BXBX NOVEL Chapter 460 Shocking Discovery
The three looked at each other and decided. They followed the earth fairies and Baobao to see where the tunnel was supposed to lead.
In the end, they were led to the raging riverside of the forest a good few kilometers away from the graveyard.
"This is?" Kayden saw the traces of digging that were no longer hidden on the riverside.
It seems that the perpetrators were confident that no one would ever discover what they did and so they just clumsily left the end of the tunnel they dug out with some layer of soil and went off with the asani corpses.
"Where does this river lead to?" Eli asked the knights who were familiar with the geographical location of the land.
The knight had an answer however, he still had to check by looking at his compass and map before he replied with a dark expression,
"This is Hizalle River which springs forth from the deepest part of the blood valley mountain ranges and the Ocean of the Great Three."
As soon as Eli and Kayden heard it their expressions also changed. Not only because this river was surely the only way for the corpse to be smuggled but the fact because the river leads to the great ocean outside the country.
This also means that the corpses were either transported to the Green Wave Continent, the Holy Island, or the Vanderford!
"We need to immediately report it to the Governor and the Emperor!" The three of them decided to stop their excursion for today and return to the camp.
Consequently, night was already approaching as they had traveled quite far from tracing the tunnel.
As soon as they went back to the camp, Kayden and the knight went together to find a way to communicate the findings on the Emperor\'s side.
Meanwhile, Eli was forced by the two men to take a rest since they took a long time during the trip.
With everyone busy to cap off the night, Eli sighed and could only sit on a stone bench to watch the skies.
She wondered how Little Han and Leon were doing.
Though it was not the first time being away from the two, Eli still found it unbearable to yearn for the two people who warmed her heart.
She took a deep breath and closed her eyes, remembering every detail of the cottage. Its warmth, its peace, the giggles, and voices that she would never get tired of hearing.
She looked at the clear sky, with the full moon shining gently around her. Remembering everything she, Leon, and her friends have gone through and will go through… she felt really tired and scared.
Will this fighting ever end?
Seeing the skies above, she remembered the words of the Great One. That although she did not hear his voice, he is always with her.
And so every time the day ended, she would always find in her heart to pray and talk to him. Tell him all her cares and worries, even more, vulnerable as she was with Leon.
She wondered.
"Oh Great One, I know your eyes are looking upon me. If the life I have lived pleases you, do let these problems be solved according to your will, and let me and my family finally live under the peace you have granted in our lives."
As if the heavens were comforting her, a soft gentle wind surrounded her, whispering like a parent comforting an anxious child.
She closed her eyes and continued to linger on the rare peace she was enjoying. At that moment, she felt secure and her courage was renewed.
When she opened her eyes, the moonlight was no longer shining directly in the spot where she was sitting.
Instead, it shone on a part of the forest a few meters away. Eli\'s obsidian eyes flashed with interest as she caught sight of something glimmering as the moonlight struck it.
She stood up and quickly went in the direction of that mysterious material. Since she was sure that it might only shine when the moonlight hits it directly, she must not delay any further.
"Baobao, send for Kayden right away, tell him that I found something unusual, and come quickly." Eli knew that the place she was in was quite near the camp, but since she did not want to miss the opportunity, she had Baobao call Kayden instead.
"Very well, Master…" Baobao understood Eli\'s concerns and so after replying to her, he immediately dashed and looked for Kayden.
She, on the other hand, immediately walked towards the area and carefully scouted the mysterious object.
When she was near enough to figure out the thing, she found out that it was actually a piece of crystal gem that could only appear upon being reflected by the moonlight.
But since she was unsure of what it really was, she waited for Kayden to come with Baobao before touching it. Baobao can easily catch her scent and so she was not afraid of Baobao not finding her in this place.
"What\'s the matter, Eli?" In just a few moments Kayden had arrived at the spot where Eli was. He definitely rushed to get to Eli immediately as he was still panting from running towards her.
"Look at this gem, it is quite mysterious. At first, I was not able to see it from the side where I was sitting. However, when the moonlight hit its place, it suddenly appeared." Eli pointed towards the rock where the gem was glowing faintly as she explained to Kayden.
"Gem? What gem?" Kayden blinked and looked at Eli, he looked confused as if asking Eli where was the gem she was talking about. "All I could see was a random stone…"
"Can\'t you see the way it glows on top of the stone?" Eli frowned, if Kayden could not see it, then she might be hallucinating.
Then she looked at Baobao and asked the same thing, to which the innocent panda replied the same way Kayden did.
Eli frowned, could it be that she could only see it?
She tried once more and called the earth fairies, though they also confirmed that they could not see it, they could feel something unusual in the place she was pointing at.
Only then did Eli\'s eyes flicker in realization, then she explained it to Kayden. The gem was exactly as the Elder Leprechaun recounted in his book, his earth fairy friends could feel that there was something inside the village but they could not figure it out nor could they break through.
"What shall we do then? What if only those with Asani blood could really see the gem you are talking about." Kayden looked at Eli and listened to what she wanted to do.
"We came to find this very thing. Although there would be the possibility of me being the only one who could enter, let us still try." Eli looked at the gem carefully and the full moon which was about to be covered by a large cloud.
"We are running out of time." She furrowed her brows and took Kayden\'s hand, then she reversed and summoned Baobao just in case. "Let\'s be straightforward and touch it…"
"Eli wai-" Kayden was deeply shocked at Eli\'s actions, she was extremely reckless!
What if there\'s a trap installed for those who wanted to take the gem? Besides they were not even sure that the gem is the key to entering that mysterious space left by the deceased Asani.
However, it was already too late for him to stop his little sister. She had already grabbed his hand and touched the gem.
As soon as Eli\'s finger touched the mysterious object, her skin was cut and a drop of blood fell into the clear gem. "Oh…" Eli was startled by the sharpness of the gem.
Ring! The next moment, they heard a mysterious sound and saw with their naked eyes, the crystal clear gem shone in a faint light of red as if responding to Eli\'s blood.
When their minds were yet to process what had actually happened a mysterious light surrounded the area they were in and suddenly they felt a strong suction force attacking their bodies.
"Ugh… they gritted their teeth. This was not like when they travel on any teleportation arrays. This one is quite violent as the arrays they were in."
The moment they felt the force disappear, they immediately opened their eyes and realized that they were already in a mysterious place.
It was not only a mysterious room but a large laboratory filled with equipment, books, and materials.
"This… this…" Eli\'s entire body trembled, her eyes were mixed with disbelief and amazement.
She recognized this equipment and she could not help but question what was happening in this world Prasinos.
"These equipment were from my world, Big Brother! This is impossible. How could someone bring these technologies here?"
Could there be someone who could time travel and bring over their equipment to this fantasy world?
