Chapter 946: Instead of living, it might be better to be a dog
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Somewhere in the beast domain.
Hundreds of thousands of beasts bowed down. Heavenly Emperor Mingguang stood in front with nine bright lights appearing. At this moment, only seven lights were left while the remaining two looked dim as if they had been extinguished.
“Taihu Territory...”
“Huangliang Despairs...”
Heavenly Emperor Mingguang muttered to himself, “There are seven more?”
“Heavenly Emperor!”
A beast came, “What you asked for is now ready.”
“Really?”
Heavenly Emperor Mingguang smiled indifferently.
Snap!
He stretched out his hand, and a faint brilliance appeared within his palm. It was small and subtle, it but contained an aura that scared everyone, which was far beyond Rule Force. Heavenly Emperor Mingguang gently poked a light beside him, and the light went out in an instant.
The result was visible to the naked eye.
All the beasts witnessed a terrifying scene. Scarlet Forest, one of the Nine Great Despairs experienced a drastic change. In the blink of an eye, all the trees withered as they were turned into nothingness. One of Nine Great Despairs, Scarlet Forest, vanished today.
“Now, there are six more.” Heavenly Emperor Mingguang calmly said.
Countless beasts were scared that they knelt on the ground. No one dared to make a single movement.
Forget about the suppression coming from the depth of their soul, just that single flick alone resulted in the destruction of a Great Despair; such a crazy scene was enough to shock every beast.
Emperor-ranked...
What kind of power is that?
Heavenly Emperor, did he really want to lead the beasts to wipe out mankind?
However, why the need to destroy the Great Despair?
“What about him?” Heavenly Emperor Mingguang suddenly asked.
Everyone knew who he was asking, the disciple of Heavenly Emperor Mingguang, that young man in white.
“Lord had rushed to Fenghun Mountain.” The beast kneeling next to Heavenly Emperor Mingguang said in a trembling voice with a hint of horror in this tone. This was because the Fenghun Mountain he mentioned was one of the Nine Great Despairs. However, the disciple of Heavenly Emperor Mingguang, that man in white, took the mission given by Heavenly Emperor Mingguang and entered as if there was no fear.
“Really?” Heavenly Emperor Mingguang looked at the lights around him, “Then, only five remain. With the four Great Despairs gone, plus those two places, just nice enough to have six all together...”
“More than half.”
Heavenly Emperor Mingguang suddenly sighed emotionally.
More than half?
A question mark appeared in the mind of those beasts kneeling on the ground. Exactly six, more than half? I thought five is already over half? Why six to consider it over half?
Heavenly Emperor Mingguang wasn’t good at math?
Hmmm...
Let’s just pretend we did not hear it.
“Interesting things are about to happen.” Heavenly Emperor Mingguang looked quietly in a certain direction, and seemed to be able to see everything that was about to happen, “This moment, I have waited too long...”
****
At the oasis, Liu Ping and the others each revealed a shocking expression. The reward of the stone statue exceeded everyone’s imagination. It turned out to be improving the quality of their Rule Force. An increment of ten percent!
It wasn’t in terms of quantity but quality!
This meant that their Rule Force would have the upper hand when they faced enemies of a similar level.. Although it was only ten percent, that was an absolute comprehensive advantage!
Their strength doubled!
“Haha, this was indeed a generous reward.”
“With great crisis comes great opportunity.”
“The trial reward of the beasts is actually this generous.” Liu Ping formed a smile with the corner of his mouth, “Can Wolf King create this by himself? Impossible! Thus, this should be the secret of Huangliang Despairs, I guess?”
“I now have some expectations.” Liu Ping licked his lips.
His lips were a bit dry from being in the desert for quite some time.
Looking at the delightful teammates, Liu Ping looked far away, and he had some regret. Such a pity, if Wu Ming were here, the later parts would be much easier...
This was the only time when he thought of Wu Ming.
As for their death...
Oh, if you die, then that’s it. They were already used to it anyway.
Which world esper had reached this point and wasn’t used to death? Even those three million dead souls in Huangliang City didn’t affect them much.
This was the reality.
How thin was the affection of world espers?
Entering the oasis, they saw a small village where no one lives. Some used items here had already been covered with thick dust. At least no one came here for three to four years. Based on the legend of Huangliang Despairs, some people would vanish within a period of time. It seemed that those missing people came here.
Such a fact could be seen from the traces of the village.
At its peak, this village probably accommodated dozens of people.
But now, this was just a ghost village.
There was no one present.
“Exactly what had happened in the past?”
Liu Ping wiped off the dust on a table, looking for clues.
“Seems like those who broke into here stayed here in the past.” A world esper said.
“There is a note here.”
The crowd soon noticed what was left behind by their predecessors. They finally understood why everyone in this village vanished! They had left here.
That note was a speculation diagram of the quicksand trajectory.
