Fate Reignites: My Rampage in a World Where Time Stops-Chapter 348 - 298: Return to Screaming Demon Lake (Four in One) (Additional for 8700 Monthly Tickets in May)_4
A mere few lines of writing, yet he felt a chill run down his spine.
We are all ominous...
Was Kasakaban's statement, made just before completely succumbing to madness, mere illogical babble, or did it hold some deeper meaning?
"Indeed, an ominous power is terrifying to the heart," Lin Yue clasped Qin Chuan's hand, speaking softly, "Think of the corrupted Zefina, now look at Kasakaban."
"But we will eventually crush it."
"Mm!" Qin Chuan nodded firmly, crushing the letter in his hand.
"Let's go; it's time to leave this place."
They soon walked off the surface of the lake.
"Where to next?" Lin Yue asked, looking at Qin Chuan.
"Let's check over there." Qin Chuan surveyed the surroundings, then his gaze drifted in a certain direction, "That's where the Crystal Clan Tribe, once Kasakaban's, used to settle."
"Perhaps there are still some traces left from when the original Crystal Clan migrated."
Lin Yue had no objections.
Before long, they emerged from the dense fog, and a plain soon unfolded before their eyes.
However, upon halting before the plain, both displayed looks of surprise.
For the location, which should have been desolate after the Crystal Clan's departure, was bustling instead of barren.
Numerous figures were shuttling back and forth, evidently forming a new tribe.
And these individuals belonged to the Crystal Clan.
"It seems like the new Crystal Clan that migrated to the Masiso Territory chose the same place as their former clan for a stronghold," Lin Yue whispered softly, "Regarding the disappearance of Kasakaban, might they know something?"
"It's possible." Qin Chuan pondered for a moment, then briskly stepped forward, echoing the arrogant demeanor of Dalaisai in his mind and began to imitate.
"Hey, guys from the Crystal Clan."
In an instant, dozens of Crystal Clan members threw Qin Chuan slightly hostile glances.
Behind him, Lin Yue helplessly massaged her forehead.
Before the Crystal Clan encircled them, Lin Yue quickly stepped in front of Qin Chuan, gesturing at them.
"Don't misunderstand; we're just asking for directions."
"Hmph, the Half-demon Clan and its Lord already rule the Masiso Territory, do you still need us to ask for the way?" One of the Crystal Clan men spoke with a hint of sarcasm.
"This is practically a backdrop for you Half-demons, here we are more like guests."
Lin Yue was at a loss for words.
Meanwhile, Qin Chuan faintly grasped something.
The Nether River Demon God held prejudices against the Crystal Clan, and although he didn't know why he allowed the Crystal Clan to migrate to the Masiso Territory again, the Clan must have paid a significant price during the process.
No wonder they harbored such resentment towards the Half-demons.
Coincidentally, at that moment, they were disguised as Half-demons.
Just as the atmosphere grew tense, a Crystal Clan member in a splendid robe stepped out of a tent, speaking calmly, "Marland, stop your sneering."
"Yes, Clan Leader." The Crystal Clan man who had spoken earlier suddenly became submissive.
The rest of the Crystal Clan members revealed respectful expressions and parted to create a path.
The Crystal Clan Leader took measured steps towards them and spoke calmly, "What directions do you wish to ask for?"
"We would like to know the way to the Passo Cliff," Lin Yue said, glancing at Qin Chuan and casually mentioning a location in the Masiso Territory.
"Head in the southwest direction," the Crystal Clan Leader said slowly, "If there's nothing else..."
"Hold on, I would also like to know why there are no screams coming from Screaming Demon Lake anymore." Qin Chuan hurriedly spoke up, "We came specifically to visit, but it was a huge letdown."
"A visit? Unnecessary curiosity can be lethal," the Crystal Clan Leader intoned deeply, "Screaming Demon Lake's overall strength significantly weakened after becoming an 'instance' a few months ago, and Lord Deliclay led an army into the lake and killed the Lake Bottom Death Demon."
The Lake Bottom Death Demon had been killed by Deliclay...
That was indeed a new lead.
Qin Chuan was about to express his thanks, but the Crystal Clan Leader, along with his kin, already turned and went back to their camp.
Clearly, they were not keen on mingling too much with Half-demons.
Qin Chuan and Lin Yue exchanged a glance, deciding not to impose any longer and turned to leave.
One of the Crystal Clan members watched Qin Chuan and Lin Yue as they stayed no longer and leaned toward the Clan Leader, inquiring in a low voice.
"Clan Leader, why did we tell those two Half-demons the way?"
"Because of that damn Half-demon Lord, when we first entered the Masiso Territory, we paid such a heavy price," the Clan Leader spoke, and the rest of the Crystal Clan felt indignant.
Had it not been for the previous migrating Crystal Clan that left behind an artifact of great importance to the Crystal Clan here, why would they have paid such a high cost for such a meaningless migration?
The Crystal Clan Leader's pace faltered slightly, and he spoke calmly.
"They are not Half-demons."
Eh?!
Hearing this revelation, a chorus of shock appeared on the faces of the gathered Crystal Clan members.
"How can they not be? They clearly have the distinguishing features of Half-demons," one of the Crystal Clan couldn't help but voice his confusion.
"That's right; those characteristics are unmistakable at a glance; none of the other five Clans would have them," another Crystal Clan member nodded in agreement.
"Martha, you explain." The Clan Leader spoke up slowly.
"That man and woman are of the Human Race; I witnessed that male human kill a Legend Rank Demon Lord today while I was in the trade area," a female Crystal Clan member stepped out from the tent the Clan Leader had just exited, gazing at her kinfolk.
"They might have disguised themselves, but I recognize them."
"Human Race?!"
Martha's words roused a huge uproar and whispers among the other tribe members. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
The entire Heavenly Dome Rank was paying attention to this seventh Clan with the potential to ascend the Heavenly Dome Rank.
