Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 54 Tricking the Wolf Pack

Meanwhile, just a few kilometers far from Kyle's location.

Two humans stood looking at the corpse of a huge earth lizard.

But they were different from humans because they had long black tails on their butts and they also had a pair of small ears on their head.

They were demi-humans, half cat and half human.

One of the demi-humans with peach color hair looked at the person standing beside him at spoke with delight.

"Bro Doin, I think I will rank up if we kill one more monster hehe."

The black-haired demi-humans nodded and started walking toward the way where the waterfall was present.

"Good Likin, let's continue forward."

Both of them didn't know each other but they were from the same race and Academy.

Also, they met the moment they appeared inside the Tower that's why they decided to team up.

After walking for an hour they appeared in front of the same waterfall.

Likin looked at dried black one-petal flowers and gasped with shock.

"Are not they the flowers of dusk?"

Doin also looked at the dried-up flowers with a serious expression. They only grow around a special flower called 'Capiyole'.

The flower Capiyole was a high-grade herb. It can't cure any disease or injury but increased the life span of a person, and seeing the amount of dried dusk flower Dion was sure it was a mature Capiyole flower which can increase more than 15- years of lifespan.

In 'Kindom Hoekan' the kingdom of demi-humans this herb is very sought after due to its miraculous effects.

Dion also saw a wolf corpse on the opposite side of the waterfall.

"Yes, but it seems someone else took the real treasure."

Likin sigh with disappointment, finding such a precious item on the first floor was unheard of but it seemed someone really found it.

After thinking for a while Likin suddenly had an idea.

"How about we follow, the one who killed the wolf seemed to be alone seeing the sword mark and seeing the unfrozen blood, he couldn't have gone far?"

Dion nodded, if the person was a demi-human they will take the herb and let the other party live but if it was from another race they will just kill him and take the herb.

...

On the other hand, Kyle didn't know that someone was following behind him.

After leaving the waterfall he encounter some more wolf-type monsters but they were all (F)-Rank or lower so it didn't take him a long time to defeat them.

Kyle looked at the map in his hand and frowned.

He was following the map according to the direction of the tallest mountain.

The nearest golden cross mark shouldn't be too far from where he was but even after running around for hours, he didn't see anything.

Kyle was getting disappointed thinking maybe the map was wrong but soon he heard a commotion not so far from him.

He slowed his pace of walking and slowly walked toward the voices.

Peeking from some bushes Kyle saw what was happening on the other side.

A large tree where 9 golden color fruits were hanging vertically, the tree was surrounded by a pack of grey wolves.

All the wolves were growling at the other small monsters surrounding them.

Kyle looked at the tree and his eyes flashed with a glint as he question Bia inside his head.

'Do you know about the fruit hanging on the tree branches?'

-'I am not sure but I think they are mana fruit seeing the amount of mana they are emitting.'

-'It can increase mana, it's useful for both of us. Let's get them.'

Bia said with an exciting tone. It was the first time she saw something that was useful to her.

'Oh.'

'Why not, let's get them.'

Kyle said with a grin, in his eyes the fruits were already his. He didn't care about the wolf pack standing beneath the tree as they were all (F)-Rank, only three of the wolf were (-E)-Rank.

There were a total of 19 grey wolves he could defeat 5 easily but the other wolves and the small monsters surrounding them were not something he could handle easily.

Also, it seems the wolves were waiting for the fruits to mature so they can get maximum benefit.

Kyle has to give it his all to claim all the fruits.

Thinking for a while Kyle had an idea before he looked at Bia with a mischievous smile.

.....

After a while, Bia could be seen flying around with a fruit in her beak. She was cursing Kyle repeatedly in her head.

On the other hand, Kyle who planned all this saw all the monsters standing around the tree leaving one by one. All following behind Bia, the moment she broke a fruit from the tree. They were all growling while showing their razor-sharp teeth.

He giggled a little before walking toward the tree leisurely and picked up all the remaining 8 fruits.

After placing all the fruits inside his storage ring, Kyle spoke inside his mind.

'Bia don't you dare lose the fruit, it's more precious than you. Come toward me after shaking off all the monsters who are behind you.'

Because they were bounded to each other, they were able to communicate even when Bia was a few kilometer's distance from Kyle.

Bia heard Kyle's voice inside her head and cursed.

-'You bastard, how dare you use this majestic me to do this ugly work.'

Not hearing her continue curing, Kyle started running in the opposite direction. Bia could find him through their connection, so he wasn't worried about her. Also, she was powerful enough to not die.

After running for almost 1 hour Kyle heard Bia again, he could also feel she was near him.

And just like Kyle thought, Bia appeared the next second her cursing got worse after she saw Kyle.

"Wait, I will give you half of it so don't be angry okay."

It took him more than an hour to calm Bia, in the end among the 9 acquired fruits bia took 5 and Kyle only had 4 left.

Yes, 9 fruits! Bia was more greedy than Kyle she didn't let go of the fruit even when more than 20 monsters were chasing her.

Kyle also compromised as she did all the work. He took out the map once again this time he was sure the map was real.

The first golden cross mark was indeed a treasure. He looked at the other cross marks near him and all of them were black.

Thinking about it for a while, Kyle decided to continue to head toward the tallest mountain. He will take all the treasures that appear around him.

.....

On the other hand, all the wolves and other monsters following Bia returned after she tricked them and disappeared with the fruit.

But their pupil dilated the moment they saw the tree, there wasn't even a single fruit.

They knew they were tricked!

The head wolf who seemed to be the leader of the pack went berserk. He have been waiting for the fruits to mature and drop and they disappeared just like that.
