"If we want to find the nine-tailed demon fox race, we need to start with those cosmoses.
I assume there will still be traces left behind,"
Elmer explained.
Generally speaking, the creatures from the same race could sense each other's presence for they had
the same blood.
The members of the demonic beasts could easily spot each other through their blood and aura.
"It looks like our only choice,"
Austin responded with a nod.
If he could defeat the leader of the Heaven Beast Valley and Ronnie, he would just break into the
Heaven Beast Valley instead of sneaking in like this.
With Elmer leading the way, they entered a cosmos called the Celestial Snake Cosmos.
Austin, Violet, and Elmer were still mingled with the group of the thunder sheep race.
They had all become slaves of Austin's and they were helping them to blend in.
"This place used to be called the Heavenly Fox Cosmos.
Its universe grade was high. It could be on par with the chaotic ancient kingdom.
In fact, it used to be one of the most powerful cosmoses controlled by the nine-tailed demon fox race.
After they disappeared, the demon snake race took it and gave it a new name—the Celestial Snake
Cosmos,"
Elmer told Austin and Violet through his spiritual sense.
The reason he knew all of this stuff was because Elmer used to be a master of the Heaven Beast
Valley, and masters had to know their territory inside and out.
"This used to belong to us?
I want to kill the demon snake race,"
Violet growled, clenching her tiny fists.
"They are evil, but you'd better not act on impulse.
There are lots of members of the demon snake race living here. Once we cause trouble here, we will
be exposed,"
Elmer reminded Violet through his spiritual sense.
"Violet, don't worry. I will avenge your race one day,"
Austin comforted.
As they wandered, they didn't see any traces of the nine-tailed demon fox race.
But they did discover that most of the worlds, stars, and continents here were heavily secured by the
demon snake race.
It was obviously important to them and they were afraid of being challenged for it.
The aura of the demon snake race filled the entire cosmos, making the group wrinkle their noses in
disgust.
"Violet, did you get anything?
Have you sensed the aura of your kind?"
Austin asked Violet through his spiritual sense.
"I got nothing."
Violet shook her head in disappointment.
"It looks like they have done a lot of work to erase any aura or trace of the nine-tailed demon fox race,"
Elmer said with a sigh.
"Violet, don't worry.
We will keep looking, and soon, we will find out the truth behind the disappearance of your people.
Since you can't sense the aura and traces left by your people, we will use another method.
We will ask the members of the demon snake race about it. They surely know something about that,"
Austin said after a moment of thought.
"What? You want to ask the members of the demon snake race?
Why would they tell us?" Violet asked in surprise.
Elmer frowned in response but he didn't say anything to protest.
"Ha-ha! When they become my slaves, they will tell me everything,"
Austin said with a confident smile.
"Yes, they will!"
Both Violet and Elmer had a change of heart. They had forgotten about this skill entirely.
"Only the leader of the Heaven Beast Valley and Ronnie are threats to me.
I can handle the others without breaking a sweat.
If they don't cooperate, I'll turn all the members of the demon snake race into my slaves,"
Austin declared with a sneer.
"You are
strong enough, Austin.
The Puppet Strings is a secret skill owned by the spiritual race. Before, only the members of this race
could master it.
But you succeeded in harnessing it.
And you made it even more powerful.
With the help of this secret skill, you can do whatever you want in the Heaven Beast Valley!"
Elmer laughed out loud.
"Humph!
The demon snake race is the enemy of our race. We ended up like this because of them.
Master, please help me get even with them,"
Violet requested, looking at Austin with big, begging eyes.
"No problem!
I will beat them all into the ground,"
Austin responded enthusiastically.
"Master, that's so nice of you!"
Violet ran over and grabbed Austin by the arm. She looked up at him, smiling from ear to ear.
The scent of her body filled Austin's nose, and he could feel her smooth skin on his.
Austin shook his head and shoved her away.
"Violet, you are a lady. Behave yourself," he scolded in a low voice.
"Why?
Master, why are you so serious? Are you afraid that I might do something to you?" Violet snapped.
She didn't see any problem in her behaviors.
He ignored her
as the three of them entered a continent with the team of the thunder sheep race.
They unleashed their spiritual senses to check the continent, and found it vast and prosperous.
Most of the creatures that they could see walking or standing around were demon snakes. The smell
was horrendous.
Most of them had turned into a human form.
In addition, almost all the buildings and statues resembled snakes in some way.
In the center of the continent stood a huge statue.
Its lower part was a human being's body and its upper part was a scary-looking snake head. It stuck
out its massive tongue, looking powerful.
"This is the statue of the current leader of the Heaven Beast Valley. He is also the chief of the demon
snake race,"
Elmer told Austin through his spiritual sense.
"I see.
I can sense that he is indeed very powerful."
Austin rested his eyes on the snake's statue.
Although it was just a statue, its power was still overwhelming. The light columns that dangled from it
were formed by the original chaotic laws.
As Austin observed the statue, something disrupted him.
"Oh, no! Leave me alone!"
A scream rang out.
"Ha-ha!
Little beauty, you are just my type.
Stop resisting and come with me. I will treat you well!"
"What a good day! I didn't expect to encounter such a pretty one!
I will have a good time with her today!"
Several male voices reached Austin's ears.
He unleashed his spiritual sense to check what was happening. In the middle of a busy street were five
strong men. They had surrounded a panic-stricken girl in front of a tavern.
The little girl was about fifteen years old.
She was good-looking but way too young to be harassed by these men.
"Ha-ha! Sweetie, you're lucky to meet us.
Do you know who we are?
I am Craig, the fourth generation of the demon snake race.
I bet you know how powerful our race is.
Little beauty, stop resisting.
Come with us and serve us. We will provide you with a comfortable life.
As long as you say yes, we will give you more than you could ever earn by singing in this tavern."
One of the strong men laughed.
"This little girl is from our race!"
Suddenly, Violet's voice rang out in Austin's Soul Sea.
