Chapter 91 - A Ploy

Varian hid in a large bush away near the olden soil

The grunting and hooting of apes reverberated across the mountain

Varian took the opportunity to observe the situation

"Hoo"

"Hoo"

A bunch of apes returned Their golden fur stood out in the greenery as they carried a large tiger corpse It was charred and spasmed even after death

'So they are not Body Path practitioners, but actually Thunder path?' Varian guessed

The hunter apes climbed the mountain and soon, sounds of celebration reached his ears

"Hoo"

"Hoo"

Then, one by one, roups climbed the mountain and Varian's back was drenched in sweat

There were at least a few hundred apes Only kids were in Level 1, the young ones were in level 2 and the old ones were in level 3

The level 2s were about the saolden apes were as tall 8 feet and looked like a iant

Varian found at least a dozen auras not weaker than the ht and win' Varian perceived their levels and sighed

Thefor the aura crystals was dropped

'Patience is key for any mission'

Varian ets

"Hoo"

"Hoo"

"Hoo"

Soon, lightnings spread out from the htnings came in the shapes of clubs, sword and maces

Boom!

Boom!

Some of them fell onto trees and reduced them to ashes

The others fell into the river and Varian saw dozens of fish falling out and twitching as they died

Varian rushed into another bush as a lightning bolt burnt down the one he was hiding in

Boo the bush was charred and Varian held his breath in tension

'Not fighting Not fighting'

Even though these attacks weren't fatal to him, the point was that they were so powerful despite projected from far away

"Hoo"

"Hoo"

The commotion continued, and Varian shi+fted to a safer place He took his tiure out their routine and soon; he was clear

Every day, a few hunter groups, er apes, would head towards different sections of the forest and hunt their prey

The Level 3 golden apes olden apes were always guarding the entrance to a cave at the foot of the roup would bring in a severely injured ape and it would be sent through that guarded entrance

'The cave ue

With level 3s protecting it, the difficulty of olden apes were fully aware that they were sitting on a treasure and guarded it with all their strength Varian even suspected there were more Level 3 Apes inside They would be a fool to not practice in a cave full of aura crystals

An aura crystal mine to boot

Aura crystals were formed naturally The denser the aura, the more the probability of aura crystal formation When a threshold was reached, the aura crystals would be called an aura crystal mine

Varian had never seen one Even their locations were secretive

In Human Federation, all aura crystal mines were state-owned While the Abyssals had aura mines as well
