Chapter 38: Infiltrating the cave (1)

Henry would take a moment to digest all the information that he has received and will ask.

"Ok then lead me to where this spiritual energy absorber is"Henry added

Lucy would nod her little head slightly. She would be about to walk toward where the spiritual absorber is.

However, she would fall to the ground as she would be about to walk towards the spiritual absorber.

Seeing this Henry would rush to help her stand up. He would hold her hand and would help her to stand up

"You can't walk that means you are hurt somewhere?"Henry questioned her.

However, she would shake her head and would shale Henry's hand away from her body.

"Are you sure you can walk alone?"Henry questioned.

She would nod her head slightly so Henry would let go of her. However, when he would let go of her.

She would fall to the ground. Henry would immediately rush to help him stand up.

"Are you okay? Let me see your legs, I think they are injured.

I know I shouldn't look at the legs of a woman but if you don't tell me that you are injured then there isn't much I can do about it ."Henry added

When she would hear this she would remain silent for some time but a moment later she would speak.

"Yes my legs are seriously injured, I hurt myself when I was running from the beast from that point now I am having difficulty walking

However, for my family's safety, I will walk since if I don't lead you to the place then you wouldn't be able to destroy the spirit….."Lucy will be about to continue speaking but she will be cut off by Henry's actions.

Henry would walk towards her. After walking towards her, he would carry her on his back. Carrying her on his back would be easy since she is light weighted.

"You were thinking so much about something that simple. You could have told me about this earlier which would have saved us so much time" Henry said to her

This will cause her to blush slightly but she would nod her ultimately.

"Now just tell me where to go. I will carry you with me while I travel, "Henry added.

She would nod her head slightly. After that, she would start to give him direction. He will follow the directions.

A few hours later he would appear in front of a small cave entrance.

"Are we here, is it where the spiritual energy absorber is?"Henry questioned her.

She would nod her head slightly

"At the center of this cave is the spiritual energy absorber. Also, have you noticed something?"Lucy added.

Henry would shake his head.

"No, I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary yet but have you?"Henry asked her.

She will nod her head in approval.

"Yes, I have since it's quite obvious. The spiritual energy around this area is very low compared to other parts of the forest. The spiritual energy level is at least 10 times lower than other parts compared to other parts of the forest.

The spiritual energy absorber will look like a really big blue crystal that would absorb spiritual energy from the surrounding area.

It will store it in the huge crystal that will be below the spiritual energy absorber.

One can extract this spiritual energy in a special box that can harvest the energy stored in it.

These spiritual energies can be used for cultivation or for creating special artifacts of unsealing something.

You just have to destroy the crystal that absorbs spiritual energy as for the stored spiritual energy you can extract and use it for yourself" Lucy explained everything to him

Henry would nod his head slightly, and after that, he would begin to scan the cave that was in front of him.

The entrance will look calm and there won't be any sound there. Henry wouldn't even spot anyone around the entrance.

"Lucy you will have to stay here, I will be honest with you, it's dangerous there and you will be nothing but a burden to me with your condition.

I know it hurts but it's the truth"Henry mumbled with a long sigh.

Lucy would stay silent for some time but a moment later she would just nod her head.

"Yes I know I am a burden so I will just stay here but please come to pick me up. I don't want to die before saving my clan, "Lucy explained to him.

Henry would smile at her. He would just nod her head. However, he is very satisfied with Lucy's mature thinking.

He had expected her to request him to take her with him so that she can be of any help to her but she didn't, which makes him happy.

"She is mature when it comes to important things, "Henry thought to himself.

He would have a look at the cave once more and would spot anyone nearby.

"Keep hiding here I will try to come back as soon as possible"Henry mumbled to her

After that, he would start to charge toward the cave at an incredible speed. However, a second later Henry would stop in his tracks.

He would start to feel the presence of a person getting nearer and nearer with each passing second.

"Now I am sure that it's the right place since it's confirmed that people are inside this cave but I need to find a place to hide.

They have an average cultivation realm of at least mid-stag Basic Qi core formation realm. "Henry thought to himself.

Henry would begin to look for a place to hide. Henry thought that Lucy was looking at him anxiously.

He would signal her to stay hidden.

"Damn, I am not finding a good place for me to hide. I should just conceal my aura as much as I can so that he doesn't spot me"Henry thought to himself.

Henry will start to conceal his aura as much as he can. It won't be long before any trace of spiritual energy will disappear from his body.

It would just make him look like a mortal. Now the sound of the footsteps of someone can be heard getting louder with each passing second.

"I think I will have to fight him, "Henry thought to himself as he flicked his wrist and took out a sword.

Henry would begin to rush toward the side of the entrance of the cave since he wouldn't find a place to hide.

"I will have to kill him by ambushing him to quickly kill him, "Henry thought to himself.

A moment later Henry would appear in front of the entrance of the cave.

Henry would keep his aura concealed as much as he can to hide himself from the cultivators.

He would tighten the grip on his sword. At that moment his mind will become clear like water.

The sound of a waterfall would constantly echo in his mind which would calm down his mind and relax his muscles and fibers.

This would allow him to exert a greater amount of strength from his body.

The sound of footsteps will get louder and louder with each passing second. Henry would spot two feet coming out of the cave.

"They are here, now I will just have to kill them, "Henry thought to himself.

Spiritual energy will start to flow into Henry's sword like water that comes out of a broken dam.

Slowly the sword would start to emit a blue glow and then a coating of spiritual energy would be formed around the sword.

The layer of spiritual energy would look like the water that's surrounding the sword.

At the same time, the sound of the footsteps of the cultivator would stop all of a sudden.

"The sound of footsteps has stopped, that means they have sensed the spiritual energy of my sword.

It isn't too surprising, I had expected something like this to happen. Now I will have to fight them head on.

However, since they will not be expecting then they will become shocked which I can take advantage of."Henry thought to himself.

Cold air will leave his mouth, then he will appear in front of the cultivator. There will be around 4 cultivators which will shock him.

All of the cultivators will say at the same time.

"Intruder has been spotted, everyone is prepared to battle and call for reinforcement, "One of them said.

However, before they will be able to leave something unexpected will happen.
