Chapter 280 Resha’s Rival


    "You''remitting a grave mistake," Ralralmented once she got up, relenting after resisting a little and failing to budge her body. "The Cooter n will avenge me."


    "Woah, hold that thought." In waved in a flurry, "Why are you ming me? I''m the victim here."


    He sported a pitiful expression, "I came here to trade legally. I offered a valuable mineral in exchange for your medicines. It was a good business opportunity. But what did you do in response?"


    "You tried to kill me." He inched towards her face and red in disdain, "Is this how the Cooter n treats its guests? Pretty disgusting, don''t you think?"


    "You…!" Ralral failed toe up with a retort, at a loss for words. Hence, she stuck to her default threat, "You''ll regret this."


    "Nope, I''ll be damn fine, thank you very much." In stated rxedly, "But I''m curious though."


    He stared at her in confusion, "Why did you try to kill us? Was it that much of a loss to trade a few medicine vials? Even if you''re gaining more in return?"


    "Hmph!" Ralral snorted, "The Cooter n doesn''tck anything. We''re the strongest and richest force on Sumatra. Our n is united to the extreme and will avenge the deaths of even our weakest."


    "You sure about that?" In tilted his head, "Hasn''t the Boar Killed two of your Deities? Have you avenged their deaths? Oh, let me guess…"


    "You didn''t," In snorted, "The Boar King is alive and kicking."


    "You…bastard!" Ralral red daggers, "Don''t you dare mention it!"


    "Oh, I will, with exceptional rity," In approached her ear and spoke unnecessarily loud, "The Boar King killed and devoured two Empyrean Snappers, the Cooter n''s Deity of worship. Forget killing him, I have never heard about your n even intending to face him."


    "Let me guess," He said, covering his ears upon hearing Ralral scream like a maddened lunatic, "The Cooter n is afraid to fight the Boar King."


    "What a bunch of cowards."


    "I''ll kill you! Fucking bastard! Don''t you darement about my n like that!" Ralral roared, "Fucking ves born on a damned Tusk…"


    "You can shut up now," Ralral was unable to speak as suddenly, the expressions of both In and Asaeya hardened, exuding bloodlust as they grabbed her head and applied pressure, preventing her from speaking anymore.


    "Why are you wasting time talking to her, In." Asaeya raged, "Just be done with her already."


    "I wanted to hear her thoughts," In said and sighed, calming down as he stared at Ralral, "From her words, I can understand that even though the Cooter n wishes to kill the Boar King, they''re afraid of losing even more Empyrean Snappers if they were to face him."


    "I hoped to rope them in our fight against the Boar King. But it seems that would be harder than I had thought." In shook his head and seeped Prana into Ralral, activating his Empyrean Extraction Prime Skill.


    Unable to utter any words of struggle, Ralral breathed herst. A group of Empyrean Zinger Scouts ganged upon her and removed her skull, giving it to In after cleaning it neatly.


    Prime Skill—Mind Slip!


    In essed Ralral''s data and focused on the information rted to the Cooter n''s mining arrangements. Since the Empyrean Snappers requiredrge volumes of mineral ores for consumption, as that was their food, the Cooter n had raided many Human Kingdoms in the past.


    The captured Free Humans were brought and distributed across the inds on the Dralh Sea, forcing them to mine. Moreover, they brainwashed the Free Humans into worshipping the Empyrean Snappers, treating the Cooter nsmen as immortals.


    The Free Humans mined for mineral ores throughout their lives. Moreover, the Cooter n attached an Ewworm to each of them, making it easy to control them.


    Medicines would be fed to the Free Humans at regr intervals, influencing the Ewworms acting as their tails. This influence made the Ewworms attached to the respective ind they were upon, hence making them unwilling to leave its premises.


    As a result, the Ewworms wouldn''t wish to leave the ind, even if an opportunity persists. They would stubbornly resist to move out. Because of them, the Free Humans had no choice but to remain stuck on the ind for the rest of their lives.


    They no longer knew anything about the outside world, having been living on the same ind for generations. And in the likelihood of them getting wiped out by Pranic Beasts, the Cooter n would bring in a new batch of Free Humans.


    They were nurturing a massive Free Human poption on arge ind at a different sea. In this manner, the Cooter n received arge batch of mineral ores to feed their respective Empyrean Snappers.


    And as the Empyrean Snappers consumed the mineral ores, Spirit Pools formed on their bodies ordingly, granting strength to the Cooter nsmen at the Body Stage.


    A ship arrived at an ind every three months to collect the mined mineral ores. At that time, there would also be a personnel shift.


    At Leh Ind, there were eight Cooter nsmen, with Ralral acting as their leader. Depending on the size of the ind, the number of Cooter nsmen dispatched there would vary.


    After their tenure of three months, when the ship arrives to collect the mined ores, Ralral and her group would board the ship to return to the Cooter n. Another group would take their ce to guard and manage Leh Ind.


    After returning to the Cooter n, Ralral and her group would focus on building their strength for the next three months. Following that, they would be dispatched to guard another ind. The Cooter n operated in three-month intervals, moving resources and personnel at every interval.


    It had only been four days since Ralral took charge of Leh Ind. So, it would take a while before the ship arrives to collect the resources. That gave In a period of eighty-six days where he could control Leh Ind and make preparations.


    He surfed through the data and looked into the personnel that had been transported to various inds. Massive ships were moving across the Dralh Sea, with each ship in charge of moving personnel and resources for dozens of inds.


    Since the Cooter n disliked using anything from the Mammoth n, they neither possessed a Storage Lantern nor advertised the use of one. Instead, they focused on their ship technology and were capable of building massive ships on the levels of Earth''s aircraft carriers.


    Possessing Silver Grade strength meant Ralral was higher up the Cooter n''sdder. Hence, she would have mingled among the talented elites of her n while travelling through the ship. With high expectations, In looked through the data of the personnel that travelled alongside Ralral, bing giddy with joy, ''I was hoping for this ever since I decided toe to the Dralh Sea. As I expected, he''s here!''


    His hands trembled in excitement, barely able to control himself as the expression of greed shed on his face, staring at the image of a certain individual in Ralral''s data, "Haa! Hahaha!"


    He hugged Gann in excitement, "We''re getting closer and closer towards your goal."


    The individual he was aiming for was someone who made a short appearance in Sumatra Chronicles, almost like a cameo. In that short appearance, he fought against Resha to a tie. This was the sole individual depicted in Sumatra Chronicles as someone on par with the overpowered Resha.


    Had the events with the Boar King not been impossibly far away from the Cooter n''s territory, he would have be Resha''s greatest rival and yed a greater role in Sumatra Chronicles.


    Cooter nsman—Wittral!
