Chapter 159 - Traveling Alone, The Beasts Were In Chaos
After leaving the top floor, Vincent immediately rushed to the meditation room on the second floor. After restoring his tiger appearance, he knocked lightly on the door twice and walked in.
Princ.i.p.al Jace was sitting on the platform in the middle of the room. When he heard someone enter, he opened his eyes.
"Vincent, why are you here?" asked Princ.i.p.al Jace in surprise.
"I"ve managed to get some results from the interrogation, so I wanted to ask the princ.i.p.al for some advice!" said Vincent.
Princ.i.p.al Jace was startled when he heard this. He then said, "That human is very stubborn. He had suffered all kinds of torture before and did not reveal a single word. In such a short period of time, you actually managed to ask him?"
Vincent nodded and said, "I used indirect methods to make some reasonable guesses from what he had said. I want to ask for the princ.i.p.al"s opinion!"
"Alright, sit down and talk!" said Princ.i.p.al Jace whilst nodding.
Vincent sat down in front of Princ.i.p.al Jace. He then briefly told him about the conversation he had with Chris on the second underground level. He then said, "Actually, this is my guess. This group of humans that suddenly appeared must have come with some purpose. Combined with the news of the Bear King"s return that spread like wildfire, I suspect that there might be a certain degree of connection between the two!"
After hearing what Vincent had said, Princ.i.p.al Jace could not help but frown. His eyes became somewhat deep. After a long silence, he spoke again, "What do you mean? Could it be that the already dead Bear King could really be resurrected? Even if he was really resurrected, would he still find a few weak humans to take revenge?"
Vincent shook his head and said, "I"m not sure either. But when I was in War School to encircle and annihilate Qiu Misri and the others, I did hear such rumors!"
Princ.i.p.al Jace suddenly stood up and shouted, "Nonsense! The current Beast Race is ruled by Lord Gajero. Even if the Bear King really came back, it would only be to kill him again!"
Vincent looked at Princ.i.p.al Jace and seemed to have heard some incredible news from him. He asked calmly, "According to what princ.i.p.al had just said, the Bear King really might have come back?"
Princ.i.p.al Jace opened his mouth but he was unable to say a word. His gaze became complicated.
"Child, you are still young. Some things might be related to the influence you received when you were younger. However, can you tell me, if you knew about the whereabouts of the Bear King or humans, what will you do?"
Princ.i.p.al Jace sighed and probed Vincent.
Vincent thought for a moment and said, "I am a student of War School. I will do what the princ.i.p.al wants me to do!"
Princ.i.p.al Jace felt gratified when he heard that. His att.i.tude gradually softened. He sat back in his meditation position and slowly said, "Actually, the news about the return of the Bear King may be true, but the one who returns might not be the Bear King!"
"Might not be the Bear King, what does that mean?" asked Vincent curiously.
Princ.i.p.al Jace continued, "Back then, the Bear King was defeated by Lord Gajero, and there was no possibility of survival. However, the Bear King"s strength was also abnormally strong. He used the last of his strength to send his soul into the Black Hole. He then used it to reincarnate in the myriad worlds behind the Black Hole!"
"After the reincarnation, the Bear King might no longer be a bear. He might no longer even be a beast. A reincarnated person must return to the Beast World and fuse with the bloodline of his previous life in order to recover his past strength. Otherwise, even if the Bear King were to reincarnate, it would only be sending himself to his death!"
"The reincarnation of the Bear King might not necessarily be a bear, and might not even be a beast!"
Vincent repeated the princ.i.p.al"s words repeatedly. In his heart, he instantly thought of his pet Thunder!
The Thunder Beast that he had tamed near the Black Hole had actually fused with the bloodline of the Bear King in the monitoring device. Didn"t this prove that Thunder was the reincarnation of the Bear King?
At that moment, Vincent had already understood everything. No wonder he had received the recognition at the Bear King Altar back then. That was because the Bear King"s reincarnation was in his body.
He only needed to think of a way to let Thunder fuse with all the bloodlines of his previous life in order for it to regain his peak strength!
After thinking of this, Vincent felt much more at ease. Before heading to the Flying Snow Castle, he had already made an agreement with Qiu Misri that he would take the opportunity to contact all the people who were still loyal to the Bear King to save his companions, and cause great chaos!
Previously, Vincent was worried that he would not be able to find the whereabouts of the Bear King, and he had wasted Qiu Misri and the others. However, he was currently able to actually return the Bear King to the Beast Race!
Princ.i.p.al Jace looked at Vincent, who was deep in thought and asked, "You"ve asked so many questions. What do you plan to do next?"
Vincent came back to his senses and said, "I still feel that those humans are very suspicious, so I want to investigate their whereabouts!"
When Princ.i.p.al Jace heard about the humans, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes. It was as if he did not believe in the strength of the humans. To him, given their strength, it was unlikely for them to cause much trouble.
