Chapter 40: Unknown Treasure
Adrian came out of the cave and started descending towards the mountain. After walking for a while, he soon discovered a valley that appeared between two mountains.
He approached it slowly, but with weary. He didn't find any beasts, which was a bit peculiar. For a seemingly good location, not having any magical beasts around was not a good sign.
That meant that there was something strong enough to chase them all away. His only conclusion was that the region had an overlord, so he had to be careful.
It was common knowledge that magical beasts that could claim an entire area for themselves weren't simple.
However, he didn't need to think so much. He didn't know that what was keeping them away was the stench coming from him. At the bottom of the valley was a small lake. Its clear waters sparkled under the sun's rays while radiating a serene atmosphere.
Its surroundings are filled with vegetation, making it resemble an ambient paradise. Adrian could even recognize some rank 1 herbs among them as he made his way towards the lake.
The fog around it was denser, but it couldn't hinder his vision too much as his body increased in strength.
He noticed that he could see everything clearly, even within the fog.
'This must be one of the benefits of body tempering.' Adrian thought as he reached the edge of the lake. He was right, the Diamond Sovereign Physique was a technique that enhanced all physical aspects, not just his strength.
