Chapter 529

The Mutated Lightning Owl turned into a soul and was about to condense again. Guo Shier knew that conventional means wouldn't work, so he shouted, "Uncle Luo, Ding Ding, hold it up first. Uncle Falconer, prevent it from escaping!" Then he released the Ancient Flame Bird. The Ancient Flame Bird had been sealed in the Beast Talisman for a long time and was impatient. As soon as it was released, it let out a deafening scream.

The Ancient Flame Bird grew rapidly, reaching a length of 10 meters in the blink of an eye. Raging flames burned on its feathers, and a hot stream of air expanded. Zhou Xiaoling and Luo Zhan couldn't help but step back.

The Hawk Demon also retreated to the side. The Ancient Flame Bird screamed again, and the Mutated Lightning Owl wanted to escape in fear. The Ancient Flame Bird had been nurtured for a long time and fed with a large number of soul beads, so it had reached the strength of a level-eight Ancient Flame Bird. It was superior to the level-seven Mutated Lightning Owl in terms of momentum.

The Ancient Flame Bird showed its tough character and pounced over. Its two giant claws grabbed the Lightning Owl fiercely and the flames on its body instantly burned. The Lightning Owl sent out an electric current and hit the Ancient Flame Bird. The electric current on the Ancient Flame Bird's body flashed. However, the Ancient Flame Bird was a new force after all, and its level was higher. The Lightning Owl had been smashed twice and was badly injured.

With a loud bang, the Lightning Owl turned into a soul again. This time, with the Ancient Flame Bird around, it couldn't condense again and was swallowed by the Ancient Flame Bird.

The Ancient Flame Bird's cry was full of excitement. It had just come out and eaten a big meal. How could it not be excited? It circled in the air and began to shrink rapidly. After turning into a little firebird, it landed on Guo Shier's shoulder and pecked his ear with its sharp beak. Then it grabbed his collar and stopped moving. It needed some time to digest the soul it had just obtained.

Zhou Xiaoling said, "Look … there's lightning on the little firebird!"

The Ancient Flame Bird's body was flickering with thin electric arcs, jumping and flickering on its fist-sized body. Together with the tiny flames, it looked very strange. The Ancient Flame Bird clasped the clothes on Guo Shier's shoulder with one claw and tucked the other under its belly. It tilted its small head and squinted its red eyes, giving people a feeling of innocence and harmlessness.

Guo Shier laughed. "It absorbed the Lightning Owl's soul, so it's normal to have a little lightning attribute.

A dozen black spots appeared on the horizon. Hawk Demon's eyesight was extremely good. He hurriedly said, "Let's go down. A group of Mutated Lightning Owls is coming out!"

Guo Shi 'er looked up and was startled. There were so many Lightning Owls, and the four of them couldn't deal with them. He said, "Let's go down!" His body descended rapidly.

A moment later, the four of them were standing on the ground.

"Go!" Falconer "The four" Owl "to.

The Owl "to. Even if they were four Great Saint Masters, they wouldn't be able to bear the attack of more than a dozen Lightning Owls at the same time.

There were only a few plants on the ground. Most of them were withered trees with thick trunks. Some had decayed, while some were still tall and straight, but they had lost their lives. The ground was crisscrossed with gullies, which were obviously left by a fight. Due to the long time, only some traces were left.

Guo Shier and the others could clearly distinguish which were naturally formed gullies and which were man-made traces of a fight. The more they looked, the more surprised they became.

The four of them were extremely fast. They ran more than 100 kilometers in a few minutes, leaving the Lightning Owls far behind.

"Stop!" Guo Shier said. "We have already lost the Lightning Owls. Let's take a look at the terrain first."

The surroundings were still in a mess. Even after thousands of years, the traces of the fight had not disappeared. There were many new traces, but they were much lighter than those left thousands of years ago. It was obvious that they were not as powerful as before.

Guo Shier sighed. "The traces of the fight here remind me of the three giant beasts that were killed in the Dunya Secret Territory. The quality and strength of the professionals who fought in ancient times are incomparable to the professionals of today. They are really unbelievably powerful."

There were many glass fragments on the ground. Guo Shier could tell at a glance that they were formed by the high temperature in an instant. The fact that many fragments could be seen after thousands of years showed how terrifying the battle had been.

Zhou Xiaoling pointed to a place not far away. "That deep gully shouldn't be formed naturally."

Guo Shier had already noticed it. "Yes, it seems to have been created by a Life Rune Blade. One slash opened a kilometer long and seven or eight meters wide gully. I think … even Ling Zhenren couldn't do it."

Falconer laughed. "Don't be so emotional. When I flew over just now, I saw a big puddle. Do you still remember the shape? It felt like it was created by force. How big was that puddle! "

Guo Shier said, "Follow this path. There seems to be a mountain in front."

They flew close to the ground, not daring to fly high in the air. In the air, they were like targets. Anyone could attack them.

