Chapter 484
On the east side of the Daxia Kingdom, in a coastal area.
Two powerful Hunters held sharp blades in their hands. The blades were covered in blazing flames. With a single slash, they broke through the flexible and slippery snake skin. A fragrant smell of meat permeated the air.
“Phew —I finally finished off this nest of strange beast snakes. I’m exhausted.”
Another person passed over the dead snake corpse and arrived at the center of the snake nest. He squatted down and carefully picked up the lotus shaped plant at the center of the snake nest.
“The mission is complete. Unfortunately, our spatial backpack is too small. What a pity…”
He put the lotus-shaped plant into a storage box made of Origin Crystals and then put it into his spatial backpack. Just as he stood up, a chill suddenly rushed up his spine to the sky.
There was danger!
A fatal crisis!
In an instant, it was as if the sky had changed color. Death was waving at him, and time seemed to slow down, but his limbs were extremely stiff.
“Quick… come…”
He took a step forward, and his Origin Energy had already made contact with the Return Scroll in his arms. Another Hunter also ran over with fear on his face.
The distance between the two of them was only about ten meters. However, just as they lifted their feet, their thoughts paused for a moment…
His pupils instantly widened, and blood flowed out from his seven orifices.
Plop, he fell straight down.
In the sky, three Blood Clan Transcendents descended.
Just now, they had used their powerful mental energy to suppress the two human Hunters, instantly killing them.
A Transcendent’s spiritual force turned into a large hand and groped around the two human corpses. Soon, he poured out all the items in his arms, his pockets, and his spatial backpack. His spiritual force held them up and suspended them in the air.
“Found it, Return Scroll!”
He grinned, revealing his sharp fangs. This was the expression that the Blood Evil Clan often had when they expressed their excitement and joy.
“It’s a pity that there is only one. However, this also means that our plan is feasible.”
“It’s just that these ‘high status’ Hunters are hard to find.”
“We can’t be sure if they will bring back the city scroll beforehand. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, it is not good to launch a large attack… I’m afraid it will take a few more days. “
He looked at the person in charge of the operation and was speechless.
However, he saw that her mouth was closed and her brows were furrowed.
“It’s not that simple.” The speechless elder recalled the details. “Tree Shade and the other Hunters are very sensitive to danger. They actually noticed our ambush If not for the fact that they only have one Return Scroll but two instead, they would not have needed to meet up. Just now, they might have escaped.”
“Then…?”
“If we attack again, it is very likely that they will escape. Once they are detected, it will not be worth it.” She said, “One Return Scroll is enough. Since it can take two people, squeeze a bit, three people will do.”
“When the time comes I will disguise and sneak into Tree Shade. Just in case, you should prepare outside Tree Shade. If you succeed, make sure to block the escape routes of Tree Shade and the others. If the plan fails…”
“How can it fail”
“This is the reason why you can’t become an elder… There must be two plans for the plan. Even if it fails, you must ensure that you retreat safely. Our clan can not follow the footsteps of the Ghost Hand and the White Bone Clan.”
…
As the time for the city-building ceremony approached, the construction of Tree Shade’s defensive circle was gradually perfected.
Unlike other large shelters, which relied on small towns and counties to build, the area was not large enough, and the space between the buildings was small. At first glance, the planning was particularly messy.
There was no other way. At the time of the apocalypse, it was not easy to have a shelter that could resist the Demonic Tide. How could he have the time to plan the buildings neatly?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTree Shade was one of them.
The original resort mountain villa was almost completely destroyed under the Demonic Tide. Outside the mountain villa, large tracts of barren land had been developed and unified planning. The OCD sufferers looked very comfortable.
“Now Tree Shade is divided into two parts: the inner and outer areas of the city.”
“The inner area of the city is also a high-end residential area, and the commercial district is mainly two parts. The famous ‘Adventurer Guild’ and ‘Extreme Martial Arts Dojo’ headquarters are also in the inner area of the city… As for the ‘Trading House’, the entire commercial street can be seen as a trading house.”
“As for the outer area of the city, it is currently divided into several areas, such as car stations, industrial parks, plantation, outer ring one, outer ring two, outer ring three, and so on.”
A guide introduced.
Behind him was a group of young men and women.
“What kind of building is that? Why are there so many people coming in and out?”
One of them pointed at a very eye-catching sixty-meter-tall building in the distance, as well as the city walls. Nowadays, in order to be safe, there were very few buildings that were built as high.
