Chapter 142: Chapter 142: Dark Solar Vein

"Intuition." Gu Jin said.

In her heart though she was rolling her eyes.

That beast though dangerous, if Gu Jin wanted she could run away from him. In such situations where she could protect herself, the space is always available to enter.

...........

In Long Yifan’s Mansion.

"Master we got the signal!" The head butler shouted with excitement.

Long Yifan paused and relaxed a bit.

Thank god he didn’t take any action.

He never felt that 13 hours could be this long!

So Gu Jin didn’t betray him in the end.

Long Yifan heaved a sigh of relief.

"Oh! The signal went away again!" The head butler exclaimed.

Long Yifan: "..." Why do I feel that my head butler is too dramatic?

The head butler realized that his reaction was too strong and said in an apologetic voice,

"I am sorry master...I...was stressed..."

Long Yifan waved his hand and said,

"Don’t worry. She promised to return by today. Even if she doesn’t return today, let’s wait till tomorrow. And don’t keep staring at the signal..."

His words were interrupted by the head butler’s phone ringtone.

The head butler took out his phone after saying ’excuse me’ and when he saw the caller’s name he was excited,

"Master, Miss Gu called!"

Long Yifan: "..."

He didn’t answer and continued to eat his food in an elegant manner.

However, if the head butler had seen Long Yifan carefully, he would have noticed that Long Yifan was biting the food too harshly.

However, the head butler who was immersed in the joy of getting the signal back didn’t notice it and picked up the call,

"Hello? Miss Gu? Where were you for the past 13 hours? Huh? Yes, only 13 hours have passed but...Huh? Hello?"

The head butler looked at the phone and realized that Gu Jin had hung up the call.

When he thought about Gu Jin’s tone he realized that 13 hours was indeed not a long time, yet he started to doubt Gu Jin the moment she disappeared.

He can’t be blamed though, Long Yifan’s previous enemy and the current enemy had taught him that if anything was amiss, they should react quickly otherwise they would be done for!

"But why did she sound so confused?" The head butler muttered.

Long Yifan’s eyes flashed.

If he wasn’t wrong then Gu Jin might have entered some spatial rift or spatial array, because of which she didn’t have a sense of time and her signal was lost.

......

Gu Jin was shocked.

No to be precise she was speechless.

How could the 2 years she spent on that island could equate to the 13 hours?

After some rough calculations, Gu Jin realized that 1 minute on Magic World was equal to 1 day on that island.

Her luck wasn’t that bad. Gu Jin thought in her mind.

"Master that place was truly good, not to mention you have gained so much from that place!" The space exclaimed in delight.

Gu Jin nodded.

"Anyways, let’s make a strategy and leave this place first."

"The Dark Solar Vein..." The space didn’t finish his words but Gu Jin understood its meaning and said,

"Don’t worry, that Dark Solar Vein is mine!"

Gu Jin wouldn’t let any natural resources go in vain!

What a joke, with another element in her mana space, she could see her wallet crying.

Not to mention, she has a little beast, whom she has to sponsor.

Indirectly...she could forget her dream of getting rich just by alchemy.

No kidding! She needs a Fire Mystic Seed(10 million), 2 Fire Solar Veins (one for her dark fire and one for her normal fire element, which will account for 200 to 250 million), and some resources to go through from intermediate rank to advance rank for plant element, which will roughly account for another 600 to 700 million.

Almost 1 billion is needed.

How could Gu Jin have the time to be generous and leave those resources to other people?

Not to mention other people have 3 elements when they are at Super Mage Rank, while she is only at intermediate rank!

Gu Jin knows that she should be happy. Of course, she would have been happy with such a powerful body that could awaken an element at any random time if only she was a wealthy heiress with unlimited money and resources.

For a poor person like her, who was barely able to support her two elements, the third element was just like a curse!

Gu Jin suddenly asked,

"Why do I awaken a Fire Element? Didn’t that Justice Department of Magic Council member say that a person could awaken a new element at every 2 levels?"

Gu Jin was curious about this question for a long time, but due to the situation before she didn’t dare to slack.

Now?

Well, she has a lot of time!

However, no one answered her and Gu Jin only temporarily gave up.

She started to make a strategy to defeat the strange beast she had seen before.

..........

Outside the space.

"Grrr....Gr....Grrrr." The strange beast growled at the place where Gu Jin was before.

After circling around for a long time, it didn’t see Gu Jin and finally left.

By the time Gu Jin came out, the beast had already reached a certain distance from Gu Jin.

After looking around and confirming that there was no one present, Gu Jin asked,

"Where is that Dark Solar Vein?"

"In the left direction!" The space replied.

Gu Jin moved towards her left and after walking ten steps she met her first opponent.

It was a dark beast Gu Jin had read about.

The body was similar to that of a lizard, except it was entirely black and its head was that of a lion. The beast didn’t have any tale.

It was a Soul Class beast.

Soul Class beast needs people above Intermediate Rank to be defeated but Gu Jin who was at intermediate rank, still decided to try.

Since there was no one in the forest, Gu Jin decided to use her dark fire element.

"Fire Fist!"

The flames erupted on contact, consuming the beast in an inferno of dark fire. The lizard-lion hybrid roared in agony as the flames ate through its tough exterior.

As a result within one move, Gu Jin was able to deal with that dark beast.

Looking at the dead dark beast, Gu Jin narrowed her eyes and asked the space,

"Could you check what place it is?"

Dark Beasts usually aren’t present in the normal forest, they have their own place to reside in.

Why would a dark beast of Soul Class suddenly jump in front of her?

"Master, I have a piece of good news and bad news, what do you want to hear first?" The space said in a polite voice.

Gu Jin held her forehead and said,

"Bad."

"We have entered the Evergloom Forest."

Gu Jin almost wanted to faint.

Just before she was praising her luck and now she wanted nothing more than to shout at her luck.

If her luck was a person, she would have beaten it, till it was improved.

Zhang Wei had warned her to not enter the Evergloom forest and spatial rift. And within a day she entered both of them!

Next time she would ask Zhang Wei to say everything in advance. At least 20 hours prior, maybe then she wouldn’t face all the worst things!

Gu Jin was lamenting about her luck when suddenly she heard a rustling sound and she asked the space,

"What was the good news?"

"There are many dark beasts, on whom you could practice!" The space said in a forced cheerful voice.

"Huh?" Gu Jin was confused and just then she saw a bunch of lizard-lion hybrid dark beasts coming out from the black bushes nearby.

Gu Jin laughed.

Her destiny is truly something.

The space was a bit scared when it heard Gu Jin’s laughter. For a moment it even thought that Gu Jin was laughing like a psychopath!

Gu Jin unaware of the space’s thought, couldn’t continue to laugh for long, because the next second the Lizard-Lion hybrids started to attack her.

She assessed the number of lizard-lion hybrids surrounding her. There were at least a dozen, each one snarling and preparing to pounce. Her instincts kicked in, and she drew on her dark fire element, her hands glowing with the eerie black and purple flames.

"Alright, let’s get this over with," she muttered to herself.

The first beast lunged at her, and she met it with a swift "Fire Fist," sending it crashing to the ground.

Another beast attacked from the side, but Gu Jin was ready, spinning and releasing a stream of dark fire that incinerated it mid-leap.

She moved with precision and grace, each motion calculated and deadly.

Despite their numbers, the beasts were no match for her.

She dodged and weaved through their attacks, countering with powerful blasts of fire. Within minutes, the ground around her was littered with the charred remains of the dark beasts.
