Alen stood with his hands gripping the fruit in excitement, just as he was about to sit down and make the breakthrough, various different roars sounded outside the cave.
"Guess the smell of the blood have attracted the other beasts too" alen thought to himself as he was just about to ignore the commotion outside when his divine sense saw a big rocky lizard entering the cave,alen eyes narrowed as he noticed it's cultivation "sixth stage foundation establishing realm huh... What a beast like this doing here",I thought as my nose twitch picking up a wonderful scent, sniffing the air, I looked down at the fruit in my hands,"damn it", I cursed as I finally knew the reason why the lizard would enter the cave, its turns out that due to my carelessness the fruit scent as spread around and outside the cave" I guess another lesson has been learned", I mumbled as I put the fruit away to stop the scent from attracting the others but it was already late as i heard more footsteps entering the cave, feeling the powerful aura's of the beasts rushing towards me, my body stiffens in fright as I quickly withdraw my aura and hide my self in a dark spot.
" Damn it, I still don't understand why is there so many foundation establishing realm beast in the outer area, something isn't right", I thought as the first beast came into view. Moment's later all four beasts came into view, judging from their aura they are all at the foundation establishing realm,the one at the front is the earth dragon lizard with a cultivation realm at the fifth stage foundation establishing, the second is one is big black- gray spider called the widow spider , the next one is the huge and long double headed dark red snake called the blood poison snake, and finally a huge and muscular beast which causes the ground to tremble with it every step is a brown rhino with earth armor covering it whole body, it's called the armored rhino.
All these beasts are at the sixth stage foundation establishing realm, way above my League.
Fear seized my heart as cold sweat appears all over my body.
Hiding in a corner I saw the beasts continue sniffing around and occasionally roaring at each other,. seeing as they are still looking for the fruit even after a few minutes has passed I steeld my heart as the thought of escaping while they are distracted came to my mind but it vanished when I noticed the two headed snake looking at my direction.
"Damn it, don't tell me this snake has spotted me" I thought fearfully as I didn't dare to even look in the direction of the snake fearing it will sense my gaze.
I was only able to breath in relief after I sense it stopped looking at my direction but then I heard the rest of the beasts started roaring at each other, it seems like a conflict has started between the earth dragon lizard and the armored rhino as they begin to fight, although the cave is huge and sturdy but because of the massive strength these two beast possess it started falling apart slowly.
Soon both the other two beasts joined in the battle.
My eyes lit up as I chuckled"they are beasts after all seems like the lizard and the rhino had a past conflict with each other" I thought happily as this situation gives me an opportunity to escape.
Still chuckling happily at my fortune I failed to notice a piece of rock falling down towards my head, hitting me.
Due to the sudden unexpected impact I failed to properly control my presence as all the beasts instantly stop their battle and looked at me.
Time seems to pause as the beasts and I looked at each other.
My heart skipped more than just a beat as the fear of death greatly overwhelmed my senses.
Repeatedly cursing my bad luck I urged my body to move, to run away but due to fear it got frozen in place.
The beasts finally reacting flared their auras as it press down on me making my body heavy.
As I was gradually getting overwhelmed, my state of mind slowing being disturbed as fear invaded.
As my emotions gradually became chaotic, my cultivation technique started running automatically as my eyes glowed purple, as my cultivation technique ran my emotions gradually disappeared leaving behind a clear mind.
Not bothering to figure out what happen I decided to get out of this dangerous situation first.
"Once these beasts attacks am as good as dead, I need something to take away their attention from me but the only thing I have that can do that is the white jade fruit that they came here for" I quickly figured out a way out.
"But do I really have no other choice" I thought reluctant to sacrifice the fruit.
Looking at the beasts that seem to be cautious of me, mostly probably because they can't sense my cultivation realm but it seems that not the case for the armored rhino has it look like it about to attack at any time.
"Sigh", I sighed, having decided to act I bolted towards the exit with my maximum speed, the rhino was the first to react has it began chasing me, followed by the lizard before the rest followed.
Feeling the ground trembling behind me as the surprisingly fast rhino charge towards me. As I close in at the entrance I took out the fruit and making sure the beasts sees it.
The moment they saw the fruit they immediately charged towards me with more speed.
Sensing as the rhino as gotten to close I immediately threw the fruit towards the rhino as I mobilized all my qi and made a run for it.
The rhino beast immediately came to a sudden halt as it forgot about me and focus at the fruit flying towards it, opening it mouth it was about to swallow the fruit before it felt a sudden force on his side causing it to miss.
The rhino turned and saw it was the lizard, enraged it started fighting with it has the other two beasts later joined in the battle for the fruit.
Half an hour later a heavily injured and bloodied rhino with broken armor walked out of the cave towards it territory leaving behind the corpses of the other beasts.
Of course alen did not know the results of what happened in the cave.
After running a few miles away he decided to find a spot to rest not bothering to think about what happened previously because he still feels pain in his heart over the fruit.
Lying down he sleeps off again but this time he was on guard.
