Death... and me

Chapter 711 - I'm Looking Forward To It



"By the way, what's your name?" Rean asked, noticing that he still didn't know this man's name.

The man looked at Rean with a face showing that he still didn't trust Rean that much. Nevertheless, he answered his question. "You can call me Burio."

"Alright, Burio. As I mentioned, I need people who haven't given up on their fates and who don't have attachments to this tribe," Rean explained one more time.

That day in the tribe, humans disappeared from every corner. All of them had something in common as well. They were usually the cause of trouble, with some of them always being punished. As Rean took them one by one, he found out that a few were already dead, just that the others didn't know about it. None of them were surprised, though. Humans were just slaves. If they didn't work at all and kept trying to escape, what could they be used for?

Unfortunately, Rean didn't find everyone he needed. Not that there were any more humans unwilling to serve the Zasfins, but because they also had families and friends that they didn't want to leave behind. Rean couldn't bring the rest with him since it might turn into an issue back in the valley. Of the extra nineteen that Rean requested, only another five fulfilled the criteria. He had found ten of them, but four decided that they didn't want to go for whatever reason. Another problem was that it was easier to find men willing to leave than women, but Rean wanted women since it would be easier to take care of kids.

Without any other choice, Rean took flight and headed in the direction of another tribe with the six humans in hand. Well, he was using his Spiritual Energy to hold them, though. Rean refrained from passing by any medium or big tribe, even if they were rarer. He only paid visits to small ones.

In the end, Rean finished gathering the humans he needed after visiting the fourth tribe, which was quite far away from Koran Forest. In any case, he was satisfied. Of the twenty people, Rean got fourteen women and six men. "Alright, everyone. I have all twenty of you, so we're heading back to my dwelling now."

Burio, who was the first to be picked up by Rean, couldn't help but ask, "Where's your home? Is it some other tribe? Is there a human tribe that we didn't know?"

Rean shook his head, answering, "No. My dwelling is in the Koran Forest's Core Region."

Immediately, everyone's eyes changed as one of them responded, "That's the Demon Beast territories! Are you crazy? Not even the Zasfin chiefs dare to head into the core region without reason."

"Hahaha!" Rean laughed out loud when he heard that, replying, "That's exactly why it's there. That's a place where almost no Zasfins will get close." Rean then smiled, continuing, "Don't worry. Everything has already been prepared. I won't say that there are absolutely no risks, but it's probably safer than the tribes you've lived in."

Everyone looked at each other, obviously with multiple doubts. Nonetheless, they already accepted coming with Rean, so they decided to give it a chance. Besides, seeing a human with so much strength as Rean was more than enough to provide them with some hope. 

Due to the fact that Rean had to pass by four tribes, his journey took a total of two days to finish. Fortunately, he wasn't afraid of entering the Demon Beast region since he had his skills. That being said, he returned to the valley without any issues on the way.

Burio and the others saw how Rean approached the valley, which was covered by mist.

*Creeee!*

Suddenly, all the humans shivered as a black and white big demon bird came flying in their direction. "Shit! We were found out!"

Rean couldn't help but laugh, responding to that statement, "Hahaha! Of course, we were. I told him that we're here."

"What?!" The humans were taken aback when suddenly, the demon bird stopped in front of Rean.

"Rean! You're back." Obviously, that demon bird was Kentucky. "Are these the humans you went out to find?"

Rean nodded as an idea popped up in his mind "Yeap." Suddenly, he pulled the humans in front of Kentucky and asked, "Are they enough as food for you?"

Burio and the others were frightened.

"You tricked us!"

"Let us down!"

"I curse you!"

"How can you do it with other humans?!"

Kentucky, who received a Spiritual Sense from Rean, immediately nodded, saying, "They should suffice. I've been hungry for an entire day already. There are no better delicacies than human flesh." Kentucky then opened his mouth as he approached Burio at the very front. 

Just as Burio thought that his life was coming to an end, Kentucky couldn't hold back anymore and started to laugh out loud. "Hahaha! Sorry, Rean. I can't. I just can't. Hahahaha! This is too funny!"

Ran, of course, laughed even more. "Hahaha! Come on, you were doing so well. Hahahahaha!"

The humans were taken aback when out of nowhere, Rean threw all of them on Kentucky's back as he apologized, "Don't worry, everyone. We were just playing with you." Rean then pointed at Kentucky under them before saying, "His name's Kentucky, one of my best friends. Oh, right. Girls, be careful. He's quite a perverted bird who loves breasts."

"Shut up, Rean!" Kentucky couldn't help but retort after that.

The humans didn't know what to say as Kentucky made his way into the valley. At first, the mist was too thick to see anything. However, it suddenly disappeared as if it had never been there. Not only that, but when the humans looked back, they noticed that they could see the sky again. The mist was nowhere to be seen anymore.

"Such a magical thing..." Burio muttered, forgetting for a moment the prank that Rean and Kentucky did.

"Hey, look!" A woman called Solan pointed to the valley's center as she said, "There really are a lot of kids."

Everyone looked in the direction Solan pointed at, and sure enough, they saw the over three thousand kids there. "Rean wasn't lying... it seems."

Rean nodded, responding, "I wasn't. I really need adults to take care of the kids. Don't worry, it won't be for free. As long as you're here, you will also be able to cultivate. To be honest, I'm actually looking forward to it."
