Chapter 166
1,000 kilometres away from the mountainous region where the space portal to the Grand Sea Continent was located .
In the barren lands where there no vegetation, only a few drops of water scattered around the sandy plains could be seen .
"Did it recently rain?'" A figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere while the hot rays of the sun showered the land with sizzling heat .
The silhouette that suddenly appeared looked as if it were an illusion that played tricks on one's eyes .
This 5' 1" tall black-robed silhouette was Davis, who managed to escape while distracting the Sixth Stage experts who were above him .
Even though he had the confidence to escape right under their noses, he didn't want to take any chances either .
He didn't know if his plan worked or not, nor was he interested in knowing the result . All he needed was to distract them and it was enough for him .
He looked above and looked at the cloudy sky which couldn't even block the rays of the sun as if they were too thin .
He chuckled and continued to walk ahead, a slight grin could be seen on his face as he stretched his arms wide, "Ahh, this is the feeling of freedom . . . " He momentarily felt that he was free of burdens, carefree as a free bird .
But instantly, he rolled his eyes at that thought .
He still had a lot of things to do .
His face scrunched up in dissatisfaction at the fleeting feeling of freedom .
"Freedom is an illusion, there's actually no such thing as freedom unless you're always alone, not existing in anyone's mind . . . " He muttered like a philosophical old man who had reached the end of his lifespan .
He suddenly stopped and looked back at the mountains which he came from as he shook his head, "I never thought I would feel so lonely after coming to this place . I am excessively attached to them . . . " His heart especially felt tugged with the feeling of needing Evelynn .
He turned back as he continued to walk, and this time, his eyes had a renewed resolve to become stronger .
. . . .
Two days passed .
Davis could basically confirm that he had left their detection range as he had travelled over 10,000 kilometres speedily with his Silver Stage Cultivation .
But as far as his eyes could see, it was still the mountainous desert region that filled his eyes .
"Damn! I should have reached the Revolving Core Stage before coming to this place!!!!" Davis shouted out, not bothering to mask his voice .
He looked weary, and his eyes were a little sunken .
If he could fly high, he could've seen which direction leads to getting out of this place sooner .
Davis didn't dare to use his Soul Sense, afraid that he might be caught by an existence which he couldn't deal with .
Nor did he want to use his soul body to check it out as he was in an open area .
But this wasn't the problem at the moment .
He looked at the sky, 30 kilometres above and smiled wryly .
A huge flock of Ferocious Vultures flew directly on top of him for over a day, causing a huge headache which led him to this dilemma .
His eyes moved onto a specific Vulture .
It was a huge Ferocious Vulture with a 25m wingspan that looked horrendous with its sharp barbed beak, hooked on the end, and its back occupied with greyish white wings . This creature was especially the reason for his headache for more than a day .
"Why am I so unlucky!?" Davis shouted again .
He tried using the Dark Concealing Shroud Art but it was of no use considering that It just kept following and didn't lose his tail .
A Mortal Rank Species - Grand Beast Stage Magical Beast! A Fifth Stage Magical Beast!
These words kept echoing in his mind, making him cautious of its presence the whole time .
It didn't near him but kept quite a close watch with its intelligent eyes as if seeking for a blind spot all day long .
It didn't dare to near him because Davis was using his soul to faintly pressure it .
This method worked because Magical Beasts normally had weak souls .
Unless the Magical Beast is an existence that has a formidable soul constitution, or from a soul type race, it will not have a powerful soul .
"This is insane!" Davis said as he gritted his teeth . If it came down, then he would have no choice but to engage in a life and death battle with it .
Emperor Tritor and Emperor Raven had weak Soul Cultivation, so he was able to kill them despite their Fifth Stage Cultivation in the other two cultivation systems .
But this was a Magical Beast, and even if a Fifth Stage Magical Beast had a weak soul, its soul was still of the Fifth Stage, which rendered Davis's Death Note useless in this case .
From how he couldn't see its name by using his Death God Eyes, he could tell that it was at least a High-Level Grand Beast Stage Magical Beast .
"At least, it isn't an Earth Grade Magical Beast . Otherwise, I would've been more or less dead right now . . . " Davis muttered as he consoled himself .
He wasn't trying to joke but its presence and gaze gave him a heavy pressure that sent chills upon his spine, making him unable to even relax a little .
He could literally feel death looming over him, waiting to greedily devour his flesh and bones .
His mother had informed him about the difference in species rank of Magical Beasts .
As far as his mother knew, there were five types of species rank and a species rank difference vastly enhanced the chances of a higher-rank species to win against a lower-rank species .
Out of this predicament, he felt glad that this vulture was just a Mortal Rank Species, just like the Magical Beasts present in the Grand Sea Continent .
Suddenly, he felt the pressuring gaze upon him disappear, prompting him to quickly glance at it .
The Ferocious Vulture gave a low shout after it glimpsed in a certain direction . It then looked at him causing his mind to ring alarm bells of danger .
'It's coming!!' Davis instantly thought
