Chapter 396 Enrino and Enran

The truck travelled for four hours through the beaten path and covered a distance of eighty kilometres. This was already fast when compared to the rough routes filled with intercepting enemies.

Inala observed to the side, noticing the number of trucks had reduced significantly by now, 'It seems most of them require resources available in the Empire's vicinity.'

"Sir, we're approaching the territory of the Enrino." One of the drivers that had been resting climbed up to the top compartment where Inala and Wittral were seated to say, "Usually, people coming this far would be accompanied by an entourage. We want you to take care as it'll become dangerous from here onwards."

"Alright, noted." Wittral nodded and watched the driver return to his seat. He then grabbed the vial handed to him by Inala and drank it, "A Water Slip?"

"It has all the information I have about this place." Inala nodded. Most of the information present in the Water Slip was taken from Fhoong Brimgan. The rest simply consisted of information he heard by mingling with the travellers.

When a haired beauty approached them for a chat, many were happy to oblige. And this extended to even the women. However, most of their questions were regarding how Inala could grow and maintain such a pretty head full of hair.You can trace the roots of this content at n0v@lbin

"Sweet." Wittral nodded as he activated Mystic Mist Art and comprehended all the information available in the Water Slip. He then stared outside and muttered, "The Enrinos are a surprisingly weak race in comparison to the area they control."

Expert Iron Grade Pranic Beast—Enrino!

They had bodies made out of bark, with the head and arms resembling a leaf each. They had thin bodies, almost hair-like, barely reaching a height of two metres at their tallest. In a forest setting, they were capable of fully camouflaging themselves on the trees.

Enrinos survive by drinking tree sap and having an occasional diet of fruits. When they eat the fruits, they germinate the seeds, and once they shit out the excreta, a new sapling blooms out of it. Thanks to their interaction, the forest vegetation would be maintained lusciously.

Enrinos were a non-aggressive race and lived in peace. In terms of physical might, they were batshit weak, primarily reliant on camouflage to escape detection. While drinking tree sap, they were capable of circulating that through their skin, appearing no different to trees in the Prana detection methods of their predators.

Primary Nature—Satellite!

This was what they relied upon in case a predator managed to detect their existence and attack them. By drinking tree sap, the Enrino gathers necessary minerals in its abdomen and selects one based on its living condition.

"Yes," Inala nodded and jumped out of the truck.

The reason the Enrinos were able to carve out and maintain dominance over such a large territory in a region filled with Gold Grade Pranic Beasts was thanks to the Mutated Pranic Beasts that appeared in their race.

Mutated Beginner Silver Grade Pranic Beast—Enran!

In terms of appearance, they looked similar to an Enrino, but had an even smaller stature, reaching a metre among their tallest. Their characteristics were similar to an Enrino, but their defensive aspect was taken to the extreme, taking on an offensive nature.

Secondary Nature—Comet!

They had the same Primary Nature as the Enrino, which they used for defensive means. But they feel that lacking in protecting their territory. Whenever an Enrino feels threatened by a spike in the number of predators, more Enrans would pop up among their kind.

An Enran would refine a Satellite to be offensive, usually creating it to resemble a leaf, tree branch, a piece of bark, or a pebble and position them in the appropriate location.

A Comet's function is similar to a Satellite, but instead of defending against the predator, the moment a foreign entity comes within its range—180 metres—it slams into them like a meteor, leaving behind them a tail of dust and energy, which is why they came to be called Comets.

The Comet could exist on its own for days at a stretch without any Prana input from the Enran. Oftentimes, the Enran would leave behind a Comet at the entrance of the forest and live deep inside.

As long as it had enough Prana, it could leave behind and maintain around a dozen Comets.

Entering the territory of the Enrinos was dangerous because you wouldn't know what part of the forest was a comet. It could be a leaf, a tree bark, a piece of rock at the side, etc. Any forest item could suddenly slam into you with tremendous force and wound you seriously.

This camouflaged attack strategy was how the Enrinos prospered.
