Chapter 141: Carabidis Guardian



Chapter 141: Carabidis Guardian

It’s started raining heavily as Rex looks down on the cliff, he’s unsure whether he should check Carabidis Temple right now.

He came with confidence but now, he’s unsure whether to resume or not.

Rex’s mom told him once that if he’s undecided, he will have to trust his gut.

Right now, his gut is telling him to not go to the temple but it will be wasteful to not visit Carabidis Temple when it’s right in front of him.

‘Should I just peek inside?’, Rex thought.

After contemplating with himself for five minutes, he finally decided to check the temple out after buying a high transferral crystal from the system’s shop.

The crystal will be his escape route when things go bad, it will send him directly back to his room at Ochyra University.

It’s risky, but Rex plays the gamble.

Rex looks to his side and saw a way to go down the cliff without jumping, 

The fringes are steep, Rex needs to stick close to the wall while side walking like a crab to go down.

Raindrops wet the route making it slippery, ‘This is a bad idea’, Rex thought.

But even though he wants to go back, he’s already halfway through the fringes and it will be harder to climb back up with this terrain.

The dirt on the cliff walls becomes muddy, 

Rex turns his nail into claws as he stabs his claw into the cliff wall, there’s no other choice besides this to go down the cliff.

After carefully going down the fringes, Rex arrives just above the dark clouds.

The dark clouds are hovering just halfway through the cliff, it blocks all vision for Rex to see what is beneath the dark clouds.

‘If I jump and turns out it’s still far from the ground, I will die a stupid death’, Rex thought.

After deliberating with himself, Rex decided to just slide down using his claw to lessen the speed he’s falling in case something bad is down there.

“Hup!”

SWOOSH!

Rex falls down while holding onto the cliff wall with his claws, 

He goes through the dark clouds and can instantly feel his skin turns cold, it was a weird feeling but then suddenly,

“What’s this?”, Rex said as he can feel something prickling his skin.

Noticing the thing that prickling his skin was a bug, he instantly creates a force barrier around him to shield him from these bugs.

His vision is covered as he still falling down, he can’t see the bugs clearly.

After about forty seconds of falling, 

Rex finally penetrates through the dark clouds and the scenery that pops into his vision greatly shocked him, it was not what he expected at all.

In front of him lies Carabidis Temple that he searched for.

Unlike what he picture, the bottom of the cliff that is covered by the dark clouds turns out to be a dark desert with little to no light.

There’s a temple in the middle, it is square-shaped with two huge statues in front of it.

Carabidis Temple is an Egyptian-style temple with torches around it.

The temple is massive, it is even bigger than Faraday University’s building.

Rex gripped the cliff wall stopping himself from falling further, he looks to the ground and saw many creatures hovering around the temple.

“There are mutated animals here? It’s going to be troublesome”, Rex thought.

He saw many mutated animals from huge mutated camels with bones sticking out all over its body, 10 feet scorpions lurking around, and he even saw huge big cats that are hunting other mutated animals.

Rex scans all of the mutated animals and found that the big cats turn out to be powerful early rank five mutated animals!

After confirming the entrance of the temple, Rex jumped down.

Thud!

His fall was quiet as it makes no sound, 

Rex’s eyes dart left and right trying to avoid unnecessary fights, his objective is to scan the temple so that he knows what he’s dealing with.

There’s a couple of trees around him that he used to hide.

With his stealth abilities, Rex manages to go past the mutated animals even if they’re only rank three in power.

He can already see the temple’s entrance in front of him, but…

‘There are three big cats around here, they seem to be the top of the food chain here’, Rex thought as he didn’t see other stronger mutated animals.

The big cat’s fur is sand color with a bit of white on it, their front legs are way bigger and muscular than their backs, with green fangs sticking out of their mouths.

Green substance dripped from their fangs confirming that it is venomous.

One of the big cats ran after a mutated bighorn sheep, it turns into a sand storm before the big cat was transported in front of the mutated bighorn sheep.

Its movement was fast, it instantly slashed the bighorn sheep with its strong front legs.

SLASH!!!

BEEEK!!

The bighorn sheep whimper in pain, its chest was cut wide open revealing its inside before the bighorn sheep falls to the ground.

But just before the big cat wanted to eat them,

ROAR!!

A loud deafening roar can be heard from the temple’s entrance, it was overbearing and loud making the other mutated animals run in fright.

Rex also closed his ears because of how loud it is, he never feels such an overbearing presence.

From inside the temple’s entrance mouth, a creature dashed outside like a streak of lightning before it appeared beside the big cat.

Rex was surprised by its movement, he knows that he can’t hit that creature even if he wanted to.

After seeing the creature’s speed, Rex instantly put six attributable stats he got from leveling up into his agility stats.

He will need every speed he can get to fight that creature later.

The creature that came out of the temple’s entrance is a sand-colored snake.

The snake has two heads, one is the main head while the other is on the end of its tail. The snake also has wings that are massive and mighty, horns are sticking out of its main head that is curved inwards.

Looking at the snake, Rex immediately ducks down.

He already scans the snake and turns out it is a powerful mid-rank five mutated animal, Rex can’t fight against it right now lest he wanted to die.

