He took out a growth fruit from his bag and gave it to the village head.
"These are Thea's Growth Fruits."
The village chief knew the fruit and looked at it in amazement. But he still didn't believe the fruit, he suspected that the fruit was fake.
"Village Chief, this is the true growth fruits."
"Look how I've changed," Nulua spoke to answer the village head's doubts.
The village chief noticed that Nulua was a bit different, then glanced at the Beastros army that was behind Nulua. He realized that they had transformed.
He was still very suspicious, he wanted to give this fruit to his troops to try but it would seem like a coward. As the village head of Beastros, he must be brave and responsible.
Then he decided to eat the fruit. After eating it he rolled on the ground and the villagers are increasingly alert.
After an hour of wary waiting, the village head finally finished transforming. The village head got up from the ground and saw his body for himself. Feel the excitement so great that it screams.
"HAHAHA! This is the real fruit!"
Hearing this from the village head, the residents lowered their alert and show happiness on their faces.
"Okay, we've proven it."
"Now bring the entire villagers back to the main village," Nulua said.
Then the village chief instructs the residents to get out of the village and go with Nulua.
There are 100 adults and 100 children in this village. After everyone gathered Nulua led them back to the spaceship through the forest again.
Since there were so many of them, the return journey was slower than before. Astrum and Nulua led them to prevent the monster attacks in the forest. On the journey back to the spaceship they encounter some monsters and can get black pearls from them. Astrum is curious about these black pearls.
After 12 days, they finally arrived at Spaceship.
The Astrum group only brought one spaceship with a capacity of 150 personnel, they previously consisted of 50 personnel. With an additional 200 personnel from the villagers, it was impossible to bring them into one spaceship.
Astrum requested that the green leaf troops who previously controlled this spaceship send a message to bring in additional spaceships. It turns out that these troops can only drive this spaceship manually, they don't understand the communication access on the spaceship. This is because the technology of this spaceship is different from their technology.
Astrum is trying to find a way to activate the plane's lines of communication. Then he remembered Sidius controlling the spaceship-like this. At that time they exited the planet where they found Thea.
Astrum tried the same thing as Sidius, standing in the center of the platform and then activating his star power. The platform shone and the panels on the deck lit up.
Astrum tries to understand the technology of this aircraft with its perceptual abilities. After a while he began to understand a bit of this aircraft's technology, he found that there was a communication feature right in the control center.
Try to activate this spaceship communication line with a spaceship close to the main village. Suddenly a screen appeared in front of him.
There's just a black screen and nothing.
"Hello. Test. Test."
"Did this work?" He mumbled after several calls with no response at all.
Suddenly on the screen appears a figure that looks like Bolx.
"Horax! How was your mission?" The man asked.
Realizing that this communication line was misdirected, Astrum immediately turned it off.
"Damn it! Did that person see me?" Astrum is shocked to see the person.
In another location, the person who had just spoken through the communication line was angry and cursing.
"Damn it! This shabby spaceship!"
Apparently, he couldn't see Astrum when the communication line was connected.
He tried to contact the Horax spaceship which was controlled by Astrum.
Astrum was very nervous when he saw the communication panel light up. He was afraid that they would be discovered by the enemy troops. Because if the enemy troops notice their presence, the attack on Zax will become more difficult. He decided to deactivate the spaceship for the time being.
They couldn't force everyone up into the spaceship. After conferring with Stella, they finally decided to send someone to send a spaceship of assistance to take them.
"Auntie, I will go." Astrum volunteered.
Stella didn't answer directly, she was considering Astrum's safety.
"Star Beast horse's speed is very fast, I will get there in an instant."
"There shouldn't be any more Zax troops on this continent after all."
Astrum added so that Stella could agree.
Finally, with various considerations, Stella allowed Astrum to go to the main village. After the deal was made, Astrum riding the Star Beast Horse rushed back to the main village. He left the Star Beast Bear and Bull to guard the group.
In less than an hour, Astrum arrived at the main village. The horse Star Beast's speed was extremely fast even surpassing the normal speed of a spaceship.
When Astrum arrived at the main village, saw that Sidius' group spaceship had arrived. Astrum rushed into the cave to request a spaceship to bring the Beastros group from the valley.
Sidius instructed Bi and Hiru to bring a spaceship to pick them up, while Astrum was asked to stay. Since they had already captured Gorux, they needed Lilo's ability to retrieve Soul Leeches from the prisoners.
Astrum asks Lilo to suck the soul leeches from the prisoners first. In a short time, Lilo had sucked the soul leeches from the prisoners.
