Chapter 3591 A Dangerous Place

He studied the two maps carefully, cross-checking each area, one by one.

The terrain of the grassland area in the south was relatively straightforward, so Zen didn't pay much attention to it. The key was to compare the four corners on the board with the map in his palm.

About five minutes later, Zen had finished comparing the two maps. His originally relaxed eyebrows were now furrowed tightly. His target was not on this map.

Noticing Zen's expression, Chieftain Richie asked, "You didn't find it, did you?"

This map only portrayed the south region of Stage Seventeen of the Other Shore, so it wouldn't have been surprising if Zen couldn't find what he was looking for. Zen nodded with a sigh. He had no choice but to look for it elsewhere.

Just as Zen was about to bid Richie farewell, Elvinia piped up excitedly from his shoulder, "Wait a minute, Zen! Look at the rightmost area of the map."

Zen frowned slightly, as though he didn't understand her. Then, it dawned on Elvinia that he couldn't hear her due to their massive difference in body size. Channeling her strength into her voice, she repeated it again loudly.

Finally understanding what Elvinia was saying, Zen turned to look at where she was pointing.

On the rightmost side of the map, the grassland area suddenly stopped and was replaced by what seemed to be a desert. On the carved map provided by the Elephant Man race, it was carved vaguely, which was why Zen hadn't noticed it before.

But even so, the junction of the grassland and the desert formed a triple-gourd shaped area.

"Now look at the left side of the map on your palm. Is there a wavy line?" Elvinia continued excitedly.

When Zen looked at the map formed by the Other Shore Key on his palm, his eyes lit up. This wavy line was just enough to match the lower part of the triple-gourd!

He even pressed his palm down and observed the two maps more carefully. The more he studied it, the more he felt they were a match.

"Thanks for your careful observation, Elvinia," Zen said with a smile.

"Certainly." Elvinia smiled back sweetly.

Then, Zen turned to face the chieftain. Richie looked back at him uneasily.

Pointing his finger on the map, Zen asked, "Chieftain Richie, I think this area goes beyond the territory of the Elephant Man race. Do you know where this is?"

"That place..." said Richie hesitantly.

Zen studied Richie curiously. Was this place special?

. "But I suspect that the Elephant Man race is related to those great civilizations, which means, the Elephant Men might have been left here on purpose by the other civilizations, in order to keep watch."

Previously, Zen had suspected that the fences were not built by the Elephant Man race. Now, it seemed that the purpose of building those fences was probably to divide the territory and to confine the Elephant Man race to the grassland.

"That's just your speculation," spat Elvinia.

"Whether I'm right or wrong, we'd better go to that place after bypassing the Elephant Man race. It will be much safer that way."

"You're right..."

After the conversation, they started to head north, straight towards the area marked on the map.

Meanwhile, in the house that stood in the center of the Elephant Men's settlement, the high priest suddenly bolted upright, "Richie, hurry! Take down the Heavenly Spirit Bead!"

Richie trembled slightly at the high priest's sudden request.

The Heavenly Spirit Bead was a sacred treasure of the Elephant Man race. It had always been placed on the top of the totem pole, where it was worshiped by all the members of the race.

The bead had been sitting on the top of the totem pole since time immemorial. It had played an important role in providing the Elephant Man race with power.

No one was allowed to touch this sacred treasure, not even the high priest himself. Yet now, the high priest was demanding he take it down right this instant!

To his horror, Richie suddenly realized that the situation must have been much more grave than he could possibly imagine.
