Is That A Wisp?

Chapter 1043 - Message Engraved In The Ground



Once the shockwaves died down, Feifei grunted as she deactivated her Monster Gecko and slumped to the ground, coughing out some blood as she cursed, "Idiot."

"Is he searching for me?" Feifei thought, recalling Krune's flustered expression as his Cloud Whale zoomed past. As she thought about it, Feifei understood that Krune was searching for her. 'At present, there's too much danger if I reveal myself. There's a good chance I might die under the hands of a demon before Krune gets here.'

"Besides, I want to show him that I am strong enough to take care of myself." Feifei clenched her hand into a fist as she formulated a plan. "First, I must prevent him from doing anything reckless. Then, I must create a meeting point and affix a date so that we can meet without any problems or enemy ambushes."

After thinking it through, Feifei nodded inwardly, taking action immediately once she absorbed some miasma to heal her injuries. She then placed her hand into the ground, activating one of her passive abilities.

Passive Ability—Bone Tree Monster Gecko!

Feifei retracted her hand from the ground, watching a tiny bone tree sapling sprout out of it. It then began to absorb the miasma, using it as fuel to grow in size, reaching its full height of three meters within a couple of minutes. 

Immediately after that, it began to bear fruit, one that continued to grow in size until it reached a length of two meters. Then, followed by a plop, the fruit ripened, falling on the ground as it splattered. 

Soon, kneeling on the ground, having emerged from the pulp of the fruit, was a Monster Gecko. It was kneeling while facing Feifei, under her control. Once it had been birthed, the bone tree began to wilt, turning into dust. 

Feifei planted twenty such trees, commanding the twenty Monster Geckos that had been birthed shortly after, "Go make a message."

She pointed them to proceed in a certain direction, planting more bone trees as she watched them move about. Once the second batch of Monster Geckos was birthed, she sent them in the opposite direction.

In a similar fashion, she sent out numerous groups, intending to engrave enough messages of her wellbeing into the ground.

"Dammit, just where did she go?" Krune was worried as his face had turned pale. For the past five hours, the closer he was to making a full circle, the more he panicked. Surprisingly, he faced enough stress to the extent his sideburns turned white.

Krune seemed to have aged considerably in the past five hours due to worry. 

As the Cloud Whale continued to fly, he suddenly noticed a massive drawing on the ground. Using his Sonic Radar, he was able to read it clearly, "I'm fine, Krune."

The words were like the first rainfall on a drought-ridden land, causing Krune to break into tears as he kneeled. "Thank you… thank goodness… you're alive."

As the Cloud Whale continued to move about, more messages began to appear as Krune read them all.

"I'm fine."

"I'm alive."

"I'm in hiding, Krune."

"I'm strong enough to survive."

"Don't worry."

"I'm fine, Krune."

The messages continued to repeat one after another as Krune traced them all, moving from one place to another as he circled through the region, noticing the fairly vast area that had been covered by the messages. 

Eventually, he noticed another new message that had appeared at a far-off place. "We'll meet after two years here."

Krune was confused as to how the messages appeared, for he hadn't seen anything creating them in the first place. Nevertheless, the way the messages were written, the style of writing, the tone in them all pointed to the fact that it was Feifei who had written them.

Krune was relieved at the fact that she was alive and seemed to be doing well. Then again, that didn't mean he would simply return to a city to chill out for the next two years. He wished to step in and help her the moment she was in trouble. 

So, Krune continued to make rounds over the area where the messages had been written. Moreover, due to the faint winds in the place, the engravings in the ground vanished after a couple of days. 

"Now that he seems to be fine, it's time to work on increasing my strength," Feifei muttered upon using her investigative ability while the Cloud Whale passed by high above in the air. 

She didn't have anything in her surroundings that seemed amiss. But, she was still a White Demon appearance-wise, that was alone in the middle of nowhere. So, it was definitely suspicious. 

However, the reason Krune hadn't been able to sense her despite having gone over the area twice was due to her passive ability.

Passive Ability—Wind Zone!

This ability made her presence resemble the air. So, people would gloss over her existence unless she did something to affect them. With that, Feifei was able to sense numerous threats lurking around in the area. One of them was emanating suffocating pressure to the extent she dared not think about fighting it. 

Also, she was aware of one fact: the moment she deactivated Wind Zone, her presence would register in the senses of the suffocating creature. She was vaguely able to sense that it would be able to reach her neck before Krune would be able to step in to save her. 

So, that's why she hadn't done anything to alert Krune of her existence. 

Thankfully, her abilities revolved around her active ability, Monster Gecko. So, when she created the group of Monster Geckos by using the passive ability of Bone Tree Monster Gecko, they all were protected by her Wind Zone. 

That's how they were able to stay undetected while relaying the messages to Krune.

Once her basic preparations were completed, Feifei retreated deep into the cave that had been widened, seating herself as she began to meditate. The miasma swerved towards her, gushing into her body as she could feel her body density increasing ever so slightly at a consistent pace. 

"Thanks to all my abilities being perfectly attuned to one another, I'll be stronger," Feifei calmly muttered, staring at the group of Monster Geckos that kneeled at the cave's entrance.
