Ace Of Terrans

Shi Lang had been laying in the ditch silently the entire night. He did not even take a breath too strongly. During the night he spotted the Human Figure move around many times. However, he did not appear on the mountain.

The Terran had an objective now, it was to find out a pattern in the appearances of the human figure. Everywhere he appeared, he waited for a few seconds before vanishing. Shi Lang was confused if the man was performing a patrol routine or just out for a stroll. His movements were random.

The sun came up and soon Shi Lang was on the move. He was quick in his steps but did not leave any traces behind. His suit also isolated his odor. Shi Lang was worried that the legendary beasts would be sensitive to the human scent.

His worries were not baseless, these spirit beasts were the sovereigns of this region and slightest change in the aroma or the surroundings did not go unnoticed from their senses.

Shi Lang made his way to the few spots where the human figure had appeared last night, however, he did not find anything odd. After checking two spots he decided to move and investigate the place where the human figure had slaughtered a few spirit beasts.

After half an hour when he reached their he discovered the corpses of the spirit beasts. He did not move closer to the corpses, what if the human figure could detect that someone has touched its prey? Shi Lang's battle suit was equipped with nano-probes.

He used them to conduct an investigation about the corpses condition. After a few moments, he was surprised, because while the body was torn apart in two segments, there was not a single trace of blood inside them.

Shi Lang could not understand how that was possible, but then it clicked to him, it was very possible that the human figure from earlier had consumed all the blood essence of the spirit beast for its own use.

Shi Lang could not help but feel his hair stand on their ends. This was not the first time he had come across cannibalistic creatures, but the viciousness of killing and then consuming the life essence was a very cruel process.

He sighed and stood up to leave the place quickly after recalling the nano-probes. They were not to be left behind and detected by the legendary beasts. Shi Lang moved deeper in the mountain range and in this place he understood the meaning of the strong bullying the weak in real sense.

After a weak, he found that every human figure would hunt for the spirit beasts. They will find the weakest of them and tear them apart. After a week, Shi Lang was laying on a ridge inside a cave when he sensed something and his body entered a suspended animation state.

Every function of his body was closed off, no one would count him as alive at this moment. Why did he do so? It was because seven human figures all gathered at the entrance of the cave. Shi Lang would be lying if he was to say that he was not scared. The Terran was so scared that he almost shat himself.

Seven human figures meant seven legendary beasts. Shi Lang decisively closed his body functions and even stopped circulating his sensory ability anymore. However, before he had gone to lay to rest inside the cave, he did set up the probes on the surface and they were recording and observing the surrounding for him.

...

The seven people walked inside the cave and one of them snapped his fingers. A fire ball appeared in the middle of them and illuminated the dark cave. Seven people were dressed in silk robes and looked very beautiful and unworldly. People would have called them fairies if not for the fact that they had animalistic features on their faces.

A man with snake like eyes said, "Have you all heard the news?"

The people nodded and a woman with a deer antler poking out of her head said, "Master Flame is getting ready for a tribulation. Is that what you are talking about, Salazar?"

Salazar was the snake eyed man. He replied, "Yes, Miss Livia. I am talking about that news only. These days the flame lion clan has been very alert and they are prohibiting even looking in their direction. It is getting out of control."

One person with black spots on his forehead said, "It is indeed true that they are acting a bit too paranoid, but who can blame them? Last time they trusted the process and Master Kun attacked their patriarch during the tribulation. Although both of the clans have been maintaining neutrality since then.

However, now that Master Flame is again approaching the tribulation, it will be hard to say what Master Kun might pull off."

The others nodded and Miss Livia said, "I suggest that we all stay away from this ruckus. Last time we tried to intervene and our clans suffered great losses. What do you all think?"

Salazar sighed and said, "If we draw lines with them, then as weak clans we would not be able to withstand the isolation that follows. You know we have to rely on them for many things."

Livia sighed and said, "They also have to rely on us for many things otherwise will they be able to enjoy their daily lives with all smiles and arrogance? These people use us as handymen and in return provide us with resources, but don't we all know how they despise us because of incomplete transformations? Who caused us to be like this?"

The man with black spots said, "Monopolizing the pure grade resources and letting us suffer the side effects of defective ones. That is what they do always."

The conversation went on and on and eventually it turned into the a ranting session. Suddenly, they all fell quite and the conversation took a u-turn. They were now praising the big clans and how they should guard Master Flame against any potential threat from Master Kun.

The reason they did this was the impending arrival of a person who they could not mess with. After a few minutes, a young man walked inside the cave and all seven dignitaries knelt to the ground. The young man looked no different than a human. He had no animalistic feature.

The seven people greeted him, "Greetings, Young Master Flame."

The young man waved his hand and said, "Have you come up with a protection detail?"

The seven of them nodded and began to describe him what they thought while they were on their knees. They did not even raise their heads to look at the young man. After half an hour the young man said, "Do well and I will get your people some more resources."

The seven people replied, "Thank you for your grace, Young Master."

The young man did not even say anything before leaving. After a few minutes, the people stood up from the ground and Salazar said, "Thank god for the fact that he cannot control his overwhelming spiritual sense."

The people nodded and then after discussing for a bit they decided to leave too. Shi Lang was like a corpse that had melted and bonded with the cave wall. That was why he escaped the spiritual sense of the Young Master.

After detecting that there was no moment in the cave, the nano probes glided through the void and came to settle back on Shi Lang's body before discharging a neural shock on the patch of skin behind his neck.

The small jolt made the Terran jumpstart his body and the functions soon resumed. The nano probes settled inside the suit and then the man spent an entire night, watching and listening to the footage of the meeting.

He did not expect that even among the legendary beasts their were discriminations and to think they despised humans. Such hypocrites these people were. The journey continued, and Shi Lang faced many challenges, sometimes he almost got caught. However, his gadgets helped him a lot.

Soon, he was in the southern part of the mountain range and the soul jade on his waist shook. Shi Lang quickly locked in on the direction, and began to follow the direction. The Terran was excited but suddenly a calm voice sounded behind him, "You intend to die by entering the trap, don't you?"

He froze in his spot. The voice and the words of this person have been watching him for a long time now. How did he not trace her on his sensory ability. Suddenly, the voice said, "Do not think too much, quickly follow my directions if you wish to live. The flame lion clan is heading over to your side."

Shi Lang was stunned but he did not know if he could believe a stranger's word. The lady said, "You can choose to die if you want to I will send your pieces back home to your family."

The Terran sighed and ran in the direction told by the strange voice.