He then told Vincent, "Actually, you"re overthinking it. However, you"re still young. If you want to investigate it, go ahead! I can only provide you with the information that those humans should still be in the Flying Snow Wilderness. The rest depends on your luck!"
After hearing what he said, Vincent replied excitedly, "Thank you, princ.i.p.al. No matter what the result is, I will investigate it thoroughly!"
At that moment, an alarm suddenly sounded in the corridor outside the door. It surprised both Vincent and Princ.i.p.al Jace.
"Something happened! Let"s go and take a look!"
Princ.i.p.al Jace hurriedly led Vincent out of the door and saw Mosshull rus.h.i.+ng over.
"Princ.i.p.al Jace, and this kid, what were the two of you doing just now?"
Mosshull immediately questioned them.
"We"ve been chatting in the meditation room and didn"t do anything!" Princ.i.p.al Jace answered him truthfully.
After hearing this, Mosshull gave Princ.i.p.al Jace and Vincent a large amount of weight before turning around to leave.
After seeing this, Princ.i.p.al Jace could not help but ask, "What happened?"
Without turning his head, Mosshull replied, "There"s a spy in Flying Snow Castle. They"ve just destroyed the Bear King Bloodline Detector. This means that the Bear King is very likely to attack. I have to find that spy!"
After hearing Mosshull"s words, Vincent could not help but snicker in his heart. Princ.i.p.al Jace"s expression on the other hand became even more complicated.
It was just that they did not know the reason why Mosshull was so anxious. In fact, that spy was actually a member of the snow wolf tribe. This made him, the leader of the snow wolf tribe, extremely afraid. If Lord Gajero came back and investigated the matter, he would be in big trouble!
"Princ.i.p.al, I have nothing to do here. I will prepare for my departure!" said Vincent to the princ.i.p.al.
"Go!"
The princ.i.p.al nodded and agreed.
Vincent went to refill a large amount of food and medicament, as well as cold-proof clothes. After that, he left Flying Snow Castle and entered the endless Flying Snow Wilderness alone.
In the wilderness, besides white wind, there was white snow. Out of boredom, Vincent summoned Thunder.
Compared to before, Thunder had changed greatly. Its body was no longer an illusionary light ball. Instead, it had grown to about one meter and took the shape of a bear tribesman.
"Thunder, did you gain anything after absorbing the bloodline of the Bear King?"
Vincent asked Thunder out of curiosity as he looked at his powerful pet.
Thunder raised his head to look at Vincent, his bright eyes filled with desire.
"You!"
Vincent looked at Thunder in shock. In his eyes, he seemed to feel a strong thirst for knowledge, as well as a desire to communicate.
These needs were only found in creatures with high intelligence!
"Ding! Pet Thunder has evolved, activate the Intelligence Panel!"
At this time, the system"s voice sounded, causing Vincent to quickly open the pet panel to check.

After checking Thunder"s current condition, Vincent hurriedly said, "I didn"t expect you to grow so much just by absorbing a bloodline from your previous life. When we return, I will think of a way to help you absorb more bloodlines from your previous life. At that time, you will become the Bear King!"
Thunder blinked its eyes in confusion as if it still did not understand the meaning of Vincent"s words.
Vincent smiled helplessly and said, "Sooner or later, you will understand!"
At the same time, in Beast World, a huge uproar was silently brewing.
In War School, more than ten teachers led by Urgart handed in their resignations at the same time. They claimed that the world was so big and that they wanted to go take a look together.
After Princ.i.p.al Jace found out about it, he actually chose to approve their decision.
In the other three top schools, there were also many teachers who proposed to resign. They even took the initiative to bring along a batch of students with them.
The teachers and students who left the school quickly disappeared without a trace. No one could find their whereabouts.
Almost at the same time, the news of the Bear King"s return spread throughout the entire world. Countless forces recalled all their manpower overnight. They were waiting for the world to fall into chaos.
Meanwhile, in Flying Snow Castle, Mosshull dispatched the troops of the Beast Race in the name of Gajero. At the same time, he dispatched all the Bear King"s Bloodline Detectors devices to the Flying Snow Castle to search for the Bear King.
After watching the world fall into chaos, Vincent wandered in the Flying Snow Wilderness for a long time. He did not have a specific destination. Instead, he just stopped and looked around to check if there were any traces of human beings.
In the blink of an eye, one week had pa.s.sed. Vincent walked all the way from the periphery of the Flying Snow Wilderness to the deepest part of the Flying Snow Wilderness with Thunder. However, he did not find any useful clues.
On the way, Vincent deliberately looked for all the terrains that could be used to hide from the wind and snow and build a defense. Yet, he found nothing. Nevertheless, he did not lose hope.
Instead, he walked towards the deep part of the Flying Snow Wilderness with greater determination.
This was because he believed that his companions were all elites of the human race. Even if the environment was harsh, they could still survive!
So far, there was no trace of them, which meant that they must be hiding in a safer place!
