Chapter 366: Chapter 347: Cause and Effect
"What I meant by ’them’ is..."
Brens slowly said, his entire demeanor seemed to be trapped in some kind of memory, his gaze gradually deepening.
But just then, Lin Yi, standing behind Brens, suddenly sprang into action:
"Instant Teleportation"
Switching Weapon
"Arcane Impact"
Lin Yi, wielding Purple Thunder, fiercely stabbed the Longsword into Brens’ back:
"Pshhh"
"-7960"
System: Passive Paralysis Effect triggered, target’s actions restricted, duration 1 second.
"Arcane Mysterious Step"
"-4523"
"-8400" double damage~
A series of damages continued to emerge above Brens’ head. While Lin Yi silently counted down the time for Brens to break free, he never expected Brens would break free prematurely.
Lin Yi’s expression changed:
"Not good!"
Just then, the Jade Qilin beside Lin Yi suddenly erupted, shoving Lin Yi aside, dodging Brens’ sudden attack.
Turning around, Brens’ eyes glinted fiercely as he punched the Jade Qilin:
"Courting death!"
The Jade Qilin was instantly blasted three to four meters away:
"Bang!" a heavy thud rang out.
The Jade Qilin’s body directly smashed into the platform ground, creating a deep pit. Brens then propelled himself toward Lin Yi, sneering:
"Overestimating yourself."
Brens flapped his Feather Wings, diving toward Lin Yi, his fist covered with a layer of milky Light Energy, aimed straight at Lin Yi:
"Go to hell."
Yet, just as Brens thought this punch would completely kill Lin Yi, Lin Yi suddenly vanished before his eyes, resulting in Brens’ punch hitting nothing.
Due to the inertia, after losing his target, Brens’ fist fiercely slammed into the pile of bones at the side.
"Boom!" The pile of bones scattered with a "crash."
Unbeknownst to when, the platform was surrounded by an Energy Shield.
Appearing behind Brens, Lin Yi reached out to the glass-like Energy Shield, which didn’t budge regardless of how much force he exerted.
"Thinking of leaving? Hehe~"
Although he hadn’t managed to kill Lin Yi instantly, Brens didn’t seem anxious as he slowly turned around, a playful expression on his face as he curiously looked at Lin Yi:
"Interesting."
"How did you figure out there was something wrong with me?"
Summoning the Golden Behemoth, Lin Yi remained vigilant, eyeing the Winged Race Elder who had become level 40:
"Your story is well told, but unfortunately, there are quite a few loopholes. Maybe you could improve it next time."
Just as Lin Yi was about to continue summoning the Elf Dragon, it surprisingly failed to summon.
However, Lin Yi merely paused without paying too much attention.
Given the current situation, handling a level 40 BOSS should be more than enough.
Hearing Lin Yi’s words, Brens’ face was full of surprise:
"Loopholes? What loopholes?"
After saying that, he lowered his head in thought, mumbling to himself:
"Impossible, how could there be a loophole? I’ve considered all possible factors!"
Suddenly, Brens looked up at Lin Yi:
"Tell me, was there something I said that was incorrect?"
For someone who believed victory was assured, he didn’t mind wasting some time to see what more this human had to say.
Moreover, regarding everything he just said, Brens believed it was flawless, how could there be loopholes as Lin Yi claimed?
Seeing that Brens had no intention of attacking immediately, Lin Yi found it just what he needed.
Then, Lin Yi looked at Brens with interest:
"Perhaps what you just said is almost impeccable to an outsider like me."
"But!"
Thinking of what he saw when Brens had his back to him, Lin Yi said solemnly:
"I just want to know, as a Winged Race Elder, where did you get the four wings on your back?"
Just now, Lin Yi distinctly noticed that when Brens turned and bent over, there was a pair of small wings hidden beneath his larger wings.
This puzzled Lin Yi, as Krein had previously said that it was impossible for members of the Winged Race to have more than two pairs of wings.
But how could this be explained?
Moreover, it was certain that the miniature wings weren’t there when he was outside earlier.
This indicated that the small wings appeared only after entering this cave.
Lin Yi did not know if his clansmen were aware of this fact, or if the scene just witnessed was due to Brens’ carelessness.
In what seemed like a reasonable situation, there was actually an aura of strangeness and contradictions.
For example, he said those people disappeared hundreds of years ago, but judging by the color of the surrounding bones, they do not seem to be remnants of hundreds of years ago, especially the Winged Race skeleton on the central platform still faintly glimmering with white light.
Moreover, if those people had left hundreds of years ago as he said, then as an Elder, why couldn’t he bury these clansmen who had turned to bone and let them rest in peace?
Instead, they were piled up messily together, and under his seemingly angry expression, there lay a certain indifference and nonchalance.
Instances like these gave Lin Yi an extremely dangerous feeling of this Winged Race Elder.
Keeping to the principle of striking first, that’s why Lin Yi suddenly launched a sneak attack just now.
And Brens’ subsequent reaction nearly confirmed Lin Yi’s suspicions:
"The ’they’ you mentioned actually refers to yourself."
"And what you call ’creating gods’ is actually transforming yourself!"
After reaching this conclusion, Lin Yi suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment:
"In other words, you’ve secretly been using your own clansmen’s lives for experiments, aiming to evolve more wings like the Ancient Divine Race."
"This is what you meant by ’creating gods’. "
When reaching this conclusion, Lin Yi was nearly shattered in disbelief.
And linking it to the mission information he received this time, Lin Yi suddenly looked at this seemingly ’kindly’ Winged Race Elder before him in shock:
"And to cover up this fact, you even conspired with outsiders to stage a play for your clan, so that when someone accidentally discovers this place in the future, you would have a reasonable excuse to explain everything."
"So, the Soul Servant Race Clan Leader Tan Jun stealing the Spirit Awakening Pearl is also related to you, isn’t it?"
Now Lin Yi was very curious:
"Besides Tan Jun, who else was involved in your plan?"
"And what exactly is your purpose in doing all of this?"
If it was just for growing an extra pair or two of wings, there was absolutely no need to do something so insane.
Lin Yi was absolutely convinced that there was definitely more to this matter than what they currently saw.
