Novel Full Chapter 815 - Conversation
Sam and the tribe head are sitting together. He let his beasts out for a while. Even Mia.
There is a lake nearby and Mia is having a great time in the open water after a long while.
Dia, Raiju, Sky, Yanwu, Ape, and even the shadow mice are having a good time as they interacted with the baby cubs.
The most fun is always for the panthers. They are now as big as their mother now and they barely reached the Nascent stage. They are interacting with their peers in the bear tribe and they all are interacting with the cubs innocently.
It is quite ironic when we consider the number of people Sam and the people killed over time when they are still Nascent stage.
"You want to talk?"
Sam asked as he looked at the head bear.
When the bear is looking for Raiju, Sam said once again.
"I can understand the beast tongue. Don't worry."
{You can understand?}
"Yes, it is a gift I have. So, what is up with the war with these monkeys?"
{First, I want you to answer why you are here? It has been years since we saw a human this deep}
"Well, I am actually in search of your tribe. You see those beasts, the golden sunbird, the sky sovereign roc, the Raiju, that horse, they are all part of my family. I want to add another one here. So, I came to see if I can convince or befriend one of you. But I encountered a war here."
{Befriend? More like enslave.}
"You can talk to my friends. Speak as much as you like and ask them if they are enslaved or captured. I share a part of them with me."
Sam spoke and activated his bloodlines one by one.
"We are bound by a special bond. All the power I have is given to me by them. They are the ones that made me who I am and they are the ones that stayed with me along the path. I am not saying I never enslave beasts, I do, but not every beast, only some of them in special cases."
{Why would you want another beast? Their bloodlines are all superior to ours, even that mouse has a superior bloodline than us. What do you need us for?}
"They have what you don't and you have what they don't. I do care about the bloodline superiority but that is not all."
{What would you do if I send one with you?}
"That is too hard to explain. Anyway, I am the only one who is answering all the questions why don't you answer some of mine?"
{What do you want to know?}
"Why the war?"
{Resources.}
"What?"
{I don't know if you know this, the Orangutans have a high reproduction rate and their population increases easily. Their natural predators are nowhere near this area.
The forest here is actually having a too high a level of spiritual energy and it is extremely useful for the growth of the trees.
But that also brought another problem, the energy is too chaotic and not too refined and this caused the lower level fruits that are suitable for the diet of the cubs and young beasts are unable to grow here. They are dying of overnutrition.
This caused the Orangutans to invade many territories, they already destroyed a few tribes and barely any beasts survive their attacks. There is a tribe that was even driven to extinction.
They are pests, but their affinity with the forest is just too much. Only we could rival them. We tried unifying, but they are going against the newborn and others. We actually killed half of them by now because of our combined efforts.
Because of their reckless consumption, many of the fruit patches were destroyed and there were only a few patches left and those are in their territory.
It has been hard to survive.}
"Can you defend this area successfully?"
{We don't know. But we can try.}
"How about I help you solve that problem and let me have a chance to convince one of you to come with me?"
{If you can help us with that, you wouldn't even need to ask and try, they would willingly come with you.}
"Then let us get down to the business then. The first problem would be a good place for defense. This area seems nice. All you would need is proper adjustments for the defensive measures against them and the second thing is the lack of food.
I can give you the fruits that are actually more nutritious and more variety that grow faster than normal. The trees will be planted in this area.
As long as you defend it, then it would be great. Everything would be in your control."
{How can you do that?}
"Don't worry. It will be done soon. Just let my friends work for now. And I hope you wouldn't mind if I take the corpses of the Orangutans will you?"
{Not really. Their meat is not tasty anyway.}
"That is great."
Sam went to work immediately.
He called for the ghouls and the specter and went to the battlefield. The Ghouls created undead and the Specter conducted soul necromancy.
Sam is going to make a formation that was a standard from the books he read. It is a formation of a necromancer and as long as there is spiritual energy, it can be maintained with a proper supply of spirit stones or any other intake of energy.
It is called a necromancer's ring.
It is a classic but versatile formation used by many necromancers that defend their territories.
It can be made in any size and some shapes and many different necromancy techniques.
Sam decided to lay the ring down.
Meanwhile, Ape and the rest of the beasts along with the other bears that are fit enough to work are all working together to clear the whole hill.
The corpses are taken to the foot of the hill where Sam currently is, while they pulled out the tree stumps, dead trees, burned trees all the same.
While Sam is laying down the formation, Ape guided the rest of them to create the formation according to Sam's instructions and this time, Sam is going to use the trees as formation nodes.
His divine dimension has many orchards and it is no exaggeration to say that he has a forest in his possession.
But first, they transplanted some of the trees in the nearby forest and placed at the key nodes while planting some of Sam's own trees.
After it was done. Then came the trees from the divine dimension.
Most of the front side of the hill from where the invasion is possible, the trees are laid in different formations with minimum fruit trees.
After it was done, they went on to plant in the inner side of the hill, the peak and then the path leading to the valley and finally the valley.
It took three weeks to complete everything.
Ape is experienced in planting trees and the bears are good at growing them. With the help of formation discs, everything is easier. And most of them are transplanted, they are not exactly growing them from the scratch. This was easier.
Sam is mostly focused on the ring. It took the same time for him, the ghouls, and the specter to build it.
It is actually a large formation in the shape of an incomplete ring that enveloped most of the entry points. In that formation, the spiritual energy will be converted into death energy and fed to the undead creatures, the souls that turned into ghosts, and even the shadows if they want to.
But currently, they only used the corpses of the orangutans and their ghosts.
After three weeks of work, Sam said.
"The fruit trees are also planted. I think they would be enough for the time being. As for the formation, as long as there is no serious damage it wouldn't be a problem.
Most of the time they wouldn't even come past that and any possible breach will give you a big enough signal and I am sure you are not afraid of confrontation on a higher level.
All the fruit trees grow faster and have a large yield and you can grow them continuously into the valley and make the whole mountain region your space with this hill as a base.
Is that enough?"
{This is more than enough actually. I am quite surprised by this new change. How did you pull that off?}
"Well, it is not that complicated and it is not my idea. It was studied and used anyway. So, now can I meet my new friend?"
{Of course, you can take him with you. But you have to stay for a few days before you go. And also your new friend happened to be our best on his own level and wants to have a little competition with you and your beasts.}
"That wouldn't be a problem at all."
