Pulling along Zuroc's barely intact body, Seth left the man's tent and moved a little more around the camp, wanting to see if he could find answers to his questions.
Zuroc had talked about explosion and poison, yet Seth found it hard to believe that just the self-destruction of a beast could wipe out an entire camp.
"Or am I just underestimating the power of beast self-destruction" Seth mused.
Back when he had been conversing with the snake beast, he had ordered it to do anything possible to kill everyone in the camp, and seeing as so far he couldn't find the beast's body, Seth guessed that it was the snake that self-destructed.
A little bit more Search and Seth couldn't help but frown, assuming Zuroc's words were the truth, then by all rights, he should have come across a crater created by the explosion of the beast by now.
Beasts on their own were walking junks of qi, so an explosion created by their self-destruction, especially one as high level as the snake was meant to be really powerful and eye-catching.

Carrying Zuroc's body with him, Seth walked till he was at the edge of the camp, but Just as he was about to leave it and cross into the forest, his eyes came across a huge fleshy tapering end of what could only be a tail, and he was hit with a thought that had him turning back to stare at the camp as a whole.
Taking in the whole image at once, Seth's eyes caught on to the fact that the top of the trees that were close to the camp were all blown off, and with this in mind, and the tail which definably belonged to the snake in mind, he concluded that the beast had blown itself while being in the air.
A conclusion that left Seth squinting brows as he wondered what set of events could have led to such an ending.
...
It had been over an hour since Seth defeated Zuroc and at this time, he had carried the man's corpse a good distance away from the camp, and then after finding a suitable spot, he had taken a rest and then decided to go about checking his spoils.
That he had a space ring on was one of the reasons that Seth hadn't dumped the man's body into his space ring,
Seth spent up to 10 minutes trying to get past the space ring security, and with the help of the enlightenment sphere, he was just about done breaking into the ring.
A few minutes later and Seth had a bunch of stuff, dropping in front of me, a thick aura of bloodlust emanating from some of them.
A groan of frustration left Seth as he lamented his inability to easily check the space ring without going throw the hassle of throwing everything out of it, but in the end, he could only shake his head and began going through the things around him.
As a commander, Zuroc was bound to carry around a bunch of resources, yet Seth still found himself shocked when he saw the Scrolls, qi stones, weapons, and several other things that lay before him.
Seth began sifting through the stuff around, but in no time, two of the items around immediately caught his interest, a red eerily familiar scroll and a blood-red one that gave him chills.
He opened and poured his qi into the familiar, and a few seconds later a complicated expression climbed on his face as he could only let out a wry smile.
With gusto, he checked some of the other scrolls, a smile gradually climbing onto his face, but as much as he wanted to explore his unexpected harvest, now was not the place, so he packed back everything into his two space rings.
When Seth was done, he looked at Zuroc's body, unable to stop praising the man for his generosity.
….
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSometime later, Seth sat on a log as was staring at a low burning campfire, a piece of flesh in his hands which he quietly bit into.
For Seth, finding a meal in the forest was buy a call away, and since he couldn't eat the flesh of the huge beast which were a distance away due to them being poisoned, he could only manage with the unfortunate lower-ranked beasts around.
As he went about his meal, Seth couldn't help but think about his earlier battle with Zuroc.
Despite the man also being a level 9mortal cultivator, Seth had found himself struggling with all his might to defeat him and almost lost his life in the process.
Edwin, Adriana, Irene, and many others were all also level 9 mortal cultivators, yet he didn't even consider them worthy opponents.
This last battle of his helped to remind him of the fact that he wasn't the only genius or blessed one in the world and that most importantly he was but from an underdeveloped world.
He was from a world that stood at the bottom of lower worlds, so he should expect himself to be disadvantaged in the future.
Before dying, Zuroc had mentioned the word blood cultivator, and though the man didn't elaborate much on it, Seth had an idea that it was a unique type of cultivation and one of the scrolls he had come across in Zuroc's possession proved so.
Seth realized that he was seeing more of the world, and if his recent battle was anything to go by, then the universe won't be the playground that he would like it to be, but Seth promised himself to make this a temporary fact.
When he became the strongest, the world would naturally become his plaything, but first, he had to deal with the one problem which he had been putting off for a long time, the one problem that would prove a hindrance to his goal, and that was his arrogance.
Several times he had been warned about it, and now after finally conquering the trauma Minuha had left in him, Seth felt it was time to face the worst of his problems, and for that, he could only reluctantly decide to meet Rose.
Seth was deep in thought when the sound of people approaching reached his ears and his body tensed up in alert.
