Chapter 24: Ch 24: Riley's Warning

The danger in the forest had exceeded Emrys's imagination. He understood very well that the deeper they went into the forest, the more dangerous it would become.

After a tiresome day, they decided to rest as night began to fall. While searching for a safe place to spend the night, they found a small space under the roots of a huge tree.

Not long after they carefully moved inside this small space, they heard some commotion outside. All of them were alerted immediately. Very soon, they found out the reason behind the commotion.

From the conversation between the people named Malachi and Riley, they got the gist of things happening inside this forest. They also understood that their appearance inside this forest right after crossing the entrance of the abandoned mansion was not a coincidence, it was a well-planned idea executed by Malachi. There is also a possibility of several other Soul Masters working with Malachi.

At that moment, Emrys decided to save Riley. Coincidently, the distance between the cave and Riley was within a hundred meters.

During the battle in the morning, Emrys had already used Node Shift one time, so when Emrys saved Riley by utilizing the Node Shift ability again, Rohan and Cairo were not that surprised.

"Who are you people?"

Riley asked Emrys and others curiously. He has no idea how he ended up in this small space, but he knew he was safe for the time being. It was enough for him to breathe silently and calm his turmoil heart.

"We are your savior!"

Rohan replied with a smile. At the same time, he asked, "Who was that person? It seems you know what happened to the mansion. Can you tell us?"

Riley heaved a sigh of relief. Since he was in this strange space and Rohan said they were his savior, it is most likely to be the truth. However, he did not let go of his guard just because of Rohan's words.

What if Rohan and the other two are pretending?

When the morning brought rays of sunlight to the world, everyone opened their eyes. Riley stopped cultivating, most of his injuries had recovered already.

Rays of sunlight passing through tiny holes under the roots told them that it was already morning.

By now, Riley had started believing that Emrys, Rohan, and Cairo had nothing to do with Malachi. Their act was a life-saving grace. They have done a huge favor.

In order to repay them, Riley hesitated a little but decided to warn them about something.

"I don't know the way outside, otherwise I would have definitely brought you all with me. But at least, I'll warn you guys before I leave this place. Don't venture deeper into the forest. Even if you do go deeper, never go near that mountain range."

Everyone had already climbed to the surface and was ready to move forward. At this time, Riley stopped in front of Emrys, pointed at the mountain range, and said. He did not stop there, he continued: "At a certain place inside that mountain range, there is a group of Silver Soul Masters who are planning to do something extreme. As long as you guys don't go near the mountain range, you'll be safe and sound. Of course, you need to pay attention to the surrounding dangers as well. Other than those Silver Soul Masters, there are also several Silver Soul Beasts inside this forest. Stay cautious, stay safe!"

Riley left in a hurry after warning Emrys and others.

Emrys, Rohan, and Cairo showed a confused expression on their faces. Then they looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Emrys thought of something and said, "Staying here is not an option. We entered the abandoned mansion to investigate and know what happened to the Gracia Family members and whether Serefina had something to do with them or not. No matter the risk, we have to investigate everything that is under our strength."

"However, I want to break through before that. It'll not take long. Wait for me!"

Emrys did not wait for their reply. He once again went to the small space under the roots of the huge tree and took out a seed.

On the other hand, Rohan and Cairo smiled bitterly. Then they immediately become alert and start paying attention to their surroundings. Their goal was simple, they had to watch over this place until Emrys came out.
