Chapter 1254: Gregory The Vulture

The moment they entered the hall, Gu Mengmeng felt something was not quite right with the atmosphere .

Lea and someone unfamiliar were facing each other . That person looked chilly and stern . He was wearing the typical animal skin skirt worn in the Beast World, but possessed an elegant and distinguished aura . It made one feel like kneeling before him and calling out . “Master, I am Xiao Gu!”

The feathers on his two ears affirmed his identity . Yeah, he was a bird .

Those feathers were different from the eagle-owls . They were a deep gray with dark patterns running through . Gu Mengmeng couldn’t recognize which type of birds had such feathers, and so had no idea which race he belonged to .

The smile on Lea’s face was very warm and genial . So genial that Gu Mengmeng felt goosebumps all over .

Lea was smiling in such a manner as he was obviously furious with the bird beast facing him .

Elvis placed Gu Mengmeng on a stone chair before quietly moving to stand diagonally behind her, guarding her . He did not utter a single word .

Lea stood up when he saw that Gu Mengmeng had arrived . He waved his tail . “Mengmeng, let me introduce you . This is the famous leader of the vulture race, Gregory . ”

Gu Mengmeng’s eyes widened . Vulture race?! She had been caught in a catch-22 situation—she could only ascend the mountain with help from the vulture race, but to get to the vultures, she had to ascend the mountain first . And now they had come knocking on her doors?!

Damn!

“Are you the legendary Messenger of the Beast Deity?” Gregory sized up Gu Mengmeng with an unfriendly expression .

Gu Mengmeng was stunned by Gregory’s attitude .

Her father said the vultures were the race closest to him, and she could drop his name to gain some brownie points with them . But this fellow in front of her didn’t look like he was buying it…

“I am . ” Gu Mengmeng answered simply . She decided to stick to her plan and see what this visitor’s intentions were .

Gregory glanced at Elvis and then at Lea, before finally returning his gaze to Gu Mengmeng .

There was not much emotion on his face, but it was different from Auretin’s usual poker face . Gregory was truly cold and stony, his gaze so chilling that it felt like your bones had been frozen over with ice .

“Tell me, why are you looking for me?” Gregory asked .

Gu Mengmeng was even more shocked now . Who was looking for you?

Erm… that was also incorrect . She had been looking for him, but didn’t manage to find him . So now, wasn’t he the one who had come knocking on their doors?

Gregory noticed Gu Mengmeng’s confusion . Impatient, he took a deep breath to suppress his urge to just turn and walk away . “That great lord sent a message-bearer to the Motou mountain range . That is why I have come down to find you . If you are not actually looking for me, I will take my leave . ”

“Wait a minute . ” Gu Mengmeng asked, “Who is… that great lord?”

It couldn’t be Cole, could it?

Gregory stared at Gu Mengmeng with a probing gaze . “Are you really the Messenger of the Beast Deity?”

“As real as they come . ” Gu Mengmeng was confident of this point .

But Gregory remained unconvinced . “Since you are the Messenger of the Beast Deity, how could you not know who that great lord is?”

Gu Mengmeng was speechless . She really didn’t know who that great lord was!

Gregory’s gaze landed on Elvis’ chest . He frowned . “You took something from him but didn’t know he had asked me to come find you… that means he didn’t give it to you willingly . Did you steal it? Ha, you must be really capable if you managed to snatch the Heart of the Desert from him . ”

Heart of the Desert?

Gu Mengmeng instinctively also looked at Elvis’ chest, which held the mark of a blooming red spider lily .

But she didn’t remember how she obtained the Heart of the Desert . She only knew that she fainted, and by the time she regained consciousness, that item was already in her hands…
