The night was a time for rest. But in the forest, it was just the start of a new shift for a new force of workers. In the same terms, it also must be mentioned that night was the time when the "fiercest" work took place, literally.And Anom was currently traveling through the forest while trying his best not to disturb the "workers," who were resting after the day shift, and the night-shift workers, who were currently working.After his improvement in skills and strength, Anom found it easier to travel through the forest as compared to before.At the moment, he was traveling towards the rock salt deposits. It was the only place he knew about where humans visited frequently. Besides, he had also seen some traces of a beaten path that had formed due to people visiting that place frequently.He was training his movement techniques as he traveled. He felt a lot more confident about contacting other humans now that he was stronger than before.Although he knew that he would not amount to m

Crystal felt her head spinning as she woke from her sleep. And while there was no sharp pain, she felt her whole body aching. It was normal considering how she had overexerted herself while fighting the black-clothed men. Thinking of the fight, she tried her best to sit up and take a look at her current situation. She sat up after much effort while trying to ignore the pain and soreness in her muscles. Crystal took a deep breath to calm her mind and looked around. At first she was confused by her surroundings. It looked like a cave but the surface was… wooden? She touched the wooden walls and realized she was inside a hollow tree. She nodded. Well, checking the surroundings was done. Next was checking the condition of her body. Crystal looked down at herself. She was surprised to find many black clothes wrapped around her body. They were covering all the places where she had suffered injuries. She was startled as she quickly checked her clothes. She also checked the bandages wr

"Are you sure that's a good idea?" asked Crystal, uncertain."We have to distract them and reduce the number around the hive before charging in directly. That's the only way. Besides, they don't have any attack power. I just have to be fast enough to prevent too many of them gathering over me. Don't worry. We'll run if we don't succeed." Anom reassured her. They didn't have much time to waste, so this was the fastest way.Crystal weakly nodded and asked, "Then what will you use to distract them?"Anom chuckled at the question and looked towards the young Tremor Bear. The beast looked back and bared its teeth, trying to put on a smiling expression.Crystal was exasperated, "And you said you were not a tamer. Look how you brainwashed the poor beast into agreeing to be the bait. It even looks happy."Anom almost laughed out loud, "It's happy because it thinks that I'm going to follow the plan it suggested.""What plan?" Crystal was curious about the plan a young beast could make."He sai

"There are many ways they can use to manipulate your family members." Anom thought for a while before continuing, "They can cause some internal strife among the upper echelon. But that's just a basic method and I think your parents must already be prepared for such things. Other than that, your enemies can also make some of your family members think that your family has no chance of surviving in this clash. Then they will your give them some false hope that your family can only survive by surrendering and making your people force your parents to surrender. I don't know, the enemy is in an advantageous situation if we only consider the information we have on hand." He shook his head as he began wondering if he could enjoy himself after joining this mess. Meanwhile, Crystal began trembling. Tears were forming at the corners of her eyes as her breathing became irregular. Anom noticed her reaction and became anxious. The girl had started panicking. 'Damn it! I shouldn't have said it lik

This was the moment when he really felt that he had come to another world. But the hustle-bustle here also looked so familiar that he almost thought that he had returned to Earth.But it was just a moment as the different styles and appearances of the people here welcomed the otherworldly traveller to this new world.'Nulis City, huh? Finally, I'm here.'Anom took a deep breath and began following after Crystal, whose steps seemed to have gained a spring as she joyfully hopped towards her home.Suddenly, he felt some movement behind him. Although they were faint, Anom was already able to detect minor disturbances that didn't fit with the natural vibe of a place. This ability of his was strengthened further after he began gaining control over his internal energy.That's why, while the movements behind him were minute, they didn't escape his notice. Anybody else would have considered them as a part of the city noise. But Anom recognised those footsteps which seemed to be travelling thro
