Chapter 217: Perilous Situation
After SongZhong said that, he realised that the atmosphere was a little tense. He hurriedly turned and looked at everyone around him and realised that apart from Mu ZiRong, everyone had fear in their faces. They all stared at the silverish white eagle as though the embodiment of death was staring at them in the face.Especially the most cowardly Old Poison, he was scared to the point he almost trembled while mumbling to himself, “We’re dead for sure, we’re definitely dead for sure this time!”
Although SiYu and SiYun were not as cowardly, their faces also turned pale and despaired. Even Stone, who was usually indifferent towards almost everything, also could not help but have a change in expression.
As for the headstrong Naked Skinning Witch, her face turned ashen. Then, she gritted her teeth and stomped her food on the ground, “Since things have been reduced to such a state, don’t blame me!”As SongZhong heard that, he was instantly stunned. He thought that the Naked Skinning Witch wanted to fight him right at this moment and readied his battle stance. Mu ZiRong also brandished her Divine Azure Shadowless Sword as she glared at the Naked Skinning Witch.
But, the Naked Skinning Witch had no intention of attacking. Instead, she took a step back as she slapped her chest with both hands. With a loud bang, the Naked Skinning Witch spat out a mouthful of blood.As SongZhong and Mu ZiRong saw that, they were completely dumbfounded and did not know what was going on. Why did she suddenly torture herself like that? Will torturing herself increase her battle prowess?
Following which, they understood what happened. After the Naked Skinning Witch spit out a mouthful of blood, she casted a few spells with her blood. Then, she activated her magical Qi and shouted, “Ten Thousand Miles Blood Escaping Art!”
Following that voice, the Naked Skinning Witch became shrouded in a crimson light and disappeared in a flash.
SongZhong and Mu ZiRong was instantly taken aback. They had both heard of the Ten Thousand Miles Blood Escaping Art before and knew that it was a life saving secret art which one would only use as a last resort measure. Although it is able to send someone ten thousand miles away, it will also greatly harm one’s vitality. Despite the Naked Skinning Witch being a peak foundational cultivator, she will be bedridden for at least half a year with a few years of recovery period for her to recover to her peak state. She would also have to delay a.s.sailing the JinDan stage for at least more than a decade as well. It was broad daylight without any dangers at all. The only exception was 4th grade demonic beasts which posed negligible threat. Besides, they were all about to go back already and the flying boat was capable of providing a safe and swift journey. Why did she have to use the Ten Thousand Mile Blood Escaping Art despite the repercussions? SongZhong and Mu ZiRong were both puzzled about this matter and just could not understand.
As Old Poison by the side saw that, he could not help but scold, “That darn witch, to think she is still the team leader! She actually ran away!”
As SiYu and SiYun heard that, they could not help but say with a bitter laughter, “If she stays behind, she will only die with us. Escaping would still be better than her dying with all of us right? It is just a pity for junior brother Song and junior sister Mu. It is only their first mission and they will have to perish in the Eastern Ocean. It is really such a great pity!”
“What?” As SongZhong heard that, he immediately replied in shock, “Just what is going on? Why are we dead for sure? Can you guys explain it to me?”
“Haiz!” SiYu and SiYun sighed and pointed towards the silverish white eagle, “Did you see that eagle? That is the recce of Eagle King Shan’er, who is an amba.s.sador of the Eastern Ocean Surveillance Corps. She will be here in a moment and we will be dead for sure!”
“This?” SongZhong then said with a bitter laughter, “Can I ask, just what is the Eastern Ocean Surveillance Corps? Who is Eagle King Shan’er? Can you guys be a little clearer?”
“Ah, I’m sorry, I forgot that you are new in the Eastern Ocean. Forget it, let me explain it to you guys so you will die a knowing death!” SiYu and SiYun then began to explain, “It’s like this!”
Following which, SiYu and SiYun explained all the relevant information to SongZhong and Mu ZiRong. The demonic beasts of the Eastern Ocean were not all scattered. Those high grade beast, especially those of the 6th grade and above, were able to transform into human forms and possess intellect no lower than humans. As time pa.s.sed, these intelligent creatures created a country in the depths of the Eastern Ocean called the Eastern Ocean Empire.
With regards to this empire, humans only know its name. They were clueless about the specifics like the population number, who the king was, the hierarchical structure of the place. The only thing they knew was that the territorial borders of the Eastern Ocean Empire was where the Eastern Ocean and Vast Mountain met. Furthermore, all the demonic beasts here were their citizens.
Thus, when their population became too big to be sustained, they would lead an incursion on the Vast Mountains to prevent any internal conflicts.
