The Annihilator: Killer Of Gods-Chapter 254: Rumors about the Terrifying Beast Tamer

After about ten minutes of swift movement, covering miles between himself and the Evergreen disciples, Karsha came to a halt in front of a forest.

The plants within had striking violet leaves, their appearance both beautiful and foreboding. Karsha quickly scanned the area, and without hesitation, he slipped into the forest.

Once safely inside, he removed his disguise, reverting to his true form. He smiled as he looked at the mask in his hands.

There was something oddly thrilling about using the mask to conceal his identity and stealing the egg from the Evergreen Sect disciples. It felt familiar, like a role he was born to play, something he might have done before.

As Karsha pondered this feeling, strange feelings of his past life flickered through his mind, body, and soul. The thrill of the hunt, the adrenaline rush from evading capture, the satisfaction of outsmarting his foes—it all felt like a part of him.

He had always been a soldier, a strategist who thrived in the schemes that always land those who think they are smarter in his traps.

He sighed as he let his emotions calm down.

Shaking off the nostalgia, Karsha turned his attention back to the forest. The violet leaves rustled softly in the breeze, casting eerie shadows on the ground.

He moved deeper into the forest, his senses on high alert. The air was thick with the scent of earth and a hint of something sweet, almost intoxicating. He felt right at home for some reasons unknown.

As he ventured further, he noticed the flora and fauna were unlike anything he’d seen before. Bioluminescent flowers glowed softly in the underbrush, and strange, iridescent insects flitted about.

He reached out to touch a flower, its petals smooth and cool under his fingertips. It was a world of wonder and danger, and Karsha felt a surge of excitement.

He heard a rustle behind him and spun around, his hand instinctively reaching for his sword. A small, fox-like creature with violet fur and luminous eyes stared back at him. It tilted its head curiously before darting away into the underbrush.

Karsha chuckled to himself, the tension easing slightly. "Guess I’m not the only one sneaking around," he muttered looking at the cute little fox run away.

He continued his exploration, careful to mark his path. The forest seemed to go on endlessly, each turn revealing something new and fascinating.

He found a small stream with water that sparkled like liquid silver, and a grove of trees with bark that shimmered in the twilight.

As he walked, he couldn’t shake the feeling that he was being watched. It wasn’t a threatening presence, but more of a curious one. He paused and looked around, but saw nothing. Shrugging it off, he continued his journey.

After another thirty minutes of roaming, Karsha found traces of human activity. Fresh blood spattered the ground, plants were broken and trampled, and the landscape was scarred by signs of a recent battle.

Although there were no monster bodies around, Karsha knew there were others inside the purple forest, aside from him.

Kneeling down, he examined the blood stains. They were still wet, indicating the fight had occurred not long ago. The air was filled with the metallic scent of blood mixed with the earthy fragrance of the forest.

He could see footprints and drag marks leading away from the scene, suggesting someone had been injured and possibly taken away.

Noting this down, Karsha began following the tracks. His instincts told him to be cautious, but his curiosity pushed him forward.

The path was winding and treacherous, with broken branches and disturbed foliage marking the way. He moved silently, his senses heightened, every sound and movement scrutinized.

The trail led him deeper into the forest, where the trees grew thicker and the light dimmer. The violet leaves seemed to close in around him, creating an almost otherworldly atmosphere.

He came upon a small clearing where the signs of battle were even more evident. The ground was scorched in places, and the trees bore deep gashes as if from powerful weapons.

Karsha crouched down, inspecting a scorch mark. "Someone’s been using some serious firepower," he murmured to himself. "This wasn’t just a skirmish. This was a fight for survival."

Suddenly, he heard a faint groan coming from nearby. His eyes narrowed as he scanned the area, finally spotting a figure partially hidden behind a fallen tree. Karsha approached cautiously, his hand on the hilt of his sword.

The figure was a young man, clad in tattered robes, his face pale and bloodied. He looked up at Karsha with fear and desperation in his eyes.

"Help... please," he whispered, his voice weak and raspy.

Karsha hesitated for a moment, weighing his options. He could leave the man and continue on his own, or he could help and potentially gain valuable information. Deciding on the latter, he knelt beside the young man and began assessing his injuries.

