Chapter 162: Strange Seal
Chapter 162: Strange Seal
"Enzo, what brings you here?"
Mina, who was preparing potions in the Potion Hut, looked up and asked casually. His expression quickly turned serious as he continued, "What's going on? It seems like there's something wrong with your body."
Enzo nodded.
He recounted the events he encountered in the cave, including the time rift and the shadowy figures it produced, which involved Mina and the Barren Mountain Tribe.
After listening, Mina fell into deep thought.
He then said, "First, I can assure you that the historical scenes you saw are not real."
Enzo asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Mina explained, "What I mean is, that scene was intentionally fabricated by someone. At least I remember very clearly that I didn't know Maude when I was young, but only received her invitation after I became a knowledgeable Potion master."
"Is that so..." Enzo murmured .
He felt that Mina's explanation was somewhat off. Moreover, if someone could arrange those scenes, what would be their purpose?
To deliver the Endless Fire into his hands?
They had already achieved this and there was no need to do it unnecessarily.
It is likely that those scenes were indeed real.
Enzo took the opportunity to inquire about other people's information. As a senior executive of Barren Mountain Tribe, Mina was also very familiar with the other management personnel of Barren Mountain Tribe. However, Barren Mountain Tribe had already been destroyed, and there was no need to conceal this part of the information. He clearly stated the origins, preferences, and responsibilities of the other people.
And these people had one thing in common.
They initially did not know Maude. They were either invited by Maude or joined the Barren Mountain Tribe voluntarily.
This piqued Enzo's interest.
He asked Mina, "Mina, is it possible that the issue lies not with the historical scenes I saw, but with your memory? Do you clearly remember how you became a Potion Master and acquired Potion Master knowledge? Also, becoming a Potion Master requires substantial practical experience."
As Mina listened, his expression changed.
He also realized the problems involved himself—he couldn't recall clearly!
Mina's face turned grim as he said, "It seems your suspicion is correct. The fall of the Barren Mountain Tribe may not have been solely due to disaster. There might be other reasons."
While this was unsettling news.
Although aware of this, Enzo didn't delve further. Since someone had managed to send a piece of Endless Fire through a time-space rift, taking the form of Maude and others, it indicated that some members of the Barren Mountain Tribe were still alive .
Those who were alive were not without resistance.
Their goal was now clear. They needed help and wanted to convey a message to others.
Although Enzo had reached Level 6 and was a formidable presence even within the Barren Mountain Tribe, he wasn't so arrogant as to think he could directly intervene in the tribe's matters.
His immediate concern was addressing his own issues.
As a result , he turned to Mina and asked, "Mina, can you identify my current condition?"
Mina snapped back to attention and said, "You have a seal on you—an ancient and primitive type. It's not difficult to remove."
"A seal?"
Enzo inquired. He had heard of seals before.
However seals typically associated with special places or powerful artifacts.
The idea that a seal could be applied to a person was new to him.
Seeing Enzo's confusion, Mina explained, "Whether it's a seal, a ritual, or a potion, they are essentially just different applications of supernatural power. There's no fundamental difference."
Enzo nodded in understanding.
And he asked, "How can it be removed?"
Mina advised, "It's simple. You just need to drink Moonlight Potion."
Moonlight Potion was similar to Cursed Purification Potion but more powerful, capable of removing most negative effects.
Although it wasn't as effective as the Cursed Purification Potion for curses, it was still quite potent.
Fortunately, Mina had the materials in the Potion Hut.
In no time, Mina prepared the Moonlight Potion. Enzo drank it, and he immediately felt something within him being purged. As the seal was lifted, a tremendous surge of power coursed through his body.
However, neither Enzo nor Mina noticed that...
At the moment the seal was lifted, some information seemed to have been transmitted.
It was a strange sound wave, inaudible to human ears and extremely fast, reaching the underground cave at the edge of Qaidam Lake in an instant. The peculiar mechanical sounds resumed, and the strange apparatus began recording information again.
[Totem... Unable to Analyze...]
[Power Level 6...]
[Talent... Unique...]
