Chapter 545 So they aren't bugs?
It didn't take long for the group of elves, one human, and one beast to reach the massive formation of rocks. Nox leaped down from Wesley's shoulder and headed towards Yue, while the old man soared above the array of rocks before landing in the midst of the formation.
The others quickly followed behind, with Kyle being the only one to climb one of the rocks instead of flying over like all of them. He extended his hand towards Yue, who chuckled and grabbed his hand before the duo jumped into the formation together.
Many eyes twitched at the scene, but they chose to ignore it except Sebastian, who gritted his teeth and swore in his mind that he would break the human's hands that touched Yue. He secretly decided to keep an eye on Kyle to learn his combat style, which would help him in the future.
After everyone entered the space, it appeared empty at first glance. The rocks stood tall and silent around them, casting shadows on their figures. Wesley closed his eyes and felt a wave of highly concentrated divine energy coming from behind one of the small rocks nearby. He walked towards the energy source and, after pushing the rock aside, uncovered a hidden entrance leading into the depths of the rock formation.
"Found it!"
The old man chuckled and stroked his white beard as he glanced back at the group. He quickly gestured for them to gather because they would enter this very underground entrance leading to a tomb buried below. However, in that moment, his eyes widened when he saw a small winged creature wholly made of light flying towards Kyle from behind. Wesley wasn't the only one who noticed the light; instantly, every elf froze, even Nox, who was sitting on Yue's shoulder, narrowed his eyes at the light approaching Kyle from behind.
The atmosphere turned eerily silent as everyone stood frozen in their spots, observing the human and the luminous ball with anticipation and eager eyes. They all had learned essential information about the Sacred Divine Land on the elven planet, and even though they had never come across a mystical spirit before, they were absolutely sure that the light approaching Kyle was indeed a mystical spirit!
Mystical spirits were known to be extremely elusive. They consistently stayed hidden and rarely revealed themselves to others. Yet, here one of them was approaching Kyle so willingly and enthusiastically!?
Those two words were enough to make everyone around him cough out blood. Instantly, the elves looked away from the infuriating human, or else they would want to strangle him. It was a mystical spirit, for the world's sake! Yet this human flicked it away like it was a bug!
Wesley let out a bitter laugh that looked out of place beneath his empty eyes.
They were just an inch away from getting a mystical spirit that would have helped everyone. But...
The old elf took a deep breath and calmed himself. He finally grasped the significance of Yue's words that Kyle had no knowledge about this land. The silver-haired human really knew nothing, and he had to provide the latter with ample knowledge, or else his old heart won't be able to take it if he saw Kyle flick away another mystical spirit.
Wesley glanced at Yue with a forced smile, and she understood he wanted her to tell Kyle about the mystical spirits. So she quickly approached Kyle and informed him about them. He let out an 'oh'.
"So they aren't bugs? I thought they are because some of them clung to my body when I arrived here."
Instantly, the facial expressions of the people around him stiffened. There was only one thought in their heads. So it wasn't the first time he encountered a mystical spirit? They didn't dare to think further than this, or else the blow would be too big for them to digest. Yue let out a soft laugh at his words and shook her head.
"They are not bugs. So next time just let them come closer, then we can use them to locate tombs and treasures."
