Death… And Me

Chapter 2727  Exchanging Ring

Fafa sighed in relief and quickly spread her wings, taking flight and carrying Sonzei. Kentucky did the same as Rean jumped on his back. The group then flew into the gap between the two seas.

"The first place we are going is the exchanging ring," Sonzei explained.

"Exchanging Ring?"

Sonzei continued as he nodded his head. "Yes. As the patriarch explained to you, the Mirror Sea isn\'t exactly dangerous, so quite a few other tribes took residence inside. It has its own islands, and one of them is the Exchange Ring. The oddity about this Island is that the waters of both seas form a ring above the Island itself."

Fafa flew at a speed she could keep her reserves of Divine Energy while still being fast. Kentucky, of course, didn\'t even need to use his DIvine Energy. With his strength alone, he could easily follow her, creating powerful gusts of wind every time he flapped his wings.

It took them two hours to fly to the Exchanging Ring. As they got close, they started to see more cultivators flying in the same direction, seeming to come from several different sides. Finally, the sight of the Island in the distance appeared in front of their eyes.

"Oh! That reminds me of your Floating Islands of Time, Kentucky," Rean commented as he looked at the Island.

"That definitely seems similar," Kentucky agreed, although the Islands of Time should have lost most of their power by now.

The Island in the distance was floating in between the two seas. The Mirror Sea was supposed to have just a few meters separating each other. However, the two seas opened as they approached the Island, creating a big gap in between. As for the Ring of Water, the Island indeed had such a thing. The waters of both seas converged into a ring and circled between the two sides. It kept spinning around the island itself but didn\'t touch it.

Seeing they were getting close, Kentucky suppressed his bloodline to not scar the other Demon Beasts. Their group then descended, landing in front of what seemed to be a big city of cultivators and demon beasts.

Rean\'s group then walked through the city as the experts from everywhere seemed to conduce trades right and left. Nothing really caught Rean\'s eyes, but he liked this kind of outpost place in the middle of nowhere.

"Sonzei!" It was then that someone approached.

An old woman, followed by a few other people came to Sonzei, all displayed happy expressions. "Sonzei! When did you come back?"

Sonzei scratched the back of his head as he cast an apologetic expression to Rean.

Of course, Rean definitely didn\'t mind such things. "Are they your acquaintances? I feel the same bloodline in them, although they are much thinner."

Sonzei nodded as he introduced these people. "Yes, Rean. This here is Lady Daboanta. She is an elder of my tribe. The others are also members of my tribe who probably came with her to experience the outside." Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn

Seeing the respect that Sonzei treated Rean, Daboanta immediately thought he had something to do with the Blanvie Clan. It\'s just that she couldn\'t see Rean\'s cultivation at all. "Hello, sir. I hope our Sonzei isn\'t causing you any trouble."

Rean shook his head. "He is being extremely helpful. No wonder the patriarch of the Blanvie Clan indicated him to be my guide here in the Mirror Sea."

Daboanta\'s smile increased after receiving confirmation of her suspicions. "Then you couldn\'t go worse indeed. Sonzei is just a brat who barely stopped peeing on his bed, but he did grow in this Mirror Sea. He knows it as well as any other older member of our tribe."

"Elder!" Sonzei grew a little red. No grown man would like to be treated like that in front of others, especially someone like Rean and Kentucky.

Daboanta shrugged her shoulders, completely ignoring Sonzei\'s cry. "Is there anything I can help you with? Since the Blanvie Clan took our Sonzei, our lives have improved a lot, so we owe them a lot, too."

Their tribe lived in the Mirror Sea, but they weren\'t considered big or anything. Having Sonzei enter the Blanvie Clan was the same as gaining their protection. Of course, it didn\'t mean they could go around and act as they pleased, but no one would touch them lightly either.

Rean pondered a bit and pointed at the Mirror Sea. "Do you know why the two seas open around this Island or why the Ring of Water formed?"

"This..." Daboanta showed an apologetic expression. "Unfortunately, no one really knows why it happened. There are many other islands like this one, but they are a mystery for us all."

Rean continued to smile. "It\'s fine. This is just a curiosity of mine. I\'m not from this continent, after all."

Rean then looked at Kentucky. "What about you? Do you feel any rare material on this Island?"

Kentucky shook his head in his humanoid form. "You know that my bloodline only reacts to materials that can improve my bloodline, so I can\'t be certain. However, at least I can\'t feel anything that fits my Minokawa Bloodline."

"Guess it isn\'t that easy," Rean sighed. Then, he thought of something and looked at Sonzei and Daboanta. "By the way, it is obvious that this Island has some effect in the Mirror Sea. Could it be no one ever tried to excavate it, try to take it away, or something like that?"

Daboanta thought about it and had an idea. "I\'m not sure, but you can probably find more information about it in the information trading center here on the Island. As long as you can pay their price, that is."
