Chapter 329: The Nest 1


    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion


    A group of people silently waited in the forest. Vicky lighted a few torches and distributed them throughout the group. The crackling of the mes could be clearly heard.


    The croaking of frogs one after another could be heard in the distance.


    Croak, croak..


    Garen fixated his gaze in the direction of the fortress. He abruptly stretched out his fingers and gestured in the air. ck mes emerged as a dot from his finger tips, leaving ck strands in the air.


    Very quickly with the formation of the gestures, his eyes dted and lost its focus.


    "Sight sharing tactic?!" Angel was slightly startled. "So fast..." She stared at Garen in disbelief. Herplexion wasplicated, seeming like she had thought of something.


    After a whole ten minutes, a light roar came from the direction of the fortress. It seemed like the roar of a lion, but from a long way away.


    "Let’s go. There is a problem here." Garen took the first step and moved towards the fortress. He seemed slow but was actually quick and had a rhythm to his steps.


    The rest of the party followed behind him, but only Ren could keep up with him. Angel and the rest had difficulty in keeping up, and had to summon primitive totems to carry them.


    In the dark night, the group cut through the vast ins from the dark forest, and quickly headed towards the fortress. Only three swiftly moving orange mes could be seen in the dark, whereas their shadows werepletely not visible.


    Garen took the lead, following the pathway of the fort to directly arrive at the main entrance. The iron-d wooden door was wide open, and the keyhole had obvious traces of damage.


    The roar of a lion could be continuously heard from behind the door.


    Garen went straight into the entrance.


    There was a wide stone za within. As the faint moonlight shone on the za, it seemed like it was ted with a white-greyishyer.


    In the middle of the za, Le wasmanding his serpent-tailed lioness in a battle with two ck shadows..


    Whenever the lioness let out a fierce howl, she would emit a circle of expanding pale yellow light, which would only disappear after expanding three metres. Every single time, the light would send the two ck shadows flying and rolling on the ground.


    The ck shadows would then persistently get back on their feet and continued their assault.


    Garen walked closer, trying to see the true forms of the two shadows with the aid of the moonlight.


    It was two ck panthers with bull horns on their heads.


    They bowed their heads and pawed on the ground with their hooves like a bull. Air wasing out from their nostrils and their eyes were glowing red.


    "They are not silver totems?" Garen carefully identified. Suddenly there was a sh of light in his eyes. "They are not totems, but mutated creatures who were infected. "


    "Chief! They are not powerful, just very resistant." Le shouted towards him. "Their speed is too fast. Although they have weak attacks, but because I’m totally unable catch them, I can only passively counter attack." A dejected expression could be seen on his face.


    Moo!!!


    One of the ck bull panthers let out a roar, and directly dashed at the serpent-tailed lioness.


    A dash like that might have been effective towards normal creatures, but not at all towards the serpent-tailed lioness with totem light.


    The serpent-tailed lioness stood its ground and howled fiercely, emitting a circle of yellow light from its body, which immediately sent the ck bull panther flying again.


    With a bang, the ck bull panther was savagely sent flying a long distance. Its four hooves left long ck marks on the ground.


    "Let me do it." Angel finally arrived behind Garen and dismounted from her ck panther. Looking at the two ck bull panthers, there was some mild covetousness in her eyes.


    "These are living mutated creatures, if only the unit factory could be used to replicate them as totems.."


    Renughed without saying a word.


    Vicky from the hunting group stood out.


    "Do we need miss to act for mere speedy types? Let me do it!"


    Before she finished her sentence, a yellow line leapt out from behind her and headed directly towards the two ck bull panthers.


    After two light hisses, the yellow line shed across the two ck bull panthers, and flew back towards Vicky’s shoulder. It was a fully gold mink. It obediently crouched on its owner’s shoulder and continuously licked its blood-stained w. Its two eyes had a wolf-like dark green glow, giving off a dark malevolent aura.


    Both the two ck-bull panther were wounded by their side abdomens. After wobbling for a few more steps, they couldn’t support themselves and fell to the ground.


    "Be careful! There are more of them around us!" Ren yelled loudly.


    Their surroundings were full of ck shadows. The shadows of ck bull panthers kept shing by, carrying a heavy aura of silver totems.


    Garen’s countenance changed slightly.


    Among the totem auras, he could even feel second form totems, and it wasn’t just one. To be able to gather so many second form totems together, there might even be third form creatures.


    "Retreat for now." Garen ordered in a low voice.


    The few of them slowly exited the fortress gate, constantly on their guards against any ambush.


    "There is certainly a nest here." Ren muttered as she walked towards Garen’s side. Only Garen could hear her voice. "A nest is the Obscuro Society’s biological weapon nt, if only we could conquer one..."


    "Weren’t these kinds of nest invented by the Obscuro Society?" Garen frowned.


    "Of course not. They initially also found a special creature’s nest, then imitated it after that. But many of them were unrefined, and it was impossible to control the nests." Ren exined. "There should be a ck bull panther’s nest here. ording to the Obscuro Society’s records, it is an agility type, and is decent among first form totems. Big brother, there are two ways for you toe in contact with the derivator’s control method. The first method is to find a derivator not owned by the Obscuro Society to shift your silver totems. The second method is to directly make adjustments to the original derivator."


    "A derivator that is not owned by the Obscuro Society? Besides the Obscuro Society, are there others who have derivators like this?" Garen curiously asked.


    "Actually, the derivator crystal was discovered by the Obscuro Society in the outside world. It only achieved this form through unique modifications." Ren exined softly.


    Garen immediately came to a halt.


    Angel and the rest in front noticed it, and stopped as well.


