Chapter 728: Keshe is in a critical condition?

Ajax was in a hurry to leave Gaimont's territory because he got a new system mission while explaining about the battle beasts formation altar to the spirit beasts which had no bloodline in them.

'Ding,

Mission name:- Save the princess.

Information:- Keshe had met with an accident while undergoing the re-cultivation process. Her condition is deteriorating with each passing second.

Rewards:- 1) energy orb which could increase the host's cultivation by a single minor realm.

2) The gratitude of the Forest Fairy King, Geron.

Danger rating:- None

Time limit:- One hour.

As soon as he read the new system mission, he didn't bother about anything else and rushed towards the middle section of the cursed wilderness while using his level 1 lightning cloud steps.

'Since I don't know the location of King Geron, I can only do that,'

The moment he entered the middle section of the cursed wilderness, Ajax thought of an idea to find out about King Geron's location.

'Swoosh'

With that thought in his mind, he found a rank 5 spirit beast that was lazing around in a distance.

'Pak'

'Thud'

It was a mischievous monkey that likes to fool with every spirit beast. So, Ajax didn't give any time for it before hitting it.

After a round of hitting, Ajax stopped and asked the mischievous monkey, "So, where does your king Geron live? As long as you take me there, I will heal all your injuries."

For spirit beasts like mischievous monkeys, you have to tame them first before asking them any question; otherwise, they will continue to fool around with you.

'Keek keek'

The monkey didn't dare to fool around them fearing that the human in front of it might kill if it fools with him.

Soon, it shouted at Ajax and asked him to follow it.

"Good,"

Ajax revealed a slight smile as he followed it and within a few minutes, the monkey took him to a place with many huge trees and pointed at the huge tree in the center, and jumped up and down.

"Are you saying, it is the place where your king lives?"

Ajax guessed its words from its reaction and nodded his head.

"Take this pill and if we are lucky, let's meet again,"

While saying that, Ajax threw a green-coloured pill towards the mischievous monkey before walking towards the tree pointed by the monkey.

'Keek'

The monkey looked at the pill in its eyes and then took another glance at Ajax's back view before running away from that place in a hurry.

For some reason, the monkey felt its heart was beating very fast from the moment it touched the pill.

So, without wasting any time, it rushed towards its safest place to consume the pill before any other powerful spirit beast could take it from its hands.

…..

As for why Ajax gave it an advanced essence pill was because he hit the monkey a little too much and the injuries on its body were more than he expected.

'I am still not used to control my strength,'

Ajax bitterly shook his head as he thought to himself before trying to knock the tree trunk a couple of times.

'Swoosh'

However, before he could lightly knock the tree trunk, a few spirit beasts in the form of humans landed on the ground.

"What are you trying to do?"

One of the middle-aged men in green-robes walked forward and asked Ajax with a serious look on his face.

"I am here to see big sister Keshe,"

Ajax didn't have any time to waste on fighting then as he directly came to the point, "She is in a critical situation and she might die within half an hour."

"Stop talking non-sense, our king said that princess Keshe is recovering from her injuries," The same old man in green robes continued to say, "By the way, how do you know that princess Keshe was injured? Who are you actually?"

All of a sudden, the hostility coming from the fairy guardians and generals increased to an extreme range.

However, Ajax didn't know what to answer on how he was able to know that Keshe was injured.

"Everyone, disperse,"

While Ajax was thinking of a suitable answer, a voice came from the distance and asked everyone who was about to attack Ajax anytime.

"But minister….,"

However, the fairy generals felt suspiciousness from Ajax. So, they tried to say a few more things; however, they were interrupted by the newcomer.

"There is no need to worry about all those things. He is the friend of princess Keshe and a benefactor of the fairy kingdom,"

The newcomer was none other than Ceru, the minister of the fairy kingdom.

How could he allow someone to attack Ajax? Are they capable of offending that existence who could casually give a re-cultivation technique?

Moreover, Ajax himself had given some pills called 'Advanced essence pills' to Keshe. So, of course, Ajax was considered a benefactor of the fairy kingdom.

"Yes, minister,"

After hearing Ceru's words, all the fairy guardians and fairy generals nodded their heads before going back to their works.

"Elder, you are…,"

"I am Keshe's uncle and you don't need to worry about Keshe, she is doing perfectly alright."

Even though Ceru knew about Ajax, Ajax didn't know a single thing about Ceru. So, he respectfully asked; however, before he could finish his sentence, Ceru interrupted them and answered his question.

"No...there is something wrong with big sister Keshe. Let me see her and I may be able to save her,"

Ajax became anxious when he heard Ceru's words and hurriedly asked Ceru to take him to see Keshe.

"Okay okay,"

Ceru nodded his head and he just thought Ajax was overly concerned for Keshe and at the same time, he thought, 'Does he have feelings for Keshe? If he really has feelings, then it's a good match.'

However, he quickly rejected that thought as he remembered that Ajax calls Keshe as his big sister. So, he changed his thoughts.

Soon, he tapped the tree trunk in rhythm and an entrance opened in the tree trunk.

'I have to save her at any cost,'

This was the only thought in his head for the entire time until he was taken to Keshe.

The reason he was in a rush to save Keshe was not for the system's reward; instead, he acknowledged Keshe as his big sister.

So, he thought to save her at any cost.

...….

"Brother, this is Ajax,"

Soon, Ajax saw a middle-aged man was sitting beside Keshe and Brave with concerned looks on his face. And as soon as they entered the place that looked like a chamber which was filled with rich wood essence of nature, Ceru introduced Ajax to the middle-aged man.

"That Ajax?"

Geron stood up and asked with a surprised look on his face.

"Yes," Ceru nodded his head and said to Ajax, "He is Keshe's father and the king of the middle section of the cursed wilderness."

"Hello, King Geron,"

Ajax politely greeted Geron as he continued without wasting any time, "Big sister's life is in a critical state. Can you please let me treat her?"

He was not too rash to directly rush to Keshe; instead, he asked permission from Geron and expectantly looked for a positive answer from him.
