“I’m 100% sure you’ve wronged me! I’m still a virgin!” Chu Nan protested. He then realized that being a virgin in his early twenties was not a glorious thing, and so, he decisively shut his mouth. At the same time, he doubted that those poor druids who used animal skins as their clothing could come up with adequate compensation as an apology.
Several pieces of worthless stones? Or perhaps several wolf teeth? Or pieces of rotten hide?
Chu Nan shook his head and stopped thinking about what those poor villagers could offer him. Leaving the forest was the most important task, and if he continued to linger around, his ability to communicate would probably decline since he had nobody to talk to.
“Then, could you please keep this…” Even after pondering for half a day, Jack had no idea what he should call the tube in Chu Nan’s hand, and he straightforwardly said, “Please keep your steel tube.”
“Keep my steel tube?” Chu Nan warily looked at Jack and the Fiery Fox ring on his finger. With that as his last defense, he put the weapon away temporarily as a friendly gesture.
With a slight tap on the embedded spatial bracelet on his wrist, Chu Nan put Sara Jane away as the expressions of the dozens of druids turned to astonishment.
When he sensed that they were staring at him, confusion surfaced in his eyes. “What’s wrong?”
“You… you…” Jack’s eyes seemed as though they would pop out. He swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva in a row before he said in a stutter, “What you opened just a moment ago… was that an artifact from the rumors, the spatial bracelet?”
Rumors? Chu Nan furrowed his brows and thought, It’s a spatial bracelet, but I’m not sure if it’s an artifact.
The dozens of druids felt flabbergasted! It’s a spatial bracelet! Regardless of its size, all spatial bracelets are considered artifacts in this continent! This is because it’s an item only gods can make!
Jack suddenly shivered.
An artifact! Rumor has it, every one of them possessed a noble soul, and only a true expert could obtain an artifact’s recognition and be qualified to use it! Ordinary people wouldn’t even have the qualification to touch it.
Yet, not only was that man capable of touching one, but he could also use the artifact with ease. Could it be that he was a hidden expert?
According to the rumors, a true expert could conceal their strength, and ordinary martial artists would be unable to perceive any aura from them.
As a descendant of the Druid God, every one of them possessed perception abilities that far surpassed humans. Jack had always been confident in his abilities, but at that moment, he began to doubt his perception abilities.
Is it because I’m not strong enough that I can’t feel any power from him?
Jack’s eyes suddenly twitched, and fear rapidly burrowed into his heart. What if they had attacked earlier? In that case, they might have been eliminated!
He’s an expert! It is highly likey that this human who possesses the bloodline of elves is an expert! Otherwise, he would not have so easily put away his magic weapon.
The same thought rapidly surfaced in the minds of the other druids.
Catherine also started to feel doubtful toward Chu Nan. She was seriously injured during her escape, and it would have been impossible to recover unless she had recuperated for at least a month.
How did that man heal all of her wounds in such a short amount of time?
*Rustle* Chu Nan suddenly heard movement as a grey wolf by Jack’s side revealed its sharp teeth and pounced toward him. Its target was his throat.
*Whoosh* A ball of red light converged on Chu Nan’s fingertips.
“Fireball!”
That magic attack was Chu Nan’s only survival method in this forest, and it had already become instinctive for him to release it when he felt threatened.
The druids had not expected Chu Nan would launch an attack against the wolf using magic. The wolf that was struck by the fireball was set on fire and ended up as a burnt corpse in a matter of seconds.
A faint warm current flowed through Chu Nan’s body and merged with the earlier strong current, forming a much more powerful current.
“Why? Is this how druids express their goodwill?” Chu Nan pretended to be calm and looked at Jack. In reality, his heart had nearly leaped out of his mouth because of the tension, and if all of the wolves had attacked at the same time, he would’ve already lost his life.
Instant magic attack? The eyes of the druids were about to pop out from their eye sockets; however, they did not notice that the ring on his finger had released a faint red glow the moment he released the fireball.
*Gulp* Jack gulped and secretly rejoiced over the fact that he had not attacked earlier.
It’s an instant magic attack! Even if it was the lowest level of instant magic, it was a skill that only a mage at level 1 of the Human Realm could cast at the bare minimum!
Jack was more or less sure that this human who possessed an elvish bloodline was a hidden expert, due to his ability to instantly cast magic as well as owning a spatial bracelet.
The other druids had the same thought as Jack. Children of mixed bloodlines would often inherit the flaws of both races and become trash without any potential. However, there were also rare cases where the children inherited the strong points of their parents’ races, and they were often called geniuses.
For mixed races with the elvish bloodline, it was normal to possess powerful magic perception beyond ordinary people.
It must be so! Otherwise, how could a young man possess the strength of a level 5 Human Realm mage!
Why did he come to the Heaven Forest? To train himself, or to improve his magic or fighting abilities?
“You are… an expert?” Jack tried to probe him.
Chu Nan had also noticed the change in their expressions, but he could not figure out what they were thinking. Sweeping his gaze over the dozens of grey wolves ready to attack, he tried his best to reveal an indiscernible smile and said, “Can we leave now?”
