The Strongest Beast Tamer 69 Back to the Island

The island condition was unchanged, the large trees extending into the sky providing a large amount of shade. They could see the centre tree from the sea, Lachlan felt excited as they discovered a way to get there easily.

The kids and Flynn were in awe at the island. Flynn was the only one that knew a bit about the island since his wife told him everything before she left. They didn't mention anything about the large centre tree.

Lachlan brought out the high ranked gravity stone and activated its fullest abilities. They flew towards the centre, above the mountain which surrounds the centre they saw a multitude of caves.

"Do you think there will be other special beasts in those caves?" Chloe asked enthusiastically. Since Aaron came from the cave whose to say there won't be other unique beasts or at least strong beasts within those caves.

"I don't think so, it might be rather rare for there to be beasts in them," Lachlan stated. He knew that the reason Aaron was in the cave was because of the water and berries, as for the others, seeing as how there wasn't a stream of water coming out there was a likely chance there wasn't any water in them, something essential for life.

As they descended from the sky Lachlan was happy to say that his theory was correct. The high ranked gravity stones gave them the ability to nullify the gravity at the centre of the island. Which if he wasn't wrong should be roughly 100 – 150 times Earth's gravity.

The centre tree even surprised Lachlan and Chloe. While although they knew it was large they didn't expect it to be so large. They only saw it from a distance which didn't help in determining the size of it. However, once they were up close they felt dizzy looking up.

The roots of the tree were reaching the height of a two-story building, they extended far and wide into the mountains. Meaning a majority of the ground was made of tree roots. Lachlan quickly remembered his eye's new ability and analysed the tree.

--------------------------------------------------------

Name: World Tree

Description: The Wold Tree is a tree that supports the life of everything around it. The life force emitting from it gives the surrounding area prosperity. Plants will grow many times bigger and stronger.

Location: There will only ever be a maximum of 7 world trees in the world at once, each one is located in the centre of the continent.

--------------------------------------------------------

Lachlan never thought he would discover another myth. He's heard about the world tree, granted there were many versions of it. Some say that it is at the centre of the universes and each leaf is a universe, while there were other versions which have the world tree at the centre of the universe or world.

He also realised how good of a choice their location was. Considering that everything grows better around it, should they go into the caves and grow things there, everything will grow amazingly.

'So that's why there are a bunch of plant stones' Lachlan suddenly realised why there were so many plant stones, each of varying rankings. If they search well enough they're bound to find some high ranked stones around the tree considering they absorb the life force directly from the world tree.

Once they reached the ground they all got off, but Lachlan and Chloe were still quite concerned, "Remember, don't go too far otherwise you'll have to deal with the real gravity," Chloe reminded them.

The kids didn't know too much about how it works, but they trusted what Lachlan said. All he said was that they'll have to deal with consequences they can't deal with right now. Flynn understood though, he knew the gravity around here would probably crush him into the ground.

Dylan, on the other hand, took that information and knew what he had to do. Although the children knew there would be consequences there are bound to be some that want to see if they can escape them. If they dragged Sarah into their scheme and they all died to the gravity, he knew Lachlan would blame himself.

"So what should we do now?" Chloe asked Lachlan. There wasn't much they could do here, they didn't even have any connection here due to the mountains and the tree. Which is why the military sent them, since they couldn't actually get into the island without their drones getting crushed due to the gravity or the connecting getting lost.

"Well I suppose we should make a quick shelter right now, just something that'll last us until tomorrow which is when we'll start building our real houses," Lachlan explained as he looked towards the setting sun. It was just about to reach night time.

"We could just use our little shelter left on the beach for now, it'll last us the night easily and there's plenty of room," Chloe suggested. Lachlan agreed with it, and although it was slightly dangerous since the military was after them. Since James said he won't get involved, Lachlan knew they should be safe from the sea for a while at least.

"Alright, we'll stay there the night and begin building," Lachlan agreed with a nod. But before that Lachlan searched around the area for some stones. He found a few high ranked stones, enough for Chloe, Flynn, and Dylan.

"Take them and put a drop of blood on them, they're high ranked stones which give you the ability to nullify the gravity here. We'll go somewhere else and find some medium ranked gravity stones for the children later," Lachlan didn't want the children to have too much power, but he also wanted them to be able to protect themselves and explore the island.

