Master of Voracious Beasts - Chapter 292
The four cultivators including Jomel, are walking slowly forward while traveling on foot.
And soon when they passed through the mountain, Jomel could smell something.
“It’s so fragrant, “he said as he lifted his hand slowly to the sky and recalled something… “Lavender?” He asked himself.
In his last life, Lavender is most commonly used in aromatherapy. The fragrance from the oils of the lavender plant is believed to help promote calmness and wellness. It’s also said to help reduce stress, anxiety, and possibly even mild pain.
“No wonder, they made me hid my beasts, Lavender is a soothing favorite for centuries, lavender repels fleas, moths, mosquitoes, and many other insects. While oil extracted from the flowers makes an effective mosquito repellent, just the plant itself can ward off unwelcome insects..” He mutters silently.
Jomel looked at the towering Lavender, with a smile on his lips he says, “I thought that you guys are trees, I never knew you guys are a Lavender.”
“There is no name to these towering trees for they never came up, what kind of name they will name it but it is always here protecting us humans. So for us, they are spiritual protection trees.”
The lady Ning couldn’t help but interject, she can see Jomel’s passionate gaze as he looked over the beautiful protector plants.
“Really? Why can’t they name it?”
He asked with a really curious look on his face, ‘Why? Can’t humans just name it whenever they wanted?’
“It’s because the protector tree also has spirits, if they don’t like the name, they would command bug beasts warrior bees to attack anyone who dares,” Ning explained hoping for Jomel to understand.
It’s also the reason why she interjected, to avoid him to name the trees.
“Why bees?” He asked.
“Because this is where mortals under our jurisdiction, the Honey sect.” She said with a calm and soft voice.
“Yes, it is said that in history, we humans are the same as three people and we also agreed to it. However, first humans without a bug tree are abandoned from and a tree and is hunted down by them.” She explained slowly.
“Hmm.” Jomel nodded to indicate that he is listening.
“To hide, they found out that these spiritual trees and was accepted by it, humans that are abandoned by but trees are helpless and weak compared to them, physiques cannot be compared.”
‘It’s a plausible explanation, like an adam and eve from a bamboo tree, and in this case, they are abandoned by trees themselves.’
Jomel thought as he compares it to Christian history about religions where humans came from.
“But our ancestor, the abandoned ba’ia humans found out that tree cannot enter, and even if they did. They will be constantly attacked by the spiritual trees and their symbiotic bug beasts.”
Jomel knew that this is the bees and flowers cycle of life so it is also plausible. He couldn’t help but interject, “Why the abandoned ancient humans are not attacked by these bees.”
“It is because they don’t have an aura of a Bug tree,” she said, “that’s how our ancient people became a people inside these peaceful paradises”
After listening to her, Jomel only looked up to the giant Lavender and mutters, ‘I hope this paradise will not turn into what I don’t dare to imagine it to become.’
He knew that he is a human and guilty that he is. No matter what, No matter where they go as long as it is humans and nature. Humans are always the ones who are responsible for the destruction.
Unconsciously Jomel spread his arms wide open in the middle of a conversation between him and Ning.
He mutters a poem, “Lavender, Like an angel descended from heaven, You embrace me with your cloudy hug that opens up my heart and gives essence into my heart.”
His eyes opened like he is entrance and continued sincerely, “A breath of you, freshens up my floral soul, makes me calm and centered.”
And lastly, Jomel ends it with, “I wave into at the aroma of my hands, as you embrace me with your blue.”
He smiled and said, “Lavender.”
Ning had her eyes widened and her heart pounding non-stop, it happened so fast like it was natural. The King tree people she is conversing with earlier are just named the Spiritual Protector Tree.
‘What will happen now?’
She is having a panic attack, what if the spiritual protector bug tree didn’t like it?
At a distance, The duo Master Gu Fang and Disciple Ba were staring at them dazedly.
What did just happened, aren’t you supposed to tell him calmly to not do it?
Earlier, Gu Fang instructed his disciple Ning to tell the senior not to do but now… It is too late… They could only wait on what will happen next.
Jomel didn’t bother nor didn’t have any idea what’s on their mind. That poem is from the heart, and he didn’t care what will happen next. He just believes that the Lavender sounds more fitting on naming these trees. Giant Lavenders…
Suddenly a gust of wind made the three of them stopped…
But not Jomel.
He kept walking slowly forward while his expression is tranquil.
The three of them knew that a contest of strength between the tree bee guardian bug beast versus a Bug Tree King people who destroyed his people would be bloody and dangerous if they join.
Buzzz Buzzz!
A pressure suddenly descended on them and a gigantic black hornet bee appeared out of nowhere.
Jomel looks at this with bewilderment, “Teleportation?” He is not scared of beings or foes that can use teleportation if he wanted… He can render their teleportation or spatial ability useless.
Making him capable of killing them.
The trio, on the other hand, was sweating heavily. Their minds are buzzing as they saw the giant protector bee…
It is said that during the calamity that it will make its appearance, where a powerful bug beast from the central continent descended on this island.
Are they going to clash??!
In their heart, they hope that they do not.
