Chapter 394: 394: Caravan

From what Alex read about the barrier formations during his time in the library, he remembered there being written that one could destroy a barrier if they used a particularly strong attack on a weak point. 

There were various ways to find the weak point of a barrier and what he had just done was one of them. 

Barriers that were not sturdy made a lot of fluctuations on the surface when attacked and sometimes showed imperfections. One had to have really good knowledge about the barrier or barriers, in general, to be able to do this. 

Alex didn't know much about formations, in general, to know about barriers, but he did have information about the barrier through Zexi's notes. According to the note, if the barrier had low efficiency, it could be destroyed in the same way Alex did. 

Once the formation had disappeared, Alex immediately stretched his spiritual sense to the 35-meter distance so he could see everything just in case. 

He ran around where the barrier was in a perimeter and found about 10 different formation flags planted there. He took all of them, as well as the ones for the spirit disorienting formation.

Once he was done, he decided to leave. He didn't know what direction he was supposed to go towards, but given that he was in a forest, he checked the sun and fully hid his body before speeding towards the north.

Just as he was about to leave, he felt something with his spiritual sense again. He checked what it was and saw that it was another formation flag. 

Alex picked up the flag but didn't know where the others were placed, he checked for a few minutes and found another one, but nothing after that. 

Whatever this formation was for, its job had ended a while ago.

"Hmm, I can't tell what material this is," he thought and put the flags into his storage bag. He walked further north. After killing many beasts and finding quite a few alchemy ingredients along the way for about 2 hours, he ended up finally seeing a roadway.

"I'm finally out," he thought. "Although, damn! Where am I?" he thought as he looked around. 

There was no one to be seen around. He didn't even know which direction the capital was. 

"I should ask for a direction towards the capital when I s— " suddenly, he heard a distant thumping. He wondered what it was and looked to his right. 

Far away, he could see some movement on the road. He waited for it to come up to him. Even though the distance was quite far, the thing coming took quite a while. 

As it got closer, he could see why that was. 

It was a large merchant caravan that had a lot of merchandise. So it was moving very slowly. Alex waited for it to arrive next to him. 

When it arrived, he saw that there were quite a few people there. Suddenly, pressure crashed on him from a True realm expert. 

'What? Why is there someone like that here?' he thought.

"Who are you? And why are you blocking this road?" a voice came from above. Alex just looked up as a girl in a red robe descended from above.

The pressure was making him unable to move, but thanks to his body, it wasn't hurting at all. 

"I'm just a lost person who needs direction," Alex shouted. 

The girl didn't stop using the pressure and asked, "What direction?" 

"I need to know the direction to the capital," he said. 

Finally, the girl lowered her pressure a little and pointed behind her. "Capital is that way," she said. 

"Oh, thank you. That means Scarlett City is that way right?" he asked as he pointed to the other direction. 

The girl in the red robes was about to get angry when she took in all her anger and completely let go of her hostile aura. "Yes, it's that way," she said. 

"Oh thank god. I will fly my way there," Alex said. "Thank you." 

Suddenly the pressure stopped him again, only it wasn't trying to hurt him, only constrain him. "I don't know if you are a bandit or not, so I can't let you do that. You said you need to go to the Scarlet city right?" she asked. 

Alex couldn't talk so he nodded. "Good, this caravan is going there too. You can take a ride in this caravan with me and my servant. That way I can keep an eye on you," the girl said. 

"O-Okay!" Alex said. He had no other choice against a cultivator in the True Realm. 'I can't see her strength. It says mortal, but from the aura, it feels way weaker than the master. So, maybe she is in her first minor realm of the True realm,' Alex thought. 

He was pulled and dragged into one of the caravan carriages where the woman was staying with her servants. 

Alex looked to the inside and felt like it was a little too drab. Then he saw a girl who was looking at him. 

'What's a mortal doing here?' he thought. It was very unlikely that someone could become a mortal and mingle with the cultivators, but here he was. 

"Those two are my servant," the girl said and walked to the front.

Alex smiled and nodded towards the servant. The servant seemed to be with a woman who was sleeping. Alex couldn't see her first, but once he focused, he saw that the final woman that was also a mortal. He decided to ignore them and just enjoy the journey. 

Along the way, he saw many things that he had missed when coming here the first time. He was always on the top of the deck of the flying boat, so it's almost impossible. 

"Hello, are you alright? Do you want some water?" the servant asked after looking at Alex. Alex looked behind him and saw the girl with two glasses of water.

He took the glass and thanked the servant before moving along with his own job.
