9 Plot Turns Into A Lucky Encounter

The next day, Chase got up very early when the sun was still rising. He was quite excited about the mission given by Mason. Since he got to the forest, all he did was either meditate by listening to the environment, hunt rabbits or gather herbs, well apart from yesterday where he hunted a magic beast for the first time.

When he came out of the house, he met Mason who was sitting in his usual position. Mason looked at him and smiled creepily, "I hope you're prepared ..good luck..hehe"

Chase "what about the weapon you promised to give me?"

Mason waved his hand and a spear of about 1.77metres long appeared suspended on the air. The rod looked like it was made of wood while the sharp blade that was shaped like the tip of an arrow was dim silver in colour.

Chase's ears twitched as he studied the spear. "This spear has nothing special to it. It looks like a normal spear used for hunting normal animals."

Mason made a smile "Well what did you expect? a spear made of gold?"

Chase walked forward and grabbed the spear with his left hand. "Damn...selfish old man."

Mason pretended as if he did not here anything and continued to enjoy the morning sun.

...

Chase was now about 3hours walk from the house and he was still walking deeper into the forest. On his way, he met a lot of powerful magic beasts which he easily avoided. His hearing abilities had almost reached the limit so it was not that hard for him to sense the beasts as long as he was careful.

Well his luck came to a stop when he met a black fanged boar. The boar was over 3meters tall and it's skin was pitch black. He accidentally stepped into the boar's territory which led to his present circumstance.

He was running like a mad man towards the cave that was just a little further as the boar kept on getting closer and closer to him. The boar was a rank 5 magic beast and he was just a rank 2 late stage elementalist. If the boar caught up to him, it's no question as to what the result will be. But at least the magic beast did not really excel in speed which was a good news for him although it was still faster than him.

Mason was actually floating on the air some distance away as he watched Chase being pursued. His face was full of joy at Chase's misfortune. But he was still on high alert ready to help immediately if anything goes too wrong though. If Chase knew that Mason was watching, he would have caused all Mason's generations. But if he knew that the old man can actually fly, he would have been flabbergasted.

Chase was still gathering all the air elements he could gather to his legs as he sprinted away from the beast that seemed to never get tired. His stamina was depleting and he knew that he could not hold out for long.

When he got to an area with denser trees, the boar on his tail came to a sudden halt as if it saw a ghost. It looked at Chase with pity and ran back towards its territory.

Chase was surprised by the sudden turn of events. "That bastard..is it tired.?...wait was that pity that was shown on its face?... it's pitying me because it couldn't eat me?"

Little did Chase know that the boar was pitying him because of the territory he ran into. The boar probably felt that Chase's life would have been easier if he just allowed himself to get eaten by the boar.

Chase stopped thinking about the boar and continued to proceed to his destination. But as he walked, he felt that something was off. "Why aren't there any magic beasts here? it's strangely quiet."

Well he did not think much of it and continued walking with his new spear leading his way until he saw the cave whose opening was bigger than his little house by 10times.

Mason who was still floating on the sky in the same spot he was at before suddenly had a strange look on his face. "Why can't I feel that beast's presence there? it didn't die off right?...if it did my plot is going to fail........or... it's properly sleeping and hiding its presence. How can it die quietly like that....hehe....Brat get ready to wet your pants...hehe"

...

Chase carefully and slowly walked into the cave. When he entered and looked around while straining his hearing to the limit, his lifeless eyes nearly popped out from their suckets.

There was a huge snakelike looking magic beast that was about 7metres tall and 15metres long lying motionlessly in front of him. The beast had 3 horns that were about 3metres long each. It's body from head to tail was pitch black and it looked like it could blend with darkness. It had a set of black wings on its back and also powerful looking hind limbs and fore limbs.

There was a white egg the size of a soccer ball in front of the beast's head and it looked like the beast was admiring the egg before its death.

Chase took sometime to calm down before turning around to study the cave well. He soon began shouting madly "I'm rich! I'm rich!...hahaha...thank you old Lu!...I never knew my mission would come with this kind of bonus!"

Around him were mountings of gold. He estimated that there were more than 50billion. There were also up to hundreds of treasures stacked up at a side of the cave and a lot of rare herbs planted at another side. He even saw the rising moon herb that Mason told him to get. But he did not see just one. There were up to a hundred rising moon herbs gathered together.

Chase started sobbing "I never knew that Master was so nice. And I always made fun of him...sob .sob.." He then clenched his fist tightly while making a vow. "Master...I will definitely train harder and serve you forever."

Mason that was still observing everything from the sky was still trying to figure out what was going on. 'What the heck?...the winged python dragon actually died?...fuck!...and it died while giving birth?...a rank 10 magic beast actually died while giving birth?...and it does not look like it was injured before its labour. And it left its treasures...damn!!...this isn't what was meant to happen!...I planned this plot to scare the brat not.. not...to give him a lucky encounter... fuckkk!!!"

Chase walked towards the treasures and picked up a spatial ring that was black. He put it on his finger and it adjusted to his size. He then began to dump all the gold and treasures into his newly acquired spatial ring including the herbs. He then walked to the egg and stretched his hand to touch it.

When his hand came in contact with it, the egg began to crack and a small black leg could be seen trying to break the egg apart.

Before Chase could react, the egg was broken apart revealing a small creature. It looked like a small snake with legs. It was pitch black with tiny black wings and black hind and fore limbs. It had one small gold coloured horn at the centre of its forehead. Its eyelids slowly opened to reveal a pair of beautiful green eyes.

The first thing that appeared in its big eyes was a young boy with grey eyes and black hair looking at it with curiosity. It also looked at the boy and their eyes met each other. One lifeless and one lively.

The beast suddenly crawled out of the egg and licked Chase's hand that was still on the broken shells. It looked at Chase with extreme love and adoration as if Chase was its mother.

Chase "..."

Mason who was still high in the sky muttered "That lucky brat...he just got a potentially powerful beast for free."
