Ambrose looked at two mushrooms and his eyes widened in surprise. "That is Ice mushroom and Fire Mushroom at the same place. It is just like yin and yang at the same place. And that moss below it. It must also contain the heavy fire and Ice attributes."
"If I can get my hands on this patch. Then not only will I be able to help myself. I can even help Nelson to get a pet beast in tomorrow's test." There was an excited look on his face.
Not only did he found Ice Mushroom. He also got his hands on a rare Fire affinity Mushroom. This type of mushroom can help increase his yang energy.
And if he fed this to a fire affinity Mana Beast. Its progress would be super fast.
However, all of his happiness drowned in the cold water when he looked at the pond. "A Martial Master Aligator!" He was still about ten meters away from the edge of the pond. And the mushrooms were at least a hundred meters away from him.
'I can't go in or this alligator would kill me before I can even touch the Mushrooms.' Ambrose could tell that the Alligator has already spotted him in the water and was currently staring menacingly at him.
It was a clear indication that if Ambrose even stepped in the pond the Aligator would not let him leave alive.
He started at the pond for a few minutes and then clenched his fist. 'I can't take the risk! This Beast is way out of my power level. I have to search for a different place. And if I couldn't find any more Ice Mushrooms. I will come back and then risk it.'
Ambrose decided. It was best if he first checked the area around before going in that dangerous place. That Aligator would kill him before he will know what happen to him.
He stood upon the tree branch and turned around to move back. However, just as he did so he spotted a group of Red energies running towards the pond.
They were running at very fast Pace. Ambrose looked at them carefully and Identified. That was village chief and the rich kids from before. Even the parents of the rest of the kids were there.
'They have provoked the Hunk Bears.' Ambrose could also spot about twenty-five hunk bears behind them. Chasing them at a very fast pace.
Suddenly the Village Chief stopped about twenty meters away from the pond. "There is a dangerous beast ahead! Everyone move aside. Let me handle these Hunk Bears and nobody go near the Pond no matter what!"
"Yes, father! Yes, village chief!" Voices resounded and then all the people expect village chief jumped out of the path.
"Come here, you Bastards!" Village Chief shouted and took out a sword from his waist belt. The sword looked rough and there was no metallic lustre on it. However, Ambrose could tell that the sword has been used to kill many Mana Beast before.
'The Village Cheif is more powerful than I expected. Killing him would also be a challenge. However, It should not be Impossible. If I just stay careful. I may be able to land a shot on his vital spot form fifty meters away.' Ambrose knew that is he wanted to exit this village he will have to fight Village Cheif one day.
'Although I am not ready now. I can certainly be able to kill this greedy man one day. I just have to practice my reflexes and speed more with my Snipe suit.'
Ambrose looked at the village chief. Currently, he has already killed one of the Hunk Bears. And was running towards the second one. "Guys, you should also kill some of them and Celia. You use my Pyro Bird to distract them and remaining kids you also try to distract them!" He shouted at all of them.
"Let's go guys. I don't think the village chief will be able to handle these many Hunk Bears on his own. We have to help him, to get rid of them quickly." One of the middle-aged men with a goatee said and then took out a Bolo from the side of his waist.
The remaining three middle-aged men also nodded at him and took out their Bolos too. All of them jumped out of the bushes and started moving towards the Hunk Bears.
"You three go left I will help Village Cheif. Remember to keep your distance and stay safe. These Hunk Bears although just as powerful as us. Can kill us easily if they attack in groups."
"Never fight more than two alone. Retreat if you has to." The Goatee Man said and then jumped towards the village chief. Piercing his Knife in a Bear's throat that was just about to swipe at Cheif.
The three-man also jumped towards the bears killing them one by one.
"Guys lets go and distract some of the Bears. Although we will not be able to do much. However, even a little help can change the outcome of this fight." Celia said and then moved towards one of the bears.
The rest of the girls and boys also nodded and moved behind Celia with their Razer Hounds.
"Pyro Bird. Burn it down!" She yelled and then pointed at one of the Hunk Bears. "Go Little Blue, Go razer..." The guys behind her also yelled and released their Mana Beasts at the same Bear. Their strategy was to kill one bear at a time by ganging upon them.
Suddenly the village Cheif's body was flung back and he almost entered the pond. The giant alligator growled at it. Not wanting to get out of the water.
'Damn...This Aligator is too sly. It knows that I am here for the Mushrooms. That is the reason why it's not getting out of the water to kill Village Cheif when it still have chance.' Ambrose thought.
Village chief groaned as blood spread out on his chest. There was a bloody scratch mark on his chest.
"No...! Dad!" Celia abandoned her place and quickly ran towards the Village Cheif with a worried expression on her face.
"Stop! Don't come here! You go back and help your friend. This is an alpha Hunk Bear. You will be no match for him! I have a plan to take care of it so don't worry." The Village Cheif said. He has just noticed the Mushrooms on the rock and knew what a Strong Mana beast was doing here.
'If I could somehow lure this Hunk Bear Away in the water. I can grab the Mushrooms while the Aligator is busy fighting with Alpha Bear.' A smile formed on his face as he glared at the alpha Bear who was running towards him madly.
Although this Bear was just at the level nine body master it was even stronger then Village Cheif. If he somehow lured it to the pond it will at least take thirty seconds for that Aligator to kill this bear and it would be enough for him to get the Ice Mushroom.
"Come on you fat Hunk!" Village Cheif angered the Bear by pointing his sword at it. "Let me show you the power of my Throat Crushing Blade art. I have especially bought it form the Golden Falcon kingdom to kill the bastards like you!"
'A Martial Art Technique!' Ambrose's eyes widened in surprise. A martial art technique is only handed to the children in the capital and big towns. To get his hands on one. The village chief sure would have spent a lot of money.
'So all that tax money was for this!' Ambrose now understood why Village Cheif was extorting so much tax from them. He wanted to learn Martial arts and settle in a big town or Capital.
He let out a sigh after knowing about it. It happened everywhere. Even on the earth. Politicians extorted money from poor people in the name of taxes to fill their own bank accounts.
It was known that on earth no big companies or rich people paid taxes. Only helpless middle-class people were the prey.
Ambrose has accepted of this fate long ago. 'I just have to care about myself and the one that cares about me. Rest of them, it's their own business.'
He was no good Samaritan. The only people he cared about in this world was his mom and Nelson and for the rest of them, he would never risk his life.
'However, if this village chief gave my family any problems then I will have to step in.'
He just wanted a good life for both his mom and himself.
The Village Cheif moved like a snake and pierced his sword in the Bears Throat Skillfully. After that, he tilted his body down a little and then pushed the Mad Bear at the edge of the Pond.
"Die! You Piece of Crap!" He jumped and then kicked the sword that was half in bears neck already completely in it.
"Haa...!" The bear tried to growl however no sound came out. "Shut up you brain dead!" Village chief watched the Bear fall in the Pond with a scorn on his face.
Ambrose also looked carefully. This was his chance to get his hand on the two mushrooms. 'Now come on Aligator! Have the taste of that bear.'
And just as he thought that, the black scaled Aligator jumped out of the water and munched on the Alpha Hunk Bear.
