Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master -
Chapter 772 The Myriad Spirit Tomb
Juey was held at knifepoint by Queenie. With the tip of the dagger pointed at her face, a bit of uneasiness ran through her body. But still, Juey remained calm and composed.
"Queenie, you are going too far. If the chief finds out, I won't be able to protect you," Lucas said in a reproachful tone. They didn't mean to come to the Magical Beast House; they were just on tour and happened to pass by. They didn't want to expose their identities, but they also didn't expect that the Xiao Clan would be so rude to them
Queenie had the hobby of threatening and pushing people around, even powerful ones, which made her known as "Miss Troublemaker." But because she was the second daughter of the powerful Cao Clan, no one dared to fight back. The only person who could afford to do so was the clan chief herself.
"Master, I know what to do. Let me have some fun first, and then we'll go to the Black Sand Abyss and find the legendary Myriad Spirit Tomb," Queenie said. She seemed to have thought of something and her face flushed with excitement.
“Black Sand Abyss? Myriad Spirit Tomb?" Standing in the dark, Rocky rattled his brain trying to think what these two places were. He knew he had already heard of the Myriad Spirit Tomb, but he couldn't seem to recollect the memory.
Rocky reached into his carry-on bag to get a small, folded parchment. He quickly spread out the parchment on which there was a painting that seemed like a treasure map. The patterns on the painting vaguely represented a terrain. A line ran through one end of the map to the northern, top part of it. On top there was a cross with three words faintly written. Rocky could barely make out the words, but he was certain they read "Myriad Spirit Tomb."
“This girl referred to the Myriad Spirit Tomb. Is it the same one on the map? Does it mean that the treasure map is actually leading to the Black Sand Abyss?’ Rocky thought to himself. He was greatly surprised. He found the treasure map along with the Dragon Flame Pearl and the secret manual on spiritual martial arts. He didn't pay the map much attention until now, because he thought it led to nowhere. He wasn't sure where the map pointed to or what it was for. It was only when he heard what the girl said that he figured out that the map was actually leading towards the Black Sand Abyss.
While Rocky was thinking about the map and where it led to, Queenie pulled out a tendon from her bag. The tendon was slender and resilient, but looked firm and tenacious like a whip. She then revealed the tendon to the people of the Xiao Clan and then said with a devilish smile, "This is a tendon. If anyone one of you can tell me which spirit-manipulated beast this came from, I will let her go. But if you can't, then it's your fault for what's going to happen to her." She then pretended to cut Juey's face with her dagger.
All the members of the Xiao Clan stood there, looking at each other hoping that one might have the answer.
Though Juey often went out to hunt beasts, it was her first time seeing this kind of tendon. She tried to think about it first, but after no answer popped in her head, she looked to see if any of the other members had the answer. To her dismay, she was greeted by the grim expression on each of their faces. She knew she was in trouble. Juey couldn't help but look at her father with some resentment. She felt like she was being abandoned. Raef never let Mary suffer this kind of humiliation. They were both his daughters, and yet why didn't he do anything?
But no matter how much she hated her father, she knew that the fact couldn't be changed. She was like an abandoned child. Deep down inside, she had already known this since she was a kid, and she just didn't want to admit it. But now she was completely wakened up from her dream.
"Hmm...it seems none of you knows the right answer. This is getting really boring." Queenie shook her head and turned to Raef. "Chief Raef, please don't blame me for what I'm about to do to your daughter.”
"If hurting her can please you, then do it," Raef said painstakingly. He took one look at Juey before averting his eyes. He knew he had to abandon her for the sake of the clan.
"Father..." Mary couldn't believe her father said that. After all, Juey was her sister. When she was about to open her mouth to protest, Raef shook his head. She hesitated for a moment but then gave up.
At the same time, all the other members of the Xiao Clan, including Travis, couldn't seem to look at her. They didn't seem to care about Juey.
Juey sneered in disgust upon seeing this. She felt dejected, so she closed her eyes and calmly said, "Miss Queenie, just do it."
"I really didn't expect that the Xiao Clan members would be so timid. Do you really think that I will not hurt her?" It never occurred to Queenie that Raef would simply roll over and let her hurt his daughter without even pleading. Even she sneered in disgust. But she still held the dagger tightly against Juey's face, still trying to provoke the Xiao Clan members.
Just when they thought Juey was about to be disfigured by Queenie, a deep cold voice suddenly echoed in the area. "Isn't that just a tendon from the Heavenly Wing Fish? That beast is not something rare.”
As soon as the voice came out, all eyes were immediately drawn to it, including Queenie's and Lucas’.
Instead of being angry, Queenie's beautiful face showed a flash of surprise. She didn't expect anyone to give the right answer. The tendon did come from a spirit-manipulated beast named the Heavenly Wing Fish that lived in a secluded and mysterious place deep underwater. This made the Heavenly Wing Fish very rare, and only a few knew where it lived. Even the best-known beast evaluators across the Wild Spirit Land might not have seen one before.
"Rookie?" It was a very familiar voice for Juey. When she opened her eyes, she saw Rocky walking towards her. A sudden feeling of relief washed over her. However, she found that the man standing in front of her was different from the one she met before. His eyes were cold and scary.
"Who are you? How do you know this is a tendon of the Heavenly Wing Fish?" Queenie was doubtful that this man was a member of the Xiao Clan. After all, she believed it was impossible for any member of the Xiao Clan to know about the existence of the Heavenly Wing Fish.
