Soon Fat Panther brought White Fang and others to a cave deep inside the Valley.
As spiritual beasts are not very adept in making infrastructure they mostly reside inside the caves or they live upon the giant trees.
After bringing everyone to the cave the Fat Panther said, "Distinguished guests, please wait here food and drinks would be served shortly. I will go and call my father."
"Okay, nice! This place is not bad. You can go and do your things." White Fang nodded in satisfaction. Although these caves cannot be compared to the house near Cloud Peak it's still good. At Least it's clean.
After hearing her the fat panther left the cave with an ecstatic heart.
Wahaha you are in the tribe now! Even if you are strong you cannot make big moves here.
I will go and call father after that Hehe…
The Fat Panther plotted in his heart. After exiting the cave he did not go to his father first but headed south.
After walking for 40 or 50 meters he saw a small lake with a diameter of 10 meters. Many panthers were gathered around the lake and most of them have a cultivation base of Foundation Realm.
The reason why they have gathered here is because of the lake. This lake is diluted with Low-grade Spiritual essence and the concentration of spiritual energy around this lake is high thus most of the Foundation realm panthers gather here for cultivation.
Seeing them Fat Panther shouted, "You lot! Listen to me we have some special guests today and their strength is high too so go and guard the surrounding of the cave. If any of them wants to leave then stop them."
"Understood!" All of the Foundation Realm Panther replied with confused faces.
Seeing this Fat Panther nodded in satisfaction and left the place to find his father.
After he left the panthers started to discuss among themselves.
"What's up with this retard?"
"Aren't they distinguished guests? Then why are we supposed to guard against them?"
"That wasteral must have done something stupid once again and we have to help him clean his ass."
"Humph! Isn't it because his father has entered the Core Formation realm? If not for that old Bastard I would have killed this idiot long ago."
"Shh! Keep your voice down. If someone heard us then it would be hard to keep your life."
"I am not afraid! Humph, I will enter the Core Formation realm sooner or later."
Soon all the panthers started moving towards the direction of the cave where White Fang and others were staying.
From their conversation, it's obvious that this tribe is not unified and many panthers have different ideas.
….
Inside the cave, Celli picked up Snowball and said softly, "Go snowball look for resources. Be careful don't get caught by them."
Snowball nodded and disappeared by using teleportation.
"Eh? Where did the snowball go?" White Fang saw the snowball disappearing and asked curiously.
"He is gone for a pee." Celli gave a random reason.
"Ohh" White Fang just nodded and started looking around the cave.
Seeing this Valor and Celli sighed a breath of relief. While Menna pouted with an aggrieved face.
I want to be a robber too!
....
After giving instructions to the Foundation realm panthers The Fat panther moved deeper in the forest located in the north.
His father lives in this green forest and the most important facilities of the tribe like treasure house, training ground, etc are located in this forest too.
His Father as a Core Formation realm expert guards this place personally and no one can enter this place without his authorization, not even him, His son.
Fat Panther did not enter the forest rashly and stopped outside.
"Father, I am here." He first announced his presence and waited for his father's response.
"Little bastard, what are you doing here? Rather than wasting time you should cultivate." An old voice sounded from the forest as a panther emerged from it. This Panther is old as much of his fur has turned white.
Although it may look like he was scolding the fat panther, his voice was full of doting.
The Fat Panther was used to the attitude and said hurriedly, "Father the situation is serious today that's why I was not cultivating…"
Saying thus he talked about the arrival of Valor and his speculation about their visit.
"You mean someone named Valor wants to borrow hands and take revenge against you?" The Old Panther narrowed his eyes and the aura around his body became dangerous.
"Yes! Yes! Father, they wanted to beat me! It's good that I am smart otherwise you might not have a chance to see me wu wu wu …" The Fat Panther added oil to the fire as he acted miserably and his face was full of tears.
"Damn! Just a few Foundation realm beasts and they dare to have I'll thoughts about you? Do they treat me as nothing? Son, don't worry, I will settle this account for you." The face of Old Panther became gloomy after hearing him and he said this venomously.
Hearing him the Fat panther was overjoyed in his heart as he cheered.
Humph! Humph! Were you cocky back then? Now my father is supporting me. I will make you miserable.
"Okay, father! Let's go, I will take you to them." The Fat Panther became impatient as brought the Old Panther toward the location where White Fang and others were staying.
"Okay! Let's go." The Old Panther nodded as both of them disappeared into the forest.
After both of them left, Snowball appeared near the forest.
"Eh! This place should contain treasure. Hehe, it was the right choice to follow that fatty. Now I can loot- No borrowing all the resources." Snowball said with glee as a mischievous smile appeared on his face. Previously he didn't have any clue that he followed the Fat Panther and finally heard their conversation.
"Core Formation realm is out of my expectations but whatever. White Fang and Menna can handle them. So I must look for all the resources here." Snowball mumbled to himself as he entered the forest with teleportation.
"Resources ~ herbs~ Where are you?~ I am hungry~ tell me, Where are you?~" Snowball hummed a little song as he searched the forest looking for the resources.
"Hmm found ya!" Snowball exclaimed in surprise as he saw a herb that looked like a mushroom not far away from him.
This mushroom was bright red and there were many black spots on it. He found it because of the active spiritual fluctuations around it.
"Mushroom? A good soup can be made from. this plump mushroom." Snowball wiped the saliva from his mouth and mumbled.
"Aaya! I don't know its name but it should be a high-grade mortal herb." Snowball didn't waste his brain cells by thinking about this meaningless stuff as he stuffed the mushroom in his storage vault.
"It's a good start! Now let's find more resources." Snowball thought to himself cheerfully.
"Aye! Another High-grade mortal herb! Not bad."
"This place should be a treasure land! I found a Low-Grade Earth herb wahaha…"
"Low-grade mortal herb? Barely good…"
"More mushrooms? Good more ingredients for the soups.."
"...."
In just three minutes Snowball found more than 10 High-grade Mortal herbs, Three low-grade earth herbs, and numerous low-grade and middle-grade Mortal herbs.
"Is that it? It's too rubbish, these guys are too poor!" Snowball stood on the ground with a disdainful face as he was very dissatisfied.
He searched for the whole forest and he only found a small number of herbs. He never thought that these people would be so poor!
He can eat all of this stuff alone!
"Eh? What's that?" Suddenly I saw a gap in the tree not far away from him and got near with curiosity.
The vines and leaves densely covered this tree trunk. After removing the vines and leaves Snowball was stunned.
"Woah! A tunnel? A tunnel inside a trunk?" The whole trunk was hollow and there was a tunnel beneath the tree that led to an unknown destination.
"Is there treasure inside? Hmm, maybe this is the real treasure-house?" Snowball's eyes lit up after thinking about this as he entered the tunnel without any hesitation.
As for fear? This word does not exist in his dictionary!
This tunnel was three meters long and one meter wide and Snowball saw claw marks on the wall of the tunnel.
At the end of the tunnel Snowball saw a bright light and looking ahead he was stunned.
At the end of the tunnel is a circular room with a diameter of 30 meters. The whole room was made from grey stones and there was lighting inside the cave.
But this is not the reason why Snowball was stunned.
The reason why he is stunned is because of the content inside the room.
Many different herbs are piled around the rooms and it has formed a small hill! And their level is not low. Most of them are Mid grade Mortal herbs and there are many high-grade Mortal herbs and Earth-grade mortal herbs.
Snowball gulped seeing so many herbs together as he said in a trembling voice.
"I am rich?"
