Chapter 3799 Tattooed

I appeared in the cave again, but I barely glanced at it. Though, I kept sending the soul waves, before focusing on the thing in front of me.

There are six images in front of me, along with several graphs of data.

"It is a city," I said, looking at those images.

These b.a.s.t.a.r.ds are connected. That city wasn't small. My soul waves weren't able to capture much, but I was able to sense the power of the teleportation gate, and it was powerful.

The teleportation gates of such power are usually in big cities with Sky Sovereigns in charge.

These b.a.s.t.a.r.ds have connections with big cities. At least one big city. They wouldn't have been able to transport such a number of people without it.

The teleportation gates were strictly monitored by the leaders of the city. They at least have some of them in their pockets to manage it; it might be even the governor of that city, nothing could be said.

"Gastin,"

I was looking at the images when my clone spoke. Shocking me.

"Are you sure?" I asked, whipping my neck toward it. I know it is for sure. We are connected and aware of how it had made this connection.

There is a 90% chance that it is right and if it is, then I have just crossed a third of my journey.

I turned left and looked at the journey chart. There is a gastin and it would have taken ten days of hopping teleportation gates, but I reached there, in a few hours.

It made me feel a little better about the journey.

I will get away, and now I won't need to travel as much as I would have from Yiru. The only, I have to do to resume my journey is to escape.

I had just thought that when they threw me into another formation.

Three hours pa.s.sed, and I went from one dark place to another. There was another city, my clone is looking at, but isn't able to recognize with the data, I have.

Maybe it was not on the route I was traveling. I really hope it is not what I am thinking.

I was wrestling with my thoughts when I was thrown into another teleportation formation.

Hun!

A few seconds later, I appeared in another place. The moment, I appeared in it; I knew it was different.

The first thing, different about it is that. It is bright. All the places I had pa.s.sed through were dark, including the two cities, but this place was bright.

It is also a big room with powerful formations and artifacts placed around it. The thing that made me serious was the third layer of paint on those walls.

It is of birik, a special mix of paint made of the ririk stone. It is a rare material and expensive, but powerful enough to be effective against the soul sense of Sky Sovereign.

Click!

"Thirteen. It seemed like, the hunt went better than I had imagined," said the old stone-skin man as he entered inside.

"Pay up," said the man that brought us.

Of all twenty-eight sky sovereigns, only he had remained. The same with people of the sixty-seven, only thirteen have been brought to this place.

"Sure, sure," said the old stone-skin man, and a storage ring appeared in his hand, which floated toward the man.

He picked it up as it reached. A moment later, he nodded and stepped into the formation, disappearing from the room.

"With you all, we will once again reach the full capacity," said the old man with a smile. He picked us up with his energy and walked toward the door.

The old man is Earth Sovereign. He is a Peak Earth Sovereign, but I am confident to kill him before he can alert anyone. I really wanted to do that, but I didn't.

I don't know anything about this place. I have to know it before I make a move. For that, I took the risk and inserted the seed inside the old man.

Now everything, he will see, I will see. Though the range would be much smaller. This paint affects my seeds too, but I don't think, I would need to be worried about it too much.

I could feel we were underground. The place wouldn't be too big. I will continue to receive the signals as long as he doesn't move away from the range.

Click!

He took us out of the room and walked across the long hallway, before stopping at the red door and entering inside, taking us with him.

It is a hall, not big, but not small either.

It is white with a single bed and a lot of shelves, with middle-

aged elf women sitting by the bed. It looked like a lab; it was a lab with everything white and sterile.

"Ready them," he said to the woman and walked out of the door. Leaving us with the elf woman.

The woman didn't say anything. Instead, she pulled out a green skin woman and removed her clothes, before placing her on the bed. Immediately, energy binds covered her from all sides.

They are tight enough, that she wouldn't be able to move, even if she waved us.

As she placed the woman, she put her hand on her chest, before looking at her meta-scan.

She did it for a few minutes, before opening the wooden box by her table and taking out, what seemed like a tattoo gun. It is a tattoo gun, not a machine, but an artifact, and a powerful one at that.

It is not the only thing in the box; there are also blue crystals and red crystals in there. On those crystals, a complicated formation is carved.

Buzz!

The elf woman looked at the women on the bed for a couple of seconds, before beginning. She begins to tattoo her, not with the art, but with the runes, which is an art.
