Chapter 1419: No War in Liang Zhu City

It was a rainy day. On the broad plain area in the south of Liang Zhu City, the grasses had already reached the height of human waists. The boundless, shiny green grassland was decorated with different sized mushrooms and wildflowers, blooming thrivingly. Within the light of sight, differently colored flowers were everywhere. Marmots and other small creatures had been popping out from the grass. Habits took family as a unit and leaped out of their nests. These scrawny creatures crazily wolfed the grass to replenish the energy they had burned in the past few years.
In the meanwhile, skinny wolves wandered through the grass, as silent as ghosts. Occasionally, shrill screams could be heard as poor small creatures were caught by them. A faint blood scent spread in the air. Occasionally, the wolves would give echoing howls of satisfaction.
A group of metal plates had been slowly hovering in the air, about a hundred meters high from the ground. That was a troop of dark-kind slave warriors and a few Xiu Clan scholars, on a daily patrol. The dark-kind warriors vigilantly looked around, while the Xiu Clan scholars were writing down their new discoveries on papers.
”The life-force of this world is way too strong. It's only been a few days since the flood has receded, but the world has already come back to life, almost entirely.”
”Strong life-force means inexhaustible resources. Among all worlds we have conquered, this is the richest one. I even suspect that this world is even richer than our homew…”
”Shut up! You do not say such outrageous words! Supreme Saint Pan Yu, the creator of the world, the dominator of the world… The three suns and nine moons are your eyes, and showering under your never-ending glow, we will conquer everything!”
The few Xiu Can scholars whispered to each other. Abruptly, a dark-kind warrior burst with a shout, ”Look, a troop is approaching from the south! Eh? Which family is this slave-hunting troop from? So lucky! Didn't they run into our main force in Chi Ban Mountain? They haven't been brought into the main force!”
Another dark-kind warrior threw a sideways glance at him and said, ”Stupid! Since they're slave hunters, how would they come through the main path in Chi Ban Mountain? They must have used the secret passage hiding in Chi Ban Market…Hah, as long as they avoid meeting the main force, those outer circle patrol troops are easy to deal with, with nothing but…”
This dark-kind slave warrior craftily rubbed his thumb, forefinger, and middle fingers together, as if he were counting jade coins.
The metal plates slowly descended and stopped in midair, lesser than six-feet from the ground. Under the metal plates, dim lightning bolts sparkled and covered the grasses down below with an extremely faint layer of lightning bolts. Along with sizzling noises, fire sparkles burst from the grasses.
In the thick growth of grass, over ten three-meters wide circles emerged. Within the circles, all grasses were pressed down to the ground in one direction. The slave-hunting troop approached, while tens of flags fluttered in the sky.
”Glowing Gold Chamber of Commerce, Sparkling Gold Chamber of Commerce, Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce…Ah, it's an allied slave-hunting army! Today is our lucky day.”
A group of Yu Clan nobles mounted on tall and muscular four-horned white deers held their heads high and rushed over. Seeing this patrol troop from Liang Zhu City, they glanced at each other. With large steps, a Jia Clan warrior walked over.
”Hmm, you saw nothing today, right?” The Jia Clan warrior puffed up his chest and glared at the dark-kind warriors on the metal plates. In Yu Dynasty, Jia Clan people were noble warriors. Their social status was much higher than dark-kind slave warriors.
The group of slave warriors hurriedly bowed to him and said, ”Sir, we saw nothing.”
