After putting another layer of the sealed spell at the entrance of the cave, Zheng-Fu headed to the next spot on the map immediately. It had been a month and a half now that Zheng-Fu was in the Forbidden Forest…

It meant that he had only 10 months and a half left before the competition between the clans. It was not that he was afraid of the people in other clans. He just wanted to show how strong the Tian-Tang clan was to those people…

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

His new energy level helped him move very quickly. Not long after leaving the cave, Zheng-Fu and Jin-Tian arrived at one of the spots in the forest…

Thud!

"This place looks like the place where the guy named Lei-Dong was trapped in the magical trap!"

Zheng-Fu said while looking ahead of him with wonder. That was because what he saw in front of him was exactly like the place where he found the first spot. This place was just more peaceful than the first one…

Clomp! Clomp! Clomp!

Zheng-Fu slowly walked into the place to check if the spell patterns in this place were the same as the ones in the first spot. He also looked around the place to check if there was anything strange. He asked Jin-Tian to stay behind him and watch out things from the back…

Rustle! Rustle!

Zheng-Fu turned left and right to check for safety again before taking a close look at the spell patterns one more time…

"These spell patterns are a little different from the ones in the first spot!" Zheng-Fu said while fixing his gaze on the spell patterns…

Whoosh!

Zheng-Fu got closer to where the spell patterns were. Then he started to do according to the routines. He asked Jin-Tian to step one foot into the spell patterns area. Then he prepared to balance his yin and yang energy…

Thud!

…..?

However, nothing was going on the minute Jin-Tian stepped its foot in. Everything was quiet. There was not even wind or any kind of energy that occurred…

"What's going on? How come nothing happens?" Zheng-Fu asked while scratching his head with confusion…

This was the first spot where he did not see any activities going on. Not only there was no dark energy coming out but there was also no reaction at all. It was like the spell patterns were just placed there, blank…

When Zheng-Fu saw that, he started to test things by walking into the spell patterns area to check what was going on. He wondered why nothing happened there…

Whoosh!

Thud!

Zheng-Fu jumped into the area where the spell patterns were. He landed next to the giant rock that was spelled. Then he looked at that rock…

"This is!?"

Zheng-Fu widened his eyes with shock when he looked at the spell patterns on the giant rock. That was because bits of patterns were lost, not because of the process of making the spell. But it was because someone or something scratched them…

The scratch was long and deep so much that it ruined the spell. So, the spell did not work. Zheng-Fu wondered who would be able to destroy the spell without clearing the spell first…

To destroy the spell, the person must possess a very high energy level, otherwise, he would be affected by it if he destroyed the spell the wrong way. From checking out the spell, even a martial artist at the high level of the Golden Core stage would not be able to destroy it. It took only someone at least at the Nescent Soul stage to be able to do it…

Rustle! Rustle!

Zheng-Fu looked on his left and right and started to use his special sense to detect lives and Qi energy waves within a distance of 400 lis immediately…

Whoosh!

After a while of detection, he did not feel anything strange around the place at all. He knew that he was thorough about it, but he could not find anything…

Roar!

Jin-Tian roared while nodding to answer to Zheng-Fu. It started to get serious and looked out for Zheng-Fu…

"We have to get out of this place as soon as we can. You and I also need to hide our energy levels to prevent anyone from detecting us!" Zheng-Fu and Jin-Tian soared out of the place the minute Zheng-Fu finished the sentence. They headed to the next spot they saw on the map instantly…

Whoosh! Whoosh!

"The next spot was on the northern part of the forest. It would take about two days for us to get there." Zheng-Fu said while turning to look at Jin-Tian. Then he turned back to look in front of him…

Whoosh!

Quite far away from Zheng-Fu and Jin-Tian, a figure was moving slowly after them. It was as huge as Jin-Tian, but the aura that came out of it was extremely horrifying. Its bright red eyes stared at Zheng-Fu. When Zheng-Fu was out of its sight, it started to move after him again…

Whoosh!

