Chapter 641: Just how did he find this place?

?

After running into Sinon, Kyle came across Lara. She was actually searching for Jian's location. Without delay, he conjured up a portal and instructed her to head over and make use of the platform.

Just like that, in no time, he located the rest of the people he knew in the tomb with his scent perception skill, except for Regius.

Kyle floated under the sky with narrowed eyes, extending his skill even further. He had nearly surveyed the entire tomb, yet the elven man was nowhere in sight.

"Did he run into any issues?"

He retrieved a communication crystal from his mind space and attempted to reach out to Regius, but the man didn't answer.

Subsequently, he reached out to Jian to inquire if the red-haired man had any clue about Regius's whereabouts.

It turned out that when Jian reached out to Regius, the latter was trapped inside a vast maze- like rock formation encircled by three majestic statues, trying to find an exit.

Kyle closed his communication crystal.

"A maze-like rock formation encircled by three statues... I'm positive I spotted something similar nearby."

He glanced to his left but halted, shutting his eyes briefly to retrace the paths he had taken to arrive at his current location.

After a moment, he reopened his eyes and turned to the right.

"This direction..."

Kyle used instant teleportation and disappeared. Within mere moments, he found himself hovering directly above a maze-like rock formation.

Three grand statues, the biggest he had ever laid eyes on, one female and two males, encircled the maze. He immediately identified one of the three statues as the ice enchantress but couldn't discern the other two due to their damaged state.

He enveloped the rock formation with his scent perception skill but knitted his brows when his skill was repelled by an unseen force. He even tried to enter the formation from above but was met with a dim barrier. Eventually, he found an entrance leading into the formation to enter.

"Just how did he find this place?"

Kyle put his hand on the rocks around him and began walking inside the formation. He tried to spread his scent perception skill now that he was inside, but a tremendous pressure descended on his senses.

"Ugh..."

His eyes mirrored pain as his skill fragmented under the pressure. Despite this, he didn't give up and tried to extend his skill once more, but his skill once again scattered into fragments. Kyle sucked in a deep breath when a sharp stabbing sensation shot out at the back of his head before crawling down his spine.

"This pressure... It's perfect! I can increase the strength of my natural senses here!"

His eyes sparkled as he closed his scent perception skill and cautiously extended his natural senses just an inch beyond his body. It felt like a part of him had been torn away as the fragment of his senses that ventured out of his body was shredded by the immense pressure.

Kyle hissed and immediately stopped.

"That was painful..."

There was no need to hurry. He would take his time and slowly, very slowly, make use of this place. Finally, the tomb offered something that would benefit him.

"If only this pressure were directed towards my body, I'm sure my physique would have easily broken through to the next rank."

He wiped away the droplet of blood that trickled from the corner of his mouth and decided to locate Regius first.

His silhouette darted within the formation as he maneuvered between the rocks. Kyle saw many individuals within the formation, wounded from stumbling into various traps. A flicker of amusement danced in his eyes. It appeared that his luck was finally on track because he didn't encounter a single trap.

He paused in front of a group of humans who were tending to their wounds to inquire if they had spotted an elven man with green hair and a pair of brownish eyes.

The group of humans was vigilant when they saw him because they immediately recognized him! Who wouldn't after what he did in the Gladiator Arena?

They all promptly withdrew, not wanting to engage with him.

Kyle was on the verge of using a bit of force when one of the men in the group stepped forward with a polite smile.

"Hey... I am Elijah..."

The burly-looking man stumbled over his words with a hint of fear and awkwardness in his shining eyes. He was one of the people who was injured.

He almost recoiled as Kyle advanced toward him but composed himself when Kyle

acknowledged him.

"I'm Kyle. Have you spotted an elven man with green hair and brown eyes?"

Elijah blinked and, after a moment, nodded. The others behind him seemed surprised as his interaction with the nature's favorite proceeded so seamlessly.

"I remember the person you are searching for because I saw all your companions in the Gladiator Arena. We met him a while back, but he ignored us and ventured deeper into the

structure."

Kyle nodded and glanced at the group of people behind Elijah. They all wore grim expressions, seemingly lamenting why they hadn't been the ones to answer the nature's favorite question. His gaze lingered on a few of them for a moment.

"Elijah, correct?"

Elijah nodded vigorously, and Kyle gestured towards some of the people behind him.

"Hmm, I don't know how long you've known these people, but when I was around this area, I overheard some of them discussing the idea of eliminating the injured members to lighten the load in their teams. You aided me, so I'm returning the favor. Now it's your call whether to trust me or not."

Elijah's face went pale in an instant as he glanced back at the people behind him, who started shouting that Kyle was making false accusations against them! A seed of doubt crept into his mind and the minds of all those who were injured.

They all fell silent as Kyle stepped forward. He gave Elijah one final look and caught him whispering a quiet thank you before walking away, never glancing back.