    "All of you stay on guard around the fortress. If you meet something you’re unable to fight against, immediately send signals through the fire bombs." Garen ordered. "Ren and I have something to handle."


    Angel frowned as she gave Ren a nce. She didn’t say anything but nodded her head.


    "Then we shall go back and wait."


    Garen nodded.


    As he looked at Angel and the others quickly leaving the fortress, he turned towards the ck bull panther herd on the za, which was growing by the minute.


    "How do we conquer the nest?"


    "The first step is to clear up these ck bull panthers, get rid of all the guards. The nature of a nest is like a nt. The roots are rooted in the ground to absorb nutrients. These ck bull panthers are like the fruits. They are like vassals and guards who are being controlled." Ren calmly said. "A ck bull panther’s nest should only be a first form nest. There are minimal second form creatures. The ck bull panthers gathered here should be all of them."


    Garen heaved a sigh of relief.


    "As long as there aren’t any third form creatures. There are strong and weak third form creatures, but their abilities are troublesome. If we are unfamiliar with their abilities, it might lead to injuries or even death if we are not careful."


    Both of them faced off against all the ck bull panthers on the za.


    Garen stepped forward. A few deep swamp crocs[1] crawled out from the shade behind him, while a resonance hawk was circling in the air above him .


    He pointed at the tens of ck bull panthers on the za.


    The resonance hawk dived, letting out a horrendous cry. At that same time, there were sounds of resonant heartbeats.


    Pok Pok!


    Two ck bull panthers leapt forward a few steps and crashed to the ground. There was blood on the side of their jaws as theyid there motionless.


    Five deep swamp crocs armed with their long tails and pitch ck hides crawled towards the ck bull panthers. They darted forward time to time, grabbing the ck bull panthers beside them with their jaws. They snapped the panthers into two and then flung them away.


    The sharp ws of the ck bull panthers could only leave minor scratches on the body of the crocs.


    A few of the second form ck bull panthers took on the deep swamp crocs. They were exceedingly swift, and their bodies were covered with ck bone armor, like artificial abnormalities.


    O!!!


    As the second form ck bull panthers bowed their heads, blue lightning arcs formed in between their horns.


    Sheesh! The lightning arcs discharged a blue line and savagelynded on the body of a deep swamp croc. The electric current left a ck burnt mark on its hide.


    The deep swamp croc was knocked back by the current and retreated a few steps as it let out a roar signalling its injury.


    "Electric current?" Garen instantly looked surprised. As he spread out his right palm, lines of ck mes quickly erupted from his five fingers. Another tactic gesture was formed in the midst of the shadows.


    Ren was stunned at Garen’s feat. "Five...five sight sharing tactics!"


    There has never been someone as crazy as this. Even among the countless elites in the Obscuro Headquarters, she has never met someone who could draw five tactics at once. Can a human’s hand be as agile as this?!


    Garen wasn’t in the mood to notice Ren’s reactions. His vision had split into five. Four of them were with the deep swamp crocs, while one of it was with the resonance hawk in the air.


    The five different visions were monitoring the second form ck panthers from different angles and directions.


    The secret ideas that he had finally had a glimmer of hope of being realized.


    "Electric current with totem light.....For me, doesn’t it have the same properties as the legendary dragon blood?" His eyes narrowed as he had a definite objective in his heart.


    Through the sight sharing, Garen’s powerful martial arts body could finally reveal its strength.


    He simultaneously controlled five totems, forming a defensive semi-circle around Ren and himself. Every ck bull panther that attacked was repelled with immense uracy, or immediately bitten to death.


    Every electrical attack from the second form ck bull panthers would be blocked by Garen with the deep swamp crocs. The powerful electric attacks could only leave minor burn marks on the ck hide, not causing significant damage to the giant crocs.


    Garen’s gaze was still. His pupils faintly separated into five fan shapes, every fan presenting images from a different angle.


    A second form ck bull panther quietly crept towards to the back of Garen and Ren. It lurked and hid its body in the dark, and took steps towards Garen’s rear.


    Suddenly, it swooped quietly to grab the back of Garen’s head. There were traces of blue electric current on its ws.


    As the sharp ws were about to touch Garen, from the right came a big ck jaw.


    Crack!


    As the deep swamp croc’s jawnded on the ck bull panther’s abdomen, bone crackling sounds continuously came from its jaw. The croc brought its prey to the ground with a thud. Then immediately started to roll on the ground.


    In a moment, after a few shes of lightning arcs in its jaw, everything became still. The second form ck bull panther’s corpse broke into two parts and fell out from the side of the deep swamp croc’s jaw.


    The five totems were like meat grinders, annihting every ck bull panther on the za. Very quickly, the numbers of the ck bull panthers gradually decreased. Finally, the two or three remaining looked at Garen in fear, as if they could run away any time.


    Garen brought his tactic and control to a stop. As he looked at the ck bull panther corpses all over the za, there was no hint of expression on his face.


    "Let’s go to see the nest. How do we conquer it?"


    Ren retracted her surprise expression. She adjusted her wind-swept hood to cover her dry, ugly face.


    "To control a nest is difficult indeed. But the core material to create the derivator could be obtained from a nest. It is called the Resonance Stone and has wonderful effects. After a splitting a resonance stone into two, one of the pieces could be transmitted through resonance to the other piece regardless of distance. Although there is a certain loss, but the frequency will be the same. Because of this, the Obscuro Society used it as a core for long distancemunication. Afterplicating the simple resonance, then going through informationization, then coding, it will then have themunication function of the derivator in your hand."


    "Then how do we concretely control the nest? With the Resonance Stone?" Garen asked.
