Keeler let them digest this information. He also would have just attacked and tried to attain even if it was just a drop of her blood as he needed to take the remaining of the horned Beasts back to the spirit forest.
But aggressiveness wasn’t in his nature and chose the talk with them. He was right to have taken this route, at least, they wouldn’t refuse to give him sothing since he also provided information to them.
Argh...
What are you doing?!
Stop!!!"
Loud shouts ca from the other side startling Keeler to his feet. It was clearly a fight. He imdiately galloped over.
Sydney also couldn’t continue her thoughts and imdiately stood up to go see. It was night right now so what was going on? Let’s go see." She said but Ash shook his head at her.
No. We can’t! There’s a strong scent of blood and the murder intent is strong." He held her hand.
Sydney thought of sothing and looked at Ash with wide eyes. He nodded. It could be the hound horned Beasts.

Where the fighting ca from, Keeler arrived only to find that five guards had been killed ruthlessly. What’s this Keener!?" He bellowed out to the attackers.
Oh..brother...what’s with the temper?"
You dare cross into my territory and kill you you have the nerve to ask about my temper!?" Keeler was huffing in anger.
Heheh. Still the sa." Keener was a black horse and his whole body emitted a black and chilling gas. I’ve been waiting the whole day but my guests didn’t cross my territory. Since you’ve had your ti, let have mine. After all, we are brothers!"
You are really over your head! A blood beast like yourself wants to cross to the spirit forest? Using the core? Hahahaha... you no longer belong to our path!" Keeler laughed with ridicule.
Who said I want to go back to the spirit forest? It’s you who is over your head. My intention is to make sure that you also remain here with ...hehehe.. how’s it?" Keener asked with a dark chuckle.

Ray rushed back to where Sydney had been taking cover with the others. We need to leave now!" He said urgently.
Mm." Sydney nodded and looked at the few horned Beasts that had surrounded them. Ever since Keeler went to deal with the other party, another leader ca over and stated their intentions and Sydney had given them a few strands of her hair.
I’m really sorry! If we didn’t co to your ho, all this wouldn’t have happened!". She said regretfully.
It’s alright. We surely will make it to the spirit forest and nothing will happen." A female assured her.
Sydney got out of her mates encirclent and went to hug so her friends. After the exchange and continued urging of the leader, Sydney and her mates took the secret exit to leave the horned Beasts territory in haste.
A battle cry was heard just as Sydney and her group ran out of the settlent. She was forced to look back in worry. She wanted to go back and help.
We’ve both fulfilled our end of the bargain Sydney. We need to go." Ray said urgently. The feeling he got from those demon like horses was ten tis fold than that he got from the hound rabbits.
They had no choice but to run off.
They took this a hundred feet wide tunnel and ran non stop. The leader had told them that this tunnel would lead them over to the safer side of the forest which was most dominated by beastn clans.
They didn’t stop and kept running for a good two days before they got to see the light once again.
There’s the exit up ahead." Ash called and they hurried over. Ash made sure to first inspect the place before signalling for the others to co out.
When they erged from the tunnel, they imdiately arrived at an abandoned village. There wasn’t a sign of any beastman in sight and the place felt eerie.
The whole village constituted of around fifty stone houses each facing the other and there was a single pathway. The whole village sat on rely fifty acres of land under rough estimation. It wasn’t a big clan but neither was it small!
Ken ran to a small stone house and rushed out after a short while. This was a horse tribe and it’s been days since they left." He said solemnly.
Then what do we do?" Shawn asked. They hadn’t yet decided whether to head back to the city of beasts of proceed.
But from the knowledge they had learnt, it was better not to wander off. Whether it was true or false that Sydney was the core, they had to play it safe.
Let’s go back." Sydney said. She was curious to learn more about the core but not at the risk of her life and her mates. If it ca a ti and there was no other choice but to venture out there, she’d do so but now, it was better to head ho.
Soone’s coming!" Caden warned and all of them imdiately ran over to one of the houses to hide. Ash and the others released their hormones to try and hide Sydney’s scent as much as possible as they didn’t know who was coming their way.

Wow!! Even old Horse abandoned his village!! How many abandoned tribes have we so far seen! This is...." a male voice spoke with great astonishnt. He hadn’t expected his old friends to have fled even before the foreigners crossed over. They must have been given a scare!
It looks like the whol beast Continent is desolate. It’s a foreign feeling." A female also spoke not used to such an atmosphere.
Halt!" Greg spoke with caution and everyone ca to a stop. There’s been soone in this village." He said and it was at this mont that the others took notice of the existing scent.
They must have run off when they sensed us coming." The old man said with a humph.
No. They are still around!" Greg said with certainty.
Thry can’t possibly outnumber us can they!?" Enzo spoke itching to beat soone up!
Co out! We know you are here!!!" The older man’s voice rang out through the village leaving an echo in its way.
Screech!!!!!
Caden descended from the skies with a cry flapping his majestic wings. He sent dust particles all over the place.
Hey kid!! Don’t try to show off! Get down here and talk! If not run for the heels!" Greg shouted at Caden who was making them eat dust.
Caden scanned through the group and saw that they weren’t strays but he was unfamiliar with them all. He might have been able to notice Ash’s father but he wasn’t in his panther form so....
Who are you and where are you headed?" He asked.
What?! Look kid! Is this so sort of road block?!" Greg was gnashing his teeth.
Kid...we are all beastn. Actually, we just crossed the mountain and are headed for the beast city." Ash’s father spoke.
The city can no longer accommodate any more immigrants. If you wish to settle. It’s better to settle down in these abandoned villages."
Huh! So you are from the beast city! From the eagle tribe. So you know King Carlos?" Ash’s father asked.
How do you know my father?" Caden asked.
Well...I’m his friend!" Ash’s father answered. He never put in airs despite being older. He loved interacting with the younger ones.
How?" Caden asked.
Forr city lord." He replied. Not many knew him. He had run off to adventure and also threw off the other mates to his dear female.
Huh!!!" Greg and the others were astound. This guy was a while city lord!!!
Ash’s father!!?" Caden cried out in shock.
That’s right!" He nodded proudly. "That’s my boy! Eh...you know where my boy is?" He asked.
Ah..." Caden hadn’t spoken much when Ken and the others who had been hiding stepped out from the small stone house.
Ash!!!!" Greg, Kev and Enzo had been excited after learning that Ash was in the city of Beasts. This beast was indeed born to lead!
Greg, Kevin and Vincenzo!!!" Ash was also astound to see these guys. It was the least expected thing!!!!
Ray!! Shawn too!!" Greg cried out in shock. eting Ash alone was enough to send them in pure excitent, after all the guy had died! As for Shawn and Ray, they had not had an idea where they were.
You guys know eachother?" Ken asked confused. It was his first ti seeing these beastn.
You...you are really alive!" Enzo was a little emotional. Ash was his good friend and his death dealt a huge blow to him too.
Boy! Co greet this old man!!" Ash’s father was in extre good moods and seeing his son, he wanted to give him a pat on the shoulder to thank him for working hard!
Lilly and her brothers remained silent all the way looking at the fathers eting
