Chapter 141: Meeting Up With Pan Nu, Pumpkin Wolfy
......
To be completely candid, Azmodeus didn't see much of anything that could help him in understanding what sort of location he was transported to, as the trees were slightly larger than normal trees, being a few dozen meters in height, with some of them yellow and blue in color instead of brown and green.
There were also a few cultivationless animals jumping from tree to tree or roaming on the grassy plains and fields below, but other than that and the peculiar screeches they occasionally produced, there wasn't much to the surrounding area.
"The animals seem more curious than harmful, and the forest itself doesn't appear to be some form of hive mind or gaping monster's mouth... So, is this place really as simple as it looks...?"
Azmodeus doubted that was the case, as there was no way the Astral Leap was as basic as this, so he surmised that the true Astral Leap Trial was either in a different location or it had to do with the world itself.
Maybe it's similar to a test of endurance? Testing how long the participants could survive in a hostile environment...?
That thought lingered inside his mind for a moment before disappearing as soon as it came. After all, there was essentially nothing hostile about anything in the area where he landed, excluding the fall itself, of course.
So in the end, his train of thought was back at square one as he continued brooding over the subject with his uninhibited perception speed.
Wait...
Noticing that he could think extremely fast got him on the topic of reduced attributes, and from that string of thoughts, a certain something formed inside his subconscious.
Does this world and the subsequent Astral Leap Trial have something to do with increasing attributes...?
And if so, what exactly dictates this attribute increasing prerequisite?
He pondered the subject for a few moments before eventually reaching the conclusion that it had something to do with his body.
And his reasoning for this hypothesis was because there was something constantly affecting his body, almost as if it were trying to open something up and put something else inside a metaphorical 'hole'.
What is it?? My body, yes. But how so??
Is it trying to improve my physical strength...? Yes, but not exactly...
And inside that box, there was nothing but a wide assortment of... treats...
It was at the moment he felt chocolate drip into his crimson-colored hair that Azmodeus felt a little empathetic for the wolf that had to deal with her antics before he got here.
"You've been through some things, huh...?" He inquired while gently caressing the large wolf's snout.
"Arrawrgh..." 'Did you hear what she named me after kidnapping me with her weird eye powers!?'
The wolf seemed to be going through quite the mid-life crisis, as Azmodeus could swear that he saw tears build up inside its watermelon-sized eyes.
Nevertheless, he gave her a few more pets, easily making friends with a terrifying wolf before he had 'Pumpkin Wolfy' follow behind him, continuing to venture deeper into the woods, trying to figure out what part of his body this world was trying to augment.
And while this was happening, he decided to ask Pan Nu a few questions that he was curious about:
"How were you able to survive the fall with your strength reduced to such a degree? And how is it that you were able to tame a beast that possesses physical strength well into the Core Formation Realm??"
The young, misty-eyed girl momentarily looked down from her vantage point as she replied, "For your second question, I have a special set of eyes-"
"Family again?" Azmodeus interjected.
"Yes... And as for your first question, I honestly have no clue what you're talking about..."
"You didn't fall from a few thousand miles in the sky?"
"No... Did you?"
"..."
Azmodeus smelled something afoot, but he decided it wasn't worth delving into at this moment in time, especially when considering the 'visitor' rapidly approaching their location...
