Chapter 405: Chosen one from the Herb Garden
Chapter 405: Chosen one from the Herb Garden
Sam looked at the two dead bodies on the ground. He walked to the fist Monkey warrior first and wanted to examine it first.
But as soon as he placed his hand on it, the dead body disintegrated into light particles and disappeared into thin air.
In the place of the dead body, there is a pair of fighting gloves and a pair of boots along with a scroll.
They are the spoils and the scroll turned out to be the fist arts practiced by the monkey warrior.
Sam only glanced at it and didn’t look at it further. This is not the time after all. He then walked to the Spear Monkey warrior and placed his hand. The body disappeared in the same way leaving a Spear, a pair of boots, and a scroll.
Sam stored the scroll away and placed the gloves, spear, and boots in front of him to see what is special about them.
He is looking for the resourcefulness of the monkeys. If the monkeys are resourceful enough to get high-level inscription or worse the formations and such inscribed on their weapons and accessories, then he has to re-evaluate their strengths on the battlefield.
But he didn’t find a single rune on all of them, but he did find something else. These are made of an extremely high-level metal. Black Star Gold. The metal is on par with the Meteorite sands. These metals though don’t have as many properties as the meteorite sand. The metal only has on the property, high strength. It is almost indestructible.
It is black in color and just like the meteorite sand, this metal grows stronger as time and spiritual energy were consumed.
As for why it is called gold. That has to do with the source of obtaining this metal. They are mostly available in only liquid forms.
In fact, it is a naturally formed alloy mostly found in the extremely high-temperature zone and is always found in the form of lava which is golden in color. The area surrounding the lava will always shine like it was in the presence of starry night. That was why someone gave this name to it. Sam felt that the person who named it might have been too lazy.
Because how much of a Lava glow could really resemble a starry night.
Sam didn’t much and stored the items. Since they are of such high quality, there is no way he would leave them here.
He is even trying to see if he can find the other candidates who wouldn’t know anything about this Black star gold and con them.
But this makes him a public enemy. He has to find all others and defeat them before taking the items, there is another catch that he couldn’t finish them with a single blow. The place is not only healing but also taking them away after they took critical damage.
After that, he made his move. He held the staff in his hands. For the other cultivators who came here, he should be seen as a staff user.
As he zoomed past the trees, he sensed something. He also noticed that there are night and day in this place and the sun is setting as time passed.
Sam changed his direction and moved forward, after two minutes, he arrived at a place where a group of people is fighting. They are not from the Beast faction, only three people are left of the Beast faction, but this group has five members and from their robes, he guessed that they might be from the herb garden.
Sam climbed a tree and looked at the scene vigilantly. The five of them are working together as they fought with three monkey warriors.
The three monkey warriors are using sword and spear and one of them seemed to be more proficient in leg movements.
He didn’t interfere. It would be best if both sides got eliminated.
Sam scanned the herb garden members, he wanted to see if there are any chosen ones. His initial guess is that there are two people who are chosen. That is because of the information he got, there are only three tokens that appeared in each major power, as for the rest they can only be tokens from the previous time, which means, they are chosen ones.
Two people are chosen from a single major power. Maybe the gods who chose them wanted them to have the best medicinal resources.
The battle is extremely heated, although the humans seemed to have an advantage in numbers, their teamwork is not exactly a good one, they are extremely disorganized and everyone is trying to gain control and be the one to lead the team, which is making it hard for them to cooperate, as for the monkey warriors they are like a single entity.
The three of them are easily overpowering the five, if their opponents are one member short, then it would have already been their victory.
At this moment, the five of them recognized that they couldn’t win and wanted to flee. But even then they have differing opinions.
“We need to disperse, so they will also split up.” One of them said.
“No we need to stay together, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to hold our ground against another team like this.”
Sam looked at them calmly, these two people are the ones trying too much to be the leader of the group and now the group seemed to be in extreme confusion.
They don’t who they should listen to and the one who said they should disperse, became angry and said.
“You guys can die on your own.”
With that he didn’t stop and let, the other four all ran towards another direction without caring for that person.
The monkey warriors also split up. One of them followed the loner and the other two followed the remaining group.
Sam waited for a bit and decided to follow the single person.
If he is the chosen one, Sam would like to get some information. In the first palace of inheritance, he did see the tattoos but he didn’t observe keenly enough to get any form of information out of it, except for Arman’s tattoo that too because the previous palace belongs to Indra.
This time, he knew more things and confirmed a lot of speculations after his talk with Ling Tian recently.
He figured that the others also gets some information, which Sam got. But that is still the only scratch on the surface. His next target is guessing which gods that chose them.
After all, he has seen many creatures and even a god who is part of the mythology of the previous earth, and the character of Indra actually synced with what the mythology said.
So, if he could find and guess which gods are involved, he could get some more information, maybe he can think of some reasons based on their characters.
He followed the solo person and soon watched as the monkey warrior caught up, a fierce battle began. That person is a wood elemental user and he is using the surroundings to his advantage.
The Monkey warrior who is following him is using a sword and with a swing, he cut through the vines that are holding him and the sword ray traveled through the air as it slashed the chest of the opponent.
Sam who is watching the battle intensely suddenly had a change of expression. Because he noticed that after the robe was cut open the person from Herb garden has a white cloth tightly wrapped around the chest and there is a bundle of white cloth that almost padded the waist of that person.
He knew who would do that, the females who wanted to disguise themselves as males. He noticed that there is a faint glow of runes all over the white cloth, they seemed to have been inscribed so that she wouldn’t be discovered with the spiritual sense.
He then shifted his attention towards the robe which fell on the ground and noticed it is made of some extremely strong fibers. Even from afar, he could see how dense the fabric is, it is almost as good as armor.
But even that armor was completely destroyed by the warrior in a single swing which is thoughtworthy.
Sam just looked at the battle, the lady from the Herb garden who is passing herself as a man, seemed to have gotten serious and suddenly the surrounding trees, grass, and all the flora started moving. The Monkey warrior frowned and the sword aura raged from his body. He is extremely vigilant.
The tree which Sam sat is also moving and all the roots, vines, and everything that is flexible nearby is moving towards the monkey warrior like crazy.
The Monkey warrior started concentrating his spiritual energy on a large attack and with a single swing, he cut half of the tree around him, there is a loud crash, but to his dismay, the remaining half already entangled him. The trees started absorbing the monkey’s vitality and his body seemed to have dried.
The lady is looking at the monkey warrior coldly and then she turned towards the direction where Sam stood and yelled.
“Are you planning to come out or should I drag you out?” Her voice turned back to her original voice, she didn’t see any reason to keep up with the acts, since Sam already saw the whole battle.
Sam came out with the staff in his hand.
He already got the information he needed, not only she is a lady, she is also a chosen one. Previously when her back faced Sam, he saw the outline of the circle tattoo on her back. The upper portion of hers is covered in cloth.
The cloth exposed the collar bone region and its counterpart on her back where the small arc of the circle is visible.
He knew she is a chosen one, but there is only one thing he has to know, what is the tattoo on her back.
