62 Hidden Division (2/2)
'The previous wolf clan was completely slaughtered in order to avoid future troubles, there is also this wolf clan which is a bigger threat. I need to be ruthless in order to survive… That guys words still repeat at the back of my mind, although there is some truth to it I will not walk down a path like that.' She shook her head. 'Strangely enough being reborn as a spirit beast pushes me towards a similar growth style, killing and devouring others to gain strength…'
'But who says I have to become a monster in order to survive and protect those I want from harm, beasts kill beasts, humans kill humans, beasts kill humans, humans kill beasts. It goes on and on endlessly and has done so since the beginning, where there are wars or conflicts there will be profits to gain and where hunting beasts happens there will be those who purchase the beast cores.' Shadow began to smile to herself. 'My return to the place of humans may take some time but that does not mean I cannot make some preparations in the future and any other enemies in the future in the forest will be dealt with like the others before them. Without mercy, not one bit of their resources will go to waste too.'
Shadow was indeed a very resourceful person and hated to waste what could be put to use so whatever she gained previously had been put to use during the past month.
Spirit beast blood had been a big help towards Launes training, the meat was given to the more carnivorous beasts, the cores were given to beasts who made efforts to grow stronger, the skin and bones were kept to sell in the future.
Even the weaker beasts who did not have many combat abilities were given smaller tasks such as information gathering, maintaining the habitat and gathering herbs.
Shadow looked at a nearby bush where a small green serpents body rested between the branches and leaves. ”Go back and tell Laune to come and assist in the next battle, the rest will be left to Lilith to defend our territory from invaders. If my brother, sister or the monkey kings son happen to enter then welcome them and do not hurt them. If they become hostile subdue them without doing too much harm, I cannot have any information leak out to the fox clan so be extra careful during this time and do not be noticed.”
”Yes boss I will go right away.” The green serpent quickly slithered away into the forest between the greenery going unnoticed by most of the beasts on his way back.
The green serpent was from a small family of green tree snakes, they look harmless but have the ability to blend in with forest environments well because of their green scales and they only hunt smaller animals because compared to other snake species their venom is not as deadly.
However Shadow had already killed numerous kinds of smaller animals and collected some deadly herbs which could be of help.
Extracting the venom from their bodies and making mild poisons from the herbs she could put them to effective use!
Combining the green tree snakes natural ability to go unnoticed when in such situations and a powerful venom they could be a great help towards her goals so Shadow thought of a way to train them.
There were very few different poison based cultivation methods because those that do not practice a perfect one usually die from the effects of the poisons in their body unless they build up a strong immunity.
Those perfect manuals however perfected the art, transforming their spirit energy and nurturing it with different poisons while building up their bodies resistance to poisons.
One of which was the thousand poisons art, it focuses on training the body to become immune to many different kinds of poisons while also turning their spirit energy into a potent poison.
So using this method after being made suitable for the green tree snakes, their venom and spirit energy became more deadly during this time.
The snake that had just left was the family leader Martis who had showed the most progress and talent in training with the cultivation method so was appointed a position as head of the hidden division of the Ever-Reach beasts and loyally hid close enough to Shadow at all times awaiting orders.
