Chapter 389 - The Last Piece(Part-2)

"Devraj Move to the right, Marcus to the left flank it, do not let it escape."

The trio flanked at the creature and soon Radiant Sky landed a killing blow to the creature ending its life, "Well we have our dinner boys."

The trio grinned and as Devraj bend down to pick it an arrow flew and hit the corpse as a harsh voice came to their ears, "Trespassers destroying our homeland shall be dealt with."

They turned to see a large beefy man with fur covering his modesty looking at them with anger in his eyes as his bow pointed towards them, they could have fought and taken care of the man but then they were surrounded by a dozen of them each aiming their deadly arrows towards them, seeing the men dressed in a primitive fashion they would have scoffed off and killed them if it were not for their aura that rivaled them as such Radiant Sky the ever brave and ferocious cultivator retaliated soon by raising his hand high up in the sky as he shouted out at the top of his lungs, "We surrender.", both Devraj and Marcus looked at him with disbelief as their jaws drop, even the people who had them surrounded were taken aback.

A few hours later Ryuu felt a headache forming apparently their group had managed to ran afoul with the inhabitants of the swamp when they were so close to finding the last key and moving to the next level, 'It wis like some kind of RPG a certain actions would trigger certain events don't tell me we have to help another group fight another ugh it is getting boring and repetitive.'

Devraj had just finished retelling word by word of their recent encounter as everyone turned towards Radiant Sky as many of them glared, because of his actions not only did it not save their lives but also presented them as a joke and weakling in front of the new group, it was only because of Marcus's quick thinking that they managed to escape.

"I bet they might have to last piece."

True-Spear snorted at that as he spoke, "That is a sucker's bet as far as we have seen the stronger the opponent the more are chances for another piece of the puzzle."

"So how do we tackle it?"

"Let Chasing Winds deal with it her beautiful amorous aroma might be soothing to them.", a certain redhead whispered only for his feet to get stomped by both Frost Flame and Frozen Ocean making him wince.

"What is there to think about we go and take it from them if required by force."

Ryuu looked towards the speaker as he spoke with a frown, "As much as your idea holds merit you forgot a few vital details, firstly we know nothing of their strength, numbers or anything secondly if we leave behind an overly antagonistic enemy what would you do if we were forced to retreat back to this level, we would have to fight against a very dangerous enemy for at the very least 7 and a half years not to mention in their territory."

Frost Flames closed her eyes for a brief moment before she spoke with a fierce gleam in them, "So we should try and study them."

Ryuu looked at her momentarily before he spoke with a nod, "Yes study them by spying on them we should try to learn as much of their habitat, their way of life their behavior before we strike them."

Zywia bit her lips as she spoke, "It would be difficult if not outright impossible as you said that they are natives they know this lands as such it would be difficult for us to spy on them."

Ryuu smirked at as he spoke, "Of course it would be difficult to nigh impossibility if not Eden would not be called nightmarish by our seniors, we do not know the extent of their power, we do not know how knowledgeable they are but we are no pushover and I believe as long as we stand united and together we would overcome the most bizarre and dangerous of obstacles easily."

Many of them smiled at that as Severing Saber spoke with a pleased look on his face, "Well said young man well said, as long as we stand together we would surely succeed."

Ryuu tilted his head slightly to the front as he spoke, "Well thank you for your kind words but now how do we proceed.", normally many cultivators disliked being treated as a child but he knew compared to those around him he was indeed a child.

After a lot of argument and counter argument followed by equally nerve wrecking hair splitting analysis the argument came to an end as the pangs of hunger hit them hard as a wrecking ball but before they decided to attack their lunch upon unanimous decision they had decided to follow a plan proposed by Chunyun.

Someone who was slowly becoming a popular figure amongst the group of cultivators from the looks of it compared to many included Ryuu he seemed to have come from a fairly ordinary family and had climbed through the ranks with not only hard work but extreme amount of struggle something Ryuu found worthy of respect, as whether it be this life or his previous he never had to suffer when it came to money, surely his parents in his previous life never did they want to spend a single coin his grandparents were a completely different matter the spoiled him rotten just as in this life his master does, he never had to as such struggle for monetary resources but he had not only seen but read about many as such he always held a respect for them, specially for a cultivator after all the resources consumed by them is so huge even the richest man on his previous life would not be able to afford to lead such a life.

A few hours later camouflaged Ryuu stood alongside Frost Flames as he looked at a couple of men from the tribe, well more like savages from the looks of it, they were strong that was no doubt about it but at the same time they were epitome of what according to his own words a savage, brutish, uncultured being should be, from what they had learned the tribe was patriarchal and it seemed they believed the strength is everything and as for the women well they were treated worst than cattle simple breeders nothing more nothing less I was to the point that both the cultivators blood boiled.

Frost Flames spoke with a snarl, "I hate these pigs."

Ryuu gained a solemn look on his face as he spoke, "Me too but the currently all we can only wait and observe no matter what happens do not make a move."

Frost Flames closed her eyes as she balled her fist hard nearly drawing blood only to stop as Ryuu held it tightly as he shook his head as he spoke, "I said do not do anything drastic blood smells from a long distance."

Ryuu looked to the sky as he spoke, "Well our work is done for the time being, let us return and regroup and then we could exchange stories with other scouts.", Frost Flames acquiesced with a tired sigh as they swiftly left the place.

As they reached the camp they were greeted with slight excitement, the very excitement seemed to ignite the anger into Ryuu and Frost Flames as their thoughts went to the poor women, but they manage to swallow their anger as Ryuu spoke, "Is there something wrong?"

True-Spear grinned towards Ryuu as he spoke, "Nothing is wrong Brother Ryuu Brother Amnon and Sister Daniella made a remarkable discovery today they found that there is another camp of people like them and they are incredibly hostile to each other and we are planning to make them fight each other to death."

Both Ryuu and Frost Flame's eyes widen for a fraction before they both grinned at that prospect making them fight each other before moving in for the kill."

True-Spear looked towards them with a savage grin on his face as he spoke, "Now we only have to figure out how to light the tinder and watch the bonfire without getting burned."
