161 Kulaan (1/2)

For the next few days the Exousians went deeper into the forests. At one point the flora started glowing in a blue shimmer, there were floating land pieces and all kinds of creatures. There were malicious treants that lured a group of Saiyans with their fruits and humanoid tree-like creatures that were glowing green and commanding different animals to attack the Saiyans.

Fortunately, Broly and the other Super Saiyans were able to rescue the elites out of numerous difficulties and with the elves they never ran out of water or places to stay. They could sense running water and easily find caves for them to stay the night. Usually those were homes of vicious beasts, but they were always able to defeat them.

A few were unluckier and lost an arm or a leg but no one until now died which was a proof that their title as elites wasn't just for show, after all, almost all beings were comparable or stronger than they were.

Of course, if they were stranded without a Super Saiyan as a support, they would have suffered far more casualties, especially early on before the first would be able to transform.

At this point Broly had already noticed the ones that were standing out in this group of elites. Most of them were able to become an elite because they had high power levels and high potential. Now the very best of them were coming into the limelight.

Broly estimated that if they stayed here for another week or two, there would be at least 3 to 7 additional Super Saiyans. Indeed, in the near future of this 50+ Saiyans, only 3 to 7 would transcend.

The others had potential as well otherwise they wouldn't be called elites, but Broly knew they would need a few months to develop under the right circumstances, which in retrospective of Saiyans' history was impressive enough.

After a week since they arrived on this island, they had headed deeper into the forest while being on constant alert of the numerous ambushes of mighty beasts.

While they were walking, they suddenly heard a roar coming from a few kilometers away.

Broly heard an elephants trumpeting coming with it. Broly usually wouldn't bother with the fights among beasts but he felt that the trumpet sound was affecting his emotions.

The sound seemed to have magic imbued in it, making anyone that heard the trumpeting fearful.

”Might as well take a look.”

With that Broly had to walk towards the battle sounds. The pressure on Broly's body hadn't lessened at all since he was on the island, if anything it got stronger as time went on. Broly first thought it was because they had moved deeper into the island, but even through the night the pressure grew. Broly didn't take long to figure out the reason.

The pressure had indeed limited his powers but under the constant pressure his body and his energies got stronger, tougher and more refined. It was not very different to a gravity chamber only that it affected his ki, magic and lifeforce as well.

Broly of course was happy to make that discovery. As long as his body could improve, the pressure would get stronger as well. It would make an ideal training ground. The only downside was that he couldn't increase the pressure manually to make the best out of a training session. There was also the nature of the pressure as its main focus is suppressing Broly's power and not to put his body under stress.

After walking for a while, they arrived. Broly saw a group of mammoths facing off a monstrous black dragon. The dragon was unlike Shenlong but had more characteristics of a western dragon. Four powerful arms with intimidating claws and two wide wings that were creating whirlwinds with every flap. The scales on his back were forming sharp spikes and its two long horns on its head made it look devilish.

The dragon was spewing out a wave of purple lighting arcs that scorched the fur and instantly paralyzed several mammoths under attack.

There were 8 adult mammoths protecting a few children in the middle. Beside them was a corpse of a younger dragon that had numerous holes in its side and a corpse of a calf with biting marks was not far away. It seemed like the young dragon tried to prey on the calf but died under the attacks of the adult mammoths. Broly intention at first was only to take a look. He didn't want to interfere but after seeing the dragon fly freely in the air, he came to quick decision.

Broly's soul enveloped his body and he immediately vanished from the spot.
