Chapter 3710 Captured I felt his energy moving into the disc and the disc later released the energies, covering my body. A moment later, I found myself getting high in the air, before shooting through the sky. The speed is fast, faster than I could go, but for a Sky Sovereign like him; it is less than half of his speed. He could go much faster if he wanted to. I do not have the soul sense around me, and my eyes are closed, but I can feel the direction we are moving, and we are moving through the route that is seldom used by others. There are no strength-enhancing places or palaces containing the treasure on this route. Instead, a few dangerous spatial fields, powerful monsters and other dangers. For more than half an hour, it was an internal struggle, before I finally let out of faintest of soul sense mixed heavily with the forbidden power. It is very risky to use the forbidden power in front of these people; they are the only ones who might be able to sense it, but there is no choice. If I didn't do anything, then I would be at his mercy and I would refuse to let that happen. Besides, he hasn't brought out his tattoos. So, the chances of him sensing it are much lower, than it would have been. My soul sense spread, covering all the five people and the Sky Sovereign. I could see his race; he was a snake beastman, with beautiful yellow scales covering his whole body. I didn't see any tattoos, but he could bring them in a moment's notice if senses trouble big enough to use their power. I watched him with the bated breath to see whether he sensed anything, but he didn't seem to have sensed anything. Seeing that I moved around my soul sense, always keeping a watch over his emotions, but they remained steady. I watched him, till my clones readied what I had asked them to make, and after a few seconds of hesitation. I had released it gently, while watching his reaction and saw no change, even after it moved out of my soul sense. Seeing that, I released another seed, a few seconds later, and then another and then another. I continued to release them every few seconds. Once they reached near the ground, they would split; one could insert itself into the ground, creating a marker, while another float away. They would remain invisible until coming across a soul sense of Sky Sovereign. Where they would appear in front of them and lead them toward me if they were willing to do a rescue. I don't like to be dependent on others, but there I didn't have the strength to deal with such an enemy, and the difference in our strength is big enough, that my tricks won't work. I am releasing tens of these seeds every minute; he might sense it if I release them in a large quantity, but doing that is my only option. A single one every minute would have been far from sufficient if we were on the main route, but we were not. We are journeying through the place, that is barely preferred by anyone. Over an hour passed, and I had released hundreds of such seeds. I don't know whether any seeds have been picked up, but I will keep releasing them. It is the only thing I could do. Soon, another hour passed, and I sensed the energies changing; strange fiery energies began to appear more and more dense. I wanted to open my eyes more desperately, but I didn't, nor did I spread my soul sense any further. There is only one purpose for my soul sense and that is to see, whether it is discovered the seeds. Till now it hadn't, but I have to keep an eye on him and stop when he does. I may not be able to see, but I know the place where we are at. If I am not wrong, then it is kallas crack, a huge crack on the earth. It is the source of these powerful fiery energies. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂 Nobody knows the exact source of it, with many guessing it is coming from a volcano. It is not; volcanic energies are different, and these are not volcanic energies. A few more minutes passed, and energy got denser, and he created a protective layer around us. I didn't make changes to the seeds; these seeds may be small, but they are quite strong and able to stay active in the harshest energies. The protected layer stayed around us for twenty-one minutes before he removed it. I could still sense the energies, but they were as dense as they were when he covered us with a protective layer. Minutes passed, and the energies got thinner, till I could barely sense them. We have passed the crack and now moving east. I continued to release the seeds, despite the cost. They aren't cheap to make, but the resources are the last thing, I am worried about. If I need to, I will sacrifice everything in my core to save my life. Rippp! Suddenly, we stopped, and I heard the ripping sound a moment later before we resumed the journey. On the way, we came across some monsters, but barely any monster was able to stop him and those like this one were killed with a single attack. It is difficult to kill the monsters of this ruin in a single attack, but he is powerful enough to do it. He had done it over and over since starting a journey. It made me fear about my rescue, but I squashed the thoughts and began to release more seeds, despite the risk of discovery it possesses. Another hour and a half passed, when suddenly he stopped. I thought; it was to kill another monster, but no attack came, instead he turned back, and his soul sense got stronger and spread further. Seeing that, the hope couldn't help, but flutter in my heart.
