CHAPTER 387: CHAPTER 32: XINGLUO MINE

Unlike Dark Practitioners, Half-beasts are descendants of Ancient High-level Dark Beasts, possessing the wisdom of the Human Race, yet they understand the Heaven and Earth Laws even better than humans.

Most Half-beasts bear the traits of both humans and beasts, and for most of the time, they exist in human form. They are born with talents that humans do not have, such as those of an Array Master, Prophet, and Artifact Craftsman, and their ability to manipulate the Five Elements and control time, wind, thunder, and lightning far exceeds that of ordinary Dark Practitioners.

However, there’s one thing, they do not wield Dark Energy, like Qian Luo, who has a high talent for space.

The Qian Family that Qian Luo was born into is a High-level Dark Beast family with the bloodline of the ancient Silver Winged Sky Bat.

Most of the people in the family have silver hair, silver eyes, pointy ears, along with a slender tail and silver-white bat wings.

Qian Luo alone was born with black hair and black eyes, and on her bat wings, there are also strange Beast Patterns.

In the eyes of the Silver Bat Clan, only the lowest-grade unpurified bats are black.

Because of this, and because she is the ill-omened twin sister born late at night, she has been disliked by her family since she was young and has always depended on her sister, Qian Mi.

It was not until they were six years old that they were baptized by the High Priest of the clan.

At six years old, every member of the Silver Bat Clan awakens their intrinsic Half-beast talents.

As twin sisters, Qian Luo and Qian Mi were no exception.

"My sister awoke the talent of a Prophet, while mine was the talent of an Array Master. Because of this, our family finally accepted us again. I followed the clan’s Array Masters and studied various Arrays until I was thirteen. Once, a young Forest Priest harassed my sister, and in my anger, I cursed him. Little did I know that overnight, that Priest suddenly died violently. After several more incidents, my curses all came true. That was when I realized, as a twin, a second talent lay dormant within me, that of an Evil Curse Master." Qian Luo’s eyes brimmed with tears; her birth was already a bad omen, but fate turned this ill omen into a complete disaster.

The Silver Bat Clan could not tolerate Qian Luo, and the families of those she had cursed swore to burn her alive.

"I do not wield Dark Power, nor do I have other skills. I could only escape the clan with my sister’s help, but those people pursued us relentlessly. Eventually, I was captured. The clan’s priests sealed my cursing ability with a Spell, tied me to the sacred altar, and were ready to burn me alive that night. The fire was fierce, and I could feel my soul consumed by the beast fire. However, I did not die. I woke up again. It was then I learned that it was not just me who had a second talent, my sister used her own second talent - Reincarnation, to save my life, but in doing so, she paid the price with her own life."

Despairing Qian Luo had originally wanted to end her own life, but alongside her, she found a Sound Transmission Spell, "My sister told me to leave the Bilun Continent. She asked me not to lose heart. She said on the Eastern Continent, there exist ancient Summoners. As long as I found a Summoner and used the Summoning of the Undead, she could be resurrected, and then we could live together again."

To save her sister, Qian Luo drew a Transmission Array and left the Bilun Continent for the Eastern Continent she had never set foot on.

However, after arriving on the Eastern Continent, she discovered that the Eastern Continent, which had been separated from the West Continent for nearly ten thousand years, had undergone earth-shattering changes.

The decline of the Summoner families, the rise of Dark Practitioners, and the continent no longer had any Summoners.

"I didn’t give up and kept searching for traces of Summoners, but the Blood Curse cast on me by the clan’s Priest would act up every few days. Each time it flared up, I would turn into a half-bat and needed a large amount of raw blood and flesh to prevent the Blood Curse from devouring me." With the will to live to save her sister, Qian Luo finally reached Five Saints Town, where she inadvertently tangled with the people from the Inspection Team.

After being injured, she managed to reach Mazaro Mountain with the help of a Dark Array.

In the vicinity of Mazaro Mountain, she, whose spiritual power cultivation was also extraordinary, sensed a strange and powerful force.

""

The force was attracting her to continue upwards on the mountain, but halfway through, the blood curse on her body acted up again, and she had no choice but to hide in the breeding farm.

Qian Luo finished speaking, and from behind her clothing, a "clack clack" sound rang out as a pair of black bat wings opened, indeed covered in blood-colored curses that Yue Jinghua couldn’t understand—arcane and obscure—which were evidently the prohibitions sealing Qian Luo’s talent as an Evil Curse Master.

Qian Luo’s sister had the talent of prophecy; she instructed her younger sister to head to the Eastern Continent surely for a reason.

She must have predicted that in the Eastern Continent, there would be someone who could give the sisters a new lease on life, and could that person be herself? Yue Jinghua wasn’t sure of this, but at least for now, she could use her own power to protect Qian Luo.

Even with her Evil Curse Master’s talent sealed away, Qian Luo’s talent in arrays is enough to astonish Yue Jinghua.

"You said you also felt the powerful presence from Mazaro Mountain, is it at the peak?" With the Mercenary Inspection Team and the Centipede Worm already eliminated, the place where Yue Jinghua and Qian Luo stood was right in the center of the Heavenly Pit of Mazaro Mountain.

After the Centipede Worm had died, the colorful poisonous mist it had released while climbing out also dispersed, leaving behind a cave of unpredictable depth at the very center of the Heavenly Pit.

Standing by the cave, Yue Jinghua could smell the dampness coming from beneath the earth.

"Prohibitions have been set up here," true to being a talented Half-beast Array Master, Qian Luo walked around the Heavenly Pit a bit and quickly detected the method to the prohibition set up around the pit.

She muttered incantations, and from her fingertips, she flicked out a few strands of spatial-temporal power.

Puff—puff, several inconspicuous clusters of grass and stones within the pit were blasted away.

Once the clusters of grass and stones were flung aside, Yue Jinghua felt the scenery around her suddenly change.

The starry sky disappeared, the Heavenly Pit was gone too.

All that remained was a splendor of mesmerizing, radiant colors.

Where is this?

What came into sight was a spacious underground cavern, within which were several winding paths—likely traces left by the Centipede Worm as it moved around.

On the floor of the cavern lay a layer of Star Fall Salt as fine as snow.

The walls of the cavern were full of Star Falling Stones of all sizes, many shaped like goose eggs; some hung upside down like stalactites, while others broke from the earth like bamboo shoots revealing their delicate tips, and some even hung like ice crystals from a winter eave, slender and long, that produced a crisp sound when touched lightly.

What was most precious was that in this cavern, the Star Dark Power was extremely abundant, even richer than in Mo Xi’s Sea of Consciousness by dozens of times.

Upon realizing she had found a natural vein of Star Falling Stone in the cavern, Yue Jinghua’s heart filled with uncontrollable joy.

"Ao ao, ugly, quickly walk to the front, to the front," the chrysanthemum birthmark on the Gold Eater Worm shone with a brilliance like never before.
