Chapter 1139 Hundred Devil Thunder Archipelago
"Great danger zones... Hundred Devil Thunder Archipelago..." Nadia’s pupils trembled as she glanced back at the dark clouds that flashed with lightning and resounded with thunder. However, her brows squinted in confusion.
"What’s a great danger zone...?"
Davis dropped his head felt as if he received a mental hit to the back of his head. He chuckled a bit, cursing himself for selfishly thinking that she would know. Her beauty had blinded his judgment, making him think that she was rather a knowledgeable person even though the fact that she was a magical beast was established in his mind.
He turned to look at her and squinted his eyes.
’Can this be considered charm arts...? Or just my man’s brain playing tricks on me...?’
She had this mysterious aura that made her appear graceful and dignified even though she was quite simple-minded at the moment. He knew that it should be because of her King-Tier Bloodline.
In any case, he returned his gaze to the Hundred Devil Thunder Archipelago and explained, "A great danger zone is commonly known as a danger zone along with other low-level danger zones. Many people wouldn’t bother to differentiate them unless a Ninth Stage existence is in control of the danger zone, and this Hundred Devil Thunder Archipelago precisely doesn’t have a Ninth Stage existence anymore."
"Anymore...? That means a Ninth Stage existence was here in the past?" Nadia’s voice became curious.
"Seems like it..." Davis nodded as he smiled, "Apparently, it is written in records that the Alstreim Family’s Founding Ancestor killed it at that time..."
Before coming here, he made sure to learn about the Hundred Devil Thunder Archipelago’s history. It only took a few minutes for him to finish ninety thousand years of content about this great danger zone.
"That’s why it is no longer known as a great danger zone, but it is still classified as one because of the high death rate..."
"High death rate..." Nadia pursed her lips, "That means even many experts die, right?"
"That’s right. I read that Grand Elder Elise Alstreim’s husband and Nora Alstreim’s father and mother had also lost their lives here. They were Eighth Stage Experts to boot..."
Nadia narrowed her eyes, quickly grasping the level of danger, "I will protect you, master."
Davis chuckled in response, "Don’t worry. I don’t plan on entering these life-threatening, hazardous zones within the danger zones, so I guess I wouldn’t die for no reason. However, I would like to hunt some treasures like Lightning Elementals if one was present..."
"After all, the Derelict Extinction Lightning that I obtained from the Alstreim Family was also from this great danger zone. Accurately, it was captured in the danger zone known as Dark Thunder Island, which is merely one of the islands in this Hundred Devil Thunder Archipelago."
"Master, Lightning Elementals are rare, but I hope you are able to find one... If not, let’s plunder the Alstreim Family’s Treasury."
Davis nodded as he laughed, "Indeed, Lightning Elementals are extremely rare in the first place, but with this strategic location in their hands, the Alstreim Family has secured Lightning Elementals whenever they had appeared in front of their people at first notice."
"Nevertheless, I doubt they have Emperor Grade Lightning Elementals or Peak-Level King Grade Elementals in stock as they either end up selling those Lightning Elementals for a high price to the other Eastern Territories or try to use it for themselves but never had much success other than a few unorthodox talented individuals in the Alstreim Family’s history."
While they made their way towards the northern part of the island for a few thousand meters, Davis finally slowed as he saw more trees appear in his sight. They were lush and green with fruits and leaves, but this small part of the island seemed to be subjected to drizzle, and judging by the size of the trees, which stretched thirty meters tall, it seemed to have been present for a long time, soaking in the rainfall for who knows how long?
Otherwise, he felt that there was no way these trees could’ve grown this tall, bearing fruits and leaves.
Davis’s eyes twitched as he wondered what was wrong with this great danger zone’s weather. Surrounding this rainy area was a barren land where only a few strands of grass were capable of growing before being destroyed by a stray lightning bolt, but in this rainy area, it was full of grass and plantation.
He even spotted a Peak-Level Earth Grade Herb from this far.
Abruptly, a flash of light appeared and struck a tree, causing it to burst into flames instantly! But at the same time, the drizzle immediately stopped the flames from spreading and extinguished them.
"Oh..." Davis blinked and realized. He forgot such a simple thing in this strange environment.
No wonder the environment in this particular area was not barren but possessed the aura of vitality.
Suddenly, Davis noticed the tree that got stuck by the lightning bolt reacted strangely. The single fruit it bore, that fruit glowed in a violet hue, causing him to be taken aback.
’A treasure...? No... Doesn’t seem like it with its aura...’
It simply fell from the tree and rolled around before his mouth went agape in astonishment.
It disappeared!
Accurately, it didn’t disappear but was taken into the ground.
He narrowed his eyes and saw that there was a hole. He stopped from moving as he saw a magical beast peek out of that hole with that glowing fruit in its long-nail hands.
"An armadillo...?" Davis uttered in a low voice.
The yellow armored, three-banded armadillo was just about to take a bite into the fruit as it opened its mouth, revealing rows of jagged teeth. However, it went stiff and slowly turned to look at Davis, their gazes connecting.
"..."
There was a moment of silence before Davis reacted with a smile, waving his hands.
"Hello..."
The armadillo’s red pupils shrunk before its mouth opened wide!
"WRYYYY!!!~~~."
Davis’s eyes widened in shock as he heard its strange cry! He couldn’t help but curse.
"Fuck! Did Dio somehow cross worlds!?"
