Chapter 308: Miscalculated
STOP!
The monster stopped and looked at Miles with questioning eyes. The intruder was talking the language, only the humanoids could speak. Since he could, he must have been acquainted with its boss.
Miles couldnt use energy now, even the smallest fluctuation in the energy would alert two beasts, giving away his location. So, although he had at least a few ways to stop the monster across him, even if he couldnt beat it, he dared not to use energy.
Boss sent me. I am here to secure the fruits, as the assailant is too strong. Miles couldnt speak the language fluently, but thanks to the interpretation in his mind, he could at least pronounce the words. The monster looked at Miles with a tilt of its head and nodded its head.
You enter the sea and open a path for me. I dont want other monsters to slow me down. Miles ordered. The seal monster looked at the tree and remembered its bosss orders. It couldnt move from the tree under any circumstances. Miles realized the hesitation and questions forming in the seal-like monster's eyes, and started to panic. He removed the cloth covering the back of his arm and showed the tattoo he carved on his arm with energy. Although it wasnt as vivid as the humanoid monsters, it was still vaguely the same. Seal monster looked at it in fear and nodded profusely.
Miles heaved a sigh of relief and moved to the tree. The hole underneath the ship reached out endlessly. Because of the dark sea, Miles couldnt see where the body of the tree led to, but that wasnt important. The most important thing was the fruits on the tree.Upstodatee from n(0)/ve/lbIn/.(co/m
There were a total of 6 fruits on the tree. They were all transparent like glass and looked beautiful. Although their forms were different, they looked like variations of apples.
Miles wasnt sure if they had ripened or not, but he couldnt waste his time. The tremor was getting stronger by the second, and the cries of the crocodile were getting lesser and lesser. The fight would end soon. Miles grabbed the fruits and placed them in a portable vacuum bag before closing them tightly. He jumped onto the sea from the hole and looked around.
Lets run. Humanoid is returning to the ship. Miles said and started to run with everything he had with Zall and Xavic in tow. Monsters stopped chasing them after some time and also returned to the ship.
You got it right? Xavic smirked as he caught up with Miles. Miles shows them the vacuum bag with a smile.
Six of them! Zall smiled brightly too.
We can have two each, Miles answered. They worked together, and each played a critical role, so it was only fair for them to share the fruits evenly.
The other two didnt argue and agreed. When they were only a few kilometers away a roar came from the ship.
Shit. Miles cursed and ran faster.
It is too late now, you stupid beast, Xavic shouted back but the next second, he froze on his feet. A shooting star came from the ship's direction and sped towards them. Then it landed fifty meters ahead of them and stuck on the ground. It was the phantom trident, and the humanoid monster was on top of it.
It looked at Miles and others with its eyes bloody and was looking at Miles with his eyes emitting bloodthirst.
