stony face and felt some disappointment.

Although she didn't have any feelings toward him, she was still curious about this prodigy of the blade domain who was even stronger than Jaxx, and his icy demeanor gave him even more charm.

She felt strangely attracted to Feng.

At this moment, Shepard's grave voice rang. “Something is coming this way!”

Everyone became alerted and vigilantly looked around.

They all knew now that Shepard was never wrong about the danger before.

Feng said at this moment, “This isn't a thing, but things! It's already going dark. Deal with it quickly. We have to leave this area. It seemed we have entered some beast's den.”

Just as his voice trailed off,

“Awooo…”

“Awwooooo…”

Ghastly cries rang from afar.

Gibson exclaimed at this moment, “That's definitely a wolf cry and the only wolf that I know who lived in a cold environment like this is Ice Dire Wolf, and they're extremely fast in a snowy environment and can easily mix within snow because they're completely white.

“Not only that, it seemed we have really entered their hunting grounds and if an Ice Dire Wolf King is controlling this pack, then I'm afraid we're facing at least a late fourth-grade beast!”

Gibson had a deep knowledge of demonic beasts and medicinal herbs, so he was mostly their encyclopedia and told them about the weakness of the beasts and their habits.

“How should we deal with them?” Peter asked with a grim expression because now the wolf's cries were becoming more and more vibrant, and it might be a wolf pack.

If they encounter numerous fourth-grade beasts, they might suffer this time.

Gibson's expression was quite ugly as he said, “Those Ice Dire Wolves were proficient in controlling Ice Element, and it's very cumbersome to get close to them. Only fire element practitioners can deal with them.”

“Didn't this mean we have to rely on Alora?” Thomas exclaimed, and they all looked at Alora.

Feng had an Earth Element.

Thomas had Soul Illusion Element.

Peter, Brenna, and Gibson have Silver Metal Element.

Alora had a Dark Fire Element.

Carlee's element was called Violent Woods.

Lastly, Shepard's element was called Soul Waves.

This means that in their group, only Alora was proficient in the fire element, and this tremendously pressured her.

“Don't worry, just support from behind. There's nothing my sword won't cut,” Feng said as he placed his hand on both his sword hilts.

They all looked at the white mist rising in their way!
