Old Ancestor: Thrown Out By The Nanny From The Start-Chapter 504 - Red Moon and Fog

The trees here were short and sparse. The red moon and the red earth could creep one out.

The ancient demonic god’s corpse and the demonic god should both be here.

Himmel Soan concluded. This was more like the place where demons would reside.

The capital city was filled with objects of human civilization. Himmel Soan didn’t believe it was the invention of the demons.

They couldn’t have created such an advanced civilization. Maybe the demons invaded Starain, turning it into the Demon Continent.

Those were only his speculations though. There was no way to verify that theory. He could only speculate.

“Maybe this is the most dangerous place so far,” said Himmel Soan.

The place he had just come out of didn’t seem like a tomb. It felt more like a place suitable for human beings.

The whole thing felt like a test. He had just passed one of the trials.

“Is that wind? Firey, I need your fire!” Himmel Soan immediately took action. It was the right decision.

As soon as the fire was lit, the wind stopped. Even the shadows around them backed away.

“Master, what are those?” Firey was confused.

She only noticed the shadows moving away but never saw who was controlling them.

She asked if Himmel Soan knew what it was, but he shook his head.

He had no idea what those things were. He saw the same thing as Firey, which was how the shadows backed away.

Therefore, Himmel Soan didn’t have an answer either.

“Keep the fire. If it goes off, they’ll jump at us right away.

“Darkness is the most dangerous thing. Let’s not take that risk.” Himmel Soan concluded.

After the illusion, he became much more cautious.

He was gathering information here to find Gina. If he ran into danger or trouble here, he would be wasting this great opportunity.

If the unknown creature was afraid of fire, he would keep it lit.

“Master, how about I burn this place down?” Firey played with the ball of fire in her palm, sounding excited.

Himmel Soan only moved his finger, and Firey cringed. She didn’t want to get clonked again.

She only made a suggestion!

“We can’t burn the place down.

“We don’t know anything about this place or those things. We don’t know if they’re afraid of the fire or simply dislike it.

“Maybe they only backed away because the sight of the fire felt unpleasant.

“To survive in this place, we need to keep the status quo and understand our surroundings first. We can then make some changes according to what we find,” Himmel Soan told Firey.

Firey nodded repeatedly. Although she hardly remembered anything, she behaved like a good kid.

Himmel Soan sighed. Their journey resumed. Before long, they saw blue flames floating in the air.

“Ghost fire?” Himmel Soan was intrigued.

“I think I can absorb them!” Firey felt she had found a treasure trove.

There were tens of thousands of balls of fire here.

Anybody else would stay away because it looked so creepy. However, Firey didn’t feel that way. Rather, it was like going back home!

“One more to go! Done!” Firey absorbed all the flames in less than ten minutes.

Himmel Soan’s face twitched. The girl had absorbed both the magma and the ghost fire. It was such a rewarding trip for her.

He was glad at her progress. He would be happy as long as she was happy. He had become a father through and through.

“Let’s keep moving.”

As soon as he said that, the sky dimmed, and heavy fog filled the woods.

“Is this what the daytime is like? Firey, hold onto me. Don’t let go!” Himmel Soan moved to Firey’s side and held her in his arms.

The fog was so heavy that he could barely see her. He was so worried that they might be separated in this fog.

Gina had disappeared from his world and was still not found. He couldn’t lose Firey.

“That’s alright, Master. I’m here!”

She released a ball of fire, dissipating the fog around them a little. It gave them some room to rest.

“Firey, I’m so glad you’re alright.”

Himmel Soan held her tightly in his arms. He feared losing his daughter.

“I’m totally fine!” Firey grinned.

“Yes! Glad to hear that. This place is so strange.”

Himmel Soan finally had some time to analyze his surroundings.

At night, the place was dimly lit by the red moon, while in the daytime, the heavy fog enveloped the world. That was how strange this place was.

There were “things” in the fog. 𝙛𝔯𝒆e𝔀e𝗯𝓷𝗼𝘃e𝚕.𝒄𝗼𝗺

If Firey’s fire hadn’t pushed the fog away, maybe the “things” in the fog would have separated them.

“Master, will the demonic god really live in such a place?” Firey was perplexed.

“Maybe. Maybe not.”

Himmel Soan caressed the dagger and pondered. He was still trying to analyze the environment.

If the days and nights were always like this, they could only continue their journey at night.

Was there a pattern? Could they make use of it?

“Firey, what do you think of the surroundings?” Himmel Soan tried to find some inspiration from her. He couldn’t figure it out all by himself.

More importantly, he wanted to know if Firey would see it from a different angle.

“Burn it! Let’s burn this place to the ground!”
