Sam just waved his hand and two large figures appeared on either side of him.
*ROAR*
*HOWL*
The Golden Ape and Raiju as they roared and howled to the sky. They looked at the rest of the cultivators that are surrounding with hostility. Arman also ca forward from the valley and took out his saber as he looked at them.
Praneeth was stunned for a second. He was clearly nervous before as he crushed his token too late.
He was worried that the person he needed to be here wouldn’t be able to reach this place in ti. He is thinking of ways to stall for ti. But before he could react two beasts and a man are standing out.
Chatur hesitated for a bit and even he ca to stand beside Sam.
The cultivators halted in their tracks. They could clearly see from the auras of the beasts and the killing intent oozing out of them, that they could do so critical damage. There would definitely be so lives lost. But no one was willing to lose their own life first.
Ape took this chance and made Sam drink the heavenly wine so that he could recover.
Praneeth also ca forward and joined the team before saying.
"These are my people, you better back off."
He said with confidence, but only he knew that he is not confident at all. Because, he knew that once they got enough fruits if the party who stole from them escaped and gifted them to another noble family, they would definitely offer them enough protection to escape.
The other noble families might not start a war, but they could easily make a few people disappear from their sight and things would be troubleso. If they really made a move, with around forty people around, there is definitely a threat to his life.
He is actually nervous. He looked at Sam and was surprised to see that he was recovering at a visible rate.
He understood that if Sam only took the fruits, with his endurance he could have harvested four to five easily.
He just had to take down the whole tree. On top of that, now he is easily recovering. There is a chance for them to escape even if they couldn’t fight. But the next mont, he was stunned.
A person wanted to sneak attack on Sam, but Raiju and Ape got furious and jumped at him.
Sam sat up and casually drunk wine as the conflict broke out and the two beasts fought ruthlessly. He only decided to use the two of them, because the other beasts have the natural disadvantage in this environnt.
That is not because of the Miasma.
There is no Miasma here and then he understood that the nature of this planet itself is completely different from the rest of the Naga Loka for so unknown reason.
The disadvantage is actually due to the think tal and lightning essence. In this area particularly the lightning essence is too much.
The rest of the beasts might be able to survive, but it is not a good idea to let them fight.
As for these two beasts, Raiju is good, and the Ape is of neutral elent. So, he has the least suppression other than Raiju.
The two beasts didn’t hesitate at all and attacked in full power as they tore through their enemies. Arman also joined in the action and even Chatur started throwing the grenades. Sam gave him a lot of grenades.
There are too many left with him.
He didn’t have much combat strength, so all he can do is throw them. But these grenades are quite a surprise and created so serious damage.
The battle is one-sided. But not in the way praneeth expected. After a few monts, he ca out the daze and he also joined in his attack.
His thods are quite different as he is attacking with lightning and tal combined. His body is generating tal spikes that are being shot. Generally, it is hard to create projectile attacks with tal elent users, but this guy can do because of his lightning elent.
It is almost like they are being hit by taser bolts. But these bolts too powerful that they could kill if they are hit in proper places.
The battle reached the final stages soon. But at this mont, man could be seen coming towards them on a large tiger like beast.
When Sam was this, he was surprised, because this is the only tiger that was closest to the normal tiger from modern earth. At least in terms of looks.
It has golden yellow fur with black stripes, but golden-yellow electric sparks are crackling around it.
A man is standing on top of the tiger and his aura is extrely powerful. When they looked at the person, all the attackers ran away.
Sam also recovered quite a bit and stood up before stretching a bit. He let Ape go in first and fed so wine to Raiju to let him heal the injuries he got. He beca energetic instantly as the damage is not that bad.
He waved a hand and three fruits are thrown towards Praneeth.
"I think our deal is complete. Don’t forget that not only did you agree for to keep the rest of the harvest. You also agreed to provide safety."
Sam’s words were laced with hidden aning. He is clearly telling him to not forget the deal and try to get the tree for himself. All the fruits inside belongs to Sam now.
Sam looked at Arman and said.
"Tell when you are about to breakthrough, I will give the fruits to you."
Arman just nodded in agreent.
The man on the tiger already reached the area and greeted praneeth before looking at Sam and others.
"Bro, these are my guests, I want you to stay with until I return to the Union dinsion again. Keep us safe."
Praneeth said casually and the man nodded. He didn’t seem like a person who talks much.
But Sam is not interested in him, he is looking at the tiger. He couldn’t recognize the tiger at all. It seed to be a cross-breed between two different types of tigers and it is not registered in the Beastiary in Sam’s hands.
This is sothing unexpected and surprising as the Beastiary was created by a God level person. Then that ans, this beast has to be quite recent or this planet has to be quite remote that the person who created the Beastiary ignored this place completely.
They started their journey once again and Sam focused on his recovery. He didn’t want to stay in this place much longer. Everything is tallic here and even Sam who is crazy over tal resources, couldn’t bring himself to like this place.
This place might not just be useful for warriors and lightning users’ training, this might even give them so ntal training. It is too hard to live in this place. Even the breeze is sharp and oozing tallic scent. Sam has an urge to even wear a breathing device.
After traveling for another day, they arrived a mountain.
It is a tal mountain and there is a constant lightning strikes on the peak.
There are several bird type beasts flying around over various regions of the mountain.
The Birds are electric blue in color and even their feathers are shaped differently. From afar they looked like lump of lightning clouds flying.
But Sam recognized these beasts and he a bit surprised.
Because, they are Thunder Birds. Just like how a fire bird is a lesser version of the Phoenix, the wyvern is a lesser version of the dragon, these Thunder Birds are lesser version of the Thunder Phoenix.
These are extrely proud creatures and due to their higher grade of bloodline, they shouldn’t be beasts that truly belonged to Naga loka.
When he ca to this thought, he highly suspected if this planet is even part of the Naga Loka. After all, there is only the connection between the six planets through the Union Dinsion and no one can guarantee these planets belong to the sa Solar system.
At least, he is confident that the Fysi, Nagin and rman are of the Naga Loka, but he is not sure if they are really neighboring planets. Even the dinsional drifter doesn’t have much information as he couldn’t gauge the distance between them with just coordinates alone as he is not sure the how long a unit coordinate in that system is.
He shook his head to let go of his confusing thoughts and looked at Praneeth.
"I want one of those beasts, if you could capture one and help ta it, I will give you the mushroom. Even if you can’t I will ask for sothing else, but the price could be quite high."
"Why do you want them so much?"
"They are the only beasts that could be indifferent to all the lightning storms in the sky. Our planet doesn’t allow us to fly unless the beasts are of Transcendent level or higher. But these beasts make it possible.
No matter what cultivation level they have, they can at least reach a certain altitude.
Many people tried to capture, but they are too aloof. They wouldn’t even do anything if you go on to the mountain and try to entice it, even if you battle one beast, unless it is on verge of death, other beasts wouldn’t interfere.
But once the beast didn’t like you and gave the ssage, the beasts would let their companion go no matter how strong you are.
Even consummate level cultivators, tried to capture a low-level beasts, but no one know where they ca from, but a bunch of Consummate realm beasts attacked and killed him. Legend says that the lightning on the peak is actually caused by a beast beyond Consummate level. So, no one dared to be cocky in this area.
Are you confident?" Praneeth looked at Sam as he asked.