"Who did this to you?" Karsha asked, his tone gentle yet firm. He could tell that the wounds on the person’s body were caused by a human and not a monster.

"It was those brats from the Drono Royal Sect," the young man spat, hatred evident in his eyes.

"They wanted our points, and when we refused, they attacked. I got separated from my friends during the chaos. Managed to escape, but not without taking a few hits."

"That is the sect the Princes are from right" Karsha asked. "Yes, the people that attacked me are members of the cohort of the first Prince."

"This place looks dangerous. Why come here instead of going somewhere safer?" Karsha asked. He had roamed the forest for a while and noticed something strange about it.

Despite traversing many miles, he hadn’t encountered a single vicious monster. It was unlike most forests, usually teeming with creatures.

"Are you not aware?" The young man, who had started to recover thanks to the pill Karsha gave him, looked surprised.

"Aware of what?" Karsha asked back, his curiosity piqued.

"This is one of the seven entrances to the inner area of the forest," the young man explained.

"Rumor has it a terrifying Beast Tamer has been farming near the edge of the purple forest. Many core disciples, and even us Inner disciples, came to try our luck. The distance you’ve covered is just the outer part of this forest. You haven’t even moved half the distance before you’ll start encountering monsters."

Karsha frowned, processing this new information. "So, you’re saying the real dangers lie deeper within?"

The young man nodded. Enjoy new adventures from novelbuddy

"Exactly. The outer forest is relatively safe, but the inner area is a whole different story. It’s crawling with powerful monsters. Also, the deeper you go, the stronger the monsters. If you mistakenly enter the Inner area, you will have to battle from Tier 8 upwards, and they are all mutants.

"Then this beast tamer must be very powerful to have ventured that deep into the forest," Karsha asked with a curious gaze.

"He is terrifying. According to Rumors, he has over 12 monsters under him and almost all of them are Mutants. Some even say he has a Tier 8 and a few Terror Mutants under him" the young man said with fear in his eyes.

Karsha smiled inwardly.

’Ha, it seems like Xian is doing better than I thought. To think he would be farming at the entrance to such a dangerous place. He really surprised me.’ He didn’t need anyone to tell him the Beast Tamer’s identity; he knew it had to be his brother.

"What’s so special about this inner area that everyone is willing to risk their lives?" Karsha asked, keeping his thoughts about Xian to himself.

"Resources," the young man replied. "Rare herbs, powerful artifacts, you name it. The deeper you go, the more valuable the rewards. That’s why we all come here, despite the danger."

Karsha nodded. "Alright, You seem to be doing alright now. Do you want to follow me or want to go look for your friends" Karsha saw the young man to be a good person so he didn’t want to discard him just like that.

"I have to look for my Friends. Thank you for your help, my Dawn Gate Sect will remain in your dept." Contrary to his expectations, the young man chose to look for his friends.

Karsha nodded and gave him a few pills. Those are pills he got from Elder Lin when he was going to the island. "I will be leaving then, see you around" Karsha patted him on the shoulder, then stood up to leave.

The young man looked relieved. "Be careful. The Drono Royal Sect isn’t the only danger in these woods."

With a nod, Karsha set off again, his senses on high alert. The forest seemed to grow darker and more ominous as he moved deeper.

The air felt thicker, charged with an almost palpable energy. He knew he was getting closer to the inner area of the purple where the entrance resides.

As he continued, he couldn’t shake the feeling that he was being watched. It felt bizarre yet couldn’t he couldn’t shake the feeling of what could be watching him. But since he hasn’t sensed any ominous intent from that gaze, he just continues his move.

Roar!

After moving a few more miles, Karsha heard a roar coming from a few kilometers away. He quickly headed in that direction.

"Two Tier 7 Calamity Mutants this early?" Karsha muttered, spotting the two creatures locked in combat. One was a tiger-type monster, and the other a combination of fox and wolf, each towering at about five meters tall.

"I’m in a hurry, so I’ll be sending you two on your way," Karsha muttered again, unsheathing his sword. With swift precision, he sent two powerful fire arcs through the air, striking down the monsters.
