Chapter 228 - Dark Fire Fruits
"General."
"General."
Seeing that the golden horned goat-man didn't give any reply for a few minutes, all the soldiers became a little anxious and called out for him.
"What are you all shouting for? Do you think I am dead just because of thinking for some time?"
With the shouts of his subordinates, the golden-horned goat-man woke up from his thoughts and berated them.
Even though he berated them, he was not really angry at them because after going through many trials and tribulations together with them, he considered them as his family in the entire world.
When he first met them, he didn't like them but with time, he changed his views on them.
'Sigh...looks like I need to take a step back here and just take the reward for giving information on this world.'
After thinking for the past few minutes, the golden-horned goat-man came to a conclusion and decided to sell the information on this world.
The exploring squads of their world need to explore to find other worlds with rich cultivational resources.
They have two objectives and they can complete either one of them to return to their world.
These two objectives are,
1) To share the information on the world with rich cultivational resources.
2) To enter the rich world and steal some good cultivational resources.
Since the golden-horned goat-man didn't want to take the risk of entering Henrick's world, he decided to just share the information of this world.
"You take the small emergency battleship and inform the minister about this planet before asking for some help. Also, don't forget to take the credits for our squad for discovering this world."
The golden horned goat-man pointed at the goat-man with the highest level of cultivation among all of his remaining subordinates and gave him an order with a serious look in his eyes.
"Yes, general."
That goat-man nodded his head and turned to take the same emergency battleship.
"We will wait for you until you come back."
The golden horned goat-man said calmly, which showed him that he valued each of his subordinates.
Everyone also looked at that soldier with hopeful looks because, after this, their lives are going to change.
...
In the Blazing inferno sect.,
"Spark."
Nick and Lina entered Henrick's cultivation abode and called out for the baby fire monkey.
After Henrick entered the treasure land, many rumors started spreading across the world.
"Henrick was killed by the outer sect leader of the true lake sect."
"The blazing inferno sect's general sect leader imprisoned Henrick in the twin fire mountain to get the continuous supply of Henrick's blood."
"A mysterious expert appeared and saved Henrick before taking him to another world."
.
.
.
.
Rumors like these continued to spread across the world; however, most of them believed that Mirah killed Henrick because many saw Mirah was the last cultivator to fight Henrick before he disappeared without a trace.
However, Mirah continuously denied it and even the general sect leader supported her decision.
Only when she swore to the water god that she didn't kill Henrick, most people stopped bothering the true lake sect's disciples.
As for Nick and Lina, after the storm has calmed down, the sect leader Gamos went to pick them up because they didn't dare to return to the sect on their own fearing others would harm them.
After the general sect master returned to the sect, he announced that no one should bother Nick and Lina because they didn't have any relation with Henrick other than meeting Henrick a month back. (Lina only met him a couple of days back).
Even though the general sect master of the blazing inferno sect looked cruel, he didn't like unnecessary killings.
As long as there was a benefit for him, he would go to any lengths to kill someone or in the process, he would not bother about his own life. That kind of personality Casar had and that is the reason why the sect leader Gamos hated his brother.
'Eek eek'
In Henrick's cultivation abode, the baby fire monkey anxiously ran towards Nick.
How can it not understand its master was in some kind of danger?
Because of the spirit mark left by Henrick in its mind sea, whenever Henrick's heartbeat increases, it could naturally feel it.
While sensing his master's emotions through the spirit mark, the baby fire monkey lost the connection with Henrick all of a sudden making it even more anxious.
So, when it heard Nick's voice, it anxiously rushed towards him.
"Don't worry. Henrick is perfectly fine."
'Moreover, he was in a special treasure land where he is the king. So, there is nothing to worry about Henrick anymore.'
'Also, his cultivation would rapidly increase with the help of his bloodline and the mid-level energy crystal.'
Even Nick, who didn't like beasts, saw how worried the beasts can be for their masters and tried to calm its anxiousness.
However, Nick didn't know that Henrick lost his right arm and it is known to the baby fire monkey because of the spirit mark.
Nevertheless, the baby fire monkey calmed down after hearing that he was safe in a treasure land, it calmed down.
Except for the first line, Nick silently said the remaining lines through the vice transmission.
Because, even though the general sect leader left them alone, Nick knew that many were keeping their eyes on him and Lina.
'Before we got separated, he asked me to inform you to go back into the beast mountain to become stronger. But I still feel it's risky though. Why don't you stay with my Croc?'
Nick felt that it is still dangerous for the baby fire monkey to enter the beast mountain because danger might come at any moment from any side.
Moreover, if something happened to the baby fire monkey, Nick would feel guilty for not persuading the baby fire monkey to stay.
'Eek eek'
However, the baby fire monkey shook its head as though it had decided to enter the beast mountain to train.
"Sigh."
Seeing the serious look on Spark's face, Nick stopped persuading because he felt it was impossible to stop the baby fire monkey from entering the beast mountain.
'Eek eek'
Soon, the baby fire monkey signaled Nick to explain what had actually happened.
Even though Spark could speak through voice transmissions with others, it didn't want to reveal it to others.
Henrick, himself thinks that the baby fire monkey was able to transmit its words because of the spirit mark in its mind sea.
Except for the master of the beast mountain, no one completely knows about its abilities.
"Do you want to know what happened outside the sect?"
Unlike Henrick, Nick didn't have 'beast language skill'. So, it took Nick some time to understand what the baby fire monkey was trying to say and asked it.
'Eek eek'
The baby fire monkey nodded its head.
"So, the thing is when we came out of the treasure land...
Nick started explaining everything without missing any event.
"Eek eek"
By the time Nick finished his words, the baby fire money's anxiousness had turned into anger.
Angry because the entire world tried to hunt its master.
It picked someone after who knows how many years and whom the baby fire monkey thought is capable enough to be called its master.
However, now, they were separated by the entire world where his master needs to hide in a treasure land.
'Looks like I should not delay the things anymore.'
When it awakened the celestial monkey king's bloodline, the baby fire monkey gained some of the memories of its past life.
Initially, it wanted to take things one at a time; however, after its master beings hunted by the entire world, it decided to become stronger to take good care of this world.
'Eek eek'
'Swoosh'
Throwing blackish red-colored fruits at Nick, Lina, and the armored fire crocodile, the baby fire monkey rushed off into the distance.
Nick and others were shocked when they saw the fruit in their hand and looking at the silhouette of the rushing baby fire monkey, they wondered, 'where did the baby fire monkey get these fruits.'
These fruits were called Dark fire fruits which could instantly fill four energy pillars for a cultivator whereas beasts could increase their cultivation by one segment in a particular rank.
These fruits were generally given only to inner sect disciples; however, the baby fire monkey casually threw these fruits at them.
Actually, the baby fire monkey entered the beast mountain after Henrick left for the treasure land and he brought some fruits for Henrick, Nick, and the armoured fire crocodile.
However, the things went completely opposite to what the baby fire monkey thought. So, it decided to speed up some things.
'Keep an eye on that monkey.'
'Don't let it out of your sight'
'It might lead us to that demon kid.'
When the baby fire monkey was running towards the beast mountain, many powerful auras spiked up as they used their aura to intimate it; however, there was no fear in the baby fire monkey as it continued to run without stopping.
'Go and catch it.'
'Whoever catches that little monkey will be directly promoted to the inner sect.'
'Whoever catches it, I will accept him as my personal disciples and promote him to the core sect.'
Soon, various offers started appearing as the old monsters from three sections of the sect gave their own offers for the younger generation to do their bidding.
Nevertheless, some offers even tempted the elders of the outer sect of the blazing inferno sect.
