Chapter 233 Crossing The River In Inventory?
Chapter 233 Crossing The River In Inventory?
It was soon morning again but the first one to wake up was Shin.
He had a lot of things going on in his mind due to which he couldn't sleep properly.
To top it all, he had to make different plans.
Also, he kept staring at the missions that were given by the system.
[ Mission ] [ new ]
-> Reach the Arena for Clan Wars safely [ incomplete ]
-> Rank among the top 10 Wolf Clans [ incomplete ]
-> Find Siara and Kira [ incomplete ]
-> Avenge Kira and Siara [ incomplete ]
-> Aide in Aella's evolution [ incomplete ]
The very first thing that was mentioned in the mission was to reach the Arena safely.
While it did sound like something normal, Shin kept wondering about the word 'Safely' that was used in the sentence.
For some reason, it seemed like a keyword.
'If it were to be easy, then why would it be in the list of the mission?', he questioned himself.
He suspected that there was some danger that they had to face if they thought about going to the Arena.
But what could the danger be? What could threaten someone who has evolved to that degree?
If thought carefully, there were tons of things that Shin couldn't accomplish.
'One mistake and I could lose everything…', this was the only thing that he kept thinking about again and again because he wanted to avoid useless mistakes happening.
Also, there was something else that he was concerned about.
Previously, he saw that the system was displaying rewards in the form of tiers.
[ Rewards ]
-> Tier 1:
--> 10% exp
--> Re-birth: Memories of Wolf God Shin
-> Tier 2:
--> Skill: Future Sight
--> Item: Wolf-Claw attachment (wind-type)
-> Tier 3:
--> 1 drop of Phoenix Blood
--> Skill: Bloody Impact
These were the rewards that were mentioned by the system. So Shin wanted to know if he could claim all the rewards or just from a single tier.
'Hey system, does this mean I can only choose the rewards from a single-tier?', he asked.
*Ding*
[ The host will get the rewards from all tiers ]
This was what the system said and it made clear that he would be receiving all the rewards.
Now it was definitely tempting but it seemed too generous for some reason because Shin had yet to face the dangers.
'Then why are they mentioned in separate tiers?', he asked the system.
*Ding*
[ It is just a design granted after the host's evolution ]
"…"
'Never mind, it was foolish of me to ask.', Shin made a weird face after hearing that.
Regardless, he stretched his body and went through all the skills. His MP was full and so was his HP.
He wasn't fatigued nor was his mental state unstable.
He ensured everything was fine because he howled and woke everyone else.
One by one, all the wolves woke up. The same was with the goblins and the elves followed by the dwarves who woke up one by one after hearing his loud howl.
The residents of the swamps spent the night under the trees on soft leaves. Of course, they were provided with adequate dinner – the meat of various beasts that were killed by the shadow wolf pack.
Well, in any case, right after that, they all gathered at one place and waited for Shin to give instructions.
"Ahem, good morning everyone.", Shin greeted everyone.
"Good morning, your highness.", the response was good. Everyone greeted him back simultaneously.
The voice literally echoed for a few seconds.
"So, after having the breakfast, we will leave.", Shin said.
Actually, the meat would stay fine even after being hunted – it was thanks to the elves' magic. Yes, it was some sort of preservation magic just like Shin's inventory.
But of course, it was of a lower level when compared to his inventory.
Everyone agreed to what he said. The meat was provided to the wolves.
Without wasting any time, all of them started to feast. Well, they were hoping for victory and with Shin's presence, they had full faith that they would win.
There was not even a single dot of doubt which was surprising because no one can place this much trust in any other – of course, Shin was exceptional.
After having breakfast, Shin stored a lot of meat in his inventory.
He thought that they would just hunt when they would be hungry. However, while hunting, some of them might get injured which Shin wanted to avoid as much as possible.
At first, they were shocked by Shin's inventory, but they then realized that being shocked by Shin is normal – Annihilator – he who would annihilate foods with just a glance was also a nickname which would have been developed if he hadn't explained himself.
Of course, he still got that title which he would use proudly later.
Regardless, all of them finally departed after Shin shouted, "Clan Wars, here we come!"
Shin was leading at the front. Aella walked right beside him, on his right side.
On his left, it was Terran who walked. And right behind him, it was Raka.
These three wolves seemed quite determined to keep Shin safe after all he was their King and he was the one on whom they were dependant.
Just behind Raka, Deoras and his pack followed closely.
The three shadow wolves were still hiding inside Shin's shadow. They were completely observing and scanning the surroundings with their auras.
Hiding aura is quite difficult. Yes, one could easily disappear from sight but one couldn't hide their auras that easily – it was earlier mentioned by Elvion too.
Even someone as strong as him couldn't do that, then obviously weaker beasts had no chance in accomplishing, yes, no chance unless they gained the skill Aura control and had a system.
They walked a bit faster too. They didn't want to waste any time as mentioned by Shin and thus, they wanted to reach as fast as they could.
'First of all, we need to get out of this forest.'
'However, the moment we cross this forest, we would reach the great river that connects this forest and the Forest of Miracles – Islea.', Shin thought.
Well, he had decided to cross the large river, but only after reaching it did he know how much of a bad idea it was.
Yes, it took them no more than 8 hours before reaching the river.
Until they reached the river, no one stopped. The wolves were strong, so even after walking quickly for all this time, none of them was tired.
Shin was completely baffled when he took a look at the river.
It was way too large than what he had anticipated. The flow of water was vigorous too. One would just end up drowning and get pulled by the river if they tried to enter.
"Your Highness, it is the rainy season, so this much was expected."
"But I don't understand how we can cross this, surely, your highness has a plan right?", Deoras asked.
Other wolves waited while wagging their tails
'Damn bastards, they knew about this and didn't mention?', Shin grit his teeth.
Shin wanted some time to think so he announced, "It is rest time. Take some rest and recover from the little fatigue that you might have accumulated."
"We will cross the river after 30 minutes.", he said.
While everyone agreed to him and rested, Shin started to think of a way to get out of this predicament.
'A raft…?'
"…"
'Na, we aren't humans to do that work.'
'Also, it would end up getting destroyed immediately because of the fast-flowing water.'
'Hmm, what do we do?'
Shin thought with all his might while checking his skill status as well.
"Ah!"
Shin suddenly got an idea.
Well, to be precise, he got the idea for the Shadow Wolves.
'The shadow wolves can just hide in my shadow and if I cross somehow, then it would mean that they would have crossed as well.', he thought.
'But the question is, how would I cross this?', he kept wondering.
'Also, how would Terran and Aella cross this? What about Alira and Kaily? They too have to cross right?'
Alira and Kaily were with him as well. They too wanted to look at the clan wars and participate in it. While Shin prohibited them from participating, he did allow them to accompany them.
And as he tried thinking more and more, he suddenly realized that there was a much better option!
'Hold on a second, why don't I store everyone in the inventory?'
'Since I can make the items in the inventory appear anywhere within the radius of 1 km, then can't I make them appear on the other shore of the river?', Shin asked himself as he smirked.
'Yes, this is feasible.'
However, then again, there was a problem. How would he cross?
This was the main problem since he had to go with them, otherwise, he wouldn't have track of their activities.
So, he had to think hard about himself now because, if he couldn't, then he would have to go separately.
'Hmm, I still have time, let me think.'
"…"
