Chapter 127: What Happened Inside the Dragon's Belly

"Yeah, it was a critical moment. If I broke my concentration, the blood-qi wouldn't be properly allocated. By the way, do you have any idea about other intelligent species besides humans and vampires?" Keith asked cautiously.

"Not that I know of. Some high-level beasts do show similar intelligence to humans, but they are just a handful. Others don't have the mental capability to think abstractly," Garion replied.

"Nevermind. It was a stupid question. Vampires are the pinnacle of life in the continent and that's the absolute truth. If there were any intelligent beings besides us, the council would have told us so." Keith said with a calm yet rigid voice.
