Chapter 392 - Igniting The Fires of War (Part-2) (1/2)

”So that is the tree that they worship?”

Chianyu nodded at that as he spoke, ”Yes a real nasty thing they sacrifice their victims alive near it over that stone table the Tribal Chieftain devours the heart raw as the blood flows to nourish the roots before the body is tossed with much dramatic fanfare towards the tree roots where it dragged the poor bastard, the Chief had been practicing for some time now and I believe no less than half a dozen beings had been sacrificed.”

Ryuu looked at the tree with hundreds of thousands of flora and fauna rammed down his throat there was hardly anything that he did not know specially while working in the herbarium and the garden of his teacher, well it was true there were parts that he was still not permitted to enter mainly because he was not strong enough but even after all this he failed to recognize the plant that looked as if made up of hair as dark as the night which had been braided together and stood tall with its purple color leaves that looked like faces of various creatures including humans in great agony.

”Interesting tree they have do you recognize it brother Chainyu?”

Chianyu shook his head with a tired sigh as he spoke, ”No though it kind of give me creeps you know the kind that makes you want to…”

”Stay as far away as possible I understand brother I also fell the hair raising of my back that thing is nasty, do you think fire can deal with it?”

Chianyu shrugged at that as he spoke, ”Might be most plants do after all but…”

Ryuu scratched his chin as he spoke with a contemplative look on his face, ”Hmm if we use a c.o.c.ktail of various methods we might succeed.”

”So we take care of the tree or whatever it is?”

Ryuu nodded at that as he spoke, ”Yes and since their festival or whatever is arriving soon I believe that it is the most important time for us to deal with it we cannot let such evil thing to survive I just hope that the no marking of the other tribe is mistakenly placed here when we do the deed.”

Chinayu's face flushed as he tried to hold back his laughter after all it would do them no good if he gave away their location because he forgot to reign in his laughter.

At the same time a similar situation was taking place as Zywia and True-Spear looked at another giant plant but unlike the previous tree that was been watched by Ryan and Chianyu but unlike it this tree seemed to be made up of giant flowers in fact tree seemed to have been made up of flower itself and inside the flower a scene of debauchery was taking place that made Zywia feel sick as she grabbed hold of True-Spear's hand hard, True-Spear himself had a look of disgust as he whispered to her, ”Let us leave this place makes feel sick.”, Zywia wordlessly nodded at that as the duo left.

As they arrived at camp they were greeted by the sight of Ryuu and Chainyu in furious discussion with rest of their companions as they entered Chianyu looked towards them as he spoke, ”Ah the duo we were waiting for is here.”

Ryuu frowned seeing their slight green face as he spoke, ”Is something wrong?”, if True-Spear had attempted something foolish Ryuu would have taken his life then and there consequences be damned he may joke and make fun of Zywia from time to time but he had zero tolerance policy against such dastardly acts but more importantly Zywia was not only one of his closest friend and confidant Cezary's younger sister but she was also the daughter of her sister's closest friend and Ryuu would happily pull out various tricks out of his bags that had been taught to him by his third Mistress and third Sister but luckily for True-Spear seemed to not only supporting her but he himself looked a bit distraught.

'Well it is good for him that he had done nothing funny.', as the idle thought passed through Ryuu's mind True-Spear suddenly felt an intense sense of dread that nearly made him choke only for it to be replaced by a sense of intense relief, 'I might be working too hard and now I need some rest yes that must be.'
