Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

Chapter 590  Strange Behaviours

Old Bho's demeanor was merry, but his vigilance wasn't lowered one bit.

The Forest region he was in was a newly sprung Tier 2-danger rank forest that Old Ghu said never existed before they came. It was like a mythical land that always had light airy swot-like particles floating in the air in suspense, never touching the grounds, despite their swaying and swirling movements. The temperatures here were hot, and the sun was high in the sky. As an elder, his resources are far more extensive compared to the disciples. So it came as no surprise that he broke through past 2 realm stages after breaking his mortal shell.

Following this he had another breakthrough again, moving from mid-stage to late-stage within the first cultivation realm. So yes… Tier 2 forests were areas he could cross to.

Tier 1 forests had little to no harmful creatures there.

How to say it? The animals within Tier 1 regions were also mortal ones that were slowly preparing to break through too. So even handymen who were still mortals, could handle or flee from them if wise enough.

'I've been running for hours… If I'm not mistaken, it shouldn't be farther now.'

Just then, the atmosphere around him seemed to change.

Whoosh!

'...What was that?'

Phew! That was a close call.

Old Bho moved his body to the side, instantly dodging the powerful ray that shot at him. His hands were now hunched down, and his body now arched like a gorilla's. Old Bho was instantly taken aback when seeing the creature standing before him. 'Eh? A massive wolf on 2-legs with a camel's mouth? What an odd combination.'

Old Bho took the hammer hanging on his side, twirling around with a stern look in his eyes.

ROARRRRR~

'It's coming.' He told himself, while waiting for his chance to strike. 'If its blast hits me, it won't be a pretty sight.'

Facts have proved that Old Bho's judgment was correct, as both he and the creature were of equal strength.

10 minutes later, Old Bho squatted in blood, waving his vein-filled hands and mighty ax like a killing God.

Woooooow~

The creature panted briefly before collapsing to the ground with his head completely bashed. Huh-Huh-Huh~

Old Bho placed his hands on his knees, arching down to catch his breath. What an incredible battle. He has fought with several in the sect. However, when fighting an ally, one tends to hold back slightly. So without this raw killing intent from a true enemy, one would never call the spars he did before Experience.

Already knowing that the smell of blood would bring more trouble his way, Old Bho quickened his movements, until soon, he found the cave Old Ghu spoke of. After dropping a recovery pill in his mouth, Old Bho wasted no time jumping in.

Bam! Bam! Bam~

Old Bho's hands seemed to be stuck mid-air since he jumped in. Finally, He didn't know how long it had been when he sensed no other creatures flying his way.

"4-ear rabbits… I've read about them briefly." Old Bho muttered, when looking at the pile of 4-ear rabbits around him. If possible, he would have loved to avoid these rabbits, but it was ironic that rabbits that should eat veggies, instead loved eating meat. Their teeth were also strong as metal, and within this den of theirs, one could find bones of their unfortunate victims scattered around.

It should be said that despite the pile of dead rabbits around him, many fled after seeing his might. So he should be safe for now. Hmph!

Old Bho pouted his lips high when staring at these rabbit corpses.

"Want to compete with this daddy? You are 200 years too young for that!"

Seeing no more troublemakers around, Old Bho advanced into the cave, until he reached an oven space that looked like a bat's cave. The walls glued green from the unique algae, and the floors were covered with countless metal ores.

"0"

Old Bho was first taken aback, before laughing so hard his intestines now hurt badly.

Bahahahahahahaahh~

"Success! Success! Telknic Stones!"

Finally, he found them!

(^0^)

The path Old Bho used was actually high up, far above the surface. So with one kick, he jumped off and soon landed, wasting no time getting to work.

And now looking at these bad boys before him, his eyes twinkled with love, as though staring at the love of his life.

Happy~

Old Bho felt Spring had come for him. And with a few careful moves, he extracted the stones, and vanished in a blink of an eye. Hours later, returned to the Blacksmith Hall, and quickly rolled up his sleeves.

Bam, Bam, Bam, Bam~

The sound of hammering bellowed out from all directions. Old Ghu, who was watching his good friend from a distance, only smiled. 'Old friend, well done.'

….

Like so, things in the sect quickly picked up. Everyone knew the impending dangers ahead, and hastened their actions when leveling up.

Like so, 9 more months passed by in a blink of an eye. Previously, at the start of this all, humanity had but 2 years to prepare for the war. However, they soon came to realize that they had barely 10 more months to prepare.

Were they ready? Were they capable of saving humanity?

For now, the answer was NO!

It was impressive how far they came, and how insanely strong they had grown in such a short time. But while this could be seen as an already miraculous sight, it was still far-fetched when thinking of the enemy's overall strength. So many things have gone wrong in the mundane world that confused both the humans and the roaming underworld creatures too. What's going on? Who can tell them where everyone is right now? (?~?)

… Seated within the grand Su estate, Chen Su, the current Su patriarch, his eldest son Ji Su and several other Su members, both male and female, were now gathered with expressionless faces. Despite the knee-deep silence around them, their bodies had long began boiling, and their self-control was now staggering the more they thought of things. "Father, something is definitely wrong somewhere!" "Exactly!" Several others added. First, the Tians… then the Gias… then the Ghus, then the Hous, and finally the Bhos have gone MIA… And you expect them to sit down here and play house? It's obvious that these 5 families are planning something in the dark, something that could cripple their Su Clan. Of course, there is a difference between crippling and killing. It won't be easy to kill their Su clan. It would take hundreds and hundreds of years to do so. However, crippling it but by bit was always an option that would hurt their pockets right now. So what to do?
