Chapter 838 Yu Prefecture (1/2)

The Yu Prefecture was one of the weakest among the eight hundred prefectures of the Tianyuan Region. It was said that the prefecture lord had only reached the advanced Divine Dwelling stage, making him very insignificant in the Tianyuan Region.

It was precisely because the Yu Prefecture was weak that they were incapable of dealing with the Sky Obscurer Beast’s destructive rampage. They could only report this matter to the higher-ups and wait for Tianyuan Utopia to send a team to exterminate the creature.

It was five days later when Zhou Yuan, Ye Bingling and the rest of the team reached the Yu Prefecture.

The Tianyuan Region was far too vast. Even with teleportation arrays of some of the greater prefectures, it took quite some time to reach the Yu Prefecture from Tianyuan Utopia.

...

The Yu Prefecture.

A torrential rain enveloped the land, accompanied by a never ending heavy pitter patter of raindrops.

Zhou Yuan and his team stood on a lush, green peak. Genesis Qi surged around their bodies, evaporating any rain that fell within a half foot radius.

Zhou Yuan was currently holding a map as he gazed at the endless ancient rainforest before him. It was resident to countless giant trees.

“How’s the progress? Have you found the district where the Sky Obscurer Beast has been active?” asked Ye Bingling. They had first paid a visit to the prefecture lord upon arriving in the Yu Prefecture, and he had given them a map together with some recent information about the Sky Obscurer Beast.

According to the information received, the Sky Obscurer Beast should be somewhere in the vast rainforest before them.

However, the environment was quite terrible, and there were numerous strange Genesis Beasts hidden within. Any negligence would be easily punished, and even a Divine Dwelling stage expert might die. Hence, Zhou Yuan and the team had been very careful along the way and did not dare to search too openly.

However, this also made their search much less effective. They had been searching the enormous rainforest for the past two days but had failed to find any clues so far. The Sky Obscurer Beast was evidently extremely cunning and did not dare to move about in the open due to its injuries.

Zhou Yuan shook his head and said, “Let’s venture deeper and continue our search.”

After speaking, he leaped forward, and his figure soon vanished into the torrential rain.

Ye Bingling, Shang Xiaoling and the others immediately followed.

The search continued for another two days. Just as Zhou Yuan was beginning to feel impatient, they finally found a few clues.

Zhou Yuan could sense a hidden, savage aura inside the abyss.

It was an aura that felt dangerous even to him.

“This place is likely the resting grounds of that Sky Obscurer Beast,” said Zhou Yuan in a soft voice.

“We found several suspicious areas previously but ultimately determined they were wrong.”

Ye Bingling cautioned, “We need to make sure first. If we’re wrong, these Genesis Beasts will certainly hold a grudge and cause problems for us down the road.”

Zhou Yuan gave a faint nod of agreement but soon realized the difficulty of the situation this time. No one knew what was in the abyss, and taking the risk to venture in for a scout was evidently not very wise. After all, any one of them would be in grave danger if they were faced with the Sky Obscurer Beast alone, but if they sent more members, the beast would easily detect their presence.

Shang Xiaoling had been silent all along, but at this moment she suddenly said, “You may leave the scouting to me.”

The others looked towards Zhou Yuan. He hesitated for a moment before nodding in approval.

Shang Xiaoling’s hands rapidly formed a series of seals as Genesis Qi rippled in front of her. “Divine Eye Technique!”

The rippling Genesis Qi converged into a somewhat translucent glowing ball of Genesis Qi which contained a swivelling eye.

Bzz!

The eyes disappeared with a flash, but Zhou Yuan could sense an extremely faint undulation moving away from them. As it travelled further and further away, even Zhou Yuan was no longer able to sense the presence of the eye.

Space faintly rippled in front of Shang Xiaoling, revealing a mirror. Images rapidly flitted past in the mirror as if it were connected to the eye.