Gorux was surprised to see Lilo sucking soul leeches so easily, he just realized that this group of Beastros had the means to fight them. And this is a critical factor that can thwart their goal to get Nexor.
He was very scared to see Lilo approaching but he couldn't move. Lilo caught Arrot first and sucked the soul leech from his chest.
"ARRRGGH!!!!"
Arrot screamed in pain, feeling something being pulled out from within his energy body. The leech was still in Lilo's mouth. When Astrum saw this leech, he was astonished.
"Why does he have leeches like Bolx and Solux?"
This was very unusual, as the soul Leeches pulled from Arrot were of the Chief type.
After the leech came out, Arrot immediately fell unconscious, and then Lilo drew closer to Gorux. Gorux could only resign himself to seeing Lilo approaching, he just closed his eyes and waited for his fate.
After all the soul leeches were removed, the unconscious Gorux was tied up with their previous group. So far they have arrested 5 of Zax's aides.
Astrum was still very curious about the type of leech that was pulled from Arrot.
After an hour, finally, the spaceship that picked up the other Beastros had arrived at the main village. The village chief was stunned to see that there were 100 Star Beasts outside the cave. He became very excited and confident that this time they would win against Zax.
Inside the cave, Arrot had regained his senses and saw that he was surrounded by Astrum's group.
"Arrot, do you remember us?" Hiru asked.
"Hiru?" Arrot answered.
"It's good that you are aware, earlier your shot could have injured us."
"Fortunately we've got a new skill."
Hiru said in a proud tone.
After he wakes up, Hiru introduces the Astrum group to Arrot.
"Arrot, I am Astrum and I have a few questions," Astrum said in a serious tone.
"Thank you for the help." Arrot knelt before Astrum.
"Where did you get Chief-level soul leeches from?" Astrum ignored Arrot's respect and directly asked.
"Chief Leech Soul?" Sidius was also surprised to hear this, as he had not previously noticed the soul leech being sucked in by Lilo.
"I was caught by Zax and forced with that leech," Arrot answered.
"Why were you given this type of leech?" Astrum asked in a suspicious tone. Because he was Chief level leeches could control the soul leeches below him and it was very suspicious for prisoners to get Chief level leeches.
"I don't know, maybe because Zax wants to control me directly. Before I was caught, I managed to defeat some of his aides."
Astrum felt Arrot's answer made sense but he still had his suspicions.
"Astrum, Arrot is one of the strongest guardians," Hiru said to assuage Astrum's suspicions.
Considering Hiru's words, Astrum reduced his level of suspicion.
"Okay, now we have secured 4 villages and there are 6 villages left." Sidius begins the strategy briefing.
"If the information from them is correct then there should be no Zax army on this continent."
"We can safely organize several groups to search for the Clan Chief's whereabouts."
Astrum gave his opinion.
"True, but we still have to be careful. We don't know if Zax will send another troop."
"Then let's organize into 3 groups and each group brings two spaceships." Sidius gave instructions.
Currently, they have 6 spaceships, two from Bolx and Solux, two from Horax and Torax, and the last two from Gorux. Sidius arranged for Bi, Hiru, and Nulua to lead each spaceship because they were the original inhabitants of this continent. Sidius will be with Bi, Daal, and Arrot with Hiru, and the last group will be Astrum, Stella, and Nulua. Star Beast is in charge of guarding the cave.
Sidius felt safe with a formation like this.
"I want to come too!" Thea joined in.
"I'm tired of just guarding in this cave. I am also curious about other villages."
Apparently, Thea only knew about the main village but not the other villages.
Sidius considered Thea's request, feeling that there were no Zax troops on this continent, he decided to allow Thea to come along. Thea will join the Astrum group.
Then they rushed to various village locations because the priority right now was to find the Clan Chief as quickly as possible to secure the seal key.
Each group was assigned to go to two villages. The mission of finding the Clan leader was not easy, they had all left one village and returned to the main village. Several village heads had the same attitude as the previous village heads; they were skeptical of the mission to attack Zax. But with the help of Growth Fruits, they finally believed and followed back to the main village.
There are 3 more villages to discover and the population within the main village is already very full. Finally, they decided to occupy the caves that were previously diversion caves.
…
Astrum's group went on a mission to the last village, their target location was the valley. This valley is located much deeper than the previous valleys.
"Astrum, we have to be more careful here."
"The monsters in this valley are stronger than any other valley." Nulua gives some briefing.
