Chapter 1354 Again?

1354 Again?

Ryu didn't know about the commotion caused on the Fifth Plane due to the appearance of this person, nor the sudden alerting of the much higher Planes of existence as a result. All he knew was that the three hour timer in his head was about to hit zero.

'It's about time,' Ryu thought.

They had traveled quite a distance into the rainforest and most everyone was drenched in sweat but lanjor, Empana, and, of course, Ryu and Mae. This was because of none other than Little Silk.

As they had moved, wasting time, Ryu wasn't entirely idle. He was analyzing the water vapor around him, something that came like second nature due to his Cosmic Seed. Unfortunately, because his Dao Heart was shattered, his progress was limited as though his talent was sitting behind a filter of some sort.

Even so, his speed was blazing, so much so that it was hard to imagine what it would have been like had it not been filtered like this. He grasped over 90% of the secrets in just an hour and was already able to direct Little Silk to undo it and cast a cooler domain around them. By the end of the third, he had grasped 100% of it and felt like a fish in water.

Suddenly, he flipped a hand over and revealed his Matrix before swiftly putting it away. Then, he urged Little Silk to turn and shot in a certain direction.

The others looked toward one another and were about to move forward swiftly. However, they stopped, looking toward Empana first after a moment of hesitation. The Lizard Demon Race wasn't made up of fools, they realized that their actions before were questionable.

Empana inwardly shook his head before shooting after Ryu. Only then did the others follow.

'This entire rainforest should be a formation of twisting water vapor. There's a minimum of three sources, likely up to 12 in total. They can only be located in hyper specific areas and this one should be the closest.'

Not even a dozen minutes later, Ryu and the others appeared in a particular region. It was a rare section of the rainforest that was clear of tall, thick trees. In fact, it was the first time they had come across such a place.

Not only was it a clearing, but the vegetation in the immediate area looked as though they had been burnt to a crisp. But oddly enough, the humidity in this region was the lowest they had come across as the others finally felt as though they could breathe properly.

Ryu briefly explained what he had done in the last hour and how he would now bring the others to the safest geyser to enter. The diea of having to enter these dangerous locations shook everyone present. They realized just how much they were putting their lives in Ryu's hands.

However, just when they had begun to access the geyser, the others appeared once again.

Empana's gaze flashed. He didn't know how, but he was almost certain that Ryu was doing all of this on purpose. But what he couldn't understand was how precise he was. Was it really possible for a person to do this? And what was his purpose?

Beaten and haggard, Norrian and Ralora appeared with their people around the clearing. Anyone with sharp eyes could tell that they had suffered greatly.

Empana's brows furrowed and he suddenly became even more confused. This sort of destruction couldn't just come from Little Silk's silk threads, so what had left them in such a state?

Ryu smiled and didn't say anything. He had uttered this rainforest was dangerous... when had he said that the geysers were the only danger?

Norrian and Ralora had lost so many people to Little Silk, and then they lost even more people entering this rainforest. Without a choice, they could only collaborate or else they felt they wouldn't stand a chance.

Who knew they would find Empana's group completely unscathed?

Their eyes spitting fire. landed on Ryu's body simultaneously. They were practically fire.

"Kill them all!" the two roared.

This time, there was simply no avoiding the battle.

Surrounding, Empana braced himself, his stare turning malevolent.
