Chapter 2127: Mountain City
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After killing the last frogman scavenger, Han Fei and the others quickly left.
Han Fei said, “From the information obtained from the Soul Search, it’s very difficult for the human race to rise under the jurisdiction of the City of Scavengers, so in the Scavenger Sea Area, the possibility of the human race rising is extremely small. However, in the City of Scavengers, there are also human powerhouses, but most of them are enslaved by the Ten Thousand Scale Race. Also, the remoter a city of the City of Scavengers is, the smaller and weaker it will be. Mountain City is remote, so the strength of the lord shouldn’t be strong. However, there is a problem.”
“What question?”
Han Fei said, “We are humans. Even Senior Snail Emperor has an extremely high degree of transformation. However, I found that it’s not that the creatures in the Sea Realm can’t transform, but that they like to keep the characteristics of their race so that it’s easier to distinguish them. Especially in the scavenger sea, humans are regarded as the bottom of society, so no one will completely transform into a human form, which will be despised by other races.”
“Hmph!”
!!
w.a.n.g Yijian snorted as if he was very unhappy with this situation.
Han Fei said, “Therefore, in view of this situation, if we want to successfully enter Mountain City and control it, it’s naturally impossible in our human forms.”
Kong Shen said, “I should be recognized as a humanoid.”
Han Fei nodded, but then said, “But I’m afraid Senior Snail Emperor can’t. There is no snail race in Mountain City at all, so even if the Snail Emperor shows some of his race’s characteristics, he will also be regarded as an anomaly.”
Tai Yuan asked, “Do you mean that we’d better imitate a humanoid creature?”
Han Fei grinned. “I think the frogmen are good.”
The Snail Emperor: “So ugly.”
Han Fei said, “You’re already an emperor. Why do you care about whether it’s ugly or not? Anyway, as long as we control the lord of Mountain City, everything will be under our control.”
The Sword G.o.d said, “Han Fei is right. After all, this is the outside world, a territory with a Monarch guarding it. That’s a living Monarch. Its strength is immeasurable.”
w.a.n.g Yijian nodded slightly and had no objection.
Tai Yuan: “There are only five people in this frogman scavenger team. We have one more.”
Han Fei said, “I don’t need it. Have you forgotten my Twin Divine Technique?”
With this in mind, everyone was relieved. With Han Fei’s current strength, even they wouldn’t be able to detect him if he used the Twin Divine Technique, let alone that there was only one Sky Opening Realm powerhouse in Mountain City.
Half a day later.
…
A small city surrounded by mountains, spanning about 3,000 kilometers, appeared in front of Han Fei and the others.
The architectural style of Mountain City was actually not much different from that of the small village. It was mainly built from the Pure Stone original ores. However, the shape and luxury of the building far exceeded that of the village.
In Mountain City, there were all kinds of businesses. There was even a large number of clean stones sold in shops. Han Fei and the others saw a large number of Clean Stone Water Thunder, or weapons like sabers, long swords, spears, and scimitars.
Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+
When Han Fei and the others arrived at Mountain City, a Sea Establishment realm powerhouse immediately appeared at the city gate.
This was another king of the frogmen race.
When this person appeared and saw Tai Yuan and the others who had turned into frogmen, he immediately complained, “Old Yang, you’re really good at timing. The tide wave will come in ten days. I’m afraid you won’t come back. How was the harvest this time?”
Han Fei and the others didn’t expect that this frogman scavenger team had an acquaintance in Mountain City. Tai Yuan hadn’t searched the soul of this frogman leader, so he didn’t know this person at all.
At this moment, he secretly said to Han Fei, “This person may ruin our plan.”
Han Fei, who was attached to Tai Yuan, was also dumbfounded, but he quickly decided, “Leave this person to me…”
Tai Yuan smiled at the frogman. “The harvest is not bad. If it weren’t for the approaching tide waves, we might have to stay outside for a while.”
As they spoke, Tai Yuan and the others walked towards the frogman king.
However, when they walked towards the frogman, the man looked at w.a.n.g Yijian. Because w.a.n.g Yijian was too stiff, his acting skills might not be up to standard. Or maybe the temperament of a sword cultivator was too outstanding and too fierce.
The frogman king couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong with Ba Lin? He doesn’t seem right.”
The more the frogman king looked at him, the more he felt that something was wrong. His temperament didn’t seem right!
However, just as he was hesitating, he suddenly felt a sense of danger. At that moment, a terrifying power drilled into his soul.
