Chapter 49: Craziness of Devouring (1/2)

Translator: Soldier

It gradually got dark.

She had failed to get an Internal Dan of Chilian Snake, and she was in prostration, so it would be very unwise for her to travel in the forest.

As a result, before the sun completely sank below the horizon, Yun Wu started retracing the previous route of that Iron-Clad Snake, planning to spend the night in its nest.

”Elder White, you're an elf of Sorcery Tribe's sacred items, so you must know of the Sorcery Tribe, don't you?” on her way to the nest, Yun Wu couldn't help recalling something, so she asked.

”Of course I do. But if you were referring to the current Sorcery Tribe, then I don't know about it either and I can't answer your question.”

”Then what was the prior Sorcery Tribe like?

What kind of power is that sorcery power?

And why do I have this so-called sorcery?” Yun Wu took advantage of this opportunity and spilled out all her questions.

Usually, no matter what she asked this old man, he would either say that he couldn't answer her because she had no bond with him, or fall asleep.

Today he was so willing to answer her questions, so she seized this opportunity.

Elder White paused for a while, then said, ”You little girl. Are you trying to fish for information from me?”

”Tell me, please. I've already found a way to revive my body anyway, and it's only a matter of time before I bond myself to the sacred item.”

”Do you think you can forge the bond whenever you want? That's easy for you to say,” though Elder White said these words, there was a tinge of amusement in his tone.

This girl had managed to wake him up after he slept for over a thousand years, so he naturally hoped that she would be able to forge a bond with the sacred item.

In that case, he wouldn't have to stay in the necklace all the time, and he at least could go outside for a stroll.

”Are you saying that there are some other requirements apart from reviving my body?” Yun Wu frowned.

This bond was so tricky. But this was the only way to become a summoner, so no matter what requirements there were, she would fulfill all of them.

”Of course, there are requirements, but I can't tell you for the moment. As regards those questions you asked, maybe I can give you some information.”

Yun Wu's eyes lit up – that would be better than giving her nothing, ”Then tell me.”

”The Sorcery Tribe is an offshoot of the ancient immortals. All members of the Sorcery Tribe possess powers that ordinary people cannot imagine, and sorcery power was one of them. The reason why you have it is because half of your blood is Sorcery-Tribe blood, so it's very normal that you have sorcery power in you.

'An offshoot of immortals?'

'I'm half Sorcery-Tribe?'

Yun Wu was a little surprised, but this hadn't gone far beyond her expectation – she had a sacred item of Sorcery Tribe on her; she had been born with memories; her body was dead yet she could still bleed and feel pain like normal people could.

If she had Sorcery-Tribe blood on her, then it would explain everything.

However, if so, then it would suggest that her natural mother was a member of the Sorcery Tribe.

'But why would a member of Sorcery Tribe who had power unimaginable to common people marry a mortal and be his concubine?'

However hard she tried, Yun Wu still couldn't figure this out.

But, she did figure out one thing – the queen must have some kind of relation with the Sorcery Tribe, and the reason why she had tried to poison her must have something to do with her natural mother.

But where had her natural mother gone?

Had she been caught?

Had she returned to Sorcery Tribe?

Or had she been killed?

It seemed that she would have to pay a visit to this queen of Zhou Dynasty if the occasion arose.

Yet at this time, Elder White resumed his talking, ”But I have detected your body before, and I found that the sorcery power in you is very thin. It shouldn't have been aroused, but previously you had awoken the purest sorcery power between the heaven and the earth. It was so strange that a half-breed like you could have awoken sorcery power that was so pure.”

While making these remarks, Elder White himself gradually felt that was indeed very weird.

But Yun Wu, who had been listening to him, felt somewhat unconvinced.

'What's wrong with being a half-breed?

In modern times, people of mixed race are the most popular, okay?'

Night fell.

Finally, in prostration, Yun Wu made it to the nest of that Iron-Clad Snake.

It was just a fairly large cave.

There was no grass concealing the entrance of the cave, and there was no sign of any other magic beasts nearby the cave. It seemed that this area was like that Iron-Clad Snake's exclusive backyard.

After taking a Legendary Luminous Pearl out of the Storage Space, Yun Wu walked into the cave.

The cave was pretty deep, but Yun Wu eventually chose a position near the entrance, because that rank smell in the air deep in the cave was the same as that of the snake, and she found it unbearable.

It was late at night.

”Guh-luh-luh!” the sound of her stomach rumbling was heard in the cave.

Yun Wu, who had been sitting cross-legged and performing Qi circulation, finally opened her eyes. She stroked her stomach resignedly, ”I'm starving.”

She hadn't had anything for a full day and her body was in severe prostration. She felt as if the gap between her chest and her back had been considerably narrowed.

But Long Qingxie had all the food that she had previously prepared.

'Long Qingxie, where the hell are you? You said that you would find me. Do you know what time it is?'

Long Qingxie had said that he could sense her position, but it had been a full day, yet he was nowhere to be seen. Yun Wu couldn't help looking into the outside of the cave with a frown on her face.

However, what she didn't know was that the ”Blood Connector” he had planted in her body had been erased the moment sorcery power woke up in her.

Originally, Long Qingxie had been rapidly coming for her. At the time when the ”Blood Connector” was erased, his face drastically changed.

The disappearance of Blood Connector meant the death of its host.

But he didn't believe that she would have died so easily, because she was the woman that he had fell for, and how was it possible that the woman he had fell for would kick the bucket so easily?

But without the help of Blood Connector, his search for her was completely aimless, just like trying to find a needle in an ocean.

At present, in the darkness, that white figure was still persistently searching for her.