He was a child once and all he wanted to do was run around and have fun. Since he would give them medium ranked gravity stones, they'll last them until the mountains where they probably wouldn't be able to climb in normal gravity anyway.

Everyone dropped a bit of blood on the stones. Chloe wasn't expecting anything since she's already done this multiple time. The others, on the other hand, experienced the rush of knowledge, of commands and details of the stone.

Flynn and Dylan were shocked and felt a slight headache. Fortunately, it didn't last long, and they were able to quickly recover from the headache. They looked towards the stone in shock, they didn't realise there were so many things they could do.

"Damn this almost seems like a cheat," Flynn said in shock. There were so many ways someone could use the stones in battles, not to mention the ways someone could use these stones practically through life.

"Alright, let's go back to the beach and get some sleep. Tomorrow will be a big day of building," Lachlan said as Aaron bent down its wings. The children quickly ran up and sat down, everyone else followed.

The quickly made it to the beach and it was fairly dark, the tall trees cast a shadow across the surrounding ocean. The kids quickly noticed the coconuts in the trees as they descended onto the beach.

"Hey, can we have one of those?" The children asked. Due to their young age, they haven't experienced much in the world. Not to mention most of them stayed in Australia, specifically South Australia where there weren't any coconut trees.

"Sure," Lachlan nodded to Chloe who quickly activated her stone. Although the area would likely affect the beach Lachlan didn't want to take chances. He wanted for the children to slowly adjust to the increasing gravity, get them to train by slightly increasing the gravity.

Lachlan ran up to the tree and climb up it. He completely nullified the gravity and shot up, reaching the top quickly. He reached out and grabbed a few coconuts, crushing their stems before jumping down.

He rushed back to the beach where the children were waiting patiently, but inside they were extremely excited. It was something they've seen in movies and tv shows, but never experienced themselves.

Lachlan saw his large smiles and placed the coconuts on the ground. After taming Aaron his overall strength has increased drastically. Making these coconuts much easier to break, only taking a minute to open them.

He quickly passed them around, the kids joyfully drank down the contents. The sweetness was pleasant along with the refreshing feeling it gave. Lachlan looked towards the ocean and remembered something he couldn't believe he forgot.

The special abilities. He completely forgot about them since he hasn't used them in so long, there wasn't a need to. It wasn't like the beasts' levels would continue to increase, no matter how many beasts they killed.

He hasn't tested out Aaron's special ability, he felt as though he was an idiot. Forgetting something so important, something that can change the course of battle in an instant.

Everything passed by rather quickly, Chloe went out and caught a fish before bringing it back and slicing it up. They usually wouldn't be able to ever finish the fishes they catch due to their large size. But now they had quite a few mouths to feed.

Lachlan started up the fire with his fire control and Chloe placed the fishes on the side, letting it roast. The juices from the fat dripped onto the burning wood, causing it to sizzle from the heat. The kids were drooling at the smell, fish meat has really gone up in quality after the evolution, the same could be said with most meats.

Lachlan happily dug in, quickly followed by everyone else. After that they went to sleep, the group gave the big room to the children. Granted Sarah stayed with Lachlan, stuck to him like glue as she wrapped herself around Lachlan's legs.

However, once everyone was asleep Lachlan gently left Sarah's arm on the ground. He snuck away silently and ran away from the shelter, making it a few kilometres away before summoning Aaron.

Aaron looked around with confusing in his eyes, 'What's going on master?'

'Use your special abilities on the ocean, I want to see what you can do' Lachlan believed Aaron's abilities would be overwhelming considering he was a mythical beast. There was no way it couldn't be something underwhelming.

But that's exactly what it was.

Aaron spread its wings far and screeched loudly. The sound echoed across the waters, causing it to ripple wildly. But aside from that, there wasn't anything else, it was almost as though nothing happened.

'Did you do it?' Lachlan asked.

'Yes,' Aaron rapidly nodded its head. Even he didn't know what his special ability was, it only knew that he had one and how to activate it. Aside from that, he didn't know anything else.

'Well ain't this just great' Lachlan said as he scratched his head. Although he was greatly disappointed there wasn't much he could do about it. It wasn't as though he could just give Aaron another ability.

Lachlan unsummoned Aaron and went back. Still slightly disappointed from the fact that it didn't have an ability. He went back to sleep grumpily.
