BXBX NOVEL Chapter 867 - Territorial
He was not sure why this was the case but this burden made it seem like he was imprisoned.
Yet, he had stayed back to find Jennifer and help her out.
And after doing both, Jason had already been glad when they traveled through the Julandra region.
However, even traveling was not enjoyable anymore because there hadn\'t been any dangers.
The excitement of possible attacks from strong beasts was close to zero inside the Julandra region.
This could be considered to be a plus point, but to Jason it was almost as if his progress was restricted.
Coming across placid beasts and the fact that they weren\'t able to stay inside a city without being eyed oddly made him feel uneasy.
Unfortunately, this didn\'t become better when he left the Julandra region only to enter the Shadow walkers\' territory.
There, he was even more restricted because the Shadow walkers might have attacked Jennifer at any point, which forced Jason to stay vigilant all the time.
Yet, even in the Shadow walker\'s territory, not many beasts dared to approach him.
Other than that, he was also not able to establish contact with other beings.
After spending far more than a year in the Dungeon of the Primordial Descendant, he had felt cut off from the outside world while the war that had suddenly emerged on Argos caused a great headache to Jason.
The war made him recall Argos, and the Great Argos war where they had been attacked by dozens of races.
Even until now, he was not sure how they had survived the Great Argos war, which caused Jason to smile dryly.
As he stood on top of the over-dimensional Bisons\' corpses, his mind was filled with all kinds of thoughts.
However, instead of wasting his time on thinking further, Jason stored the corpses before they continued advancing through the wilderness.
While flying through the mountains, he was momentarily confused how come Bisons had reached high up on a plateau that couldn\'t even be reached by foot.
But it was only a moment later that he shook his head, thinking that it was not important.
Turning his head towards the front, Jason quickly noticed that the beasts in the air were more aggressive.
As a reaction to this, they descended to the ground, only to notice that even the ground was filled with aggressive beasts.
It was almost as if they were extremely territorial, and trying to protect the small field of lands they had claimed for themselves.
This was an interesting sight, and it was only when Jason saw someone flying that he began to understand what was going on.
The being was flying through the lands in a zig-zag motion, following a precise path.
The paths that the humans flying through the air followed were most likely the borders of the surrounding beasts\' territories.
As such, by not trespassing through the territories around, one was avoiding being attacked.
In Jason\'s opinion, this tactic was rather cowardly, but after giving it another thought, he couldn\'t help but feel that it might be better to avoid certain beasts.
After all, he was not omnipotent, and Jennifer was still by his side. Acting arrogantly would bring forth death, which was not what he wanted.
Avoiding beasts was not important if he wanted to fight all kinds of beasts, and the more the merrier, but there were beasts he shouldn\'t attack at all.
Some of the beasts were too powerful to slaughter him within moments.
Thus, the only way to avoid them while fighting others was to figure out how to determine a territory of beasts.
Somehow, the territories must have been marked, even if it was only with urine.
Thus, Jason started his research, confusing Jennifer, who was still absent-mindedly thinking about her master.
It was not like she wanted to figure out the sad truth because she was sure that it would hurt her.
However, Jennifer couldn\'t avoid thinking about her master and the fact that she was likely to be executed in a few days.
It was sad, and if possible, she would want to talk to Luna just once, but given all the current circumstances, this was simply impossible.
Even if it was possible, the effort was most likely not worth the reward she received.
Sadly, it was the truth about the fact that Luna had just raised her for her personal gains, whether it was to redeem a favor or to send her to Kinra island.
Shaking her head, Jennifer tried to distract herself, which was why she turned to Jason.
She decided to ask Jason what he was doing, before helping him out.
It was quite common to search for proper signs that marked a territory, but it was very important, even if it might not look like it.
After all, if Jason were to encounter someone stronger than him, he might be able to enter the territory of a powerful beast that might help him by killing his pursuer.
He might as well make use of the territories for his personal benefit.
The strong beasts that were slightly more powerful than him could serve as good \'practice\' for him in order to advance his combat awareness, perception of all kinds of things, proficiency in martial art techniques, and affinities.
There was so much he had to do, and the things that flashed through his mind were not even half of what he planned to do.
In fact, the most important for him was to practice the Kanadi of a Primordial technique more often which was now possible once again.
He might be forced to use a portable bathtub, but he had more than enough nutrition serums and cultivation stones to do everything he wanted for quite some time.
Even Jennifer was able to use the Kanadi of a Primordial technique for several months.
Together, Jason didn\'t think that they would take much longer to travel around and find another settlement.
In fact, Jason believed that the Ninad beast realm was huge, but so was most likely the number of humans inside it.
He was not sure why, but he believed that every single race that accepted humans in their rows was in possession of at least one portal towards the Ninad beast realm.
This was not something he could be sure of, but the thousands of different mana fluctuations inside the settlement were enough to cement his theory.
He was becoming increasingly sure that the number of humans inside the Ninad realm exceeded his first impression by far.
After all, he had initially believed that there were less than ten thousand humans that had left Argos before he requested Wisse to seal off the world\'s bridges.
That was completely wrong, and Jason didn\'t have a single clue as to how many humans from Argos were inside the Ninad beast realm, or anywhere close by.
Because of that, Jason wanted to figure out more about the other humans. He wanted to see if they treated their soulbonds any better, or if they were similar to the humans that were governed by the Shadow walkers.
Jason sincerely hoped that this would not be the case, but who knew what other races thought about soulbonds?
As for the Shadow walkers, and their alliance that was most likely formed owing to the three portals that were directly next to each other, they could die for all he cared.
There was no need to think nicely about them.
Thus, instead of bothering about the Shadow walkers, he left with Jennifer as quickly as possible, as a premonition was forming in the depths of his conscience.
He had a sinking feeling that everyone inside the town behind him would soon try to hunt him down, even if there was currently no sign of this possibility.
Despite that, he quickly grasped Jennifer\'s hand before flying over the areas he presumed to be the borders separating the territories.
Yet, it was at this moment that something happened, but in front of him instead of behind. The ground in front of him tore open as a thunderous roar resounded through the surrounding causing Jason and Jennifer to stiffen.
"That\'s… an…?"
