Chapter 2526 Searching
There are humans in this ruin, and it couldn’t help but shock me; the intelligence did not mention anything about this ruin having a human stock.Though, it shouldn’t be surprising considering this is a resource site and sometimes Grimms use humans, there are some things that only we could do, or it is easier to use the human stock rather than their own people, and they also eat them, if they felt too hungry.
The Grimms have cities of humans deep in their territory; most of the humans are used as livestock, but some are trained to infiltrate; there are even some that Grimms treat equally as a human tribe. It is one of their newest experiment that started a few millennia ago.
They treat humans of few cities are equal as to human tribes, whose ancestors have redeemed themselves.
Though these Grimms are inwardly distrustful after the tragic fate, they have suffered three and a half millennia ago, that now they did not let humans reach above Emperor class.
There are some exceptions, but they are very rare.
It seemed like something rare was happening in this ruin; as hundreds of humans, I saw all of them have the aura of the king, and the leaders of the groups were the Tyrants. There are also three Grimm Monsters seemed to be overseen by the humans; all three of them are elites.
Usually, when finding oneself in such conditions, the orders are to ignore; do not see humans as humans and focus on the objective of the mission.
We will not forsake them, but we will not be too hurry to save them; we have learned to be careful in such matters over ten thousand years.
Many humans are indoctrinated from birth; those cannot be saved. When we same such people, we just sterilize them and put them in the isolated cities, having no contact with the rest of the race.
Still, I couldn’t help but become curious about them and fly toward them. I appeared over the lake where humans were; they were harvesting the blue stream aquatic lotuses. A very delicate flower, even if I were to harvest it, I would need at least forty to fifty seconds to harvest each lily.
These humans have seemed to be specially trained to harvest these lotuses. The skillful movements of their fingers and that complex weaving of energy around the lotus are more than enough to tell; they are trained for it and have been doing that for years.
”Hurry up, you maggots; if I did not get one thousand lilies, I would flay your skins,” The Bullman shouted and swung a red energy whip in the air.
All the humans shuddered visibly hearing the whip; the whip is really dangerous. Not only fiery energy would burn their skin, but there is also an element in it that will give them the torturous pain, and the wound will also not heal quick.
Tens of seeds came out of my body and seeped into the humans and three Grimms, and soon, their metaphysical scans were in front of me.
Hun!
I couldn’t help but become surprised seeing the scans of humans, especially the slave seals inside them. They are very tough, and the things the Grimms could do through them are shocking; even that energy whip looked like a child’s toy in front of it.
The seals not only could cause immense pain but also could crush the soul and restrict the level. Currently, all of these humans could not level up above regular Tyrant. Even if an Emperor has the potential to level up to the elite, the seals will force them to level up to regular Tyrant.
I also noticed the natural water affinity in their bodies, all of them have it, which is not surprising considering that they and their ancestors have been born in this world where there is such a dense water elemental energy.
I am pretty sure a few micro-percent of people have developed the water constitution; the environment plays a big part in it.
Usually, only one in a hundred thousand develop a constitution, but I am sure here the changes are better, five to ten times better.
I took away my seeds and turned toward the storage of Grimms; I sneakily broke into their storages. The formations inside were not tough; it took me a couple of minutes to break them before I was inside, scanning through their contents.
I have no interest in what I am inside their storage; what I am looking for is a map.
We did not have any intel on this ruin, so there is no question about the map. Having a map would make things quite easier in exploring the mission and finding strong Grimm Monsters for me to fight.
The first Grimm was a disappointment; the second also did not have a map. Though, it did have something interesting that I wanted to take but did not; I did not want to raise any suspicion. Till I find my target, I want to remain as invisible as possible.
”Aha!”
I said loudly as I had finally found the map in the Bullman’s storage; I had quickly copied it before withdrawing my senses.
The map seemed to be complete but not as detailed as I like; the navar ruin is divided into five regions, and I am in the clear lakes region. There are three regions surrounding the clear lakes region, the dribble mist region, the poison river legion, and the radiant sea region.
There is also the last earth vapor region, but it did not share the boundary with the clear lakes region I am in.
After looking at the map, I have a pretty good idea of where I am, but that is all. I did not know where the strongest powerhouses were, and it seemed like I had to do some searching.
”Ashlyn come out,” I said as I flew up in the sky, and a moment later, a finger size bird has appeared in front of me.
Chew Chew
She chirped and flew away; I did not even have to tell her what to do. She already knows what I want, so there is no need to tell her anything further.
”Father, please let me out; I promised not to be naughty and will listen to your every word,” Nero once again screamed from the core; he had been doing that quite often; especially Ashlyn played with my sister; she even teased him about it.
I wanted to reject him but couldn’t any longer see his pitiful face, though only about nine months had passed since punishment had begun, and he is good, very good, giving me no chance to complain, other than him swimming in a corrupted pool.
”Fine, but remember you are not on probation; you have to listen to everything I say; one simple mistake and I not let out for months,” I warned him; I have to say these words, the risk he took last time was too big, I wouldn’t let him take such big risk again.
”Don’t worry, father, I will not disobey you,” he said as he came off the core and streaked up as if fearing I would put him back into the core.
