Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 545 So they aren't bugs?

It didn't take long for the group of elves, one human, and one beast to reach the massive formation of rocks. Nox leaped down from Wesley's shoulder and headed towards Yue, while the old man soared above the array of rocks before landing in the midst of the formation.

The others quickly followed behind, with Kyle being the only one to climb one of the rocks instead of flying over like all of them. He extended his hand towards Yue, who chuckled and grabbed his hand before the duo jumped into the formation together.

Many eyes twitched at the scene, but they chose to ignore it except Sebastian, who gritted his teeth and swore in his mind that he would break the human's hands that touched Yue. He secretly decided to keep an eye on Kyle to learn his combat style, which would help him in the future.

After everyone entered the space, it appeared empty at first glance. The rocks stood tall and silent around them, casting shadows on their figures. Wesley closed his eyes and felt a wave of highly concentrated divine energy coming from behind one of the small rocks nearby. He walked towards the energy source and, after pushing the rock aside, uncovered a hidden entrance leading into the depths of the rock formation.

"Found it!"

The old man chuckled and stroked his white beard as he glanced back at the group. He quickly gestured for them to gather because they would enter this very underground entrance leading to a tomb buried below. However, in that moment, his eyes widened when he saw a small winged creature wholly made of light flying towards Kyle from behind. Wesley wasn't the only one who noticed the light; instantly, every elf froze, even Nox, who was sitting on Yue's shoulder, narrowed his eyes at the light approaching Kyle from behind.

The atmosphere turned eerily silent as everyone stood frozen in their spots, observing the human and the luminous ball with anticipation and eager eyes. They all had learned essential information about the Sacred Divine Land on the elven planet, and even though they had never come across a mystical spirit before, they were absolutely sure that the light approaching Kyle was indeed a mystical spirit!

Mystical spirits were known to be extremely elusive. They consistently stayed hidden and rarely revealed themselves to others. Yet, here one of them was approaching Kyle so willingly and enthusiastically!?

It was unbelievable, and everyone immediately got the cue when Wesley gestured for them to cease all movements so as not to scare away the mystical spirit. A huge grin spread across the old elf's face; he couldn't believe they had just begun their exploration and already found a mystical spirit! He chuckled inwardly because with the help of this mystical spirit, they would easily find many powerful ancient tombs hidden in the Sacred Divine Land that even supreme rank individuals couldn't sense, along with many valuable treasures.

However, not just Wesley, but everyone's thoughts came to a sudden stop, and the happiness in their eyes vanished quickly when they saw Kyle's next move. The human furrowed his brows as the light approached his body.

Kyle raised his hand, and just when everyone thought he wanted the spirit to rest on his hand, he closed his thumb and index finger together, creating a precise grip. He then flicked the spirit powerfully, sending it flying away into the distance. The spirit quivered in the air and let out a pained sound that drifted like a melody before vanishing into thin air with a poof.

The sequence of events happened so fast that no one was able to react and stop the human. Only when the spirit vanished did they believe what had transpired before their very eyes. The first person to call out Kyle, who was oblivious to the inner shock and bewilderment he had caused to the people around him, was Yue.

"Kyle..."

The elven woman squeezed out his name with a helpless smile, and Kyle glanced at her with a clueless expression.

"Yes?"

He blinked when he saw Wesley staring at him with a dark expression, as if he had stolen the latter's precious treasure right under his nose. The old elf wasn't the only one; every person around him was staring at him with a solemn expression. So he furrowed his brows and asked out loud.

"What happened?"

Those two words were enough to make everyone around him cough out blood. Instantly, the elves looked away from the infuriating human, or else they would want to strangle him. It was a mystical spirit, for the world's sake! Yet this human flicked it away like it was a bug!

Wesley let out a bitter laugh that looked out of place beneath his empty eyes.

They were just an inch away from getting a mystical spirit that would have helped everyone. But...

The old elf took a deep breath and calmed himself. He finally grasped the significance of Yue's words that Kyle had no knowledge about this land. The silver-haired human really knew nothing, and he had to provide the latter with ample knowledge, or else his old heart won't be able to take it if he saw Kyle flick away another mystical spirit.

Wesley glanced at Yue with a forced smile, and she understood he wanted her to tell Kyle about the mystical spirits. So she quickly approached Kyle and informed him about them. He let out an 'oh'.

"So they aren't bugs? I thought they are because some of them clung to my body when I arrived here."

Instantly, the facial expressions of the people around him stiffened. There was only one thought in their heads. So it wasn't the first time he encountered a mystical spirit? They didn't dare to think further than this, or else the blow would be too big for them to digest. Yue let out a soft laugh at his words and shook her head.

"They are not bugs. So next time just let them come closer, then we can use them to locate tombs and treasures."
