Chapter 1419 The 6

เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 มี.ค. 2569 15:03

The other 6 Lord of the remaining 6 colonies did not introduce themselves and simply followed the Lizard. On the far left was a deer. It was a slender deer with a graceful antler that was large with bioluminescent vines growing in between them. What truly surprised Alex about the beast was that it had 6 eyes on its head. 'This is the 6-eyed deer that prince is talking about?' he wondered. The question now was whether this deer was going to give up its leg on its own, or if so, how was the Prince going to trade it for its legs? That was something he was looking forward to seeing it taken care of. A large swan walked next to it, it's iridescent feather gleaming in myriad colors from the light refracted from the various lanterns outside of the houses, as well as the light that came off from the deer's antlers. It was a majestic creature and seemed even more so than the Swan that he came to this place with. Next to the swan was an Ox. It had three horns on its head, both with an intense metallic sheen to it, like a trident growing out from it. It was a powerful Ox with a muscular build and golden fur adding to his majesty. On the very right walked a massive white elephant with blue tattoos all over it. Alex wasn't sure if they were tattoos it got after being born or if it was born with it. The white elephant had two massive tusks that curved over its head, and a trunk that it twisted around and lay rested on top of the trunks. It was larger than any beast out here, nearly as tall as the houses around them, and yet it walked so softly, causing almost no vibrations on the ground. The skins of its body were wrinkled and hanging, showing off its age, which was significantly older than most other beasts that were with it. Next to it was an Eagle with sharp golden eyes and a body that had a patch of white at the head and the rest of it entirely blue. It was a weird color for a bird, but not something out of the ordinary really. It was a fierce beast and Alex felt an aura around it that made it look almost threatening for some reason. He wondered why that was. Finally, the last of the 7, was the Golden Lion. A beast with majestic golden fur, an even brighter mane, and a body that seemed to be carved out of marble by a master craftsman. Alex looked at this beast the most out of all as this was the most important one to him in all of this land, for it was the Golden Lions that Bai Jingshen had married off his daughter to. If he was going to find anything about her or even see her, it was his best bet as of yet. The Colony looked no different from the ground as it did from the sky. Alex could only see more of how badly made the houses were. There were no architects or engineers to build a good house amongst the beasts so they made do with what they had. A few younger beasts got close to see the humans that had arrived in their colony, and the two men just smiled at the young beasts, most of which run away. Alex walked, taking in everything as the Lizard explained about his Colony. He pridefully spoke of how rich the Qi here was, how they had no shortage of natural Qi treasures in the forest, and how strong everyone's bloodline in the colony was. Alex conveyed his awe to the lizard every few steps, praising the things he saw in the colony. "This is truly incredible," Alex said. "Are all colonies like that?" "They are…" the Lizard paused and looked at the 6 other beasts that hadn't spoken until now. He coughed once and said, "They have their differences, but each one is unique and thus cannot be compared." "I see," Alex said, acting as if he did not see the other beasts start to get angry at the Lizard's consistent praise of its own colony while nearly bringing down theirs. The 6 hadn't spoken up until now as they were beneath the Lizard in his colony. They shut up and let him take the lead, for now. They hadn't spoken at all, but Alex did notice the Eagle of all looking back at him with a look that he couldn't grasp. He wasn't well versed in the facial expressions of every type of beast after all. Still, he was curious why it stared at him so much more than the others. Surely it didn't know him from anywhere. Or was there something on him that it was curious about? Ignoring that, Alex continued until they finally entered a large building that the Lizard brought them over to. As soon as they entered, something seemed to have shifted amongst the group that confused Alex for a second. As if finding new life, the 6 other beasts stood straighter and walked with dignity, unlike just a second ago. They walked din further and saw a bunch of platforms for the beasts to sit on and realized what was going on. 'Ah, this must be one of the locations in the colony where all of them are equal,' he thought. Everywhere else, they had to be subservient to the Lizard in his colony, but in this hall, they were all Leaders. Once they all took a seat, Alex and the Crown prince took a seat as well. They sat down in front of them and the crown prince spoke up first. "Thank you for letting us come, seniors. I truly appreciate it," the Crown prince said. "Thank you for letting me come as well. I believe it was short notice, so it must have been a little difficult to accept me," Alex said. "Haha, no it's fine," the giant lizard said. "Since we're here. Let me first introduce you to my fellow Leaders. This—" "No," the Eagle interrupted. "Before we go on, I want this man to answer me something." "Hmm?" the Lizard looked surprised and the other beasts turned toward it as well. "What do you want to say, sister Ying?" The Eagle jumped down from its platform and stared at Alex so closely that he thought she was looking into his soul. "You… how many beasts have you killed?" she asked. "How many beasts did you have to kill to gain a blood aura so strong?" Alex's eyes widened. 'She can sense my blood aura?' he thought in surprise. He had assumed that blood aura couldn't be sensed, and yet… 'No, she must've seen it. Her eyes look weird,' Alex thought. "I won't lie," Alex said. "I've killed my fair share of beasts. Is that a problem?" "How many?" the Eagle asked. "Is that why you're here? To kill some more for your own improvement?" "Ah, you're mistaken about something," Alex said. "While I have killed beasts, what you sense about me is not something I gained from killing beasts. But rather, it is something I acquired from a group of beasts for providing my services."
