Chapter 643: Essences (2/2)

”It's okay. I wish everyone was as understanding as you.”

Caio then called his two companions over. They quickly released the Net that was holding the Eagle and left straight away.

”Caio, are we really leaving just like that?”

Caio nodded.

”We are. Didn't you see how powerful that guy was? What if that 9th Stage Semi-Divinity Realm decides to attack as well? Be grateful that they aren't the type who kills anything that bothers them. Let's go back to the sect and report it to the Sect Master. There is a chance that they will appear in our city, after all.”

The other two nodded, and they quickly sped away.

Back on Krune's side, Iem and Sisan joined with him and went to check the Eagle.

”How are your injuries? Are you okay to fly?”

The Eagle immediately nodded.

”I'm fine. You arrived before things got really nasty. By the way, you can call me Jilan.”

Krune and the others nodded.

”I'm Krune, and these two here are Iem and Sisan.”

The Eagle quickly greeted them. After that, Godly Energy began to gather on the Eagle's body, and it quickly returned to its human form. Surprisingly, it turned out that it was a female demon beast. Of course, she quickly put on some clothes after finishing her transformation.

”I'm not going back on my promise. Come with me. I will get you some of my race's accumulated Wind Essence.”

Krune's group nodded, and they began to follow Jilan.

On the way, Krune kept his mental Energy Spread. It was then that he noticed something strange coming out of Jilan.

'A... thread?'

Even with his Mental Energy, it was very hard to notice it. If not because he kept using his Mental Energy all the time, he wouldn't have eventually noticed it.

'Weird, the thread is coming out of her head, but it is not connected anywhere. The other end of it simply disappears in mid-air. No, to be more specific, it is connected to her Soul. Just what is it?'

Krune tried to touch it, but his hand passed through that thread as if it wasn't even there.

Jilan noticed Krune's actions and couldn't help but ask.

”Is there anything wrong?”

It was evident that even Jilan herself couldn't see that thread.

”No, it's nothing.”

Krune then stopped using his Mental Energy and concentrate on the Divine Sense alone. Sure enough, as soon as his Mental Energy disappeared, that thread disappeared right after. Only when he activated his Mental Energy again was he able to see the thread.

'Oh, well. It is probably a special trait to the beings in this place. Forget it, those threads have nothing to do with me.'

Just like that, they continued their journey.

Krune then thought about something else and decided to ask.

”I heard that Wind Essence is very rare. It has the power to naturally gather Wind Laws and is used for several things. How come your race got to accumulate it?”

Jilan looked at Krune with a surprised expression. But then she remembered something thing.

”Oh, right! You said that you were lost. Usually, everyone would know that answer. It seems like you really came from far away.”

Krune smiled after hearing that but gave no answer. He was also using his Divine Sense to translate everything he talked with Jilan to Iem and Sisan.

”Anyway, our Green Talon Eagle Race owns a natural Wind Essence Vein. That's why we can get Wind Essence.”

Krune understood.

”I see. Does that mean that this forest has other Essence Veins?”

Jilan nodded.

”There are a few others. For example, the Searing Alligators' Volcano has a Fire Essence Vein. The Water Lightning Eels have a Water Essence Vein in their lake. Of course, there are more races and veins as well.”

Iem then asked something for Krune to translate.

”What about the cultivators? Don't they have any interest in those Veins?”

Jilan shrugged her shoulder.

”Of course they have. However, Humans have to take care of their own as well. It's not like they are stronger than us, Demon Beasts, so the division of Essence Veins was completed a long time ago. Rarely does an Essence Vein change owners.”

However, one thing was puzzling Krune, so he decided to ask Luvile.

”Didn't you say that Elemental Essences were rare even in the God Realm? It doesn't seem that rare in this place.”

Luvile was as surprised as Krune.

”Let's wait and see. I'm also finding it weird.”
