Chapter 53 Light Yellow Forest

"Why that place!?" Brustiar blurted it out loud. "That place is too dangerous for these little guys."

"Yes, you are right." A voice sounded beside him, agreeing with Brustiar.

It was man who had the same characteristic as Brustiar, indicating he was from Burnheart Family. He had almost the same build as Brustiar, but he was just older than him, as there were white hairs in many places.

He was Gravitar, the head elder of the Burnheart Family. He'd been out of town for a few days on a mission. He quickly finished his mission and quickly came back, as he couldn't miss such a big event.

Gravitar squinted his eyes at Odino and said."I do now know what he is up to."

On the other hand, 'Lenny' was quite confused, so he raised his eyebrows. Kaley saw 'Lenny's confusion and guessed that he was not from this place, so he didn't know anything of it.

So, she decided to play the role of teaching him. "It seems you don't about this place, Lenny. Then let me tell you what this place is."

"Light Yellow Forest is an attraction and dangerous place of our town. This forest stretches until it connects to the next town. This forest's unique aspect is that the trees growing on its soil would have their leaves turn yellow."

"This color change might not be that special, but there is something else that makes this forest more weird. If we squeeze those yellow leaves, honey would come out."

"Wha!?" 'Lenny' was stumped after hearing that, he almost blurted out some words and broke his character, but he quickly recovered and resumed his personality.

Kaley didn't suspect him much, as it was right to be a bit shocked after hearing that. She then further explained. "This honey has the effect of increasing cultivation. However, it only works in the first stages of the Qi Refinement Realm. Later, the cultivators don't feel any effect after eating the honey. So, it is not looted or sought by many."

"But that is not the case for beasts. They lives are most spent in the nature, so this place is a great place for them. It has food and effect to increase your cultivation little by little. We humans may be in a hurry to advance, but not beasts. They spend most of their life time idling and sleeping. So, Light Yellow Forest attracted many beasts toward it."

'Lenny' aka Jasmine, felt she had gained new knowledge about the geography of the world. She had been caged in the compound of the Burnheart Family since childhood. Fortunately, she had a good master, which was Gale's mother. She taught her many things as much as she could, but unfortunately, she had to leave this world early on.

"Now, I hereby announce the start of the annual selection process of the White Jade Sect." Odino said, amplifying his voice much more than before, filling everyone with enthusiasm. "Open the gates!"

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The three giant gates of the arena opened simultaneously. The participants didn't care about anything or anyone. They started sprinting towards their destination.

The people in the streets were dumbfounded by the sudden wave of young boys and girls rushing in the same direction. They were worried that something bad might happen. Luckily, they didn't fight or do accesseive inside the town.

Odino said to Roy and Joy. "Go and watch over these guys. Use the inner disciples for your own. The deacons will be stationed at certain places on the outskirts of the forest to collect the participants' beast cores."

"As you wish, Elder Odino." They both cuffed their fists and bowed to Odino.

Then Roy asked."Elder Odino, will you not come with us?"

"Hmm…" Odin paused for a moment before responding."I will come after a while. Need a little rest."

Roy and Joy didn't ask any further questions and left the place.

Odino left for his room, making the stand empty now. The crowd also left and went to the places where the deacons had placed their tables to collect the beast cores.

The Ragingwave, Burnheart, and IceFire also left the place. They want to see it before their eyes and not let anything happen to their offspring.

Kaley looked at 'Lenny' and urged him. "Quickly, let's go."

'Lenny' nodded his head and stood up. From the corner of his eyes, he saw the Burnheart's leaving in a hurry. He became a bit curious.

He didn't know that Light Yellow Forest was just behind the Burnheart Family compound. It was still far, but closer than most other places.

…

Meanwhile, Gale, who had left Jasmine alone, was looking at a small array that was covering a certain room.

He was standing beside that room's door, and on his right side was another man.

Gale disguised himself as that man, whom he knocked unconscious. By following the direction Niloy gave him, he arrived at the treasury and went to guard the place.

Currently, he was waiting for the opportunity to strike this man down. Then, through the corner of his eyes, he saw a pair of guards passing by them. They glanced at them and left without saying anything.

'Now!' Just after the pair of guards left that hallway, Gale's eyes shot open. He came beside the other guard in a flash and slashed at his neck.

The guard didn't have the time to react as he felt his vision getting blurred. His head was about to fall to the ground, but it was caught by Gale's hand.

Right after that, Niloy came down from the ceiling. He quickly picked up the corpse and hid it inside the ceiling, not letting a single bit of blood drop on the floor.

Gale took off his mask and threw it at Niloy. "The guards will arrive in five minutes, according to your calculation. Be sure to watch it while disguising yourself well."

Gale took out a talisman and tore it open. The next second, he became invisible, vanishing from Niloy's sight.
