Ye Xi and Mitchell looked at each other as the others left. At this moment, Mitchell realized that Ye Zhen had gone out alone to investigate the situation.
Ye Xi sighed inwardly. The E's Beast truly lived up to its reputation as the most deceptive ancient divine beast. If the same words were spoken by someone else, Yang Tianyou might not have believed them so easily.
"Taishan, you wait for her here. You must bring her back. Lord Mitchell, let's go back and report what happened here to His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor!" Ye Xi said after thinking for a moment.
There's no point in them staying here any longer; they might as well go back sooner so Ye Chen can make a decision quickly.
After all, once Ye Zhen finished surveying the other party's territory, she was going to take this group of people to see their burial ground. But what burial ground did they have? It was more like a fertilizer field!
"Alright!" Taishan nodded. It was perfect for him to come and meet Ye Zhen, as he was holding the Trident of Poseidon. If anything happened, he could take Ye Zhen away with him.
Conversely, while undead creatures can survive on the seabed, their skeletal frames make it extremely difficult for them to move around. Even skeletal dragons, which can fly, are not so convenient to move.
Mitchell nodded in agreement and left with Ye Xi. There was no point in him staying any longer; in fact, it would only provoke the hatred of these undead creatures and lead to a bigger conflict.
On the other side, Ye Zhen was like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, full of curiosity about everything around her, and exclamations of surprise came from time to time, which made Yang Tianyou and others turn their heads. Was it really that amazing?
To be honest, their territory is just a large open space. Undead creatures don't need any place to live; an open space is enough. When they want to rest, they can just dig a hole and bury themselves. It's really kind of Ye Zhen to be so supportive.
The only building in their territory is the central hall, which exists in every territory, though each has a different style; it is the residence of their lord.
However, what's displayed in the main hall is mostly just a coffin. Whether it's a lich, a skeleton king, or a vampire, these creatures usually like to sleep in coffins, which is in line with their undead lifestyle, even though deep down they still consider themselves human.
"Wow~~~ Is this the coffin you usually sleep in? It's black and gold~~~" Ye Zhen exclaimed repeatedly as she lay on Yang Tianyou's coffin lid, as if she were looking at some kind of treasure, and she was almost ready to lick it a couple of times.
The little girl's admiration easily stirred up everyone's pride, and everyone wore a smug look on their faces.
"Tch, what's so special about that? My coffin is made of ten-thousand-year-old redwood, which is a 5th-tier material. His black gold is just a rare 4th-tier material!" the vampire next to him said disdainfully.
Indeed, as he said, although black gold sounds very high-end, it is only a Tier 4 material, just relatively rare among Tier 4 materials.
As for the ten-thousand-year-old redwood, it is a genuine Tier 5 material. If it can grow to 100,000 years old, it can even advance to Tier 6 material. It is a type of wood with a very high potential value, and its value is much higher than that of black gold.
"Really? Can you take me to see it? Wow!" Ye Zhen's face lit up with surprise, and she was about to follow the vampire to see it. However, she had only taken one step when she let out a cry of surprise.
In that split second of turning around, he didn't notice that his right hand had accidentally hit a stone box on top of the coffin, and a small bruise immediately appeared on his hand.
At the same time, Yang Tianyou and the others who saw this scene had a slight change in expression.
"What is this?" Ye Zhen curiously reached out, wanting to open the stone box to take a look. Despite her forceful blow, the stone box did not budge, as if it were fixed to the coffin, yet it did have a lid on it.
Just then, Ye Zhen's outstretched hand was grabbed by a skeletal claw, and Yang Tianyou's sinister voice came to her ear.
"Little girl, it's best not to touch it. Let's go take a look at the vampire's ancient redwood coffin!"
Ye Zhen turned her head, looked at the other party's gloomy gaze, and at the faint killing intent emanating from the surrounding crowd. The little girl blinked her big, watery eyes and smiled sweetly.
"Alright! Let's go see the red cedar coffin!" As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Zhen felt the atmosphere in the entire hall relax, and the feeling of impending doom dissipated.
The girl's innocent smile immediately put everyone at ease, and the group led Ye Zhen out of the main hall and flew towards the vampire's territory.
Unnoticed by anyone, in a corner they weren't looking at, Ye Zhen turned her head and glanced at the main hall again, a captivating smile appearing on her lips.
Two hours had passed since they finished exploring all five territories, and Ye Chen received the news brought back by Ye Xi and Mitchell.
"Truly worthy of being called the E's Beast! It infiltrated the enemy's ranks without anyone noticing, and might even bring us back some local specialties!" Ye Chen exclaimed inwardly, finally gaining a direct understanding of the E's Beast's abilities.
“Indeed, your familiar’s ability is quite peculiar. She only said some ordinary words, which might not have any effect if we said them, but when she said them, they were particularly convincing.” Mitchell nodded, the beast had left a deep impression on his mind.
"Otherwise, it wouldn't be called an ancient divine beast. Although its ranking in terms of strength is somewhat lagging behind, it is still a beast that has done quite a few great things!" Ye Chen said with a light laugh.
The story of the E's Beast is not numerous, and it is not very famous, but it managed to trick the Queen Mother of the West out of three phoenix eggs, the Goddess Houtu out of the mountain-guarding stone, and Hou Yi out of the hemp grass...
No one is as adept at understanding people's hearts and swindling as E Beast, so conning a few new lords who failed to advance is naturally a piece of cake.
"However, I didn't expect that the person below would be Yang Tianyou, and he has the terrifying strength of more than a dozen skeletal dragons. Fortunately, I didn't bring those skeletons down with me!" Thinking of the group of skeletons that I left in Fatty's territory, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart. If I had brought them over, they might have turned against me with just a word.
Sure enough, there's no such thing as a free lunch. The family members that others gave me were nothing but traps!