Everyone who came here chose to stay due to the crisis. Then, with the trajectory of the quicksand plotted out, there wouldn’t be any danger on the later route. Who would wish to stay here any longer then?
Their several years here in the oasis could be considered as a trip for spiritual training.
“It turned out to be like that.”
“Seems that our predecessors stayed here for a few years just to analyze the pattern of the quicksand. Only when this note was completed did they leave.”
“This is such a valuable treasure!”
There was nothing else important in the oasis except this obscure note. After a while, everyone left and set off again. However, this single note freed them from the threat of death. Based on the prediction, they easily escaped from the quicksand’s attack.
The quicksand was no longer a threat.
“We managed to pass.”
“Haha, there is no longer the need to be afraid.”
Everyone revealed a look of ecstasy. The feeling of constant fear that they could be eliminated at any moment had drained their mental strength. After all, this was indeed too terrifying.
“Stop being so unreserved.” Liu Ping responsibly threw cold water on them, “We are just taking advantage of our predecessors. I am more worried that since they had walked out of the quicksand, why didn’t they leave here alive?”
Within the desert, everyone suddenly lost their voice.
Liu Ping’s words awakened them. The quicksand was no longer a crisis, but they had a bigger crisis awaiting them. What would be the next one then? Why didn’t those seniors leave alive? Did they encounter a bigger crisis?
“The wolf tribe, it seems that we didn’t see any of them again.” A world esper suddenly said.
“It seems that that damn Kintaro had chosen a death path for us.” Another man complained in annoyance.
“That Kintaro, what exactly does he want?” Someone asked, puzzled.
“Well, I never expect him to give any backdoor for us to begin with.” Liu Ping glanced at them and then sneered, “Since he and Wolf King do not mix well together, that is our advantage. Perhaps Kintaro wishes for us to kill Wolf King so he could be the next king. After all, we will leave here after killing the Wolf King. This Kintaro is pretty good in his calculation.”
“This itself is a transaction.”
“It can’t be.” Someone couldn’t believe it, “That damn lazy Kintaro, he could actually think this far ahead?”
Liu Ping chuckled.
To attack using the strength of another.
To borrow their hand and get rid of the Wolf King, just like what he said, this was a transaction itself. Kintaro was being calculative, wasn’t he the same too?
“But he’s a beast...” A world esper smiled bitterly.
Humans and beasts were mortal enemies!
“Our goals are not in conflict.”
“So what if we make a transaction once?” Liu Ping didn’t mind. Looking at those people who couldn’t understand, he just added another sentence, “You need to know one fact, they can’t leave here.”
“Huh?”
The crowd suddenly came to a realization.
Yes!
So what if Kintaro is very powerful?
They couldn’t leave. Once they leave here, the powerful suppression from the Federation’s territory will erupt. Emperor-ranked? Wolf tribe? No, they were neither!
Once they left Huangliang Despairs, no matter how fierce the wolves are, they would be suppressed to the level of a dog!
“We don’t have to bother with the wolf tribe.” Liu Ping calmly continued, “This time, we’re in Huangliang Despairs. We only have two goals from the start to the end. One is to improve our strength, and the other is to kill the people of Nine Snakes. Excluding those, we can compromise with anything.”
“Yes.”
Everyone understood.
The exploration team continued to advance in the desert.
Without the threat from the quicksand, they moved quickly. In just an hour, they walked out of the second half of the desert. When they reached the end, from a distance, they saw a huge palace. It was a royal palace!
Wolf King...
Royal palace...
The end of Huangliang Despairs, sure enough, it was this place.
“If Nine Snakes really entered, they will definitely come here.” Liu Ping looked at the royal palace and then smirked, “The secret of the Great Despair, how to leave this place, the most knowledgeable one is probably the Wolf King. This time, we must never retreat.”
In front of the palace, Liu Ping stood proudly.
He didn’t choose to fight, but that didn’t mean he is weak.
Standing in front of the palace, he understood that he must prove his strength to be qualified to hold a conversation with the Wolf King. However, having said that, he had worked hard outside and struggled hard to improve his strength. Yet, this damn Wolf King, he actually created a harem of his own in this Great Despair and enjoyed his life?
Liu Ping suddenly felt uncomfortable.
Could it be that all these years, the way he lived was worse than a dog?
Oh, no, a wolf to be exact.
“No matter how strong you’re, you’re still a beast.” Liu Ping sneered.
Swish!
Powerful World Force erupted.
Endless force emerged from Liu Ping’s hands. He then stepped forward without hesitation.
Boom!
Part of the splendid palace suddenly collapsed.
“Who?”
“What big guts!”
In the palace, a roar echoed as a majestic aura suddenly appeared. When the aura reached them, Liu Ping’s face changed greatly.
Damn it!
This aura...
Liu Ping suddenly felt that there was a reason why he lives worse than a dog.
