Having promised Sherry to swiftly deal with the threat of the water creatures in Shadow Moon Lake, Ethan wasted no time in taking action.
Despite his formidable strength, he knew that gathering sufficient intelligence was crucial for ensuring the success of his mission.
By noon, Ethan returned to the Shadow clan's territory to inquire about the information the clan members had on Shadow Moon Lake.
However, Ethan found it somewhat strange that whenever he mentioned Shadow Moon Lake, the clan members seemed to be engulfed in fear.
"You shouldn't ask about that. Shadow Moon Lake is cursed, inhabited by terrifying creatures. Moreover, anyone seeking information about these creatures will also be cursed," an elderly member of the Shadow clan said in a trembling voice.
She appeared very reluctant for Ethan to explore Shadow Moon Lake.
