Chapter 1243  Punished By Greed

"Is there a way to extract it if it's not mobile?" Grey asked. The idea of using his mental attack to freeze the consciousness of the tree came to him. If he could extract the juice on his own, then there was no need to kill it. ????????.???

"Yes, it's not difficult." The Old man nodded.

Grey's eyes turned pale blue as he nodded, "Alright."

He stared straight at the eyes on the tree, and before the Old man looked, it appeared before them, motionless.

Grey's control over his attacks had grown over the years; now, he could control the intensity of the attack, making sure he didn't kill the tree. In this state, no harm will come to the tree's consciousness, unless he wants to kill it.

The Old man applauded Grey's efficiency in his heart before extracting the juice.

Grey saw the orange juice and just from the amazing smell, he almost wanted to take a sip. The juice was thick just like honey, and it had small glistering white spots on it. He felt it was due to the tree.

Void wanted to take a sip, but he stopped him while explaining what it can cause to him.

Void didn't care and still took a sip of it. It was something great looking, of course he would take a sip, why should he care about what the effects had on him.

After taking a sip, Void unceremoniously disappeared without saying a word a few minutes later.

Grey laughed when he saw how Void was acting before he disappeared.

The Old man looked at Grey and his cat and felt a bit odd about how their interaction was.

"Since we have the juice now, is there a way you can track him?" Grey asked.

He didn't mark him, so there was no way for him to get the location of Arthel. There's no telling where they might be since the realm was large.

"Yes." The Old man nodded and shut his eyes. A few seconds later, they headed toward the east.

According to the Old man, he had a connection with Arthel and can pinpoint his general location.

Time went by and in the blink of an eye, they had spent six hours in the realm. They still hadn't seen Arthel or anyone from the City yet, but they've started to encounter stronger creatures.

Grey saw another tree that looked like the one he took that juice from. This time, its strength was at the early stages of the Elemental Venerable Plane. He didn't dare to engage it in a battle.

The Old man spoke of these things tenacity, and he wasn't interested in finding out about it for now. He already had the juice from a weaker one, of course a more powerful one would give him better effects, he wasn't willing to test out the other effects.

Void had been gone for over four hours now, he had only checked up on him once, but they didn't speak for too long. There was no issue with Void finding him, so he didn't worry about him. Void could take care of himself in this place. Except an Elemental Sovereign appeared, he was untouchable here.

Another hour went by before the Old man told Grey he could sense Arthel very close. There was no way to pinpoint it, but Arthel was close to them.

"I think I might know where he is." Grey said.

He could sense an area with stronger energy compared to the others here. The two places he had been searching were places with vast energies and places with lesser energies. The reason for this was simple, Uthose places housed more treasures or creatures.

Grey headed to the place he could sense a large amount of energy and his guess was right, there was a sign of a battle not too long ago in front of a waterfall.

They started to examine the place. While examining the place, Void appeared with a flushed expression.

"How are you?" Grey asked.

"Good." Void replied before burrowing into Grey's storage, he seemed to be in a vexed state.

Grey didn't bother with him and focused on searching for Arthel. While they were searching, the Old man called his attention to the waterfall.

"There's a cave behind it."

When they walked closer, with a wave of his hand, he separated the waterfall and saw the entrance to the cave. The duo took flight and entered the cave.

The cave extended deeper than they imagined and the signs of battles could be seen as they walked further into it.

"They must be here." The Old man said.

"Or maybe they've left." Grey said. It was not out of the question, after all, there was a good chance the fight started from inside the cave and ended outside.

When they got to the end of the cave, they were greeted by the sight of a large beast. The second the beast sensed them, it roared angrily and without hesitation, it attacked.

"F*ck! I was right." Grey exclaimed softly and blocked the light beam coming their way as they retreated.

The beast was a large goat-like creature, and it was in an irritated state. Its eyes were red, it was clearly still annoyed from its previous battle.

The Old man retreated while Grey held the fort. The Beast was in the Ninth stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane, but its strength can be measured alongside that of a Peak Elemental Venerable.

Grey didn't dare to be careless, he blocked all the attacks and refused to attack. The Beast was in a vexed state, he was certain it had something to do with Arthel and his group.

"I'm not here to fight with you, don't force my hand." Grey said after smacking its attack away.

The Beast looked at him, snorted coldly before retreating back into its abode.

Grey left the place, catching up with the Old man who was already waiting for him outside.

When the Old man didn't see the Beast, he heaved a sigh of relief.

"They must be around then." He said
