Chapter 24 - CHAPTER 23: UNEXPECTED EVENT

While flying over the mountains of Khar, Abel was very aware of any reaction in the key, after all, that would indicate how close he was to the space node that would take him to the lower realm.

"Now that I think about it, this place is very similar to the Andes mountains of my previous world, but here they are only considered "mountains", it makes one think about what the mountain ranges are like here in Kunlun".

Through the cockpit window, Abel could glimpse the landscape in front of him, and from the height he was flying overhead, the majestic range of mountains that made up the Khar Mountains loomed. dragon about to take flight, for a moment he even seemed to see clearly the silhouette of a dragon.

"Although in my previous world I was only in one area of ​​the Andes mountain range and I only saw it from afar and from the ground, it still seemed wonderful to me, but from here it is a spectacular sight."

Spellbound by the sight in front of him, Abel couldn't help but imagine the incredible sights and adventures he would experience in the future, that was until the vibration of the key inside his mind pulled him out of his thoughts.

"Ha ha ha, it seems that I still lack some self-control, well, it seems that the key indicates a further west."

Realizing this, Abel quickly told Daniel to head west, at this, Daniel did not answer him, he only controlled the ship and started it west.

Fillia on the other hand was sitting in one of the chairs in the cabin, she had already been in this place, so she only gave him a quick look before sitting down and meditating, without speaking to the two of them.

As time passed, Abel grew more and more excited, the key inside his mind shaking more and more force, drawing him closer and closer to the node.

At this point, Daniel began to suspect that his cousin, rather than deciding on a good place to stay, seemed to be guiding him to a specific place, which left him quite perplexed, but remembering that he had told him that he decided on this place Thanks to a memory crystal, he decided not to ask questions and wait where it led him.

It was an hour later that the key in Abel's mind was shaking with great force and vibrating at a strange frequency, and that was not all, a faint blue light covered it, whose brightness began to increase more and more.

It was at this moment that Abel's head cooled and clarity returned to his mind, these signs that the key was showing did not seem to augur well.

"Don't tell me that the key is already activating the space node... damn it, we'd better move away, otherwise, if it is activated now, I can't imagine what consequences there may be later."

Abel's plan was to get as close to the space node, then regain his cultivation base back to that of a martial disciple and then see if his body and cultivation were strong enough to be able to pass through the space node smoothly, and although the librarian told him that the space node should be stable enough for him to cross a cultivation into martial disciple, Abel still wanted to make sure of it, after all, who knows how many years had passed since the librarian received that information, not to mention that there can always be accidents.

But apparently the librarian forgot to mention a very important detail, it was that the key would activate the node immediately if it was close enough, so it put Abel in a very precarious situation.

"While my body may be as tough as a late-stage martial disciple, that does not mean that I can pass through the node without problems, after all, it may have already become unstable after so many years and end up killing me. both Daniel and Fillia must be familiar with these nodes by now, so they will immediately notice what happens, not to mention that they may prevent me from leaving, if this news reaches the ancients, I am a dead man."

Although Abel's thinking was extreme, since his previous life he had lived with the phrase "prepare for the worst", so unconsciously his brain assumed this situation as the most probable possible scenario, but what he was right about was that both Daniel and Fillia had traveled to lower realms before, so they were familiar with a spatial node.

As his brain processed everything that was happening at full speed, he decided first, before things got even more complicated, to go back and walk away from the node.

"Daniel, I liked the place we passed before a little more, could you please come back?"

Abel, who despite having a cold sweat from the worst that could happen, still said this with a smile and without his voice trembling.

Daniel turned to look at Abel, and although he tried to appear calm, before Daniel's discerning gaze, he still noticed that his cousin was somewhat pale and was trying to smile, which caused his curiosity to float.

"I wonder what is wrong with him, just a moment ago he looked very excited and full of anticipation, but now he is just pale with fear and wants to go back, ummmmm, well let's wait and see what happens."

With this in mind, Daniel turned the ark, to go back the way they had come, only to find that at some point they had fallen into a formation.

It was at this moment that Fillia opened her eyes, and with a serious look on her face, she looked towards the great formation that became visible the moment they wanted to leave, rather than with a pale face and while swallowing hard, she turned to Daniel with an angry and worried look.

"Damn, it's the fivefold elemental formation, whose function is to prevent anyone who enters from leaving, Daniel, where the hell did you bring us!"

Coming to the same conclusion, Daniel had an unprecedented serious look, but he still remained calm, before saying:

"We must have entered a forbidden or guarded area, before you said that you did not know the reason why the spirit beasts stayed here, right? Well, it seems that this is the reason, someone placed a large formation in this place, even to it would take some work for our family to establish a formation of such magnitude."

Hearing this, Fillia calmed down, before saying:

"You are right, I did not get to visit this area of ​​the Khar mountains before, but I am surprised that they have not detected us yet, we practically sneaked into their treasure vault without being noticed, do not you think that is strange?"

Daniel nodded as well, this was also his doubt, if the spirit beasts guarded the entire area of ​​the Khar mountains, it was impossible for them not to notice this place, although escaping from this formation was complicated, it was not impossible, so not having any guards was strange.

Hearing the conversation of these 2 Abel became even paler, while a crazy assumption began to form in his mind.

"If there is no guard, it means that this place was not important or they did not find anything relevant in the place, but it is also quite rare that neither Fillia nor Daniel realized that they had entered a formation, meanwhile, the key emits a glow Intense bluish, and it just so happens that the brightness of the formation is the same... they were looking for finally appeared right? "

Immediately after Abel came to that conclusion, a group of 10 people crossed the formation, and from the brightness and emotion on their faces, Abel's heart sank to the core.

"It seems that the bad luck of my previous life accompanied me to this world, for every good thing that happens to me, ten worse will happen, damn it!"

And although Abel only assumed that these people were spiritual beasts that had already gone through their tribulation to gain human body, both Fillia and Daniel if they realized it, indeed, they could hear what they were talking about between them.

"Hahahaha, first brother, the formation that the patriarch told us finally appeared, so that senior's inheritance must be about to appear."

At the words of this "person", the first brother replied:

"Yes, it seems to be the third brother's case, but don't be too hasty, to our bad luck, he decided to appear just when the elders of the clan are out, so only our group can examine the area first, so we must… wait, Isn't that an ark over there? "

At these words, everyone immediately turned in the direction of the first brother's gaze, where the sight that awaited them stunned them before becoming enraged.

"Damn! They must have gotten ahead of us, first brother, let's attack and then ask what they are doing here"

"Yes, most likely they are here also because of the inheritance, let's go"

"Let's kill those intruders!"

At the sudden change in atmosphere, the first brother frowned before shouting:

"Group of abnormals! If they arrived before us, that only means that the inheritance key must be with them, if you kill them and destroy the key, the inheritance will never recognize us"

Those words reassured the group that was about to storm toward the ark, restoring their calm.

"But first big brother, what do we do then?"

In response to the third brother's question, the first brother replied:

"First let's go over and ask them about the key, if they don't want to give it to us, then it's not too late to attack them, after all, with our cultivation and numbers, it shouldn't be a big problem to handle them."

Thus, after saying this, the first brother approached the ark, where Fillia and Daniel were seeing Abel with a suspicious look, of course they had heard all the exchange of words from outside, so Fillia quickly approached and asked:

"Do you have an inheritance key?"
