38 Seductress (1/2)
A musky smell of earth hit his nose, chirping of birds, Ryuu noticed they were standing on a forest floor, trees so big that their tops cannot be seen, so thick it would take twenty full grown men to even surround its trunk.
Ryuu/Long Yu: ”Wow, this forest is huge, so which of this biome that is the most dangerous.”
Bashista: ”It is relative you see some may say snow biome, for some it will be forest”, he replied with a shrug.
Long Yu nodded at that, as they were walking he kept his ears open as he listened to the chirping of the birds and howling and growling of animals as well as noises made by smaller insects. Trying to discern anything he could find anything about the forest.
Suddenly he heard a cacophony of various smaller animals as they fled, he only made out a few tidbit, 'run the seductress is here', he showing extreme a agility caught a small red tailed squirrel, a level 1 Xiantian beast, the beast was scared, first he was running from that seductress now he was caught by a human, he had heard how vicious humans are, he cursed his luck, before closing his eyes waiting for his death. But death did not arrive to him, instead he heard the human speaking in his language, ”Oy squirrel speak who this seductress is? If you speak truthfully I will release or else kukukuku.”
His kind was always known as faint hearted coward, but he knew well they were realist who knew their abilities well, as well as non violent beast, who detested violence as such they do not participated any form of combat. But he wouldn't let this human push him thus he replied with great anger, ”My lord my father, my grandfather, oh great ancestor please have mercy.”, Long Yu glared at him, his Divine body acting its magic, he uttered only one word, ”answer”. ”Yes yes my lord, the seductress is a Human faced Spider –scorpion.”, Long Yu's blood ran cold, he instinctively released the squirrel, who hastily ran away as fast as he could. Meanwhile his teammates were wondering what was he doing, ”Brother Yu, what happened, stop playing with the squirrel, let's go.”
Long Yu stammered out, ”Yes let us leave”, how could he warn his teammates now, without trying to tell about his divine body. Suddenly a thought occurred to him.
”Brother, the beasts seemed restless as if they are fleeing from something, I caught the squirrel it seemed it was frightened beyond believe, there must be some strong creature coming this way.”
The others hummed at that they knew as a team their points are shared thus instead of mere 5000, they have 40000 in each biome to get a pass into the next biome.
Bashista frowned before asking, ”Long Yu which direction did they come from.”
Long Yu: ”East.”
Bashista:”Tina Veronica scout ahead, we will set up ambush here.”
Long Yu took a deep breath, this was his very fast battle, a battle to death he had spar with his teachers, or some puppet soldier, but never a living breathing creature, he tried to calm his nerves as he thought of every possible attack scenarios and weakness of the Human faced Spider-scorpion.
