Chapter 368 Sumatra Gold Skeleton

"But Dad," Gannala expressed confusion upon recalling a certain piece of information, "Wouldn't we risk entering that place if we were to dig underground?"

"We'll all die miserable deaths if that were to happen."

"It's not an issue." Inala patted the ground, "We're not making a tunnel system here."n((o.-v.-E-/l--b()I--n

"Then..." Gannala trailed off before muttering in disbelief, "You don't mean?"

"Yup, we'll be making it in the Brimgan Empire." Inala explained himself, "There are plenty of Pranic Beast habitats within the Empire. You can camp at one such place and continue to grow without issues."

"It'll be risky, Dad." Gannala expressed her nervousness, "A slight misstep and we'll have the Brimgan Empire Royals chasing after us. We're severely disadvantaged against their range."

"I know." Inala nodded, "You'll mostly be fed resources by the Empyrean Zingers through the tunnel system. You'll live in a city like normal. Only when you need to move around in your Pranic Beast form would you leave the city."

"Besides," He grinned, "Asaeya will always be at your side. In the worst-case scenario, you can glide away on an Empyrean Zinger while she blinds our enemies."

"Got it." Gannala nodded.

Inala finished emptying his biome and addressed Gannala and Asaeya, "I'll be going ahead with Wittral. We'll coincidentally run into each other in Fentan City and become neighbours."

"Got it. We'll stick to the plan." Asaeya nodded, practically hanging from his neck as her gaze was heated. She then inched closer to him and whispered, "Don't you think I'm old enough now?"

"Let's talk about it once we settle into our lives here," Inala said, acting ignorant of her frustration. 'Having a second child at this point will stress me out further.'

Honestly, he was surprised Asaeya had held herself back for as long as she did. But she was already at the tipping point now. Mammoth Clan women had a child when they were sixteen years old. Asaeya was now nineteen. At her age, her peers had at least a couple of children.

The Sumatra Gold would influence his body over time and keep improving it. And when the Bolt of Transcendence hits him, it will fuse everything in his body into him, completing his evolution to reach his endgame build.

Patting his slightly bloated stomach, Inala placed Asaeya's gentle threat to the back of his mind and walked through the wild for a couple of minutes before meeting Wittral, "It's done. Were you waiting for long?"

"Your complexion looks better now." Wittral asked, "What had you done?"

"Touch my stomach and feel for yourself." Inala smiled.

"You...sure?" Wittral asked with a slightly reddened face as he placed his hand on Inala's stomach and seeped in his Prana. A moment later, his face hardened as he muttered in shock, "W-What is that material?"

"Is its information not available in your inheritance?" Inala tilted his head in surprise.

"Wait, let me check. I feel like I have seen it somewhere before." Wittral clutched his head and thought long and hard before muttering in disbelief as he stared at Inala, whispering in response, trying to be as secretive as possible, "Sumatra Gold?"

"Seriously?" He found it hard to believe when Inala nodded, "How many?"

"Three," Inala said, watching Wittral suck in a deep breath in response.

"How did you find that much?" He asked in shock.

'I have to thank Gudora for that. He extracted it from the body of a Centinger he had hunted during the Mating Season a century ago.' Inala thought and gave a one-word answer, "Mudropper."

Centingers typically ate moss and other marine plant life that grew on the riverbed. The Centinger hunted by Gudora had swallowed the three pieces of Sumatra Gold that had drifted to that location possibly due to a river current.

The location might have been a node for the Sumatra Gold to accumulate. And these three pieces were all that was present in the Red-Draft River itself. As Gudora had some knowledge regarding an ancestor of the Brimgan Empire that succeeded in fusing Sumatra Gold into his Human Avatar, he intended to do the same, which was why he stored the three pieces in his treasury and didn't even relay the news to his father—Fhoong Brimgan.

Inala had looked through the entire Sanrey Plains and only found these three pieces. That was a testament to their value and rarity. After all, Sumatra Gold was the sole Mystic Grade mineral that was available on Sumatra Continent.
