The Hidden Myth of Ji Dara

Chapter 126 - Good Luck Charm

Furthermore, that there's a new tribe which their spies have just discovered, who were basically bandits who invade other smaller tribes, plunder their resources, rape the children and enslave the adults, and force all of them to work loyally for the tribe…

Then Dara inquired about the security of the tribe and Elder Long explained that asides from the watch guards on the towers, that Elder Chen had stationed many scouts in the form of Obuns outside the tribe in secret locations to serve as sensor units that detect any intruders or invaders who have managed to avoid detection…

After doing a bit more inspections and greeting the rest of the Elders within the tribe, Dara returned to the residence as construction, farming and forgery continued within the tribe, and like that time flowed past within the tribe like rivers around a rock…

A week passed…

Today was the first day of the season of war…

Meanwhile…

About 40 miles away from the Qi Stone Mine [The Qi Stone Farm which Dara had now turned to a mine], a troop of about 100 Peak Qi Creation royal guards were marching towards the Qi Stone mine, and in the middle of these royal guards were five figures;

Three of them were donning a black hooded cape and one of them was wearing a full body armor all made out of gold and steel, and finally there was another male figure with a crisscrossed scar on his cheek…

These group all had solemn aura all over them which indicated that the slightest provocation might break out in an all-out war, and their expressions were also unfriendly and a little furious…

These were naturally the entourage of the three mysterious figures, King Tian, Commander Zhao and an entire troop of Royal Guards, and they all came here to investigate the reason why the Qi Stone farm hadn't supplied its regular batch of Qi Stones the last time around which was over six months ago…

But back at the tribe…

Dara had just stepped out of his plateau all clad in his new battle armor as with  a weapon hoister that had a quiver, a bow, twin swords and finally a whip that had been rolled up into a circle attacked to it…

As he stood at the edge of the plateau, he looked into the distance and saw that his 500 man troop was already waiting for him…

Today was the Season of War and they were going to be mining as well, thus they had to take extra men along should they run into any attacking bandit group, thieves, tribes or anyone unfriendly…

"Look at you, all looking like the hero of my fantasies…"

Elder Lin's voice drifted over from behind Min Hong as she walked over to him in an elegant manner with a hooded cloak with leather exterior but furry interior in her hands;

"Eh? Really?" Dara was slightly taken aback;

"Un Un…"

Aunt Lin nodded her head in affirmation before covering Dara with the cloak which she had worked painstakingly to adorn with several jewelries they got from their gifts, eventually making the cloak look like one befitting of a Tribe Leader…

"What do you think?" Elder Lin asked referring to her handiwork;

"I can see you have put a lot of love into it…" Dara replied;

"Un… take this…"

Elder Lin stretched her hands to the back of her neck beneath her hair and brought out a relatively simple necklace which was made out of vines and what seemed like the limb of a small beast;

"My mom gave this to me before she died… She told me it would keep me safe and that it is also a good source of luck…"

Elder Lin said as she wore the necklace on Dara's neck with a joyful expression and beaming smiles;

'Why is she acting all lovey-dovey this morning?'

Dara thought to himself in bewilderment, but was also pleased by the affection Elder Lin was showing eitherways;

Elder Lin adjusted the necklace perfectly whilst standing about 2 inches away from Dara, looking at his face like a proud mother sending her child off to school for the very first time…

Dara then wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into his embrace as Elder Lin giggled coyly, and then they shared about five solid minutes of kisses, before Dara managed to break the kiss as Elder Lin seemed to want to glue herself to his body;

"Alright, it's time to go…" Dara then released her from his embrace;

"Come back to me… This body won't touch itself, you know…"

Aunt Lin added before turning around and walking seductively back into the house causing Dara to develop the urge to follow her into the house and ram her into the wall before ploughing the nonsense out of her, but he resisted the urge and bottled it up for later in the night, where he would be able to take his time to dish out the appropriate punishments for her actions…

Dara decided to jump down from the plateau to test out his strength and the reliability of the amour;

Whoosh!

Dara erupted from the ground into the air before doing a triple flip mid-air and then capping it all with an accurate and fluid superhero landing…

He then rose to his feet and moved over to the troop who saw his entire acrobatic display and were all grinning with respect and pride…

A troop of 500 soldiers [400 Obuns and 100 tribesmen] who were all at the Peak of Qi Creation stage; The First and Second Obun Elder who were both at the 2 and 3 Star Qi Sea Stage, and finally Elder Lon who had managed to keep himself at the 1 Star Qi Sea Stage…

Dara looked over all of them and addressed them, telling them about their mission which was to mine more Qi Stone, but also reminding them of the high possibilities of them having to do battle because they were already in the Season of War…

Then after charging them, the crowd roared in motivation before Dara pointed his fingers towards the Tribe Gate and the entire troop began to march out, heading for the Qi Stone mine, oblivious to the fact that an entire troop of Royal Guards as well as several other overpowered experts were marching towards the same destination…
