He called this stones Stonehenge for now. It was different from the Stonehenge in the previous earth though.
He checked every stone one by one. From the sword-shaped stone until the dagger-shaped stone and found nothing special about it. The last stone he checked was the human statue, he was not sure if it was human or not, though.
But he a.s.sumed it as human as the statue had similar built as the human. The human statue wore a complete armor, from the tip of the toe to the head, that was why he was not sure if it was human or not.
The statue stood, with his body straight while holding a sword the two hand. It had the sword downward. Randy looked at every detail at the statue yet the same as the weapon shaped stone, there was nothing special on it.
After half an hour, he lost his interest toward the "Stonehenge". He thought he found something good, but there was nothing here.
"Shana, what is this? Do you know something about this?" Randy asked Shana, hoping she would tell him there was something behind this "Stonehenge". He already used all his Skill Point to Shana to level up each time he leveled up, now she was in level 23.
"Hmm, Indeed I know what it is, but I can"t tell you the detail though. But this is something that you shall have for your future. This is Gateway Trial and you need a Rune Master to activate this formation," Shana told Randy with an earnest expression.
"Gateway Trial!? what is that?"
"Tsk, I said already I can"t tell you the detail, but make sure to get this territory for yourself. This thing can make you strong and give some fortune too," Shana said with a mischievous smile.
"Also a torture!" Shana said secretly in her heart.
Randy was surprised and delighted when Shana said the Stonehenge could make him stronger. He didn"t notice the mischievous smile on Shana, he was focusing on the Stonehenge.
"So I need a Rune Master to activate this Gateway Trial… Fortunately, I have Somad, the first Rune Master…" Randy delighted about his discovery.
"Yeah, a Rune Master, but don"t think any Rune Master can activate this Gateway Trial. At least, he is must be an Ancient Rune Master if not, don"t dream to activate this Gateway Trial," Shana broke his delight mercilessly.
"Ugh!?" Randy face turned into bitter, he thought it would be easy as long as there was a Rune Master, "Then how long does it take for Somad to become an Ancient Rune Master?"
"Hmm," Shana held her chin, calculating, "The fastest is one year, the latest about one and a half or maybe even two years,"
"Sigh, then basically, this Gateway Trial is useless for now, right?" Randy lost his interest thoroughly about the Trial Formation.
After saying that, he continued his journey and leaving behind the Trial Formation. But of course, he marked it on his map.
Now the urgent thing for him now was to find water if he wanted to continue his journey as he only had twenty bottles of water left.
He continued walking to the east where the where the Ascension Chest located. The distance to the Ascension Chest was not that far anymore. From the map, he estimated about one or two territories before he reached where the Ascension Chest was.
On the way, he met more and more pack of Silver Wolf. He tasted the Silver Wolf"s meat, even though the meat was not as yummy as the Primeval Nether Wolf, but the meat taste was better than Demonic Rabbit"s meat.
He was walking until the late afternoon yet he neither found a river nor a lake for his supply water. When the night arrived, he decided to set up his camp under Acacia Tree. There were a few trees in the gra.s.sland, but each tree was big.
Taking an example for the Acacia Tree, it was about twenty meters high, with green lush leaves. After finis.h.i.+ng his dinner, Randy was hunting the Silver Wolf while looking for the water source.
Now, his level was far ahead from the ranking two and ranking three in the Level Ranking. There was no change in Level Ranking except the top three.
He was ranked one with level 80, leaving behind the ranking two with margin five levels. Meanwhile, his wife was the ranking two, surpa.s.sed Long Tianyu. Even though they had the same level, level 75. But Zhen Yi was the ranking two.
These two was the madman in leveling. In a week they leveled up for three levels despite only they were hunting the beast within their level.
He still didn"t find the source water after looking for four hours in the night. Randy let out misery sigh at this. Not a long ago, he must save his food, now he must save his water.
The next morning, he finally ate his first breakfast since a week ago. Finis.h.i.+ng his breakfast, he continued advancing to the east.
"I hope I will find water later,"
Maybe it was G.o.d hearing his pray or maybe because of his luck, he found a lake after half a day walking.
Randy filled his 2.5-liter bottle immediately. He had seventy-three empty bottles he needed to fill. He filled each bottle with delight. He focused filling his bottles with without checking there was a danger or not in the lake caused him failed to notice there was something moving under the lake.
When he filled the thirtieth bottle, the thing under lake pounced toward him.
Splas.h.!.+
Two huge crocodiles pounced toward him with their mouth opened wide, intending to bite the prey. Randy released the bottle in his hand, clenching his two hands into a fist before punching the lower jaw of the two huge crocodiles which made their mouth closed again.
There was no trace of panic in his eyes despite being ambushed by the two huge crocodiles.
Because of the force behind the punch, the crocodile pa.s.sed over his head and landed on the ground behind his back.
He turned back to the two crocodiles and used his Detection on the two huge crocodiles.
[Silver Steel Alligator]
Grade: Epic Beast
Level: 110
Just as he was checking the information of the Silver Steel Alligator, there was another a "splash" sound from his back. Even without looking back, he knew it was another Silver Steel Alligator attacked him.
Randy rolled to the left, dodging the incoming Silver Steel Alligator. It was an attack from the three Silver Steel Alligators, with the first two, there were five Silver Steel Alligators on land.
The same with its name, the alligator had the silver color. On its back, rows of silver spikes ran down its spine until its tail. Its bottom was covered with white scale-like skin. The gator was about six meters long, what weird was its feet. It had three pairs of feet, which meant it had six feet.
He changed his sword to Primeval Nether Claymore. When he faced a huge beast like the Silver Steel Alligator, he would use his big sword. After switching his sword, Randy dashed toward the five alligators.
Randy killed the five Alligator with ease. Despite having six feet, the gator"s speed on the land was still slow. Because of this, he managed to kill the five alligators in less than five minutes.
After killing the five alligators, he looked at the lake. Now, he noticed the color of the lake was silver. The same color as the gator"s skin.
Randy swallowed a mouthful saliva. If he jumped to the lake, maybe he would die under this lake. If not for filled his bottle, maybe he would jump to the lake as he had not taken a bath for over a week.
Looking at the silver lake, he wondered how to take the water without being bothered by the Silver Steel Alligator. After some thought, he took out five Silver Wolf"s carca.s.ses. He skinned the silver wolf first before throwing it to the lake. He saved the Silver Wolf"s fur for his mamin-law as from the look; it was good material for tailoring.
After throwing five Silver Wolf"s carca.s.ses, Randy immediately filled the remaining empty. Less than ten minutes, he filled the remaining empty bottle while the Silver Wolf"s carca.s.s was nowhere to be seen.
After that, he found a good spot for his lunch. The menu for the lunch was the gator"s meat. The grilled gator meat. The gator meat flavor was better than the Silver Wolf. He savored the whole gator in fifteen minutes before continuing his journey as the Ascension Chest was getting closer and closer.
On the way, he didn"t meet any beast which puzzled him. Because there was no beast, his journey was smooth and faster than the usual which resulted him reached the next territory.
