"grandmother!"
Inside the Holy City's Soul Branch Hall, Chen Ying'er pushed open a door with a hint of excitement.
At this moment, in a bedroom decorated entirely in girly pink.
A woman with a full head of silver hair was looking at her wardrobe full of princess dresses and was caught in a dilemma.
This person was none other than Chen Ying'er's grandmother, the Third Water Deputy Hall Master of the Soul Temple.
Upon seeing Sanshui, Chen Ying'er said somewhat anxiously, "Grandma, I have something I want to ask you!"
"Sakura! You're back just in time! Come try on my new dress!"
Before Chen Ying'er could react, Sanshui took out a pink dress from the wardrobe and held it up against Chen Ying'er.
In response to the woman's actions, Chen Ying'er said in a slightly coquettish tone, "Grandma, I need to talk to you—"
"What's up?"
"What's up?"
Sanshui looked puzzled. These past few days, Chen Ying'er had unusually pulled her aside to ask her all sorts of questions, all about cultivation.
Faced with Sanshui's question, Chen Ying'er said directly, "Grandma, I remember that some summoners who have transformed into demonic beasts occasionally appear in our Soul Temple—"
Before Chen Ying'er could finish speaking, Sanshui's face immediately darkened.
"Who told you all this?"
"Huh?" Chen Ying'er was stunned for a moment when she saw Sanshui's face change so quickly. She had never seen her grandmother so serious before.
However, I still subconsciously said, "I saw them when I was a child, but strangely, these people disappeared after a while—"
"These matters concerning Ying'er are top secrets of the Soul Temple; you absolutely must not tell anyone outside!"
Chen Ying'er frowned, her eyes full of confusion, and said, "Why can't I say? I think beast transformation is great! After transforming, you not only gain the power of a beast, but it can also make up for the summoner's own shortcomings!"
Sanshui remained silent for a long time before finally letting out a long sigh and saying, "Ying'er, things aren't as simple as they seem. After a summoner transforms into a magical beast, although they can master some of the abilities of magical beasts, their consciousness will be gradually replaced, eventually losing their human-like cognition and becoming a complete magical beast!"
"The reason you haven't seen those monsterized summoners anymore is because they all chose to end their own lives—"
Sanshui's words struck Chen Ying'er's young heart like a heavy hammer blow.
"Why did this happen—" Chen Ying'er asked after a long while, still in shock.
"We made a pact with the Beast God to summon magical beasts to fight for us, but some summoners never regarded their summoned creatures as partners, resulting in the deaths of many magical beasts and incurring the curse of the Beast God. This is why their bodies show the characteristics of those dead magical beasts —"
"At first, your grandfather and I also tried to turn this curse into combat power, but unfortunately, we couldn't do it. Once the body is completely beast-like, then the consciousness as a human will also be completely lost—" Sanshui sighed and continued, "Moreover, in recent years, more and more summoners in the Soul Temple have become beast-like, and even some summoners who regard their summoned creatures as partners have also shown signs of becoming beast-like—"
"Perhaps one day in the future, even I will not be able to escape the fate of becoming a beast—"
At this point, Sanshui looked at Chen Ying'er earnestly and said, "Ying'er, what we discussed today must not be spread, otherwise the Soul Temple will face annihilation—"
Chen Ying'er understood the seriousness of the matter; once this was made public, no one would choose the Summoner profession in the future.
How could this happen?
Chen Ying'er was in immense torment. She had thought she had found another way, but to her surprise, it turned out to be a dead end.
Seeing Chen Ying'er's dejected expression, Sanshui couldn't help but comfort her, "Don't worry, your grandfather and I are already thinking of a solution. We'll find one eventually, and the Beast God won't truly abandon us—"
Chen Ying'er nodded and said no more.
Although she usually seemed carefree and lively, she understood that Sanshui's words were just to comfort her. If things were really as easy to resolve as Sanshui said, they wouldn't have escalated to this point.
"I want to rest for a bit. I have to go out on a mission with the regimental commander tomorrow."
After saying that, Chen Ying'er walked towards her room.
at the same time.
Inside the priest's temple, Lin Feng also told Ruoshui about his upcoming trip to the Demon Realm.
However, this was met with strong opposition from Ruoshui.
As news of the bounty placed on Lin Feng by the Heavenly Demon Clan gradually spread.
Upon hearing that Lin Feng was going to carry out a mission in the heart of the Demon Realm, Ruoshui was naturally extremely worried.
However, he couldn't resist Lin Feng's insistence.
Four days later————
The team that had originally accepted the mission to explore the Cave of Fear and Howl finally returned after a long delay.
However, the original six-person demon hunter team has now been reduced to only one person.
According to the survivors, the manager on the second floor of the Demon Hunter Tower also re-evaluated the mission level for exploring the Cave of Fear and Howl, directly upgrading it from General level to King level!
Upon learning that the mission had been taken over by a general-level demon hunter team, the manager on the second floor of the Demon Hunter Tower, faced with the choice between protecting his own job and the safety of the general-level demon hunter team, chose his job and suppressed the matter.
Han Qian and other high-ranking officials were completely unaware of this. The mission Lin Feng and his team received was not a general-level investigation mission, but a king-level investigation mission.
Due to the long journey, after four days of bumpy travel, Lin Feng and his group finally arrived at Starseeking City, which is not far from the border between humans and demons!
Windesa Hotel, Star City.
"Sir, this is the most famous hotel in Xunxing City."
"9
Lin Feng got off the carriage and tossed a gold coin to the coachman.
"Keep the change, please."
The elderly driver's eyes lit up when he saw the gold coins in his hand. After thanking him again, he quickly drove away, as if afraid that Lin Feng would change his mind.
At this moment, Wang Yuanyuan and the others also got off the carriage.
Wang Yuanyuan, a member of the Warrior's Temple, looked at Lin Feng with a hint of doubt and said, "Commander, the Southeast Fortress is only three hundred miles away. Why don't we set off directly from the Southeast Fortress to the heart of the Demon Realm?"
Born in the Southeast Fortress, Wang Yuanyuan was quite familiar with the surrounding area. In addition, the Southeast Fortress was a pass guarded by the Temple of Warriors, so she naturally had the idea of going back to take a look.
Faced with Wang Yuanyuan's suggestion, Lin Feng looked at the brightly lit restaurant in front of him, whose architectural design was obviously more exquisite than the surrounding buildings and which bore the Moonlit Chamber of Commerce's mark, and slowly said, "Because I need to see an old friend and ask her to take us to the heart of the Demon Realm."
Everyone was somewhat surprised when they heard Lin Feng's words.
Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, Lin Feng chuckled and said, "Let's go inside and talk about it first."
After saying that, Lin Feng walked into the hotel lobby. However, as soon as Lin Feng stepped into the hotel lobby, a beautiful woman came up to him.
"Your Highness Lin Feng, the master has been waiting for you for a long time."
"The rooms for our guests have been arranged."
