342: Chapter 318: A Large Group of Night Ghosts by the Lake (Middle)_1 342: Chapter 318: A Large Group of Night Ghosts by the Lake (Middle)_1 Edmund scoffed and shook his head: “Run?
Who wouldn’t be tempted by the Spiritual Treasure Embryo?
Even if they knew their chances were slim, they wouldn’t leave.
Since they’ve already arrived here, they won’t willingly go back until the last mont.”
“Besides, the situation in the Extinction Domain has changed.
Without the protection of a master, if they want to safely retreat now, that would be a dream.”
With a wave of his hand, Edmund left: “There’s no need to worry, you said they have the fortress, surviving the night shouldn’t be a problem.”
Hidden, Randolph and Master gan both saw and naturally showed a satisfied sneer on their faces.
Everyone withdrew to seven or eight kiloters away, Rachel asked, “Sir, shall we settle here?”
Owen Bertram shook his head, “Let’s hide further away in case soone gets hit by a stray thunderbolt and drags us into it.”
When Rachel and others were not sure why, Owen Bertram just shrugged it off and refused to explain.
The group could only retreat another ten or so kiloters.
They made sure they were around twenty kiloters away from the Treasure Ship, completely out of sight from each other, then let the Poison Shadow Oak out and built a chanism Beehive Fort for a rest.
Owen Bertram summoned Rachel, “Do you have any news?”
When Rachel went to et Cecil Owen, Owen Bertram had already asked her to gather as much information as possible about the Spiritual Treasure Embryo.
“I used the information obtained by the Lioyd Sect to exchange with Cecil Owen,” Rachel said, “Firstly, Salo Tower only issued a reward this ti but secretly notified all tower retainers not to participate in the treasure hunt.
The explanation Salo Tower gave to its retainers was that a Seventh Level figure had made it clear: Those destined for the Spiritual Treasure are not in Salo Tower.
Going is just a waste of ti, with a high chance of losing one’s life.”
“Secondly, Cecil Owen and three other leading powers should have so treasures in their hands.
Those treasures either resonate with the Spiritual Treasure Embryo before its birth, or are sohow linked by cause and effect, with the ability to attract the Spiritual Treasure Embryo.
Those are the keys to them becoming leaders.”
Owen Bertram was surprised, “The Spiritual Treasure Embryo has never been born, how can these things exist?”
“Cecil Owen refused to say more about the specifics, but he seems very certain, so it should be true.”
Owen Bertram guessed, So people deliberately let it out.
He had suspected that the whole Spiritual Treasure Embryo incident was a “trap”, and now it seems even more likely.
Rachel continued, “It’s because of the existence of these treasures that these Tier-6 figures are certain the Spiritual Treasure Embryo truly exists and is about to be born, hence they ca personally.”
“In addition, I told Cecil Owen about our ambush at Duck Palm Beach.
Cecil Owen told that the demons were from Sinclair Blacktail of Soul Returning Mountain.
This old demon has had a legendary life.
The Fox Demons of Returning Soul Mountain are of the White Fox breed, who are mortal enemies with the Black Fox breed of the Ancient Indigo Pool, but Blacktail was born with a black tip on his tail, and his mother disappeared after giving birth to him.
Since childhood, he’s been belittled and bullied as a bastard on Soul Returning Mountain, but he could always endure and preserve on, and after a few or tens of years, he would put those who bullied him under his foot.
It is said that in the Nine Witch Demon Court, there is still a bet: How many tis little Sinclair Blacktail has to worm his way through trousers.
Yet, this old fox climbed to the top little by little and beca high-ranked.
When he was at Tier-3, he could have changed the color of his tail, but he intentionally kept it.”
Sixty years ago, he finally beca the tribe leader of the White Fox race on Soul Returning Mountain.
Everyone who opposed him either died of various accidents or was exiled for making a big mistake.
At his tribal leader’s coronation, he deliberately shook his black-tipped tail and slowly ascended the ancestral sacrificial altar.”
Owen Bertram couldn’t help but laugh, “This old fox is a ruthless person!”
Rachel also nodded, “He has a bad reputation within the fox demon clan, but in the Nine Witch Demon Court, he’s a famous Wise Old Man.
Many famous plots have his shadow behind them.”
She helped Lord Algernon analyze, “Sending such a figure ans the Demon Clan must have big plans in Copper Gorge.”
Owen Bertram agreed and nodded, “Did Cecil Owen ntion the Desolate Sea Alliance and the Living Beings Sect?”
“He didn’t ntion a word about the Living Beings Sect but said sothing about the Desolate Sea Alliance: This ti the Desolate Sea Alliance is mainly composed of three foreign countries.
We know about Nanni Nation and Taboo Island, and the other one is Bobby Country, a neighbor of the Nanni Nation.”
Owen Bertram frowned thoughtfully.
The environnt surrounding the Wood Dynasty was actually not friendly.
The Nine Witch Demon Court didn’t even need to be ntioned.
The small nations on the east and south had so “great ambitions”, always wanting to grow and strengthen.
When the Wood Dynasty was strong, they naturally submitted obediently, sending tribute to the Wood Dynasty a dozen tis a year, using local junk to exchange for various precious things from the Wood Dynasty.
Once the Wood Dynasty showed signs of weakening, they thought they were wolves, trying to bite off a piece of at from the Wood Dynasty.
This was the case with the Nanni Nation and Bobby Country.
Moreover, Owen Bertram has not forgotten sothing: the Red Race supports the Nanni Nation from behind.
Finally, Rachel said, “That’s all.
Cecil Owen might not have told everything truthfully, but it can still be used as a reference.”
Owen Bertram nodded, “You can take a rest for now.” So Rachel stepped down.
Owen Bertram sat at the table, contemplating a question: Will anyone collude with the Demon Clan this ti?
…
The Great Lake where Cecil Owen had a big battle in the dayti has no na.
Nas are given by people, with very few humans able to co to this place in history, so naturally, no one has nad it.
However, through Magpie’s eyes, Owen Bertram has seen this vast lake and even guessed: this lake should be called the “sea”.
In the dark of night, Cecil Owen stood alone on top of a steep boulder by the lake, wanting to give this lake a na: if any human powerhouses co here in the future, they would rember him when they ntion the lake’s na.
His wounds were not heavy.
During the dayti battle, the Tier-7 Demon Beast didn’t make a move, with the battles confined to the Tier-6 Demon Beasts guarding around the Great Lake.
So he recovered after nine cycles of ditation.
After coming out, he heard Edmund talk about how Rachel and the others had left the ship.
Cecil Owen didn’t ask more.
When they experience the terror of the night in the Extinction Domain, they will naturally co back obediently.
By then, even if they built a makeshift shelter next to his ship, they would not leave.
He walked to the lakeside alone, the great demon beasts from the dayti had retreated back into the water, the moist lakeside still held clear traces of their existence.
Cecil Owen was pondering several nas for the lake, but none of them seed “elegant”.
As he hesitated, he suddenly saw that the lake water and the surrounding land were rged into one!
Cecil Owen was startled.
How could the lake and its bank be connected?
But, the sight in front of him confird it.
A hazy, gray mist rose, covering the surface of the water and land, but they were not rged into one.
“Yin energy!” Cecil Owen understood straight away.
