Chapter 277: The Truth About the Cold Poison
“You’ve already eliminated four of the seven demon beasts?” In the Mountain Demon Clan’s territory, the Mountain Demon Elder’s face revealed a surprised expression. It hadn’t been too long since the two left the clan’s territory, yet the four great calamity beasts of “Fear”, “Inferiority”, “Greed”, and “Lust” had already been eliminated by them. Only three of the seven calamity beasts remained.
“Elder, we now have no clues about the remaining three great calamity beasts. The map you gave us before is too ancient and probably not that useful anymore. We’ve come back this time to seek your guidance on where we should go next to find clues,” Zhanyue asked sincerely.
The Mountain Demon Elder closed his eyes, pondering this question in his mind. The legend of the seven calamity beasts had passed long, long ago. Many races responsible for guarding the divine artifacts had even gone extinct. They hadn’t communicated with each other for a long time. The last time the Mountain Demon Clan and the Spirit Eye Clan had communicated was many years ago.
Suddenly, the Mountain Demon Elder’s eyes snapped open. “Got it! How could I have forgotten about them?” A hint of a smile appeared on his face. “Do you know about the ‘Fairy Spirit Clan’?”
“Fairy Spirit Clan? We know very little about the races of this world. Please elaborate, Elder,” Zhanyue probed.
“The Fairy Spirit Clan are spirits of grass and trees taking physical form. They are the most mysterious race in this world. It’s said that they are the closest to nature and the Heavenly Dao. No race dares to underestimate them. Among the Fairy Spirit Clan, there are prophets. It’s said they know many secrets that we don’t. But this legend has never been proven. Everyone just speculates based on how the Fairy Spirit Clan emerges unscathed from every major disaster. If it’s the Fairy Spirit Clan’s prophets, they might be able to help you find the remaining three great calamity beasts. But…” The Mountain Demon Elder’s tone changed.
“But what?” Zhanyue continued asking.
“The reason I didn’t think of them immediately is because they have always been mysterious and exclusive, rarely showing themselves in front of other living beings. Even though many people know where their clan territory is, very few have actually seen them,” the Elder sighed.
“What do you mean?” Zhanyue was puzzled. Why was it that people knew where their clan territory was but couldn’t see them?
