Sebastian laughed awkwardly.
“Well, it’s not his skills.
It’s mainly because Asher has a younger brother that’s ten times more talented than him.
“Oh?” Nirina’s eyes glimmered.
Sebastian added, “His brother is Adrian Klum.
Even though he’s younger than Asher by ten years, he’s already an inner disciple.
Moreover, he recently had a breakthrough and successfully achieved the mid-level third stage of the Pulse Control Realm, and his future is bright.
Besides that, rumors are going around saying due to his extraordinary talent, some of the elders of the sect have begun to observe him, hoping that he can be their personal disciple in the future.
“Personal disciple…” Nirina pondered for a moment before asking, “Just like Jamie?”
“That’s right!” Sebastian nodded, “However, once Adrian is accepted as a personal disciple, it’ll be for his cultivation talent and not for inscriptions or formations.
Casper, you’re aware that among the six major sects in Earlington of Efrax, our Heavenly Stars Sect is not the best at battles, so…”
Before Sebastian even finished his sentence, Nirina understood what he meant.
Everyone in the Heavenly Stars sect understood that their sect was not proficient in battles.
Hence, the Heavenly Stars Sect tried to change that for generations.
If Adrian was accepted as a personal disciple for his cultivation talent, then he would surely get more attention than Jamie and receive more cultivation resources.
Thus, although they were both the elder’s disciples, Adrian’s position would surely be higher than Jamie‘s.
When he heard that, Nirina‘s eyes flickered, and he commented, “Then, it wasn’t surprising that even though Asher was angry and retreated, he didn’t apologize.
It turns out his support is Adrian.
”Nirina
“You’re right.
” Sebastian nodded.
Despite pretending to be relaxed, everyone could tell Nirina was slightly worried.
After a moment of silence, Sebastian added, “Well, it’s a pity that Heidi has to suffer for that.
”Then, everyone turned to look at Heidi.
However, as she did not wish to make everyone worry, Heidi replied, “We’ll see what life brings us.
If there’s such a day, I still won’t submit to Asher no matter what.
”Without waiting for anyone to respond, Heidi changed the topic and said, “Sebastian, since we’ve arrived at the Flaming Crows Ridge, let’ s not waste any time.
The earlier we’re done with this task, the sooner we can go back.
Just in case Asher’s not far from us and waiting for a chance to create trouble.
”Heidi’s words were exactly what everyone was afraid of. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
Sebastian did not dilly-dally anymore and directly led everyone to the Flaming Crows Ridge.
After crossing through a hill and walking for another distance, the air was filled with a burning smell.
Then, they walked further, and Nirina saw that in an area with green scenery, a large part of it was red, spreading like blood.
From a distance, the outline of the place was like a big decapitated bird.
The green hills suddenly changed color from the edge of this red area, separated by a line, and one side was verdant, the other side was blood-red.
Such a contrast was exceptionally magical.
Even though the Flaming Crows Ridge appeared burnt and red as if it went through a fire, plants were growing there.
It was just that they were usually in black and growing in weird angles.
No matter how one looked at the place, it was a strange sight.
Later, Sebastian reminded everyone, “Remember to focus once we enter the Flaming Crows Ridge.
”“We’ll remember that.
” Everyone nodded.
After passing through that dividing line and entering the Flaming Crows Ridge, Nirina suddenly felt some sort of heatwave surging at them.
However, the heat might be unbearable to mortals, but cultivators would quickly get used to it after feeling slight discomfort.
The group followed Sebastian toward the depths of the Flaming Crows Ridge.
After two hours, everyone was focused on the road ahead when Nirina suddenly had a hunch.
Since Nirina condensed his meridians and perceived the essence of the world, his sensitivity to the changes in his surroundings had far exceeded those cultivators in the same realm.
Soon, the corner of his eyes flashed, and he saw a black shadow rushing toward him at the speed of lightning.
“Careful!” at the same time, Nirina heard Nana exclaim, “It’s a flame-toothed gopher!”
“Casper, hurry and leave!”
“The flame-toothed gopher is a monster, and you can’t handle…”
Just as Yohan and Heidi shouted, and Yohan did not even finish his words, they saw Nirina easily reach out and grab the flame-toothed gopher’s neck.
The giant mouse struggled in his grip, but Nirina’s arm was steady like a metal cast, not moving at all.
Everyone was stupefied when they saw the scene, and the remaining words stuck in Yohan’s throat.
He could not even say anything or gulp.
Instead, Yohan just stared wide-eyed at Frank.
The flame-toothed gopher was extremely quick.
Not only the usual first-stage Pulse Control Realm cultivators, but even strong second-stage cultivators like Sebastian and Yohan would be extra careful when they met one.
If one did not pay attention at such a close distance, they would suffer.
However, Nirina’s movements were so relaxed as he reached out to grab the flame-toothed gopher as if he did this every day, and it was extremely incredible.
Just as everyone was dumbfounded, the flame-toothed gopher opened its mouth wide, shrieked, and aimed at Nirina’s wrist.
Its sharp teeth were all red, steaming with heat.
They appeared just like burning sharp blades, and it was a terrifying sight.
This was also the second thing about the flame-toothed gophers that made others worry.
As they absorbed the heat of the earth all year long, the flame-toothed gophers had not only exceptional biting strength but also had terrifying flame damage.
Their teeth could easily break a fourth-grade sharp weapon into pieces, and it was not a problem for them to damage a fifth-grade weapon too.
If a human were bitten, their wounds would be burnt or even scorched, and the pain was indescribable.
At that time, the flame-toothed gopher was quick and violent, and it bit Nirina’s wrist.
Everyone’s heart sank, and they were all worried.
However, when they looked at Josua, they noticed that he was not in pain.
He appeared annoyed.
The flame-toothed gopher seemed to be puzzled too.
It was as if it was baffled why Nirina did not react to its bite.
Then, the flame-toothed gopher widened its mouth, wanting to bite Nirina again.
Nonetheless, Nirina would never give it such a chance.
“You bit me?” Nirina‘s annoyed tone came, and he tightened his grip.
There was a fleeting scream in the flame-toothed gopher’s throat.
Next, its eyes burst instantly, and his head exploded like a juicy tomato.
When the rest of them saw the scene, they were stunned again.
Even Yohan could not help but gulp and stutter, “This… This is crazy… This…”
