Chapter 393 - Igniting The Fires of War (Part-3) (2/2)

Many of them nodded in agreement, as one of them spoke with a frown, ”That child if I am not mistaken did not belong to that other tribe was he?”

Devaraj who was nearby frowned, his mind working hard for a brief moment before he spoke with an understanding nod, ”Ah I see while trying to find them we found signs of other tribes who are much smaller and are often prey to these two.”

”Hmm, if we could have gotten them involved then.”

Ryuu shook his head as he spoke, ”Then nothing, nothing would have happened except we might have failed by involving others who we know nothing about.”

”They can replace them.”

”And how do we know they are not as bad as these two?”, with his piece said an impatient Ryuu began pacing in the clearing as he a spoke with a growl, ”They surely are taking their time.”

A rustle of leaves made them tensed for a moment, ”Objective complete brother Ryuu.”

True-Spear's voice came to the clearing, making everyone relaxed at that even more so when he appeared in front of them.

”Did anything interesting happened during your objective?”

True-Spear smirked as he pointed towards his martial sister as he spoke, ”Sister Frost Flames got a bit angry with them and decided to torture one of them a little.”

Sabering Saber snorted at that as he spoke with a sever, ”A little I was feeling sorry for that bastard.”

Chianyu laughed at that as he spoke, ”It seems that there is a female version of Brother Ryuu out there never thought I would see two sadists at the same place.”

Ryuu did not pay any heed to them though he noticed from the corner of his eye Frost Flames blushed for a split second.

”They are taking too long.”, with Ryuu's words, an uncomfortable silence descended in the clearing.

Every second seemed to be an eternity to them many were meditating, some pacing around whereas others leaned against the tree stump trying to wait patiently.

True-Spear could no longer wait as he spoke, ”I am going to check on them.”

Ryuu nodded towards him only for the trees to rustle again as the other two teams appeared.

”Mission accomplished.”

”Then let us leave, they can fight all they want we are leaving this level as soon as possible.”

Ryuu could no longer wait they already have the ticket to the Fifth Level, and with the hope that it would not be as uncomfortable as the current level, he wished to move onto the next and hopefully, the poison would not trouble him much.

Chianyu pouted a bit as he spoke, ”Aww, I wanted to witness their battle.”

A few of them smirked having the same idea in their mind making Ryuu groan inwardly, as he was getting tired of their shenanigans, because of his current health condition.

”Maybe we can take a bit of a vacation before moving to the next level as I so do not wish to hurry and jump into a conflict between the Deva and Preta.”

Ryuu snorted inwardly at that, 'The swamp is hardly any vacation spot, they are simply stalling as they do not wish to get involved in the feud before realms.'

He understood their motive and he, himself did not wish to get involved while their number was so low, but alas that would be akin to courting death for him.

”Whether we move or whether we do not the fact remains the same that we would face them sooner rather than later.”, as he finished his speech Ryuu started to leave towards their base.

A few hours later, as they were preparing to leave a figure looked at his fellow Cultivators, he raised his hand as a pink pear-shaped fruit appeared in his hands. The fruit looked as if it was trying hard to maintain its shape as countless beings trying hard to claw their way out of it.

The figure smirked before consuming it with a gulp, 'Who would have thought I would be so lucky to find a 'Soul Trapping Pear' in this swamp and the best part no one knew about it, and now my Cultivation, as well as my Divine body, would benefit greatly.”

”With the last of the piece of the puzzle assembled, the door is now open, let us venture forth.”

Ryuu looked at his team as he shared a small nod with them as he ventured into the unknown, as everyone gambled their past, present and future with the hope they would survive.
