New Age Of Summoners

All the tribes that were groomed by the summoner's group were alerted and right now, they only have a single mission and it is to catch the ghost fox.

According to the information they got, the ghost fox that appeared in the western fox lands was the son of the tribe leader of the ghost fox tribe.

Many tribe leaders were having second thoughts about catching the ghost fox.

'As long as I can trade the ghost fox for the three artifacts that the summoner group badly wants, maybe Ii can enter the king realm or even more powerful than that.'

This thought flashed in the heads of all 28 tribe leaders from time to time except for Frey, the grey furred fox tribe leader.

Because, unlike others, he will not forget who helped him.

Without the summoner's group, he would have been in the demonic fox tribe as a servant or guard to protect someone or something.

So, as long as he received any mission from the summoner's group. Frey would complete them even when he knew that items or things he got from the mission were valuable.

Soon, everyone mobilized their armies and ordered them to search the entire western fox lands without wasting any time.

...

As for Ajax, he had long entered into the tailed spirit fox tribe's territory and he was only 10 kilometers from his destination.

'Cerauno, take care of him.'

All of a sudden, Ajax gave a command to his lightning elemental spirit without looking at the enemy.

'Yes, summoning master.'

Cerauno had killed more than six guardians from the tailed spirit fox tribe without any mercy.

Just like that, Cerauno had killed another one because if he didn't kill them, they would kill him and his elemental spirit.

So, Ajax didn't show any mercy.

"Master, do you see the small trees there? We are finally here."

After running for another few minutes, the three-eyed ghost who was silently guiding them shouted with an excited look on his face.

"Here?"

Ajax was surprised to hear those words because the surroundings of the place they were standing right now looked common and peaceful.

"Yes, master. Did you see that fourth tree in the third row? The entrance to that place is hidden there."

The ghost fox jumped out of Ajax's arms and pointing at a tree, informed Ajax about the entrance to a hidden spirit stone mine.

'No wonder even when a quasi mid-level spirit stone mine was right under their nose, the tailed spirit fox tribe was unable to find it.'

Looking at the tree which was too common, Ajax thought to himself.

All the trees around them looked the same and there was nothing of value in this place. So, there was no one guarding it for nearly 10 killometers radius of this place.

"Let's go."

Soon, the ghost fox tapped the tree in various places before doing the same thing with the ground below it.

'Rumble'

All of a sudden, a low rumbling sound came out of nowhere and before they could know what was happening, Ajax and Cerauno fell into a hole that appeared below them out of nowhere.

'Aargh'

It was so sudden that Ajax could not help but shout out loud in response; however, he used one of the effects of the lightning cloud steps to fly in the air.

As for Cereauno, he was also shouted before summoning a lightning flash and stood on it which stopped him from down.

'Swoosh'

Unlike them, the three-eyed ghost fox was freely falling on the ground and all of a sudden it disappeared and within the next second, it appeared on the ground.

'Looks like the ghost fox has come more than once to this place.'

Looking at the ghost fox's antics, Ajax silently thought to himself.

Nevertheless, he didn't say anything and used the teleport effect from the same cultivation technique to appear on the ground.

"Father, I am here."

As soon as the ghost fox landed on the ground, he started shouting for his father.

As for Ajax and Cerauno, they were observing the spirit stone mine which was emitting a rich dark essence of nature.

The spirit stone mine looked like a regular stone mine; however, there were many black crystals shining in the cave which gave enough lighting for Ajax and the other two to see.

Even though they were all dark elemental spirit stones, Ajax and others were able to see in that light.

"What a rich essence of nature!"

Ajax muttered in a low voice and thought, 'No wonder, Ghost's father didn't want to inform the tailed spirit fox tribe about it because this spirit stone mine is a perfect cultivation spot for dark elemental beings like ghost fox.'

'Should I summon my dark elemental summons?'

"Son"

Just as Ajax thought about summoning his dark elemental beings under him, he heard a crude but calm voice from the depths of the spirit stone mine.

"Father."

As soon as the three-eyed ghost fox heard that voice, it became excited and rushed into the direction from where that voice came from.

"Looks like we finally found Ghost's father."

Ajax looked at Cerauno and said to him with a slight smile on his face.

"Yes, summoning master; however, I think going back to the Shixato wilds will not be easy."

Cerauno nodded his head and worried about going back to the Shixato wilds.

"Don't worry, everything will work out."

Ajax shook his head at Cerauno's worry and followed in the direction of the ghost fox.

"I should really summon all the dark beings under me."

Soon, they entered too deep into the spirit stone mine and they sensed that the deeper they go into the spirit stone mine, the richer the essence of nature was.

After coming to a conclusion, Ajax thought of summoning them; however, he put that thought on hold because of a system notification.

'Ding,

          Using all the spirit stones in the quasi mid-level spirit stone mine, the host can upgrade the dark elemental paradise to grade 4. Do you want to do it?

'What?'

Ajax halted in his steps when he saw the system notification.

Because the dark elemental essence of nature in a grade 3 dark elemental paradise was already very rich. So, when he saw the system notification, he was shocked for a moment before being surprised by it.

However, he didn't agree to it because the spirit stone is not his and it was not even found by him.

'First, I will meet him and then think about this spirit stone mine.'

So, taking it without the permission of the one who found it seemed like a bad idea for him. 

In the end, Ajax decided to wait until he met Ghost's father. 

Without wasting any time, Ajax and Cerauno walked deeper into the spirit stone mine.

Finally, after walking for a few moments, Ajax could see a muscular middle-aged man with black fox ears along with a black tail whose tip was white in colour.

"You must be the summoner who took care of my son all these years."

As soon as the muscular middle-aged man saw Ajax, he walked towards Ajax with Ghost in his hands and spoke to him.
