Chapter 1676: Raise A Devil
Translator: LawEditor: Hitesh_
Outside Liang Zhu City, countless ragged-clothed human slaves had been shouting hoarsely. Looking down from the sky, one could see a hundred-miles-squared foundation trench surrounded by countless people, and tens of mile-wide paths reaching straight to the trench from an unseen area, far in the north.
Specially designed pure metal carriages with their wheels sunk deep into the ground were pulled by chains. The other ends of the chains were wrapped around the waists of countless human slaves, as they had been dragging the heavy carriage with no spear pain, even putting their faces directly to the ground.
Giant pieces of obsidian squeezed a creaking noise out of the chariot. The well-polished obsidian was shaped orderly, from thirty-meter-square to hundreds of metes square, thickly covered in sell symbols, giving a frosty feeling under the sunlight, creating an indescribable dark aura, which made the human slaves quiver from time to time.
Countless Jia Clan warriors were wearing dark heavy armors, treading on metal plates wrapping in thin bolts of electric lights, hovering in the sky to supervise the slaves. Metal long whips dazzled with lightning bolts, with which, they attacked any hard-working human slave they wanted, violently.
”Lowly slaves, move faster! If the project is delayed, you'll all die!”
With eyes sparkling with a deep and dim light, these Jia Clan warriors laughed viciously, sounding like the caws of crows which delivered the news of death. Their voices were brought to far, far away by the wind.
The human slaves were signing a working song. Their deep voices spread in all directions like waves in an ocean. They carried the giant obsidians to the foundation trench, then under the directions giving by Xiu Clan architectures, they put the obsidian blocks together piece by piece.
Al obsidian blocks were processed by Xiu Clan craftsmen themselves. Put together perfectly, not even a hair-thin crack could be found between blocks, and not even the sharpest sword in the world could cut in between these blocks for a single inch.
A few enormous eagles glided across the sky, shedding faint shadows on the ground. The shadows swept across the earth. Thirty-six similar foundation trenches existed outside Liang Zhu City, composing a perfect square with six trenches on each edge.
Standing smilingly on a purely golden chariot which was taller than a hill, Yi Huo was wearing a long white shirt made from the tail feathers of happy birds, with his upper body bared and a crystal ball held in his left hand and a long golden staff in his right hand. He was looking at Gui Yi, who stood in front of him.
Gui Yi, an elder from the You Yu Family, was a cousin of Emperor Shun's father and served as the seneschal of You Yu Family. He had been managing all kinds of home affairs of the family. He was a powerful man at a high position, an important member of the human society. Normally, he wouldn't step into any affair of the human society, but during Emperor Shun's term of service, Gui Yi was highly influential among human beings.
With his eyes red as blood and pupils like a pair of slowly spinning black lotuses, Si Yi looked at Yu Huo from head to toe while narrowing those eyes.
Yu Huo was also looking at him without saying a word or showing an expression. From his body, a dark light had been shining, which made him look like a man-shaped dark sun, sitting legs-crossed on top of the golden chariot while glowing. The dark light penetrated the chariot, the space, and the bodies of all human slaves and Jia Clan warriors in construction sites> But near Gui Yu's body, the dark light twisted weirdly.
Gui Yi's standing point was like a rock in a rapidly flowing river, that all the lights had to steer clear and then return to their paths behind him, towards the horizon.
