The Arcane God - Chapter 77

Chapter 77: Journey to the Immortal Cave [I]
Inside the Great Dark Forest, the light of sun had become gentler after passing through the tall canopy. It shone on the lush moss and exotic flowers and plants that could be seen everywhere on the ground, showing a soft and hazy beauty.

Inside and outside the forest, there were huge ancient trees with a height of dozens of feet. Walking in this dark jungle made people feel extremely small.

After half a year away from this place, Oscar finally stepped back onto the land that he had been walking for more than eight years.

At the beginning of the new semester, Oberon told his other four students about this secret training camp. Everyone had no objection to winning glory for the branch in the competition. Especially when they heard that the destination of this training camp was in Oscar’s hometown, everyone had a sense of excitement to go out and explore.

Oberon didn’t tell everyone about Immortal Cave in advance, for fear that the destination would become known to others, causing trouble for them on the way.

Along the way, everyone hastened during the day and practiced at night.

But for Oberon, Oscar, and Lester, who couldn’t refine at night, just relying on absorbing the essence of the celestial magic worm was much faster than refining on their own.

After more than a month of traveling, the group of six finally came to Oscar’s hometown. Although things had changed, but after Oscar returned to the dark forest, he still felt a sense of intimacy of being at home.

Gradually, as they got closer to the site of the Birch tribe. Oscar’s mood also began to become heavier, as he walked, picking wild flowers in full bloom.

Everyone also knew what happened to the Birch tribe. Seeing that Oscar was picking wild flowers, they also picked a bunch of them.

Soon, Oscar came to a dirt slope and stopped.

Everyone followed behind him, looking at an open valley ahead.

They saw that the valley area was very large, and there were more than ten big trees scattered on the ground. One side of the valley was a grassland, and the other side was the entrance to the forest. And on the slope where Oscar and the others were standing, there was a collapsed stone house.

Oscar looked at everything in front of him with a sad expression. It seemed that he was recalling people and things in the past, and his eyes were a little wet.

Oberon walked to Oscar and asked softly, “Oscar, what is this place?”

“Home, master. My home.” Oscar replied with trembling voice. Then he walked to a small mound protruding in front of the slope with wild flowers in hand, placed the flowers gently in front of the mound, took two steps back, and fell to his knees, tears streaming down his face. “Father and mother, sister, I’m so sorry.”

Seeing this, everyone knew that this was the grave of Oscar’s parents and sister, and they also placed flowers in front of the grave, and stood in a row behind Oscar.

Standing in front of the grave, Oberon said bitterly: “My apprentice, I’m here to pay you my respect. I didn’t expect the goodbye of more than ten years ago to become a permanent goodbye!”

Then, the dual mage walked to the stone wall in the distance, and manifested his essence crystals. The seven crystals lit up, turned into a giant axe, and slashed towards the stone wall. A neat and smooth huge stone slab was quickly cut out by the giant axe.

Oberon recited a magical spell, and the slab inserted itself in front of the grave, and he magically engraved words on it: Kai, the Chieftain of the Birch tribe, Kiara, the chieftess of the tribe, and their daughter Shesara.

“Thank you, master!”.After the tombstone was carved, Oscar gave Oberon a deep bow and said. Then he stared at the valley where he once lived, turned around and said. “We should get going, master.”

“Okay, let’s go!”

Then they strode towards the direction of Immortal Cave.

An hour later, the roar of a huge waterfall came from the woods ahead.

“Wow, it’s a waterfall!” Maya jumped up three times and ran to the front! For her, waterfalls were very rare sights.

Oscar quickly reminded. “Be careful, Maya, there is a cliff ahead!”

Soon, a cliff more than one hundred meters high appeared at the feet of everyone. In front of the cliff, a huge waterfall poured down, and under the illumination of the blazing star, it shone like a silver chain descending down.

Oscar whispered to Oberon. “Master, we’re here. The cave is in this pool.”

Oberon looked at the sun, which was sloping westward, and whispered, “We are in no hurry. Let’s go down to have a rest first, and then go in at dawn.”

After speaking, the group of six people found their way to the edge of the pool under the waterfall. They saw that the water pool was very wide, the size of three or four arenas. The water in the pool was smashed by the waterfall, and the sound of the water rumbled.

Oberon said to the students: “Tonight, we will rest here, and we will get up early tomorrow and go on our way.”

When the students heard this, they immediately shouted in agreement.

Zachar was the first to toss his clothes, and plunged into the pool with only his knickers left, enjoying himself while swimming.

Yara was not idle either, aiming at the fat head of Zachar with a pebble from the shore as practice. The frightened Zachar dived to the bottom of the water for a long time and did not dare to come up.

After a while, a huge lotus leaf floated up from the water, and then Zachar’s head popped out from under the lotus leaf. He grimaced at Yara and shouted. “Damn you, Yara. You want to fight?”

Angrily, Yara picked up a large stone, lit it on fire and throw it towards Zachar’s head.
