Chapter 777: Secret Information About Spiritual Plants
Han Fei stood in the crowd and waited patiently, eager to find out what Blue Feather would say.
Blue Feather considered for a moment and said, “You’re all Heavenly Talents of the Ten Thousand Demon Valley. You’re all treasures. You’re all qualified to learn some secrets about this world.”
Han Fei got excited. Was he going to touch on the secrets of sea demons?
All the Half-Mermen and Half-Mermaids were thrilled too. Usually, only the top experts had access to these secrets. By telling them the information, King Feather was acknowledging their position among the sea demons.
Blue Feather was quite satisfied with the Heavenly Talents’ att.i.tude. He continued, “This world is bigger than you think. There’s one secret in the Ten Thousand Demon Valley right underneath your feet. This platform is actually connected to another sea, whose location we do not know.”
Immediately, a lot of people breathed heavily. It was connected to another sea?
Han Fei was quite astounded too.
His understanding of this world was restrained to the Thousand Star City and the Unknown Place. He knew that there were worlds beyond the boundless sea, but they were too far away from him.
However, now that Blue Feather claimed that the platform underneath his feet was connected to another sea, he wondered if it was where Xia Xiaochan was.
Blue Feather continued, “There are sea creatures, demons and human beings in that world. In fact, there’s another living creature there, namely the spiritual plants.”
“Huh?”
Unlike others who were shocked, Han Fei reacted with confusion. Spiritual plants? Spiritual plants were alive in the first place. What’s there to be surprised at?
Blue Feather said unhurriedly, “The sea creatures can transform into demons. Has it ever occurred to you that spiritual plants can transform too?”
Hum!
“Hiss!”
“Huh?”
Everybody wore expressions of disbelief and shock. Spiritual plants could transform too? It renewed their understanding of spiritual plants.
Blue Feather smiled. “Don’t be surprised. I can even tell you that there are more kinds of living creatures, but they’re too far away. If you grow into real experts and go to the capital someday, you might know it.”
As he talked, Blue Feather pointed his finger, and a picture was displayed. The picture showed a forest of spiritual plants including a tree that was dry and had no leaves.
However, the tree had eyes, a nose, and mouth.
Han Fei felt that he was exploding. So, the Little Treeman he met in the Deep-Sea Jungle in the level-two fishery was actually a spiritual plant? Then, was it a sea demon, or something else?
The picture disappeared, and Blue Feather continued. “Remember that tree. You will be given the mission to kill it.”
Han Fei’s face slightly changed. Kill a tree?
He remembered the Little Treeman from the level-two fishery, which was certainly not easy to kill.
Although he wasn’t a Hanging Fisher yet when he saw the Little Treeman last time, his Sacrificing Punch didn’t work on it at all. The Little Treeman didn’t seem to be hostile to human beings, but it was still very strong.
The dry tree he saw just now seemed much older than the Little Treeman. Would it be easy to kill?
Blue Feather said, “A couple years ago, an accident happened at the Earth Fire Platform of the Ten Thousand Demon Valley. The mysterious channel that has been sealed for a long time was loosened and will open in three days. You’ll stay here and enter it the moment it opens.”
“You have two purposes on your trip.”
“Firstly, the mysterious channel hasn’t been visited for a long time, so it contains both dangers and opportunities. You may find a treasure that will allow you to become a top expert.”
“Secondly, you will find the tree and kill it.”
“Yes, sir! We will fulfill those missions, King Feather!”
Someone roared, feeling that it was an honor to enter such a treasure trove.
Besides, opportunities had to be sought after and wouldn’t just knock on anyone’s door. They had been given one to become strong, which made them luckier than most people.
Blue Feather nodded in satisfaction. “Okay! There’s something else that you must remember.”
“Firstly, this treasure trove is very weird. No matter how strong you are, you’ll be suppressed to the Demonization level, or in human terms, the Hanging Fisher level. None of you will be very strong, so your knowledge of basic skills will be tested.”
