Finding The Horned Leopard

After they went into the beast territory, a shadow suddenly descended from a tree not too far from the beast territory as it turned out to be the grand elder who had a walking stick on his hand for support.

"I can't believe they actually went inside, anyways this means there will be more interesting scenes for me to watch" said the grand elder with a smile on his face as begin to walk slowly into the beast's territory.

After they stepped into the beast territory, Austin was cautious of his environment as he began to walk light to avoid waking up those beasts that were already sleeping.

"Don't you think it is time you used that talent of yours Jason" asked Austin in a whisper to Jason who seemed to be walking at a slow pace as him.

"There seems to be no beast in this part of the forest" replied Jason as he whispered back to Austin.

"If there is none, then why are you walking slowly" asked Austin in doubt.

"That's because like you, I am being careful not to create any disturbance. Can we continue with our advancement and stop talking for now" reply Jason as he takes the lead forward.

The two continue with their search for a long time while avoiding beasts from all sides and it comes to the point where Jason does not need to say a thing before Austin will get the idea that a beast is nearby. While they were searching, the grand elder who was watching over them was awestruck by Jason's performance so far.

"That kid could actually navigate through the beast territory without running into any beast, if they continue in this way then they won't be needing my help" mutters the grand elder with a smile on his face as he continues to watch them.

Searching for the area with dense spiritual energy wasn't an easy task for the two and Austin was beginning to lose hope of them finding the horned leopard for it is not certain that they will find the horned leopard there. After searching for a while with the sun already coming out and they were yet to find the area with dense spiritual energy, Austin suddenly dropped to the ground.

"What the hell are you doing Austin, come on we need to keep on searching before the sun rises" said Jason as he turned to look at Austin.

"What is the need of worrying about the sun rising since the result is the same and let us not forget that you will be able to catch their scent if they are close so let me rest a bit" replied Austin as he refused to get up.

"It will be difficult for us to avoid being seen even with my talent so I advise we keep on moving" said Jason as he tries to persuade Austin.

"This is a waste of our time you know, there is no way we will be able to locate the horned leopard if we can't find an area that is filled with spiritual energy" replied Austin.

"I know it is not easy to find a place that's filled with spiritual energy but we can't give up now, not after coming this far" said Jason.

"It's not like I have given up but there is no way I will be able to make improvements in my cultivation path if things continue like this. I need to get into some action man" replied Austin with a clenched fist.

"There are a lot of beasts here so you can go entertain yourself but don't drag me along with you" said Jason after hearing Austin's statement.

"Come on man, I would be dead if I tried attacking a beast now that I am not in my playground" replied Austin.

"Good, since you know this is not your hunting field, then hold yourself from striking a beast cause I won't be helping you out" said Jason as he continued to walk forward while leaving Austin behind.

Seeing that Jason is leaving him behind which smells trouble for him since he can't tell if a beast is nearby, Austin quickly got up as he ran up to Jason who was so focused on finding the horned leopard.

"Hey since we have been here in the beast territory, the only thing you have helped with so far was saving us from danger. Can't you at least locate the area with high spiritual energy" Jason began to ask for the bracelet.

 "I didn't want to say this earlier but since you asked I will give you a hint. Why don't you try locating the area you seek using the heaven's law technique" replied the bracelet.

"But you know I haven't gotten to the stage where I can feel the energy on the earth" said Jason.

"You don't need to feel the energy, all you need to do is find the place with dense energy and that is all" replied the bracelet.

After getting a hint from the bracelet, Jason turns to Austin as he said.

"There is something I want to try which would help locate the horned leopard but I will need you to protect me for a while".

"You don't need to ask Jason, go on ahead and give it a try. I will do my best to protect you from harm" assured Austin.

With a nod of his head, Jason went into a sitting position as he began to cultivate heaven's law. And watching from afar, the grand elder couldn't help but wonder what the kids are up to and decided to take some steps forward to have a better view of what is happening.

The spiritual energy in the area began to surge toward Jason as he was being baked in spiritual energy and both Jason and the grand elder could see the phenomenon that was happening in front of their eyes.

"How is he able to absorb that much energy" said the grand elder in shock once more and was just about to go meet up with them but that was when Jason's voice could be heard and he decided to stay back and watch things unfold.

"I found an area with dense spiritual energy north from here" said Jason with a smile.
