Chapter 317 Soul Speaker
“Carrie, why don’t everyone summon their spirit wolves?” Abel asked in confusion. Spirit wolves were pretty good at fighting, and they could almost move at the speed of light.
“Bennett, druids can only summon one type of beast at a time. Since we have our mad wolves, we can no longer summon our spirit wolves!” Lady Carrie explained as she knew Abel didn’t have much foundation knowledge on Druids.
“Bennett, the plants will hate you if you summon spirit wolves in the forest for too long!” Lady Muriel interrupted.
By this point, Abel remembered spirit wolves were half dead beings. Their bodies were filled with death qi, so of course, plants would not like it. This scent was like poison to them.
It was actually very safe for 5 druids to enter the forest at the same time. Druids were naturally very close to nature. Normal beasts and soul beast would often leave when they sensed a large number of ravens coming since a group was often more powerful than a single being
The mad wolves had slowed down after half a day. Running in trails was already a lot more energy consuming than running in flat grounds, and those mad wolves were not really mounted in the true sense of the word. Therefore, of course, they had gotten tired after half a day of running with an elf on their back.
“Let’s find some water and have a rest!” Lady Carrie commanded.
“Yes, captain!” The 4 Ladies called in unison.
Lady Jenny jumped off her mad wolf, almost like she was flying and ended up on a big tree. She held her little hand on a branch and closed her eyes. After around a minute, she jumped back on her mad wolf.
“Captain, there is water 3 miles towards that direction!” Said Lady Jenny pointing at Lady Carrie.
“Nice, not too far. Let’s go have a look!” Lady Carrie said as she speeded forward with the 4 ladies following behind.
Abel gently tapped in Black Wind’s neck and signed it to follow. However, he then closed his eyes and asked the surrounding trees with his druid soul about where the water was located himself. A few surrounding big trees replied that water was located within 3 miles, 5 miles, and 7 miles.
“You want to communicate with big trees as well?” Asked Lady Morrie as she rode her Mad Wolf next to Abel. Her face seemed very innocent, and her eyes were always full of happiness.
“Morrie, is it hard?” Abel asked gently.
“Of course, only Jenny can do that in our squad. The others could only hear the replies from the big trees very vaguely!” Said Lady Morrie with eyes full of admiration as she looked upfront at the back Lady Jenny.
Abel felt strange; he didn’t even use that much effort to hear the replies from the trees. He didn’t even hold his hand on the branches, was it really that hard?
“Morrie, what so different about Jenny?” Asked Abel as he turned his head back to Morrie.
“Jenny’s soul is naturally very pure; she is a soul speaker. They the most highly demanded member in any squad. They will make everything much easier!” Morrie explained.
“Soul speaker!” Abel mumbled to himself. It seemed like he was one of them too.
In regards to pureness, maybe nothing could be compared to Abel’s druid soul. This soul basically had no thoughts and desires. Although it could make decisions, the process was very machine-like. It was basically a smart computer.
Most of the druid soul’s actions and decisions were based solely on the commands sent out by Abel’s main soul. For example, after Abel’s main soul sent out the command to attack, his druid soul would just automatically find the best opportunity to do so.
The water in the lake upfront was almost completely transparent. Anyone could clearly see many little fishes carelessly swimming within it. It seemed like they were not bothered by the presence of those elves at all.
There was an empty field with traces of beasts next to the lake. It seemed like this lake belonged to the beasts living nearby, but since there was a large patch of ravens in the sky, they would not have dared to come out.
“Not bad, we can drink the water here. Let’s have a rest here for the middle of the day!” Lady Carrie loudly commanded. She was very satisfied with the place.
Lady Carrie was the first to jump off her mad wolf. She then gave it a little pad, and it went off to drink the water in a howl. The other Ladies followed and let go of the mad wolves as well.
“I’ll go find some food!” Said Lady Marian holding up a small blade.
“Marian, I’ve brought food already!” Said Abel padding’s his portal bag.
“Bennett, are you even a druid?” Lady Marian said in a mocking tone.
Abel felt his heart dropped a little, but then he realized she was just joking. Maybe he had just done something wrong again.
“It is our tradition as druids. We don’t bring food to the forest ourselves. We are the ruler here; anything you can see is our food!” Said Lady Marian loudly with a tone full of pride.
By this point, a wild mad bee flew across them from a bush of flowers. Marian no longer cared about Abel anymore. Instead, she called Lady Jenny, “Jenny, there are wild mad bees here!”
When Abel saw the wild mad bee, he could help but remember the time he got attacked by them. His heart tensed up, and heard Lady Jenny’s voice, “Marian, you want to eat wild mad bees?”
“I haven’t eaten one in a long time. I miss it so much; I can’t believe we’re so lucky this time to find some so close to Angstrom City!” Said Lady Marian. The other ladies nodded in agreement as well.
“Ok, let’s go!” Lady Jenny said with a light smile while waving her hand.
Abel felt a little nervous as he watched Lady Jenny approach the wild mad bees. Of course, Abel knew that Lady Jenny was confident in her ability; his heart was still tensed after knowing how scary those things were. A rune card appeared in his hand. He was ready to save Lady Jenny’s life at any time.
Lady Jenny gently lifted up her finger when she got close to the wild mad bee. However, that bee didn’t seem like they were going to attack her. Instead, it leaned its little body on her finger, and after around 20 seconds, it flew up again, spun around her, and flew forward.
Afterward, Lady Jenny followed that wild mad bee forward. It seemed like the other Ladies were used to this, so they no longer cared, and each began to prepare their own food.
“Don’t worry Bennett, as a soul speaker, Jenny will not be attacked in the forest unless she runs into a soul beast!” Said Lady Muriel with a smile after she saw the worried look on Abel’s face.
“Can I follow her to have a look?” Said Abel pointing at Lady Jenny as she was walking away.
“Just don’t get too close, or you will distract Jenny!” Lady Muriel lightly warned him.
“Don’t worry about him Muriel. Go hunt something. Marian, go find some fruit. Morrie, you go prepare the firewood,” said Lady Carrie clapping her hand.
Abel followed Lady Jenny quietly from afar. Since he had the transformation necklace, no scent would come out of him as long as he didn’t do so intentionally.
Lady Jenny continued to follow that wild mad bee. It was flying very slow, and it would even wait for her from time to time. After a few minutes, they stumble upon a giant beehive on a tree. Countless wild mad bees were flying in and out of it.
Even from afar, Abel could still hear the buzzing sound of those bees. However, Lady Jenny did not stop as she gently jumped on the tree. The weird thing was that none of the wild mad bees had attacked her. It was almost like they saw her as a member of their clan.
She then took out a little blade from her waist and cut out a little piece from the side of the beehive to expose the honey. After she cut up a few pieces of honey, she carefully covered up the be hive again.
