Feathered Serpents was an ancient race of serpents of the Spiritual World, present on the Central Continent and the Continent of the Beast.

However, although there are no race subdivisions within this species, the Feathered Serpents of the Continent of the Beast had much stronger bloodlines than those of the Central Continent.

Such a thing could be seen in the potential limitations of these beings, which could reach the 8th stage of cultivation. Still, those from the Central Continent would barely get to the 6th stage!

That was the difference between lineages within the same species!

But even so, this was a high-level breed by Central Continent standards, where Minos and Abby were.

However, beyond that factor, what shocked these youths the most was that these beasts, so highly classified, were in the impoverished north of the Central Continent!

Contrary to popular belief, these creatures of the Feathered Serpents race did not have a fixed habitat and frequently migrated using their unique ability, Spiritual Affinity.

Such ability allowed these beasts to find ideal, energy-rich places, allowing them even to identify changes before they happen!

In fact, it wouldn't be difficult for a member of the Feathered Serpents clan to find the place where valuable medicine would grow!

But that had its limits, of course, related to the level of these beings...

Anyway, as they watched the many beasts of this rare species circling them, Minos and Abby finally saw a few of them approaching the place where they were.

There were about 15 of them at the 5th stage of cultivation and 3 at the 6th stage, flying through the skies of that place until they reached the branch where Minos and Abby were.

Seeing this, the young Stuart wasn't scared or anything like that. However, he was still holding onto Abby and this young woman's spiritual beast, ready to flee to the Spatial Kingdom if something went wrong...

But, while the young ruler of the Black Plain had a look of caution on his face, a hoarse, noble voice came from one of those Feathered Serpents that were flying in front of him.

"Friends from the north of the Central Continent, it's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Virtus. May I know your esteemed names?" One of the snakes in the air said. This beast appeared to be the biggest of the group, about 5 meters long, and wings as big as its own body.

And hearing the serpent's polite introduction, Minos and Abby couldn't help but open their mouths in shock. The blue-haired young woman, of course, only knew of these ancient beasts through the few books she had read in the Miller family, but young Stuart knew more.

From the memories left by Henricus Longus, Minos knew that members of this race could be very polite to some but utterly hostile to others. And, in general, the second alternative was the predominant one...

And due to that knowledge, he was shocked that these beasts were treating him and Abby with respect, even more so when their group was so much stronger than Minos'!

'Can they feel a trace of the Spatial Kingdom's power through the ring in my hand?' Minos wondered as he tried to calm himself.

However, Minos didn't have time to think about that right now. Since the strongest among them, a level 58 beast, was being so kind to him, then he could do the same!

"Hello Elder Virtus, this one beside me is Abby, my friend. And this humble one here is called Minos. Nice to meet you." He responded at the same time by touching Abby's waist for her to greet them.

After hearing this, the great serpent nodded its great head in the air and closed its eyes as if it were smiling at the two youths. And the others also waved their big bodies as they conversed through mind communication, which their species was also capable of.

'This must be his wife!' One of them commented as it smelled Minos on Abby's body.

'Ah, it's a shame they aren't trying to reproduce. Otherwise, another talented youth could be born...'

'Hmm, it will be difficult for the two of them to reproduce when he gets stronger...'

And as the group of snakes talked amongst themselves, their group leader finally looked at Minos and said. "So it's young Minos!"

"I hope young Minos doesn't mind, but I'll be bringing my clan to live in this forest."

"Eh?" Minos exclaimed in surprise. "I don't care, but..."

When Minos was saying something, the giant serpent stopped him and commented. "I have a feeling that this place's spiritual density will soon increase, and after seeing you a few moments ago, I have the impression that you are responsible for this. That way, I wish young Minos doesn't stop us."

'Oh? So, it looks like the changes in the Black Plain are truly going to affect this place!' Minos concluded.

'Ah, Spiritual Affinity is genuinely amazing. These serpents can even feel my relationship to such a thing!'

Minos then replied. "If that's the case, I hope your clan develops well around here."

And after hearing this, all the other serpents made satisfaction noises as some began to run around.

"Haha, thanks for that, young Minos!" Virtus said.

Minos then shook his head and commented. "But this Flooded Valley already has many beasts. So, I'm afraid you'll have some problems..."

"Haha, that's the minus. But, we can achieve this with some 'diplomacy'... But young Minos, may I know from where you come? I want to visit your home in the future." He asked curiously.

Minos then looked at Virtus and thought it wouldn't be worth it. Even if these beasts knew he came from the Black Plain, it would be tough for that information to leak through them.

After all, there weren't many people in this region who could make these beasts talk. But, on the other hand, as members of the ancient Feathered Serpent race, they each had a powerful sense of integrity with those they respected!

Minos then said promptly. "I come from the Black Plain."

'No wonder!' Someone commented internally.

'Hmm, that place looked even more attractive to us. It's a shame it's not suitable. If not, we wouldn't even have come here...'

Virtus then commented. "It makes sense! Good, good. Young Minos, if you decide to visit us one day, we will be right in this place. We'll be pleased to receive you!" He said with a satisfied expression.

"We'll also pay a visit when young Minos reaches level 50…" He started talking about a few things until finally, the conversation ended, and young Stuart left that place along with Abby.

The whole time they talked, Abby was shocked at how things were going. Those beasts of such a renowned race had been so kind to them. This girl couldn't believe it...

'They are surprisingly friendly!' She thought to herself as she looked behind that tree, from where she and Minos had been before.

"Did you understand what happened back there?" She asked as soon as they walked away from that area.

"I think their instincts say there are benefits to befriending us…" After that, Minos began to tell his friend what he knew as the two traveled towards the spot where the bandit camp was located.

...

Meanwhile, the group of Feathered Serpents was starting to establish on that area, which was under the influence of local floods.

Their group consisted not just of these members but of thousands who were still moving here.

And in the middle of that place, where many serpents were already beginning to change the terrain, Virtus looked at the sky with a sparkle in his eyes.

He naturally couldn't feel the energy of the Spatial Kingdom through the ring in Minos' hand, as he was only a 6th stage cultivation beast.

However, through his Spiritual Affinity, he could sense the potential of that young man's talent!

And with that, Virtus naturally felt that Minos could reach level 100 in a few centuries. Because of that, he had been so kind to that youths before.

The fact that Minos is related to local change was indeed a plus point. Still, it couldn't be compared to talent beyond the Golden one!

'This land will likely be part of an empire with a God at its command...'

"Our tribe can finally rise under the wing of such a powerful expert!"
