Chapter 942 Not Worth My Time

Chapter 942 Not Worth My Time
The group continued their journey after they finished eating. Of course, they weren't able to finish the entire meat. Void kept the leftovers in his spatial storage.
Grey encountered two more Rank Six Magical beasts, but he didn't spend too much time with them. With an easy attack, he was able to quickly frighten them away.
He didn't want Arya to see too much blood, so he made sure when making the kill, it was as smooth as possible.
Thirty minutes later.
Grey, Void, and Arya had gotten to the depths of the forest, and there were signs of other people around.
This gave Grey a little hope that they could find Arya's Big brother. As long as there were people who made it to this place, then there's definitely a good chance that her brother made it as well. However, he didn't get his hopes too high. For an Arcane Plane Elementalists to go through the tough journey of traversing through the forest to this place was no easy feat.
When Grey finally saw people, he realized that most of them were either in the Origin or Overlord Plane.
Looking through the group, three people caught his eye. All three of them were old men, and the auras they radiated were at the Peak of the Overlord Plane. But Grey knew this was not their true strength.
Each of these old men was in the Sage Plane. Although he was unaware of their true strength, he knew it wasn't above the Sage Plane.
When he arrived with Arya, he naturally attracted the attention of those there. He reduced his aura to the Origin Plane, this was the lowest he could take it.
Seeing such a young man in the Origin Plane surprised those present. It should be known that in Arya's town, her Big brother is regarded as a generational talent, and he was only in the Arcane Plane at twenty-five. Grey looked to be around twenty, yet his Plane was higher than all those his age.
Seeing little Arya with him, most of the people looked at him with confused eyes. Bringing a child with him to cross through the forest was even more dangerous than coming alone. If he's alone, he could easily escape, but since he brought a liability, then he would have to not only look out for himself, but he also had to look out for Arya as well.
After glancing at him, they all turned away. They were not acquainted with Grey, to begin with, so after the first few seconds, they all turned their attention to the matter in front of them.
There was a passageway in front of them, but it seemed to only allow a certain number of people inside at a time. Presently, there was a thin veil in front of it. If touched, it would immediately attack the person.
'Void, check it out.'
Grey didn't want to make any moves since he didn't want to draw more attention to himself. Seeing the number of people present, it was only a matter of time before more arrived. He had asked Arya if she had seen her brother, but she shook her head.
He wanted to know if they would head in or not.
Void vanished from sight, and some minutes later, he returned.
'The barrier is set up by a Peak Sage Plane Elementalist. If my guess is correct, this must be where the Elementalist cultivated. Also, I smell the aura of death, although it's faint, it's not hidden.
Grey nodded before deciding to stay on the side. He could force his way through, but since these two Sage Plane Elementalists were biding their time, he would do the same.
Time went on, and every hour, the barrier would open up and people would rush in. Some of them were a little unfortunate and when the barrier closed back up, it cut them in half.
This made the others apprehensive. The same scene occurred the next time the barrier opened up.
Grey couldn't help but shake his head. These people knew all too well how risky it was, but they still wanted to make sure they had a head start ahead of those who were still outside.
The scene of the Elementalists being cut apart by the barrier was seen by Arya, she clenched her fists in fear.
"Do you think my Big brother is among the corpses there?" She asked after summoning enough courage.
"I doubt that." Grey didn't give a clear answer. Although he wanted to give Arya hope, it'll be stupid to assure her of the safety of her brother when he hadn't even set his eyes on him.
From what he knew, it had been a while he came here. There's a chance that he even left after seeing too many experts. The only way he could find out is if he entered the place.
He waited for two more hours before going in with Arya and Void. They were part of the last group to enter the place and he wasn't too bothered. If there were any good things here, it wouldn't be of much use to him anyway. The owner of this abode was a Sage Plane Elementalist who was either dead or already broken through and left this place in hopes to help others.
With Grey's current strength, anything below the Elemental Venerable Plane didn't catch his eyes.
When he entered the passageway, he saw an almost unending path that stretched as far as the eyes could see.
Grey spread out his spiritual senses and easily found the loopholes in this place. There were traps, but to him, it didn't mean anything.
He walked ahead with Arya and Void without bothering about anything. While others trod carefully, he walked in a carefree manner.
Screams soon started to resonate across the place. People were being killed by the traps.
Grey set up a mental barrier around himself and Arya. Since she was not an Elementalist, there was no way she would be able to sense it.
