BXBX NOVEL Chapter 229 229
In order to obtain the help of the other nearby tribes, the easy way is for the Waterside Tribe exchange the method of potato farming
No, in actuality, what they give out in exchange is the way to cook the potatoes to become edible, and only then would these tribes desire the method to farm potatoes. Either of the two is extremely simple
The only reason why these people don't know about such things was because it was hard to maintain knowledge from one generation to another
People often died and every day, an entire tribe was annihilated. With how hard life is, how could it be easy to pass down knowledge?
In actuality, it wouldn't be bad if Rezen were to use the easier method to obtain the other tribes' help since as long as his farm recovers, he doesn't believe that he could not raise the strength of the Waterside Tribe
However, there was one thing that Rezen desired and that is the possibility that the Metal Sword Tribe might possess a treasure
The Chief of the Waterside Tribe has a usable magic artifact while Skinny Yan has a broken magic artifact. Even such people from a small tribe possess such things, and there is a possibility that the Metal Sword Tribe is the same
If Rezen were to incur the wrath of several tribes and rally them to attack the Metal Sword Tribe, he might be able to steal the possible treasure that the tribe possessed
Rezen doesn't ask for 'much', all he wants is a magic artifact or something similar that could help him fully recover his farm. That's the only thing he needs
Searching for mana stone mines in the forest is dangerous and there is also no guarantee that Rezen would succeed. It would be better if he were to obtain a similar thing to Skinny Yan's ring
For that slight possibility, Rezen is making plans to eradicate an entire tribe. He truly has become crueler than before
For the sake of his goals, he is willing to do anything even if it is something that would dirty his hands
With that kind of resolve, Rezen continued as he conjured a magic circle
He stretched his hand out and from it, a metallic gray magic circle formed
"[Metal Stream!]"
Rezen casts the simplest stream spell of the metal element but no matter how simple the stream spell was, it is still not to be underestimated
Just because something is simple does not mean that it was weak!
"Courting death!"
One of the four stepped out as the wind-type Resonance Gem floats in the air. With the help of the gem, the mage's sensitivity to the element of wind rose and he was given access to magic
"[Wind Stream!]"
The mage decided to block a stream spell with another stream spell and one gray and one green stream of energy clashed in the air
"Ah?!" The mage from the Windy Tribe immediately felt pressure. He found out that his stream spell was actually being pushed back by Rezen's stream spell
Humans of the Savage Beast Realm might have spent their lives constantly fighting against magic beasts but they lack knowledge
Rezen obtained knowledge thanks to his mysterious peaches and bananas. In terms of magical knowledge, the magic apprentices of the small tribes don't have the ability to match him
As they say, knowledge is power and thanks to Rezen's knowledge, his magic spells are also generally stronger compared to the tribesmen
"Brother, we'll help!" The remaining two magic apprentices also sent their mana to their Resonance Gem and they gained access to magic
They couldn't possibly just stand there and do nothing while their family is being attacked for no reason
"[Wind Stream!]"
"[Wind Stream!]"
The two tribesmen also cast wind-type stream spells and two more torrents of wind energies flew in the air and targeted Rezen
However, no fear could be seen on Rezen's face. He was still completely calm as if everything was under his control
While maintaining the [Metal Stream] spell that was overpowering his opponent, Rezen casts more spells
"Huh?"
The two magic apprentices suddenly found that on their feet, small magic circles formed and they moved reflexively to jump away
"[Metal Spikes!]"
From the ground, sharp spikes of metal rose but they were unable to hit their targets
No matter what, people of this realm still spent their lives fighting. Their battle reflexes were not that bad
However, due to moving around, the spells of these two faltered, giving Rezen a chance to dodge
Since the [Metal Boots] were still in effect, Rezen's speed was faster than normal and he succeeded in dodging all while successfully overpowering his opponent
The clash between the [Metal Stream] and [Wind Stream] ended up with Rezen's victory
His spell slammed on his helpless opponent's face and he was forced backward while coughing out fresh blood
However, while Rezen won the clash, he suddenly felt a throbbing pain in his head and he realized his mistake
This was not the earth realm where he has an endless supply of recovery pills as such, the way he fought previously shouldn't be applied here
If he uses all of his mana or he casts several spells at once, he would either be unable to use magic due to the lack of mana or lose consciousness due to the fatigue on his soul
He just broke earth's influence and is still adapting to the new environment, acting this recklessly in a battle wouldn't do him good
Still, thanks to this experience, Rezen realized his mistake early on since there was no magic beast this time to divide the attention of his targets. With this realization, he could make the necessary adjustments
"Ah! No! Brother!" The mage that Rezen previously injured with his sword shouted worriedly
Originally, this tribesman thought that the combination of his three other brothers are enough to kill Rezen
He didn't expect that they would be suppressed by Rezen like this
"[Wind Arrows!]" the injured tribesman despite the injury on his shoulder still casts his spell and three long arrows of wind formed
If that wasn't enough, the other two from earlier that dodged the [Metal Spikes] also casts the [Wind Stream] spell once more
Three arrows and two torrents of wind energies targeted Rezen. If he could indiscriminately use one spell after another like before, these much are nothing but things are different now
As such, Rezen has to be smarter and instead of tackling those spells head-on, he decided to dodge
They are inside a forest and there are trees in the surroundings. Rezen utilized these trees and used them to his advantage
The trees blocked him from the vision of his enemies, making it hard for them to land an attack on him
In the end, the wind spells were only able to abuse the surrounding trees but it was not as if the tribesmen are useless idiots when it comes to fighting
"[Drifting Wind!]"
One of them casts the [Drifting Wind] spell on another person and his body covered with winds moved in a straight line where he predicted Rezen would run to
The prediction was actually correct and Rezen was forced to halt before he changed his direction and utilizes the trees once more
However, these people are also quite good. The one that was boosted by the [Drifting Wind] spell was not the caster as such, he has room to cast his spells
"[Wind Bullets!]"
"[Wind Bullets!]"
This tribesman conjured two magic circles at once and these magic circles fired bullets of wind toward Rezen
Since wind-type magic has greater speed compared to metal-type magic, Rezen could not outrun them when the bullets are this close to him
Not to mention, the bullets would just penetrate the trees even if Rezen hides in them
Because of the difference in the laws, people of this realm generally don't have any problem reaching the 6th level or the peak of the magic apprentice rank. However, their spells are not as devastating as the mages on the earth realm
6th fusion rank mages from the earth realm could literally crush mountains and split the seas but things are different here. But even then, these magic apprentices still have no problem breaking and penetrating trees with their spells
As a result, Rezen was forced to face the bullets of winds head on
"[Metal Wall!]" Rezen slammed his foot on the ground as he condensed his magic circle
Before the bullets of wind could hit him, a wall of metal was already erected in front of him
While metal magic loses out against wind magic in terms of speed, its durability on the other hand is one of the best. The [Metal Wall] shouldn't have any problem blocking the [Wind Bullets]
Unfortunately, Rezen doesn't only have one enemy as another one appeared behind him with the aid of yet another speed-boosting spell
"[Blessing of the Wind!]"