However, in Tree Shade, there were almost no signs of demonic beasts within a radius of a hundred kilometers. No matter how high it was built, there was no problem.
The buildings in their royal capital were even taller.
The guide said, “That is a training camp. It belongs to the most important building under the banner of the ‘Extreme Martial Arts Dojo’. The reason why our Tree Shade has so many experts is largely due to the training camp.”
The eyes of the young boys and girls lit up.
Tree Shade’s awakened was very strong. This was something that everyone recognized during the Holy LandQualification Selection.
However, as a young genius of the Ancient Spirit Imperial Clan, it was only a basic operation to fight someone of a higher level.
He did not think he was inferior.
He was also curious about whether Tree Shade’s training camp was worthy of its name.
“Let’s go in and take a look.”
…
In the training camp, people came and went. Some were sweating at the training equipment, some were standing in front of the punching machine with a serious expression, breathing in and exhaling.
There were also quite a few areas that were empty.
“Although there are quite a few people right now, in reality, most of the Hunters in the level three training camp are above the fourth level. Because of the price, there are many people in the level one and two training camp.”
“If the few of you intend to try in the training camp, you can apply for a membership card over there to recharge. You can also directly throw Origin Crystals into the machine’s crystal inlet and use them according to the energy value of the Origin Crystals. However, only members can enter the level four and above high-level training area.”
Before the guide could finish speaking, a young man in the lead came to the front desk to apply for a recharging fee. After some operation, he applied for thirteen membership cards.
“Here, one for each person. I have filled each person with a thousand Origin Crystals. You can spend them however you like.” The luxuriously dressed youth had the people beside him distribute the twelve cards, not putting the Origin Crystals in his eyes at all.
The guide looked at them in surprise.
Thirteen cards added up to over ten thousand Origin Crystals. It was not a small sum, but it was directly recharged without any understanding of the training camp.
He should be someone with some background.
He secretly paid, but it was just a surprise. As a senior guide, he had been in the profession for more than three months. What kind of big character had he not seen?
The guide quickly fulfilled his duty and introduced the training equipment around him.
This is a fist strength testing machine. Over there is a speed testing runway. It looks like a crystal ball. Next to it are two columns. They are source power measuring instruments… These are all commonly used machines to test the number of Hunters.
“This little machine…” A teenager walked to the fist strength testing machine and touched it. It was cold and reflected the shiny metal luster under the light.
He bent his finger again and flicked it gently.
Wham!
…
There was only a low muffled sound, and there was not a single trace on the surface of the metal.
However, the youth was still worried. “Can this really withstand the full-strength attack of any Hunter? We don’t need to compensate for it if it is damaged, right?”
“No, of course not. Not only that, the training camp has also stated that as long as one’s strength is at the awakened realm, anyone who can destroy this level three fist strength testing machine will receive a reward worth a hundred thousand Origin Crystals.”
The guide smiled. “At first, there were many people who tried, but none of them succeeded. Until now, no one knows the limits of the fist strength testing machine. Gradually, no one is plotting for the reward.”
The eyes of this group of young men and women lit up.
A hundred thousand Origin Crystals was a considerable sum to most of them.
Even the leading youth, the grandson of the current patriarch of the Ancient Spirit Imperial Family, couldn’t help but take a few more glances. Not to mention a hundred thousand Origin Crystals, if he could destroy this machine, it would be a matter of great face!
They rubbed their hands together in anticipation.
One of them came to the fist strength testing machine first, took out a membership card and swiped it. In a split second, the entire testing machine, including the floor, lit up.
“Please clear the testing area, the testing area is reserved only for the one activating this machine.”
The mechanical voice sounded.
The youth’s eyes focused, and his aura rose. An invisible storm swept around, and his clothes fluttered.
“Ha!”
His body instantly tensed up, and his right foot stomped on the ground. The force passed through his waist to his arm, and his muscles bulged.
His fist was like a cannonball, and it flew straight out!
Weng!!
The strong force pierced through the air, creating circles of solid ripples. Like a hurricane, the strong gust of wind blew onto the transparent crystal wall around the testing machine, but it disappeared in an instant.
The millstone-sized target trembled.
On the testing machine, the number displayed on the crystal screen jumped and rose rapidly.
1,000, 3,000, 1,000, 3,000, 5,000…
In the end, it stopped at the number 56467 kg.
The young man exhaled a mouthful breath. It was unclear whether the number was good or bad, but this fist strength testing machine was obviously intact. It did not look like it was damaged at all.
“Let me do it!”
