Hearing Tsu'tey's words, Sheyan's eyes shifted, as he immediately used a surprised tone to reply.
"The Omaticaya clan is so formidable, capable of taming ferocious beasts of the skies, and even able to smoothly communicate with Mother Nature Eywa. Yet they still can't deal with the Mosake clan?"
The usually valiant Tsu'tey proudly replied.
"How is that possible? It's extremely difficult for any corrupted clan to obtain Eywa's blessings. Therefore, it's extremely difficult for them to obtain the qualifications to reside in the Hometree. Even if they forcefully occupy the Hometree, it would cause the Hometree to wither and die. (For example, the Kiwatakin clan had massacred the Illinois clan, and was ostracized by Eywa. Therefore, they are unable to tame spirit birds (i.e. ordinary Mountain Banshees, because after taming a Mountain Banshee, it would follow its master to reside in the Hometree). Therefore, how can we, who possess the skies, be unable to defeat them? "
A modern person like Sheyan naturally understood the importance of air supremacy. Hence, he nodded his head in heartfelt admiration. However, Tsu'tey continued.
"However, everything has its pros and cons. Although the corrupted clans don't possess a Hometree, their range of activity has expanded, allowing them to survive in a more arduous environment. Furthermore, they specialize in taming wild beasts, and have grasped extremely cruel methods to control various wild beasts. Therefore, not only did they establish a large scale Armoured Horse Cavalry, there were even more formidable Hammerhead-Titanothere Riders, Sturmbeest Riders, Spinetail Riders, and even some corrupted clan leaders grasped the method to tame the Thanator! "
"Although the Toruk Mato (Phantom Rider) has always been publicly acknowledged as the leader of the Na'vi clan, there have only been 6 Toruk Mato in the entire Na'vi history." Tsu'tey lamented.
"Nevertheless, although the Thanator Beast Riders are exceedingly rare, among all corrupted clans, there would always be one or two major clan leaders who are formidable Thanator Beast Riders!"
At this moment, Sheyan could more or less guess Tsu'tey's next words. Indeed, Tsu'tey sighed and continued.
"Cherokee is a formidable Thanator Beast Rider. However, most of the warriors in our tribe can only ride on direhorses. There are only 20-30 people who can tame spirit birds. Once a battle breaks out, both sides will suffer losses. Therefore, Moya's apprehension is not without reason. "
Sheyan noticed Tsu'tey's melancholy tone, and he still had plenty of alcohol left. Naturally, he hastily took out the remaining bottles of alcohol to coax Tsu'tey. Following that, he took out beef jerky, peanuts and other appetizers, and continued drinking. When Tsu'tey was half-drunk, Jinkuang and Sheyan sang the same tune, and asked about the sacrificial ritual.
As it turns out, although the corrupted Na'vi clans had lost the qualifications to reside in the Hometree, some larger clans had begun constructing their own Temple of Eva, and lived around the temple. The temples constructed by the corrupted Na'vi clans were similar in form to the Mayan pyramids. In order to offer sacrifices, one would have to reach the highest altar of the temple, and sacrifice 23 hearts at once!
The mysterious Golden Side Mission, finally came to light under Sheyan's meticulous probing. It was actually to invade an incomparably powerful large Na'vi corrupted Na'vi clan! Dig out the hearts of their clan leader and at least 22 clansmen, and sacrifice them at the highest altar!
To put it bluntly, this mission didn't require the slightest bit of coincidence. It was simply a clear-cut 'genocide'! Moreover, the might of this corrupted Na'vi clan called the Mosake, was something that even the main storyline's Omaticaya clan was extremely fearful of! Yet more horrifying was the fact that Cherokee was a Thanator Beast Rider of the Na'vi clan, second only to the Phantom Knight!
Since he had killed and devoured the elder brother of the dragon clan's daughter, Moya, his age was definitely not young. The Thanator Beast he was riding was definitely in its prime, and couldn't possibly be a Tier 2 or Tier 3 juvenile Thanator Beast that Sheyan and the rest encountered during the beast tide. Even if it wasn't a Tier 7, it should be at least a Tier 6. If one were to add in those Hammerhead-Titanothere riders, Sturmbeest riders ….. according to such a difficulty calculation, this Golden Side Mission indeed required the concerted efforts of every contestant at the start of this mission!!
Previously, when Sheyan had just entered that valkyrie, he had brazenly slaughtered his way through the cabin of a RDA member. Inside, he had found a diary of the RDA member, which mentioned the Mosake clan. From the looks of it now, he was relatively familiar with the Mosake clan. Moreover, the location of the Mosake clan's residence should be exceedingly clear – Windstone Highland.