Soon, the four of them arrived at the mountainous area. All the mountains here had their heads shaved off, and all the mountain peaks had disappeared. Guo Shier stood at the top of a mountain. It was a huge platform. It was slightly tilted, and the ground was smooth and flat. He couldn't help but sigh. "Damn! It couldn't have been split open with a single slash, right? "

There were several piles of rocks next to them. The four of them sighed. To be able to smash a mountain in one go, they didn't know how powerful it was.

Falconer said, "Let's search for the altar."

Guo Shier nodded. "Alright, everyone spread out and search. Remember, don't go beyond the range of reinforcements. Bring along your SOS talismans. If you find any soul beasts, don't fight them. Retreat immediately. If you can't retreat in time, send out the SOS talismans without hesitation, regardless of whether you can win or not, understood?"

The four of them split up to search in four different directions.

Guo Shier flew along the mountain ridge. The more he flew, the more surprised he was. The entire mountain range was crooked. It wasn't a natural crooked shape, but a result of the battle. Many of the mountain ridges were cut in half. Large areas of collapse could be seen everywhere. Even after so many years, not even a blade of grass could be seen.

After a while, he found an altar. But this altar was already half-collapsed, the other half was leaning against the side of the mountain. He landed on the altar to take a closer look. This was a completely broken altar. After looking around, he didn't find anything valuable. He understood that this place wasn't too far from Vanguard City. Countless Professionists had already checked this place.

After flying a bit more, he saw a red signal in the sky. Guo Shi 'er immediately turned around and rushed over at lightning speed.

In just a few seconds, Guo Shier had arrived. It was a signal sent by Luo Zhan. He wasn't asking for help. Instead, he saw an altar, a perfectly intact altar.

Luo Zhan stood on top of the altar. Guo Shier landed and asked: "What kind of altar is this?"

Falconer and Zhou Xiaoling also arrived.

Luo Zhan replied: "I don't know what kind of altar it is, but it seems to be intact. But when I stood on top of it, I couldn't feel anything, and the altar wasn't activated either …"

Guo Shier crouched down and placed his hand on the altar. Gumelion was slowly rotating inside his soul. As soon as his hand touched the surface of the altar, Gumelion was startled, then quickly began to rotate. Strands of pure soul were extracted by Gumelion.

Zhou Xiaoling asked: "What's the matter?"

Falconer hurriedly waved his hand and whispered: "Don't disturb Shier"

Guo Shier was completely stunned. He didn't think that Gumelion would have this kind of ability, being able to extract the remnant souls inside the altar to strengthen herself. Because altars were created by sacrificing souls, the previous owner's soul must've been left inside the altar. After so many years, the majority of the souls would've already disappeared, leaving only a very small amount of extremely pure souls to remain.

In just a few moments, Guo Shier could feel his soul growing a bit stronger. That feeling was extremely satisfying. The remnant souls inside the altar were extremely pure, compared to his own soul, it was like comparing muddy water to clear water, the difference between the two was too great.

Finally, Gumelion resumed its slow rotation. Guo Shier heaved a sigh of relief, sat down, and said: "Everyone, sit beside me." He began to chant silently, and the 167 runes in his soul began to affect the fluctuations of his soul, spreading out in circles.

He sat there for half a day, and only stopped chanting when the absorbed souls had completely fused with his own soul. Falconer was surprised: "Hey, my soul seems to have grown a bit."

Luo Zhan said: "Me too."

Zhou Xiaoling nodded: "Strange, Shier, what did you do? I also feel my soul growing … "

The Ancient Flame Sparrow on Guo Shier's shoulder also let out a few crisp chirps, as if it was saying the same thing.

"Nothing. Hehe, let's try our best to find the soul altar. I found a new cultivation method that can quickly grow the soul. Don't ask me why, I don't know why either."

Guo Shier stood up. He remembered the half-collapsed altar and said: "Follow me!"

This place was very close to the half-collapsed altar, so the four of them quickly rushed over. Guo Shier landed on the half-collapsed altar and sat down immediately. Although the altar was crooked, he didn't care at all. After sitting down, he pressed one hand on the surface of the altar. As expected, Gumelion in his soul began to rotate rapidly, and strands of pure soul were extracted.

This time, it was very short. In less than two minutes, Gumelion stopped rotating rapidly.

Guo Shier said: "Everyone, sit down." He began to chant again. When the extracted souls had completely fused with his own soul, the sky was already dark.

After a night's rest, Guo Shier didn't plan to leave immediately. This place was really a treasure land. How could there be so many altars in other places? It would be a pity if he didn't make use of them.

The group worked hard to find the altars, and gradually went further and further away from the inner city of Vanguard, deep into the Wild Battle Secret Realm.

On the way, they didn't meet any professionals, only a few low-level spirit beasts, which were swallowed by the Ancient Flame Sparrow. The journey was very peaceful, and the wilderness was also very peaceful.

On this day, the four of them came to a small lake. When they stopped to rest, Falconer found that there was also an altar at the bottom of the lake. He found it when he went to the lakeside to wash his face.

Although the journey was very peaceful, they didn't find any altar. Therefore, when they found an altar at the bottom of the lake, they were immediately excited.
