A Sorcerer’s Journey

Chapter 740: Chapter 740: Exiles (Part 1)

Male Poison Body Refinement never ceases, and the body refining effect of Magnetic Field Circulation continues. Green’s basic physique is enhancing day by day, but it is still far from his personal limitation.

Different creatures have varying degrees of physical limitations before becoming the World Master.

Green naturally wouldn’t search for the exiles on the edge of the Tristar Abyssal Rift, as these places are often visited by Abyssal Physical Cultivators. Exiles, who reject the Abyssal Holy Tower Rules, are generally found in the desolate lands far from the major abyss rifts.

The scorching heat of the day almost bakes the earth, while the cold silence of the night is incredible. Apart from certain unique abyssal plants, the further you get from the abyssal rift areas, the more barren the Abyss Continent becomes, seldom visited by life.

Woo...

The fierce wind is almost tearing the skin, mixed with cone-shaped ice shards, hitting Green’s defense layer with a clanging noise. Even the Thousand-Eyed Giant Crab under Green’s feet has to shield its head with its massive pincers, advancing against the wind.

Xiao Ba simply hides within the Dimensional Gap and refuses to come out.

In such harsh weather, Green sighs and signals the Thousand-Eyed Giant Crab to descend and cease advancing, waiting until the Ice Wind passes. In such an environment, it’s no wonder they say that traversing the surface of the Abyss Continent requires a creature with at least one hundred fifty physique points.

After a full three Hourglasses of time.

The body of the Thousand-Eyed Giant Crab is almost frozen into a massive chunk of ice, only for the raging Ice Wind to gradually come to a stop.

With a ”click,” the Thousand-Eyed Giant Crab breaks free from the ice blocks.

”This...”

Just as he was about to command the Thousand-Eyed Giant Crab to move forward, Green suddenly stared dumbfounded into the distance. Moments ago, the weather was raging with Ice Wind, but now, in the distance, it was clouded with rolling fiery clouds, streaks of fiery meteors with long flame tails cutting through the sky, crashing towards the ground!

Simultaneously, the ground began to shake with ”rumble,” ”rumble,” ”rumble,” a major earthquake ensued. Even with Green’s nature, he couldn’t help but curse silently and again took to the sky with the Thousand-Eyed Giant Crab...

After three months of traversing the harsh environment, Green arrived at a small abyssal rift marked on his private collection map, the Panguela Abyss.

This abyssal rift is extremely small, only a few hundred kilometers, without a Beastfighting Arena, and the Holy Tower rules hardly bind this place. Apart from the occasional appearance of a World Guardian, there are no Sorcerer’s Rules to restrict this ”land of freedom.”

A place where fish and dragons mix, all who come here are strong, not limited to humans.

The World Guardians do not restrain exiles; they only intervene in matters threatening world safety, concerning both the natural reproduction of ordinary humans and the stability of world rules.

Of course, truly powerful exiles generally do not appear in any abyssal rifts because these places are also frequently visited by Body Refining Sorcerer Bounty Hunters; many of the former Abyssal Kings were once bounty hunters themselves.

Disguising himself as an exile, this was the best method Green could think of to contact those exiles who might know about the remnants of the Nameless Ancient Demon, even if it meant spending decades or centuries.

Should he be able to acquire more information about the Nameless Ancient Demon for research, completing the sorcery regarding controlling genetic information and Life Code Fractures would dramatically transform Green’s body refining strength!

The research history of this witchcraft dates back to Green’s apprentice days, even older than the study of Annihilation Force, and in recent years, with the accidental acquisition of the Carvim Potion from an academy war through a wizard apprentice, the research on Life Code Fractures and hereditary information started to have breakthroughs.

Removing the Face of Truth, divesting himself of the Robe of Appearances, and everything else Magic Conduction-related, Xiao Ba uses the Space Magic Guiding Witch Device ring to store away the Thousand-Eyed Giant Crab and the Enigmatic Thousand-Headed Bird, while Green descends into this Panguela Valley, assuming the identity of an Abyss Refining Body Sorcerer, a fugitive from Abyssal Holy Tower Rules.

