BXBX NOVEL Chapter 948 - What are you?
After all, it had been Yaldra, Jason\'s father, who had given them the task to find Jason, and to take him somewhere safe, where nobody would expect him to be!
Unfortunately, this was easier said than done because it had been nearly three years since the dozens of races had started to search for Jason.
Yet, until now, nobody found even the slightest clue of his whereabouts.
Rather, it was easier to find other races that were searching for Jason than the young halfling himself.
This was rather annoying, but also something that caused most Primordials to think that Jason had already left Manyr.
In the end, the planet might be large, but with tens of thousand beings at the Mecynar stage sent out, even the large planet could be combed through quickly.
Because of that, some races had been allowed to take back their powerhouses as they were important assets of their race\'s strength.
Nonetheless, Grand races were still leaving behind some of their powerhouses owing to the fact that they had a few more individuals at the Mecynar stage than lower-ranked races.
Thus, they kept searching, only to take out all their pent-up frustration and end up in a brawl with other beings.
The resources they had been promised for finding Jason might have been enormous, but the fact that nearly three precious years had been wasted without a single clue of the halfling everyone was looking for, could only be described as annoying.
Yet, instead of giving up, the Cultivators at the Mecynar stage kept looking as they were in a dire need of treasures, and even more so cultivation resources.
As such, they would even search for dozens of years if necessary.
As long as he was on Manyr, they would find him, even if he were to be hiding in the most inaccessible corner of the planet.
That was something, they were sure of!
However, what they could never expect was the fact that Jason never hid.
Rather, he was still flying through the clouds at an altitude of several thousand meters, staring at the five Rocs, and the cloud-piercing tree that devoured the Fiery red dragon\'s breath.
Meanwhile, the Fiery red dragon seemed to grow weaker over time.
This had probably to do with the fact that it was trying to test its limits and extend the time for which it could fly, spit fire, and delay the weakening process of its Origin Sona flower.
The Origin Sona flower was supposed to die, but not before every single cell of the body harbored one of the flower\'s seeds.
Otherwise, one would be unable to continue cultivating properly.
One was still able to advance to the Mecynar stage, but following that, there would always be a part of the cultivated being\'s body that ought to remain at the Specta stage, drastically weakening the being\'s combat prowess.
As such, Jason had figured out that the Dragon wanted to prevent this, which was why it needed something from the treetop inhabiting the five Rocs.
Dragons might have a bad temper, which Jason clearly recalled from his encounter with Wisse, but they were intelligent beings nonetheless.
Because of that, they wouldn\'t do something as long as it harmed themselves and unnecessarily pick up fights.
At least not if the task they were doing fell short to address their issues.
This made it clear that the situation was far more complex than one would think if they would simply assume that the dragon was unscathed, or just enraged about something the Rocs might have done to it.
Turning his head towards Jennifer, he shared everything he thought and perceived with her.
Yet, once he finished speaking, she immediately shook her head vigorously.
"I know what you are thinking of, but don\'t you dare to approach the dragon right now!! In its current crazed state, trying to speak calmly to existence like that dragon is an immediate death sentence!"
Jennifer knew almost immediately what Jason had wanted to do.
As such, it was only obvious that she shot down his plan before bombarding him with a few more things he had to keep in mind.
"You said that the Dragon should have noticed us by now. If that\'s the case, he doesn\'t see us as threats, which is kind of obvious. But shouldn\'t we try to use our voice transmission to speak to the Roc parents?
If your intel is correct, and they\'re at the Peak Specta and Initial Mecynar stage, they should be able to converse in the universal language as well!"
Apparently, every single existence of the universe understood the universal language.
However, being able to speak in it fluently was a different matter as it required a profound understanding of the language.
While even beasts without a trace of intelligence could understand the rough meaning of the spoken words, only those beasts with a tinge of intelligence and wisdom were able to converse in the universal language fluently.
As such, instead of focusing on the fiery red dragon, Jennifer seemed to feel that the Rocs were a much better target to figure out the crux of the situation.
This was certainly true, and Jason could only nod his head in agreement.
As long as the Rocs didn\'t shut off their entire being from connecting to each other in order to initiate a voice transmission, conversing with them should work out decently.
With that in mind, Jason wanted to start right off the bat.
Yet, before he could begin, he sensed that something about Solaris was changing.
It had transformed into the shape of a miniature dragon, or to be precise the golden eyed black dragon, while devouring the fiery red dragon\'s breath through its mouth.
This looked quite interesting, but it was not what caused Jason to halt in his tracks.
Rather, it was the changes the devoured dragon\'s breath was causing to Solaris.
\'Doesn\'t that mean Solaris really needs different flames than the Origin flame in order to become a Tier-2 Origin flame?\'
Confused about the changes, Jason\'s thoughts ran wild as he observed his soulbond.
From the intel he received thanks to the Yinar race\'s hospitality, Jason had learned a bit about other unique types of flames.
Amongst them were flames called [Life Essence Flames], and [Flames of Destruction].
Their strongest trait could be easily deduced based on their individual names, which made it difficult to misunderstand the purpose of the flames.
As such, Jason wondered if Solaris would demand devouring such flames in order to gain their special traits.
This was not unlikely, and after giving it another thought, he realized that Solaris might require more traits in order to evolve.
Maybe it was even the characteristics of Solaris\' flames that had to be enhanced which could be done by devouring powerful flames.
Yet, in the end, Jason had no idea what exactly was going on, let alone how he was supposed to provide Solaris with different types of flames.
After all, the flames he had in mind were even rarer to find than certain High ranked Origin flame crystals!
\'Just what the hell are you, Solaris??\'
Initially, Jason had suspected Solaris to be a normal Origin flame of a high grade, which would already be weird to find in a Goblin settlement.
Nevertheless, every single thing he found out about Solaris told him that the flame was, by no means, just some sort of ordinary Origin flame that he had stumbled upon.
Numerous secrets revolved around Solaris, but Jason had no way of figuring out an answer.
As such, he could only accept the situation as it was, and let the mysteries slowly unveil themselves.
After all, he was supposed to talk with a Roc right now.
If his younger version would have known that his current self was about to attempt talking to a Roc, he would probably call himself crazy.
Yet, crazy things seemed to have become a part and parcel of his life.
This caused him to smile lightly as he averted his attention to the Roc at the Mecynar stage.
\'Let us see what you have to say…\'
