Birth Of The Crafts-God

Chapter 35: Chapter 35 : Separation

The sare shuttle sped through the air within the Astranian Forest, but it didn't fly above the canopy of trees. The reason for this was clear; the Astranian Forest was a very dangerous location filled with tons of deadly desolate beasts.Standing out would turn one into a target for the countless bloodthirsty creatures around. Under the assault of tens or even hundreds of such monsters, even a tenth level Apertures Opening stage stellar practitioner would die. As such, even if the defence of the sare was staunch and unbreakable, most would still not want to test it against the vicious wave of monsters.

Inside the vehicle, the other vice captain of the squad and also vice guild leader, glanced at the screens displayed in, only taking a break away after he failed to spot any desolate beasts nearby.

He then glanced at Lucas and noticed how the latter was calmly sitting in silence. At that moment, the vice guild leader couldn't help but frown.

Truth be told, he was against Crimson Fang leading Lisa to hold back the pursuers. His justification was the unofficial rule as well as another important point; there was no reason to risk offending an unknown party all because of an 'expired' deal.

From his senses, the vice guild leader estimated that there were four pursuers with two of them being at the third level, one at the fourth and another at the fifth. One should know that individuals at the fifth level could be squad leaders or high-ranking members of a strong guild, just like himself.

As for fourth level freelancers, they would be elites and still valued to some extent no matter where they were. This was because the average power level of a freelancer was between the first and third levels.

Someone who could afford to hire these figures would definitely not be an ordinary individual or faction. Intercepting the pursuers would no doubt offend the party behind them, and this might attract unnecessary trouble for guild in the future.

When the shuttle had reached a safe distance, they slowed down and Lucas exited the vehicle right away. The shuttle then zoomed off in a different direction. From here onwards, the deal with the Autumn's Gate guild had ended and Lucas was on his own.

Lucas didn't look worried, even after this reality had dawned on him. On the contrary, he made his move, heading towards a different direction that led to the Cicalien Mountains. As was mentioned before, the Astranian Forest could be considered a 'state'' within the 'country' called the Wastelands. As for the Cicalien Mountains, it was a 'city' within this 'state'.

Compared to the broad green area, the Cicalien Mountains was fraught with more danger. This was how the Astranian Forest was; every distinct region would be crawling with dangerous and powerful desolate beasts, making them more perilous than the shrub-filled zone.

Lucas opened up his communicator and located the mountainous region to be a couple kilometres away; less than ten kilometres to be precise. This distance wasn't much; Lucas could cover it in twenty five to thirty minutes. But with a group of pursuers right behind him, it was a risky journey. He may not even have up to thirty minutes.

'Looks like I'll have to use them.' Lucas thought as he kept on running.

Astranian Forest was a well known danger zone, and even a simple browsing action would reveal this. Since he was aiming for here from the start, Lucas had naturally done his re

With that done, Lucas was confident that he would have enough time to make it to the Cicalien Mountains. As for when he would have to return, Lucas would naturally use a different route.
