While the Martial Sages of the Nest of Terra faced off against golems of Central Highlands of the Beast Domain, the Bodhisattvas of the Gen Temple found themselves face to face with a nest of basilisks.
"Rghskkk…" A fusion between a roar and hiss emerged from the feathered reptiles, that slithered about with pure white eyes. They shifted about emerging from the holes in the ground and the caves in the rocky hills of the Central Highlands.
"Don't look them in the eyes," Bodhisattva Maitreyi remarked with a wise tone, "lest they petrify you frozen. I do not know if we who have attained Nirvana can resist their gaze, but it is not worth testing."
The other Bodhisattvas nodded, remaining in formation as the basilisks emerged from the depths from cavities in the ground, slithering about the exotic flora of Basilisk Nest as the reptilian creatures sniffed at the air, evaluating its new prey.
