Heavenly Samsara: Chapter 141

…

They now knew that the man before them is someone who is able to kill the giant snake that is supposed to be living in this cave. As awakened hunters, they knew of the snake and also those that are living in these parts of the woods.

The giant snake is one of the overlords of this place, so how could they not know how it lorded over this land for a while?

But it actually died in the hands of the youth before them. That notion is really something they did not expect to discover.

But at least this time, they knew that they would be safe in this place for a while.

So they decided to tell the youth named Xin Ja what they know about this place.

"I am Samantha Walters…" amidst the conversation, Xin Ja got to know the background and name of the young woman that the group is protecting.

She is the daughter of their boss from the Walters family, a big family with many awakened in their ranks.

According to what Xin Ja could deduce, it seems that the Walters Family is a huge family of great influence, but he could not judge it only from the words of these people. So, he decides to just listen to them for a while.

After knowing each other and talking, the people began to be at ease with each other and shared a meal.

The group then takes out some of their food and began to nibble on the dried ration. When Xin Ja saw this, he could not help but feel curious about what they are eating.

Sensing his curiosity one of the men gave him a piece of dried meat.

"Bacon?" he asked.

"Yes… Someone spread how it is possible to eat the meat of demonized beasts. So we began hunting them for food. Nowadays, an awakened would be able to earn big money once they are able to take home a demonized beast…" the guy explained.

Xin Ja was a bit taken aback that they are finally able to learn on how the demonized beast can be a source of food.

With a smile on his face, he nodded to the guy and tasted the dried meat.

The meat is chewy and is able to satiate one's craving for food. Even though it is only a small piece he can already feel a small amount of Ki from the beast meat coming to his body.

"So they are able to purify the Ki in the demonized beast's body… I wonder what the process is..." Xin Ja curiously thought as he finish the piece of meat.

While eating, they began to chat with each other.

"Mister Summers… how did you come to this place without knowing… anything about this place?" someone suddenly asked.

But the group senses that his question is not appropriate so they glared at the guy.

Seeing this Xin Ja could not help but smile. He did not want to tell any lie for now, but he also did not want these people to think that he is that easy to trick, so he decided to tell them half of the truth.

"Hmm… A complicated question… In truth, I found myself in this cave when I woke up and could not remember anything before that." He said with a frown.

When they heard his words, they were all dumbstruck.

"Then… then… how did you kill the giant snake?" someone suddenly asked.

"It attacked me, and I fought back…"

Everyone was once again dumbstruck at the simple answer.

Xin Ja did not know whether to laugh or cry at the faces of the people around him. They have dumbfounded and doubtful looks in their eyes as if trying to ascertain that what he is saying is the truth.

Because no matter how they look at him, he just looks ordinary and they could not see or feel the pressure or the strength of a powerful awakened brimming from his body.

"It seems that you guys don't believe me…" Xin Ja said with a frown.

When his expression changes into a frown… the men around him suddenly panic.

They did not dare make this guy angry. Although they showed disbelief in their eyes, they still could not help but believe in his words because no matter what, they are still staying in the lair of the feared giant snake.

…

A day has passed and the people still waited inside the cave.

This time, they could not go out because of the powerful snowstorm happening outside the cave.

The winds are too strong and the temperature is far too cold than usual. No one dares to go out and weather the cold and strong wind which they could tell from their experience is very deadly.

As they got seated on the ground while walking with each other, they were interrupted by one of the men who were assigned to be the lookout.

"Guys! I think we're in trouble!" shouted the lookout as he called out to the group.

Everyone looks at him with an alarmed expression. They all walked to the entrance of the cave and gathered to look outside.

From where they are standing they all could see three tall shadows walking in the direction of the cave.

They could clearly tell that those shadows belong to snow trolls.

"They are back… And now there are three of them. How can we survive this?" one of the guards said with a shaking voice.

"We will fight this to the death with them… no matter what, they will still hunt us and kill us." the man who seems to be their leader said with a serious expression.

Everyone knew that what he is saying is the truth. It is said that they might be able to escape a single snow troll, but once a group is unto you, even with ten men, you will not be able to escape them.

That is why the best location to be in right now is the village.

But the village is too far from their location.  So they have no choice but to fight with the snow trolls or die trying.

While the shadows are getting closer and the group is discussing what to do. Xin Ja has already walked to the side of the entrance.

He carefully takes out his MCAW and then scanned the three snow trolls coming right at them.

With a single scan, he could already tell the strength of the trolls according to the black Ki coming out of their bodies.

"Two Ki-Masters and one Ki-Champion…" he muttered then takes two bolts from the cartridge and loaded them manually into the MCAW.

He then began to insert his own Ki in the bolts and the pressure gauge of the weapon. He soon was able to reach the maximum stress that the material could take as they absorb the Ki he inputs in them.

Then he checks the strong air and calculated the right path to hitting his target.

After doing the calculations, Xin Ja could now see a path presented in his sight.

"Let's see if they are stronger than the others…" he muttered as he squeezes the trigger.

Ptaff! Ptaff!

Two muffled sounds echoed inside the cave which startled the men who are standing by the entrance of the cave.

They have already taken out their weapons and are ready for battle. However, they were startled to hear the muffled sound coming from their side.

Out of all of them, Samantha Walters is the only one who was not surprised. She just looks at Xin Ja and his calmness. She knew that the guy is not that simple and his calmness made her feel confident.

At this time, the two snow trolls following behind the bigger one suddenly stopped moving, and then they both fell to the ground.

The one leading them was suddenly alarmed as it heard the swooshing sound amidst the strong air around them.

And before it knew it, its two companions are already on the ground.

It carefully walked toward them and then kicked them trying to make them stand up.

It was suddenly annoyed as it did not know what had happened.

It vigilantly looks around but found nothing. All it could see, feel, and hear are the strong gales around it.

Roar!

It growled as it smashes its large fists on the ground creating a huge tremor and powerful explosion that sent everything around it flying.

The trees and rocks within 20 meters in its diameter were shattered into bits and pieces.

At this time, another bolt was sent flying but the snow troll actually lifted its hand and caught the bolt.

A feeling of smugness could be seen in its eyes while looking in the direction where the bolt came from. But of course, since the wind is very strong, it is actually looking in the wrong direction.

It suddenly dug into the ground and grabbed a large piece of stone. Then without hesitation, it threw the stone in the direction of where the bolt came from.

Xin Ja showed a smirk on his face as he did not hesitate to squeeze a few shots of the MCAW which directly hit the body of the snow troll.

The pain felt in its body made the snow troll enrage. It did not expect to be ambushed and humiliated in such a cowardly way.
