The days passed peacefully. The whale managed to get another large amount of Yinblood jewelry, but the numbers were random, and he wasn't as lucky as before. In two batches, they totaled four hundred thousand of them. He distributed half to the draconic beasts and instructed that only the newcomers absorb them so that everyone would be on equal footing.
Runula got the message and decided it was the right time. After teaching them to fight properly, she ordered them to seek their own opportunities of fortune in the forest. If possible, they should avoid conflicts with the disciples; although they possessed many Yinblood jewelry, defeating the beasts allowed them to directly absorb their bloodline and gain much more. They couldn't be protected forever and needed to fend for themselves now.
