158 Ruins (2/2)

They were aware who was the closest in breaking through to become a Super Saiyan, so they picked them out to engage against this bear and future threats. From the roar, they were already somewhat aware of its strength and it wouldn't be too much to ask those to kill it with the help of Luch.

If this forest didn't contain any danger, they would just move through it and explore the land. If it did, however, they would nurture more Super Saiyans to increase the competence of the overall group.

Of course, there were also some people of other races, but those wouldn't be able to have this kind of jump in strength in a short amount of time, so they ignored them for now and gave them other tasks where they would be more beneficial.

They didn't have to wait long for them to kill the bear and the other elites quickly dissect it and threw it on the food pile, they were carrying with them.

Ki was especially beneficial for these kinds of moments as they didn't need long to barbeque the meat.

Broly had slightly adjusted the route towards the location he felt the sensation coming from. He had first asked the others about it, but none of them was able to sense something.

It was like it was specifically calling for Broly.

In a single day they had crossed a long distance and encountered some beasts that considered them as food, but in the end were only added to their food pile.

Broly looked up and saw that the nebula was dimming and with it he had called the end of the day. With the help of the elves, they were able to easily find a water source to drink from.

They put up a camp not far from the pond they found and had quite the feast before they went to sleep with a few elites on guard.

In the night the S-Fighters and Luch were responsible as the captain in the night and would make sure that the area was secure.

Broly, of course, knew that they could go on for some days without sleep, water or food, but that wouldn't be a wise thing to do in their situation. He didn't know if he could leave this place before the first person collapsed or if they could escape at all.

Broly had already pried deep into the nebula or at least tried to and he wasn't sure if they would be able to go through it. Besides there was the problem that they couldn't fly anymore.

Broly suspected that they could jump off the edge of this island and then fly but for now they were bounded to the rules of the island. He would first figure out what Solutus wanted. It most certainly had something to do with the connection that he felt.

On the next day they advanced deeper into the island and the deeper they went the stronger the beasts became. Additionally, even without his vision of truth Broly felt the lifeforce around them getting richer. There were plenty of fruits around them and animals seemed to thrive here even more. The bodies of every animal became stronger and tougher.

Every fruit and piece of meat they ate seemed to give them more energy to go on longer than before. Since the new day, they had walked through the forest for a few hours already and what greeted them was surprising.

Ruins of buildings that nature had reclaimed were laid out in front of them. There were some statures scattered around and above something that resembled an entrance door were some markings that seemed to be letters. Of course, most markings were only found in pieces on the ground and could only be assembled back together to know its meaning, if someone understood the language that is.

Broly had a frown on his face as he looked at the markings carved into the strange stone. He could tell that the stone that the buildings were made of were incredible tough, but also had already endured the passage of time.

Broly picked up a piece and touched the markings, which immediately started to glow slightly. These letters looked very similar to the pictures in the temple on Perditus. Broly was now sure. These buildings were created by that ancient civilization, the original owners of the Origin Crystals.
