Inside an extreround castle carved into the northern side of thein front of three old people These three old people sat on large chairs made out of black bones
Part of these three old people were two old women, which occupied the chair in the ht, and an old man which sat on the chair to the left
The old woman in the middle was heavily dressed with e, and the corruption on her body was as heavy as the oldwith Daniel She represented the scholars of the tribe
The oldon the armrest of his chair, was an enormous monster tooth which had been carved to the shape of a rudireatsword He sat on the chair to the left, and represented the defenders of the city, or how they would be called in Daniel's words The warriors His body was coreyish color
The clothes of the second and last old woman's weren't heavy, but her body was fully covered Despite her age, she seeround next to her chair, she kept a bow and a quiver filled with arrows The corruption on her body was alhter grey color She represented the hunters

In front of the with his two sons and the rest of his hunting party
”Tellat the head hunter
”He seehtly worse His fighting abilities cannot even be compared to that of our oarriors, in fact I mean no disrespect sir, but I doubt there is anyone ould be able to match him in hand to hand combat skills if at the same level of power” Responded the head hunter
”Your words do not surprise me What would a hunter know How do you know he isn't a member of our race that found a way to avoid contahtly irritated by the ed man's words
”His skin is Well it's not naturally grey like ours It' rosy Plus, he emanates a power very different from our aura There is no doubt that he isn't part of our race”
”Where is he now?” Asked the old woman that sat in the middle chair
”As per protocol, we have handed hihter, Scholar Lara” Said the ed man, then, after a brief pause, he added ”Now, if you will excuse us, we have to prepare for our next hunting trip”

”He did, but after my son coo” Said the old woroups of hunters left, the representant of the scholars called a young woman which aitin to the side, and once she approached, said ”Go and help scholar Lucious and scolar Lara in their work Keep us updated in anything that happens”

”So, you're telling st the h to rule thees' is within their area?” Asked Daniel with a stifled expression
”That's about right” Responded the old man plainly
Daniel looked at the old man with as much seriousness as he could ic', sounds exactly like the type of power that I was talking about Spiritual essence If there was a connection to the spiritual plain in this world Not only would you be able to train your spirit, but would also become immune from the corruption”
”How can you be so sure that ill be able to use this spiritual essence to cultivate? We don't even have a similar unique power We could be unable to” Responded the oldalive has a spirit But you are right, you wouldn't be able to use it for the same reason monsters and beasts froetic tone
The ed into one of disappointment Until he heard Daniel's next words
” You need a weak body to cultivate the spirit This means that only your children would be able to”
The face of the oldof it for a bit, he turned back to his previous disappointment ”It doesn't matter Our children won't be able to cultivate it before they'll be corrupted by the food They'll need food before they'll be able to strengthen the, he looked back at Daniel He then noticed the extremely wide smile that had appeared on his face, and Daniel's eyesthe pit of the fruit
”There is no way that you have enough clean food for an entire generation of our people to survive” Said the old man with a bit of irritation
Daniel looked back at him with a smile wider than before, and said ”Want to bet?”
The old man truly didn't believe that Daniel could pull this off That he could save his entire tribe Or better Race Unfortunately, they had no chance The corruption had taken over the world, and if they did nothing, sooner or later, the tribes would be wiped out one after the other
”Alright I'll talk about it with the Triumvirate”
”What is that?” Asked Daniel with curiosity
”The three leaders of our tribe The head sholar, the chief hunter, and the strongest of warriors” Responded the old man in an explanatory tone
Daniel's brows arched in curiosity, as he asked ”What do you need warriors for?”
”We are not the only tribe around You are lucky we have found you Or you ht have been inside the cauldron of any of the other cannibalistic tribes in the surroundings”
