9 A NEW TECHNIQUE ! (2/2)

In front of them was an penguin like creature. Param had to agree that this fantasy world was too good at creating weird creatures.

The penguin like creature was lean and had a humanoid figure. It had a flat beak and they looked like painfully swollen lips. It also had fingers with webs. Although it walked with a little bend, it was apparent that this was some kind of evolved beast.

Yes, it was a Sage Beast.

The two had coincidentally found the Sage Beast. The Sage Beast was clearly stunned at being found out by some other creatures and froze.

They stared at each other, and the beast while shivering showed them the middle finger.

Madhu didn't know what it meant.

”What the…” Param was shocked. Why the hell was this guy cursing at them ?

The beast saw his irritated face and made a face as if he was compromising something. Finally with a sad expression he took out something and gave it to them.

They both saw his gift and nearly staggered. It was the same purple jelly seed which was an aphrodisiac in disguise.

Madhu was speechless and embarrassed when she remembered the scene.

”Wait…” she said. ”Doesn't this mean that wooden…”

She need not complete her words. He ground trembled and they heard a familiar roar.

”Hiii !!!” the beast yelled in fear and ran towards the two with his hands above his head.

They thought he was trying to attack them. Madhu rotated her energy along a certain path and steam began to come out of her skin. Her metabolism rate increased and gave her endless strength. Param began his technique and leaped sidewards.

The Sage Beast paid no attention to them and ran through the gap between the two. The beast was really a coward.

From a distance they could see a familiar figure, a Mega Groot like the previous one they encountered before was heading their way.

”We need to inform the camp” Madhu said. A straight path from here would lead directly towards the camp. The soldiers would not be able to defeat the tree giant. Even if they handed the jelly seed over to Mega Groot, he would still kill them.

They ran swiftly towards the camp and told Claire and Yun Bao about the tree giant heading towards the camp. They omitted the part about the Sage Beast and the jelly seed as it was too troublesome to explain.

Yun Bao did not waste time and called her Druid companions.

Param was stunned again as each of them was a beauty. He was not a lustful person, the people in this world were just too good looking. If though it was a primitive world where people hardly took a bath every three days, they still looked fresh and attractive.

”Don't worry senior.” A new druid said to Yun Bao. Apparently the other Druids were Yun Bao's juniors in the Druid Shrine.

”We can finish this in one shot.” Another Druid said. She looked young, like a mother of two kids. Her crown made her look dignified in a different sense.

Yun Bao's crown made her look authorative, while this one looked like a strict mother, and a mature woman.

”We need a diversion.” Yun Bao said. It was decided that Claire, Madhu and Param would try to distract it in melee, while the army would support them from behind. Of course, for Madhu and Param, this wasn't exactly optional, and they had to test their new skills.

Mega Groot wasn't exactly a stupid creature. He occasionally stopped and looked around while scratching his cheek in confusion.

The seeds were like his progeny which had a great amount of life force. Mega Groot was born accidentally, when many factors aligned naturally and a tree gained consciousness. Usually, trees turned into Druids but instead of a Druid he was born.

Usually it was impossible for a Druid to be born in an environment like the Gateway and the Forbidden Continent. The Profound Pressure killed any progeny that was formed.

The seeds were a world treasure, and Mega Groot had a hard time keeping them safe. His child like intelligence didn't help either.

Far away he saw groups of alien humanoid creatures. He remembered how some despicable humanoid stole his seeds some months ago. That was enough to make him angry again.

He walked towards the camp, determined to wipe it out.
