Caspian was puzzled about it. After all, those cultivators that rushed over were mainly in the first-stage Pulse Control Realm, and there were only a handful of second-stage Pulse Control Realm disciples like the Ninth Sacred Sect’s Pablo. Even if the monster with wisdom was pregnant, causing its strength to drop sharply, its realm was still there. Although its power might fall to the level of a third-stage Pulse Control realm, it was equivalent to a Holy Land Realm dropping to a third-stage Pulse Control Realm! Hence, it was entirely different from an ordinary third-stage Pulse Control Realm!
In a nutshell, a first-stage Pulse Control Realm cultivator wanting to kill the monster was like bringing a knife to a gunfight. More importantly, a pregnant monster was extremely terrifying.
“For fame,” Solana answered.
Even though favonovel.com was a girl with few words, favonovel.com mind was brilliant. Besides, Solana also grew up in a family of cultivators, and favonovel.com was influenced from an early age. Compared to Caspian who only joined those halfway through his life, there was still a difference in perspective when they looked at a problem.
When Caspian heard Solana’s answer, favonovel.com immediately understood.
“Whether it’s killing a monster with wisdom or leading a group of people to kill it, it’s a good chance for the apprentice to show their strength.” Caspian nodded. “Furthermore, Earlington of Efrax’s official religion election will begin next year. They’ll have a huge advantage in the upcoming selection if they can gain reputation and attention. In a cultivator’s journey, the younger generations never outstrip the old, but those who can be among the best from the beginning and keep leading until the end of their journey. I understand now that this is the reason for killing the monster. Not only was this related to slaying the monster and getting the demon core, but it’s also the chance to be named the best apprentice of all sects.”
At the thought of that, Caspian waved at Solana. “Since that’s the case, we can’t miss out too. Even if we can’t kill the monster, we can’t allow other sects, especially the Ninth Sacred Sect’s disciples, as we’re in the Heavenly Stars Sect’s territory.”
Solana never disagreed with Caspian’s words. Since favonovel.com said they went, favonovel.com would naturally follow him. However, if there was a chance to kill the monster, Solana thought of giving it to favonovel.com teacher.
Soon, the two walked together to the spot. When it was close to noon, they already arrived at the foot of Hopeful Woman Mountain. However, Caspian realized that his previous estimation was somewhat wrong.
Caspian initially thought the cultivators would beheading the monster wholeheartedly in the remote mountain. Yet, when they reached the foot of the Hopeful Woman Mountain, Caspian saw hundreds of cultivators gathered in fear. Not only that, but the number of people was also increasing, and half of them were also the Heavenly Stars Sect’s disciples.
Someone from the crowd recognized Caspian. Then, the person immediately bowed and greeted, “Casper, you’re here!”
Caspian asked, “Why are there so many people?”
The disciple smiled awkwardly. “About three days ago, news of traces of a monster with wisdom in the Hopeful Woman Mountain suddenly spread. No one believed it at first, as most masters have already cleared this place so that we apprentices could kill other monsters safely. Strangely, the news spread like wildfire. Someone even saw the monster’s silhouette, and others even recorded it with the memory inscription. Hence, everyone had to believe it.”
As the disciple explained, favonovel.com pointed to the surroundings. ”Then, the situation ended up like this. As the news spread everywhere, more people rushed over in groups, and everyone wanted to kill that monster. After all, this is a good chance to gain fame.”
“You mentioned that someone saw the monster and even recorded it? What type of monster is it?” Caspian asked.
“It’s just a ball of white… Some said it was a white tiger, and the others said it was a white wolf. No matter what, it’s white. However, no one can tell what it is,” The disciple explained, “After all, it’s too far away as no one dares to get closer to the monster with wisdom.”
“Hmm…” Caspian nodded and asked another question, “Then, why are these people gathering here instead of going up?”
“Let me answer this,” then, a tall disciple suddenly walked over and bowed to Caspian and Solana, “Nice to meet you, Casper, Solana.”
As soon as the tall disciple appeared, an uncomfortable pressure spread to the surroundings, and that sense of oppression came from the murderous killing intent on him.
Caspian glanced at the disciple and noticed that the Heavenly Stars Sect’s robe favonovel.com wore was stained with blood, and even his sleeve were all torn apart. The guy’s long hair was somewhat messy too. Hence, it could be imagined how many monsters favonovel.com killed in that period.
The disciple who spoke before that was about to introduce this tall disciple’s identity, but favonovel.com suddenly stopped. Nonetheless, the tall disciple did not seem to mind and just waved his hand, saying, “It’s okay. To be frank, I’m a local here, so I’ve been killing the monsters more ruthlessly during this period. As a result, the bloody aura around me is inevitably stronger, and I hope the two seniors won’t mind about this.”
When the disciple explained that, Caspian immediately understood. Even though immortals and mortals were different, that was the place where the disciple was born and grew up.
His hometown was attacked by monsters, and some of his relatives and friends were probably killed. Under those circumstances, it was understandable for a person to murder the monsters in a fury.
“Don’t worry about it. If it were me, I might act even crazier than you,” Caspian patted the disciple’s shoulder, “Remember to be extra careful and not hurt yourself.”
As favonovel.com said that, Caspian took a bottle of precious medicine with healing properties and gave it to the disciple. The disciple was first stunned, and Caspian’s action moved him. The disciple refused at first but immediately accepted the medicine as be continuously thanked Caspian.
When Caspian was in the army, favonovel.com might not always deliberately curry favor with other people, but favonovel.com was still familiar with the action. Besides, Caspian was sincerely giving the disciple the precious medicine, and favonovel.com did not expect any return.
Once the tall disciple accepted the precious medicine, favonovel.com treated Caspian even more respectfully, and favonovel.com explained, “Casper, you might be unaware that Hopeful Woman Mountain is different from the surrounding mountains. There is only one passage up, and the other places are enveloped by highly poisonous miasma. Not to mention the flesh and blood of a mortal, even if a piece of steel is thrown in and taken out after half a day being in the miasma, it’ll be mottled and pitted too.”
The disciple added, “Additionally, the only passage of this mountain is not accessible at all times. It must be when the mountain is directly shining on it, and there are only about 15 minutes available for people to pass. Naturally, only cultivators can go through this. Even if the miasma becomes thinner due to the sunlight, the mortals can’t resist the poison. Not only that, rumor has it that there are countless caves in this Hopeful Woman Mountain, extending in all directions. Hence, in my opinion, if the monster can be found, it’ll still take a lot of effort to kill it. Nevertheless, I’m rather surprised as I’ve never heard that there’s a monster in Hopeful Woman Mountain, and it’s a monster with wisdom too! Where did this monster come from?”
