The old Shaman turned and was about to approach the statue to return the wand when his body froze. He could not even open his mouth to scream before a cold dagger slit his throat, and his body fell. A hand grabbed the wand, and the next moment, the wand disappeared. What appeared in front of all the shamans was a boy.
The Gnoll Brutes started charging at him, with Beta Gnolls following their lead. The enraged Shamans started casting their spells. Every Gnoll was ready to teach this ignorant human a lesson: how dare he kill their head Shaman and taint the Holy Wand with his dirty hands?
Unfortunately, the boy didn't have time. He said, "It would have been a little warm-up, Pity! I can't let others wait too long. Let's finish everything here quickly."
Eight Chakrams appeared behind him; the next moment, a layer of Ice covered them. He didn't say anything; he just pointed his hand at the opponents. Black chains appeared from the shadows and started bounding everyone near them; they twisted like snakes, and one chain could hold multiple opponents.
The low-level Gnolls died from the chains that constructed them. Brutes were stronger than Beta Gnolls and were able to survive the attack of chains, only to be beheaded by Chakrams. Their defensive skills were useless against this weapon, with its blade covered in a small layer of Dark aura. This aura made the Chakrams chop through low-level shields and barriers.
The shamans cast their spells. The spell hit the opponent and blasted the area around them. The shamans sighed in relief and started approaching the area cautiously. A shadow appeared around them and turned into a boy; the boy's swords danced through the wind, and the heads of the Shamans near him fell.
At the same time, a white-colored magic circle appeared below a group of five shamans, and then, boom, an explosion took place and blasted them all into pieces of ice fragments. The remaining Gnolls started running towards the entrance. Rishi let the low-level ones pass, but when the Shamans tried, he activated the 'Ice Spike' spell, and multiple spikes of Ice appeared from the earth and peered through their bodies.
Shamans cried in Agony and were trying to cast their spells, but the next moment they heard a 'swish' sound, and their heads started rolling. Rishi had to use the 'Frost Strike' technique to defeat and capture the stronger ones.
Dev and Manu heard the sound of explosions and cries, and they got ready. As soon as anyone stepped out of the gate, they eliminated them. They were surprised that so many were able to escape, but when they saw what happened with the shamans, they sighed.
Rishi scanned through the memories of these shamans; they all had tough wills, but he had already learned how to use his killing intent. He used it to weaken their wills before prying into their memories; he was not searching through their memories for information about his upcoming opponents.
What he was searching for was how these Gnolls found that Precious crystal. He was unsure what it was, but he knew it was precious and could assist Beast Cultivators in some way. As he searched through their memories, he discovered that they got it through mining. It was the only one they found.
Rishi was initially disappointed, but after thinking for some time, he wondered how such precious crystals could be easily accessed. They were limited resources that were rarely discovered. He didn't know what it was doing in this situation, but from what he heard, these findings were a hidden reward.
He was curious about what Team A might discover. He looked through other memories containing Moa Bird and their development and learned how they evolved. It looks like these shamans were not that dumb; they asked for the help of other tribes to look for materials that could evolve them; they took trial and error methods to the next level.
He learned the location of the storage where they have stored precious materials and books; he also learned that there are eggs of Black, grey, and red-fleshed Moa birds. He decided to take them, as he thought these Beasts could become suitable mounts.
They might not be suitable for his use, but he could mass produce them by using his knowledge as a beast cultivator and selling them in the market. The black-feathered and Grey-feathered Moa Birds were of elite grade; they had a huge market, while the silver-feathered Moa birds were of Epic Grade. They could be sold to wealthy clients. The Beast Tamers with the superior class were always looking for suitable mounts.
The Beasts that filled every criterion were rare and costly; there was a big market for such Beasts. Rishi was impressed by the loyalty of these Beasts towards their owners; he had not witnessed any moment where the Moa bird ran away, leaving behind its owner to save itself.
He might have never considered taming Moa birds if anyone else had found this dungeon. Even if they did, they might only take back the one they contracted with or some eggs. Rishi was different; he was a Beast Cultivator. With his mind-reading ability, he had learned about the way to raise these beasts. He had even learned how to evolve them by looking at their memories.
He smirked and came out of the cave with six Eggs. He created six Egg incubators by using his 'shadow construct' ability and used 'ice enhancement' to make them comfortable. The eggs of Moa birds needed a cold place to hatch; they could not be hatched from anything other than the feathers of Moa birds.
He was lucky that he knew all this; otherwise, his heart would not have been able to receive the outcome. He looked at the six eggs as if they were golden eggs. When he remembered that he might have tasted the meat of one of their mothers, he almost puked.
He hit his head. "Why am I thinking about such a weird thing? I promise my sweethearts I will never consume a Moa bird again," he promised. Among his six eggs, three were gray; two were black, and one silver. They all had similar types of line and curve patterns; the only change was the color; otherwise, all Eggs were white.
Manu looked at the eggs and jumped on them, saying, "You brought them in at the right time; I will make omelets for all of us from them. Believe me, I will make the best omelet ever."
Even Dev's mouth became watery when he heard that. He looked at Rishi, thinking he would also be hungry. To his surprise, Rishi pushed him back, saying, "Don't let that thought ever come to your mind. These are very important for my research. There are a lot of wild beasts; cook anyone."
Manu and Dev were surprised; Rishi saw that and explained, "Don't show me that face; I am not thinking of eating them alone. I need them for my research; I am a Beast Cultivator after all."
