Chapter 114 Ambush On The Worse Timing.
While the Medusas were rushing for the defence against the uninvited Nagas, something else was happening in the big hollow snake tree.
Dan watched as the man with the ring in the corner.
Suddenly stood up.
He walked towards the wooden bars that was restricting them, and then he paused.
He turned to Dan and Chuckled a bit.
Dan instinctively backed off in reflex, his arms hugging Lady Frostbite\'s stature tightly.
"Don\'t worry lad, the calvry is near!" The man chuckled some more.
As he did, Dan noticed that the frequency at which the ring on his hand flashed increased.
"It\'s pay day!"
The man suddenly slammed the hand with ring on the cage.
~DuuummmmmmMMMMMM~
A loud deafening sound was heard, and then...
...
This news Diana brought the Medusa women was shocking.
It made their zeal to fight weak and their pointed weapons dropped low to the announcement.
Diana might not have been the next preistess but as a daughter of the queen, she was very close to the latest information.
Now that they thought about it, they had seen her run out of the caves in a hurry.
Diana explained that the moment she had seen the scared pool die, she had run to the Nagas.
The reason for this, was because she knew. She knew more than anyone else that the Nagas would their only salvation, and that was why she ran to them.
However, the same calamity that had befallen the Medusas had also visited the Nagas, and it was at the same time.
Without a doubt, it had something to do with that old man that had entered their sacred pool.
The man that used celestial energy that was thought to be their savior had doomed them all.
This was indeed terrible news.
"Let us pass," Amanda demanded, "We shall take this human from your incompetent hands and torture him until he gives is back our Sacred pool."
The Medusa commander in front thought of this. Her weapon went down a bit.
However, it went back up. Even if it was true, it would mean that she was allowing the most hated enemy of the Medusa tribe into their lands.
She raised her spear once more, "I suggest a conversation with the Queen. She would know what to..."
*BOOM!!!*
A loud explosion that came from within the Medusa tribe was heard.
Everybody looked in that direction, there was smoke and fire.
The Medusa commander immediately, raised her weapon at Amanda, "how dare you attack us from our tails!?"
"That wasn\'t us."
Just then loud screams were heard.
"Black Axe guild ATTACK! Show this medusas that we own the Snake Forest!" Axe blade screamed.
Men on horse soul beasts, Rhino soul beasts rushed at the Medusas and Nagas.
Diana looked around, "it\'s POACHERS....It\'s an ambush!!!"
An axe came right for the head of an unsuspecting Naga, slicing it off like it was a piece of pie for the taking.
Blood shut into the air.
This was an ambush.
The Black axe guild had attacked with the intention of destroying these tribes.
"It\'s a two for one Boys! Enjoy it well," Stoneface laughed wildly as he rode on his Rhino. His double Axe waved in the air as he attacks took the Nagas by surprise.
Neither the Nagas nor the Medusas were new to attacks from Poachers.
It was always the one time in their lives when they agreed and banded together.
The Black Axe guild was attacking.
The Black Axe guild usually conducted raids on the snake tribes.
Most times, they would take one or two of them to be sold to noble men with exotic fantasies.
After all, Medusas were very beautiful, and their humanoid features made for an exciting sexual experience.
Immediately, the Medusas and the Nagas attacked.
This was a fierce fight.
The Medusas and the Nagas activated their bloodline abilities.
This was the famous petrification ability that had turn men to stone.
But these poachers came prepared.
Many of them had on special goggles that negated the effect of the women\'s attacks.
Arrows were shot and Spears were thrown.
These weapons had been bathed with their celestial energy and had speeds through the air like bullets.
~whistle~
Their sharp tips speeding through the air for their targets.
*Da da da da!*
Some arrows and spears made it to the chests of the Poachers, piercing them to the ground or the back of their mounts.
A spear came for Black Axe, but he deflected it with his axe like it was nothing.
His stare on his price was firm.
He aimed his weapon for Amanda\'s neck.
*Wush!*
She manage to lean out and dodge the attack.
However, the attack managed to graze her a bit.
She looked at her arm. There was a little injury there.
"How dare you!?" She activated her Celestial energy as she rushed for him.
*Boom!*
Amanda was of a lower cultivation than Axe Blade, but she used celestial energy which made for a lot of her short comings.
The only problem was that unlike Axe blade, she did not have a fighting technique apart from the Bloodline technique that was unique to the snake tribes.
She used her tail against his legs whipping him to the ground.
However, before her next attack could hit, he moved out of the way, and blocked her spear with his Axe.
*Dang!*
"Hahahaha!!! Axe blade chuckled a bit, not bad Queen Amanda, but we both know I always win our bouts."
He threw a kick her way that got her right in the face.
She flew distance back. However she immediately got off the ground.
It was true that Amanda knew Axe blade well.
This was not the first time that they had fought one another.
She knew that once she remained on the ground for too long, then that was it. His Axe would be coming for her.
She moved just in time.
Axe blade activated his technique. And his weapon increased in size.
He threw it for her head.
"Shit!" She cursed.
Aside Amanda, Diana too was not having it easy.
Her fight was with Stone face.
Stone face was a double blade fighter. His Axes were welded on both arms and they were unforgiving in their wild assault.
Fortunately, Diana was not any less weak handed.
Fights happened on all sides.
Suddenly, Stone face kicked Diana\'s side. She rolled on the ground a bit.
He laughed at her as he rushed after her, "don\'t worry sweet heart. This time around, we plan to take all of you!" He laughed wildly, "Lit up the Candle!!!"
As soon as he talked, a poacher waved his hands in air.
*Flame of eternal burn!*
eaglesnovɐ1,сoМ ~Whoosh~
Fire rushed out of his hands as it did, it burnt the forest all around them.
Just then, Diana noticed that more screams were coming from the Medusa home.
She frowned tightly. Something was not right.
This attack was from both within and outside.
She could see that there was also fire raging back home.
And she was right.
At the moment, the cave that held the prisoners had been blown out.
The prisoners ran out of the caves in different directions.
The Medusa guards rushed for the prisoners.
But the man that had blown it open activated his soul energy, firing a blast of it at the Medusas.
He stepped forward, "Hahaha!!!" He had a crazied expression on his face as he breathed in and out sharply, "yes! The screams of the night have began. The hunt has began."
Dan noticed that many of the Prisoners he had seen with a sour face in the cage now had crazy expressions on their faces as they ran amock attacking Medusas.
Of course many of the Medusas attacked back.
Some were turned to stone, but a lot of them were just too fast with their movements. Dodging fast and attacking ferociously.
The entire place had suddenly become chaotic.
Poachers subdued some Medusas, tying their arms together as they knocked them out.
Even the little Medusas were not spared. They were captured and thrown into bags.
Some were captured with large nets. Blow darts were shot into their bodies to knock them out.
This was an obviously well planned attack.
It was wide scaled and the attack came from both within and outside.
Whoever came up with this plan had thought well about it.
They allowed the Medusas capture some of them, taking them deep into their territory.
This made for an easy two way attack both within and externally, resulting in chaos.
Dan looked around the place.
His arms were still wrapped tightly around the stature of Lady frostbite.
His granddad had given him one task and that was what he was doing.
However, he really hoped that Eros would arrive fast.
Things had escalated to an incredible level.
Meanwhile, Axe Blade and Amanda had reached a particular climax in their fight.
She was beaten badly and bloody.
She was at her witts end.
The worse part was the fact that she was running low on Celestial energy and without the Sacred pool, she couldn\'t recharge.
This was not just a threat to her fighting prowess, but also to her life.
