Chapter 82

In his particular situation, a school would also be a good idea to find and join, because as a student, all schools gave you a room at the very least to stay in. There were many cities in Stone Kingdom who had great schools, but there were also George's contacts, but his contacts were too far north for Timothy to feel like it was a good decision to head over right away. He had done enough traveling for someone even several years older than him, what he craved now was just to focus on living his life when he reaches human civilization once more.

Looking up, Timothy finally saw a large waterfall ahead with a massive body of water connected to it. From what he had gathered, the level three demon beast loved living in water, and would not come out of it from the inside often. It also did not have an ordinary bloodline so the level two demon beasts that were also present who had ordinary bloodlines more or less always listened to its orders.

Timothy wanted to head over to the water, because he was not able to actually take a nice bath in quite some time. He would not be considered a dirty person, because as long as he circulated the natural energy around him enough, his body would rid itself of any bad stench and would clean itself. This was another benefit that a cultivator had, because sometimes a cultivator needed to go into closed door cultivation for tens of years to get over a bottleneck of theirs.

Still, Timothy would have loved to have an actual bath before he arrived into Stone Kingdom. As he got a little closer to the waterfall area, just so he could properly go around it but to not get lost in the process, a small group of human cultivators were doing the same but on the opposite side of the waterfall area.

There were a total of four members in the group and the weakest of the bunch was an Advance stage cultivator while the strongest was a high leveled Master stage cultivator. It looked to be that they were from the Stone Kingdom's military and were handling a task assigned to their group. However, they wore very strange looking symbols on their Stone Kingdom military uniforms.

"Remember you three, if we are able to locate that person, we must kill him immediately. As long as we are able to bring back his head, the bounty will be ours to keep!" the leader told the other three as they were contemplating on how they would find and kill someone that they were tasked to do by the military itself.

"I still am unable to grasp the fact that he was able to gather so much support from the Dark Church, and is not even an official member of theirs! What has the world come to where the Dark Church goes out of their way to hand out warnings to everyone to not harm that person or they would go out of their way to act, even if they needed to take down an entire kingdom?" one of the three experts said in both a very mad and worried way.

"It is exactly why the Dark Church made such a bold stance, that many kingdoms tasked the Stone Kingdom to act against the individual in a low key manner by offering a large bounty but only to its military. We are not bounty hunters, but our general still wanted our squad to actually handle it. I hope that we could end the battle quickly if we do come across him!" the leader said once more as the squad made its way around the waterfall.

Both Timothy and the squad of experts actually saw each other from the distance and neither one of them knew how to react. Because of Michael's warning about not entirely trusting humans within the Monster's Wasteland, Timothy quickly equipped his best armor on his body and took out his pole as a warning for the other side to leave him alone.
