Walker Of The Blue Sky

Chapter 153: Ch 153: Leaving The Village

It was very early in the morning, so very few people were outside. Emrys did not bother his team members. He simply met Chief Bohu and left the Celesto Tribe Village after ten minutes.

According to Chief Bohu, they have to climb this mountain all the way to the peak before climbing down the other side. The border is not far from the other side of this mountain. However, the mountain peak is a dangerous place.

Just like others, Chief Bohu could tell Emrys was a Sixth Star Warrior just by looking into his eyes. He wanted to test Emrys’s battle prowess so both of them fought for a while.

At first, Chief Bohu fought while suppressing his strength, but when he was unable to defeat Emrys, which surprised him greatly, he let go of the suppressed strength, causing a terrifying aura to erupt from his body.

However, Emrys was full of tricks. Chief Bohu was still unable to defeat Emrys.

Nodding his head in approval, Chief Bohu said that Emrys was qualified to climb the mountain peak. All he has to do is stay careful of big dangers. He wanted Emrys to keep Rufi safe.

Emrys agreed without thinking anything and left the village. He knew that Chief Bohu had not used his full strength. After all, he could feel a terrifying power accumulated within their bodies.

Not long after Emrys and Rufi left the village, Emrys realized something. He was taken aback and couldn’t help but look at Rufi curiously, asking, "After bringing me to the border’s edge, you’ll have to climb the mountain peak again to return to the village. The mountain peak is very dangerous. Why did Chief Bohu let you do that alone?"

"No, no, you misunderstand Chief Bohu!" Rufi shook her head, explaining, "Actually, a few days ago, my father left the village with a group of five outsiders like you, leading them to the border’s edge. Their leader also wanted to find the Sunfire Heartseed. My father should be returning by now, and I think we will meet him along the way. When we do, he will join us. After bringing you to the border’s edge, I’ll return to the village with my father."

Emrys frowned. He did not expect there to be another group of people wanting to obtain the Sunfire Heartseed, and they were ahead of him.

Who are these people?

Emrys suddenly felt a sense of urgency. He knew he had to speed things up. But something else also caught his attention.

"Is your father strong?" Emrys asked curiously.

"He is very strong," Rufi nodded excitedly, saying, "He is a Sixth Step Warrior just like Uncle Anzo, but more powerful."

A powerful Sixth Step Warrior, more powerful than Anzo Celesto!

More importantly, these Celesto People all have a special power hidden in their bodies. No wonder Chief Bohu let Rufi’s father lead the previous group of people. No wonder he let Rufi lead him as well. Chief Bohu must be confident in Rufi’s father and knows that they’ll surely meet along the way.

"But... Who are those people?"

Emrys wondered who the previous group of outsiders was that wanted the Sunfire Heartseed just like him.

The two of them continued to climb the mountain. The natural environment on this mountain was good. The trees around them were tall and dense. There were many dried branches and leaves piled on the ground. Clearly, there weren’t many signs of human intervention.

It looked like the people from Celesto Tribe don’t enter the mountain often.

The higher they went, the denser the forest on the mountain became. It is no wonder the Celesto Tribe was located mid-mountain instead of at the mountain peak.

So, there is another reason aside from powerful Seventh Step Beasts.

"Be careful. There are Fifth and Sixth Steps Poisonous Snakes and bugs here." Rufi walked in front and waved her hand, releasing a sharp ray of light to chop the bushes at the sides. Very soon, she cleared a small path wide enough for one person to pass.

Just like that, as they walked, she continued to clear the path ahead and Emrys continued to follow her.

The two of them walked for more than five hours. During this time, they didn’t have any accidents. Rufi managed to evade all the dangerous areas. It seems her father was not the sole reason Chief Bohu sent her to bring Emrys to the border’s core. She has experience and knows the terrain quite well.

At this moment, Rufi stopped to take a rest. She drank some water and pointed to her left. "We will head in that direction later. Last time, my father brought me there. It’s a little difficult to walk, but the journey will be much shorter. We will reach the mountain peak in six hours at most if we follow this route."

"Okay." Emrys nodded. He had nothing to speak. He doesn’t know the path here so he has to rely on Rufi. Otherwise, it might take him a few days just to cross the mountain.

He sat down on the rock at the side and started to wait for Rufi to regain her stamina.

Although she was a powerful Third Step Warrior, she had been using her strength to clear the path all this while. So, she was exhausted.

After resting for half an hour, the two of them continued on their journey.

This time, Emrys noticed Rufi frowning from time to time. He wanted to ask if something was bothering her but decided otherwise.

They walked for another half an hour, but they didn’t meet any danger. Rufi secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"Crack!"

Suddenly, she seemed to have stepped on something. Her entire body froze, but she didn’t dare to act blindly. She slowly lowered her head to take a look, only to notice that she had stepped on a small bug.

The aura around this bug told her that it used to be a Second Step Creature.

But this alone should not be enough to make Rufi stay still completely. It was as if she had frozen on the spot and couldn’t move.

Emrys saw this scene too and frowned, asking, "What happened?"
