Asura after instantly killing the tiger faced the now unconscious girls. Walking up to them, he sensed them to possess the aura of weakness and uniqueness he searched for and began walking around them to assess if they were friends or foe and why they were unique.
Soon enough after about 10 minutes, Ming appeared on the scene and was intrigued by the sight of Asura being curious.
Asura merely noticed that they looked like Ming but were way weaker.
Just as Ming was planning on calling Asura for their departure, it abruptly began to rain.
Ming immediately ran around and searched for a place to stay and when she found one, she returned and pointed out the way to Asura
He then carried the three girls with ao on his back and Xing between his right hand and armpit and Ru between his left and dragged himself through the rain.
By the time he reached the cave, the rain had already started becoming heavy and he was soaked.
He entered the cave, dropped the girls on the ground by the side of the cave and immediately started searching for a missing Ming only to notice her returning with Rezorus dry wood.
[Rezorus dry wood is a fantasy wood that constantly remains dry in whatever condition]
He then patted her head as a sign of 'well done' and began making a fire.
He rubbed the sticks against each other, made smoke then sizzles and finally blew on it to make fire. He had learned to make fire from some adventurers in the forest and had also learned firsthand how dangerous it could be as it had burned him and destroyed his clothes which were also stolen from an adventurer…
Not like he liked them anyways. They were extremely restrictive and was part of the reasons he only wore a cloak and a dirty loose trousers. His toned, muscular yet slender body built for the wilderness marred by cuts, bruises and a scar from his right shoulder to his wrist
'Come to me if you desire more power'
'Come to me'
'Quickly reach my domain'
He didn't understand what was said or how it got into his mind but he could clearly feel it was calling him from deeper into the caves like a wind's whisper which is ironic. He didn't know what to make of it. He could feel its authority and yet he could also feel… desperation. Like a trance, he felt his mind and body focusing only on the voice and its origin and his surroundings slipping into a blur
Ming noticing something awry with Asura began to shake him to wake him up.
Breaking out of the daze, he noticed Ming's worried face and comforted her with a pat on the head and a warm smile on his face.
The rumbling of his stomach reminded him to prepare something to eat
Pulling out a pouch from beneath his cloak which was also stolen by him from another set of adventurers when he learned of its usefulness, he removed a huge piece of butchered meat and raised it over the fire and began roasting it.
Ming only sat beside him and patiently waited for the meat to cook
In between his roasting session, his eyes for some reason couldn't help but dart towards the 4 girls with him and noticing their every details from scent all the way down to how loud or subtle they breathe. For some reason, his mind was being imprinted with their details though he isn't quite aware of it yet.
They then removed the roasted meat from the fire and put a new thigh.
Eating the big thigh alone, he held out his hand out towards Ming. Suddenly, Ming raised her mouth and her canines grew longer. She then dug her fangs into the held out hand and began drinking blood from it.
Though Asura felt a sting, he ignored it as it was a common daily occurrence.
After she was satisfied, she withdrew her fangs and licked the injury. As a testament to his stronger vitality, his injury instantly stopped bleeding.
Both of them almost immediately went to sleep with her head on his shoulder and his head leaning on the cave wall.
