Chapter 150: The Sorrow of the Weak
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
A few minutes later, the members of the Black Feather tribe, together with Maggie and Anderson arrived in the sky above Nanxiang gathering place.
It was midnight, and most of the people in the gathering place were asleep, but there were still sentries who spotted the Black Feather tribe.
The sound of bells rang violently throughout the gathering place, waking up Lu Ming who was sound asleep.
Rubbing his eyes, Lu Ming got out of bed and went to open the window. He immediately saw the birdmen looking down from above condescendingly.
Frowning, Lu Ming decided to go outside.
Led by Amang, the Black Feather tribe did not immediately start a ma.s.sacre.
They simply floated in the sky above the Nanxiang gathering place, observing everything below.
A faint glimmer appeared in Amang’s eyes as he nodded slightly. “There are many people, over 100,000.”
This number was much higher than the population of the New York gathering place.
Apulan smiled and said, “With 100,000 Tribulation Transcenders, we should be able to extract a lot of Blood Essence.”
Arnold said, “It’s not that much. 1 heard from the Great Elder that the quant.i.ty of Blood Essence depends on the strength of the Tribulation Transcenders, and the number of them. But there should still be a few dozen.”
“And with a few dozen Blood Essences, we get a few dozen spots for ascending to the Heavenly Realm. If one of them really succeeds, then…”
Arnold’s eyes lit up at the mention of this.
The others also smiled, as if they were thinking of something great.
Until an untimely voice reached their ears.
“Lolita!”
Following Maggie’s gaze, the Black Feather tribe members saw a little girl around ten years old holding the hand of another woman, standing in front of an empty small building.
Lolita seemed to have just woken up, rubbing her eyes in a daze.
But could it be due to the bloodline connection, Lolita could vaguely recognize her mother even from a distance!
“Mommy! Mommy!”
The girl kept waving to them, causing the corners of Maggie’s eyes to gradually moisten until Maggie suddenly turned her head and looked at Amang.
“Sir, that’s my daughter. In return for my cooperation during this time, I hope you can…”
At this point, Maggie had only one request.
To protect her daughter.
Upon hearing this, Amang smiled.
“Alright!”
With that, the Black Feather Tribe member who was dragging Maggie reached out and touched her face.
There was a crisp crack.
Maggie’s head did a 180-degree turn.
She was dead.
Anderson could not imagine that Maggie would end up like this!
The moment Maggie’s neck was twisted, Anderson felt a chill surging to the top of his head.
He opened his mouth and looked at Maggie, then at the Black Feather tribesman flying in the sky with him.
A faint friction extended from his back all the way to Anderson’s neck.
Maggie was dead…
He could not escape either!
“Sir! Wait, sir! We had an agreement! I’ll tell you the location of the Nanxiang people, and you’ll protect us!”
He shouted at Ah Mang, only begging for a slim chance of survival.
Hearing this, Amang smiled and raised his hand to stop his subordinates’ actions.
“Let me tell you a simple truth.”
“Weaklings have no right to negotiate with the strong! This is the law within the Black Mist Zone, and it’s also the first lesson I give to you new generation Tribulation Transcenders!”
As Amang spoke, Arnold took out a transparent crystal.
He placed the crystal above Maggie’s corpse and a faint red mist floated out of Maggie’s corpse, falling into the crystal, giving it a tinge of crimson.
Maggie’s corpse was casually discarded, falling onto the Nanxiang gathering place with a bang.
There was a commotion within the Nanxiang gathering place, vaguely mixed with the sound of Lolita’s wailing.
Arnold did not even spare a glance and only looked at the crystal.
After observing the red color in the crystal for a moment, Arnold nodded, “It’s about 0.1% charged.”
“So, a thousand Level 6 Worldly realm Tribulation Transcenders are needed to collect a piece of Blood Essence.
“I think we can kill some of the strong and those with no potential, and take some with potential to nurture them properly, just like breeding.”
Apulan nodded slightly, agreeing with Arnold’s suggestion, and Amang continued to smile at Anderson.
“The second lesson is that you, Tribulation Transcenders, are of great significance.”
“You guys are like walking tonics, but unfortunately, you don’t have the ability to protect yourselves.”
“Combined with what I said earlier, do you understand your situation now?”
To put it bluntly, he knew he would have to protect them; he must do it.
After all, he really had to take good care of a large group of tonics.
However, it was not for the weak to decide how to protect and how many of them to protect. Only the strong could decide!
Anderson opened his mouth, but he did not know how to respond.
Until suddenly a powerful force surged from his neck.
His head slumped to one side.
He decided to end it all.
Arnold went through the process again and then casually threw Anderson’s corpse down.
This time, Arnold summed up Anderson’s life.
“The journey back is too far, and we can’t bring too many people. Trash like you should turn into Blood Essence as soon as possible and make room for others with more value.”
The cruelty of the Black Feather Tribe was witnessed by all the people in Nanxiang.
The corpses of Maggie and Anderson fell from the sky one after another, causing a huge commotion.
But soon, soon, the chaos subsided.
This was because Huo Sheng, Bai Tianyu, and Lu Ming had already arrived at the place below the Black Feather Tribe.
Looking at the bodies of Maggie and Anderson not far away, Lu Ming frowned, his expression somewhat unhappy.
He pointed at Maggie’s body, “Is this Lolita’s mother?”
Huo Sheng said, “Seems like it.”
Lolita had already fainted from crying and was carried into the house by Wei Lan.
In fact, Lu Ming had enjoyed being with Lolita for the past two days; he liked the little girl.
But now, someone had killed Lolita’s mother right in front of her…
The young girl’s heart was experiencing a tremendous shock.
How much of a blow would this bring to the child?!
Looking up at the smiling Black Feather Tribesmen, Lu Ming raised his eyebrows and subjectively labeled this group of people as bad guys.
However…
There was a need to talk first.
Everyone was new here, and Lu Ming did not have much feelings for Maggie and Anderson. Moreover, they were the ones who had attracted this group of birdmen here.
The other party’s strength was also unclear…
In any case, we should talk first; that’s definitely right.
Huo Sheng also had the same intention.
However, he knew more than Lu Ming—such as Anderson’s Level 7 strength.
A Level 7 Anderson had his neck snapped like a chick. The strength of this group of birdmen could be roughly estimated.
They were not easy to deal with…
Let’s talk first, understand the birdmen’s intentions, and resolve it peacefully if possible.
However, judging from the other party’s casual att.i.tude towards killing, it might not be possible to resolve it peacefully…
With these thoughts in mind, Huo Sheng spoke, “Everyone…”
