Chapter 598: 598
\"Trouble?\"
\"Trouble . \"
Noah answered June's question and took one of the magical beasts' corpses inside his space-ring .
It wasn't anything too precious, just a rank 4 tiger in the lower tier .
Yet, Noah threw it toward the underground lake as if it was something worthless .
The corpse fell into the lake and created ripples on its surface .
Noah remembered that a rank 5 octopus inhabited its water, but he didn't know if the winged beasts had taken care of it .
To his disappointment, a huge tentacle rose from the lake and wrapped itself around the corpse .
The tiger seemed just a small animal compared to the size of the tentacle, and Noah could hear its bones cracking right before it was pulled under the surface .
June's eyes sharpened at that sight, it became clear that they couldn't cross that area .
'Going forward is out of the question, and the same goes for reaching the surface . There is an entire territory to cross to reach the forest of White woods, and we don't know if the winged beasts control it . '
Noah analyzed his options in his mind .
He knew that the Hive would probably focus on defending its most valuable assets, meaning that it would forsake certain areas .
'The lava lake should be safe since the traces left by divine beings would scare away most creatures . I believe the Hive is focusing on the forest and the azure plain right now . '
It wasn't hard to reach that conclusion, Noah had a good understanding of the value of those areas after all .
'Reaching the coastline and flying over the sea is too dangerous . Most of the fauna of the continent have migrated there, I wouldn't be surprised if those areas have become a messy battlefield in these months . '
Noah thought before turning toward east .
He didn't want to dig toward the central areas, but there didn't seem to be any other option .
He had to choose between a deadly danger, two paths that would most likely feature an even more potent threat, and the unknown .
'We have been lucky until now, we didn't find any underground pack since these areas were the home of the winged beasts . The central territories though…'
Noah had seen how rank 5 winged beasts had come out from the central areas of the continent, he would avoid going there if he had the chance .
However, walking around the lake to resurface on the border of the azure plain seemed the only feasible option .
June had remained silent while Noah thought, she knew that only his survival instinct and expertise in the magical beasts' field could bring them to safety .
So, she simply waited for him to make a decision .
In the end, Noah retreated for a few hundred meters and began to punch the eastern wall of the tunnel .
He still had Chasing Demon's talisman, and there was virtually no creature in the fourth rank that could hurt him, he had no reason to hesitate .
June noticed his stern expression and limited herself to follow him closely, ready to provide him with the assistance that he needed .
The light radiated by the azure ground became softer as the duo neared the terrain under the azure plain .
Noah didn't know much about magical plants, but he could link the growth of the Azure Credits to that phenomenon .
The bushes that grew on the plain contained an incredible amount of \"Breath\", which meant that they had to take it somewhere .
That somewhere was most likely the terrain under them .
