Chapter 254: Arriving in Langriss Woodlands, Cosmic Factions Making Moves
After Rin and Erix managed to nurture their Magic Flower, make it bear fruit within a day, and absorb it, the group didn't stay longer and immediately resumed their journey.
Onward to the Langriss Woodlands.
It was in the west corner of the Core Domain and a journey of a whole day, even at the full speed of Lilith's Airship.
Although speeding at maximum cost more energy, they were not short of money and common resources since they hunted a lot of hunters and monsters.
They arrived there at the scheduled time despite a small hiccup in the middle where a group who didn't know better wanted to loot them.
They were rather an infamous group consisting of an Empyrean-order and a gang of Royal-order, operating mainly on their flying ship like pirates to loot transport ships.
Alas, they met their end when they decided to loot the wrong people.
...
"So, this is the Langriss Woodland, eh? Why are the trees so weird?" Rin asked, looking around with a surprised expression.
The airship had entered the Langriss Woodland. As its name suggested, it was basically a forest.
However, this forest was unique and extraordinarily vibrant with life and vitality.
The trees were big and exotic, as none of them were straight. All trunks were weirdly bent, and so were their trunks.
Some trees had sakura-like pink leaves, while some had rich green leaves. Some trees were giant and thick but still bent, while some had slim trunks but bent like a snake.
The group didn't see any monsters at first, but after crossing two kilometers, they started appearing.
The weakest monsters here were of Royal-order. Even those directly born had stats equivalent to peak Noble-order rank because that was how it worked when bloodline played a major part.
Even on Earth, the new generation of humans born from superhumans in the future would have some sort of advantages and boons like innate talents and bloodlines.
"We'll enter the elven territory after crossing three hundred kilometers into this woodland," Lilith informed as she turned to Rin and Erix.
"You two should meditate until then and focus on gaining insights to form your Aracne Spirit Pool."
Erix and Rin didn't waste any time as they entered today's Limitless Plane session and started training.
Gaining insights in Limitless Plane would be faster!
"Lily, we'll collect natural resources that we encounter on the way. The valuable ones would be protected by monsters, so be careful."
Meimei and Lania were visibly startled, and their faces turned red.
"Lady Ayame, are you suggesting we become his women? T-That...."
"We don't..." the other one said, her voice small and nervous.
Lady Ayame softly chuckled while shaking her head, "No, but it would be better to send women instead of men if we want to recruit those two."
"Your love life is your choice."
Both beauties visibly sighed in relief. They didn't want such a task imposed on them.
"Convince those two to join the faction slowly. Join their group somehow and be honest. You two are also one of the most powerful here, but if you fail to impress them, I doubt they will let you join their group."
"We will succeed," Meimei said with determination before she cutely smiled, "But what about the rewards if we succeed?"
"Up to five stages of Celestial Tune Spiritual Art and a single attempt in the Celestial Bell Tower."
"Whaa..."
The other silent Royal-order hunters were visibly surprised and started protesting that they also wanted to have a chance at this task.
"Silence! If I am not right, Meimei and Lania are the highest ranked in our faction leaderboard among you all. I didn't choose them just because they are beauties."
Lady Ayame snorted as a sharp pressure oozed out of her, "If Meimei and Lania fail, I'll give others a chance."
"Then we'll be leaving."
Meimei and Lania excitedly left the hall, but they suddenly paused and turned around when they reached the exit door.
"Lady Ayame, what's their current location? Do you have information about that?"
Ayame smiled and said, "You have to find that yourself. Use teleport circle to reach Wihanx Finger and start asking around from there."
"Ouch..." Meimei made a painful expression, feeling lazy about this process. "Umm....can we wait for some time? I'm sure we'll get their news soon, no?"
Lania wryly smiled.
"What if members of other factions reach them before us?" Ayame rolled her eyes, "Lania, drag her with you and make sure she works."
"Come on, Meimei. Stop being lazy," Lania snapped her finger, trapped Meimei in a transparent bubble with a rainbow hue, and flew out of the palace.
"Fine, fine, fine! Don't trap me in this bubble, Lani! It's embarrassing!"
