Chapter 146: Unseen hand.
"Woa! Did you see that?!" Xiao Lian stopped and excitedly grabbed Lee’s shoulder, looking in the distance.
He, of course, already knew the answer, because only a moment ago both were rushing toward a rock formation where the pillar of fire just bloomed.
They noticed the rocks close to the horizon before the sun set and decided to clean up the black raptors living there in the darkness, taking it as a challenge of the next level.
"It can’t be Senior Sister He Zhenzhu is fooling around? Did she have the fire affinity?" Xiao Lian asked.
"I’m not sure, but something is off." Lee said, "The fight seems chaotic. Let’s go see if they need help!"
The suggestion seemed out of place because if an elemental master was dealing with something, their puny abilities could not impact anything. The problem was, it looked as if the person in the distance was going all out. The pillars of fire repeatedly kept blasting, and probably because it was dark it looked particularly impressive.
The problem was that someone couldn’t deal with the situation by using elemental powers, whatever it was.
There could be a situation that a beast had ignited a spark after the seniors cleaned the place, but even Lee and Xiao Lian were confident in dealing with such – two on one, obviously. But weaker outer disciples could be having difficulties in dealing with a beast like that.
While rushing, Lee pulled out two torches he prepared back in the sect and lit them up. Now they could increase their speed even more, but he got a bad premonition when the fire skills suddenly stopped and it was followed by the screech of the brown dreadtalons.
They were less than half a mile from the place, but Lee was certain he could hear someone swearing and shouting. But the earlier screech indicated there were still raptors around.
Both him and Xiao Lian had the same idea and increased their pace, but it took them over forty breaths to get to the rock formation.
