The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 1635

Chapter 1635: It’s Contagious

Karl approached the clearing, and found that Hawk had already cleared a ten square metre portion for his space. That was enough to make him happy, as he didn’t want to flood the space with the same flowers.

"Alright, let’s start picking. Get them carefully, surround the roots with dirt and move the whole thing to your space without touching it. It’s the best and safest method." Nate warned.

Everyone began the work of picking the flowers, careful not to pull ones that were side by side.

It was a well-known trick in the Immortal Worlds that if you didn’t pick adjacent plants, anything monitoring the area was much less likely to pick up on the discrepancy.

The feeling would simply fade a little as you worked, instead of the feeling of the zone shrinking.

Hawk wasn’t quite doing that. He had a priority system to pick only the most mature and healthy plants, so he was taking under a third of what he found, though some were side by side.

That feeling that they were getting when they first arrived was getting stronger, and Mark suddenly stood and motioned for everyone to retreat.

"Get back into the trees, away from the orchard. Move like we’re just passing by it," he warned.

Karl followed the instructions, and the beasts all returned to his space, preparing for an ambush, should something come for them.

It was easier to jump out of their space and into position than it was to adjust while they were already out, especially for Opal and Hawk, who could appear in the air at quite a distance overhead from Karl.

Within seconds, the group was clear of the flower patch, and dozens of presences in the distance began to trigger Karl’s Mana Manipulation sense.

"There are others coming. Powerful ones, I suggest we keep moving," he whispered to the others.

"Alright, I know just where to go. There is an earth element cave not far from here. If we head directly toward that, we might be able to convince whoever is coming for the flowers that it wasn’t us who thinned the crop."

Mark led the way, with only Karl, Dana and Nyan visible behind him.

Nate and Jim were stealthy sorts, and the beasts were waiting in ambush, but Karl suspected that making their group look smaller might actually draw more aggression their way.

If the enemy thought that they could bully them, there was a real chance that they would try to force the group to turn over what they had.

From her space, Cara kept up a running commentary using her limited prophetic skills and her rather unique senses.

[They’ve gone to the flowers. One Elder and ten who have just finished their Immortal Spirit. None of them feel strong, and they’ve all got the same magical aura, so I think they all trained the same thing.] She narrated.

[They’re really broke, too. That guy can’t even afford a proper ride, so he’s flying on some beat up old sword.] Tian added.

Karl laughed, [He’s what?]

[Right? He’s just standing on his sword like an idiot, do you think that he’s just learning to fly and he needs support?]
