Chương 59: Source

"Whatever, He hides many secrets from me anyways, I might as well continue. I guess that It will be easier for me to continue now than before as I don't have to carry Brother Ku.." Zhu Long said as he looked towards the top of the hill. Even though the mist was blocking his view, Zhu Long knew that he still had a long way to get to the top. But at this time, another thought came into Zhu Long's mind,'When Brother Ku and I were travelling up this hill, We both had noticed that the aura was getting stronger.. Doesn't that mean that it will continue to get stronger the more we head up? I think that I can just follow the aura as it's strength increases. It might not let me get to the top, but it will be easier than trying to guess my path..'

After making that Decision. Zhu Long started to follow the aura and went the direction where the aura became gradually stronger. "It seems like My guess was in fact correct, It does feel like I am going upwards and this is a lot more convenient when thinking about time as I don't have to waste it, trying to figure out which path is upward.' Zhu Long felt a bit more happy as it was easier for him to cross the hill.

Half and Hour later, Zhu Long felt as if he was getting very close to the Source of the aura.``When I get to the source of the aura, I can just follow my previous tactic to eventually get to the top of the hill. Well looking around me, It looks more like a mountain than a hill, But i guess from outside appearance, People would think of it as a hill." Zhu Long said as he looked at his surroundings. Even if he couldn't see much, he could see that the ground was completely covered by snow and the occasional trees and plants he saw were also covered in the snow. But it didn't matter too much to Zhu Long as his body was strong enough to resist the cold enough to not bother him too much.

"Until now, it isn't cold enough to affect me too much but if the temperature continues to decrease, this will be a problem.." Zhu Long said as he continued to follow the aura. "Nevermind that, For now, I have a feeling that after some more meters, I will get to the source of the aura…. If I see it, I might be able to understand how the hallucinations worked as well as how the snow of the mountain was disguised so that it would look lin an ordinary hill." Zhu Long felt a bit more excited when he thought about seeing the source of everything mysterious on the mountain.

After a few hundred meters, Zhu Long felt aura get very strong, he was sure that the source was only a few meters. Zhu Long searched the area where the aura gave off a stronger feel. After a few minutes of searching, Zhu Long noticed a small hole in the ground, roughly the size of an average man. The hole was next to a large rock, which seemed to disguise the hole perfectly. "I wouldn't have been able to see this rock if I weren't looking for it so thoroughly.. Now there is another problem," Zhu Long said to himself as he walked closer to the hole. He crouched and tried to look inside the hole, trying to find something. "I don't think I have the freedom to search inside this hole for now.. I need to continue on my path to get to the Qiang Village Head's mansion and try to fix the problem in the Village. Maybe at a later time, when I am stronger will I be confident in going into this hole. It might be trapped and even be harmful to me… I guess I should continue.."
