Chapter 306: Allegiance

After putting Anna back to the ground, the Evil Treant looks at Jayna like waiting for the next instruction.

"Boohoo.. Mr. Wood.. Mr. Wood.. Lift me once again." said Anna while pouting.

Anna begins to demand while jumping around. However, the Evil Treant only looks at Anna silently before looking back at Jayna, waiting for the next order.

Not knowing what to do, "Anna, come here. Don\'t be naughty, and you.. I guess you could.. go away." said Jayna uncertain at the end of her sentence.

Hearing Jayna\'s words, the Evil Treant immediately uprooted from the spot and walked away.

"Ehh.. Mr. Wood, where are you going? Lift me once again." said Anna trying to pursue the Evil Treant.

Fortunately, Jayna managed to stop the little troublemaker in time. After the Evil Treant is completely gone, "Shadow guard, make sure others do not know this incident besides father." said Jayna coldly.

After that, Jayna\'s shadow begins to shake and move in a certain direction.

\'Haa… I hope this matter is not blown up.\' thought Jayna before continuing searching for monsters.

Like ordinary weather, there is also nighttime and daytime inside the Greenever forest. In the daytime, most of the insectoid and plantation monsters are active. On the other hand, only plantations and a few insectoid monsters become active at nighttime.

Since there are fewer monsters to hunt, the adventurer usually uses the nighttime to rest. Currently, the time is late in the afternoon, and the sun is low.

Rather than going back to the camp, Jayna and Anna decide to continue their hunt since they only need a few monsters to complete their tasks. After venturing into the forest, Jayna and Anna feel a familiar presence approaching them.

"Angus!!" called Anna while running in a certain direction.

*Bonk* "Tch.. Anna, how many times have I told you not to run recklessly." said Angus while hitting the little troublemaker\'s head.

"Ouch.. Hurt.. It hurts." said Anna while rolling on the ground.

"Jayna, I am back. How is your task?" called Angus as he approached Jayna.

"Welcome back. We are almost done with our task. I just need to hunt three more monsters while Anna needs to hunt one more." said Jayna.

"I see. Need some help to find the monster." said Angus.

"Although it is faster that way, I think it is better to search them slowly." said Jayna.

"Sure. If you want that way." said Angus.

Then, they begin to venture deep into the forest. Jayna and Anna are searching and fighting the nearby insectoid monster without Angus\'s help. On the other hand, Angus only observed Jayna and Anna\'s fight from behind.

"Anyway, did something happen during your hunt? I could feel a small tremor from your direction." said Jayna.

"Well, I might go on a little bit of a rampage. Hehehe.." said Angus before he told Jayna his hunt.

After hearing Angus\'s story while killing a few approaching insectoid monsters, "Ehh.. You seem to like having fun." said Jayna.

"Well, you could say that. Anyway, did something interesting happen that I missed?" said Angus.

"Yeah, we meet Mr. Wood." said Anna from the side while slapping the nearby insectoid monster.

"Mr. Wood??" said Angus confusedly.

"It is actually like this…" Jayna told about the obedient Evil Treant to Angus.

After hearing her story, "Hmm.. That\'s certainly interesting. I am not sure for now, but I think it is because of our Ancient Power [Allegiance]." said Angus.

[Allegiance] is one of the Ancient Powers that Angus and Jayna receive from the Ancient King Queen of Beast. It is an ancient power to govern over living beings that are weaker than them.

So far, they could only use ancient power to detect and distinguish monsters/beasts in their surroundings.

"Yeah, I thought so. If I am not wrong, the Queen of Beast also said this ancient power is more suitable for me." said Jayna.

\'Hmm.. Maybe because she is merged with the Fire Phoenix, this power manifested more. But, to control monsters… This power will certainly cause trouble. Fortunately, Jayna moves fast and uses the shadow guard to take care of the monitor teacher.\' thought Angus.

(a/n : The shadow guard is not killing the monitor teacher, only bind the teacher through silence contract)

"Have you ever tried it on another monster?" asked Angus.

"Yeah, but none of them is obedient like Evil Treant. Maybe it only works for Evil Treant." said Jayna.

