In the Green Valley Inn, located in the southern border of Lero mountain.Dozens of groups occupied the seats, leaving only a few empty. Many foot disciples and outer disciples were enjoying food, alcohol, and beverages.Beast cores was the only currency taken in this inn.Fabby, Tenzai, and Gossini were seated at a corner table. Edgar, on the other hand, was at the main desk, ordering food. He just paid one strength core. After licking the core, the innkeeper, an elderly man in a leafy hat, said, “Mm, what’s the order?”“Four plates of chicken, and four mugs of honeyed lemon.”“That will cover it,” his eyes fell on Edgar. “What’s your name?”
The musculars were not allowed beyond the Green Valley Inn, so they had to be parked at the inn, and they would soon be delivered back to their respective stations they were rented from.All the mountains behind the inn and between the Great Eye were called the Worry Chains because they often worried the travelers for more than one reason.Fabby and Co were strolling along a road that had flowery gardens on either side.Fabby was asking Edgar to give Tenzai a new shirt because the current one was torn at places. However, neither Edgar nor Tenzai agreed to that. Edgar didn’t want to give another shirt for free, especially because Tenzai was just being too careless. Tenzai, on the other hand, just felt that a shirt would only come in his way.“Why are you sayin
The redback squirrels were feasting upon the barks of different trees. Whether there was dirt or mud or dung or gel or gum, they didn’t care. They just ate the whole barks, not just the insides, which showed how hungry they were in this winter season.Each of these squirrels were more the size of regular house cats, and after they had their fill, they roamed around, torturing other animals by jumping on their backs and skinning them alive. They often triggered the rhinos and the elephants that had bigger backs and took more time to fall let alone roll on the ground.When there were no beasts or creatures in their territories, they attacked each other and skinned themselves. So most of these adult squirrels had redbacks, which is where their name came from.Currently, as Fabby and Co were entering the Redback Z
The next dawn.At the edge of the Redback Zone, Fabby and Co had camped from the previous night.Fabby was the only one who slept throughout the night.Tenzai didn’t sleep at all, and he fully absorbed four strength cores overnight, and thanks to that, the wound on his arm given by a garden leech mostly healed.“Not bad. The cores of these squirrels seem to give multiple different boosts. I’m glad healing is one of them. Now I can hunt more of their kind, haha!” he laughed out loud, though not for long as no one else laughed along with him. “Ahem, anyway, I might not be able to use drive, but what about it, huh? I can still become stronger in other ways and will one day beat the living crap out of the Grebb family and then conquer the world
Leesa, who was watching them from the sky, was bored and a bit frustrated as she observed Tenzai. “I can’t believe I’m watching a trashy foot disciple train.” She painstakingly waited a few more seconds. “Ah, screw this. I’m going in!” Her swan dove straight down.“Mm?” Tenzai smashed a rabbit away and lifted his head. “What the…” A bird was coming down at him fast, but before the bird even came, Leesa jumped down and unsheathed her sword with a wide grin on her face. Red drive covered her blade.“Enemy!” Tenzai shouted.“Crescent Descent!” A slash of her sword sent a curving slash.Tenzai roared and jumped up and swept his leg at the incoming attack. “Colossal Kick!&rd
“Skull Cracker!” Reud arrived at the scene with an attack aimed at Tenzai’s head.If Tenzai had failed to hear Reud coming and didn’t roll out of the ax’s line, his head would’ve gotten split into pieces.Reud, however, continued to attack in the same manner. Tenzai continued to roll.Soon, Tenzai ended up running into a tree.Reud smiled through his eyes and swung the ax down, but this time Tenzai rolled in reverse and dodged the ax again. unlike the previous times, Reud wasn’t expecting that, so he was just a bit late in continuing his motion to resume attacking. Tenzai made use of this time pretty well by spinning on his back and kicking in Reud’s face by jumping up on his hands. The trees weren’t dry, but their leaves still burned when Leesa’s hot slashes cut the trees.“Hey, you…” Leesa said in a demanding tone. “Why don’t you show me your face? If you’re less pretty than me, then I might go easy on you.”Gossini slowly raised her hand, making Leesa think she was gonna reveal her face, but then Gossini only showed her middle finger.Leesa’s face warped in rage. “Since you want to die so badly, I’ll give you just that.” Leesa lunged at her, thrusting her sword. “Steel Sting!” Her sword whistled through the wind.“Floating Swan Arts…” Gossini moved her arms in an elegant fashion before meeting the point of the sword with her palm thrust. WHIT 158 - RISING HEAT
Fabby clapped her hands together. “Rock Burial!”Two hill-sized structures covered with spikes rose from either side of Feliz and squashed him in between as they fused into a single, bigger hill.Like a fish swimming through the water, Feliz waved his spear with his hands holding the spear at different places. The spear slithered through the rocks like a snake through a swamp, and Feliz made it out of the hill before it solidified any further.Fabby frowned. If only she was faster at merging, he wouldn’t have escaped. But there was no time to worry about her mistakes. Even though her breathing was disorderly, she did it again.“Rock Burial!”This time, the two hills were smaller than before, but
