Chapter 364: Chapter 345 News of the Spirit Awakening Pearl
On an island far from the mainland, Lin Yi faced nearly a thousand Winged Race members in the sky and on the ground, his expression still as calm as still water, without a ripple.
At this moment, he was looking at Brens, patiently awaiting the other party’s answer.
If conflict could be avoided, Lin Yi sincerely did not want to act against this ’troubled’ race.
After all, during that time, this race had already endured too much hardship for the sake of some people’s desires to grow stronger.
If they had been killed by the Demon Race on the anti-demon battlefield, Lin Yi wouldn’t have felt this way, as dying on the anti-demon battlefield was just defending their homeland.
Even death was willing for their own race and this land, a meaningful death.
But the fact was, their disappeared clansmen did not die gloriously on the anti-demon battlefield, but were killed under the knife of the Hundred Races’ desires.
A race originally numbering tens of thousands was whittled down by their own people to less than ten thousand, retreating to a hidden island.
Such a thing is unacceptable to anyone and cannot be accepted.
Therefore, Lin Yi’s heart was filled with sympathy and regret for their plight.
This was also why, after the other party repeatedly showed ill intent towards him, Lin Yi restrained himself from taking real action.
Perhaps it was due to Lin Yi’s current display of power that instilled some fear, or maybe it was Lin Yi’s sincerity that touched Brens. After a long silence, Brens suddenly waved his hand toward his clansmen and said:
"You all go back, I’ll stay and see what he wants to say."
Some Winged Race members heard this and urgently exclaimed:
"Elder Brens, humans have always been despicable and shameless. Whatever it is, let him say it now. We cannot be at ease letting you stay alone."
"Yes, Elder Brens, we won’t leave."
For a moment, the surrounding Winged Race members began to discuss among themselves:
"This human’s appearance is very strange. We must be extremely cautious."
However, the next moment, Brens’s attitude suddenly changed, and he said:
"I told you to withdraw, so withdraw. Or have I grown so old that my words hold no weight?"
The surrounding Winged Race members were shocked at these words:
"That’s not it, Elder. We are just worried about this human bringing harm to you."
Ignoring their concerned words, Brens directly pointed out:
"Do you think with his strength, he would need any deceitful tricks?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was silence all around.
At this moment, all the Winged Race members’ eyes fell on the three pets beside Lin Yi.
There was no need to mention anything else, even that Giant Dragon alone felt like a mountain pressing on their hearts, hard to shake.
Not to mention the Behemoth and that Fierce Beast (Jade Qilin), which also seemed not easy to deal with.
Ultimately, under Brens’s firm request, the surrounding Winged Race members flew towards the distant village, one by one.
Meanwhile, Brens descended from the sky and stood not far from Lin Yi.
At this moment, looking at Lin Yi, Brens asked the first question:
"About the Clan Leader’s Order you held just now, is everything you said true?"
At this point, Lin Yi recalled the Elf Dragon and then said to the Jade Qilin and Behemoth:
"You two go play."
Hearing this, the Jade Qilin’s eyes brightened and responded:
"Xiao Jin, come with me to play."
With that, the Jade Qilin led the Golden Behemoth to frolic off to the side.
Seeing the two pets acting carefree, Lin Yi smiled knowingly.
In the following period, Lin Yi roughly explained the course of his mission.
During this process, he detailed the encounter with the Winged Race elder and what happened during that time.
As Lin Yi narrated these events, he also indirectly explained why he was here.
At the same time, at Brens’s request, Lin Yi gave a brief account of what happened after the Winged Race left, including the anti-demon war that nearly overturned the entire continent.
In the end, Lin Yi looked at the current Winged Race elder before him and said:
"That’s all I have to say. As for believing it or not, it’s up to you."
At this moment, perhaps like Krein suddenly told Lin Yi all the things he did not know before, the expression on Brens’s face almost froze, filled with shock and disbelief.
As he digested the information Lin Yi provided, he was also amazed by the Hundred Races’ experiences in the anti-demon war afterward.
Upon hearing that the tribes that once participated in hunting the Winged Race suffered severe losses or even near extinction due to deaths in the anti-demon war,
Brens originally wanted to laugh out loud, but for some reason, he actually remained silent.
While Brens kept silent, Lin Yi sat down on the ground.
Looking at the Winged Race members peering over from the distance in droves, Lin Yi suddenly sighed, saying:
"Perhaps you could say you’ve found blessing in disguise."
If those Winged Race hadn’t chosen to leave back then and participated in the anti-demon war with other races,
then the Winged Race wouldn’t be as prosperous as it is now.
"Blessing in disguise? Hah~"
Brens suddenly chuckled ambiguously and said:
"Do you know why we are trapped here?"
Lin Yi quickly asked:
"Why?"
This was also the question Lin Yi was most concerned about at the moment.
Because Lin Yi really wanted to know whether this matter had anything to do with the Spirit Awakening Pearl.
Brens then uttered something that startled Lin Yi greatly:
"Have you heard of divine creation?"
Lin Yi’s eyes widened in confusion and asked:
"What divine creation?"
But Brens did not immediately answer Lin Yi’s question, instead continued speaking:
"I don’t know exactly what the Spirit Awakening Pearl you mentioned is, but if you are sure this thing is on this island, then I know something that should be the Spirit Awakening Pearl you’re talking about."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi stood up excitedly:
"Where is it?"
Brens suddenly looked towards a direction where a towering, rugged peak stood, a fierce glint flashed in Brens’s eyes.
Then Brens suddenly rose and headed toward the direction of the mountain, saying:
"Follow me, there you should find the answers you want."
