Meng Chao had a vague feeling that he had grasped the key to delay the Turan civilization's full-scale war against the Land of Holy Light.
In his previous life, Jackal Canus had obtained invincible power and great prestige by activating the Holy Mountain Temple. From there, he gained the ability to command thousands of orc warriors and lead his army north.
Then, as long as Meng Chao joined Jackal Canus's exploration, he would have a chance to run into the ambitious wolf king.
It had to be known that the current Canus was not the peerlessly powerful Apocalyptic Wolf from his previous life.
He had yet to obtain power from the Holy Mountain Temple. Even if he was the master of the wolves, there was no reason for him to be stronger than the leaders of the lionmen and tigermen.
Once he put on the totem armor and carried Skull Crusher, Meng Chao believed that he could fight against Jackal Canus and change the future!
As for whether he should persuade Jackal Canus to give up on his plan to immediately attack the Land of Holy Light, he should wait for the Ancient Tomb Nobles and the demons from the abyss to start fighting first. Then, the eastern frontlines, where Turan and Dragon City were, could watch the fight from the sidelines and wait for a better chance to deliver the fatal blow.
Or should he just kill the culprit who brought chaos to the Other World and caused great harm to the Turan civilization and Dragon City civilization?
Or should he use his knowledge of the future to discover and activate the Holy Mountain Temple before Jackal Canus?
These questions could be discussed at length when he arrived near Pure Gold City.
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes and studied the shining map carefully. "I noticed that the Turan people's Holy Mountain isn't far from the Golden Clan's main city, Pure Gold City."
"Yes," Ice Storm said.
"The area around the Holy Mountain has always been the place with the richest resources and the richest totem power in all of Turan Lake. It's the most suitable place for meditation and fighting. Over the past millions of years, that place has always been the most prosperous place in Turan. Only the strongest clan has the right to build a city at the foot of the Holy Mountain and live there. This glory naturally belongs to the Golden Clan, which has wolves, tigers, leopards, and golden lions.
"The training before the Battle of Glory, the so-called 'Battle of the Five Clans', basically consisted of the other four clans forming a grand army and marching towards Pure Gold City to challenge the Golden Clan.
"The armies of the five great clans will line up at the foot of the Sacred Mountain, and according to the ancient etiquette that has been passed down for millions of years, they will engage in an upright contest. This will also allow the ancestral spirits that reside on the Sacred Mountain to witness the courage and strength of their bloodline descendants.
"When the victor and loser are decided, the winner and loser will shake hands and make peace. They will drink to their heart's content at the foot of the sacred mountain, sing and dance, and swear an oath of blood. They will form the super allied forces of the five great clans again and head north.
"At that time, after a series of battles, the young warriors of the clan all accumulated abundant battle experience. They also developed mutual trust and tacit understanding about commanding a battle group of tens of thousands of soldiers. That's why the combat ability of Tulan's army could be carried out to the best!
"I understand. Looks like before, before long, Pure Gold City will become a place where heroes gather. All the heroes in Tulan Lake will clash and create the most dazzling sparks …" Meng Chao's mind raced.
Meng Chao's mind raced. He looked at the hailstorm and said, "You mentioned before that your destination is Pure Gold City. If you don't mind, can you tell me just what your goal is? Perhaps I can be of help. "
"You're willing to help me?"
Hailstorm was overjoyed.
Meng Chao wore the Thousand Year Armor and held Skull Crusher. His fighting power was equivalent to Casava Bloody Hoof's.
To Hailstorm, who had two bloodlines, was alone, helpless, and might even be chased down by the Bloody Hoof Clan, there was no better news than Meng Chao's willingness to help.
"I think that we worked well together during the exploration of the Blood Skull Temple."
Meng Chao did not hide his goal. "If there's a chance to continue working with you and explore more temples, I'm naturally willing to attack first and get rid of your worries."
"Alright!"
When he mentioned the Sacred Mountain Temple, Hailstorm saw the light in Meng Chao's eyes. It was a light that was one hundred times more dazzling than Mars.
She knew that this dangerous person with black hair and black eyes would definitely not stop after he tasted the sweetness in the Blood Skull Temple.
But she had no other choice.
Regardless of whether it was the vast Turanze or the vast Land of Holy Light, there was no place for a Child of Taboo with two bloodlines to live.
Unless she could solve all the mysteries and completely fuse the power of totem and the power of holy light, she would be invincible!
"I'm going to Pure Gold City to look for my father."
Hailstorm only hesitated for half a second before she made up her mind.
"Your father is a leopard man warrior?"
Meng Chao asked with bright eyes.
"He is indeed a leopard man, but he shouldn't be considered a warrior. At least, he isn't a traditional warrior. I've never seen him before. In fact, when my mother was pregnant, he left without saying goodbye."
