Pearl walked away from the sixth artifact he had found. It had taken him longer to reach this one than all the others he had been to, mostly because of his own choice to take his time as he walked through the massive Fighting Island.
That was why it had been over six months since the last one he had found.
That was over two years since he had arrived on this island. Two years was supposed to be a rather short time for an immortal beast like him, but the constant fights and moving around made the time seem much longer than it actually was.
And he still had eight more years to go. Hopefully, he could hide himself well during that time. So long as no White Tiger found him, he would be happy.
A week or two later, he had walked far enough away from the artifact that he could finally relax a little. No beast would wait in ambush this far away, and even if they did, it would be a coincidence at best. Unlike near the artifact, where it was a near guarantee.
