Chapter 72: 72. Whisper Tree
Kai became disappointed after checking his bloodline ability. His bloodline ability is called [Darkness Absorption].
Using Darkness Absorption, Kai can absorb the darkness in his surroundings and buff himself. He can also store that energy in his bloodline and use it at a later time.
Although this ability isn't heaven-defying, it was a good one. But Kai hoped to get a good one, like his Evergreen ability.
'It is better than nothing. If I rank my bloodline according to grade, it should be Mystic level.' Kai thought to himself and used his Will Power to activate the defensive formation.
Kai was surprised after using his Will Power, he could now see a lot of dark-colored particles floating in the air.
"I didn't expect that obtaining a bloodline would be a surprise."
Kai unexpectedly unlocked the dark element, and now he could manipulate the darkness law using Will Manipulation.
'This will give me a great advantage in the plan. Now I need to become familiar with this ability and execute the plan.'
Kai tried activating his bloodline ability. Soon, the darkness element in his surroundings gathered around him and was absorbed into his body.
'I didn't use my Will Power, but the elements are gathered inside my body.' Kai wondered.
The dark elements were stored in his bloodline as energy. Kai tried activating the ability, and soon the strength of the entire body increased.
'I didn't expect it would also increase my soul and Will power. Maybe this is the specialty of bloodline ability.'
The absorption energy not only increased Kai's physical strength but also his soul and Will Power.
With sudden surprise, Kai began training to get familiar with the ability. He also used his parallel thinking ability to find a method to use Heavenly aura to hide himself.
Kai had been deducing this method since the formation training, but he wasn't successful at it. He didn't understand the mechanism of the heavens, and he wasn't even capable of sensing it properly.
He only knows about the existence of the aura; other than that, he didn't progress a single bit. But he did it anyway since he didn't waste any time on it.
After getting familiar with his bloodline ability, Kai left the place. Before leaving the tree house, he placed a hidden formation to hide the entrance.
Kai arrived at the location of Thunder Ape. It was sleeping like always. Kai waited patiently, and he spread the insect to spy on the surroundings.
After waiting for more than a month, the thunder ape doesn't seem to be leaving the place.
'What the hell happened during the time of my absence?' Kai wondered, and he immediately used his Cosmic Awareness ability to obtain the information.
Kai clenched his fist in anger after finding the information.
A group of Tier 3 beasts provoked the thunder ape after Kai left the place. The thunder ape killed all of them in a single strike, and it took their bodies as food and stored them.
There were more than 100 Tier 3 beasts killed by the ape, so it didn't have to worry about food for more than a year.
It doesn't even need food to maintain its body, but it seems the thunder ape developed the habit of eating at regular intervals.
'I can't wait that long; I already wasted too much time on a single fragment.'
Kai didn't want to waste any more time in this place; he wanted to go back to the Enlightenment World. He wasn't able to cultivate the Qi path in the Death Abyss because of the absence of Qi.
'Maybe I should try some crazy idea to distract the ape.'
Kai wanted to attract a strong beast by using him as bait and luring it towards the thunder ape. He wanted both of them to fight against each other and obtain the benefits.
Kai left the place in search of a powerful beast that was capable of holding back the ape for some time.
'The real problem here is that I don't think I could escape from a Tier 4 beast.'
Kai finally decided to find a peak Tier 3 beast with a high-level bloodline. It was the only viable option for him.
'Maybe I should find a pair; two is better than one.'
After searching for a long time, Kai found the perfect target as a sacrifice.
It was Whisper Tree, a dryad. It lives in a group, and their speed is also slow.
'I only need to be careful about their number.'
There are more than fifty Whisper Trees; Kai needs to provoke them and lure them to the thunder ape.
Their attack is more oriented towards binding, so it is easier for Kai to lure them. All of them are Tier 3, and there are even ten peak Tier 3 ones. Their defense was already comparable to that of a Tier 4 beast at this stage, so it was a perfect target for sacrifice.
Kai went near their location and used his willpower to burn their territory.
The Whisper Trees became angry and used their vines and branches to capture him. Kai dodged and increased the intensity of the flame.
Fire was their weakness since they are wood elements in nature. The Whispers became furious and used their leave to attack.
The sharp leaves capable of injuring him fatally arrived like rain. But Kai watched everything calmly without any nervousness on his face.
After the attack taught him, Kai used his Will Shield and also directly burned most of them using his resonance with the surroundings.
Seeing that the attack didn't even scratch the intruder, the whispering tree finally took the battle seriously and got up for the battle.
They uprooted themselves from the ground; the branches became akin to hands, and their roots became legs. More than fifty trees suddenly left the place, leaving the forest empty.
Seeing his plan going very well, Kai started running in the direction of the thunder ape.
