Corrupt Creations

The herb was shining with a pale green light and it seemed that the medicine power within it was ready to be absorbed.

The beasts were getting restless after feeling that strong and beneficial aura coming from the herb.

The cloaked person started to release his Mana, that was very mild and natural, covering the whole plant. A wooden box appeared right before him and the herb flew towards it while directed by his Mana. After it entered the wooden box, the person closed the lid, sealing the item inside.

The aura the herb was releasing was thoroughly contained inside that box and everything came back to normal. The environment stilled and even the insects stopped from making any more sounds.

That place was littered with beasts and every single one of them had come with the intention of obtaining that treasure. When they saw what that human did, the tense atmosphere from before instantly turned into the most violent riot possible.

ROAR!

GRRRR!

HISSS!

ROAR!

One after the other they stormed towards that person, trying to steal that wooden box where the herb was.

That person didn't seem to panic on the incoming beast riot. The box previously on his hands, had already vanished. It entered his spatial ring. He raised his hands and a thousand plus thick vines, surged from the ground, creating a huge wall that prevented the beasts from going forward.

The thick vines kept growing until it reached the top of the town trees, intercrossing up there and sealing the path from all sides.

The beasts on the outside kept smashing their heads and limbs on those vines in order to break them, but just after they broke a section of that wall, more vines would regrown and cover the damaged area.

'What an amazing ability we have here...' Seth was observing from afar. He didn't want to steal from that person, but if he were to die, then it wouldn't be considered as theft anymore.

CHIRP!

A Flaming Eagle that was observing the situation from afar, decided to act. It was a Mana Perception initial-stage beast, able to understand a bit about the situation.

It started to throw many balls of pure fire towards the vines, creating a commotion down there, since the fire was burning even the weak Qi Transformation beasts on the ground.

The vines were thick enough to not completely burn in seconds, giving a lot of time for the person inside to devise an escaping plan.

The fire spread to every direction and the vines were getting burned, revealing the situation inside. There was no one there any longer.

When the beasts saw that there was no one inside, they all madly dashed around the area, searching for some signals.

That trick easily diverged the attention of most beasts on the area. However, the seven Mana Perception initial-stage beasts were not so easily fooled. They observed the surrounding and noticed the aura left behind by that person.

The huge Flaming Eagle once again was the first one to act, it flapped its wings, creating a wave of flame that threatened to burn the top of a specific tree nearby.

Just as the fire approached that spot, a person jumped towards another tree, fleeing to the other side. The Mana Perception beasts noticed that action and every single one of them, followed the Eagle, chasing after the fugitive.

The fodder Qi Transformation beasts, kept following behind the strong ones.

The Flaming Eagle was a very agile beast and it waited the right time to attack the human that was jumping from tree to tree.

Just as he was about to jump again, the eagle came flying at a breakneck speed and smashed directly towards him.

That person was lucky enough to act quickly when he saw the eagle approaching, creating a very thick layer of Mana, that protected his body from any harm, however, he fell towards the ground, where there were six other beasts, ready to attack.

Now there was no chance to escape anymore. It was do or die.

That person felt the danger approaching again and sharp vines appeared around, making a forest of thorns beside him. It served to stop the charge of a very fast Wind Razor Leopard, that wanted to strike fast and to support his own landing.

Taking advantage of that small window of time, the person put both hands on the ground and a very strange flower started to grow there. It grew so much that it reached solid six meters tall. The stalk seemed to be though and full of thorns.

Just as it finished growing, the soil was uprooted, revealing a very large and strange root. It lashed towards the Wind Razor Leopard faster than it could react, forcefully wrapping his body and pulling it with force towards the sky, smashing it down a second later.

Boom!

The Leopard was smashed into the ground and the bones on its body were turned into powder.

The tremor vreated, destabilized the beasts trying to approach, but the Flaming Eagle was unaffected. It didn't waste any time and started to circle the area above the giant flower.

Slowly, a fire tornado formed right above it, making the whole plant burn to cinders. However, before it was thoroughly burnt, that person made a signal and the huge flower dissipated into thousands of small thorns, shooting out of the burning stalk. Each one of them held a portion of the Mana Perception initial-stage aura that was infused behind that attack.

The shower of thorn rained towards the Qi Transformation beasts, piercing their bodies and killing more than forty of them.

Although it was a large area attack that contained the power of a Mana Perception initial-stage cultivator, it wasn't enough to kill any of the strongest beasts nearby, only the weaker ones.

Seth observed the scene and felt that that practitioner was getting tired. His movements seemed to be slowing down and he was lightly gasping. Just like he had though before, there were a lot of enemies for a single person to face.

It meant that soon, that person would be led to a dead end, and he would be able to get the herb. But Seth was considering if it would really be worthy to let that person die, since he could obtain all the basic information he wanted, from him.

He could probably even obtain more detailed and precise information about the "Nature Roots", the Elf Queen and the Ereinrith City.

While he was in a dilemma. The beasts finally broke through that practitioner last line of defense, destroying all the plants and vines created by him.

Roar!

Eight Qi Transformation beasts charged towards the practitioner, not letting him escape from their senses. The attacks were very precise and each time a beast attacked another one would be ready to strike a little bit after, making the practitioner get more and more cornered.

Finally, a beast approached and clawed towards his arms, cutting the long sleeve of his shirt and opening a wound that started to bleed.

More beasts circled the practitioner, trying to obtain the wooden box and eat the herb that was inside.

And just like the beasts wanted, the cloaked person took a wooden box out of the spatial ring and threw it far away.

When the wild beasts saw that box, they madly dashed towards it.

One beast stepped on the head of another one, killing it instantly. Right after that, a sharp claw destroyed the throat of a wolf that was approaching the box. A venomous snake bit the skin of a deer, but died after being crushed by a very fierce mammoth.

The mammoth was one of the Mana Perception initial-stage realm beasts. The first one to approach the wooden box. Actually, it was lucky that the wooden box landed nearby.

The battlefield stilled after the mammoth got near the box and every single beast observed as the it opened the lid with its hardened fangs. A green smoke drifted off from the box, covering a large area and delaying the senses of every beast that was watching.

When the smoke stopped flowing out, they observed that inside of the box was empty. There was absolutely nothing inside. They were fooled by that action of the practitioner, that had already distanced more than two hundred meters from them.

ROAR!

The beasts got thoroughly enraged after realizing they were fooled by that simple action, and used all the Mana and Qi energy they had to send their strongest attacks towards him, or to chase after him.

However, they were slower than the Flaming Eagle, that burned the path in front of the practitioner, sealing his last escape route.

The practitioner looked towards the burning path and then towards the sea of wild beasts approaching and could only resign himself to fate, bringing the wooden box outside of the spatial ring.

He opened de lid, revealing the enchanting smell of the herb that every single beast was after. He slowly put it on the ground and withdrew from the place he left it.

The practitioner thought the beasts would let him leave after he gave them what they wanted; however, it was not necessarily the truth.

The Flaming Eagle opened its nozzle and a torrent of flames flew towards the practitioner that was caught off guard. The fire was so hot that it was enough to burn him to ashes in a single second, but just when the practitioner thought that everything was lost, a man appeared in front of him, blocking the whirlwind of fire with his own body.

The flames seemed to obey him and not trespass a single centimeter from the place he was.

Seth looked towards the cloaked person and said: "How about we make a deal?"
