Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 544 Are you certain this land is dangerous?

Wesley left the duo alone after he finished. He had a massive headache and just wanted to rest for the day, so he did. That's why the next morning, he was a bit late to arrive outside the building. The twenty-six elves under him had already gathered, including the silver-haired human.

The old man cleared his throat, a bit embarrassed that he was late instead of the young people. Without wasting any more time, he informed them that they would explore any tomb he sensed nearby. He would follow them while they trained and wouldn't interfere unless they were in an extremely dangerous situation.

The elves nodded enthusiastically and began preparing their weapons while Wesley stepped back and retrieved a small square-shaped artifact used to instantly send emergency signals to their allies if they were in danger. He tucked the artifact into his sleeve so he could quickly reach out to Ronan and the other supreme rank elves if the elves under him encountered any peril he couldn't manage.

Kyle rolled up the sleeves of his blue shirt. He hadn't changed because after getting a good sleep, Yue wasn't able to rest.

So, she dragged him around to explore the area around the building. He simply went along and walked beside her as she spent the whole night looking around the small shops and stalls selling strange things while buying a few she liked.

He hummed and glanced around at the elves surrounding him. He could see everyone, including Yue, was tense but excited at the same time.

Nox was sitting on his shoulder. After he had shown some kindness to the lynx, the latter warmed up to him quite easily.

'He has a brain, but he is too naive and trusting. I need to train him properly so he can support Yue and assist her in danger instead of being a burden.'

The lynx's scales bristled when a strange sense of dread crossed his heart, making him alert with narrowed eyes.

Yue looked at Kyle, and upon seeing the serious expression on his face, she touched his arm with concern.

"What happened?"

Kyle's expression softened.

"Nothing."

Yue nodded and glanced at Wesley, who clapped his hands to grab everyone's attention. The old man then gestured in a random direction and started walking.

"Stick close to me because, apart from this area where many powerful individuals are gathered, every other place in the sacred divine land is extremely dangerous at the moment."

The elves nodded solemnly and trailed closely behind him. But strangely, even after they left the bustling area and ventured into a barren land filled with boulders and rocky formations, they barely encountered any powerful monsters.

The group didn't even stumble upon individuals from the demon, dark, or nightkin races! They did spot some small groups exploring the surrounding land, but all of them were preoccupied with their own affairs and simply ignored them.

Sebastian squinted and surveyed his surroundings with furrowed brows before muttering under his breath with a touch of suspicion.

"Old man... are you certain this land is dangerous? Because from what I can see at the moment, it doesn't appear dangerous in the slightest."

Wesley's eyebrow twitched as he raised his hand and smacked the man's head, causing the latter to grumble in response. The old man pinched the space between his brows and glanced at the people following him.

"Don't let the peace and silence deceive you. Stay vigilant at all times because we could be ambushed at any moment!"

Instantly, the elves loudly agreed with him that they were and they would stay vigilant at all costs. After getting the response he wanted, Wesley closed his eyes to sense any tomb nearby. Being a supreme rank, his senses were strong enough to detect them unless they were very powerful and had a concealing effect around them.

Kyle observed everything from beside Yue and let out a bored yawn. At this rate, they were going to spend the whole day here without any progress. But then he glanced at Nox and reached out his hand to rub the lynx's head. Nox leaned into the cold touch but blinked when the human's voice sounded in his head.

'Go and lead everyone to the right side. I believe you can spot an enigmatic arrangement of boulders there, right? I have a feeling something lies beneath... perhaps a tomb. So help Wesley in reaching it.'

Nox gazed at Kyle with a dumbfounded expression before shifting on his shoulder and tentatively asking with narrowed eyes.

'You can sense the tombs' location? But why are you asking me to guide the elves when you can do it yourself?'

He fell silent and grumbled inwardly upon hearing Kyle's response.

'Do you want to be useless? Just follow my instructions. If they ask how you knew about the tomb, say you sensed it. Take all the credit because I don't want to reveal my skill to them.'

Nox jumped down from his shoulder, a quick thought crossed his mind that he was agreeing to the human's instructions quite easily, even though they didn't sound like a request. But he brushed the thought aside because within just a day, he had noticed the human wasn't mean, just not great at showing emotions.

He approached Wesley, who was gazing into the distance. Nox leaped onto the old man's shoulder and communicated directly in his mind, informing him that he could sense something strange in the right direction.

Wesley's eyes widened slightly as he glanced towards the area Nox was pointing to because he had also felt the presence of an underground tomb there. He turned his gaze to the lynx, and his eyes sparkled with a touch of joy.

'You can sense the tombs' location!? It's a powerful but risky ability. If a greedy person finds out, they might try to capture you. So, don't tell anyone else about it. Got it?'

Nox nodded before giving Kyle a stern look, who had put his life at risk.

Now, he just hoped Wesley would keep this information to himself and not share it with anyone, or else the lynx was unsure what would happen to him.
