nSam and Arman walked towards the city. Sam didn't even use Harbinger because of the unwanted attention he might get if he hovered.

nBut as he looked at the beautiful grasslands around him, he couldn't help but look to enjoy the beauty of it. It is far too fascinating. He didn't see a single place like this in the western continent or any other continent for that matter.

nMaybe he didn't venture into the central continent, where he might be able to get a view like this.

nA part of him even wanted to stay there quietly and enjoy the view.

nHe looked at the son which he didn't expect to be present. From the Hindu mythology, there is no sun in Naga Loka. The realm was actually part of the underworld.

nThis made Sam realize one more time, that he needs to take the knowledge he got from the previous life with a pinch of salt.

nAfter half-a-day of movement, they are entering an area that has too much grass and it is too tall that it is obstructing their movement. It almost reached their hips and Arman could feel the sting as it touched his skin. He couldn't help but take circulate the elemental energy so much that the lightning cracked around him and the grass charred black before it could touch him.

nAfter some time, Sam removed the goggles part from Arman's breathing device. So that Arman could get used to the atmosphere slowly. It is not a good option to let him be like this. Otherwise, he would be way too eye-catching with this device over him.

nAs they walked and continued their journey, they finally encountered some beasts. The first beast they encountered is a Zebra. At least that is what it looked like. Because there are no white stripes instead they have purple stripes all over.

nSam looked at the beast intently and identified in a few seconds. The Purple Flame Zebra. This beast is actually a flame attribute beast and it is extremely suitable for being a steed.

nThe flames of this beast are purple in color which attributes to its name and it has high immunity to poison. The special attribute of the purple flame is that it can detoxify some plant-based poisons. Some pill masters use the flames of the beasts when they make pills with herbs that contain some toxic substances.

nSam does know that they would appear in higher realms, but he didn't expect them to be in Naga Loka.

nIn the Beasitary, not every beast has details regarding their origin place, only some of the important and extremely special species that are almost impossible to find in any other realm other than a specific realm are the ones that have these details mentioned.

nThis Purple Flame horse is neither the rarest of all nor is it of an extremely superior bloodline. But he didn't expect that they would appear in Naga Loka.

nAs he and Arman are looking at the beast which seemed to be of a Level-5 beast equivalent to a Grand realm cultivator which any of them could easily take care of, they noticed another detail on the Zebra's back.

nThere is a saddle on its back, which means that it is someone else's steed.

nThis makes things complicated.

nThey didn't want to be spotted by someone that early. They wanted to camp secretly in the vicinities of the city so that they could understand the situation better and plan what to do in the future.

nAs they are thinking, whether to kill the beast or just avoid it, they sensed someone coming from afar. They immediately ran towards a nearby tree to hide.

nSam took out a concealment formation disc and activated it. A few moments later a few people came to this place. They all rode the Purple Flame Zebras and one of the Zebras is carrying two people.

nThey all wore the same clothes with a crest embroidered on their chests.

nThey seemed to be part of some troops. Sam and Arman are not surprised by any of it though. The most surprising thing is that they looked human and even their auras are of humans. They are only Grand realm cultivators of late-stage, so they couldn't find Sam and Arman, but both of them could really sense their auras from there.

nSam started circulating his spiritual energy and his eyes started glowing with golden flames. This is the Pseudo Golden gaze- Fiery eyes.

nHe practiced this technique in these past few months. Even though he didn't master it perfectly, it is mostly for supporting him and the main function of this is to see through illusions and at the same time see through the energy flows.

nSam felt that these people are indeed human, but there seemed to be something different in their bodies. The people took control of the Zebra and they once again and moved towards the city.

nSam and Arman looked at each other and decided to follow them.

nThere are many unique futures to these humans, they have faint green skin with some purple hue. It is almost like they tried to have body paint on them. As they moved closer and closer to the city, they noticed that the group is trying to hunt the beasts on the grass plains, they hunted some types of small animals like rabbits and such. After more than a day, they finally noticed some more activity.

nThere are many humans just like them who are trying to hunt the beasts and all of them seemed to be competing, the group Sam is following has come into conflict with many of them in a single day. Most of them were resolved just from sharing the rewards, but some of them broke into fights.

nAs they went nearer and nearer to the city, it has become hard to hide their presence. There are just too many people in the vicinity and too few trees.

nSoon, they arrived at a place that almost took their breath away. They could see the city more clearly from this range and the whole city is made of purple stone. There are different shades of purple and green used to make the city.

nEven though it looked weird but it was still beautiful in its own right. The city is surrounded by a large patch of plants that have purple flowers. The combination of this green and purple is actually making it quite suitable for the city.

nThey marveled at the beauty and didn't notice that someone is coming in their direction immediately. They came to their senses only after they heard someone talking.

n

"Squad four. Gather at the city gate. Young Master will be coming soon.

"

nSam and Arman ducked immediately and tried their best to conceal themselves.

nThey saw a tall and lean man walking towards the group.

nBut one look and they understood he is not a human. Because he doesn't have normal skin. He has small and faint purple scales all over his body and his eyes are of that of the snake. Green with dark pupils like a reptile. Even though he is lean, he is still muscular and he dressed extremely elegantly in Bronze robes with a cloth turban on his head and long hair braided back.

nEven his tongue is split revealing the fact that he is a guy from the Naga race.

nHe is approximately seven feet tall towering over the human troops and his hands are so long they almost reached his knees.

nHis turban is Bronze in color with elegant stones embedded on it. Even though he is not human and each of his features like the scaly skin and the reptile eyes and the split tongue might seem like something unnerving and give creeps to someone. But when all of them were put together and made into this one guy, he seemed to have been made perfect, they fit in as if they were supposed to be made that way.

nWhen the group of Grand realm cultivators heard those words, they came down from the Purple Flame Zebras and started walking towards the city along with them.

nAt this moment, Sam and Arman slowly crawled over following them from afar.

nIf all they had to do is just see, Sam would have done so, but he needs to listen to them to have more information as the title young master means, they could get into contact with some big shot.

nAs they ducked and waited in the purple flower bed, all the groups gathered and came towards the city entrance, and soon they could see a Palanquin coming from inside the city. Four humans whose skin is fair and clean and only has an extremely faint green hue are carrying the palanquin and it is followed by a Naga race man with purple scales that has a darker shade of purple than the person they saw earlier.

nThis man seemed more aged and he wore black clothes and a black turban.

nThe palanquin halted and the four humans kneeled down so that they could bring the palanquin to a height where the person inside wouldn't be troubled to get down.

nAfter that, a young Naga race man came down wearing golden robes and a golden turban as he looked at the groups of people condescendingly.

nHis whole bearing is screaming of arrogance and his scales are an even darker shade of purple than the black-robed man and he has a faint golden hue on his scales.

nThe old man in black came to his side and stood there benevolently.

n

"Okay, your test is over. Show me your spoils. You might get a chance to be my personal servants if I am happy with that.

"

nWhen he said that, the groups of people started pouring out the beasts they hunted in front of them. There are too many and soon there are heaps of dead bodies that are still warm with blood in front of them.

nThe young master looked around and checked the loot as he examined them.

n
