magic?" "is she that powerful that she got bored? Nonetheless isn't tiring using the normal people's ways" a flash of realization crossed his eyes" why don't you use magic or spiritual energy it's much easier YOU KNOW?" she stopped.
her blood run cold she freaking forgot if the bluff is blown up it's over, she stood calm and resumed stroking the wood for a time until it lit up, the fire begins to surge slowly illuminating the gloomy place "look isn't that satisfying ?" she turned to face him with her vacant eyes "doesn't firing the woods by hand make us recall that we can all be simple, the satisfaction of firing the wood like that is different from that of using magic, feeling how both the powerful and powerless people live and feel is an interesting notion don't you think so?"
"OK, OK I GOT IT CREEPY GIRL" she hived a sigh of relief the crisis seemed to have passed, they sat there around the fire and a "URGHHHH" sound resonated in the silent jungle "HIHIHIHIHIH it seemed we have forgotten to eat ", with a wave of his hand a table full of dishes appeared out of nowhere it held many dishes meat buns, some sort of orange soup, and many grilled ribs, there was at least three jars of wine the table was in a red sandalwood "hum, given the fact that you took care of my little ginseng today I will let eat on my heavenly table" there were even some dumplings, noodles and other unknown dishes she started eating without waiting for him
"WAIT FOR ME FATTY PANDA I 'AM THE MASTER HERE " she looked at him with a scary look "did he forgot himself" rolling her eyes in annoyance "carry on" while shivering from her gaze, after finishing the meal they prepared to sleep even in the world of cultivation and magic people need to sleep.
Until this moment all that I know is her name plus there is no sign of flowing energy in her body which is weird so he asked: "anyway what is your path of cultivation?"
"does it matter?" searching for an area to sleep " her long hair cascading behind her back along with the breeze "you are not a contractor are you? hiding your cultivation here" even though it was a joke he was trying to test her bluff whether she is powerful or not seeing that she didn't flinch at their name made him even more convinced that she is indeed a powerful person.
"Who are they?" looking at him with an unperplexed gaze "WHAAAT!!? ARE YOU LIVING IN THIS CONTINENT OR NOT?" astonished not believing that she didn't hear of their names " is this girl from another continent or what ? then she really is powerful if that's the case then".
he explained "they were the most fearsome individuals in the continent"
"were?" rising her eyebrow" YEAH, in the primeval era after the war against Bishamon, human used the contractors as their shield and sword they were our most sacred weapon, but after winning the war they plotted against them framing them given them the name of the humanity's scourge.
they could contract more than one beast and even summon some unknown beings as it's common that we only can do one contract in our lifetime but what was known about them by far is the possession of a deadly creature that terrified the realm they were seven and so there were seven deadly beasts they possessed fearsome abilities they could shatter the mountains, split the oceans and even make a whole country disappear in a fragment of seconds.
even though it's an exaggeration but from the description of the folk's tales that I know their abilities were matchless, so after plotting against them they felt betrayed of course so they took vengeance, showing their might in controlling those unknown beings by ravaging everyone who stood against them"
he continued while she was concentrating on what he is saying "as you know everything has it's ending, I don't know how but the humans joined together and started eliminating them one by one while sealing the beasts in unknown places to make sure that such a threatening existence extinguishes from the inverted globe.
and like they wished there is no contractor ever since", they laid there in silence "If I was in their place I would do the same" he murmured and added, "well we need a rest tomorrow we are going to gather some beasts cores for the wine" with that he turned to sleep she laid there thinking about the contractor's fate "human nature really is controversial "closing her eyes letting sleep overcome her.
"LET'S GO THIS WAY" segar leading the way passing through the thick overlapped trees "this is the nest of the Immortal Vermilion Tiger" standing in front of a narrow cave entrance "what is he thinking, I won't go inside a tiger's nest, what's more, it's called immortal " she turned to leave
"wait where are you going?" grabbing her hand "let go" starring at him with her blank eyes "ARGHHH don't look at me like that I'm not going to send you in there, this is going to do all the work" a medium-sized grey ball with a bizarre odor rested in his hand " this is the core of the thunderous serpent it's the tiger's nemesis, with me the most handsome monk you won't lift a finger panda" she twitched her mouth at him she need to tel him to stop calling her panda.
they hid behind the bushes while segar throw the ball with anticipation of something might happen they stood there for an hour and nothing happened "it seemed that the handsome monk's ways of dealing are so so " she chuckled at the situation complemented with her empty eyes the scene looked strange "HUMPH FATTY PANDA WAIT AND SEE HOW MUCH STRONG IS I YOUR FATHER" dashing toward the entrance.
at that moment a loud chuff echoed in the jungle making the birds fly out of their nests, Naya stood still flustered "this dumn stupid monk" she readied herself to run but to her dismay, the tiger with its mighty and huge body showed up.
she begins running without turning back little ginseng on her shoulder even though she was running with all her might she was after all chubby the tiger focused on her when he heard the sounds of the cracking branches he ran after her
"Oh crap, what to do, what to do? she kept running while picking up stones and branches to throw them at the beast but the beast felt more enraged he roared loudly creating a shock wave that made the tree dance with its strong current making chaos in the jungle.
