Chapter 2975: A Small Window
Rean took a look at Roan, who didn't seem very happy. 'Is this place too bad for you?'
Roan glanced at him. 'I'm basically pure Yin, did you forget? This place obviously affects me more than you. But there is no need to talk about it anymore. I can just use your Light Element to keep it in check.'
Immediately, Rean felt Roan exchanging elements with him. With that, the Sunlight Energy problems seemed to completely disappear for Roan. 'Alright, I'm fine now.'
Riana and the others were surprised the twins could resist this much sunlight Energy with their cultivation. They wondered if they didn't have some secret to make things easier in this Realm. However, with them being Klifon's companions, they couldn't force anything.
Riana then put those thoughts behind her mind and talked to Klifon. "Alright, you go ahead and try to show us the path. It is hard for us to see ahead."
Klifon nodded. "Alright, follow me."
Klifon joined many other Sun Urpins as they made their way ahead. At first, there wasn't anything strange. The only risk was the high concentration of Sunlight Energy. Yet, because it was growing weaker, it became easier for everyone to resit.
Suddenly, Klifon stopped, and so did many other Sun Urpins. He wasn't the only one. Rean also stopped with them at the same time.
"What is it?" Riana asked, trying to look further away. Too bad it was still too bright, and her Spiritual Sense seemed severely restricted in this place.
"There are several concentrations of Sunlight Energy moving ahead," Klifon explained. "They are probably some of the Sunlight Realm's Beasts that we often see outside. It's just that these ones are quite strong."
The other groups from various powers immediately separated into several directions. Everyone had their own plans, so there was no need for them to fight together. Seeing that, Riana asked. "Check the easiest path for us. If there are people going there already, we will follow close behind."
Klifon concentrated, but he couldn't really see an opening. The other Sun Urpins were no better. "It feels like the Sunlight Beasts are evenly spread. It won't matter much which direction we choose. Of course, my senses can only go so far, so I can't tell how's the situation further ahead."
"What about the experts that entered earlier, like the Transition Realm and Elemental Transformation Realm ones. Did they battle with these beats?" One of Riana's companions asked.
Unfortunately, Klifon had no answer for that. "I don't know, and judging by the direction everyone is going, they don't seem to know either. What do you want to do? Stay behind and let those ahead try the beasts first, or take the opportunity to try to go further ahead ourselves sooner?"
Riana was the leader of their group, so she had to give an answer. There were groups that forged ahead, while others hadn't moved yet, like her. "No point lagging behind. We are in this place to look for treasures, after all. If we delay too long, we might lose the best opportunities. Klifon, just select a direction where there aren't many groups and guide us through it."
Klifon nodded, and just as he was about to fly, Rean contacted him through Spiritual Sense. 'Follow my direction. There is a small opening that will allow us to avoid most of those concentrations of Sunlight Energy.'
Klifon was taken aback, but he quickly recovered. He didn't even look at Rean so the others wouldn't think he was talking to him. 'Are you sure? They look all the same to me.'
'At the front, yes, they are evenly spread,' Rean explained. 'However, beyond the first lines of Sunlight Beasts, the situation changes a little. Those going through the left, for example, will end up within the highest concentration of those beasts later. Anyway, just trust me for now.' Klifon couldn't see any difference, which showed Rean's perception in this Sunlight Realm surpassed even his own. Nonetheless, he had no reason to doubt it since he didn't have a better idea. He might as well give it a try. "Alright, this is the path, follow me."
Immediately, their group flew into the distance. It only took a minute or so for the sound of battles to echo in everyone's ears. Not long after, several of those concentrations of Sunlight Energy appeared in front of the twins' group. They quickly changed shape, taking the form of various different ethereal beasts that pounced at their group.
Riana immediately pulled Klifon behind and took the front with the other Saint Realm experts. "You stay there with your friends. I'll take care of these with the others."
Klifon and the twins had nothing to complain about. If they wanted to fight, then let them do it. Having low cultivation wasn't always a bad thing, it seemed.
Physical and Spiritual Energy attacks of various elements rained down on the Sunlight Beasts. However, the Sunlight Beasts were in similar numbers, so they didn't fall straight away. The main point was that each of them had a strength similar to a Soul Transformation Realm expert, at least.
Riana and the others quickly understood why there were so many battles going around nonstop. These beasts were already annoying to deal with. There was one advantage, though. The beasts had no intelligence, so normal tactics proved to work pretty well against them. After a minute or so, Riana and the others finished their Sunlight Beasts, and so did other groups around. Riana quickly pulled Klifon to the front again. "Alright, keep guiding."
Rean's Spiritual Sense messages continued to reach Klifon's mind while he flew ahead. Later, they once again found a few Sunlight Beasts, but their numbers were much lower, making it very easy for Riana and the others to take care of.
That was indeed a very small window. Klifon could now see it, especially the much higher numbers of Sunlight Beasts not far away on the sides. They were just far enough for those ones to not bother them. The same couldn't be said about the other groups, though.
