Strongest Spirit Beast Master Family

Chapter 391

Atop the towering peak of the mountain, Red stood firm, narrowing its eyes against the howling sandstorm. Blaze Regret touched down on the ground, his expression grave as he peered downwards. The fierce storm below made it nearly impossible to discern any details of the landscape.

As time slipped by, the rock fragment in Blaze Regret's hand remained unresponsive. It wasn't until dusk descended, and the first star appeared in the sky, that the fragment began to vibrate with a low hum.

With a swift motion, the rock fragment, about the size of a palm, hovered before Blaze Regret, moving up and down. The mysterious runes on it began to flow more rapidly, and in an instant, the entire fragment became transparent.

Through the glass like fragment, Blaze Regret gazed into the valley. In that moment, his body froze in place, overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of what he saw.

From the mountain top, looking down into the wide valley, a monotonous yellow hue pervades everywhere. Not a trace of the vitality of trees is present, and the cold, fierce wind roars through, swirling up yellow sand that fills the sky. Through nearly transparent rock fragments, Blaze Regret's dark eyes were shocked to see a majestic palace of yellow sand faintly standing amidst the whirling sandstorms!

As the starlight flickered, the edges and outlines of the palace appeared and disappeared intermittently.

"Swish!"

The rock fragment suspended in front of his eyes fell into his palm. Even after a long time, Blaze Regret remained dazed, feeling a sense of unreality, a magnificent structure existing in this desolate, uninhabited valley?

If not for the guidance of the mysterious rock fragment, he probably wouldn't have believed it himself.

"Let's go down."

After pondering for a moment while stroking his chin, Blaze Regret's eyes flickered slightly. The interior of that palace might contain countless dangers, but having come all this way, turning back wasn't his way of doing things.

The mountain was extremely steep. It took a full quarter of an hour before Blaze Regret and Red reached the bottom together.

"Whoosh!"

The sweeping yellow sand made Blaze Regret squint his eyes and then wrap the hood of his black robe around his face, barely making it bearable.

"Be careful!"

Just as Red's claw was about to touch the palace gate, Blaze Regret's voice, filled with seriousness, suddenly rang out.

With a slight nod, Red's sharp claw slammed down fiercely, and in a flash, a dozen sharp yellow sand spears shot out from within the gate, shattering the hard rocks on the wasteland.

Staring at the rapidly vibrating spear shafts, beads of cold sweat appeared on Red's forehead. If it hadn't dodged in time, those yellow sand spears would have been enough to pierce through its body in an instant. Such sharpness would be difficult for even a lord level spirit beast to withstand.

"Dilililu!"

Standing beside the palace gate, Blaze Regret picked up a pebble and tossed it inside the palace. Initially, there was no reaction, but when he threw the sixth pebble, sharp yellow sand spears suddenly shot down from all directions within the palace, covering the entire ground. After a while, they slowly dissipated into dust.

"Damn!"

Looking at the perforated ground, Blaze Regret couldn't help but curse. Fortunately, he tested a few more times; otherwise, stepping in would have left him with no chance of survival.

After confirming there was no danger, Blaze Regret cautiously entered the palace with Red. He glanced around and noticed stone statues arranged around the palace, resembling giant bats with outstretched wings.

As Blaze Regret was observing the various postures of these bats, some of their eyes suddenly flashed with red light, and fragments of rock began to fall from their rigid wings.

At that moment, the stone statues seemed to come to life.

"Red, fall back!"

Without a second thought, Blaze Regret urgently shouted and scanned the statues with wary eyes. Silver white rock quickly spread across his palm.

"Screech~"

An unsettling sound of friction echoed continuously as the bat shaped statues slowly rose into the air. Mysterious runes swirled around them.

"Is this... the long lost art of rune crafting?"

With slightly rapid breaths, Blaze Regret watched the levitating statues in shock. According to legends, in ancient times, there existed a special profession known as rune masters. Lower level rune masters could inscribe runes of lightning and fire, capable of producing terrifying destructive power. More powerful ones could even control inanimate objects to combat spirit beasts.

The scene before him was evidently very close to that legend.

"However, even if it's rune crafting, after all these years, no matter how powerful the runes once were, their energy must have been depleted."

Coming back to his senses from the shock, Blaze Regret's eyes turned sharp as he commanded Red, "Use the Four tail Spear and smash all these statues!"

"Swish!"

Statues descended with a fierce howl, their eyes filled with an icy, murderous intent. Their sole mission was to eliminate any intruders within the palace, even though the palace's owner had long since vanished.

"Boom!"

Red's Four long fiery tails lashed out wildly in mid air, accompanied by the sound of intense explosions. One by one, the statues were shattered, reduced to rubble that scattered across the ground.

Watching the statues explode, Blaze Regret's eyes narrowed slightly. If these statues were at their peak, each could likely possess the strength of a ninth tier lord level being. It was hard to imagine how glorious this palace must have been once.

Within a few breaths, all the statues were destroyed. Red's four long, pale yellow fiery tails lingered in the air, stained with traces of blood, while its chest heaved slightly.

Clearly, it had sustained some injuries during the clash.

"This is just the beginning, and it's already so difficult. It seems that finding the Secret Technique of Flowing Sand Transformation Wings won't be an easy task."
