During the next whole day, Billy stopped to search for things underground many tis, but aside from so small ores, he didn't find anything. Those could be worth a few coins, though.
"I guess it is easier to find those in mountainous areas…" Billy thought. "The chance of approaching those places, for the ti being, are small, though. Oh, well, it can't be helped."
"Hey, Billy," Drew suddenly approached and said. "It seems that the elentalists are interested in that thing you did yesterday. Sarah is asking if you can teach them how to do that."
"Who is Sarah?" Billy asked.
"Their leader," Drew replied.
So that was her na… Billy thought he had seen such a na sotis while he was protecting the walls years ago… While he always could see her na using Appraisal, he wasn't interested in getting the na of soone so rude and bloodthirsty.
"Sorry, dad…" Billy said. "This isn't sothing you should be doing since you are our leader and all, but pass this ssage to her: if she wants to ask for a favor, she can co and ask herself. If the others want to learn it, they need to give sothing in exchange. We can trade knowledge for knowledge."
"You really are an insufferable brat," Drew said while laughing and ssing with Billy's head. "All right, I will tell them that."
While he didn't show it, it looked like Drew also disliked the elentalists attitude. So of them still were thinking that they were better than the other tribes and decided to use Drew for that. Since his son once wished to make a good relationship with them, they assud that it would work… they didn't know that Billy was obstinate with things in his own way.
"Are you going to teach them that if they ask normally?" Alexander asked.
"Only if they help learn Fire Manipulation," Billy replied. "I don't know if… no, it is nothing."
Billy almost let out his worries about the possibility of the elentalists revolting one day. They didn't have the strength to do so now, but in the future, they might have, and so of the youngest and most talented of their tribe still looked unsatisfied with the current situation, so it was a possibility. Nevertheless, that wasn't sothing he should tell his friends… They were still kids, after all. They wouldn't be able to hide such worries like him.
While looking around, Billy realized that there were no signs of magic beasts. There was no sign of human activity either… The tall grass was so dense in so areas that it was possible to miss so big ass rocks. To open up a path for the others, the elentalists cut the grass with their wind magic… they were willing to do that but not to ask for his favor.
"What a prideful bunch…" Billy frowned.
In any case, the group moved quite fast thanks to the elentalists opening the path, and on the morning of the third day after they left the town, they arrived at their destination, and they found a massive river that was at least two hundred ters long, and it went from north to south endlessly.
"It is pretty large river," Alexander said.
Billy knew several ones a lot bigger than that, but they were from Earth… in any case, now he could see why Edward wanted the cooperation of the elentalists. To cross sothing that large, they would need a very steady bridge, and the people of the town didn't know how to build them with wood. Earth magic was truly the only solution. Still, considering that the elentalists didn't know how to make a bridge, it might not last for long. When everyone approached, they saw so weird movents on the lake… So big ass fish were there, and they had the ugliest appearance compared to all the others Billy had seen on Earth. Their teeth were quite long and couldn't even stay inside their mouth when it was closed. When a stupid kid approached too much, one of the creatures fired a Water Ball at his stomach and made him fall on the ground, unable to breathe due to the pain for a few seconds.
"The bridge will have to be pretty tall to withstand that level of attack," Billy said.
It would need so pillar as well, but… it wasn't Billy's problem. That being said. Hopefully, Edward had prepared such a thing. In any case, the leaders of the tribes had a eting again while the others were unpacking and preparing their tents. They still had a lot of daylight left, so it was better to start working.
"The redhead archers will try to kill as many of those monsters as possible, and the elentalists will began to make the blocks of earth that will make the pillars," Drew said. "The other tribes will explore the surroundings and confirm that this place is safe, but you will try to recover those fish with your Water Manipulation, Billy."
"Okay, that should be easy," Billy said.
Attaching ropes on the arrows probably would help the redhead archers in recovering their arrows and the monsters. Still, they would need all the piercing power necessary to reach the monsters underwater, so that plan wasn't good. I'm any case, they probably couldn't exterminate all the magic beasts, but that should help.

"For a bunch of monsters, they are quite resistant…" Billy thought while he was heading toward the red archers.
"You are the one who is going to help, huh," Leo said, looking annoyed as usual.
"Yes," Billy said.
"Since you will need to get close to the river to manipulate the water, we will use you to bait the monsters, are you fine with that?" Leo asked.
"No problem," Billy replied.
"If anything, you have got guys, kid," Leo said while frowning.
