"In the beginning, the spiritual race's guardian beasts were obtained by capturing supernatural beasts and breeding them. Unfortunately, compared with the guardian beasts that were obtained through artificial reproduction, wild supernatural beasts have stronger abilities, but they are difficult to tame, just as it is hard for human spirit manipulators to tame spiritual beasts. If we are not strong enough, it is impossible to capture a supernatural beast alive, let alone tame it. However, once we capture a supernatural beast alive, we will be able to tame it, and it will become our own guardian beast," Alyssa explained.
"I see..." Rocky nodded as he recalled the magical beasts that he had seen in the forest, back in the Black Sand Abyss, which emitted an aura that was comparable to that of a guardian beast. They must have been wild supernatural beasts.
"By the way, you mentioned spiritual slaves, ordinary spiritual beings, and spiritual masters earlier. What are they?" Rocky asked again.
"In the spiritual race's clans, the clansmen are divided into different levels, just as the ruling class divides humans into different levels. Spiritual slaves are like ordinary people, and they are responsible for the daily life of the clansmen. Meanwhile, ordinary spiritual beings work specifically for the spiritual masters, and they control the spiritual slaves for the spiritual masters. Lastly, spiritual masters rule the entire clan and protect their clansmen from being invaded by other clans of the spiritual race. As such, only spiritual masters could be considered the real clansmen in the spiritual race's clans, as they are powerful creatures standing at the top of the food chain. However, there are very few spiritual masters in each clan of the spiritual race, and that is why they are considered the most important parts of each clan in the spiritual race. In terms of their strength and function, spiritual slaves, ordinary spiritual beings, and spiritual masters are also divided into nine levels respectively. The level-one spiritual slaves are the weakest, while the level-nine spiritual masters are the strongest and real clansmen of the spiritual race," Alyssa continued to explain, as Rocky listened with his full attention.
"You are saying that the term 'spiritual race' that we, humans, use to call them has a very vague meaning. Does that mean that the real clansmen in the spiritual race's clans are only a small part of them?" Rocky asked just to confirm, as he began to realize that what he knew about the spiritual race was very different from reality. However, this was normal because if the spiritual race wanted to rule the human race, they had to exaggerate their strength. Although the spiritual race itself was indeed very powerful, the number of the real clansmen of the spiritual race was very small. The spiritual race had to confuse people and let the human race believe that there was no strong clansmen of the spiritual race and weak clansmen of the spiritual race. In that way, they could prevent the human race from betraying them. Humans thought that as long as one was a clansman of the spiritual race, he was invincible, but the truth was that human spirit manipulators above the Supernal Stage could defeat low-level spiritual slaves.
"Yes."
"Then the two clansmen of the Heavenly Demon Clan we met last time are ordinary spiritual beings, right?" Rocky asked.
"Yes, but their level is lower than mine. If their level was higher than mine, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been so lucky last time. The Heavenly Demon Clan underestimated my strength. They sent two inferior ordinary spiritual beings to kill me. Humph!" Alyssa said with disdain.
"Is that so? If it weren't for me, you would have been caught by them," Rocky cut in with a teasing smile. He could still remember that the two ordinary spiritual beings were almost as strong as Alyssa, and he could not resist the opportunity to remind her of that, which would surely annoy her.
Just as he expected, Alyssa glared at him fiercely and turned to walk away from him, effectively ending their conversation.
Once they passed through what seemed to be the pasture, he spotted a magnificent group of tree houses a good distance away from them. Although they were tree houses, the height and area of each building did not seem inferior to that of human beings' buildings. Moreover, they were all built on trees that were at least ten meters high, which added to their magnificence and beauty, as it made them look like natural works of art.
From the distance, Rocky could see that the clansmen of the Wood Clan were flying lightly up and down like tree spirits, shuttling between different tree houses.
However, as soon as they spotted Alyssa and Rocky walking towards them, they stopped whatever they were doing and landed in the branches up above. They stared at Alyssa and Rocky, making strange sounds from time to time as if they were talking about something.
"What are they talking about?" Rocky asked curiously.
"Most of the clansmen think that humans are very weak, just like ants that can be killed by the littlest finger. What do you think they will say when they see you? They don't like you. Either, they want to chop you up and feed their guardian beasts, or they want to cut you into pieces and study you," Alyssa replied seriously.
Rocky's hair stood on end when he heard what Alyssa said, but he soon realized that she was trying to hide a wicked smile. He immediately knew that Alyssa was just teasing him, so he regained his calm and chuckled to himself.
