Capítulo 41: Opportunity from disaster
In the very depths of the sea waters, Cheng Shan's clone kept moving fast because it was being followed.
The other party seemed to have amazing means of tracking, but the reason for all this was due to the sense of crisis.
Yes! It felt a sense of crisis from the pursuit, and the more he moved the lesser it became.
Something he could not explain might be taking place, or he might be in a dangerous territory. He planned to keep moving until the sense of crisis subsided.
He did not even bother to find out about what was making him scared, rather he just kept moving. He also had some thoughts about the way to complete his energy needs for evolution.
With the current situation, he could only target the creature that was following him. But he had to find means to separate them and at that moment he would be the winner.
It was very difficult to hide in the current location, as he had not been to this location.
But still thanks to the enhanced strength ability it could move faster, but he knew this was not an ability meant to enhance his speed.
Even so, he did not seem to have any thoughts about getting some kind of movement-related skill in the next evolution at all. It had less impact on his current evolution plans.
As it escaped, it thought of using the turtle's breathing ability to hide its presence but decided to find a nice place for this. It would be stupid however to attempt doing this when a creature is in distance that allows it to see you. He was more rational, as such he was going to not make such a stupid mistake.
Outside the forest, chaos had started to spread and most individuals could see this, especially those with connections.
Wu Dang Mountains,
The place with the longest existing sect, even Shaolin Monastery that is the well known, was founded later. The only issue is that the popularity of the Wu Dang sect is nowhere near that of Shaolin, but in the moment in Shaolin some movements could be seen.
A young man dressed in some black Taoist robe and black and white shoes seemed to move towards the mountain cave. After arriving, he climbed the stairs until he reached the entrance of the cave, and one could see some old man with White hair sitting in the middle of the cave. On the back, there was some blue stone, it had the same slight glow like the one that had given Cheng Shan attribute points in the past.
Looking at the old man sitting cross-legged, the young man stepped forward and called out. "Master! The situation on the outside seems to have become chaotic. The supplies will probably become an issue in the future if things continue like this."
The young man could see that the old man did not respond even after he said this, and when he wanted to repeat the words, the old man opened his eyes, one could see knowledge in those eyes.
The young man did not meet the old man's eyes either, it seemed like he was somewhat afraid of something.
The old man finally spoke, "Have you made progress in martial arts?" This was indeed the first thing that he asked, and the young man was probably expecting this and seeing how he remained silent, the old man sighed.
"Sigh! What could possibly happen to us even if chaos starts. It is even better to say that we are the safest. Those that are living in the outside world will be the ones involved in the chaos." The old man was nonchalant about this and seemed uninterested.
"Retreat! Just deal with the situation based on the circumstances." The words of the old man seemed to reach the young man's ears and he retreated with some relief that he was not scolded.
"It has been a decade, this junior still has yet to make progress. It seems that it would be difficult for my Wu Dang to leave behind some legacy." As he sighed again, his eyes closed.
He did not seem to be bothered by the development of the outside world after all the chaos would not spread so far or to be more transparent, those involved would not let it happen. At the end of the day, they will stop and reach some kind of compromise.
Regardless of how stubborn they were and the influence they commanded, they understood when enough was enough.
If their actions touched other people's interests it was already stepping on dangerous grounds but if they go any further and cross certain lines, then they would even bring disaster to themselves. In the world, two families could not shake everything and if they did not get their acts together it could become bad for them.
Others were not meddling because they wanted them to fight and weaken each other, but that also has a limit, after all an all-out war would end up injuring them even if they stood on the sidelines.
The old man could naturally see this and did not bother to explain this to his disciple, in his eyes some things are useless even if he said them.
What he was concerned about was the issue of the legacy and he was sighing because he could feel that his end was approaching. To someone like him who has practiced martial arts all this while, it was more or less a big issue to leave behind someone with some capability.
In other regions, of the country, the individuals in power were not getting involved, and as such the situation was stable. The reason for them staying out was simple they belonged to other factions, and those factions were spectators in this kind of scene. To be even more precise, they were waiting for the time both sides were hurt, to get some benefits for themselves.
In the deep sea, the clone that had been moving fast seemed to have already left the scope of the sea, as it could see the change in water. The clone could feel the vastness, it was difficult to explain and just encountering it for the first time gave it some kind of inspiration that seemed to disappear the next moment.
In the same time, it could no longer feel the sense of crisis from behind, but the vastness of the ocean made it even more wary. Instead of going further, it retreated and moved to the very surface, slowly hiding in the mud.
It could feel the currents moving its body, even though it was not fast, it still seemed to be doing this. But that did not matter, it was waiting and this wait was not long as it saw five-meter shark-like fish moving by. It was not the one that brought him a sense of crisis though.
On the ground, he slowly followed it, after confirming that nothing was behind them. When the creature was unprepared, he attacked. He could see that the massive meat on this creature could allow him to gather the evolution points faster. Since that was the case, he would not hesitate, and he wanted to undergo an evolution so that he could easily deal with the other creatures present in the sea.
