338 Frozen Basin

Frozen Basin

They took one month to reach the periphery of the fifty fifth Manias, it was longest journey ever for Jen especially the flight was exceptionally faster than guardian beasts, during this Jen learned to absorb essence while hovering on custodian.

Jen thought to use transfer blazon to reach the seventh Manias, if they kept continue this journey they might lost courage to stand the extreme weather of the Frozen Basin.

She wore a thick upper gown to save herself from the winds, since she was a legend now she could use transfer blazon with ease.

The custodians split and followed, transfer blazon was not a sign of worry for them.

In half a day, Jen reached the seventh Manias.

"I think there is something serious going on in this Manias," as soon as Jen came out of the transfer blazon, she noticed.

"This is seventh ranking Manias and among the biggest population, they might be having some contest or there are several ways to keep the population active for the betterment," the custodians did not notice.

"If there were some contest, there must be some excitement but the overall scenario is tense, just go around and check what is going on," Jen ordered.

In this Manias, they don't need to care about their appearance among the population because most of the elders and geniuses possess their own escort sentients of different races so if custodians would fly around then they would be considered a rare race of beast and not suspicious creature.

The last hunter who was chased by the guardian beast recently left the seventh Manias and entered in the frozen basin void, he was sent by the Omega to spy the activities of the elders, their aim was yet to accomplish, the son of the elder was still alive and the hunters don't want to ruin their reputation in front of the expert of upper sphere.

If they performed hundred percent, there was chance that the expert would use the new method on their bodies so that they could get normal human appearance.

It would be easier for them to live among the humans and kill supreme legends.

"People are talking about suspicious man who was chased by the guardian beast, he entered in the void not long ago," the custodian came back after peaking some conversation between cultivators.

"We have to be more careful when entering in the void," the other custodian added.

"Let's not waste time and move," Jen was not worried because if there were guardian beast to take care then she could just move on toward the frozen basin.

"Are you worried about the cold?" Jen looked at the custodians, they were looking tired.

"Master, custodians don't feel anything much less cold, the frozen basin will be a tough place for the master since it is covered with snow and frosty winds," the custodians expressed their concerns.

"I hope it could help, if I hesitated to search the herb and wasted time, there is a threat that the hunters might visit the dark region again, there is limited amount of time and I have to find the caravan of hunters, at least now I have clue about their appearance too," she adjusted her clothing and tried to walk, they were heading out of the seventh Manias to enter in the Frozen Basin void.

"We are at the beck and call of the master," the custodians spoke in unison.

"Can we get a map for this void?" Jen asked, it would be easy to find the herb if they had the map.

"The Frozen Basin constantly change its appearance because of the snowfall, it is impossible to foot out landmark in such situation, we will try our best to follow according to the previous visit and it may lead us toward the underground vale," the custodians now took the lead and explained.

There was small distance between the seventh Manias exit fiber and frozen basin void.

The air became dense and they could feel the abrupt change in the weather.

Jen slowly emitted the warm breath to see the sight in front of her, it was indeed wondrous place, the wind was currently silent but the snowfall was making it harder to keep the traces of the footsteps, well there was only Jen and her footsteps.

The custodians were confused to see, previously they saw a snowy mountain on the left but now there was only a crater where the snow burying itself, did the mountain collapse?

They shook smoky bodies and tried their best to find some clue of their present location so that they could move toward the underground vale.

Jen was facing difficulty while walking on the soft snow, her warm breath as soon as touched the outside dense air, it appeared as thick fog.

She carefully wrapped herself to keep warm.

The custodians were still wreaking their memories to find the clue.

Jen soon felt that she cannot bear this cold anymore, she caught the rare stone which she was not using in her cultivation and saving it for the bad time, this would give her enough energy to sustain this cold, she started to cultivate while walking with snail pace.

The hunter who was sent to spy the seventh Manias returned and he was injured too.

He reached the Omega and fell on his knees, "The guardian beast is still in the Manias and the elder has taken his son somewhere unknown place," he reported.

"How did you get wounded?" the Omega looked at him with fiery eyes, this fool came right in their den, did not he think what would happened if the guardian beast decide to follow him?

"The guardian beast attacked but I make sure that no one was following me when I left the seventh Manias," the hunter shuddered and dragged his body backward.

"It should be as you retorted else I will kill you on the spot," the Omega stood up and started walking around.

If the guardian beast keep guarding then they should leave this void and find weaker supremes and kill them, this void was dangerous and they cannot stay longer here, accidently they found this underground vale and were spared from the fatal frosty winds outside.

The Omega creased his brows, it was much time but he did not receive any news from the dark region, the leader he appointed for that region promised him that he would clear the whole region and chase away other tribes so that hunters could live there without worry and then work for the upper sphere with ease, many years ago they had their permanent place for stay but it was destroyed by the Sky Thunder Martinet.

Somehow Xuan Rong got news or it was by chance that Sky Thunder Martinet was doing his practice in the empty region, no one knew that hunters were living there with utmost silence.

It must be the case.

"Omega, we have to leave this void because no matter how much powerful beast blood we consume, it is hard to keep the warmth of the body, if we did not leave we might end our lives here," a hunter who could cater some courage spoke.

"We have to wait until the junior leader sent some news," the Omega cannot take his whole caravan openly especially after they were spotted by the guardian beast, before this they were able to hide their identity but now it was no more hidden.

"I think this crater and the place is different, we did not enter from this path before, we should investigate this crater," the custodian looked behind at the master, Jen was walking very slowly and carefully.

Since she was cultivating, the cold was no more affecting her much, the thick warm clothes were helpful too.

"Master, we are heading toward the crater to see what it is," the custodian voiced.

"Wait, I will follow too," Jen answered and started to follow them, the custodians were looking down because they were not walking but Jen was looking at the soft snow with every step, she noticed red snow.

Jen was surprised and looked at the sky, there was only white snow coming down, she bent a little and touched the red snow, she carefully inspect and for sure there were few more places where the red snow could be seen.

Jen stared at the red snow and was shocked, it was blood dripped on the snow, fresh blood of some human?

"Stop there, don't go further," Jen voiced to stop the custodians.

They stopped and looked back.

The human or whoever run from the seventh Manias is there inside the crater or around this crater," Jen spoke, it was just an observation but necessary to keep it mind.
