Chapter 1326 Eye In The Mountains

Grey didn't bother to extract any blood from his body since he didn't want to attract any more attention to himself. Rather, he brought out a top-tier healing tonic and offered it to anyone willing to fork out more blood.
Brax was one who agreed to his offer, and he offered more blood. With the help of the tonic, he not only recovered, but he sensed that he grew a bit stronger. It might seem negligible, but in his current cultivation stage, growing every bit was very valuable.
Grey thanked him and after a few more hours they went back to the mountain range. With the presence of the Magical Beasts there, they had to be very cautious. Given how they were moving around, they all knew what the Magical Beasts were searching for, and if they were to see any humans or Giants around, they wouldn't hesitate to attack.
When they headed back.
The five Giants went to their positions and after doing the hand seals, the door opened up.
The blood that had been stored was released into it. Unlike the enthusiasm the door showed when it was absorbing Grey's blood, it was a little slower when it started absorbing the blood of regular humans. It only showed an increase in pace when Elaris' blood was placed on it.
The lines on the door started to glow with more intensity as well and the ruin marks started to show.
Grey, unlike the others who were just watching the door open up, was studying how the door was absorbing the blood and also the ruin marks on the door. He was not only looking at it, rather, he was drawing it mentally to ensure he didn't forget it.
He has always been curious about anything relating to arrays, so seeing this piqued his interest.
"At this pace, the Beasts will sense it and attack us." One of the Giants spoke up.
The door hadn't shown any signs of opening up, and with the glow the door was giving off, it was only a matter of time before the Magical Beasts in the area notices it and rushes there. With how smart these Beasts were, they wouldn't attack since they were also hoping to acquire some good treasures as well, and any place that would require both the Giant and human races working together would definitely possess impeccable treasures.
"Don't worry, I'll set up an array to make it hard for them to sense anything from here." Grey said.
As much as he wanted to study the ruin marks on the door, he also wasn't interested in getting entangled with these top Magical Beasts. They were too tricky to deal with. And some of them might even be thousands of years old. Magical Beasts with such age would be even more powerful when compared to a regular genius Peak Elemental Venerable.
With the experience it has amassed and also the multiple battles, it would not be easy to deal with.
Grey brought out a few energy stones, mixed with chaos stones, he tossed them in different directions, and with a few hand seals, a large barrier covered the area. With this barrier active, there was no way the Magical Beasts would be able to sense anything, unless they were very close to the area.
However, Grey's expression changed when he noticed a large eye staring at him.
The most shocking thing was the fact that the eye was from a mountain. He took another look at the mountain and realized it wasn't a mountain, rather, it was the head of an extraordinarily large Beasts.
"Crap! We've been seen." He alerted the others.
The only reason he hadn't made any move was because the creature wasn't making any moves, instead, it was just staring at everyone present. Its eyes soon locked on the door, and the blood that was being absorbed.
A soft growl came out of the creature's mouth. It soon opened its mouth and spoke.
"I have no interest in what you people are doing, I just need to know the whereabouts of whatever's blood was used here a few hours ago."
Grey's heart sunk, he knew this was what the creature was definitely getting at.
He looked behind the head of the creature and all he could see was a mountain.
He was about to ask what it was when Void's voice echoed in his head.
'That's a King Tortoise. They are very rare and possess an exceptional bloodline. Their abilities are even more heaven-defying. Of course, it's not on my level, but it's top-notch nonetheless.'
'If you can get parts of its blood essence, you might be able to attain their innate defensive abilities. All King Tortoises have the same types of innate abilities, and they are all defensive abilities.'
Grey was tempted after hearing Void's words, but when he took a glance at the Tortoise, he knew this thing was well over a thousand years old. Its defense must be at the very top when it comes to Peak Rank Seven Magical Beasts. One has to know that the defensive abilities of Magical Beasts are far superior to that of humans, much less a Magical Beast like this that focuses mainly on defense.
Grey recalled his encounter with another powerful Magical Beast like this.
"We only came here a few minutes ago, we have no knowledge of what you're talking about."
Grey wasn't the one who spoke, but it was the leader of the Giants.
He knew that if this Tortoise were to get into a struggle with them, the other Magical Beasts would be drawn over from the battle. The best thing to do was to speak amicably with it and hope it doesn't try to force the matter.
"I'm no fool. You people left after sensing that the blood attracted us. I sensed the movements here, but I lost you guys. The reason I didn't move from here was because of this." The Tortoise couldn't be fooled by their words.
