Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System Chapter 128: Moved Away

The word 'for now' is still clear in his mind, which ans Olivia still has not given up.

However, Alex knew his own feelings; he had moved on from her after he was rejected, but this doesn't an he doesn't care about her. For Alex, she was always his friend and family.

Seeing how much she got hurt from her eyes makes Alex feel pain, too. He hated it; he wanted to find a way to make her feel better, but what could he do? His hands were tied.

He then let out a heavy sigh, "I will just act like I never heard it as she wished for now."

His relationship with MingYue has improved, but to call them lovers now would be far-fetched; it's more like business partners.

There are also many things he needs to do now rather than focusing on romance.

Alex then entered a nearby building, changing his clothes to a new one.

After he finished, he then left the building, but what was waiting for him was not the Crystal City ruin. Instead, it was a adow adorned with grass and a few big trees.

The tree is unique; its wood is colored green, while the leaves are brown.

This made Alex frown; he tried to contact Emily, Olivia, and the others, but the communication could not connect, as if he was too far away from them.

Thankfully, he can contact Petricia and Zargath since their connection is based on their souls.

He then told Petricia to say to the others to wait for him in the camp. As for Zargath, he ordered him to go to the building he just entered to find out if anything strange was happening there.

'Vesa, where am I?'

[I speculate King was transported to another place, but I don't know the trigger; probably sothing to do with the building King entered.]

'I forgot to ask big sis how she got the parasite; it seems there is sothing special in the area where I found her.'

This made him feel worried; did Olivia safely return to the camp? He then communicated with Petricia, "Petricia, has Big Sis returned?"

"Yes, King, I just saw her entering the camp checking on Lady Quartz and Sir Zold."

Feeling relieved, Alex then started learning around the area; he first looked at the map created by Vesa, 'it seems there are no dangerous monsters here, except I found sothing like a desert Loch Ness.'

His gaze then locked on the biggest tree that he could see; it was 8 ters (26 feet) wide, over one hundred ters in height, and around 328 feet.

The tree was massive in size.

He then walked closer toward the tree, but when he was ten steps away, Alex jumped to stop away.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Two arrows pierce the air, hitting the ground where he had just stood.

Alex quickly took out Ember Shift Hamr and looked toward the direction where the projectile was shot, but he found nothing in the area.

Alex jumped again; a few more arrows ca flying, targeting his head. The arrows then turned into a barrage, shooting toward him nonstop.

Alex frowned as the arrows seed to suddenly materialize in the air and then fly toward him.

'Hmm... Is there a barrier in the area that blocks my detection?' Alex thought to himself as he dodged and parried the projectiles.

His gaze then moved back toward the towering big tree since the arrows were shot when he wanted to co close to it; he felt the tree should have so importance for them.

Alex started moving toward the area; he focused his qi at his feet, then kicked toward the ground.

The mont his feet touched the ground, his body shot forward like a rocket toward the tree, but he didn't crash toward the trunk.

Alex agilely maneuvered his body, stopping just right in front of it.

And Alex's suspicions were true; the mont he reached there, all the arrows had co to a halt. It seems whoever attacked him didn't want to hurt the tree.

After so ti, from the area where the arrows appeared, more than a dozen figures appeared, making Alex's eyes widen in surprise.

All of them were won with sexy figures clad in clothes made from leather and leaves that barely hid their bodies; the design was created to just protect their important parts while not impeding their movent.

But this is not what surprised Alex; he could not detect any life force from them.

Each of these won has olive green pupils, while a tail that is made only from bone cos out from their back. The tail is quite long around 70 cm (29 inches)

Their ears are like those of a fox coming out from their head, covered with black fur, looking just like the cat folk Alex used to see in fantasy stories. Their hair was colored green, cut short, only reaching their neck.

All of their faces were etched with fear and worry, looking toward Alex. One of them then moved forward and started saying, "Miluqiqi!? Luna seda qila bikvu!"

"What are you saying? I don't understand," Alex replied in a loud voice, making sure everyone could hear it.

The woman who ca forward frowned, then started talking in an alien language with the others.

"Nasamila gali mila nabikqi." ("It seems the man cannot understand us.")

"Zelqi mila naqar, gali luna seda zel bik, mila kaluna." ("What should we do now? If the man attacks the sacred tree, we will be dood.")

"Mila kaqu qar luna bikvu gali." ("We need to find a way to get the man out of place.")

"Mila kanari rano gali, kaminor zel seda bik." ("We can try attacking him in close combat, but it will still be dangerous if one of the attacks hits the tree.")

"Mila kaqu qar nabik seda, miluqiqi gali nazer." ("We need to find a way to communicate; who knows, the man doesn't have bad intentions.")

"Mila gali, miluqiqi nazer, mila quila seda qiqi?" ("He is a human; how co he doesn't have bad intentions? Did you forget our ancestor's teaching?")
