23 That is some spider, glad i don't have arachnophobia

Walking trough the forest east-words along the cliffside, some of the scouts that where spread a few hundred meters ahead to our side and behind the group to scout , had managed to intercept a few low grade and mid grade magical beasts, replenishing the food supply that has decreasing due mainly because they had to drop a lot of the food that they had hunted in the last few days when the ant horde was chasing them.

Altho dan would have liked to harvest the monster cores and body parts at the bottom of the cliff , now was not the time.

He had the first group of follower to help settle down and build a better life, which he didn't plan to half ass, at all.

'Than it is decided, to make camp on a mountain, and not just some random mountain , but the biggest one that is closest to the gate and also a mountain part of this cliff, if my memory serves me right , it has the best view in all direction and also good scouting point for further exploration in this big as continent of a dungeon. '

a good place for planting magical plants , richer in energy and have good strategic location for a strong defence and offence strategy, a very good environment.

The mountain thad he was currently looking at, still visible from kilometres away

Since they weren't rushing towards the mountain that is a few kilometres away, Akirigera and Dan had a long conversation,, allowing for Dan,s understanding about this particular beast folk tribe and the way of life they have lived thus far to increase.

A simple life from Akirigera's perspective, training in the morning, hunting in the afternoon, scout the territory for any surprises, and when hunting outside the territory for beasts to offer to the demonic blood willow tree they would map out the area south and gather information, that was most of the activity of the warriors that were protecting the life of everyone in their tribes village, as for the kids and elderly, they would farm the forest around the village and teach the younglings how to survive.

"the only bad part happens once a few years or decades , whenever the demonic blood willow tree suffers a critical hit or is near death ,for his protection per the blood contract of old we have to offer our blood, and action that is detrimental to our own strength.

That blood contract was made between it and our ancestors, it says that as long as our tribe is protected under the blood willow tree,in exchange blood must be offered to save it from death whenever such a day presents itself, mainly if it is still in battle and needs to be healed otherwise we would go and capture beasts to be sacrificed instead "

one of the reason the demonic blood willow tree had survived so long was thanks to the beast folk tribe ,

but to the shadow flame panther bloodline, such actions accumulating over the years weakened the bloodline, having been over 200 years since their tribe had a genius that managed to awaken the bloodline, acquire immense powers and unique abilities that came with it.

so wishing to re-live the glory of the past powerful ancestors that all had awakened bloodlines the best folk decided to leave, and knowing that the demonic blood willow tree wont make it easy for them , the plan to leave unnoticed got formulated slowly, over time.

Ten years after its perfection, the chance came in the form of two powerful magical beasts distracting the demonic willow tree, hence , they are here now with half their possessions and more than ninety percent of their food gone.

dan also learned of the top warriors under Akirigera's charge , noted for himself their capabilities and personalities to better understand each individual beast-folk, their traditions and way of life .

A few hours later about two more hours before evening came the group had arrived about one thousand and seven hundred meters away from the mountain that dan has set his eyes upon, witch spanned above five kilometres and seven hundred meters above the tree line of the forest around it. being a sight to behold from dans current location under the shades of the tree line.

"Akirigera, make camp here, the evening is near"

"order the scouts to scout the area, and see if food is needed, so hunt some magical bests,"

"tomorrow morning we are heading to scout the mountain in front of us, that is where we will proceed with building our new home"

Dan gave his orders after seeing a good area empty of trees with long river one hundred three meters wide and two dark to see the depth, dripping a small waterfall down the cliff .

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

Dan took and internal deep sigh and thought to himself.

'haaaaaaah ,I don't know how to start getting close with the rest, it will take time , but for now need to focus on one problem at a time. Oh well might as well train for the night before resting and checking the mountain , I'll figure the connection thing later.'

After setting up camp Dan continued to train his superior senses, exerting his mind to the limit , so the range would increase slowly over time and practice, while circulating his energy trough every cell in his body , this action resulted in purifying and strengthening his cells, resulting in stronger bones, organs, muscles, skin, eyes, ears, nose, brain ,basically all his body an all out upgrade, not to forget the capacity in his energy storage and control will slowly increase and his current aim for the exercise.

But as fancy as it sounds , with his current genetic talent and energy storage the effect could barely be shown in just a day of training . maybe after eighteen days he could have a one percent increase in his all round physical abilities and a 20 percent in his energy storage capacity, but thanks to his past experience his control over his energy would definitely increase the most. but anyways

as for the rest of the beast folk, they celebrated quietly for surviving, and started to rest after Akirigera informing them of the work tomorrow and shared what he understood about their new powerful lord.

----------------

Currently it was late in the evening, when suddenly Dan was awoken by a tigers roar that terrified the little bugs, birds, and other low level monsters in the vicinity, made all the big ass trees tremble and kicked of the dust as far as the eye could see,and jolting awake every sleeping being from their dreams in the vicinity of the mountain.

Dan, having his meditation disturbed, is annoyed but still kept his cool.

Instantly releases his superior senses to the maximum range that he currently could , but not sensing anything besides the few scouts that appeared in his sensing range from the direction of the mountain, seeming to be running towards his direction at a very fast speed. Taking them about a few minutes to cover the distance.

"my , lord , we are here to report about the disturbance "

"Take a breather and than proceed with the rep ..."

"hiss !!!!! !!!!! ""

Before dan could finish his sentence , another hissing roar was heard in the distance from the same direction.

This roar sounded like a hissing sound ,annoying to the ear unlike the majestic lion like roar that made everything tremble in its wake a while ago .

After the loud roar passed by, the scout too a breather and continue to report about the unique group of creatures that where spotted marching towards the mountain.

The creatures appearance, according to the scouts reports was grey coloured with aqua blue stripes along its body, a twelve legged spider with a big round ball of dark green spiked vines on its back.

"ok thanks,"

Ordering the scout to proceed with his duty dan continued to ponder about the current event

'Now we know where the hissing came from. I'll need to get closer and inspect their details to know what magical beast it is, on the other hand the creature that released the majestic roar from the mountain, if my guess isn't wrong this must be a magical creatures battle over territory, or something else.'

With a sense of foreboding, Dan was prepared to investigate further

'ugh, lets hope the mountain isn't occupied '

Getting out of his reverie witch only took a couple of seconds dan proceeds with his next actions to fulfil his new plan .

Remembering the tigers roar and the direction it came from

Dan sighed and proclaimed.

"i think its a waisted trip "

"what do you mean my lord" asked Akirigera's 4th ranked subordinate.

" Shinagu right?, well, we will find out shortly" replied dan with a kind smile, not to seem overbearing like earlier.

"Akirigera, bring half of the top few scouts with us , have them be stationed halfway from the camp to the mountain while you follow me , we are going to observe whats happening there, before proceeding with any further plans, as for the rest , keep an aye on the periphery and be alert in case anyone needs protection."

"yes my lord , it will be don in five minutes"

"no problem , when you're done come towards the mountain, ill leave first, find me at the top of the trees bordering the small open plain at the foot of the mountain "

"understood"

Receiving the orders, Akirigera proceeded to gather the top 10 fighters and scouts of the camp while having the rest on alert.

In the meantime dan was already sprinting towards the mountain and arrived at a location with a good view.

Standing at the top of a tree dan could observe everything in front of him clearly

In front of him was a group of about 800 twelve spiked forest widow spiders.

Dan didn't care much for the week twelve legged spiked forest widows that where technically called ten legged forest widows , since they didn't have the extra two legs or any spikes on them

but even still the mid stage twelve spiked forest widows didn't have anything special about their stats
