Chapter 496: 463, Georgiadi Hadrian received a giant beast’s tooth Chapter 496: 463, Georgiadi Hadrian received a giant beast’s tooth Charles and his group quickly lost their target.
The battle between Drusinia and Gareth had largely destroyed the underground cave passages, and even though Charles and his companions were powerful enough to blast open a large hole and re-enter from the surface, after several attempts, it beca impossible to discern where the fresh traces were.
Charles grew more and more worried about the changes in Gareth.
To be honest, even legitimate vampires usually wouldn’t allow a Blood Servant to beco stronger than themselves, intentionally limiting the servant’s strength, but Gareth’s power was clearly growing rapidly.
The Ling demons left behind by the Gomodoro Tree were nurous, and their life force was extrely vigorous; the life force of a single demon could be equivalent to that of over a dozen ordinary people.
With Gareth’s unrestrained slaughter and being a twenty-second level Sacred level himself, Solomon Island was nothing short of a natural hunting ground for him.
Charles had always been cautious and had not condensed a Blood Core, so his level of control over a Blood Servant was inherently weak.
...
When Gareth’s strength far surpassed his own, he could barely sense “big boy” anymore.
Charles also failed to find any trace of the Great Sea Serpent Witch, Posuji’s Tooth.
When the passage ahead collapsed once more, and the group erged from the ground, Charles said, “I’m afraid we only have the option to wait for Gareth’s return.”
Andreas and Agon nodded in agreent.
As the sky grew extrely dark, Charles decided to return to the ship and rest for the night before returning to explore.
The three of them determined their direction and began the journey back.
They hadn’t gone far when the sky darkened completely.
Charles still released the Fla Hand, illuminating the path before them, with Agon and Andreas following closely behind, protecting him with utmost caution.
Suddenly, Charles sensed sothing gliding in the darkness.
He drew the Withing Rose and fired a shot.
The gunshot traveled far in the dark, but Charles sensed soone deflecting his bullet.
His brows lifted slightly, and he called out in a low voice, “Co out.”
Four Black Phoenix People, three n and a woman, erged from the darkness, their faces full of wariness.
Andreas spoke softly, “In light of my presence, could we avoid a fight?”
Charles nodded and said, “As long as they’re not prepared to fight, I have no issue.”
It was then that Andreas spoke up, “Flundy, can we avoid fighting?
I don’t want to co to blows with you.”
A middle-aged man, who seed to have breathed a sigh of relief, said, “If it’s not a necessity, I also don’t wish to fight you.
We are searching for supplies on the island.
Although we brought so provisions with us when we set off, food and water were not very plentiful.”
Charles was here for adventure, hence he brought abundant food and water, but the nobles of the Black Phoenix Dynasty were “moving house,” and most of the space on their ships was filled with “wealth,” leaving only a tiny portion for food and water.
Therefore, Charles and his companions hadn’t yet faced a shortage of supplies, but this last fleet of the Black Phoenix had.
Charles did not allow anyone to land on the island, but Georgeadi Hadrian had not issued any such order.
He just instructed his subordinates not to be discovered by those with Charles and not to spy on Charles’s fleet.
These Black Phoenix People did not expect to encounter Andreas and his group so coincidentally on their way.
Only one of the four Black Phoenix People was of Sacred level, the person Andreas called Flundy.
The remaining three young people were his two sons and a daughter.
Although they were Transcendents, if conflict broke out, Andreas alone could slaughter them all.
Andreas chatted with them for a few sentences and even told them about a water source they had found on the way.
As for food…
Well, on this island, for vampires, food might be found everywhere.
But for ordinary people, these might be hard to swallow.
Charles couldn’t help asking in Black Phoenix language, “Have you discovered anything like buildings?”
Although Charles’s na was well-known, in this world, spreading soone’s image could only rely on painted portraits or unreliable word of mouth.
He hadn’t seen these Black Phoenix nobles before, so naturally, they couldn’t recognize him either.
Ferlandi was quite friendly and said, “We did see so building where we landed, a Sherlock-style ancient castle!”
“Georgiadi Hadrian led people to search it and found a batch of treasure, but it wasn’t worth much.”
Relieved by the ntion of Georgiadi Hadrian, as he had not yet searched in the direction of the Black Phoenix fleet, Charles’s eyes narrowed slightly, feigning curiosity, “What did you all find?”
Ferland said, “So Sherlock era ornants, so weapons, and a few hundred coins from the ancient Giesel!”
“That’s about it.”
No sooner had Charles felt slightly relieved, thinking they might not have found his target, than he heard Ferlandi say, “The only special thing was a strange giant beast tooth.
It was as long as two or three people and thicker than two people hugging together, and no one recognized its origin.”
Charles’s eyes tensed slightly; he was sixty to seventy percent sure that it was the Great Sea Serpent Witch Posuji’s tooth, his ultimate target for this trip.
With the item in Georgiadi Hadrian’s possession, it would be too difficult to retrieve.
Although Charles did not fear Georgiadi Hadrian, after all, he had Juno Arthur accompanying him on his fleet, the value of starting a major naval battle for the Great Sea Serpent Witch Posuji’s tooth was debatable.
The last ti, in the battle at the Black Phoenix City, they lost seven of their Sacred-level fighters.
Charles still pained at the mory every ti he thought about it.
He certainly did not want another Sacred-level battle and the loss of several more Sacred fighters, as they were his future core mbers.
Even without the Great Sea Serpent Witch Posuji’s tooth, the Holy Light Divine State Title would be missing this extraordinary object, rendering it irreparable, which was not an unacceptable situation.
At this mont, Charles suddenly thought of the old Leopard People, Tumishen, musing to himself, “If he were here, with his exquisite Beast God Transformation Technique, he could disguise himself as anyone, or perhaps steal the Great Sea Serpent Witch Posuji’s tooth.”
Of course, that was just a thought.
Tumishen was still in the Old Continent, following nilman, and couldn’t possibly appear before him all of a sudden.
After a friendly exchange for a while, they separated, and the young girl took a long breath, then spoke with so worry, “Thank goodness Andreas didn’t think about killing us.”
Her two brothers spoke sowhat dissatisfied, “Father might not necessarily be afraid of Andreas, and the three of us needn’t fear those two.”
Flundy stopped his children’s argunt, saying, “Let’s go!
We should return to the ship too.”
He had no desire to encounter another Sacred-level from Fars.
The island was becoming more and more peculiar.
After nightfall, the danger increased exponentially.
While he was not afraid, he was worried for his children and decided to keep this encounter a secret, considering the highly sensitive nature of their identities at the mont.
