Death… And Me

Chapter 4294: Coincidence?

Roan’s Godly Sense couldn’t go very far, at most one kilometer. That probably felt quite restrained compared to what they could see in the Great Void. Nonetheless, during that short moment of activation, Roan noticed a high concentration of Godly Energy coming from a different direction.

Don’t get it wrong. The Godly Sense Range was still more or less a kilometer. However, Godly Pressure released by Godly Creatures could travel much further the more of it you had together. Simply put, there were bound to be quite a few Godly Beasts gathered in the direction Roan was looking.

Roan took one last look at the time. ’It is a little tight, but I guess I can still take a look.’

Yet, before he moved...

*Ding!*

His Ring Communicator received a call. Without another choice, Roan willed for the call to be answered.

One might be wondering how there can be a call outside the Besgol Region since the network inside doesn’t go beyond the Sacred Relic’s Influence. The truth was that the call didn’t arrive from the network in the Besgol Region, but from the airplane Roan’s group used to come to this place.

Each of them was equipped with transmission devices that could be used by the Ring Communicators nearby. Roan hasn’t gone that far, so it was possible to communicate with the other cultivators who used the same airplane.

-Roan, where are you? We are almost finished here,- said Wurshan, the leader of this mission.

”I’m in their nest area still,” Roan answered. ”I think I just found where the Godly Beast Alligators are. I need another fifteen minutes or so to take a look. They seem to be all gathered in the same place.”

-Wait, really? In the nest area? That’s a first.- Wurshan had carried this kind of mission before. Only the females who would lay eggs entered those areas, not staying for long after doing so. -There is only one more reason for the Godly Alligators to enter the nest area: to protect it. However, if they are gathered, it is too risky for you. Godly Beasts are a lot more sensitive when they are out of the Sacred Relic’s Influence. Just knowing they are there is enough. You should return now.-

”Don’t worry,” Roan already began to move. ”I’m adept at hiding, especially some of my skills. Even if they find me, I’m more than confident enough to escape. Let me go there. Fifteen minutes is enough.”

Wurshan pondered a bit. He obviously wanted to know what the Carcatira Alligators were doing, since they were all in the same place. What are they protecting their nests from? -Alright. But if I see that you are attracting them to us, we will immediately get out of here and leave you behind. I’ll give you another two hours to check everything and rush back. We are also leaving if you aren’t here by then.-

”That’s more than enough,” Roan agreed with the terms.

Roan ended the call and activated his cultivation technique in reverse. That immediately caused him to release Godly Pressure from his body. Following that, he used Rean’s Body Transformation Technique to look like the alligators, although he was much smaller.

Just ten minutes, and Roan arrived in the area where you could find the Godly Beasts, and he took a vantage point from a high place... but the sight ahead wasn’t anything Roan was expecting. ’So many corpses...’

Yes, there were corpses everywhere, all from the Carcatira Alligators. The Godly Pressure Roan felt coming from this area was the residual energy coming from those bodies. Another thing Roan noticed was that all their heads had been split open, and their Godly Crystals were missing.

Roan stopped emitting Godly Pressure and stood up from his hiding point. There wasn’t a single beast alive there anymore. Roan jumped down and began to walk around, checking the injuries. ”There has to be at least fifty Godly Beast corpses here...” Roan murmured to himself.

Roan was obviously careful as he checked the area. He could tell that the alligators were killed by some other beast, given the injuries they suffered. ”From the marks, it seems to have been the same one too... A Godly Predator?”

That wasn’t anything rare. The twins’ group checked the network and knew that Godly Beasts also killed themselves for their Godly Crystals. They could increase their level by simply using Celestial Energy and Godly Pressure, but they also gained a lot from eating each other’s crystals.

Roan finally decided to call Wurshan again. This time, he also shared the images of what was happening in this place.

-Over fifty Godly Beast Corpses from Carcatira Alligators?- Wurshan was obviously impressed. Even if the Godly Crystals were missing, just the bone marrows would be worth a lot. Their entire mission was about the bone marrows from the Godly Spawns, and the Godly Beast ones were definitely even better. It’s just that Wurshan didn’t want to focus on Godly Beasts for the sake of safety. He only wanted to complete the mission.

-Wait, then what killed them? Even if our group had gone all out, we would definitely have lost in a matter of minutes, and it would be hard for anyone to survive such a number.- Wurshan naturally had his concerns.

Yet, Roan shook his head. ”I don’t know. There are no traces of it still being around. I can follow its tracks to find where it has gone if you want, but that will take even longer.”

Wurshan pondered a bit. Was that bonus really worth the danger? In the end, he decided to give up. -No, forget it. No doubt a Godly Predator killed them. And for over fifty to die, it has to be a pretty strong one, maybe a Godly Predator close to reaching the Godly Horror Level.-

”Any chances of a Godly Horror?” Roan asked.

-No.- Yet, Wurshan denied that possibility. -Godly Horrors won’t gain anything from eating Godly Beast Crystals. Sure, I won’t say it is impossible for it to be a Godly Horror, but if it were, it hasn’t killed them for the Godly Crystals, at least not for its own gain. It has to be a Godly Predator, although even they wouldn’t gain too much from Godly Crystals of Godly Beasts.-

Roan understood. ”Very well. I’ll go back now.”

-Yes. It is good information, nonetheless. I’ll include that in the repor-

*Tzzzzz...*

”Hum?” Roan narrowed his eyes. The call suddenly ended. He used his mind with the Ring Communicator again, trying to call Wurshan. Unfortunately, he noticed that the airplane’s network signal had disappeared.

[Coincidence?] Sister Orb asked.

’Do you really believe it?’ Roan asked back with a sarcastic tone.

[Yeah, I thought so...]