The snake hisses at the big cat before it turns to the bighorn sheep.

Its two sharp eyes glow green before the wound on the bighorn sheep’s chest is healed, it is healing at a visible rate, and not long the bighorn sheep is already standing.

The snake then hisses making the big cat run away before it went back to the temple’s entrance.

Rex saw all of this happened in front of his eyes, ‘Why did the snake help the sheep? Aren’t they supposed to eat something?’, Rex thought.

After knowing the entrance is guarded by the two-headed snake, Rex decided to find another way.

He went to the left side of the temple that has no big cats, it’s a peaceful side with only rank three and early rank four mutated animals reside.

While Rex is sneaking to the side, he kept his eyes on the temple entrance.

But then, a mutated animal suddenly notices his presence and leaped towards him.

Grrr…!!

The mutated animal growl as Rex glance to his front, his alertness towards the temple’s entrance makes him careless to his other sides.

A mutated wolf appeared in front of him, it growls lightly as he looks at Rex.

Rex stretches his right hand in front of him, he tries to tell the wolf to not make any sound lest the snake came to them.

The wolf bared its fangs towards Rex, it looks at Rex cautiously as it circles around.

Rex becomes even more nervous, he already takes out the transferral crystal lest something went wrong right here.

But then,

Just when he’s about to give up calming the wolf, the wolf suddenly approaches his stretched right hand and started to sniff it.

It looks at Rex weirdly before Rex releases his dark red energy.

The dark red energy contains his Supernatural presence making the wolf jolted in shock, it started to step back unconsciously.

“It’s okay, I won’t hurt you”, Rex said while approaching the wolf slowly.

The wolf seems hesitant to approach Rex but it finally decided to sniff Rex’s hand before Rex slowly pats below the wolf’s muzzle.

Rex pats the wolf a couple of times before the wolf’s whimper.

Rex can feel some connection between him and the wolf, ‘Is this because I’m a werewolf? In a way, I am a higher rank animal than this wolf’, Rex thought.

After calming down the wolf, 

He then talks to the wolf as if the wolf understands him, “Do you know another entrance beside the main entrance?”

Looking at Rex talking, the wolf tilts its head in confusion.

Rex looks around trying to think of something before he mimics the two-headed snake before, “That two-headed snake, strong! I can’t go in there”

He moves his body trying to make the wolf understand, he looks dumb if another person saw him talking to the wolf.

Just after he wanted to give up, the wolf’s eyes lit up before it ran to his back.

Looking at this, Rex immediately follows the wolf.

The wolf surprisingly leads Rex to another entrance, it is a small crack on the temple that can lead instantly inside.

Rex pats the wolf’s head before he went inside.

“Don’t follow me, wait here okay?”, Rex said telling the wolf to not follow him.

After making sure the wolf is guarding the small crack, Rex then ventures inside the temple that is darker than the outside.

It was so dark but thankfully Rex can still see thanks to his night vision ability.

Just as he entered the temple,

<The user have entered Carabidis Temple>

<Sudden Quest>

Kill three Carabidis Guardians and obtain their cores to open a passageway to the Carabidis Exchequer, the user will also get a bonus reward if the user completes this Sudden Quest first before the Pack Quest.

Reading this, ‘Carabidis Guardians huh, they sound strong’, Rex thought.

He then resumes his ventures ignoring the quest, he’s here to scout the place first before he decided when to tackle this quest depending on how powerful the creature inside this.

Especially this Carabidis Guardians the system speak of.

The inside of the temple is filled with writings, it’s filled with weird symbols that Rex completely didn’t understand.

Rex looks around and saw that the path is confusing.

It’s like a maze inside of here, there are not many things that can differentiate each different path from one another.

After walking randomly inside the temple, Rex saw a light from the corner of his eyes.

‘A light? Where did it come from’, Rex thought.

He then turns to his left and started to follow the light.

The light bounced from a mirror-like thing on the top corner of the path, Rex follows this light in the hope to locate the Carabidis Gem that the quest asks for.

Rex then arrives in front of a gate that is opened a little.

The gate is massive and there’s a weird huge symbol in the center of the gate, it is a wind-shaped symbol.

Rex shrugs off the sand that manages to get inside his shoe before he looks through the gate.

There he saw a creature lying idly on some kind of stage.

The creature’s lower half of body is made of sand while the top half of its body is humanoid, it was giving off a very threatening aura even though it seems like it’s sleeping.

Rex scans the creature before his eyes widened in shock.

The sand creature turns out to be a rank six creature! It is more powerful than what Rex has anticipated.

‘That must be one of the guardians, it will be a long time before I come back’, Rex thought.

From the guardian alone, Rex will need time before he will be able to fight it.

After seeing the guardian,

Rex wanted to leave but then suddenly, he saw two red eyes staring at him from the corner of his eyes.

His body went stiff as he realizes the creature is looking at him.

Sand brush against his body as he can feel the creature’s eyes locked onto him, without even wasting a second he immediately crushed the transferral crystal on his hand.

CRASH!

Rex’s body immediately got teleported to his room in Ochyra University.

Although he’s safe, he can still feel the creature’s eyes looking at him as his body got drenched in sweat.

‘I almost died!’
