54: Chapter 53: Demonic Beasts Explore Burning Hillock (Fourth update!)_1

It wasn’t until almost noon that a group of people arrived late.

The short and chubby woman leading them, with plain features, could not compare to Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow.

However, she was now wearing the armor of a Prescott, sitting on her warhorse, and looking down condescendingly, she asked, “You must be Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow, from Horizon Bureau General?”

Vanessa pinched her nose and saluted, “That’s right, greetings, Lord Prescott.”

The other party smiled silently, then raised her horsewhip, “Good, lead the way.

We won’t rest, official business comes first.

Let’s head to the Extinct Village.”

Vanessa was furious, cursing in her heart: Abigail Turner, gloating over your newfound power!

Having enjoyed her moment of authority, Abigail did not dare to neglect her public duties.

On the way, she asked, “There are two things for my visit this time: the Burning Hillock and the Ghost Beings.

How is the investigation into the Ghost Beings by your subordinate, the Trial Training General?”

Vanessa unhappily replied, “No progress.”

How could there be any progress?

All Owen Bertram had been focusing on lately was improving the Howling of the Wolf.

Abigail was dissatisfied, “How can you be so negligent?

Are you too lenient on your subordinates, General Vanessa?”

Vanessa turned her head and glared at her fiercely.

…

Blair transformed into a ball of pitch-black mist and slowly emerged from the water.

There was still a distance of seven or eight miles from Burning Hillock here.

This small river was the closest waterway to Burning Hillock.

Blair didn’t know that a few years ago, the prosperous water system around the village could directly reach the bottom of Burning Hillock, but in recent years, the rivers near Burning Hillock had dried up one by one.

Blair saw that Burning Hillock rose hundreds of feet high, like a giant steamed bun pressed down on the ground, spanning a vast area, probably covering dozens of miles.

There was nothing but desolation and no vegetation growing all around.

Broken rocks were scattered everywhere, as if they had experienced countless years of wind and frost.

Deathly silence enveloped the entire Burning Hillock; there wasn’t even a single insect to be seen.

He saw a giant lizard, more than ten feet long, stealthily emerging from the riverside jungle and searching for prey.

Yet, it instinctively avoided the area of Burning Hillock and did not dare to cross the Thunder Pond by a single step.

After thinking about it, Blair split a wisp of black mist and drilled it into the brain of the giant lizard.

Within a moment, he took control of the creature and changed its direction, heading towards Burning Hillock.

The boundary between Burning Hillock and its surroundings was distinct.

Lush vegetation grew on one side, while the other side was barren and filled with broken rocks.

As soon as the giant lizard crossed this boundary, Blair sensed a scorching and burning intent.

“Strange…” Blair muttered in secret, “The evil energy near the village indeed comes from Burning Hillock, and its essence is the same.

But why are the manifestations so different?

In the village, it’s cold poison, yet within the Burning Hillock area, it’s scorching heat?”

Blair sensed the giant lizard’s instinctive resistance to entering Burning Hillock.

As they went deeper, the resistance grew even stronger.

After only advancing a dozen feet, Blair almost couldn’t suppress the lizard’s instincts.

He had no choice but to split another wisp of black mist and inject it into the lizard’s body to strengthen his control.

Then he also sensed that the scorching heat within the area of Burning Hillock had already caused damage to the giant lizard.

He controlled the lizard to walk about a hundred feet away, and the accumulated heat within the lizard’s body suddenly erupted, turning the lizard into ashes in an instant with a wave of flames!

The speed was so fast that he didn’t even have time to withdraw the black mist he had split before it was incinerated as well.

Blair frowned secretly, how could this be the case?

A giant lizard, and he hadn’t even managed to see anything clearly, even losing the black mist he had split.

Blair spread the black mist along the river, quickly finding the second ferocious beast, a wild boar with six tusks, thick-skinned and muscular, even more powerful than the giant lizard.

After controlling the wild boar, he continued to investigate Burning Hillock, reaching a distance of 150 feet, only to be burnt to ashes once more.

Caught off guard, Blair lost another wisp of black mist.

Gradually, Blair discovered a pattern: The more powerful the ferocious beast, the deeper it could venture into Burning Hillock.

However, at the same time, controlling a more powerful beast required Blair to split even more black mist.

He searched carefully and finally found a Tier-1 Demon Beast in a huge cave by the riverbank.

This was a Three-Headed Armored Beast, with a body as huge as 15 feet in size.

Its silver-armored scales, shining with radiance, were even more solid than the armor of many cultivators.

To control this Demon Beast, Blair had to split almost half of his own black mist.

Blair was very weak at this time.

So long as he could investigate the situation within Burning Hillock, all these sacrifices would be worth it.

The huge Three-Headed Armored Beast huffed and puffed as it barged into the area of Burning Hillock.

It managed to venture three miles without being incinerated, and Blair finally let out a sigh of relief, filled with expectations for this exploration.

…

In the cave on the cliff, Owen Bertram took a deep breath, looking exhausted, but smiling, “At last, it’s a success.”

The appearance of the Spiritual Pomegranate Sniper was completely different from the Howling of the Wolf.

The Howling of the Wolf had an exquisite design and a wolf head decoration that could open and close.

It looked very impressive.

However, the Spiritual Pomegranate Sniper that Owen Bertram had transformed was characterized by one thing: practicality. novelbuddy.cσ๓

A dark iron tube, more than seven feet long and as thick as an arm, was somewhat clumsy for a person to operate, but it was just right when mounted on a Mechanical Dao Soldier.

Owen Bertram couldn’t help but be intrigued: Should he find a place to test its power?

He had refined three “Spirit Bullets” along the way, but there weren’t many Spirit Jades, so he couldn’t refine too many.

Owen thought about where to go for the test?

Definitely not around the village; it’s best not to disturb anyone.

An idea struck him: Burning Hillock!

There was a wide-open space around Burning Hillock, far away from the village, and it would also reveal the true power of the weapon.

Owen Bertram quickly left the cave and, being very familiar with the surroundings of the village, easily arrived outside Burning Hillock.

On the way, he even came across two rows of giant footprints, not knowing which giant beast had left them at night.

Owen climbed a big tree and hid in the dense branches and leaves, where he wouldn’t be seen.

Then he looked around.

He wanted to find a large rock within the area of Burning Hillock for target practice.

But he couldn’t be too close to Burning Hillock, or it would likely trigger a series of changes within it.

Then Owen slapped his forehead, realizing his mistake; there were only broken rocks within Burning Hillock, where could he find a huge rock for a target?

Unexpectedly, at this very moment, a dazzling silver light appeared on the broken rocks outside Burning Hillock.

“Huh?” Owen was surprised, wasn’t that a target?

How could a demon beast lose its mind and head towards Burning Hillock?

Any wild beast around the village would keep its distance from Burning Hillock.

But Owen didn’t want to think too much about these issues; as he impatiently longed to test his weapon’s power, he couldn’t care less.

Owen raised the Spiritual Pomegranate Sniper, aiming at the silver light!
