Chapter 152 - 152: Is This How You Greet Your Guests?

10 kilometres away from Cloud Peak near a valley White Fang and the group were hiding behind the tree.

"Isn't this the place of your friend? So why are we hiding?" White Fang looked at Valour and said unhappily. They have been waiting here for some time already which made her unhappy.

They are here to collect resources not play hide and seek.

"T-This" Valour was tongue tied after listening to White Fang. Shouldn't we be sneaky since we are here to rob someone?

"Yes, let's enter the place directly. We are wasting time by hiding like this." Snowball was also discontent about this. So after saying this he took the lead to enter the valley.

Others followed his lead as they entered the valley without any fear.

"We should get some intelligence first, right?" Valour hurriedly persuaded them after seeing their actions.

"Intelligence my ass! We are here to greet someone not to make enemies." Snowball rolled his eyes and said disdainfully.

Seeing that his words have no effect on this group of people, Valour has no choice but to follow them.

At Least with them he can feel safe. Although he followed their wished he couldn't be careless so started to explain about the creatures living in the valley.

"This valley is the residence of the Panther tribe. There are more than 100 panthers in the tribe, Their strength varied from Qi Condensation Realm to the peak of Foundation realm ...."

"These panthers are very thrifty and amiable as they have hobbies to collect resources. So it's highly possible that we can get a lot of resources from this place.."

'These group of panthers are petty and arrogant. They have a hobby of snatching other resources.' Valour thought to himself. Since he is calling them friends then he has to praise them and cover up their bad points.

Later if things are different from what he said then he could just say that friends have changed hehe…. 

Just as he was thinking about this not far away from them there was some movement.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

One after another black shadow sprang up from the surrounding trees. 

On a closer look, One could see that these black shadows are panthers. One metre big panther with dark blue hair surrounded them.

At this moment they bared their fangs at them and their eyes were filled with obvious hostility.

The appearance of the panthers surprised White Fang and others. The only one who remained calm is Valour as he knew about them beforehand.

Not only that he saw a familiar panther in this group which made him sneer involuntarily.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass our home?" A panther stood in front of them. Appearance wise this panther is similar to others but he is fatter than others. 

But this does not affect his fierce expression as he glanced at everyone with killing intent in his eyes.

"We? We are here to visit his friends!" White Fang doesn't seem to notice their hostility as she said in a relaxed manner. While saying this she pointed at Valour who was standing besides them.

In an instant everyone's attention was focused on Valour as there was deep doubt in their eyes.

A friend? Whose friend?

Valor looked at the fat panther and said with a grin, "Fatty, What's with the confused face? Did you forget about me, Valor? I am so sad~"

The expression on Fat Panther changed as he looked at Valour with an incredulous expression, "T-T-This are you Valour?" 

The Fat Panther couldn't even believe his own words. After breakthrough the appearance of Valour has changed drastically so even the closest person to him may not recognise him but his voice is still the same thus Fat Panther was able to recognise him.

And this is the reason why he is stunned! Just a few months ago this tiger was on the verge of dying and now not only does he look like you, but his cultivation has risen to Foundation realm!...

WTF? Am I dreaming? The Fat Panther thought to himself in disbelief.

Seeing his stunned face Valour chuckled and said, "Oh my friend, You are having a good life. Looks like you are still getting a lot of resources…" 

The Fat Panther is also in the Foundation realm which is the same as before. 

"Humph! So what? Are you here to settle the accounts? Just with your punt strength?" Hearing him the Fat Panther recovered from his shocked state and sneered disdainfully.

"You are filled with confidence because of your cultivation, right? Do you think with your cultivation you can do anything? I have to say you are stupid! There are many Foundation Realms in my tribe, not to mention…"

"...My father has entered the Core Formation Realm!" The Fat Panther said proudly as he looked at Valour with interest. He hoped to see his shocked and scared face after listening to this news.

But it's too bad that his wish was not fulfilled as Valour was calm as ever as this news did not surprise him at all.

The Fat Panther was thrown into confusion because of this reaction.

How can he still maintain an unfazed look? Is he not afraid? Or does he have a backup too? 

The Fat panther thought to himself suspiciously as he looked at White Fang and others. Looking at them Fat Panter was terrified. Adding Valour there are three Foundation Realm beasts in this group.

As for the other two he cannot see their(White Fang, Menna) cultivation so he assumed that both of them are at the Peak of Foundation realm.

As for the possibility of being a Core Formation realm? This thought never appeared in his mind.

'I can't get in a conflict with them otherwise my death is guaranteed. I need to find a chance to escape and bring my father…' Although the Fat Panther may look silly, he is very shrewd. He knows how to judge the situation. Since the situation is unfavourable to him he made a decision to retreat.

"Humph! What's with the nonsense! Is this how you treat your guests? Really you lot are uncivilised!" White Fang looked at the Panther around them and said in dissatisfaction.

How can they talk nonsense for so long? She didn't come here to get bored.

Valour rolled his eyes after listening to White Fang, 'How can you not judge the situation? We are not friends!' 

The Fat panther who wanted to retreat stopped and looked at White Fang with confusion. Guests? 

'Are they not here for conflict?' 

'It seems that these people's motives are not unified? In that case…'

'Are they here for something? They want something from us?...'

'So what is this Valour doing? Could it be..'

The Fat Panther eyes flickered as a smile appeared on his face and he said, "Haha, Yes! It's my fault. Since you are guests of our Panther Tribe we would receive you properly."

Valour was dumbfounded after seeing his reaction. What is he doing? Are we going to fight or not? 

Seeing Valour's dumbfounded face Fat Panther sneered inwardly.

'Humph! Humph! You wanted to create a conflict and reap the benefits?'

'Do you think I am an idiot?'

'Since they have different motives then I will go along with them and bring them to my father…'

'At that time hehe…'

After thinking about this Panther was very proud about his own intelligence. He felt that he saw through the other party's plan and ruined it.

"Let's go! Bring the guests to the tribe." The Fat panther said to the other panthers around them.

Others nodded and obeyed his orders and led the way.

"Not bad!" White Fang was pleased after seeing this scene as she said to Valour, "Lazy cat! You have some good friends."

Valour was speechless about the turn of events and didn't know how to reply.

Celli, who was behind them, picked up Snowball and said in a low voice, "Snowball, After we enter inside you go and look for the location where they store resources." 

Unlike White Fang, Celli knew that the other party had hostility toward them so she started to make some adjustments beforehand.

"Later we will attract their attention and Snowball will look for resources, Do you understand?" Celli looked at Menna, Valour and Snowball and gave instructions.

Snowball and Menna nodded with excitement and Valour nodded too.

'At least one of them has a plan and is clear about the situation…'

"What are you guys talking about?" White Fang saw them acting secretly and said.

"We are discussing how to greet them later." Celli looked at her and said. It would be better to enlighten her about the situation but she felt this might make things more difficult as she would directly get in conflict with them.

It's better to tell her about this after they get resources.
