Necromancer: Divine-Level Summoning - Chapter 37

Chapter 37: Continue Exploring

After Keaton killed the four native demons, all the other native demons in the Fallen Sky Lake region were alarmed. The creatures in the region were also affected, and the range of their activities increased.

What was even more surprising was that the demons actually organized a patrol squad to patrolling the perimeter of Fallen Sky Lake in an extremely orderly manner.

Fortunately, Keaton and the others had not chosen to leave. Instead, they had chosen to venture deep into the center of the Fallen Sky Lake area in search of that mysterious Smokefall Plains.

It was also because of this that the demons that had been searching for their prey for a long time became exceptionally irritable.

They had even dispatched troops to enter the center of the Fallen Sky Lake.

“Tsk tsk, looks like we made the right choice. These demons came from the periphery of the Fallen Sky Lake. Thankfully, we chose to go deeper.”

They were hiding within a clump of thick underbrush, and Samira spoke with relief.

“Is this your credit? Didn’t you suggest to retreat?”

The person who spoke was Hurley. During this period of time, Samira would occasionally use Keaton’s name to provoke Hurley.

Hurley had long held a grudge towards her maid and best friend. Now that she had the chance, how could she let Samira off so easily?

“Stop arguing. It’s fine if you guys bicker normally, but why aren’t you analyzing the situation now?”

Keaton coldly snapped. He didn’t give Hurley nor Samira any face.

“The demons here have already been grouped up. As far as I know, only those above Rank 5 can have the ability to organize them.”

“This means that we have been targeted by the demons at Rank 5 and above!”

“If we delay any longer and don’t find the Smokefall Plains soon, we will most likely die under the siege of the demons!”

“At that time, you won’t have time to discuss who is stronger. There is no difference between the strong and the weak. We will only become food in the mouths of those disgusting demons!”

After Keaton finished speaking, Samira and Hurley fell into deep thought.

They weren’t weak, and they weren’t brutes who only spoke with their fists. It was just that these past few days had been too comfortable, so the two of them had relaxed their mental defenses.

A moment later, both of them nodded heavily and spoke in unison.

“We’ll be careful.”

Keaton didn’t reply. He only stood up and walked deeper by himself into the Fallen Sky Lake.

Samira and Hurley both exchanged a quick glance before hurrying after him.

A few hours later, when the three of them crossed the final mountain pass, they arrived at the third possible location of the Smokefall Plains.

What greeted their eyes was a land surrounded in mist!

The three people’s eyes lit up. The terrain here perfectly overlapped with the terrain they knew of.

“Smokefall Plains! This must be the Smokefall Plains!”

Samira jumped up in excitement. Hurley, the short-haired girl, had a smile on her face that hadn’t seen in a long time. The tension in Keaton’s gut also eased at that moment.

“This place is surrounded by mist and smoke, and moreover rich in elemental energy. It really fits the description of Smokefall Plains

“Let’s go in and take a look!”

As soon as Keaton finished speaking, Samira hurried impatiently towards the area.

Hurley smiled and followed closely behind.

Keaton followed behind them, ensuring their safety.

The terrain of Smokefall Plains was extremely complicated. It was also filled with all sorts of chaotic auras. Violent elemental powers flowed freely in this place. No animal could survive here for long.

However, what was surprising was that although there were no signs of animals here, there were all sorts of plants growing here. It didn’t feel like a land of withering life at all. There was a lush scene everywhere one looked!

After searching for a while, the three of them soon discovered something.

“Fire Spirit Grass, it’s actually Fire Spirit Grass!”

Samira looked at the herb in front of her in surprise. The joy in her eyes was like water gushing out of a spring. It could not be stopped!

Fire Spirit Grass was one of the magical herbs that fire mages yearned for. It could help Fire Elemental mages improve their perception of fire elements.

Its value to Fire Elemental mages was no less than the value of the Thunder Soul Wood to Lightning Elemental mages.

“Good stuff, Hurley. Quickly come over here and gather all this Fire Spirit Grass.”

Keaton’s eyes lit up. They had just entered the Smokefall Plains and already found four Fire Spirit Grasses. If they walked a few more steps in, they might be able to obtain more.

“Alright, I’ll put these Fire Spirit Grasses away immediately.”

Hurley looked at Keaton in surprise, but before long the surprise in her eyes was gone.

She knew that Keaton was expressing his goodwill and trust to her. If she didn’t agree, she might incur Keaton’s displeasure instead.

‘I will first put these medicinal herbs away. After we leave this dangerous place, I will take out all our spoils of war and split them with you!’

Hurley thought to herself. After putting away the Fire Spirit Grass, the three of them continued to head towards the depths of the Smokefall Plains.

…

Two hours later, Hurley’s originally empty storage ring slowly began to reach maximum capacity.

The three of them were ecstatic!

Their harvests in these few hours were far greater than what they had harvested in the past few days. Not to mention anything else, just the Soul Calming Flower alone, they had already gathered a total of seven!

There were countless other spirit herbs!

Just as Hurley and Samira were about to continue their search, Keaton suddenly stopped.

Unlike the two of them, Keaton had been on high alert ever since he came to this area.

Although the huge gains from before had lowered Keaton’s vigilance, as time passed, his vigilance quickly returned.

“Be careful, this place might not be as simple as it looks!”

Ever since the three of them entered the Smokefall Plains, not to mention the demons, they did not even hear their howls.

Furthermore, as the three of them went deeper and deeper into the Smokefall Plains, the chaotic aura around them also became thicker and stronger!

Under Kedan’s prompting, Samira and Hurley began to pay attention to their surroundings. Among them, Samira even subconsciously leaned closer to Keaton, as if being at his side was the safest.

“Keaton, did you sense an extremely dense Dark element aura? You are a Dark Elemental summoning mage, you should be more sensitive to this aura than us!”

Hurley frowned, gently sensing the elemental power around her, before she whispered to Keaton.
