Chapter 395: Frost Bone Dragon
After the Void Soul Stealing burrowed into the ice layer, no one but Lin Zeyu could see it.
"Everyone, please wait patiently for a while. My little treasure-hunting demon is very fast. Twenty kilometers is just a matter of minutes," Lin Zeyu leisurely found a piece of ice to sit on, but quickly realized it was freezing his rear and stood up immediately.
The Void Soul Stealing being responsible for finding the Bone Dragon's Treasure Cave indeed made things a lot easier.
The Elf Warriors all stopped to rest, while Terres pulled Lu Heng aside to inquire about the situation in Kolos City.
Kolos City is currently peaceful, but the Abyss Battlefield has already opened, which means danger will arrive within thirty days.
When the two were talking, they lost track of time and didn't pay attention to the progress of the treasure hunt.
However, as Su Muyu and the surrounding Elf Warriors continued to wait, they started to feel that time was dragging on.
Ten minutes passed, and the Void Soul Stealing had not returned.
Thirty minutes passed, and still, there was no sign of the Void Soul Stealing.
An hour passed…
Lin Zeyu frowned. He had actually long been impatient, but knowing that they were searching for a powerful dragon's Treasure Cave, he thought it should be challenging, and taking more time was normal.
However, considering the speed of the Void Soul Stealing, a round trip within a twenty-kilometer radius should only take twenty minutes.
Su Muyu's face showed a puzzled expression. She turned back to see Lu Heng speaking with Terres and not paying attention to this side.
She frowned, looked towards Lin Zeyu, and asked, "Is your Void Soul Stealing still looking? Can you still see it?"
Lin Zeyu nodded in response, "It's still looking, and I can see it."
He pointed in a direction, "It's over there, still moving; my Demon Hunter Mark has marked it."
Su Muyu looked at the time and asked, "It's been an hour. Are you sure you can still find it?"
Lin Zeyu, somewhat puzzled, scratched his head and replied, "That I don't know. Besides, the Treasure Cave is only speculated to be near the Dragon Nest; it didn't necessarily have to be there. The Bone Dragon might not rest in the Treasure Cave; if it died elsewhere, we surely wouldn't find it."
Indeed, that was the case.
The theory about the Frost Bone Dragon's bones being buried twenty kilometers within the ice was Terres's speculation based on the dragon's lair during its lifetime.
There are many uncertainties in this.
The Treasure Cave may not be there, and even if it is, the Bone Dragon may not be buried inside it.
Of course, finding the Treasure Cave is key to knowing the answer.
As Lin Zeyu spoke, he stared at the direction of the Void Soul Stealing, frowning with a puzzled expression, pointing forward, and said:
"Hey! This thing just went there, why is it running around again?"
His words caught the attention of those around him.
Xie Shi'en reminded him, "Recall carefully which paths the Void Soul Stealing took, and draw out its trajectory."
Lin Zeyu started recalling while drawing circles in mid-air with his fingers, trying to map out the Void Soul Stealing's trajectory.
Although he couldn't remember all the routes, he could remember approximately.
His hand drew one circle in the air, then another…
"Damn! This thing is circling around, messing with me! I'm gonna kill it!"
Lin Zeyu jumped up in rage. He initially wanted to show off in front of Lu Heng and the Elf Sword Saint, but ended up being played by a Void Soul Stealing.
He took out his Electromagnetic Accelerated Sniper Rifle and aimed in the direction of the Void Soul Stealing.
Although the Void Soul Stealing was hiding in the Void Plane, Lin Zeyu indeed had the ability to shoot bullets into the void.
Because his Third Transition Class is [Void Hunter], and his skill is [Void Ballistics].
The bullets and arrows he fired can penetrate into the void.
However, the [Void Ballistics] range is not unlimited, with a range coefficient of 10×Source Energy Level.
His current level is Level 45, which means the range of [Void Ballistics] is 450 meters.
Currently, the Void Soul Stealing is circling in the ice, far exceeding 450 meters away, making it impossible to hit from his current position.
Being unable to shoot from this position doesn't mean there's no suitable firing position.
He leaped onto the ice, rushing towards the direction of the Void Soul Stealing.
The thickness of the ice in the Ice Disaster Rift varies greatly, with thin places only a few meters thick and thick places exceeding a hundred meters.
The ice layers near the Dragon Nest are relatively thick, all over a hundred meters.
Lin Zeyu's [Void Ballistics] has a range of 450 meters. As long as he gets above the Void Soul Stealing and shoots downward, he can blast it to pieces in the void with one shot.
Feeling tricked, he was furious and prepared to shoot once he got within range.
Lu Heng noticed the situation over there, quickly followed, and asked, "What's going on?"
"This damned thing is messing with me. I don't know when it started circling, just continuously looping below, places it's already been to, and it can circle back multiple times, it definitely wasn't looking for the Treasure Cave." Lin Zeyu had a look of embarrassed fury.
Upon hearing this, Lu Heng's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he pressed down on Lin Zeyu's sniper rifle, saying, "This indicates something's up. If the Void Soul Stealing wanted to escape, it could simply leave. But now it's circling. Have you ever thought about what its purpose for circling is?"
Lin Zeyu was taken aback, suddenly realizing the issue.
Logically, this Void Soul Stealing had already been "tamed."
At least, with the temptation of Crystal Cores, it had been "well-fed."
Previously on Blue Star, this Void Soul Stealing had escaped several times but returned after a few days.
Where else could it find such a deal, lying around and getting Shadow Crystal Cores to munch on?
