Night of the Broken Gliph

Chapter 97



Chapter 97

Chui Yim crashed into the eagle, which fell to the ground and coughed up blood. Contrarily, Chui Yim was totally fine. He was even hugging onto an aromatic drumstick. The knowledge that he was thrown out of an unknown space by a drumstick made his eyes pop like a goldfish. 

You saw that gliph? Chor Shing Chit came over with Chui Yims bag. He wore a weird expression on his face. 

How did you know? Chui Yim looked at him in shock. 

Lets go, the beast tide is here. Chor Shing Chit ignored Chui Yims question and carried him on his back. His eyes met the poor, injured eagle that changed into a palm-sized bird and no longer possessed any threat to Chui Yim. 

Chor Shing Chits face twitched and grabbed the bird, dashing out of the mountain range as a black shadow. 


Rumble rumble! 

The entire mountain range shook violently, emitting a terrifyingaura around the place. All gliphic beasts in the mountain range,. including those hiding or hibernating,  went bonkers. Some started to attack humans, while others went for other gliphic beasts. The social animals were the worst, for they dashed outside the mountain range as a herd. It was an extremely dangerous situation for all humans, as once the gliphic beasts sensed him or her, they would attack him or her relentlessly. 

Whats going on! 

Unfortunately, the Star Unite Educational Center group who had just entered the mountain range could no longer continue with their journey. Under normal circumstances, the Engraved Mountain Range was a safe place to go. After the last beast tide that took place about twenty years ago, cultivators flooded the place and came up with a rough map. Today, the Star Unite Education Center came for a sharp-toothed lion den; dens and nests in the mountain range were popular because not only could the gliphic beast itself be found, there were also precious plants and the most valuable item of all, beast eggs. Beast eggs were normally found in the gliphic beasts nests and used to breed mounts for clans and organisations. 

Besides, if one were to nurture a beast egg, they might gain loyalty from the gliphic beast which would turn into a powerful military strength of theirs. That was what made beast eggs so valuable. 

The Stars Unite Educational Centre group were filled with confidence for this trip as they came with the exclusive route map drawn by their institutions elders. The treasures that were nothing to the powerful elders were the best for them, the growing youths. 

Sadly, they came across a beast tide! 

The Engraved Mountain Range beast tide was famously associated with being extremely dangerous and odd. After every beast tide, the entire biosystem of the mountain range would shuffle entirely, changing the locations of gliphic beasts and plants habitats. And this meant that their exclusive map had now turned into a piece of trash since it could no longer be used.  

Anger boiled in Bak Wai Chuk when he realised the fact, whereas his teacher was a lot calmer. His teacher was a three-chambered glipher after all; a grade two sharp-toothed lion or even their eggs were nothing to him. The only thing that he would spare a glance at in the mountain range would be the rare treasures or legendary gliph. 

The teacher frowned upon sensing the beast tide and immediately made the decision to leave with his students. However, the gliphic beasts had other plans. 

The route they took was one that Star Unite Educational Centres elders came up with after much research and thoughts. Thus, it was a safe route that took them to the sharp tooth lion dent directly. Yet this had turned into a disadvantage currently, as the sharp-toothed lions that dashed out from their den directly took this path, coming across the fleeing group. 

Roar

Numerous lions roars boomed across the place, making the three-chambered state gliphers face fall. 

sharp-toothed lions were nothing to him at his state, and he could simply take down ten of them on his own. But now, he was going against a pride of more than a hundred sharp-toothed lions! Even if he was at the peak of the three-chambered state, he would not even be able to deal with half! 

Without hesitation, he covered his students in energliph and escaped with them. 

Roar! 

Being triggered by the engraved mountain range, the sharp-toothed lions chased after them fiercely. 


Boom

The stomps of more than a hundred sharp-toothed lions resembled thunder. Bak Wai Chui might be a talent of his generation but never had he come across such a scene. The sight of the lions chasing after them ferociously, barring their shiny, golden teeth, made him turn as pale as a sheet of paper. 

Their teacher wore an ugly expression on their face as well. In fact, he wasnt a graduate of the Stars Unite Educational Centre, but a nobody. He only managed to break through to the three-chambered state thanks to the resources Star Unite Educational Centre provided him with when he joined them. 

He was a glipher of both arms and wind chamber. Thus he had no advantage when it came to speed, and the difficulty only increased when he had to spare energliph for the students! 

Determination flashed across his eyes. If Im really in danger then I might have to abandon these kiddos. He was not a member of the Stars Unite Educational Centre anyways, and life was of the most importance. At most Ill just run away and cut all ties from the institution! 

Just as he was being brought away by his thoughts, a white shadow came into his sight. The Great Book Academys teacher was currently standing next to him. She signalled to the three-chambered glipher and moved together. 

A team of a three-chambered glipher and a ten-gliphic gliphist stood a much higher chance of survival. As if trying to prove her sincerity, the teacher of Great Book Academy waved her slender hands, printing a gliph on the glipher with energliph. The gliphist felt himself lighter and was able to travel at a much faster speed. 

It was just a basic Light Wind gliph, but it came into huge use in this situation. The gliphers spirit was raised. He nodded back at the gliphist, pulled something out of his sleeves, then threw the black shadow at the gliphist. 

Never did be gliphist imagine that the shadow would smash on her. The fishy smell of blood filled her nose, turning her white robe red.  

Thats the blood of a sharp-toothed lion cub.  Well, you can die in my place. Enjoy, the glipher said and sped away with the help of the Light Wind gliph! 

Despicable! Ha Yu Bing cursed at the glipher. She turned around in dismay to find the sharp-toothed lions staring at them with deadly looks. Living in pride, sharp-toothed lions were extremely protective of their cubs. The scent of their cubs blood made the lions view the Great Book Academy group as enemy naturally.
