Chapter 328: Unwilling
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the mother nest of the Insect Race, the huge body of the broodmother kept squirming.
“Ah!”
A miserable scream echoed throughout the cave. All the insect demons were as silent as cicadas.
“Humans!”
That vicious voice stimulated the ears of these demons again and again, as if it was constantly reminding them what a hated enemy they were facing. If they could not eliminate this enemy, their survival would be meaningless.
They had failed twice. All the demons did not know what to do now.
In their original intelligence, this should be a very simple mission. Originally, they said that the black dragon was too cautious and was frightened by a few humans. However, from the looks of it, this human was not an ordinary human.
It was completely different from what they had expected. In their impression, humans were the weakest. They were a group of weak fellows who were unable to fight back at all.
Why did they have such a huge improvement? Something must have happened to these humans. Otherwise, it was impossible for their strength to increase so much in such a short period of time.
If they didn’t come here back then, perhaps there wouldn’t have been so much trouble. However, they were already here and such a thing had happened. It was impossible to pretend that nothing had happened. It would probably be another tough battle.
The demons were filled with thoughts of retreating. Although the space where their race lived was very suppressed, they still had a life to live.
However, the few elite troops that they had sent out had been wiped out by someone. They did not even have the chance to resist. Each time, they died more and more ridiculously. This time, they instantly disappeared.
How powerful was that human to be able to do this? It was really unbelievable.
......
A dark figure appeared in the huge cave extended by the broodmother. This figure circled in midair. Although it was only a shadow, it was filled with pressure.
“Black Dragon, you tricked us so badly!”
The broodmother looked up at the black dragon hovering in midair.
Black Dragon pondered for a moment and said silently, “How can you blame me for your subordinates’ incompetence? If they were more cautious, there wouldn’t be so much trouble.”
“So you don’t bear any responsibility!”
The broodmother was very angry and looked like she was about to fight the other party. The black dragon did not want to dwell on it and took the initiative to admit its mistake.
“You can’t say that. Since we’re in the same boat, we naturally have to help each other. We shouldn’t have a disagreement at this time. Isn’t this giving that human a chance to take advantage of us?”
Although the broodmother was angry, the black dragon was already in front of her. It was a good opportunity to negotiate. She would not let go of such a heaven-sent opportunity.
“You sure have a sharp tongue. My subordinates were indeed harmed by you. Isn’t it too ridiculous for you to bluff your way through with just one sentence?”
Seeing that her anger had dissipated a lot, Black Dragon immediately said to her, “That’s easy. We’re on the same boat now. As the saying goes, we’re bound together for good or ill. I won’t abandon you.”
“That’s a nice thing to say!”
“How about this? Originally, I promised you that I would give Sea City to you. However, since you guys have suffered such a huge loss, I can’t just watch and do nothing. This time, we’ll join forces and take down that kid in Sea City. At that time, the three main cities will be yours. We’ll let them fend for themselves in other places. Don’t interfere too much. What do you think?”
The broodmother was silent for a moment before snorting coldly. “That’s easy for you to say. You can’t even reach your main body, so how can you say that you’re joining forces? You’re clearly just asking us to be your laborers.”
“I’m at a critical moment now and my main body can’t move. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come up with such a plan to invite you over.” The black dragon deliberately became more unyielding. “Consider the current situation carefully. If you don’t agree, I can release this place. At that time, I’ll return here myself. You won’t be able to get any benefits. Do you think I need to fuss over it with you?”
The broodmother thought for a moment. She had indeed been too arrogant just now. The black dragon’s strength was also unfathomable. Now that it was about to break through, this was a rare opportunity. If this fellow could successfully break through again, it would be a qualitative change.
Since there was such a good opportunity, she naturally had to grasp it tightly in her hands. Although she had lost two groups of people, it was unimportant. She had only spent some vitality.
“I can help you, but this time, you have to figure out the information.”
“Don’t worry, I’ve already investigated very clearly. There’s indeed a top expert in the human race, but that guy’s strength is average. If you can send two of your fierce generals, you can naturally capture him. However, you can’t let your guard down this time.”
“You’re saying that there’s only one person in the human race, but he destroyed tens of thousands of my troops one by one?”
“Would I lie to you?” Black Dragon said disdainfully. “I think you know better than me what kind of strength your subordinates have. They’re usually arrogant and domineering, but they’re careless when they’re really doing work. That’s why they fell into the trap of the humans step by step and were killed.”
“Enough. I don’t need you to tell me what my men are like.”
“I just wanted to remind you not to make such a big joke this time.”
As the black dragon spoke, his figure gradually faded.
“When will your clone arrive?”
“Don’t worry. My clone will naturally arrive when you start the battle.”
After the black dragon said this, the black shadow completely disappeared.
The broodmother pondered alone in this empty cave for a long time.
“Prepare the horses!”
Compared to the atmosphere in the cave, the atmosphere of the humans in Sea City was completely different.
All of them were immersed in the joy of victory. Such a victory was not easy to come by.
“I told you long ago that those demons are just a group of paper tigers. There’s nothing to be afraid of at all. Look how frightened you were before.”
