Chapter 590: Serpent-kin Beast (1/2)
Leon patted Soft Feather's head lightly before making his request politely, ”Please take us down to the Skysilver Tribe's ruins, Miss Soft Feather.”
”Okay.”
Soft Feather shortly descended without complaint.
Leon was slightly surprised before he smiled lightly, thinking that it was possible to get along with Soft Feather as long as he speaks nicely to her.
'Is this what is meant by the proverb; one should not punch a smiling face?' Leon thought.
After Soft Feather landed on a moderately flat piece of land within the Skysilver Tribe, the three-tailed silver wolf was already waiting for them.
Leon glanced at Silver for a moment before asking, ”Does this place seem familiar to you, Silver?”
”Awroof?” the three-tailed silver wolf tilted its head in response.
”Never mind. I suppose not.” Leon smiled slightly, thinking that it was too early for Silver to recall anything.
But it could also be that the three-tailed silver wolf's memory and intelligence were truly permanently impaired for good.
”This is the Skysilver Tribe? I smell reeks terribly here.” Aria furrowed her brows in disgust from the revolting smell that assailed her senses.
The entire tribe was heavily concentrated with carcasses that formed multiple tall walls on the outer rings, while blood soaked the region, and not a single structure was left intact.
The pungent stench of blood and rotting flesh was enough to make anyone nauseous—and even spew for the weak stomachs.
Ice-lightning power quickly surged out from Aria's body before she chilled her surroundings and blew away the foul smell from the area.
Swoosh~!
”Be careful. There's still something alive in this tribe,” Leon warned at the faintest sense of sudden movements.
He immediately swept out with his divine sense.
Before Leon could locate the creature, a serpent beast with a human upper body exposed itself from a mountain of smelly corpses some distance away.
Hiss!
The serpent-kin beast hissed at Leon's group, crimson-eyed, and a bloody bone spear in hand. It greatly resembled one of the top beast races within the Divine Realm.
”Is that a Naga?” Aria muttered with surprise.
”Nagas are naturally born half-serpent half-human creatures and not a product from interracial breeding…” Leon shook his head after a quick glance at the berserk serpent-kin beast before he said, ”But this one should have been born from a human and serpent…”
”Huh?” Aria was quickly startled before she muttered in shock, ”How is it even possible for humans and serpents to mate?”
”If the serpent's ancestors were once Divine Beasts, then it should be very possible after their human transformation. But that doesn't seem like the case here…” Leon spoke before muttering, ”So it can only be the other possibility…”
”What is the other possibility?” Lilith asked with curiosity.
”Huh? Didn't you grow up in the Wildlands?” Aria asked her before she continued, ”How is it possible that you don't know about the origins of these types of serpent-kin beasts?”
”I wasn't interested in learning how a snake and human mated, okay? How am I supposed to know if I never learned about it?” Lilith retorted.
