Book 8: Chapter 110: Nine (2)
Nine laughed once more. “Is this some sort of comedy skit? You? Lift the curse that’s plagued my Clan since the dawn of time? Who do you think you are to solve a problem my Clan couldn’t?”
‘Did you not do your due diligence before coming here? Are you not aware of who my wife is? If you want even a fraction of a chance, do you think BPA will be the one to provide it?’
Nine froze. It was only now she remembered the details of the mission. She had been so blinded by her rage and pride that she almost forgot what her original purpose here was.
They weren’t even here to stop the Jafari Clan Treasure, they were here for the sole purpose of bringing the Rainbow Kun Peng to their side. They believed that their powers of illusion magic would become a key cog in fulfilling their hopes of grasping a foothold for beasts in this martial world. In truth, the numbered warriors were only using attacking the treasure as a distraction from their true goal.
According to the information, their enemies in this quest were Alexandria Snow and whatever potential powerhouses were backing her Elvin Kingdom. This was why it was pegged as such a difficult mission from the very beginning.
There was no way that the Elvin Queen would be without protection. The only reason they didn’t send even stronger numbered warriors was because they didn’t think that a fallen Elvin Clan would still have such trump cards left. Plus, there was also the fact that their stronger numbered warriors headed off to the Conference. They couldn’t participate even if they wanted to.
Unfortunately, it was this that truly scared Nine. She was the highest ranked numbered warrior remaining, meaning it was her choice to accept and follow through on the mission. There was no one else above her to blame. This would make her punishment even worse… She might even be crippled… Or killed…
Because of the limit of the Dream Panthers, not to mention their even worse than normal reproductive rate, even in comparison to other dao experts, their value was seen as less than in BPA.
While Nine only led a group of less than a dozen Dream Panthers, the other numbered warriors had Clans populated with several million to even billion. As a result, while BPA had to worry about backlash from whole Clans while dealing with other numbered warriors, the impact of Nine’s Clan in the grand scheme was worse than negligible.
This aside, the most important point here was who this mission was about: Alexandria! The Elvin Queen! Also known as the Beast Queen…
The elves were known for relying on their beast companions to gain their abilities, but it was also true that their beast companions relied on them as well. If this relationship wasn’t symbiotic, why would any beasts remain loyal to the elves? Their beast nurturing abilities were unmatched…
‘So you understand now, hm? There’s only one path left forward for you, don’t you think?’
“You want to give up my pride for a chance?”
‘I hear the Dream Panther’s rate of reproduction is poor.’ Dyon suddenly said, causing Nine to freeze once more. ‘No, saying it’s just poor doesn’t do it justice. It wouldn’t even be enough to say that you’re an endangered species. I wonder if BPA cares very much about your opinion considering how small your population is.’
Now that Ri knew what race of beasts Nine was a part of, feeding Dyon information was far easier. Then, it was just up to Dyon to use this information.
Normally, he would have ignored this bit. After all, all supreme grade beasts had poor reproductive abilities. It only became worse the stronger they became. However, from Ri’s explanation, it wasn’t just a normal level of poor…
First, Dream Panthers could only give birth to one child in their lifetime. Second, while beasts had varied gestation times for their babies, the Dream Panthers were on a completely different level. While a normal time was 9 months, they took 10 000 years to nourish and birth their children.
What did this mean? It meant that only dao experts of their race could even think of giving birth to children taking lifespan into consideration. There wasn’t even a point to attempt conceiving until they became dao experts. And, since higher cultivation equated more difficulty in birthing a child, they began even further behind the starting line.
To make matters worse, there was a third and fourth factor: they couldn’t accept the seed of other races AND there was a 95% chance that the birthed child would be female!
The Dream Panthers were truly dealt a horrible hand. Who knew whether it was truly that they couldn’t break into Half-Step Transcendent Realm, or if they simply didn’t have a large enough sample size to birth a talent that could?
Who would have known that even after having this exposed that Nine would begin to laugh? The clear sneer in her eyes could make anyone uncomfortable.
‘You know nothing. Do you believe us Dream Panthers are unaware? Fools believe that we can’t break into the Higher Existence realm because there’s some sort of cap on our potential. This isn’t true at all. Not only is that not true, but we know exactly how to break into the Higher Existence Realm.
‘It’s because we know the method that I know your so-called ‘help’ is useless. Come! Kill me then!’