At that moment, he wanted to resist, but a strange sound suddenly exploded in his mind. He couldn’t even make a sound before he felt that he was losing control of his body.
After dozens of seconds, Han Fei quickly searched the frogman’s soul and then said to Tai Yuan and the others via voice transmission, “It’s done. This frogman is one of the guard leaders of Mountain City. He doesn’t know the team you turned into very well. He only knew them for nearly a hundred years. Because this frogman team often hunts here, he’s familiar with them.
Han Fei had already had the experience of controlling the king of the frogmen race. At that time, he underestimated his opponent, so that frogman broke free from the Void Lines.
However, how could Han Fei make the same mistake twice? Besides, he was now in the Sky Opening realm. It was impossible for a king of the frogmen race to break free from his hands.
Han Fei had thought that it was common for scavengers to enter the city, but he didn’t expect that they were almost exposed by a frogman. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and controlled this person.
As soon as he controlled this person, Han Fei said, “Give me some energy crystals.”
Seeing that the frogman was controlled by Han Fei, Tai Yuan smiled ambiguously and handed a Sun Moon Sh.e.l.l to Han Fei.
Han Fei grinned and said pretentiously, “Old Yang, let’s go! Are you going to your own yard or my place?”
Tai Yuan: “We’re quite tired. Let’s go back and rest for a few days.”
Han Fei said, “That’s good.”
At this moment, whether it was Han Fei, Tai Yuan, or the others, they all knew that a Sky Opening realm perception was sweeping over. They didn’t know if Han Fei had controlled this frogman and was noticed by the lord of Mountain City, so they acted a little.
Fortunately, the perception came and went quickly. Seeing that Han Fei had accepted the benefits, the perception retreated.
“Huff~”
Han Fei said via voice transmission, “It’s in the city. I’ll guide you there. Rest for a few days. I’ll investigate the lord of this Mountain City first.
…
In the lord’s residence in Mountain City, a Ten-Thousand Scale Clan powerhouse retracted his gaze from the city gate.
He chuckled. “Such a petty favor. You frogmen want to compete with us? Hmph, in your next life.”
The man said, “Guards.”
Immediately, a Sea Establishment Realm Ten Thousand Scale Race powerhouse walked in.
He said, “From today on, seal Mountain City. Prepare to resist the tide waves. Only entry is allowed, and no exit is allowed. There are only two teams of Tax Envoys that haven’t returned, right?”
The man said, “Yes, only Erqing and Hei Yang’s teams haven’t returned yet. It’ll probably be in two or three days.”
“OK! Go! Begin to build a city defense. Everyone must partic.i.p.ate in the battle.”
“Yes, my lord. Then this year’s harvest…”
The lord of Mountain City smiled. “Confiscate 40% of the proceeds.”
“Yes, my lord.”
The so-called confiscation was actually to take the money into the lord’s mansion and make it the personal resources of the lord of this Mountain City. At that time, he would take out 10% to reward some capable subordinates, and the remaining 30% would go into his own pocket.
It had to be known that under the tide wave, there were countless ominous creatures invading. Thirty percent was already a terrifying number. Of course, he couldn’t take more. After all, this was a matter concerning the whole city. The people in the city needed some resources for cultivation. If he took too much, it would suppress the overall strength of Mountain City, and the power to resist the tide wave a hundred years later would weaken.
…
After guiding them to the resting place of the frogmen scavengers, Han Fei had already used the Twin Divine Technique and sneaked towards the Lord’s Mansion.
Because the lord of this Mountain City was also a Sky Opening Realm powerhouse, and the sensitivity of the Sea Realm powerhouses was not low, it could be seen from them being watched at the city gate just now. Therefore, along the way, Han Fei didn’t release his perception.
But even so, Han Fei saw some aliens in the city. Some had two big horns on their heads, some had a green face and sharp teeth, some had perfect human forms but had a tail, and some had hands like blades…
Anyway, Han Fei discovered a feature. In Mountain City, most of the residents were human-like creatures. Perhaps because human forms were more suitable for fighting, there were very few pure mutants.
From the Soul Searching Technique, Han Fei knew that in a few days, everyone in Mountain City would partic.i.p.ate in the battle to resist the tide waves.
But this didn’t matter. In any case, during the tide wave period, the city would definitely be in a sealed state. As long as he could control the lord of Mountain City during this period of time, it would be fine. However, he didn’t know what the current strength of the lord of the city was.
In the Sky Opening realm, it wouldn’t be easy for him to quietly control the lord of this Mountain City. On this trip, he had to figure out the lord’s approximate strength.
