Chapter 150: Encounter 1

150- Encounter 1

Today is the 6th day since I left the Lamia tribe with Armelia and June.

The sun was shining high in the sky and it's now afternoon time. And worst case, it’s summer season and the temperature is high. But luckily, we are in the Dark Forest where the trees are very tall, at least more than 40 meters which blocks most of the sunlight and we are able to escape from the tragedy called – sunburns.

But wait this is not the planet that I used to live on, here I have a strong body.

Just one more day, and I can get out of this forest. I am hardly able to control myself.

Actually, with my speed, within few hours I can easily run out of the forest but since we are being secretive and avoiding dangers, we took a long path which increased the time.

“Husband and Aunt June, can we take a break? I am tired and hungry.”

Armelia sat on the ground and requested.

Although I am barely tired, I guess it's not a bad idea to take a small break and fill our stomachs.

So, I agreed and June, like always barely nodded and did not even bother to open her mouth.

It was decided that June will search for food and Armelia & I will gather wood to prepare the fire and get done with all the preliminary steps in cooking.

Within few minutes, we were able to gather wood and prepare the fire. And in our storage rings, few herbs that could be used for cooking were available, so everything was easy.

While we were waiting for June to return, few sounds fell in my ears,

“.... ult”

“... fault.”

“No, it's your fault.”

“Don’t talk rubbish, it was clearly you who made me miss my shot.”

“Yeah, right. While you were aiming for that Blue-eyed Leopard, you failed to pay attention to your surroundings and stepped on a branch which broke and its sound made the Blue eyed leopard alert and we missed a perfect chance to kill it in one strike. But luckily, Senior Brother Ethan shot and defeated that monster.”

“Look who is talking. Did you forget, when our sect brothers and sisters managed to encircle a Copper Toothed Bear and you were asked to sneak attack it but instead of getting closer to it, you alerted it and a senior brother almost lost his life because of trying to save you.”

From these sounds, I realized that it belonged to a male and a female. And their voices are getting closer, which means they are heading towards us. But suddenly a loud and sharp male’s voice interrupted the bickering of those two [male and female].

“SHUT UP, are you two trying to attract other monsters or humans? And don’t forget that this time we are here for an important thing.”

‘Hmm... seems like they have something interesting going on. Sigh... if I was alone, I would have followed them with [Stealth] skill and see what they are up to. Looks like I have to kill my curiosity.’

I thought inwardly.

While talking that guy with the other two had already got closer to us and got into my field of vision.

A tall guy with 190 cm height, was followed by two humans.

I guess that tall guy must be the so-called ‘Senior brother’ and the two followers must be the people who were just fighting/ bickering.

2 males and 1 female.

It's been almost 2 years since the hunting group incident and that was the last time I came into contact with humans. And after that, I did not even see the shadow of any other human. well of course, except for my own shadow and the transformed monsters.

The so-called ‘Senior brother’ wore purple robes, with a sword hanging at his waist. He has a good height and a medium build. Not too muscular, and not too skinny. Just normal. His skin was as white as snow, it definitely increased his chances of attracting women. But the most impressive feature would be, his hair- purple. They looked pretty daunting in my opinion.

As for the other male, he wore yellow robes, but they looked pretty normal, unlike the [senior brother’s] clothes, which looked pretty expensive. He held a bow in his hand and a blade hung around his waist. But he had dark skin and looked very thin. He has black hair. His height was just a little bit shorter than the ‘Senior brother’.

As for the female, she has fair skin and a cute appearance. She was the shortest among the three, with almost a height of 172 cm more or less. She has blonde hair and her hair is tied into two ponytails. She was also carrying a sword.

And similarly, I and Armelia were in their field of vision.

“Senior brother, it seems there are people in front of us.”

Said the yellow robed guy. Then the so called ‘senior brother’ looked at us warily and his eyes were sharp.

After a second, they walked towards us and the ‘senior brother’ changed his expression from a cold face to an innocent face, with a good smile.

“Hello, mister. My name is Ethan Wolker and this my Junior brother, Jashan Rai, and my Junior sister- Pamila Jacos.”

While Ethan the ‘Senior brother’ introduced himself, he kept walking and got closer.

But when he was 15 meters away from us, I said,

“Don’t come closer, if you anything to speak, you can speak from there.”

The reason I did not let him continue advancing towards us is that the first ability of the ‘charm; stat- [Perception & Intuition] got activated and I felt the slight killing intent radiating from him.

Then I used the ‘Observation’ skill, on them, I found their cultivations

‘Human stage of Transformation realm’

‘Peak of Demi-Human stage’

‘Peak of Demi-Human stage’

‘The Senior brother’ Ethan had the cultivation of the ‘Human stage’ and the other two had the cultivation of ‘Peak of the Demi-human stage’ and they had almost equal strength. But I felt that their strength was multiple times stronger than the ‘bald guy’ whom I killed 2 years ago. Almost, similar to those ‘demi-human’ stage humans from the kingdom.

As for the ‘Senior brother’ Ethan, I feel that his strength is almost equal to mine, and worst case, his strength might have even surpassed mine but only by a small degree. But the chances for that are low. And even if he really is stronger than me, I still have lots of cards, so no need to worry. And any minute, June will also return, so not a big deal.
