In order to become a Heroic Spirit, I had no choice but to cause trouble in history.

Aga stood up from the ground, then froze in place.

"......sister?"

......

“Traces from rainy days are not easily preserved, so we can only rely on our own searching. Miya, please.” The group was all in a serious, hunting-only state.

“Leave it to me.” Kimia’s sense of smell was extremely keen. He sniffed, trying to detect the wild animal scents mixed in with the air and rain.

Ou Shen, on the other hand, sensed the magic in the air. Powerful magical beasts all preferred areas rich in magic, and no magical beast was an exception.

but......

"Rain really does affect our senses a lot; the scent of wild animals is incredibly faint..." Kiyama pinched her nose, a hint of distress on her face.

"The magic in the air is also compressed by the rain, making its concentration strange." Oshin frowned, picking up a handful of soil from the ground. "Even the magic on the surface is completely broken..."

“This is the rainy season in Atlantis…” Lemoni sighed, leaning his golden spear aside. “Although the forest in the rain is a beautiful sight, if it interferes with important matters, all that’s left is anxiety.”

Ruslan walked over to a tree and noticed some...details.

This is......

"Oshin, come here for a second." Luslan beckoned to Oshin.

"what happened?"

“Look here, on the tree bark.”

Luslan pointed to the marks on the tree trunk.

“This is…” Ou Shen gently stroked the damp tree trunk, looking at the slightly dark bark, “Scorched marks?”

"Oh! Looks like we've arrived at our destination!" Kiyaya chuckled.

“These past few days I’ve asked Rashtanaha to make some training stakes from the necrotic ends of his limbs. The tree should be the same species as Rashtanaha, so... the burn marks are almost identical.”

He peeled off a small piece of bark and showed it to the group: "Although the color difference isn't significant, it's actually—"

Click.

With a slight effort, Ruslan shattered the bark into a crumb.

"It's already completely dead."

“Is that so… It seems that at least we’re heading in the right direction.” O’Shing looked at Lemoni. “Lemoni, I’m counting on you.”

Chapter 575 A Question from My Sister

"Aga, what are you doing?" Elma moved closer to Aga.

"Sis, I was just exercising." Although Aga didn't know what she had done wrong, she felt inexplicably guilty.

“…” Alma stopped in her tracks.

She pointed behind her, to the branches and roots of Rashtanaha that had not yet closed up.

"You call this exercise?"

"Isn't this exercise?" Aga asked, puzzled.

An eerie silence fell over the air.

Alma suddenly grabbed her brother's shoulder: "Aga, tell me, were you coerced by Oshin and his gang?"

Aga: ? ? ?

"Sis, you know what? Sometimes, I feel like your thought process is even more bizarre than a chimera's." Aga looked at his sister with a serious expression.

Alma: It's hardened, its fists are hardened.

Rashtanaha's voice appeared just in time, stopping Alma's punch.

"This is really exercise, Ruslan is using this method right now."

"Yeah, sis, put your fist down and talk to me properly. Violence won't solve anything." Aga looked at the fist hovering above his skull, cold sweat pouring down his face.

Alma did indeed pull her fist back.

Aga breathed a sigh of relief. As long as there was no violence, everything was negotiable. He continued to explain, "Oshen, Lemoni, and Jimia have much better innate conditions than Luslango."

Aga sat on the ground, but a layer of loss called empathy involuntarily clouded his eyes.

“Luclan is just like me... a simple human being. In order to catch up with Oshin and the others, he chose to endure this kind of extreme training.”

"how about you?"

“…Huh?” Aga looked up in surprise at Alma.

The casualness and concern on Alma's face had vanished without a trace.

Only coldness and seriousness.

"What are you training for?" Alma questioned.

“I…” Agah was speechless.

Beneath the sacred tree in the rain, the silence was so profound you could hear a pin drop.

......

Lemoni enhanced his legs with magic, traversing swiftly through the rain-soaked forest. His pupils, stimulated by the magic, emitted a bright yellow light, streaking across the forest like shooting stars.

"There isn't any here either..." A few drops of sweat trickled down his forehead.

His speed was extremely fast, and his exploration speed was naturally fast as well.

In half an hour, he had searched a fairly large area, but hadn't even caught a glimpse of the Chimera.

"My magic is almost gone... Let's go back first." With a sigh, he turned the golden spear upside down, an explosion rang out, and Lemoni ran back towards the direction of Ocean and the others.

He used the explosion of the golden spear as a propulsion device.

Jimia remained in place to keep watch.

He looked at the darkening sky and smacked his lips: "It's getting dark soon."

It was already noon when the group arrived in the jungle. They explored together for a while in the afternoon, and then split up to explore separately for a while, but they didn't even find a single chimera feather. It was already getting dark.

Half an hour later, everyone returned.

"Any discoveries?" Ocean asked, looking at Ruslan and Lemoni.

The two of them shook their heads together.

"Does that chimera just like to breathe fire for fun?" Ruslan's forehead veins throbbed. "This area is so big, almost every tree has been burned, and there are hardly any bushes. This area is too big. Is it just spewing fire for fun because it's too full?"

“I haven’t found anything on my end either.” Lemoni frowned and shook his head.

"This is really bad... I'm in the same boat over there." Ou Shen bit his fingernails.

Rainy days are terrifyingly destructive to perception, especially a downpour like this. Ou Shen's perception magic is still somewhat intact, but Jimiya's perception is practically zero.

“In short, let’s find a place to spend the night first,” Ocean sighed. “Early mornings are when wild animals hunt for food, and we can start looking again then.”

The group found a very thick tree. Lemoni detonated his golden spear, blasting a hole in the tree. The group crawled inside and squeezed in.

Looks like I'm destined to have a restless night.

......

Aga sat at the foot of a tree in Lashtanah, looking at the shattered sea, his ears filled with noise.

He was recalling what had happened here that afternoon.

"If you go with Ou Shen and his group, you're just going to your death."

"Even someone of Ruslan's caliber can't keep up. What use would you be in their team!"

"Why can't you ever understand what I'm saying? Why did you even have such an idea!"

"Aga, you will die, you will die! You are no match for those magical beasts!"

"Sister, please, Aga, please stop thinking about these things."

Well, seeing Alma sobbing uncontrollably, Aga neither answered Alma's question nor returned to the tavern.

That being said, when did I start to yearn for the lifestyle of Ou Shen and his friends?

Perhaps once you've witnessed that kind of power and cheers, you'll never want to go back to a boring, ordinary life.

but......

My sister's words echoed in my ears again.

"Aga, you're my only family member left. You're all I have left."

"hateful!!!"

Aga suddenly stood up and kicked the air.

Rashtanaha sighed.

Faced with a choice between family and dreams...?

Aga took a running start and sprinted towards the sea, releasing his wooden boat as he ran.

He landed on his wooden boat, grabbed the rudder, and unleashed his magic.

Aga channeled all his magic into the ship, but he didn't stop. Instead, he continued to squeeze the magic from his very bones and roared loudly.

Alma, who arrived just in time, saw the ships speeding across the sea in the rain and her brother's heart-wrenching screams, and felt as if her own heart was being torn apart.

However, she really didn't want Aga to get involved with Ou Shen and his group.

She knew Aga's strength all too well. Let alone a monster like the white chimera, even an ordinary chimera would be extremely difficult to hunt.

How could someone like Aga possibly compare to a hero like Ocean?

After more than ten minutes, when the magic circuits began to hurt, Aga finally stopped his ship and stepped ashore.

But the first thing he saw was his older sister, standing on the beach, calmly looking at him.

"Sister, what's wrong?" Aga glanced at the sky; it had been dark for quite some time.
