Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

"I hadn't expected you to find it. As great as that is, there are actually quite a few of the Fighting Crane's feathers in the Beast Tamer Space. It left them on purpose for those who were destined to meet it someday. Since you managed to find one of the feathers, that must mean you're one of those destined to see it sooner or later," the Godly Phoenix said indifferently as it looked at the emerald feather in Zachary's hand.

"Alas! It appears I was right; the feathers were scattered everywhere. No wonder I was able to find one so easily," Zachary responded, slightly disappointed.

"No need to feel so disheartened. It's actually not that easy to find feathers in the Beast Tamer Space. If you didn't have luck on your side, you would not have been able to hold such a feather in your hand right now," the Godly Phoenix added in a soothing tone.

"That means I am destined to meet the Fighting Crane now, right? How can I find it?" Zachary asked, feeling a little better.

"It's quite simple now that you got this far. All you have to do is burning this feather at the top of the highest mountain on the island. The Fighting Crane will appear soon after," the Godly Phoenix explained.

"That's all I have to do? Nothing else?" Hearing that, Zachary was stunned. A legendary beast shouldn't be found so easily. To only have to burn a feather that could be found almost everywhere in the Beast Tamer Space seemed like an unlikely way to make it appear.

"Yes, that's all you have to do," the Godly Phoenix said, confirming with a determined look.

"You're not lying to me, are you?" Zachary asked. A part of him couldn't help but doubt the strangeness of the instructions.

"Why would I lie? You have a Holy Level warrior on your side. Lying to you will only bring trouble onto my head," the Godly Phoenix said with a snort after a quick glance at Tania.

"Thank you for the information, then." Zachary slowly turned around and walked towards Tania.

"What's going on?" Tania asked immediately.

"It said that the Fighting Crane would appear once we burn this feather at the top of the highest mountain in Crane College," Zachary informed her.

"Is that so?" Tania was just as surprised. It appeared too simple to be true to her too. After all, she had been searching for the Fighting Crane for many years so far, but all her efforts were in vain. Never had she expected that it would be that easy to f

the God of War and my race were close," the Fighting Crane said with a nod.

"The God of War? I feel like I've heard of him before. Wait! Did you just say your race? Do legendary beasts have a race?" Zachary asked in surprise. "Yes, we are a race onto ourselves.

Back when the Five Gods existed, my race was very powerful. There were even countless races much stronger than us," the Fighting Crane explained with a laugh.

"Really? That's amazing!" This piece of information surprised Zachary. That meant back when the Five Gods existed, legendary beasts roamed the world.

"Since you're practicing the God-slaying Formula, we were destined to meet. Do you have any wishes? If so, let me know what they are and I will make them happen," the Fighting Crane added.

"Well, I don't personally have any wishes. Can my master make wishes on my behalf?" Zachary asked after glancing at Tania.

"No," the Fighting Crane flatly refused.

"Well..." Zachary was at a loss on what to do now.

"In that case, let it teach you resurrection and how to cure different diseases," Tania whispered to Zachary's after a moment of hesitation.

"I don't think that will be easy to do. I'm afraid I'm not smart enough to master that," Zachary said with raised eyebrows.

"If you really were that stupid, you would not have qualified to be my disciple," Tania responded with gritted teeth.

"All right, I'll do as you said," Zachary said, having no other option. He turned to the Fighting Crane and said, "Sir, I heard that you can cure all diseases and bring living beings back to life. Is this true, if I may ask?"
