Heart Cultivation - 334 Probe
Probe
Jen was going to ask few questions, the hunter giving answers was rare.
She wanted to know the exact location or the identity of the human beasts because it was necessary to make the celestial sphere a safer place.
If the hunters were wandering and killing legends then it was threat for newbies, it was not possible for a legend to cross first four levels in the blink of an eye so that hunters could stop them chasing that means a legend would remain in danger for many years.
Her grandfather was busy in saving the future of the sphere and Jen would make use of every effort to hunt the hunters who were trying to harm the sphere internally.
This was what her grandfather expect from her during her wandering, she has met the core experts, few pillars of the sphere and guardian beast, the Sky Thunder Martinet and custodians, there were many forces which were hidden from her but working for the present and the future of the sphere.
She would be considered among one of them from now on.
The worst she has faced at the hands of Nianru and if the most of the experts of the upper sphere were such powerful then the Celestial Sphere was in grave danger.
If she took this human beast in any of the tribe she won’t be able to question freely without exposing her identity so Jen decided to go back toward the cave where no one can listen them.
Custodians could see the solemn expressions of their master so they did not ask anything during their journey.
When they reached the cave, the custodians loosened their grip and the human beast fell on the ground, “Do you know why we spared your life?” a custodian spirit asked with indifference.
The human beast was trying to decipher the identity of this smoky creature, they were given much knowledge about ancient creatures but this smoky creature was different from them.
“It was to give a chance if you wanted to wash your guilt,” the custodian did not wait for him to answer his question, the custodian threw a blow to jolt his conscience if he has.
“I don’t have guilt you smoky joker,” the human beast spit blood.
The other custodians looked at him with awe, what, a joker, were they looking like jokers?
“You dumped trash, you are ignorant, you are being used like coarse clothe and you call me joker?” the custodian was infuriated this time, he gave another blow a little hard.
“Enough of that, tell me where is your other helpers?” Jen asked grimly.
The human beast at the girl with fiery eyes, “After having these creatures work for you, you think you are unbeatable?” he furiously spoke.
Jen was amazed that after getting much beating, this human beast was still arrogant to the extent just like when he appeared first.
“I was thinking to die and not reveal but now I have changed my mind, the Omega will tell you your real place and you will be killed just like other stupid legends,” he spit aside.
“So there is some Omega pulling the strings?” the custodian spoke.
“The Omega has large caravan of hunters and they will personally take this quest to kill you,” the laughter of the hunter was more than hysterical, he was near to death but there was not sliver of worry in his voice.
“I am sure you and your Omega does not belong to the Celestial Sphere,” Jen spoke sternly, it was click bait so that the hunter to tell more.
The human beast heard and his gown shook, these words were unexpected, how this girl could tell this, who was she? Now that he thought about it, he was forced to think all the previous incidents and seam them together to understand the situation.
How this girl was able to persuade the lazy evolved beast who was flagging peace thing? He was standing beside this girl and took part in killing others.
What was going on, if he correctly remember, the hunter leader was planning to wipe out the half beast tribe in these six months night, instead he was killed, when did this girl appeared?
It was impossible to do what she has done in no time, his eyes started to glow, and his strange looking veins were popping up, he regretted why he disclosed about Omega without knowing about this girl.
“If you wanted to kill then kill,” he stood up immediately to pounce at her, the custodians were little fast, smoke shrouded and the hunter was swiped with it away from the master.
Jen was expecting this move, the hunter might not tell anything, his first words can be considered his biggest mistake which he regretted in the end.
For now Jen has this clue who was leading these hunters, some Omega as the custodian spoke was pulling their strings.
The matter was to find this Omega, the cultivation was no more a problem, she was currently cultivating along with tquestioning human beast.
The biggest clue was that the Omega has large caravan of hunters, it could help her to find the Omega in minimum possible time.
“Master, the custodian threw a hard blow and the human beast died, we could not question him further about the Omega or his caravan,” the custodian was little guilty, he wanted to save master so he blow hard the hunter.
“There is no need to worry, we have some clues to follow the Omega,” Jen spoke with ease.
The custodians heaved a sigh of relief to hear this.
“We will leave this region soon after meeting to both leaders,” Jen walked toward the half beast tribe, she could hope that no more hunters would appear in this region for the time being and till then she would be able to find the Omega.
The only thing which could bother was the possibility of the more hunters coming in this region soon, for this she has to talk with the both leaders.
She should warn them and request to help in time of crisis, this was the only way to remain in this region with peace.
The custodians saw the master silently walking toward the half beast tribe, “Master, where we would search this Omega?”
“We don’t need to search Omega, my present cultivation level is like a click bait and the Omega or other hunters would look for me themselves, the only thing I am worried about but this choice would be a threat, I want to disguise and carry the identity of a hunter to enter the caravan before they could distinguish my identity,” she was not sure how these hunters could tell that she was a legend when not a normal cultivator could see through her cultivation.
“Master, a beast can tell the characteristics of a beast, since the human beasts share the characteristics of beasts, we can find the reason behind this advantage,” the custodian suggested.
Jen looked at the custodian and recognized, this custodian gave her a good suggestion, “You are behaving sober lately,” she was curious at this change.
The custodian controlled himself hard to not puke, was this complement? If yes then what kind of?
“It must be because master is very diligent,” the custodian puffed his imaginary chest, he was openly praising his master.
But it was not complete truth, they used to slack when they were in service of previous master, and who could expect sober behavior from slackers?
This master was always on her toes to work and let them work too, helping, fighting, spying, probing the hunter, and many more.
Where was time to slack or rest?
It was already blessing that they could dissolve for few moments when they wished and the master did not point out strictly.
“This master is tough and we are trying to follow diligently,” the other custodians spoke in unison.
Jen heard and nodded, “I am glad, so I can tell grandfather that custodians are not bad creature,” Jen shrugged her shoulders.
She has seen these spirits in the Defender Hacienda and observed, they should be called lazy duffs in true sense but their performance today was exceptional.
The custodians wanted to cry but no tear came out.
Still it was better than to cater her displeasure, “Today was a good day,” the custodians flapped their wings and followed their master.
What else they were supposed to say other than to cry silently, but the thing which brought some excitement was the fact that if they lived with this master, everyday would bring some adventure and this would help them wash the guilt of slacking someday.
They were determined but not all of them were thinking the same.
