"Your Highness, you've finally arrived! We've all been waiting for you for so long..."

The old clan chief cried and recounted his story with tears streaming down his face; he was none other than Lidar.

After Zhuoer offered a few words of comfort, the old patriarch Lidar finally stopped crying.

Then Zhuoer asked, "Chief Lidar, how many people from your Blackwater tribe have gone missing so far?"

“Twenty-three people in total,” Liddell said without hesitation.

After a pause, Lidal added, "Thirteen of them are elderly, weak, women and children, and the remaining ten are all able-bodied men. Among those ten able-bodied men, two are martial artists."

Zhuo'er asked again, "Did they all disappear at night?"

“That’s right.” Liddell nodded vigorously.

"Can you take us to the places where those missing people disappeared?" Zhuoer then asked.

Lidar readily agreed, and he led Zhuoer and Yefeng to the tents where the missing people had originally lived.

As soon as Ye Feng entered the tent, he saw many claw marks on the floor inside.

These claw marks are very deep, and it's clear at a glance that they were left by some kind of monster, definitely not by human hands.

Moreover, Ye Feng also sensed faint fluctuations of true energy from these claw marks.

This fluctuation of true energy is the true energy of demonic beasts, not the true energy of human martial artists.

The biggest difference between the true qi of human warriors and the true qi of demonic beasts is that the true qi of human warriors is purer, while the true qi of demonic beasts is impure and mixed.

Because most demonic beasts cultivate through instinct, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Therefore, the process by which demonic beasts transform the spiritual energy they absorb into true energy is not as complex as that of human martial artists. The true energy that demonic beasts extract from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is naturally impure and mixed.

However, because the flesh and blood of demonic beasts are much stronger than those of human martial artists of the same level, although the true energy of demonic beasts is mixed and impure, the amount of true energy of demonic beasts is very large, far exceeding that of human martial artists of the same level.

"Have you noticed anything unusual, Mr. Feng?" Zhuo Er asked.

Night Wind touched the claw marks on the ground and shook his head, saying, "I sensed residual demonic beast energy in these claw marks, which proves that the disappearance of so many people from the Blackwater Tribe is indeed related to demonic beasts. But we cannot determine what kind of demonic beast it is based solely on these traces."

Zhuo Er nodded in agreement; he thought so too.

Afterwards, Yefeng and Zhuoer went to the tents of the other missing persons.

Similar claw marks, and even blood, were found in the tents of other missing persons.

There is no doubt that the blood at the scene of the disappearance was left by the Blackwater tribesmen who were attacked.

They were most likely devoured by that monster, leaving not even a trace of their bones.

“This monster is extremely cunning; it’s definitely not an ordinary monster,” Ye Feng said.

"It seems our mission this time is going to be very difficult," Zhuo Er said with a shrug.

Chief Lidar of the Blackwater tribe said anxiously, "Your Highness Drow, you must help us capture that damned beast and avenge our people!"

“Of course, now that I’m here, I will absolutely not ignore it, Chief Lidar, you don’t need to worry,” Zhuoer said solemnly.

Upon hearing this, Lidar's expression softened considerably.

Suddenly, a young woman ran in from outside and shouted, "Chieftain, the young chieftain has woken up!"

"Lena's awake? That's wonderful!"

Liddall was extremely excited, his face beaming with joy.

Zhuoer asked curiously, "Chief Lidar, is Lena your granddaughter? What happened to her?"

Liddall quickly said, "Your Highness, you may not know this, but my granddaughter Lena was also attacked. However, when that damned monster attacked her, Lena reacted very quickly and immediately shouted for help."

"When we rushed there, only the unconscious Lena was left in the tent, and there was a large hole in the tent. The monster had disappeared without a trace. I suspect that the monster sensed our approach, which is why it abandoned its attack on Lena and fled in haste."

"Lena is the only one who survived among all those attacked by the monsters."

"But Lena was probably really terrified by that monster. She was unconscious for several days and didn't wake up, which worried me a lot. Now that Lena is awake, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

Lidar's face was full of smiles, and he also looked relieved.

Nightwind and Zhuoer exchanged a glance, and then Zhuoer quickly said, "Chief Lidar, take us to see your granddaughter Lena immediately. Since she was attacked by that monster, it means she faced it directly. Perhaps she can provide us with some very valuable clues!"

Upon hearing this, Liddall immediately realized what was happening. Without hesitation, he took Nightwind and Drow to see Lena.

Lena's tent wasn't far from here, and Nightwind and Zhuoer quickly arrived at Lena's tent.

"Lena, are you inside? Prince Drow of the Underworld Sect has come to our tribe. He has some things to discuss with you," Lidal asked from outside.

The tent was very quiet, but after a short while, a young girl's voice came from inside.

"Grandpa, I'm awake now. Please bring them in."

"Okay, okay."

Lidal nodded with a smile.

Suddenly, Ye Feng asked in a low voice, "Chief Lidal, is your granddaughter Lena also a martial artist?"

Lidar paused for a moment, then said, completely bewildered, "No, I wish my granddaughter were a martial artist, but unfortunately she has no talent for cultivation; she's just an ordinary person."

"Oh, I see," Night Wind said with a smile.

Zhuo Er asked telepathically, "Mr. Feng, have you noticed anything amiss?"

The night wind smiled without saying a word.

Seeing that Ye Feng did not answer, Zhuo Er did not say anything more.

Lidar walked into the tent, with Yefeng and Zhuoer following closely behind.

As soon as they entered the tent, Yefeng and Zhuoer saw a young girl lying on a low bed inside.

The girl looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old. She wore a fluffy white hat and a white dress, giving her an immaculate appearance.

Most importantly, the girl's skin was so white that it was almost blinding, and her whiteness had a pale, sickly, and abnormal feel to it.

"She is my granddaughter Lena."

Liddall chuckled and said, then turned to Lena, "Lena, this is Prince Drow of the Underworld Sect, and this is..."

Liddall looked at Night Wind, and it was only then that he suddenly realized that he didn't even know who Night Wind was or what his name was.
