Chapter 1138: Extremely High Death Rate

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was the seal of the leader of Hansworth.

Sayge Doyle and his daughter quietly left, not daring to mention today’s events again, as long as Braydon Neal didn’t pursue it. If Braydon let it go, the Doyle family also wanted to move past this matter.

Lowell Neal spoke, “Braydon, the situation outside is complicated. Why not stay in the Neal Mansion?”

“If I stay, I’m afraid Aunt Karen will have a sleepless night. This Neal Mansion cannot accommodate both me and Skylar. Staying elsewhere will be more comfortable for all of us.”

Braydon once again refused Lowell’s offer.

Braydon and Skylar Neal would not reside in this Neal Mansion.

At this moment, not far away on the street, a figure in black suddenly appeared.

It was Shadow!

One of the eight generals.

He arrived silently, bowed and greeted, “Young Master, the master has already arranged a place for you to stay.”

“Let’s go, then!”

Braydon nodded lightly.

He had no resistance to the accommodation arranged by his teacher, Finley Yanagi.

Old Devil Yanagi treated Braydon as his own son, so the place he had arranged must be suitable for Braydon to live in.

Sapphire Neal was somewhat surprised and asked, “Braydon, do you know other people on the South Pole Island?”

“Braydon’s acquaintances on the South Pole Island may not be fewer than yours!”

Lowell said.

Seeing Old Devil Yanagi personally arranging Braydon’s residence, he couldn’t help but feel relieved.

Jayven Neal didn’t want to stay at home, afraid that Lowell would scold him, so he scurried away with Braydon.

They were all of the same generation, and they all came from the Neal family, making them cousins.

They felt close to each other.

The accommodation arranged by Finley was not far from here, more to the north on the South Pole Island.

In an open area covering a hundred acres, with overgrown weeds, there was a dilapidated pavilion. A murky pond surrounded the pavilion, and there was a shabby thatched house.

Shadow bowed and said, “Young Master, this is the residence arranged by the master.”

“Is this place meant for people to live in?”

Jayven exclaimed immediately.

But Sapphire frowned slightly and scolded, “Shut up, what nonsense are you talking about!”

The northern part of the South Pole Island was the territory of various giants, and most of them lived here.

This spacious hundred-acre area must belong to one of the giants.

Sapphire, who grew up on the South Pole Island, had heard faint rumors about this place.

The owner of this place is the owner of the 14th ruin.

His surname was Yanagi!

It was rumored that he was an extremely powerful giant. Over a decade ago, he settled on the South Pole Island and rose up, becoming a rising giant.

Braydon looked around at the surroundings and chuckled, “Is the teacher trying to tell me that this is not the northern territory, and I have to depend on myself?”

“I dare not speculate on the actions of the master.”

Shadow responded sincerely.

Braydon waved his hand slightly, indicating that Shadow could go about his business.

Shadow tactfully disappeared.

Jayven frowned and said, “Braydon, this place is such a mess. How can you live here?”

“Rebuilding is all it takes; it’s not difficult.”

Skylar’s face was very calm, accustomed to it from childhood to adulthood.

Their teacher, once known as the Devil King, never acted according to common sense.

The Northern Army siblings were accustomed to it.

Sapphire nodded in agreement, saying, “Land is precious on the South Pole Island. As long as there is land, the cost of building houses is not much. By the way, the currency used outside is not valid on the South Pole Island.”

“The South Pole Island gathers martial artists from the hundred countries. The currency of each country is only applicable to ordinary people. However, since everyone on the South Pole Island is a martial artist, transactions are generally conducted through barter or using spirit stones.”

Jayven took out a small thumb-sized stone from his pocket.

It was a hexagonal-shaped stone, entirely resembling white amber, with seemingly low purity.

This was a small spirit stone, the currency of the South Pole Island.

Braydon glanced at it; he had seen these things before. Moreover, he had consumed many precious spirit medicines in the outside world.

Braydon walked into the thatched house, which was very simple, containing only a mat and a statue of a young man, nothing else.

He whispered, “The South Pole Island has a population of over a million, gathering martial artists from the hundred countries. The daily consumption is a huge number. If spirit stones are used as currency, a large number of spirit stones are needed to support it. Where do they come from?”

“There are spirit veins and even spirit stone mines in each ruin.”

Jayven said nonchalantly.

This information was common knowledge on the South Pole Island.

Braydon’s eyes showed a glimmer of insight.

The South Pole Island was indeed a world of martial artists.

The resources for cultivating were probably equivalent to ten percent of the storage of all nations worldwide.

Thinking of this, Braydon wanted to bring the Northern Army to guard the South Pole Island and control all the resources.

Unfortunately, it seemed impossible now.

The South Pole Island was full of hidden elites, gathering powerhouses from the hundred countries. Various forces were intertwined, each having their own share of the cake.

Once these people’s interests were touched, it would undoubtedly be seen as an act of hostility.

Braydon looked at Skylar and said, “Luke and the others have entered the 14th ruin. Let’s go in and take a look today.”

“Sure!”

Skylar always followed his brother.

Jayven, on the side, gulped and asked in a low voice, “Are you guys going into the ruins?”

“Any problem with that?” Skylar looked at his cousin.

Jayven pouted and said, “The ruins are extremely dangerous. If you aren’t careful, you could die inside. I’ve only been inside once since I was a child.”

“It is indeed dangerous inside. The mortality rate for pinnacle martial artists who enter for a year exceeds thirty percent. The longer one stays inside, the higher the mortality rate.”

Sapphire spoke of the danger inside the ruins.

For pinnacle martial artists entering for a year, a mortality rate of over thirty percent was not low.

After all, their opponents were pinnacle martial artists.

For martial artists below the pinnacle realm, the mortality rate inside the ruins was likely double.

After all, the strength of king-level martial artists and war-god-level martial artists was incomparable to that of pinnacle martial artists.

Braydon smiled lightly, “It’s only through danger that people can be tempered. In the battleground at the northern territory, ten years ago, the monthly injury rate was 95%, and the death rate was 36%!”

During that period, it was the most difficult time for the Northern Army.

Almost everyone in the Northern Army was injured while resisting the attacks of the eight foreign countries.

In that oppressive period, people could fall into a state of madness.

Yet, precisely under such high-pressure conditions, the Northern Army siblings endured.

Jayven’s eyes widened, and he asked in a low voice, “Braydon, you’ve been on the battlefield too?”

“We witnessed the cruelty of the battlefield and the scenes of limbs and fragments, blood flowing, and corpses floating at the age of seven.”

Skylar spoke of the environment they grew up in.

This made Jayven secretly swallow his saliva.

Obviously, he had not experienced any of these!

Braydon chuckled, “You two go back. Skylar and I are going to go and see the 14th ruin.”

“I’ll go with you!”

Sapphire didn’t hesitate. She wanted to accompany her two brothers to the ruins because she was born and raised here, and she was much more familiar with the environment inside the ruins than Braydon and Skylar.
