Whoosh!
It was quite rare for Buttface to be so serious. He dashed out to the clearing and started digging.
Xu Que was a bit stunned. He followed Buttface, almost in a daze.
”What did you find?” Xu Que asked.
”It seems like there is an aura here that belongs to a certain kind of spell formation. I have mastered a spell formation that has a similar aura,” Buttface replied as he continued to dig.
Soon, Buttface had dug up some stones that were imprinted with runes.
”D*mn!” Buttface shouted. ”This is a spell formation alright, but it was imprinted recently!”
”Is this the formation of a Teleportation Spell?” Xu Que asked, furrowing his eyebrows. Although he was a Spell Master, his level was quite low. However, he could still sense that this was a Teleportation Spell because of the aura of the spell formation.
”Yes,” Buttface nodded. ”This spell formation is derived from the 'Nine Dragons Spell.' Although it is not authentic, it is still a remarkable bi-directional Teleportation Spell. It seems like someone imprinted the spell formation here to allow people in from the outside. A great battle was fought here shortly after the spell was imprinted.
”You know so much!” Xu Que said. He glanced at Buttface curiously.
He had to admit, Buttface had profound knowledge in some fields, especially when it came to spells. Although Buttface didn't show off this knowledge, Xu Que knew he must be an expert.
However, the most important issue now was to find the Sky Demon Tribe. From the information Buttface had gathered, it was easy to infer that a mole must have appeared within the tribe. When the time was right, the mole imprinted the Teleportation Spell so that enemies from the outside could attack the Sky Demon Tribe from within.
If this was the case, it could explain why the Sky Demon Tribe was breached under the protection of nine God Powered Cannons. Su Ling'er and her people were attacked by surprise and thus, were ill-prepared.
”Little brat, judging by the aura of this spell formation, I figure this spell was imprinted two months ago. I'm afraid you are too late,” Buttface said, shaking his head.
Xu Que raised his eyebrows a bit and looked around. Suddenly, became calm and breathed a secret sigh of relief.
”There is no smell of blood here. There aren't any bodies for several miles around. I guess they were captured alive, or maybe they just… escaped!”
”What? You're right! We haven't found any bodies! D*mn! Are people so immoral now? Why did they destroy the corpses after the battle?” Buttface said in surprise.
Xu Que's mouth twitched. He hit Buttface's forehead hard and cursed.
”A filthy mouth can't utter decent language! If they really destroyed the bodies, this place would be filled with the smell of blood! Stop talking nonsense! Just go and search for useful clues!”
”Ouch! If you are not a coward, then don't hit me in the head!” Buttface said.
After giving a miserable cry, Buttface cooperatively started to search for clues. But of course, judging from Buttface's personality, he was probably just searching for anything that he saw as valuable.
Xu Que just ignored Buttface. He started to survey the ruins nearby with his Soul Strength.
While it was true that he assumed that Su Ling'er and her people were still alive, he knew that it might just be false hope. If he were to discover that this tragedy really occurred, it would be very difficult for him to accept the truth.
Crash!
Xu Que heard a dull sound. He turned around to see Buttface crushing a big rock with his foot. He then saw Buttface pick up a scrap of black iron under the remains of the rock. After examining it, Buttface looked at it in disgust, figuring that he had found nothing more than a piece of junk. He was about to throw it away when Xu Que shouted at him.
”Stop!”