[Danger! Danger! Danger!]
Crack!Crack!
The strange apparatus suddenly stopped recording as if someone had turned it off.
The recorded information then disappeared.
...
At the Crimson Star Tribe camp.
Upon hearing that Enzo had returned, Amy immediately sought him out.
Enzo was busy feeling the power he had regained and had taken out some paper to sketch the flame sigils he had perceived. As he drew the sigils and infused them with energy, the symbols on the paper displayed extraordinary characteristics, becoming highly unstable and on the verge of exploding.
So, Enzo tore the paper with the flame sigils.
In the next moment, a fireball erupted.
The explosion wasn't very powerful, but the significance behind it was substantial!
Scroll!
Another supernatural product under supernatural forces.
Enzo didn't know exactly how Scrolls were made, but he now had some clues. If he used better materials, like supernatural beast skins or scales, to draw the sigils and infused them with stronger energy, he could likely create more powerful Scrolls. The process was also quite convenient.
In high spirits, Enzo wanted to share his excitement with the arriving Amy.
As Enzo turned around, he noticed Amy's distressed demeanor.
He quickly asked, "Amy, what's wrong?"
Amy replied, "Enzo, I have a bad premonition. I sense that what has happened is about to repeat."
Did the premonition mean ... being taken away by someone?
Enzo recalled Amy's words and reassured her, "Don't worry, I'm here!"
Just then, a commotion erupted in the camp, with cries from many tribe members.
Enzo and Amy hurried outside.
In the camp, a group of people was wreaking havoc, mocking the fleeing Crimson Star Tribe members. "What weak insects!" one of them sneered.
An elder intervened, saying, "Lord Curtis, we are here to find the Snow Fox Royal Clan."
This caused Curtis to snap, "Shut up! I nearly died in the spatial turbulence from the high tower to find the Snow Fox Royal Clan. Now, you dare criticize me while I deal with these insects? Do you want to die?"
The elder's expression changed, "Lord Andrew is on his way."
Curtis's demeanor softened as he ordered, "Search and find Her Highness."
At this moment, the elder added, "It seems you don't need to search anymore."
Several people looked ahead together, Enzo arrived with Amy, while Tia and Clara also led many combat team members to surround the unexpected guests who arrived.
"Who are you?"
Enzo demanded, suppressing his anger.
Just a brief assessment revealed that eight more tribe members had already died.
The culprits were the people before him, and further fighting in the camp could lead to even greater casualties.
For this reason, Enzo refrained from attacking directly.
Curtis and his group ignored Enzo and focused on Amy. After exchanging glances, they confirmed, "That is indeed Her Highness. She carries the aura of the Snow Fox Royal Clan."
With this confirmation, Curtis's expression relaxed into a smirk.
He then turned to Enzo and said mockingly, "Kid, since you haven't harmed Her Highness, I'll spare you. But next time, speak to me with more respect! You, an insignificant insect, have no right to question me!"
Before finishing his sentence, Curtis appeared directly in front of Enzo .
He threw a powerful punch, only to be surprised when Enzo blocked it.
Curtis, astonished, took a closer look at Enzo and sensed his powerful aura.
His expression shifted slightly but remained dismissive as he remarked, "A Level 6, huh? Too bad you're still just a bigger insect."
Curtis then unleashed his own formidable aura.
A large mass of blood red mist appeared behind him, condensed into a massive crimson fox. The fox seemed to be burning with flames, especially its eyes, which were like two small suns, full of majesty that made people dare not look directly at it. At the same time, it had three tails... All of these were extraordinary.
Enzo felt a pang of unease as Curtis's aura indicated at least Level 7 strength.
"Kid, can you withstand this move?!"
Curtis laughed and advanced, throwing another punch as the enormous blood-red fox struck with a claw.
Boom!Boom!Boom!
A tremendous explosion echoed.
Enzo managed to block the attack once more, this time with an additional ally by his side.
Freya, slightly out of breath, said to Enzo, "I've contacted Melissa. She should arrive soon. Once Melissa is here, we should be able to handle these troubles."