“Don’t say such belated words. If not for the City Lord’s schemes, we would probably be in danger now. How can you say it so easily? I’m afraid we won’t have such a chance anymore.”
Their official explanation for this huge victory was that the fortress that Ye Qiluo had spent a huge amount of resources to build was a trap.
This was the perfect trap. It tricked the tens of thousands of demon troops into entering and killed them one by one.
Everyone in the city had also heard the loud sound. It was impossible to pretend not to hear it.
They were amazed by the City Lord’s methods, but they were still very curious that the human race could actually possess such power and wipe out the demons in the trap.
What was outstanding about this victory was the human race’s usage of array formations. How did their masterful methods change the situation? This change made everyone very excited and also made many people eager to learn array formations.
Li Yuanqing did not hide it at all. He took this opportunity to contribute the books he had written. From elementary to advanced, there were a total of ten books to teach array formation knowledge.
His knowledge reserves could be used to teach these ignorant noobs easily. He even specially set up an array master school. Once it opened, a lot of people went to sign up. This lively scene made everyone’s blood boil.
The honorary principal of this school was even more famous. She was the most famous State Preceptor here.
The Man-eating Vine was now the most stable invincible existence in the entire Sea City.
Basically, everyone would lower their voices when talking about this mysterious State Preceptor. They did not dare to offend this State Preceptor. In their hearts, the State Preceptor was a supreme being.
At this moment, the State Preceptor, the strongest person in their hearts, was standing in front of an empty space with a young man and studying it carefully.
“Master, I think this place is alright. It should be very good for building a school. What do you think?”
Although their students were full now, the address of the school had yet to be confirmed. Li Yuanqing did not care much about this matter, but the Man-eating Vine was very concerned.
It was something that meant a lot to her. As a demon, she did not know anything in the past and did not have any concept or good impression of the various knowledge of the human race.
However, under Li Yuanqing’s nurturing, she had actually become a master of her generation and even became the principal of a school. This feeling was too strange, and it made the Man-eating Vine very obsessed.
The moment the Man-eating Vine came out of seclusion, she immediately pestered Li Yuanqing and insisted on choosing a location personally to build an array master school.
“Not good, Young Master Li. A new mystic realm exit has appeared in the Western District.”
Li Yuanqing suddenly heard Ye Qiluo’s voice.
“Did any demon beasts come out?”
“Not yet. This hole has just been formed and is still very unstable. It’s just that we don’t know when demon beasts will come out. Moreover, the location of this exit is very dangerous. If there are really demon beasts, I’m afraid they will pose a huge threat to the entire Sea City.”
“Alright, I’ll take a look first.”
“Young Master Li, I’ve already sent a team to investigate first.”
Little Man looked at the large empty space and was still imagining what her school would look like in the future when Li Yuanqing brought her out of Sea City.
The mystic realm that Ye Qiluo mentioned was less than twenty miles west of Sea City. If there were demon beasts that could enter and leave, it would really be a huge threat. If they could not investigate the situation here, it would really be very dangerous.
At this moment, a few people were guarding the entrance of the mystic realm anxiously. They stuck their heads out and looked inside.
Li Yuanqing landed here while Little Man walked in front.
When the guards saw Little Man coming over, they immediately lowered their heads and lined up on both sides, shouting carefully.
“State Preceptor!”
Little Man waved her hand casually and ignored them. They walked straight to the front of the cave and looked at it for a long time.
“How’s the situation inside?”
“State Preceptor, this hole is very unstable, but we can feel energy overflowing from inside. Our preliminary guess is that this is a hole that can be entered and exited, but it has just been formed.”
After he finished speaking, the other brother immediately added, “The captain went in just now. He asked us to wait here for the State Preceptor to come over. He went in to take a look first.”
Li Yuanqing immediately asked, “How long has it been?”
Although that person did not know what Li Yuanqing was, he must have some ability to follow the State Preceptor.
“It’s been fifteen minutes. We have been waiting here. There’s no movement inside, but there was still news from the captain just now. It should be fine.”
Li Yuanqing took a step forward and arrived at the entrance in the air. His entire body disappeared.
The guards hurriedly went up to stop him, but Li Yuanqing had already disappeared without a trace.
“State Preceptor, the City Lord has instructed that we can’t enter casually. This?”
Little Man waved her hand and let them calm down. “Don’t worry. He’s very good at this. It’s good to go in and check, in case anything happens to your captain.”
Li Yuanqing entered the unstable entrance and arrived at a quiet and peaceful world. This world was very clean and there was even a faint fragrance of flowers. He was surrounded by flowers and butterflies and bees. Everything was so quiet and peaceful.
Li Yuanqing observed his surroundings. This was a large plain. Other than the flower field, there were only flying insects and weeds growing on the ground. Occasionally, there were one or two bushes, but there were no particularly tall trees. This made him feel a little strange.
He looked around but did not see anyone alive. Had that person entered?
This space looked quite safe. Then why was there no sound after that person entered? What happened?
Just as Li Yuanqing was feeling puzzled, a head suddenly stuck out from a flower patch not far away. This person looked to be in his thirties or forties. He had a small mustache and his eyes were very energetic. There was a smile on his face as he looked around happily.
