Chapter 579: What’s the Purpose?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ignoring Lou Yu’s attempt to stop her, Shen Yaowei bent down, plucked a few spatial fruits from the ground, and stuffed them into her arms. She took one out and put it in her mouth.
The spatial power contained in the spatial fruit cut her mouth again, but she didn’t seem to feel it and continued to eat seriously as she barged into the ancient city intermediate.
Around the ancient city was a large primitive forest. The cries of wild beasts could be heard, echoing in the air.
The moment Shen Yaowei barged into the forest, she felt a cold aura coming at her. Two to three pitch-black monkeys on the tree waved their sharp claws and pounced at her.
She raised her hand and pressed it on her waist. Shen Yaowei’s figure turned into an afterimage and rushed out, pouncing in the direction of the monkeys.
With a sweep of her longsword, Shen Yaowei slashed the monkeys’ necks forcefully. She was shocked to discover that the skin and flesh of these d.a.m.n things were actually thicker than she imagined. Her sword only cut off some fur.
Shen Yaowei’s gaze swayed. She looked down at the longsword in her hand and looked at the monkeys in disappointment. “Your skin is so thick, your meat must not be delicious.”
These monkeys were all spirit beasts and had a certain amount of intelligence to understand human language. They immediately heard Shen Yaowei’s offense to them and kept shouting in anger. Then, they pounced on Shen Yaowei.
Shen Yaowei tightened her grip on her longsword and swept out an attack mixed with spiritual power, easily knocking the monkeys in front of her to the ground.
After doing all of this, Shen Yaowei quickly circulated the spiritual power in her body. After absorbing the spatial power in the spatial fruit, she tapped the ground with her toes and quickly rushed into the depths of the forest.
The corpses of the monkeys lay on the ground with their heads separated. Soon, the smell of blood from the corpses attracted other wild beasts.
The wild beasts swallowed and tore at the corpses of the monkeys until a long whistle attacked. Then, a vine attacked from the depths of the forest. A woman in animal skin raised her leg and swung, the blade hidden in her foot sweeping out and stabbing the neck of one of the wild beasts.
Blood splattered. The lion-like wild beast let out a miserable wail. Then, it twisted its body in pain and fell heavily to the ground. Soon, it stopped breathing.
Everything happened in a short instant, so fast that the other wild beasts were extremely frightened. They hurriedly ran away with their tails between their legs.
The girl took off the ancient mask on her face. She was dressed very coolly. Her tanned skin and the totems drawn on her face added some vitality to her entire body. Her wild beauty made her shine like a black pearl.
“Princess!” Other people who were dressed the same way as the girl rushed over. They looked at the wild beast that fell to the ground and couldn’t get up, their eyes filled with worry. “Princess, how many times have we told you? Leave this dangerous hunting work to us. You have the only royal bloodline in our Huolan Nation. You can’t mess around!”
Lou Baihua didn’t think much of it. After nodding slightly, she said, “Look at the monkeys on the ground. They were killed by sharp weapons. Could it be that a living person entered the ruins?”
The other Huolan clansmen also followed Lou Baihua’s gaze and looked at the monkeys on the ground.
The wounds on the monkeys’ necks were also cut by sharp weapons, and those injuries weren’t caused by their clansmen. It was obvious that someone else had really entered the ruins!
At this moment, the eyes of the Huolan clansmen became burning. The oldest old man touched his beard.
“We’ve waited here for so many years. We’ve finally waited for an outsider to enter. Once we can come into contact with the other party, we might be able to let the other party help us complete our great undertaking.” Hot light rolled out of the old man’s eyes.
“No matter who it is, as long as they enter our ruins, they’re our people. Of course, the other party has to help us. Otherwise, they have to stay and stay with us forever.” Lou Baihua tilted her head and smiled. “I guess the person who entered the ruins this time must be a handsome Young Master. I love men outside the ruins the most. High priest, quickly send our people. No matter how much time and energy it takes, we have to bring the men of the foreign races to me as soon as possible.”
Time pa.s.sed. Three months later.
Night fell, and moonlight enveloped the entire forest. Shen Yaowei’s figure quickly flashed through the forest. She turned around and looked warily at the few barbarians who had been chasing after her.
These barbarians were very fast, and their fast figures were like black panthers, making Shen Yaowei unable to ignore them.
About three days ago, when she was cultivating, she accidentally discovered that there were others in the ruins.
No, it should be said that these barbarians weren’t ordinary humans. They looked no different from ordinary people, but there was no aura of a living person on their bodies. Even the Yin Yang Eye couldn’t see the Yang flames on their shoulders and heads. It could be seen that these barbarians were just walking corpses.
Initially, she didn’t want to have anything to do with these barbarians. Shen Yaowei had been trying her best to dodge along the way, but these barbarians seemed to have targeted her and didn’t let go.
Shen Yaowei ran all the way to the cliff. After stopping, she turned around and looked behind her.
The wild people were also dressed very wildly. They were all men with animal skin around their waists. They stood on the ground with their bare feet, and totems could be seen everywhere on their bodies.
Even if she was forced to the edge of the cliff, there was no fear in Shen Yaowei’s eyes. Instead, she stared at these barbarians and asked coldly, “What’s your goal in pestering me along the way?”
The wild people were all wearing masks. When they heard Shen Yaowei’s words, their legs went weak, and they actually kneeled in front of her together. “Please go back with us, Miss. Our princess and high priest invite Miss.”
Surprisingly, these barbarians’ movements. Shen Yaowei pondered for a moment and instantly said, “No, I’m still busy cultivating and don’t have time to care about you.”
For so many days, she had been eating the spatial fruit every day. Some spatial power had already acc.u.mulated in her body.
After this spatial power entered her body, she could freely control this spatial power through spiritual power, but she couldn’t release this power, let alone casually control the s.p.a.ce outside.
For the next few days, she didn’t make any progress. She was extremely anxious and didn’t have the time to argue with a group of barbarians.
After the wild people heard Shen Yaowei’s words, the few of them looked at each other, but they still insisted on standing in front of Shen Yaowei, unwilling to leave half-step.
Seeing that these people were stubborn, a cold glint appeared in Shen Yaowei’s eyes. She pulled out the longsword at her waist. “Since you’re unwilling to move aside, don’t blame me for being rude.”
“Miss, show mercy!” At this moment, Lou Baihua rushed over with a large number of people. She came to the front of the barbarians and stood still. She squeezed out a smile very politely at Shen Yaowei. “Miss, we’re from the Huolan Nation. We came this time to be friendly. Please give us a chance..”