Exiles escaping the Abyssal Holy Tower rules naturally cannot sense the Wizard World’s will, so Green doesn’t have to worry about issues of exposure due to the First-Level Honor Medal.

Seven days later.

Drip, drip, drip, drip...

In an extremely concealed cave, water drops continuously dripped from stalactites above, accumulating in large amounts of clear water in a stone slab recess below, where a black lotus gently blossomed.

All of a sudden, a Colorful Rooster sitting cross-legged in front of the lotus opened its eyes, staring at the golden-haired wizard slowly walking in from the cave entrance, with a parrot, its feathers a dazzling mix of red and green, perched on the wizard’s shoulder, smirking.

”Quack, quack, quack, Master, we found a fugitive slave. So fierce, so terrifying, I wonder how much its corpse could fetch in bounty.”

Similar to the captive slave monsters caught by elemental wizards destined to die in one Demon Hunting Expedition after another, the slave monsters of the Abyssal Underworld are also doomed to perish in one battle after another in the Beastfighting Arena, for they are merely resources for forging ahead used by Abyss Refining Body Sorcerers within the Abyss Rules.

Unlike the Elemental Stigmata Sorcerers controlling their slave armies via soul means, within Abyss Refining Sorcerers, whether at the Knight’s Persistence Academy or Tristar, Four-Star, and Five-Star Holy Towers, the Wild Physique Refinement Sorcerers all adopt brute force suppression methods to keep these exotic creatures as beast slaves.

Only the One-Star and Two-Star Holy Tower Elemental Surge Body-Training Sorcerers employ soul control means of enslavement.

It is precisely for this reason that occasionally some strong exotic slaves escape from various Beastfighting Arenas during opportune moments and, fearing the pursuit by Holy Tower Rules, stay hidden on the surface of the Abyss Continent amidst harsh environments, sometimes venturing into smaller abysses where Abyssal Holy Tower Rules do not extend for sustenance during times of scarce survival resources.

The Colorful Rooster slowly stood up from the stone slab, gazing at Green and Xiao Ba with eyes filled with hatred and coldness.

”Bounty Hunter, ultimately I have been found after all? Evil wizards, if you want to claim my bounty, let’s see if you possess the power to end my record of a hundred twenty-seven consecutive wins!”

As it spoke, this one-meter-long Colorful Rooster ignited a crimson flame atop its crested head, the aura it had been trying so hard to conceal suddenly released.

Cluck, cluck, cluck!

Subsequently, the Colorful Rooster spread its wings, standing with its head held high, a sonorous crow echoed coupled with soul shockwaves blasting forth!

Boom!

”Ga!? Damn, Master, are you alright?”

Xiao Ba, within the cave, was immune to soul attacks, only feeling a gentle breeze, but Green was blasted ”woo” out of the cave. Xiao Ba, now bewildered, turned to look at Green outside the cave with a face full of astonishment.

Originally, the Sorcerer’s Cloak, an invaluable tool against such exotic creatures in the Wizard World, could not be released due to Green’s disguise. Receiving such a soul attack unexpectedly resulted in some damage indeed.

”The creatures capable of surviving here are indeed not to be trifled with; they nearly hold the power of a Third-Level Medal of Honor Witcher!”

After stabilizing the Soul Fire, Green’s body elongated abruptly, dense, black scales spread over it, and a vigor of Wild Instinct emanated from within.

With a ”shoo,” a black shadow charged back into the cave.

The sounds of ”boom,” ”boom,” ”boom,” ”boom” from the ongoing battle were ceaseless. Green, like the Abyssal King Agrimond, continuously immersed himself in experiencing the struggle of life and death using his Wild Instinct as close to the enemy’s strength as possible.

After almost half an hourglass of time.

The sounds of battle within the cave gradually subsided, Green slightly panting, released the Wild Instinct Transformation, the various claw wounds on his skin healing quickly under the Metamorphosis Technique, with strips of flesh tendrils intertwined at the injury sites, his body rapidly recovering.

On the other side, the Colorful Rooster was lying on the blood-soaked ground, barely breathing, having completely lost consciousness.

”Quack, quack, quack, quack, look, Master, it seems to be guarding this black lotus, not knowing what effects this Abyssal plant possesses.” (To be continued.
