The Medallion

The giant peered down at Rocky with big, dark green eyes. He didn't try to hurt him. It looked like he was just curious.

"Who... are... you?" the giant asked in a slow, deep voice. From the way he spoke, it was clear that he was not fluent in Rocky's language.

For a moment, Rocky hesitated. He didn't want to answer the question because he might say something wrong and make the giant angry. The last thing he wanted was for the giant to attack him. The aura the giant was emitting was extremely strange, and Rocky was afraid that the creature had power that was equal to or higher than the Emperor Realm. Therefore, he remained cautious.

"Who are you?" Rocky asked in return after some thought.

"I'm... the Wind Monster..." the giant answered with some effort.

"Sir, I'm really sorry. I never meant to disturb you. I am here because I fell from the cliff. Could you please tell me where I am and why you are here?" Rocky asked as politely as he could. He was pretty sure that the giant didn't want to harm him.

"This is the holy land. I'm the gatekeeper. My master asked me to guard this place..." the Wind Monster answered.

"This is the holy land? That means it's a forbidden land. Sir, are you going to send me away?" Rocky asked hesitantly. He had no intention of staying here very long. After all, he didn't want to risk a fight with the giant in front of him.

"No, you can stay here. You have the aura of my master," the Wind Monster answered calmly.

"The aura of your master? Is your master..." Rocky trailed off. At the mention of the Wind Monster's master, Rocky thought of the headless corpse in the Martial Spirit Graveyard that was also the master of the Scarlet Heaven Jade. If they were the same person, that meant that the master of the Scarlet Heaven Jade had a deep connection with the royal family of the Shura Race. Otherwise, how could he have ordered the Wind Monster to guard the holy land of the Shura Race's royal family?

"You have my master's aura so you know where he is." All of a sudden, the Wind Monster was looking at Rocky expectantly.

His gaze made Rocky hesitate. But he couldn't hold the news back forever. "I do. He is dead."
