Legendary Battle Pet-Chapter 147 - Black Ton Mountain 2
The Scent Seeking Butterfly had virtually no combat abilities, so staying close to Blux and Ethen was considerably safer.
Soul Stones are extremely rare, but Mila had once had the fortune of seeing a small piece at an auction.
Accompanying Mila to this auction was the Scent Seeking Butterfly, which had thus encountered the scent of a Soul Stone before.
Relying on the scent from memory, the Scent Seeking Butterfly diligently sniffed the air, trying to discern the trail of a Soul Stone among all the passing aromas.
With the Scent Seeking Butterfly as a guide, the chances of success for Ethen's mission were significantly increased. All he and Blux had to do was closely follow the Scent Seeking Butterfly to protect it.
As they reached the halfway point up the mountain, the Scent Seeking Butterfly suddenly increased the frequency of its wing flutters.
It was clearly excited. Mila, who had a soul connection with the Scent Seeking Butterfly, immediately received its feedback.
She promptly sent Ethen a message about the Scent Seeking Butterfly's discovery of the Soul Stone's trail.
"There really is a Soul Stone nearby!"
Ethen was overjoyed and immediately, with Blux, hurriedly followed the Scent Seeking Butterfly towards the location of the Soul Stone.
After covering several dozen meters, the two creatures and Ethen spotted an inconspicuous cave. The Scent Seeking Butterfly relayed that the scent of the Soul Stone was emanating from this cave.
"Fantastic!"
Ethen exclaimed with joy and, without hesitation, entered the cave with Blux and the Scent Seeking Butterfly. The cave was not large, roughly about a dozen square meters in size. Inside, the first thing that caught their eyes was a tree, a tree bearing many orange fruits.
"It turns out to be the [Heavenly Fate Fruit]!"
Seeing these fruits, Ethen was pleasantly surprised. He hadn't expected to find the miraculous Heavenly Fate Fruits here.
Heavenly Fate Fruits are fruits born from the gathering of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, containing abundant vitality and blood energy, and are highly favored by battle pet masters.
"Rio!"
Blux was delighted upon seeing the Heavenly Fate Fruits, as it enjoyed their scent very much. The Scent Seeking Butterfly was also pleased; like Blux, it found the aroma of the Heavenly Fate Fruits intoxicating.
However, the Scent Seeking Butterfly's attention wasn't entirely captivated by the Heavenly Fate Fruits. It anxiously fluttered its wings.
It was puzzled as to why, despite detecting the scent of the Soul Stone here, the cave appeared devoid of any trace of it!
The Scent Seeking Butterfly conveyed its anxious feelings to Mila. Mila immediately relayed this information to Ethen.

"Indeed, there's no sign of a Soul Stone here at all. How strange..."
Ethen frowned as he surveyed the surroundings. The cave was empty except for the Heavenly Fate Fruit tree, with no trace of a Soul Stone whatsoever.
"Let's pick these Heavenly Fate Fruits first, then carefully search for the Soul Stone."
Since picking the fruits wouldn't take much time, Ethen proceeded to harvest all the fruits from the Heavenly Fate Fruit tree, placing them into his backpack a total of 16 fruits.
Just as he finished collecting the fruits, he heard an excited cry from Blux.
"Hmm?"
Ethen and the Scent Seeking Butterfly both looked at Blux with curiosity. At that moment, Blux's eyes were shining, and it excitedly conveyed a message to Ethen. It turned out that Blux had discovered the entrance to a small illusion within the cave.
"Are you saying that this inconspicuous stone is the entrance to the illusion?" Ethen asked in surprise.
He soon received confirmation from Blux. Blux indicated that through its mental detection, it had determined that this stone on the ground was indeed the entrance to an illusion.
At the same time, the Scent Seeking Butterfly moved closer to the stone. It found that the scent of the Soul Stone was most distinct near this stone.
However, the stone itself was not a Soul Stone. By this point, Ethen was almost certain: the Soul Stone was indeed not within the cave but in the small illusion accessible through the stone.
Immediately, Ethen reached out to touch the cold stone on the ground. The next moment, a flash of white light enveloped him.
He vanished from the cave, along with Blux and the Scent Seeking Butterfly that were with him. When they reappeared, they found themselves standing in a vast grassland.
"This must be the world within the illusion!"
Ethen concluded. Upon entering this illusory world, the Scent Seeking Butterfly detected an even stronger presence of the Soul Stone.
It quickly flew off in a specific direction. Ethen and Blux hurriedly followed, maintaining a tight formation as they advanced.
Along the way, they encountered numerous skeletons of both humans and magical beasts. It was evident that these individuals and creatures had entered the secret realm before, only to become trapped and perish within it.
This sight made Ethen even more cautious. After about five minutes, guided by the Scent Seeking Butterfly, they arrived at a small lake.
The lake's water was clear, with gentle ripples spreading across the surface. The Scent Seeking Butterfly landed by the lakeside, excitedly flapping its wings. Seeing this, Ethen and Blux rushed forward.What met their eyes was a Soul Stone the size of a fist.
"It really is a Soul Stone!"
Ethen was overjoyed; persistence had paid off, and they had finally found the Soul Stone. With the Soul Stone, Senior Fuad's battle pet, the Vine Stone Giant, could avert disaster.
Without hesitation, Ethen picked up the Soul Stone and placed it in his backpack. Given the urgency of the Vine Stone Giant's situation, Ethen immediately instructed Blux to search for the exit from the illusion.
Blux promptly employed its formidable mental abilities to conduct a thorough search. Human battle pet Masters fear becoming trapped in illusions because the exits are notoriously difficult to find. Once enter, escape is nearly impossible, leading to a grim fate.
