Chapter 658 Jumong World 2
Except that here had no supreme sect to hide under, and the battle would be no doubt more brutal and fierce, around three times fiercer and more barbaric.
"Among thousands of races, our Blood Void cat clan was nothing but an outcast, coming here to seek refuge.
As you can guess, the battle would be no doubt brutal, and surviving is as high as the heavens.
But from being nothing but slaves, used for reconnaissance, we grew up, defeating and conquering various clans, and we rose from an outcast to a lower race, then a middle race, until we are now one of the three upper races of this Forest Jumong Area, unable to be threatened by anyone. It's why it's so peaceful around," he said, chuckling as Zeras smiled, yet his head worked at full speed thinking of the man's words, and noting something amiss.
"You seem like you now at least have a gist of the happenings," he said, resulting in a nod from Zeras.
"Yes, I do."
"Then you must also have questions, don't you?" he said with a smile as Zeras nodded.
"Then, ask away, you're our guest anyway."
"Firstly, is the fact that you mentioned strangers are not allowed into territories, yes?"
"Yes. They aren't. They might be spies, after all," he explained.
"Then, how come we're welcomed so amicably? How do you know we're not spies for the other upper clans, coming here to count your numbers and your power levels? Aren't you too trusting for an upper-rank clan with thousands of years of experience?" Zeras said as both he and the old man took their cups and took a sip. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
But now, he could hear what Fluffy said, and it brought him so much joy there was no other way he could even explain it.
"I never knew the tiny head was so mischievous," Zeras said, rubbing Fluffy's jaw resulting in another episode of sweet purring.
"There are a lot of things you still have to learn about it. Really, a lot!" the old man said as Zeras nodded seriously.
"That said, might I ask why you have the word 'Blood' in your name? I only know Void cats, I have never heard of blood ones before," Zeras asked seriously as he noticed the old man's hand holding the cup convulse, causing some of the tea to spill on the table, and he turned to look at Zeras deep in the eyes.
"I'm very sorry if I might have unknowingly triggered something..."
"Nah, nah. It's fine. It seems even I still can't get over it. I'm glad you asked me. It would have been bad and very disheartening if you had asked anyone else that question," he said with a melancholic smile as he wiped the tea spill off before taking a gentle sip and heating it slightly.
"The reason why we are called Blood Void Cat. It was a name given to us by one of our priests 400 years ago. A name of shame and also respect," the priest said, his eyes looking to the side, and Zeras listened attentively.
"As you might know, the Void cats love to bond with other races, seeking companions that are not of our own selves.
So when people pass by the divine realm, we might often bond with the special ones amongst them, seeking to explore mysteries of the outside world beyond the dividing line."
"That's true," Zeras replied. That was truly the way he had contracted with Fluffy.
"But sometimes we make very fatal mistakes. Mistakes that might cause us harm and pain for thousands of years to come. One such mistake led to our own existence right now," he said.
"The mistake of choosing the wrong bond!"