At this moment, Mogensha frowned and said.
"Looks like we've been deceived by that Parker. The RDA intelligence he sold us isn't complete, and even the information of those exploration party members weren't recorded down."
Reef shook his head and replied.
"That's not entirely the case. Firstly, we can't eliminate the possibility of the exploration party members concealing secrets. Secondly, the written records of the RDA would usually record down accurate information. Some local legends, anecdotes, and groundless rumors are impossible to record down."
"Thirdly, and also the most important point, the RDA is a commercial company, and definitely isn't some national geographic magazine's staff. Their main focus of work lies in the enormous wealth of the Pandora crystal mine. As for other matters, they would naturally avoid it. According to Tsu 'tey, the corrupted Na'vi clans – actually, the uncivilized Na'vi clans – don't have the authority to reside in the Hometree. Therefore, they aren't linked to the Pandora crystal mine, and naturally wouldn't have detailed information."
At present, no matter if it was Mogensha or Reef, after understanding the details of this Golden Side Mission, they realized its difficulty was indeed as high as a mountain, and they couldn't even see the slightest hope of completing it. With their current limit, they reckoned they could at most contend against a tier-3 legendary creature. If this legendary creature had a Na'vi rider controlling it, then they would only have the fate of being slaughtered.
At present, Sheyan took a deep breath, his eyes brimming with unparalleled excitement and fanaticism. After parting ways with Tsu'tey, he directly pulled out the nearby information and topographic map he obtained from the RDA base. After carefully inspecting it, he tapped on the map and exclaimed.
"Let's head over here first!"
Mogensha and Reef both glanced around, feeling that the topography depicted on the map was exceedingly familiar. After a few more glances, they realized it wasn't far from the 'Valkyrie' ship they used to enter this world. Attentively examining the markings, they couldn't help but cry out involuntarily.
"Isn't this the Takji clan?"
Sheyan nodded, earnestly replying.
"That's right, let's head over there!"
Mogensha and Reef replied in disbelief.
"But ….."
Sheyan chuckled and continued.
"Earlier during the banquet, I've inquired. This Takji clan belongs to the ranks of the 'Sons of Nature'. However, they seem to be related to the Kiwatakin clan, which is on the verge of extinction. That's why they dispatched troops to aid those man-eaters. Your apprehension, isn't it because we've annihilated quite a number of the clan's armed forces? That is precisely the reason why we're searching for them. "
Noticing that Mogensha and Reef seemed to be enlightened, Sheyan earnestly continued.
"We've annihilated quite a number of the clan's armed forces, but the Takji clansmen aren't aware of this fact. Therefore, they can basically treat it as though it didn't happen. At least, that's the rule of this world. Specifically, we've annihilated the 'Valkyrie' RDA members, yet the Hell's Gate RDA still treats us amicably. "
"More crucially, combining the RDA and Omaticaya's intelligence, the second batch of reinforcements dispatched by the Takji clan is much more than what we've imagined. It's estimated to be over a hundred individuals! I'm afraid those hundred individuals have all perished. Because the Takji clan's vitality has been greatly damaged, their entire clan would be in dire need of reinforcements. This signifies a massive amount of missions and opportunities! " ‘
Reef was startled as he asked.
"How is it possible for so many to perish? Even if the destructive force of the Hometree's collapse was exceedingly devastating, it shouldn't be to the extent of annihilating over a hundred na'vis right? "
Sheyan chuckled and replied.
"According to the RDA's intelligence, that night, a magnetic anomaly occurred at coordinates XXX, XXX. Energy was instantaneously amplified to an exceedingly high level, to the extent of incinerating the instruments. Such a phenomenon is known as a magnetic storm, and would normally only occur in the universe. That coordinate coincidentally corresponds to the Hometree we've blown up."
"According to my conjecture, the explosion we designed was most likely a fuse. Most likely, it was closely related to that dying Hometree. On the brink of destruction, it had accumulated an excessive amount of death energy in its long life. Then, it abruptly erupted, triggering a magnetic anomaly in the Pandora mineral deposit! This is also the reason why the Omaticaya clan's Hometree didn't trigger a magnetic anomaly in the original storyline. "
At this moment, Mogensha suddenly asked.
"Boss, do you think we have a chance of persuading the RDA to deal with the Mosake clan?"
Sheyan nodded and replied.
"Yes, but we have to satisfy two conditions. Firstly, we have to convince them that the Mosake clan's territory possesses an astonishing amount of Pandora mineral deposits. Secondly, why was Supervisor Parker unable to resolve his resolve to attack in the original storyline? That isn't because he's kindhearted, but because war is all about money!
