Chapter 594: The Fissure (1/2)
Shortly after returning to the Worldspace, Leon and Aria were quickly dressed before Leon took them back outside.
Very quickly, Leon noticed Soft Feather was already waiting for them, and one her back, Duna eyed them with a mischievous smile, ”I wonder where the two of you have been, hm hm?”
”You know where.” Leon scratched his cheeks wryly.
Duna wore an expression that says she saw through everything, but at the same time, Leon vaguely sensed some jealousy in her gaze.
”Where, where? I don't know.” Soft Feather asked curiously.
Leon threw Soft Feather a glance and coolly said, ”You don't need to know that,” causing the Blue Luan's mood to quickly plummet with a sulking expression.
”Hmph!” Soft Feather snorted and spat with puffed cheeks, ”Wasn't interested anyway.”
Shortly after, Leon glanced around for a moment before he asked, ”Where's Lilith? Is she not back yet?”
”I guess not? We weren't together. Maybe she will come back soon enough if we just wait a bit longer.” Duna responded nonchalantly.
”I see.” Leon nodded before he inquired, ”I heard you all weren't to look around. Did you find anything interesting?”
Duna did not answer.
Instead, she shifted her gaze to Soft Feather before the Blue Luan spat with disdain, ”A Low-rank tribe can't possibly have anything interesting of value in this backward place. If you want to find rare treasures, you have at least look in the mainland's region.”
”Oh?” Leon immediately turned to Soft Feather with interest before requesting, ”Care to elaborate, Miss Soft Feather? What is different about the mainland?”
”The mainland is on a far higher ground than you can possibly imagine.” Soft Feather immediately strutted with a haughty look as she continued, ”It's not a place that humans can survive. The strong suppressive force would crush you all to death—”
Suddenly, Soft Feather paused as she glanced at Leon before she said, ”Well, you might be an exception to that. But other humans will die without a doubt with those weak bodies of theirs.”
”However, the mainland's harsh environment—”
”—The harsh environment also gives birth to exotic plants and oddities that can only survive—or is strong enough to survive in such a harsh environment, right?” Leon interrupted.
Soft Feather stamped her feet in annoyance due to Leon stealing the words right out of her mouth.
Even so, she still grudgingly nodded, ”That's right. It's a place for the strong, and that includes plants, among others things as well. Basically, the quality of things is much higher there than out here.”
”Makes sense.” Leon nodded in agreement.
Swoosh~!
Suddenly, Lilith's figure flew over with her single feathered black wing before she hollered, ”Leon, I found something strange! You should come and take a look.”
Leon raised an eyebrow, noticing a bit faint trace of redness in Lilith's eyes before he urged her, ”Come over here quickly for a second.”
”Hm? What is it?” Lilith asked as she made her over as Leon requested.
Leon patted her head before he extracted a string of Wrath Demonic Energies from her body—much to her alarm.
”Is that—?”
”Yeah, it's Wrathful Demonic Energy that infiltrated your body. You need to be more careful next time. You wouldn't be this lucky if I wasn't around to notice it quickly,” Leon warned her before saying, ”Show me what you found.”
