Strings Of Domination
Chapter 78 - Suspicious Riverfall
Amy tightened her arms around Nash's neck in fear if she does not then she will get blown away from Nash's hold, falling right into her inevitable demise.
"We are all gonna die!" screaming those words with teary eyes, Amy was ready to shut her eyes tight and bury her head into Nash's chest when she saw something that made her pretty eyes widen with shock!
Whoosh!
A pair of wings with a span of a meter and a half emerged from Nash's back, extending behind him like wings akin to those of an angel! However, in contrast to an angel that had white wings with feathers as soft as silk, the wings behind Nash were pitch black in color while the feathers on it shone with a somewhat metallic luster!
They looked extremely intimidating and sharp!
"S-Sky Beast wings? But how?" Amy shifted her silver eyes from the wings at Nash, who looked at her with a calm smile which for some reason made her think he looked twice as charming as before.
"Just bear with it for a little while longer." ignoring Amy's question, Nash glanced down at the falling Souls below him, and with a powerful flap with his wings, he flew toward the ground.
Whoosh!
In just a few seconds Nash finally reached solid ground and gently placed Amy down onto her feet before looking up and saying, "Wait here for a second."
Whoosh!
With a powerful flap, Nash flew high up into the sky and with professional precision flew before each Soul and took out the crates from their hold.
Although he knew his Souls were literally immortal and would have no problem even after falling from such great heights, the crates in their hold were not; they would literally get broken into hundreds of pieces together with the Souls' bodies!
Hence, using his Sky Wings, he quickly collected and brought the crates down to the ground safely and unsummoned his Souls to avoid losing his essence. Furthermore, despite the fact that his Souls were immortal and could regenerate in seconds, he still wished not to watch them dying for no apparent reason.
'I definitely need to find a storage ring now that I have given mine to my uncle.' Nash thought in his heart once all the crates had been safely placed onto the ground and raised his head.
Nash watched as the spaceship moved further and further away from them while also descending with the obvious intention of landing, Nash lowered his gaze and looked around.
Currently, they were standing in the middle of a bamboo forest which at the same time was not a bamboo forest. The bamboos were thin and long just like a bamboo should be, but their color was not green but yellow while their surface was half transparent and shiny, almost as if they were carved out of yellow crystals!
"Caryrpid Bamboos. They say a single Caryrpid Bamboo can be sold for an astronomical price as they are extremely essential to create powerful potions and pills! Yet there are thousands of them here!" Nash said with shining eyes, feeling a little greedy to go and collect some for himself.
But before he could have gone and collected some, he was abruptly stopped by Amy who looked at him with an indifferent face while shaking her head.
"It is not a wise choice and you know it yourself too."
Nash pulled his hand back upon hearing those words and after a brief pondering, he sighed and nodded, "You are right. Although Caryrpid Bamboo is rare, it cannot be sold just by ordinary means. One needs proof of where they acquired it and the qualification to even sell it."
Amy nodded and after crossing her arms below her perfect bosom, she added, "Furthermore, if we decide to take some with us, we will only leave behind evidence that we were here. Then, it will be a matter of time before they find us."
"You are right, I didn't think that far ahead." Nash sighed, but suddenly an idea flashed in his head and said, "Wait a second. I had a great idea."
Amy raised her delicate brow in confusion, but when she saw how Nash flapped his wings and disappeared into the distance, only to appear a few seconds later with a bunch of Caryrpid Bamboo in his embrace she almost coughed up blood.
"I know what you are thinking, but don't worry, I know what I am doing." Nash just smiled upon seeing Amy's ice-cold glare on his skin and quickly tossed the crystal bamboos into one of the crates.
"Let's go. It is better if we don't linger here any longer. Let's find a place where we can hide." Nash said calmly and after summoning his souls and ordering them to carry the crates he began to walk away, surprisingly to the complete opposite direction from where he has brought the crystal bamboos.

Several tens of miles away from the location where Nash and Amy landed, a spaceship was visible on top of a yellow mountain top with a single individual standing in front of it, looking into the distance with a tranquil look.
This single individual was none other but Alina, the goddess from the Fairy Race.
As Alina was zooming into the distance, watching the golden scenery in front of her with a motionless figure, a male with otherworldly features emerged from the spaceship with two Thousand Blood following him from behind.
His name was Mitah, and just like Alina, he too was a fairy who although was not as strong as her, was proud of himself as he was at the peak of the Warrior Rank, only half a step away from reaching the Warmaster Rank!
"What did you find?" Alina turned around when he felt the presence behind her, and looked at the face of Mitah who was considered handsome even among fairies who were born with a flawless appearance.
"We have searched everything, and strangely, we have found nothing except smaller damages around the ship," Mitah explained with an indifferent face, his golden eyes that flickered like suns staring right into Alina's silver eyes.
"Nothing?" Alina knitted her delicate brows together, showing a troubled expression as she pondered. But soon, her complexion brightened and a small smile appeared on her pretty face.
"Lady Alina, did you perhaps figure out something?" Mitah asked calmly when he saw Alina's smile, feeling rather curious.
"Well, kinda." Alina nodded and asked, "Did you check if the auto-landing system was active or not?"
Mitha raised a brow and glanced at the Thousand Blood behind him, who quickly nodded as a response.
"It seems it was. But why is that important?" Mitha asked, still confused.
"Because it seems whoever was on that spaceship anticipated we would wait for them here and decided to use the spaceship as a decoy. They must have jumped out when they were still high in the air." Alina proceeded to explain with her smile still on her face and quickly waved her hand, "Go and gather a squad. Those two must be in close proximity."
"Understood." Mitha nodded and without wasting even a single second he ordered the Thousand Bloods behind him to follow him and dashed into the distance.
As for Alina, she remained before the spaceship, her eyes focusing on the scenery in the distance, her small lips curving into an amused smile.
"Interesting..."

After landing inside the Caryrpid Bamboo Forest and deciding to find a place where they can hide for the time being, Nash and Amy walked through different landscapes, and after close to an hour of straight walking without rest, they finally arrived before this small pond which had a small hill on its side from where the river fell from above.
"Let's take a rest here," Nash said as he looked around, finding the place rather safe as it was at least twenty miles away from the closest mining section he saw when he looked around from above.
Amy nodded and sat down to recover her strength. As for Nash, he ordered his Souls to put the crates down and look out for any trouble that may lurk around them before deciding to check out the crates in greater detail.
However, just as he was about to open the lid of the box on his side, his eyes narrowed into a slit and shifted toward the river fall while deciding to get a closer look.
Luckily, the pond was only a little bit more than a meter deep, hence he was able to step into the pond and reach the waterfall without getting submerged completely.
Amy seemed to notice Nash's strange behavior and wanted to say something, but when she saw how serious Nash looked and how a few of his Souls began to surround the river fall from all directions, she decided to swallow the words she wished to say next and remain silent.
Nash reached the river fall and stood before it with an indifferent face, his sharp eyes hoping to pierce through the wall of water.
'Maybe I have just seen things?' Nash thought when he extended his arms, only to feel that behind the waterfall there was nothing but solid surface, seemingly being the side of the mountain.
"Hmm..." humming quietly with a small frown, Nash give a final glance at the waterfall and was about to turn around when suddenly a flash appeared from slightly above him, forcing his eyes to widen from shock.
It was a silver arrow that appeared all of a sudden from behind the waterfall, only an inch away from piercing his right eyes and piercing his brain!
