CHAPTER 900: CHAPTER 641: BLACK FOREST

"Changpan Valley?"

Zhi Shiyi and Zuo Shiyi paused slightly, not quite understanding the words of the Eternal Night Demon King.

"Lord Divine Lord, what’s wrong with Changpan Valley?" Zuo Shiyi asked in confusion.

They have always been thoroughly familiar with the situation in Changpan Valley, a place where humans are kept in captivity, their lives confined there, and constantly watched by the Moon Pupil in the sky, leaving no movement unnoticed.

Zhi Shiyi extended a finger, a white glow emanating from the fingertip, gradually spreading to form a white ring of light. Through this ring, the scene of Changpan Valley appeared before their eyes.

This was the perspective of the Moon Pupil. Through the two moons in the sky, every corner of the Moon God Race’s territory could be monitored. Usually, members of the tribe would patrol the territory through the Moon Pupil to ensure everything was fine.

At the moment, harmony reigned in Changpan Valley. Women washed clothes and cooked meals, handling the meat brought back from hunting. Children ran around the valley, happily comparing their moonprints on their wrists. Two little boys even argued incessantly over whose moonprint was prettier and who was more favored by the Divine Lord.

As for the teenagers of age and those adult men who were not out hunting, they were earnestly practicing boxing in the martial training field.

Everything in Changpan Valley was completely normal.

"The humans of Changpan Valley are earnestly training, striving to expand the moonprints on their arms, cultivating offspring for us. There should be nothing wrong, right?" Zhi Shiyi confirmed several times before speaking.

The power of the Eternal Night Demon King also fell upon the light ring, scoffing coldly, "These few tribe members that died had never offered an offering!"

"Never offered an offering?"

Zhi Shiyi was startled and said, "Lord Divine Lord means— these tribe members are not yet of age, but that’s not right; these bodies are adults... Could it be, those who were killed were the batch participating in this year’s coming-of-age ceremony?"

The Moon God Race had thousands of members, and Zhi Shiyi and Zuo Shiyi couldn’t possibly know every tribe member, so identifying deceased members by appearance was impractical. It was usually determined by consuming brain pulp memory to identify who killed them.

Yet the power of the Eternal Night Demon King was evidently superior to theirs, capable of determining who had never offered an offering.

Those members who had never offered offerings were basically all minors; this batch was just adults. Given the current timing, those who hadn’t offered and were killed could only be those participating in the coming-of-age ceremony!

"How is that possible? Those participating in the coming-of-age ceremony, even if their strength was poor, couldn’t possibly be slaughtered by humans so thoroughly."

Zuo Shiyi still found it hard to believe this fact. If one or two were killed, even seven or eight, or a dozen, she wouldn’t have cared, let alone felt pity for these tribe members.

To be counterattacked and killed by these feeble humans of Changpan Valley, these tribe members were a disgrace even if alive.

But being slaughtered over a hundred and fifty, the situation was very unusual!

"Something is off in Changpan Valley," said the Eternal Night Demon King.

"Something off?"

Zuo Shiyi and Zhi Shiyi looked at the situation in Changpan Valley again, but everything was perfectly normal, exactly as they knew Changpan Valley to be.

They observed for a long time and could not find anything out of place.

"After these humans held a funeral under my statue, the Moon God Flower on the mountain should have absorbed the humans’ mournful emotions and grown an inch. However, the Moon God Flower here has no growth."

"The Moon God Flower?"

Zhi Shiyi and Zuo Shiyi were startled!

Only then did they realize!

Every year, over a thousand hunters from the human race attend the Meng Dong hunt, and some of these hunters are slaughtered to provide offerings for those participating in the coming-of-age ceremony to obtain the power of the Yellow Spring.

In previous years, once there were excessive casualties in Changpan Valley, a funeral would be held to mourn their kin!

Because those slaughtered humans were devoured by the Yellow Spring, leaving no bodies, the people of Changpan Valley would gather at the Divine Lord statue on the mountain for a communal mourning, laying out various sacrificial tools, placing the head of pigs, cattle, and sheep as offerings in the altar.

And the Moon God Flower growing around the statue is a very special plant that specifically absorbs sorrowful emotions to grow, but it doesn’t grow too much at once.

Even those humans weren’t aware of this!

Zhi Shiyi and Zuo Shiyi silently cursed their carelessness!

They had overlooked this matter. There were indeed traces of a funeral mourning in Changpan Valley, but the Moon God Flower did not grow!

"It’s my negligence, I will investigate this matter immediately," said Zhi Shiyi.

"I will go too," added Zuo Shiyi.

"There’s no need; Zhi can go alone. Zuo, go and patrol this Yellow Spring sea region with Dui."

The voice of the Eternal Night Demon King rang out again.

Zuo Shiyi was puzzled: "Patrol the Yellow Spring sea region?"

"Perhaps it’s my illusion, but I feel something has intruded here," said the Eternal Night Demon King.

"How could something intrude here? This is the Yellow Spring," questioned Zuo Shiyi, doubtful.

The Yellow Spring is extremely perilous. Without a certain level of strength, the strong Yellow Spring creatures alone were enough to prevent any cultivator from entering.

"Are you questioning me?" the Eternal Night Demon King said coldly.

Zuo Shiyi immediately bowed her head in panic, "I wouldn’t dare, I will comply immediately!"

Quickly, Zhi Shiyi and Zuo Shiyi set off, acting separately, leaving only the strong force of the Eternal Night Demon King wandering around the island’s edge, seemingly searching for something.

After a while, he snorted coldly, and suddenly a fierce wind whipped up around the island, causing the Yellow Spring seawater to roar loudly, then rising to form a colossal wall of waves, engulfing the entire island as if sealing it in.
