Corvo kept his promise and hunted all sorts of creatures and brought back a few fruits and materials for Adam to eat.
With in a week Adam had healed up well and broke through rank 1.
How's it feel ? Rank 1 is a good start in getting stronger.
Yea! Adam jumped up and down he was very happy. I'm no longer the weak me!
His beak became darker purple while his body became a mint green color. He was an odd duck err Platypus for sure. Corvo thought.
One more Rank to go Adam.
We will need to change locations the monsters over here are too limited and it's not a good idea to over hunt in an area.
Sure! He said enthusiastically. Adam felt confident with his new found strength.
Corvo used his cloudy crow bloodline to make himself light and "Nested" on Adam's head.
Let's head further north and let's see if we can find more poisonous plants or venomous creatures so that we can further develop your core.
Hey hey! Keep an eye out, study your surroundings, listen,look,smell so what ever it is you can to make sure your safe. I won't be with you forever Adam we will part ways soon and my goal is the make sure you have the tools you need to survive.
Adam felt sad that they weren't going to be spending lots of time together but he had also felt warm I side. He heard Corvos concerns and felt his kindness in his teachings. Even if they were destined to part ways he definitely wanted to teach him how to survive and live until they met again.
Adam doubled his focus and started to pay even more attention to his surroundings. At first he didn't notice much but with Corvos patient teaching he had become more aware of his surroundings.
He learned to listen to his surroundings noticing bugs and other creatures near by that he wouldn't have noticed before. He smelled the air every so often and noticed things like creatures, flowers, fruits that would have gone unnoticed.
Corvo had even taught him that he should be 500 percent more cautious of he ever encountered a treasure fruit or herb. That these things were usually guarded by creatures that were either strong ,or very good at hiding and possibly using the treasure to lure others in as bait to hunt them.
This world is very dangerous and you should never underestimate the dangers that it can have. If you ever feel like something is too good to be true it most likely is and you should avoid it. There are many creatures that cast illusions and many arrays that can confuse you into seeing something your heart really wants.
Corvo looked up and sighed. You might even see your master and you could get lost in an illusion of happiness.
Adam slowly understood what Corvo said and was shocked about how wild and ruthless the cultivation world could be.
How do I live my life when there's so much danger? Adam spoke his thoughts out loud.
It's easy Corvo responded. First get stronger enough that people won't mess with you. Then you can be kind. Kindness without strength will only get you bullied.
I still think that you should focus on the cooking path but you need to learn cultivation techniques to hide your actual level and demonic beast nature.
Humans can be superstitious and they might think you have hidden plans to harm them. If you can find sect that has a good reputation with demonics beasts you could join them and have a good backing.
Do you really think it could work? Adam asked.
I do. The cultivation world has many things and people. You should always err on the side of caution tho. The sect where we are could change a bit and might accept demonic beasts as people if the beats could transform into humans or at least have a humanoid shape. People feel comfortable around familiar things. Corvo spoke confidantly.
Do you think that I could join the sect as a chef?
Corvo looked at him and said maybe? Can you even cook well enough that humans won't get sick? We beasts have stronger stomachs so we can digest raw food but humans are more sensitive.Corvo cautioned him.
I can with enough practice! Adam spoke confidantly.
We shall see. Let's find a cave to camp out. I'll go find an elder after we find safety.
After an hour or flying Corvo found a cave system that looked safe enough for Adam to hide out while he went and looked for an elder. He flew back to Adam and landed on his head and led him towards the cave.
I'll be back. Do your best to hide and not attract attention. Dig a hole and hide if you have to. I'll be back as fast as I can.
Okkkk. Adam stuttered. He was definitely nervous.
Hurry back please! He mustered out.
Haha Corvo couldn't help but laugh. I'll be fast but it will take some time. Just be brave.
Adam looked at Corvo and said ok full of nervousness.
Corvo looked at Adam and shook his head and flew off towards the sect.
Adam now all alone panicked and took deep breaths and decided to focus on digging a hole to hide in.
Corvo managed to make it to the sect entrance and contacted Elder lucy to explain his situation.
She agreed and flew off with Corvo to find this Adam.
With Elder Lucy in tow he couldn't help to think to himself about how good a deed he had done.