The so-called secret was like a flood that had been accumulating for a long time behind a weak dam.
If there was a crack in the dam, the flood would burst out, and there would be no stopping it.
"As you know, my mother is a witch, and my father is a spy who snuck into the Land of Holy Light. Hehe, a witch and a spy … I don't know how they got together."
Hailstorm had never told anyone these secrets. Once she said it, she felt like talking endlessly.
She took a deep breath and continued, "When I was young, my mother said that my father was a handsome and elegant man. When they first met, my father used the profession of a wandering poet to hide his identity …"
"Wait."
Meng Chao could not help but ask, "Your father, a leopard man, pretended to be a wandering poet?"
"A hairy bard with fangs and claws sounds weird, doesn't it?"
Hailstorm said, "But the people of Turan have a tradition of reciting poems. Many of the burly and murderous warriors can swing their sabers and axes while reciting ancient heroic poems.
"Also, my father seems to be different from normal beastmen. He has a very rare congenital disease, so he has less hair than normal beastmen. His skin is also whiter than other beastmen. With his excellent disguise skills, if he pretends to be a holy light human, it will be hard for others to see through him."
Meng Chao's mind raced.
Actually, based on Hailstorm's appearance, Meng Chao could guess what her father looked like.
Meng Chao originally thought that Hailstorm had the blood of snow leopards flowing in her body, which was why her skin had such a crystal-clear quality.
But by the looks of it now, her father had a genetic defect that was similar to albinism, which was passed down to her. Since she was a mixed-blood, the beastly characteristics on her body were much fewer than that of normal beastmen.
"I never thought about coming to Turan Lake, and I never thought about getting involved with my father. After all, the holy light humans and high-grade beastmen have built up a grudge that's higher than the sky and deeper than that of Eternal Night Abyss over the course of millions of years. Mixed-bloods are never welcomed by either side," Hailstorm said stiffly.
The Ice Storm said stubbornly, "When my mother was pregnant, my father left without saying goodbye, which was already a clear indication of his attitude. How could I expect to acknowledge him as my father and play the 'filial piety of a father' trick?
Meng Chao nodded to show that he understood.
High-grade beastmen had always been indifferent to their children.
Even if their parents were pure-blooded nobles who had lived for more than one thousand years, if their children were too weak and cowardly during their coming-of-age ceremony and brought shame to the family, they would be chased out of the family mercilessly and turn into rat people.
And the mixed-bloods who were related to the holy light humans were even more lowly than the rat people. They could be said to be "evil" existences!
"But three years ago, my mother died. She was killed by the Night Guards, just like the other wizards and witches," Hailstorm said quickly with an expressionless face.
"Everything happened too suddenly, and she didn't even leave behind a single last word. She only left me a few thick research notes, and there were still some information that she had scribbled on the headers and footers. They looked like incomplete diaries.
"Through these research notes, I learned that my mother had been conducting a very mysterious research for decades.
"Even the reason why I can use the power of holy light and totem power at the same time is because she continued her research while she was pregnant, and it affected me while I was still a fetus.
"But in her research notes, she mentioned more than once hysterically that there was an important 'thing' in her research that my father took away, which was why her research was repeatedly thwarted. It was all because she wanted to uncover the most important truth."
"So, you want to take that 'thing' back from my father and continue with my mother's research?" Meng Chao came to a realization.
Icestorm shrugged.
"I didn't inherit my mother's talent, so I'm afraid I can't become a qualified witch. I can only be an ordinary warrior. “
The Ice Storm said, "However, if you want to avenge your mother, the power of an ordinary soldier is far from enough.
"Whether or not I can complete my mother's research is something I have to consider in the future. At the very least, I have to figure out what exactly my father took from my mother back then, and how much this thing has to do with my dual bloodline."
"If that's the case, why don't you just go to Pure Gold City? Even if your father isn't there, wouldn't it be more convenient to go to the Golden Clan's territory and ask about a leopard person?" Meng Chao asked.
"I … I'm not ready."
The Ice Storm hesitated for a moment before he explained, "Before my mother died, I never came to Turanze. Even though I learned a pretty good disguise from my mother, I know nothing about the leopard people's traditions. If I go to Pure Gold City recklessly and see a large number of pure-blooded leopard people, I'll definitely be exposed when they ask about my family lineage.
"Black Horn City is Blood Hoof Clan's territory. Even if there are a few leopard people living there, they're just insignificant people. Besides, most of them have completely abandoned their past identities through the Blood Bestowal Ritual. They won't ask about my background, and even if they do, they have a way to fool them. They can serve as a springboard for me to get used to it for a period of time. I can slowly gather information and learn how to be a real high-grade orc."
