Early the next morning, Billy and his companions bid farewell to Opal and headed south.
“Boss, should we go to Jadehaven City first or head straight to our destination?” Stout asked while driving the carriage.
“Let’s go straight to our destination!” Billy replied.
“Got it!” Stout nodded in response.
The city of Glavale was over two thousand kilometers away from their destination, and on the way, they encountered several waves of savage beasts’ attacks. However, most of them were just ordinary ferocious beasts, with only two waves consisting of Third-tier Demonic Beasts. For the group now, this level of attack no longer posed any threat. Around six in the evening, the snow carriage stopped on a snowy plain near the coordinate address.
“Boss, according to the coordinates, the relic should be at the foot of that mountain ahead,” Stout said after everyone got off the carriage.
Azure Dragon pointed to a not-too-high mountain peak not far away and said, “Let’s go and take a look!”
“Seems like there’s nothing here!” Soul Chaser scanned the surroundings after they reached the foot of the mountain and spoke up.
“It’s a relic, it surely won’t be easy to find. Otherwise, it would have been excavated long ago,” Black Tortoise responded.
“Everyone, search around and see if there’s anything unusual,” Azure Dragon told the group.
“No need for that!” Amber spoke up, “Give me a few minutes, and I’ll try something!” After speaking, she released her spiritual power, enveloping an area of five kilometers in radius.
At the same time, Billy also released his own spiritual power. After about three minutes, Billy and Amber Barnes’s eyes lit up at the same time, and then they exchanged a glance and smiled faintly.
“Billy, Amber, did you find something?” Ivy asked the two.
“Yeah! Follow me!” Amber smiled and nodded. Then, she led everyone towards the back of the mountain.
“Damn it! There’s actually a cliff here?” Not long after, when they arrived at the back of the mountain, Judge exclaimed. As he said, there was indeed a snow-covered cliff in front of everyone. Because the bottom of the cliff was shrouded in mist, they couldn’t see how deep it was.
“Billy, is the relic down there?” Harleen asked Billy.
“Most likely!” Billy nodded and replied, “There’s a strong aura of pressure emanating from below the cliff.”
“Billy Boy, you wait for everyone up here. I’ll go down first and take a look,” Amber said at this moment. After speaking, she directly floated in the air and headed towards the bottom of the cliff.
“Amber, I’ll go down with you!” Billy responded and followed closely behind.
As they descended, they released their spiritual power to investigate the situation below.
“Billy Boy, there should be a gathering of Demonic Beasts down there. Be careful!” After descending about fifty to sixty meters, Amber looked at Billy and warned.
“Okay! You be careful too!” Billy nodded in response. He could also sense the continuous aura of demonic beasts sweeping towards them from below.
Not long after, when they descended to a distance of about a hundred meters, they finally saw the bottom of the cliff, which was about twenty meters away from them. At this moment, a roar of demonic beasts came from the bottom of the cliff. Twenty to thirty demonic beasts looking up at Billy and Amber, who were descending from the sky. The sizes of these Demonic Beasts varied, with the shortest being a little over one meter and the tallest nearly three meters, with four horns on their heads. What caught their attention the most were the hard scales on these Demonic Beasts, which shone brightly under the sunlight and reflected off the snow, making them particularly dazzling. Billy and Amber could sense that among these twenty to thirty beasts, the highest-ranked one was a Seventh-tier Demonic Beast.
“Billy Boy, I’ll leave them to you,” Amber looked at Billy and smiled.
“Alright!” Billy responded and drew out his blade. Then, with continuous wrist movements, countless sharp blade flashes slashed down into the group of beasts. Although the ranks of these demonic beasts were not low, they appeared weaker in front of Billy. After the blade flashes, more than a dozen demonic beasts fell to the ground, convulsed a few times, and then became motionless. The remaining dozen or so beasts roared again and quickly ran into an ice cave below the cliff.
“We have to thank them for leading the way!” After landing at the bottom of the cliff, Amber smiled as she looked towards the ice-melting cave.
“The relic that the Last Blood Sect Master mentioned should be inside there.” She said.
“Most likely!” Billy nodded.
Afterwards, the two of them explored the bottom of the cliff once again, but apart from the corpses of the Demonic Beasts lying on the ground, there was nothing else.
“Billy Boy, you stay here and wait. I’ll go up and fetch them,” Amber said.
Except for Casey who was at the Half-Step Saint Realm, the others were all at the Mid-Late Sovereign Realm and couldn’t fly in the air yet. If they were to jump straight down a cliff of over a hundred meters, although it wasn’t particularly difficult, Judge and Soul Chaser might still sustain some minor injuries. With Amber Barnes’ cultivation, she could effortlessly carry two people in the air at once.
“Amber, it’s not necessary!” Billy smiled.
“Do you really plan to let them jump down?” Amber Barnes asked.
“Yeah!” Billy smiled again, then he gripped the Bloodshadow Fury Blade and swung it towards the icy ground in front of him. Soon, there were over a hundred ice blocks of various sizes on the surface. Billy’s aura instantly soared, and then he activated the ‘Earth Technique’.
In the next moment, the over a hundred ice blocks floated in mid-air, arranged in a neat and orderly manner. Waves of energy dispersed the mist, revealing a clear view of the entire area below the cliff.
“Billy Boy, your Five Elements Secret Art is impressive!” Amber laughed and said.
“Thanks for the compliment!” Billy smiled in response. Then, he looked up and shouted loudly towards the top of the cliff, “Casey, bring everyone down!”
“Okay!” Casey responded loudly.
Immediately after, they jumped down from the cliff one by one, using those ice blocks as platforms. With the help of these ice blocks, it wasn’t a problem for them, even if it was a cliff of a kilometer, let alone a hundred meters. A few minutes later, Casey and the others all arrived at the bottom of the cliff.
“Billy, did the two of you kill these Demonic Beasts?” Felicia looked at the dozen or so beasts and asked.
“Yeah.” Billy then briefly explained what had happened with those demonic beasts to everyone.
“Tsk tsk, there are three or four Fifth-tier Demonic Beasts among them. We can’t waste their beast cores!” Stout smacked his lips and took the curved blade from Judge’s hand as he walked over.
“Boss, did the other Demonic Beasts run into that ice cave?” Rakshasa pointed to the cave entrance and asked, “Could that be the entrance to the relic?”
“Most likely!” Billy nodded again.
Before long, after Stout obtained all four beast cores, the group walked towards the ice cave. The size of the cave entrance was similar to the ice cave they had explored last time, about fifteen to sixteen meters tall and seven to eight meters wide.
“The oppressive aura inside here is stronger than the ice cave we went into last time!” Bob couldn’t help but comment shortly after entering.
“This place shouldn’t be simple. Stay alert!” Billy nodded slightly.
“Yes!” Everyone responded in unison.
