Chapter 236
Killing a rank 4 magical beasts all by himself was a hard task .
Noah's dantian was still in the gaseous stage, it couldn't inflict heavy damages on creatures in the fourth rank and the "Breath" inside it wasn't enough to completely exhaust the beast .
Yet, Noah had the Demonic form spell which dealt damage over time and increased his physical capabilities .
That, added to the ability of his Yin body, gave him some sort of confidence in his battle prowess . Also, the fact that the Excavating worms were generally considered weak beasts further raised his hopes .
However, Daniel's group had changed the situation .
Noah couldn't use his large stash of potions or his "Breath" blessing to engage in a protracted battle with the leader, he would just attract the attention of the other cultivators in the lair .
That's why he decided that he had to be the first to meet the rank 4 worm .
'I need to accurately determine the strength of the leader and plant some evidence near it . Luckily, I have everything I need for that . '
If his strength wasn't enough to kill the worm, he needed to cooperate with the other three cultivators, Noah wouldn't just give up the Bloodline inheritance because the situation didn't favor him .
Noah began to run .
Echo's head came out from the back of his neck to better inspect the area behind him and it used its scanning ability continuously, sending vague images of the area to Noah .
Noah also raised his concentration to the peak, he couldn't allow being caught unprepared in that situation .
He was fast, he crossed tunnels in a few seconds and directly flew down the vertical ones that he found .
His advance was much faster than the other cultivators in the other parts of the lair .
'The halo is becoming clearer . '
His target was, of course, the pale light coming from the bottom of those caves .
The light became stronger until he could finally understand what caused it .
Noah was in a narrow tunnel when he noticed a shiny crystal emitting the same light that came from the deeper parts of the lair .
'That's an Obsidian Credit! Of course! The halo must be radiated by a large accumulation of fully formed Credits!'
Noah realized and didn't hesitate to dig out the crystal from the wall .
It wasn't circular like the currency used by the cultivators, its shape was uneven and sharp, yet it was still a Credit!
'This should be enough to create two hundred Credits, I believe that its value is a bit lower though since it has to be shaped correctly . '
Noah continued in his march and dug out each crystal that he found .
He knew that those minerals belonged to the Royal family but he simply couldn't care less .
'If they really wanted me to refrain from taking them, I'm sure that Thaddeus would have told me that . '
His relationship with the Royal family had always been complex and it was founded on benefits .
Noah believed that since no one prohibited him from taking the Credits, he could freely gather them .
