Upon hearing the term "prodigy," Nith’s expression changed slightly.
He coldly said, "I’ve long heard that human prodigies are very formidable and can even challenge those people above their level. I’ve always wanted to fight them. If I meet them, I must have a battle!"
His words were filled with killing intent.
"Nith is so powerful that human prodigies will surely be no match for him," one of his devil companions said flatteringly.
"Whether they’re a match or not, we’ll know when we encounter them," Nith said coldly, showing no excitement or loss of reason despite his companions’ flattery and praise.
"The traces of the battle here are complex. There were traces of both swords and blades. The person who used the sword seems to be not very strong, but the one who used the blade was quite powerful."
After observing the traces left at the scene, Nith drew this conclusion.
"How do you know the one who used the blade was powerful?" everyone asked, puzzled.
They only saw more signs of destruction from the Black Crested Gorilla and found it difficult to discern any combat traces, let alone judge the opponent’s strength.
Seeing this, everyone admired Nith even more.
This was a prodigy—truly different from them.
"The traces left by the sword are relatively shallow and chaotic, indicating they were from a novice human cultivator. On the other hand, the traces from the blade are extremely precise, almost never missing, and have immense destructive power."
Nith looked at the traces with a serious expression.
It was the first time everyone had seen Nith so earnest and solemn.
They exchanged glances, realizing that this time, there was indeed a formidable prodigy among the humans.
"If Erod is dead, the disappearance of the Black Crested Gorilla must also be related to this person," Nith continued.
Everyone’s expressions changed.
"Are you saying that the Black Crested Gorilla, at the peak of the Golden Core stage, has already been killed by this person?"
Nith replied seriously, "It’s highly likely. Most of the bloodstains here are from the Black Crested Gorilla."
"But we haven’t seen the corpse of the Black Crested Gorilla. Could it have escaped?"
"Yes, the corpse of the Black Crested Gorilla must be at least ten or more meters long. It would be difficult to move such a large body."
The idea of moving such a massive corpse, requiring a substantial storage space, was quickly dismissed.
They couldn’t believe that a human cultivator could be so formidable, which wasn’t good news for them.
Nith’s eyes were deep and solemn, "How do you explain the disappearance of the spiritual vein? The Black Crested Gorilla wouldn’t have moved it on its own."
"The traces here are messy, but it’s still evident that there have been several waves of battles. It’s possible that before the Black Crested Gorilla arrived, someone had already taken the spiritual vein. Later, the Black Crested Gorilla discovered this, and from the traces, it seems there was also a powerful demonic beast that fought with someone, and that demonic beast was killed..."
Nith also noticed these signs.
Due to the destruction of the terrain, they could only make vague guesses and couldn’t pinpoint the specific details.
Anything was possible.
Given this, Nith couldn’t be certain, as they hadn’t found the traces that was strong enough to have killed the Black Crested Gorilla.
What these devils didn’t know was that the corpse destruction was instructed by Amalia to Kenny Lin.
The purpose was to create confusion and prevent anyone from guessing the specific events.
Even if Ajit Wan discovered something was wrong with Kenny Lin later, they would have an explanation.
"That’s enough for now. Let me down. Even if someone follows us, they won’t know which direction we went."
Amalia said as she saw the Spiritual Pool Ravine growing farther away and patted Kenny Lin, who was insisting on carrying her.
"That won’t do. There are still many devils nearby. If your spiritual energy is depleted and you’re injured, what if all the devils come to besiege us? I can only take care of myself and not you," Kenny Lin insisted, refusing to let Amalia down.
He continued carrying her until the Spiritual Pool Ravine was out of sight, and it would be impossible for anyone to catch up.
Amalia again requested to be let down, "I can walk on my own."
"No, I’m carrying you so you can continue to rest. Once we find a safe place, you might recover your spiritual energy, and then it will be easier to heal your injuries," Kenny Lin said.
Immediately there is a sudden smack sound.
Amalia struck his head sharply, her voice tinged with threat, "Let me down!"
Kenny Lin felt regretful.
How had she noticed so soon?
He wanted to carry her a little longer, but since Amalia was already angry, he couldn’t insist any further; otherwise, the next time might not just be a smack on the head.
As he felt Kenny Lin loosen his grip, Amalia quickly jumped down from his back.
Turning around, she saw him massaging his hands, with a look of nostalgia on his face, which darkened her expression.
"What are you doing?" Amalia wanted to kick him.
"Nothing much," Kenny Lin said, putting his hands behind his back.
He was still savoring the memory, as the soft and round butt of a loved one was quite exceptional.
Amalia didn’t want to discuss it further.
She had a premonition that if she pursued the matter, he would likely say things she didn’t want to hear.
"Why is that Crystal-Eyed Mink still following us?"
Amalia looked back at the small Crystal-Eyed Mink that had guided them to the Spiritual Pool.
It had been following them ever since they left the Spiritual Pool.
From her understanding of Kenny Lin, if he really wanted to shake off the small demonic beast, he would be able to do so without difficulty.
Kenny Lin glanced back and saw the tiny Crystal-Eyed Mink hiding behind a tree as soon as it realized they were looking at it.
