Chapter 404: Reap the Benefit

No matter what Himmel Soan said, the sky remained silent. It was as if something was broken.
Himmel Soan never doubted he could speak with the law of nature. However, he couldn’t wake it up when it pretended to be asleep. Once he recovered his strength, he would seek the answers to his questions. He would use force if he had to.
However, he didn’t come up here for the law of nature. He wanted to examine the surrounding area. He needed to find out how big the forest was so that he could figure out where to go next. It was easy to get lost in a forest.
After entering this place, Himmel Soan had a distinct feeling that his mental force had been restricted again. He could only detect things within a mile of him.
“I can see the village in the south. There is nothing but trees in the north. I can’t see where they end.
“Is the Dusk Soul Forest even larger than Stelladom?
“It can’t be. The area of Stelladom is larger than the land area on Earth. If this forest is even bigger than that…” Himmel Soan was amazed.
If that were the case, how big would this planet have to be?
He wondered if Stelladom could take up a quarter of the planet.
This cultivation world filled with spiritual essence was so much bigger than Earth. Things here had to be much more complicated, too. He got himself involved in all this mess because of Gina.
“I guess I have to keep pushing forward and see if I can find anything useful.” Himmel Soan jumped off the tree after making up his mind.
Firey had turned the snake into a meal.
“Master, have a bite! I saved it for you!” Firey was drooling, but she wouldn’t eat until her master was back. Himmel Soan had to try it first.
“It’s nice,” he casually commented. He then sat on the ground and thought about other things.
Firey didn’t try to talk to him because the food was the most important thing now. Himmel Soan taking a break was the best because he wouldn’t interfere with her meal.
After the feast, the snake was completely gone. It was as if it had never existed. It was longer than ten Firey put together, yet she looked exactly the same after the meal. Her weight didn’t change either.
It wasn’t strange though. To her, the snake was both food and energy. She could absorb the energy and turn it into her own.
Her digestive system did the job for her. That was why Firey could eat a whole snake. Ordinary people would have burst their stomachs. They absorbed the energy in the same way as Firey did, but it took much longer to do so. They would feel full very soon because they couldn’t digest it fast enough.
Two hours later, Himmel Soan opened his eyes. “Get ready to leave. I detected something two miles to the north.”
“Alright! Let’s go!” Firey jumped to her feet in excitement.
She wanted to get there now and take care of that “something.” She might find something else nice to eat.
Himmel Soan stopped her. “There’s no rush. We don’t want to alarm them.
“Let’s walk slowly because I think there’s a fight. We don’t want to get involved. Stay hidden and observe.”
Firey stopped, feeling a little sorry. After the reminder, of course, she wouldn’t do anything reckless. She didn’t want to alarm them either. She might lose her food.
“I know! It’s called ‘the wolf has a winning game when the shepherds quarrel!’” said Firey.
Himmel Soan was surprised. He didn’t know Firey was familiar with that expression. She sounded different.
But he didn’t think much of it. “There’s a battle over there. I don’t think that’s the right expression to use.”
Firey thought for a moment and said, “We’re reaping other people’s benefit!”
Himmel Soan nodded.
What a smart girl!
It was perfect for the current situation.
Himmel Soan and Firey headed in the direction of the battle. If they wanted, they could get there in seconds. However, they chose to walk there.
On the way, Himmel Soan kept an eye on the fight. They would show up when one side was losing or when both sides were exhausted.
They couldn’t wait for too long. Otherwise, the winning party might get away.
One mile.
Half a mile.
“Let’s hurry up!” He noticed the sounds getting weaker.
There was no time to hesitate. He arrived at the battlefield in a second to see four men and a woman lying on the ground. To his surprise, the battle was between men and magical beasts.
He didn’t expect to see any living person here, but here they were. Himmel Soan found it incredible.
“It’s done!” Firey dropped a giant black bear on the ground.
She had killed the bear in an instant. Although the bear was covered with wounds, one still couldn’t underestimate it. The more it was threatened, the more likely it would go wild.
However, this bear didn’t have a chance. It was dead before it knew what was going on.
“Alright. Just put it there. I’ll take care of it later.”
“What about them? Should we also kill them?” Firey gestured at the people lying on the ground.
If they couldn’t even handle this bear, they really didn’t have many reasons to live.