Two days passed and Zheng-Fu and Jin-Tian arrived at the next spot located in the northern part of the forest. When Zheng-Fu got there, he saw the same kind of giant rock that he saw two days ago. The atmosphere in this place was also like the one in the previous place that he had been to…

Zheng-Fu crinkled his eyebrows tightly while he was looking in front of him. Then he walked forward slowly with utmost care. He also tried to use his special perception sense to examine things in the area…

"Be careful, Jin-Tian!"

Roar!

Zheng-Fu and Jin-Tian walked forward slowly and tried to be careful as much as they could. Jin-Tian stayed back and watch out for Zheng-Fu…

Clomp! Clomp! Clomp!

Zheng-Fu halted right in front of the spell patterns area. Then he sent a signal for Jin-Tian to do according to the routines…

Clomp!

…..?

Whoosh!

Nothing happened again, but a light breeze cooled both of them. There was no dark energy or anything. The giant rock did not glow as well. Everything was as still as before…

"This place too?" Zheng-Fu said while crinkling his eyebrows…

Whoosh!

Clomp!

He did not wait any longer and jumped into the area next to the giant rock to check the spell patterns instantly. And as he did, he spotted a big trail on the ground next to the rock…

The trail was as big as Jin-Tian's foot. It looked pretty much like a footprint of a monster. Zheng-Fu was quick to look at the giant rock immediately. Then he saw it. The spell patterns on the rock were also ruined, just like the one earlier…

Grab!

Zheng-Fu reached his hand to touch the deep scratch on the rock and then said…

"The scratch is still new. I can also feel the energy wave that was left behind on the rock. It means that the monster just came and left." Zheng-Fu said while crinkling his eyebrows again with worry…

If the monster was still around the area, it would not be good for them. Zheng-Fu did not know what kind of monster it was and how strong it was. He, all of a sudden, felt worried…

Zheng-Fu continued to use his exceptional eyes and perception skill to look around. However, he tried to focus on the nearby area and put more intense focus in because he was sure that the monster was still nearby…

Whoosh!

"There!"

All of a sudden, Zheng-Fu could feel a light energy wave in the forest not far from him. As he put more focus on his vision, he could feel a stronger energy wave. In the end, he could feel the existence of the monster…

The energy wave that Zheng-Fu detected was full of dark energy. It was a tremendous amount of dark energy too. It seemed like the monster did not move anywhere like it was waiting for something. Zheng-Fu could not feel its killing intent though…

"What kind of monster is that? How come it makes me feel so cold?" Zheng-Fu said while wiping off the sweat on his forehead. Then he seemed to realize something before saying, "Or is it waiting for me to choose the next spot?" Zheng-Fu started to crinkle his eyebrows tightly when he finished the sentence…

Even though Jin-Tian could not speak, it tended to understand what Zheng-Fu said. And it seemed like the monster that was hiding also understood it too. However, Zheng-Fu was not sure if his guess was correct…

*I guess I have to try to see if my thought is right or not.*

Zheng-Fu had a plan to lure the monster to go back to the spot that he had been to earlier. He did something with the spell patterns there to make it stronger. He wanted to know if his thought about the monster was right. The spell patterns that he modified were so strong that they could kill someone. It could hurt someone at the Nescent Soul stage severely if the person was not aware of it…

"We're going to go back to one of the spots that we went to three days ago, Jin-Tian!" Zheng-Fu said while smiling at Jin-Tian…

Roar!

Jin-Tian roared to agree with Zheng-Fu. They both had a special bond, so Jin-Tian understood Zheng-Fu's thoughts. That was why he roared to respond to him…

Whoosh!

When Zheng-Fu and Jin-Tian understood each other, they both turned back to the southern part of the forest to the spot where he had been to instantly with maximum speed. Zheng-Fu, at the same time, did not forget to use his special perception sense to detect the monster to see if it started to move or not…

Whoosh!

*It's moving! It's moving fast too!*

In just a blink, Zheng-Fu could feel that the monster that was hiding was moving. Then its energy wave disappeared. Zheng-Fu could not detect its existence any longer later on…