“Secondly, there’s a channel on the human beings’ side too, and young Heavenly Talents will probably enter it too. Your battle with them is inevitable, but don’t fight them relentlessly unless it’s necessary. It’s expected that human beings will try to save that tree, so keep your trump cards to the last moment.”
Han Fei couldn’t have been more shocked. His guts told him that some secret must be involved in this.
The sea demons wanted to kill the tree, and human beings wanted to save it. Of course there were secrets.
However, Han Fei didn’t know what the secrets were. Since human beings were coming, it might be a chance for him to get out of here.
Blue Feather specifically declared that it was a channel.
Then, what was the sea on the other end of the channel like?
Also, would the dry tree affect the channel? Would the channel be closed or kept open if it was killed?
Han Fei felt rather tired. Secrets of the sea were popping up one after another.
He hadn’t resolved his own trouble yet. He hadn’t found the Bone Yard or his father, and he was getting involved with not just sea demons but also spiritual plants.
However, Han Fei was very sure of one thing: Luo Xiaobai was definitely coming.
Since it was a forest of spiritual plants, there was no reason why Luo Xiaobai, as a Divine Manipulator, wouldn’t come. A manipulator could fight better than anybody else in such an environment.
Han Fei secretly chuckled. It would be great if Luo Xiaobai was coming. He could send a message back through her. His friends must’ve been quite anxious after his Life Tablet was broken.
When everybody was thinking of the secret information, Han Fei heard a telepathic voice and then looked at Chixue Huan.
Chixue Huan subtly looked at him. Our deal still stands. Whether or not you can accomplish this task, I’ll consider that you have. Try to find a golden fruit in the treasure trove and bring it back.
Han Fei slightly frowned and responded, Can you be more specific?
No. However, the golden fruit is probably protected by a powerful tree demon. Bringing it back will be your main task.
Han Fei thought for a moment. What if I can’t bring it back?
As I said, I’ll consider that you have accomplished the task whether or not you can.
Han Fei secretly laughed. It was obvious that Chixue Huan hadn’t just given the task to him. If anyone that explored the treasure trove found that he secretly claimed the fruit or gave it to human beings, he would probably be killed the moment he returned.
Han Fei nodded subtly too. Okay.
While everybody digested the information, Blue Feather said, “In the following days, I’ll arrange a war in the battlefield in the front line, so that most human Heavenly Talents will be occupied. However, note that human manipulators have the talent of controlling spiritual plants. They’re very terrifying and you must be cautious around them.”
“On the other hand, another 21 sea demon experts will go into the treasure trove with you. They’re all top experts. Although their level will be suppressed, they still have their abundant battle experience. They’ll lead you in exploration.”
Han Fei put on the expression of confusion at the right moment. As a newly-awakened sea demon, he shouldn’t know about the five cla.s.ses, so he had to play dumb.
Yu Ji spoke to him telepathically, There are five cla.s.ses among human beings, and the manipulators of them can control spiritual plants and launch weird attacks. They have absolute advantages in forests, which is why we should avoid having head-on clashes with human beings.
Han Fei responded*, That explains a lot.*
Han Fei thought to himself, I know the manipulators’ methods better than any of you does, and you’re teaching me that?
However, what made Han Fei feel bad was that the sea demons waged war at mankind for the treasure trove. He wondered how many people would be killed on the battlefield. He merely hoped that some experts could take action and change the situation.
As for the 21 top experts, who equaled peak-level Hidden Fishers that Blue Feather mentioned, Han Fei didn’t consider it a big deal at all.
If they were suppressed to a lower level, how strong could they possibly be? Those people were only experts in a desolate land. Han Fei didn’t think that they would be as strong in a lower level…
On the contrary, Han Fei confidently believed that he was the strongest among them.
At this moment, an idea occurred to Han Fei. Should I kill them all in a trap and return to the Scattered Stars Island from the channel on the human side?