"Hmm… We need to use this power carefully. However, to leave it alone will be wasteful. I think we should ask for your father and uncle Jade first. Furthermore, We also need to know which monster will be affected to avoid any accidents." said Angus.

"Sure." said Jayna while butchering the last grade two insectoid monster.

After that, they finally finished their task.

"Haa.. I am tired." said Anna while slumping on the ground.

"It is because you are always running around carelessly and attracting monsters." rebuked Angus.

"Yeah, but because of her, we also finished the task before nighttime." said Jayna.

"*Sigh* You are spoiling Anna too much. Anyway, let\'s get back to the camp. I don\'t want to set up another tent here." said Angus.

"Angus, Carry me." said Anna.

"Walk on your own. You will become a pig if you keep getting lazy." said Angus.

"Piggy!! No way, Anna loves piggy but doesn\'t want to become piggy like the one that is trying to approach big sis." said Anna.

"Hoo.. and what did you do to them?" said Angus.

"I beat them until their face resembles piggy." said Anna.

"Hahahaha.. That\'s my little girl." said Angus.

On the other hand, Jayna could only sigh but was also happy at her boyfriend\'s behavior. They arrive at the camp not long after that, just as the sky becomes dark. Then, they met with the others and asked about their hunt progress.

Unlike Angus, Jayna, and Anna, the others still have not completed their task. Most of them still need around one or two more days before completing their task. Despite this, the others didn\'t rush things as they knew safety was more important than completing the task.

The experience inside the Endless Battlefield dimension already taught them always to be prudent and stay alert at any time. Actually, if they are going all out, they could do this task in a day, but they will be forced to exhaust and use their trump card.

Ian needs to get help from Marko, Axel needs the support of a second-grade spirit or more, Mia needs to spend more mana, and Millie needs to exhaust her soul power. Using these trump cards for the task is wasteful since there is always an unknown factor inside the dungeon.

After meeting with everyone, Angus decides to check the bear bee cubs he caught before. Since the bear bee cubs are weak and not even a graded monster, their magic resistance is low and susceptible to sleep magic.

Currently, the cubs are still sleeping soundly inside the special cage. Then, Angus decides to cast a Deep Sleep spell on each of them to make sure they are not waking up until they return.

Looking at the Bear Bee cubs, "Cute!! Angus.. Angus… Could I have one?" said Anna from the side.

"Err.. You can but not now." said Angus.

"Ehh.. why??" said Anna.

"Currently, they are still called monsters. They need to be purified first before they could become your familiar." said Angus.

Monsters like Bear Bee cubs could still be tamed into familiar beasts since they are still not corrupted by the miasma. They also need to be purified first as they will not go berserk when they reach grade one or higher.

The purifying process is quite complicated and expensive. Moreover, they could only be done to the ungraded monster like the bear bee cub. This is also the major reason no one tried to breed monsters for harvesting their part.

The purification fee is too expensive. Unless the monster is sold to become familiar to others, they will never get back their money. Furthermore, cultivating monsters requires a lot of resources and effort.

Basically, breeding monsters just to take their monster part is not a profitable business. Of course, if they skip the tamed and purifying process, they could make money. However, there is also risk for the breakout, especially high-grade monsters.

Therefore, most of the kingdom prohibited cultivating or sheltering monsters to avoid this disaster. In the past, there were already a few cases where many towns got annihilated because some greedy people tried to breed monsters without being properly tamed or purified.

Currently, only large organizations in the underground world still dare to do this kind of business. Angus decided to take Bear Bee cubs not because he wanted to breed them. But, also they are pretty expensive in the market.

Bear Bee is an elite monster that could reach third grade after they are going into adulthood. In other words, it is like having another elite combatant equal to a grade-four combatant.

Usually, cultivating a grade-four combatant takes a lot of resources and a dozen years. It also depends on the person\'s talent and effort. Therefore, monsters like Bear Bee cubs are always high on demand, especially in wealthy and influential circles.

Looking at the Bear Bee cubs, "Angus, could you give me one of the cubs? Of course, I will pay for it." said Ian.
