God's Eyes (Web Novel)chapter 774: clinging

After witnessing the Sacred Squirrel's behavior and unwavering trust in Jason, the tribe chiefs and the remaining villagers finally believed Jason's warnings about the Oceanfolk army's attack.

Because of that, many things got much easier to accomplish.

In a matter of seconds, every Mewi decided to help build the shelter at the location they had found earlier.

It was a partially hidden place in the depths of the forest, enclosed by large stones that surrounded almost the entire designated place.

That was extremely helpful because it meant that they didn't have to build many walls.

Instead, they could focus on cultivating in order to learn how to properly wield mana once again.

This was one of the biggest hurdles in front of the Mewi owing to the fact that they had been forced to slow down their cultivation and mana utilization for almost an entire century.

Thus, their martial art proficiency had suffered too, while none of them had achieved a great mastery over their Secret techniques, because it was simply impossible.

Now that the surrounding mana was dense and extremely pure, the Mewi could finally start learning the Secret techniques they were unable to learn and use before.

Seeing that the Mewi villagers and tribe chiefs had shed their earlier laziness and were working relentlessly in order to become stronger, Jason couldn't help but feel satisfied.

Before, he had assumed that they would still need a nudge in the correct direction to start working.

However, that didn't seem to be necessary, which was something Jason was glad about because it allowed him to pay more attention to himself.

The only thing Jason and the Mewi knew was the time of their arrival.

Three months was a long time, but for a cultivator, it was akin to a second that would be over in a blink.

After regaining their old combat prowess the Mewi wouldn't be able to increase their cultivation base overnight, and the same applied to everyone else.

Yet, Jason felt that he might be able to achieve something if he were to cultivate close to the mana vein once again.

He had progressed a lot in the two months in which he had been exposed to the released mana of the leaking mana vein.

Now that he had convinced the Mewi to increase their combat prowess and work together, the biggest part of his mission was already solved.

Standing around while observing the Mewi and doing nothing was not something he would, or should do.

Instead, he felt that increasing his combat prowess was essential in order to survive and overcome the Oceanfolk's attack wave!

Because of that, he went to meet up with Brell and Brell's master in order to set up a plan that allowed him to leave shortly before the full silver moon would shine over the valley.

Drastically increasing his combat prowess in three months was difficult, but not impossible, and because he had multiple soulbonds that shared a big percentage of their strength with him, it looked doable.

However, even then, Jason didn't simply leave the Mewi and rush towards the vein.

window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})He first shared some important techniques for them to learn while he was away.

Thus, he transmitted his knowledge about the Floating Sky movement technique as well as the Mythic Essence cultivation technique to Brell and the former tribe chief and asked them to share it with everyone they found suitable.

Under normal circumstances, Jason wouldn't share his techniques with others, but they were in the Dungeon of the Primordial Descendants.

As such, he doubted that anyone would be able to share his secrets with the outside world.

The possibility was close to nil, but not zero.

Thus, he had been reluctant before, but his worries had been for naught because it was much more important to defeat the Oceanfolk once and for all.

They should never set foot again in the villages, and Jason wanted to support the Mewi in achieving this.

Hence, he thought that a powerful cultivation technique should be one way to allow Jason to finish the task he had been given by the trials.

It was also possible to destroy the paths the Oceanfolk had created in order to enter the valley.

However, if they had created the tunnels once, what would prevent them from doing it another time?

With that in mind, Jason felt the need to strengthen the Mewi who were able to cope with the burden and pain of the Mythic Essence technique.

He knew that his task to protect the villages would be solved once the Oceanfolk's army was defeated.

Yet, the moment he wanted to leave behind the Sacred Squirrel, it vehemently rejected any of his requests along with that of Brell and the former tribe chief's to let them pick it up from his palm.

It squeezed its tiny body into Jason's sleeves before moving upwards and settled on his shoulder, and Jason let go of his attempts.

Even if he was not someone who found things cute easily, Jason couldn't help but feel that it was nice to have someone like the little playful beast next to him.

Unfortunately, carrying it around everywhere especially in the artificially created sea of ocean water would be difficult.

Now, he was in a dilemma of how to approach the shelter he had built next to the mana vein with the Sacred Squirrel.

Thinking about it for some time, Jason couldn't help but feel a little bit baffled because not a single attempt from the three of them seemed to work.

That was annoying, but also somewhat interesting because the Sacred Squirrel did not show any signs of leaving him to live in the forest, let alone to stay with the Mewi.

It simply wanted to stay with Jason, whose thoughts began to change slowly.

'If it doesn't want to leave me later, I'll simply bind it to my soul! In that case, it will have to make a decision whether it wants to stay with me or not, and there will be no turning back from that decision!'

In the end, it would be an advantage for him because nobody would really reject binding a beast with four blessings to one's soul.

As long as the binding process went on smoothly, he would be able to actively use the four blessings if he had the necessary energy.

Whether this required blessed energy or not was something Jason didn't know for sure.

However, that was not important right now because he didn't think that binding the Sacred Squirrel to his soul would be helpful right now.

At least, it was not as helpful as allowing it to stay outside his body in order to reassure the Mewi about everything.

If the Mewi were to hear that he would have bound the Sacred Squirrel, who knew what they would think of him.

Maybe they would start questioning every single thing they had seen through the Sacred Squirrel's foretelling blessing?

Jason couldn't be certain that this wouldn't happen.

As such, he had to be careful of every single step he took.

Yet, instead of being reluctant to do certain things, Jason focused on approaching the artificially created sea in which he wanted to start cultivating.

Enveloping himself and the Sacred Squirrel with a dense mana membrane, Jason simultaneously manifested Petri's tail.

Diving into the water, he quickly swam through the water by evading all the marine beasts and reached the mana vein.

This allowed him to reach the shelter close to the mana vein in less than ten minutes.

Given the fact that he had enveloped some oxygen within his mana membrane, the Sacred Squirrel had no issues surviving these ten minutes, even if it had been scared witless to be plunged into the sea.

However, all of that was not a problem anymore as they entered the shelter that had more than enough oxygen left to allow all of them to cultivate.

Thus, he started by summoning Artemis and Solaris, who could make use of the high purity of dense mana that was released from the mana vein.

"Don't eat or burn the squirrel, and focus on cultivating, alright?"
