Chapter 1103 RUN!

After the Mircona rocks, it was a cluster of Blood Sun gemstones, followed by non-descript herbs.

Liam assumed that the elf did not really care much about the herbs perhaps because he did not practice alchemy so he did not announce it like the other items. The elf was far more excited for minerals and gemstones.

Not just this but the two of them also came across a few essences.

While the elf didn't seem to particularly care about any sort of blood essence, he lapped up all of the elemental essences that he could get, once again absorbing these in a different crystal.

Lastly, there was also another type of essence that they came into contact with in a couple of places but this information was only privy to Liam as it was the black dragon sword that had swallowed up this essence and not the elf.

Including the first time, this had happened a total of three times, making Liam anxious if he would get discovered. Thankfully, the elf was more interested in collecting elemental essences and seemed oblivious to the black dragon sword's activities.

Liam had no idea how the sword was able to absorb this essence. Was it because the sword was a soul weapon or was it because of the black dragon souls imprisoned within it?

Regardless, it was a fortunate occurrence, as the sword seemed to be growing stronger with each absorption. Despite his anxiety, Liam had no intention of stopping the sword. He needed every advantage he could get right now.

The two of them continued heading further and further inside the ancient ruins and the elf's mood seemed to be getting a lot better. Their haul was getting bigger.

Each time, the elf shamelessly praised Liam all the while shoving down the items into his spatial ring. Liam's face twitched watching the chubby guy scurry around searching everywhere for more loot.

From Eldrin's words, it seemed like the elf had been inside the ancient ruins many times but from the way he acted, Liam doubted this was true.

Things continued in this manner and soon, the chance Liam was waiting for arrived!

In one of the mountains ahead of them, Liam sensed a huge hoard of soul blood beasts. More importantly, the beasts were currently in combat which meant that there were other beings right now inside the mountain.

'Let's see what you are made of.' Without any hesitation, Liam pointed to the mountain and the chubby elf grinned in delight. Just like Liam had expected, the elf was not able to sense the presence of others as the two of them once again raced toward the mountain.

Perhaps outside this place it might have been difficult to shake off the elf but Liam had a feeling that it was not impossible to do so here.

The two of them rushed into the mountain at full speed when the elf suddenly halted, panic appearing on his face. "RUN!" The elf shouted and Liam smirked. He did not have to be told twice. n0veLuSb.c0m

"Go to the mountain where we first met. Don't stop until you get there! Hide well!" The elf's warning came too late as Liam was already dashing away from the mountain, but not in the direction that Eldrin suggested.

However, the elf was too busy to notice that. With a shout he bolted downward to join the group of elves fighting the soul blood beasts. "Your highness, please allow me to protect you!"

Liam did not stop running. He rushed to the east where the soul energy density seemed to be the lowest, indicating that nothing much was present in this part of the ruins. This should also be the place where the chances of encountering others were the least.

His plan was to lay low until his strength was somewhat recovered. He was not sure if this was feasible but he had to try.

This place was teeming with treasures and for the first time there was no evil witch planning to take him down from the shadows. He only had to look out for the elves.

In reality, this was easier said than done because every single one of the bastards seemed to be high-leveled which Liam gathered had to be because of the grade of their world.

Liam heard Eldrin mention that the elven world was a B-grade world. This was also why Liam did not want to openly antagonize the elf. If he could somehow enter the world, perhaps in disguise or stealth, then he would be able to gather far more information and resources.

Currently he was not aware if the others knew where he was. Even if it was the high-priestess, it was not possible that her strength and power allowed her to scan the myriad realms for his presence.

He had to use this chance to grow. This was the first break he received and he needed to use it properly. Liam had a plan. The only question now was whether he was up for it or not.

Everything would depend on the next couple of hours!

Liam continued running and once he was at a safe distance away from the clamor, he entered one of the buildings scattered on the mountain. He first looked around to see if anyone was present around him and then took out the stone tablet hurriedly.

Once he entered the stone tablet world, others would not be able to sense him. Or at least that was his theory and he had confirmed it long back using Shen Yue and Alex.

However, these elves couldn't be compared to those two. Maybe the elves had a way of sensing something was amiss and there was a pocket world in front of them.

Liam sighed. He could not afford to be worried about these things at the moment. He had to recover. That was his first and only priority. Otherwise, he would simply perish, his treasures lying around him for just anyone to claim.
