Chapter 80 Green Cored Beast Arrives 3...
One kid received a slap from the Male Green skinned shadow beast that removed his entire lower jaw while still having the privilege of twisting his neck a full one hundred and eighty degrees to the back.
This beast was alike a toddler playing with its food.
If the sky was a bit brighter, the splashing of blood and flesh like torn out rag would have made for the unfortunate poetic scene of a horror movie from Chiron's former world.
However, under the moon light, the red liquid was like any other.
The children screamed and ran in panic. Some of them threw down their swords and went on their knees in prayer to their ancestor's spirit. An unfortunate mistake that caused them their lives.
In this cultivation world, it was expected that children mature fast. The world was a dangerous place. And a sense of danger and responsibility were the propellers that guided young ones on the path of maturity.
Children that grew up in more dangerous environment realized early in life that the world was a very cruel place.
However, at the end of the day, they were still children. When faced with with the side of the world that was this cruel, many of their minds could not just take it, and many of them break down.
Some of them were screaming for their mummies and daddies, while some of them immediately searched for a place to hide.
However, they were still some of them that were actually bold enough to try and face the beast.
This children had different families. many of them had parents that were experienced cultivators and had provided their children with a back up plan that would save their lives.
Such as sealing scrolls for protection.
One boy immediately activated his own and a copper like spirit light formed a circle with him within. Another boy saw this an immediately ran to him, "Please! let me in. Let me in! I don't want to die! I don't..."
*SWOOSH!*
The unfortunate descent of the grim reaper's sickle in form of the Green skinned shadow leopard's claw made its cut and sent the boy's soul to the after life.
Meanwhile, it tried to break the seal surrounding the other boy, but could not.
It was total chaos on all angles.
However, as Carla and some of the other children ran for their lives, she remembered something. Just before they left for this test, the Elders had given each team leader a scroll in case of any emergency.
In the chaos and the fight for survival, they had totally forgotten.
The three Elders job during the test was to ensure that the test was conducted without the interference of other wild creatures. Each of them stayed at different far away positions to ensure this.
However, the problem was not external but internal. The problem was from within the testing ground itself.
Carla immediately opened the scroll and with a bit of her spirit energy, she activated the scroll. A red signal like fireworks during the Chinese new year shot straight up into the sky.
Cablen saw this and also removed his own scroll. He did the same thing Carla did.
Two other team leaders had been fortunate enough to have not yet died by the beast's claws and also did the same thing.
However, as they did, they did not stop for even a moment for a breather. Legs not moving literally meant legs never moving again for life.
The entire area around the nest was empty of living people. blood and gut scattered everywhere like the after party of a monkey's banana feast.
The entire place carried the strong aroma of blood, and if it was day time, one would have found that the plants were no longer green. The plants of the surrounding area had all taken the color of blood.
The beast had temporarily stopped its rampage. It went back to the female green skinned shadow leopard that was lying limply on the ground.
It had lost a lot of blood, and was slowly dying. It growled lowly and the male came by its side and tried to lick its wounds, but it was all in vain. Slowly, the growling stopped and the breathing of the female green skinned leopard totally seized.
It had died.
The Male Green skinned leopard growled lowly in sadness, but there was nothing it could do. It turned towards the nest. And that was when it noticed something wrong.
It sniffed around the nest in search of the male egg, but it was not there. It sniffed some more and then it turned its head in the direction Chiron had ran.
*GRRRWWWLLL!*
It growled loudly and headed in the direction Chiron had moved, diving into the nightly shadow on the ground.
....
Meanwhile, Chiron was still running. He ran as fast as he could still carrying Nora. The thought of dropping her did not cross his mind for even a moment.
She was his ticket to getting aura. There was no way in hell he was letting the Green skinned leopard hurt his most precious commodity.
And then he saw the fire works in the sky. He too had almost forgotten about that.
"Ra ra! activate your call for help too."
The moment she saw the others send the signal, she already planned to do so.
She activated the scroll and the firework signal was sent into the sky.
However, even as she did, Chiron still did not feel safe.
His mind raced for what to do.
In his mind, he immediately willed, "System! Send ten points to STRENGTH. Twenty Points to AGILITY and ten points to LUCK."
The moment he did, his speed increased and Nora felt a lot lighter on his shoulder. However, he still had a terrible feeling at the back of his mind.
And then instinctively, he avoided a thick darker shadow in front of him and followed its side.
*GRRRWWLLL!* the beast growled loudly as a Paw stretched out of it. Its sharp claws coming right for Chiron's legs...
