BXBX NOVEL Chapter 116 Day -1
Bum!
A walrus as big as a car was flung flying and crashed into an ice cliff creating a creaking sound from its shattered bones. On his stomach was a fist-shaped burn that almost pierced his thick skin. The walrus try to regulate his breath, but with a destroyed inner organ, it\'s just a matter of seconds before becomes his last breath.
This walrus is a gold tier danger mutated animal. He has the ability to dive into the snow and attack his enemies suddenly from behind. Its skin was so thick that it could not be penetrated by even a sword, its two long sharp teeth capable of unleashing an ice attack that froze its opponents.
Despite having a large body and slow movement, the walrus can make up for this weakness with the ability to dive in the snow. He can move very quickly and attack without being detected. However, he met Moku who was doing the route clearing.
Using his inner eye, Moku easily found the location of the walrus and turned to trap him. Their battle became one-sided and looked more like bullying. The walrus cannot attack Moku\'s mind being body, while Moku knows where the walrus is hiding.
After being repeatedly hit with Brajamusti, the walrus finally gave in and was killed after crashing hard on the ice wall.
Moku checked his surroundings. This place is very suitable to be used as a temporary stop for the caravan. With the ice cliffs on the side they will be protected from blizzards, then with the slightly low ground, they can make igloos and camouflage with their surroundings.
The walrus which is a gold tier danger mutated animal will also allow them to stop long enough in this place until other mutated animals know that this walrus is dead and invades its territory. Right now, the number of caravan member is multiplied, not because there is many baby monster that are born, but because the number of animals they herd increased.
After knowing the Glittering Meadow is The King Territory, Moku decide to take all animal in it with them. In Moku\'s opinion, "they eat some animals in Glittering Meadow" or "they bring all animals in Glittering Meadow" are the same thing. Both will make the monsters fugitive from The King Glittering Meadow. So it\'s the right thing if Moku decides to take all the animals in Glittering Meadow with him.
Nerphyl and the others support Moku\'s decision. She along with the other sylphs in droves possessed the animals and led them to follow the monster caravan to get out of Glittering Meadow. As a result, they need time and space large enough to accommodate all the animals.
Another solution that Volx recommends is to slaughter these animals one by one during the trip so that they can save time on slaughtering at the rest point. This idea was greatly appreciated by Moku and he asked the goblins to make a special slaughter carriage.
As a result, every road they pass will be filled with the blood of scattered animals. Moku didn\'t care because he was sure that their tracks would soon be covered by snow that was about to fall.
Moku turned to the sylph on his shoulder, she is Haily, one of Nerphyl\'s maids. "Haily, tell Nerphyl that we have found a suitable resting place. I\'ve killed every silver or gold tier danger mutated animal around this place. As for copper and iron tier danger mutated animals, I\'m sure the orcs are capable of dealing with them."
"Okay, I will tell Nerphyl to direct our caravan here. Then what are you going to do Moku? Are you going back to close-door training?" asked Haily, tilting her head.
"Hmm.. I won\'t be doing close-door training for a while. Maybe I\'ll focus on Boku and Goku\'s training. I hope they can reach the third level of breathing technique soon. We need another moksha besides me." Moku smiled imagining that he would not fight alone anymore.
"Oh okay, Are you gonna leave right now?"Haily is enjoying her time with Moku. This new head of the family is not what she imagined, Moku is easier to talk to and less scary.
"Yap, so holds tight Haily, I will go with full speed" Moku gift a warning.
Haily flew into the gap of Moku\'s shirt and held on tightly. Previously she had underestimated how fast Moku can fly and as a result, she was almost lost in the wind. Luckily at that time, Moku caught her immediately, otherwise, Haily would really be left in the forest alone.
Moku jumped into the air and disappeared in the middle of the clouds.
...
Boku held on with all his might to keep his body from being folded in half by the current of the river. However, the current of the river was so strong that his body felt crushed by a giant hand. Boku couldn\'t hold it in anymore and ended up like someone whose waist was pulled forward by a herd of bulls.
The sound of creaking bones filled the screams of pain that were blocked by the liters of water trying to break into his lungs. Boku can only surrender and close the airways to his lungs. Once again Boku\'s ears were ringing from the water trying to enter from there.
Goku who was next to him experienced the same thing. The two of them were trying their hardest to make their bodies float to the top and get a chance to catch their breath. However, before they were content to suck in air, the water that found its way in was already open and rushed into their mouths.
As a result, the two of them again had to hold their breath and try to keep their bodies from being folded in half.
They have been doing this exercise for two days. But unfortunately, they didn\'t get a single clue to complete it.
The two of them had tried to ask Moku for tips, but all they got was gibberish information that they didn\'t know the meaning of at all. Like about uniting with nature, resonating inner power with river currents, not fighting but deflecting, etc.
Boku and Goku almost want to give up but Moku says this is the fastest way he knows, if they can\'t reach the third level of breathing technique this way then they will have to meditate in a dark cave or the middle of a mountain for years.
Consequently, the two of them could only surrender and endure torture after torture.
Boku\'s energy is almost exhausted and his consciousness is starting to fade. Just before he completely passed out, his body was pulled out of the river with an extremely strong force. Boku was thrown into the air and landed heavily on the river bank.
Boku turned around and vomited all the water that had entered his stomach and lungs. His nose felt hot from the water gushing out of his lungs. Tears flow from the pain.
"You guys still haven\'t made it even though I\'ve spooned feed you?" a disappointed voice came from Moku.
Goku managed to control his breathing and commented on Moku\'s words "Moku, we don\'t understand what you said earlier. We wanted to try it but before we could concentrate on blending with nature, our bodies were pulled by the river current." he whined.
"Cough..cough..cough.." thick liquid came out of Boku\'s throat and he felt nauseous and wanted to throw up. "Moku.. hah.. hah.. can we find a river that is a little calm, when we understand how to blend with nature then we move back to this river" Boku tried to negotiate.
"What the fuck!! Are you guys that pussy?! You think this is a swimming lesson!! There\'s no choice in this exercise, Instead, I\'m thinking of looking for the river with a faster current!" Moku growled.
The faces of the two orcs turned pale, they really couldn\'t imagine how they would be tortured in an, even more, swift current. Excitedly they both shook their heads "It\'s not necessary Ku! We can reach the third level of breathing technique in this river! we promise you!"
Moku narrowed his eyes and thought again, cold sweat dripping down both Boku and Goku. With their hearts full of trepidation, they waited for this sadistic coach\'s decision.
Not long, Moku nodded "Good then! I will wait for the good news from you guys", said Moku with a satisfied smile.
Boku and Goku breathed a sigh of relief, their tensed bodies relaxed again.
"Then pack your lodging, we will back to the caravan", said Moku suddenly.
Boku and Goku were surprised by Moku\'s sudden command, "Moku, isn\'t our training finished yet?" asked Boku.
"Hmm? Of course, our training isn\'t over yet! But have you forgotten that tomorrow morning I will return the girls to the tribe? I don\'t want you to come with all your wounds. " said Moku.
Boku and Goku gasped, they just realized that it\'s been two weeks since Moku promised to return the girls. Boku and Goku glanced at each other and their gazes turned competitive.
