Heart Cultivation

So many fruits were enough to make the sambar drool, but most of them cannot be stocked for long time so it would be fine if they eat within a week.

Jen picked the piece of half cooked meat, and took a bite, it could help heal her fleshly wounds, there was no spoon and chopstick as it was a luxury for humans.

There was sudden silence outside, the female sambar heard the squeaking voices and came out of the tent, the large area around was slowly covering under the blanket of darkness, it was sight for onlookers, Jen followed behind half beats sambar and gasped the ground as well as the sky was turning dark and if she correctly remember, this would remain for whole six months.

There were all the beasts standing outside of their tents or stone chambers just to witness the spectacle, the whole tribe was enveloped with the night, Jen instinctively looked around for her shock, she could only see flickering dots of eyes as the half beasts were blinking their eyes, she could only see their eyes, from the bright lit eyes she could tell where a half beast was standing, Jen looked beside her and sure enough the female sambar was no exception, but there was problem she could see them because their eyes were bright and lit but they were unable to see her, the sambar was sure that the human was standing right next to her so she voiced, "Human, you should not get worried, once your eyes got used to with the darkness you will be able to fondle about," the female was only giving some hope, it was impossible to see through this deep night.

"I am not much worried as I have you as my best friend and I trust your eyes instead of my own in this darkness," the female sambar could only hear that voice full of trust, the words of this humans brought a deep sense of attachment with this human, the female sambar was touched by her words.

Jen was forced to think if the humans cannot see through darkness then how the human tribe was able to attack on the half beast tribe occasionally, the fox has related this grave matter earlier.

"We should eat our food first," the sambar spoke.

Inside the bivouac of leader, the wolf was standing in front of the half beast lion, "If we take that human as guest that means we are responsible to take care her life…" he intentionally left the other half of his sentence to let the other respected backers of the leader understand the situation.

"I think, there is nothing new, the human tribe always took these six months as an opportunity in the past," all they aware about the situation already just that they needed to take care one more member in this tribe, the tiger beast was not much affected.

The nonchalance of the backers was a headache for wolves and foxes, they should have spoken about this matter but they seemed to less care this matter.

"We have enough food stored, we only needed to remain alert in these six months, a stone chamber will be built in few days and then the human would be s.h.i.+fted there instead of the tent of the female sambar," the lion beast spoke.

They might not be able to get help from Red Rider because of two reasons, the first was the rule that only who could survive have rights to live in this region and second they were not willing to bother the human tribe in near future, the reason was those mysterious humans and the number has increased once again, initially they were only four in total count but slowly more mysterious humans appeared in the previous year and now the counting has crossed the number ten.

It was warning and alarming at the same time, the Red Riders tribe wanted to search the mystery behind their appearance and what they were always looking for and searching the entire lower region of Celestial Sphere, the evolved beasts have their means to spy the activities of these mysterious humans and they found recently how ruthlessly they killed a noob cultivator who was no more than Legend.

Once they have enough information, they would definitely chase this human tribe, even if they have to bloodbath again, this dark region belonged to evolved beasts, it was only their magnanimity that they let live other tribes too, there was no chance for mistake if they were unable to observe the true strength of human tribe then the situation might turn against them.

The half beast leader came out when someone pointed the ongoing change in the atmosphere, they witness the sight of prevailing night, this would prove really challenging this time.

In the small tent of the female sambar, Jen was sitting again on the ground, the sambar could see her food but Jen was sitting motionless, she took out the small ball of Night illumination Stone which was covering the clone product of some senior most mender.

As soon as she brought out the stone, the small tent lit with enough light for her to see clearly, but it was not much blinding to the point to seep out of the tent, so inside the tent was dimly lit.

The sambar smiled to see that finally this human has some solution with her, the female sambar was slightly disappointed and thinking what she should do to help the human and did not eat her food despite the fact that she could still see her food and eat but she was worried for Jen.

Jen was also aware that female sambar was thinking for some solution, "Now, we should eat first," Jen smiled.

"This human is smart," sambar complemented and started to eat.

"So how those humans are able to see through dark night?" Jen asked the most pressing question.

"They call it attribute of nature," the female sambar stuffed food and at the same time answered, it seemed really funny when she was trying to behave well but failed to do so.

Jen squinted her eyes, "attribute of nature?" was not it the attribute of dark sight? She asked to herself but how can all human possess that rare attribute, it was not impossible but the possibility of being in one place those who learned it was impossible, they should have scattered like the gals of wool.

Does not it sound inconceivable?

"Not all of them are strong or learned in this attribute, the new addition in the human tribe possess such strange qualities, they are the reason that human tribe again wanted to chase us," the sambar saw conflicted expressions of the human and cleared the doubt, now this sound normal, she remember that man if she was not misinterpreting the man who wanted to kill her must be among the new addition of the tribe because he was strong no doubt and mysterious at the same time.

According to female sambar, those humans used this attribute to attack on the half beasts in the dark but what was there advantage because the half beasts could see with their eyes as it was day for them then why humans chose this six months to show up?

The situation was pretty confusing for her.

Jen have to wait for few days until her wounds were completely healed to start her way back and cultivate, until then she was struck here and because of her the conflict between the tribes has gotten more flames at least it was what she gathered from the various gazes of half beasts.

She should focus to heal up and leave as soon as possible before the human tribe use this excuse for attack, but what would happen when she would leave? It was question that popped up in her head all of a sudden.

She did not think about this aspect yet, how selfishly she was thinking until now.

She had no answer of her question so she turned to the female sambar who has cleaned her mouth with a torn cloth.

"I don"t want you to think about the distant things, just focus on your healing, and I know you have a n.o.ble heart," the female sambar could see concern on her face, if she related all the conversation with the other half beasts, they would definitely treasure this human, almost all the half beasts have suffered at the hands of human and probably in the first they would not believe it.

"A human with a kind and concerning heart, you must be spouting the biggest joke to win" truth be told, the image of a kind and compa.s.sionate human never crossed their eyes and minds.

Whenever they faced humans, they found them heartless, merciless and careless toward others.

The female sambar took deep breath while closely looking at the face of the human, Jen was sleeping while sitting against the tent wall.