Boom!
The number jumped and stopped at 44789 kg.
Boom!
Boom!
The last person to go on stage was the grandson of the clan leader. The sonic boom caused the entire testing area to become blurry.
The number on the final display screen was 101123 kg.
The guide looked at these people and was shocked. In terms of results, they were ranked at the top of the previous tests, especially the last youth.
However, these youths and girls from the Ancient Spirit Imperial Clan were extremely depressed.
As geniuses of the Imperial Clan, they were the best of the same level. Their strength was at the ninth, tenth, and eleventh levels, and their combat strength was even enough to kill ordinary great circle cultivators. Now, they could not even break a small fist strength testing machine.
For a moment, he could not help but doubt himself.
“It’s normal that you can’t beat them. You are already very strong, and your results are enough to rank in the top 100.”
He was referring to the last teenager.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, it was fine if he did not comfort them. When the guide said it, the geniuses of Ancient Spirit became even more depressed. “I… We are only in the top 100?”
…
Near the city-building ceremony, the representatives of some forces had already arrived at Tree Shade in advance.
Most of them were shelters in Tiannan Province, some were high-level, and some were the leaders of the shelters.
Groups of cars drove in, and the carriages were full of merchandises.
“It’s the team from Mirror Lake. Wow, two cars of gifts.”
“Look, it’s Jing City’s team and ten trucks. Damn it, why are they so rich? Can’t they give them to the poor?”
“Luo Xia from East Sea Province actually came so early. I know that person. He is the number one big shot in Luo Xia Shelter. I heard that Luo Xia is ranked in the top five in the shelter of Daxia Kingdom. The big shot even came personally.”
“Not only Luo Xia, I heard that she also invited Northern Court. In a few days, we might see Northern Court’s team.”
The masses discussed among themselves.
The convoy from various forces did not keep a low profile at all. They all congratulated Tree Shade for building a city and for the establishment of the defense circle. Even the boxes of gifts that were sent were moved out of the car in front of the survivors – of course, they did not open it directly.
They just needed to set up a banner on the convoy and write “Congratulations to Tree Shade” and the like.
It looked a little unreserved.
However, it was not difficult to understand.
The shelters in Tiannan Province relied on Tree Shade.
The production of rune equipment was limited, and if one did not perform well, how could they get good stuff from Tree Shade?
If they could build a good relationship in advance, and if the shelter encountered a crisis, they could ask for support from Tree Shade. At the critical moment, they could save the shelter and save their lives.
The tens of higher-ups and leaders of the shelter came in person. For a time, Tree Shade’s momentum rose, and the Hunter who had just arrived at Tree Shade were shocked.
This influence was really not simple.
Some people knew that at this moment, there were still a few days before the city-building ceremony, and the real heavyweight forces had not yet appeared.
Among them, Ten Great Sacred Grounds, Ancient Spirit, Northern Court, and so on, there might be one or two top forces that would be participating in Tree Shade’s ceremony.
…
The invitations had already been sent out, and the other nine top forces had already expressed that they would send people to congratulate them.
Northern Court, who had a close relationship with them, had already arrived at Tree Shade yesterday.
However, it was relatively low-key. The main purpose of this team was to trade supplies with Tree Shade. The team that would officially visit would be in a few days.
Tang Yu moved the crystal ball to observe the situation in the territory. The team from the Ancient Spirit Emperor Clan also saw it. Including some spies from top forces. On the surface, they would only come in a few days. But in the dark, some people had already entered Tree Shade to investigate.
He did not care. Now, he had enough confidence. Whether it was in the face of malicious forces or foreign races, he had ways to protect himself and even counterattack.
He only ordered the Hunters of the garrison corps to patrol more these days and let the intelligence department keep an eye on some malicious Hunters.
At any time, it could add a lot of labor to the mine.
As the time approached, there were only three days left before the City Creation Ceremony. In these days, teams of foreign forces arrived one after another.
The masses went from shock to numbness.
The most excited ones were the small editors and reporters such as “Tree Shade Daily”, “Adventurer Daily”, and so on. The sales of all kinds of newspapers had obviously increased a lot and there were also sales in other places.
Finally,
A massive object appeared from the horizon. In the blink of an eye, it had already flown close to Tree Shade. It slowed down and slowly descended.
“That is… an airship? Why does it not look like it?”
The dark blue airship slowly descended. Several white-robed figures did not wait for the airship to land before they gracefully descended from the sky.
A few knowledgeable experts furrowed their brows and pondered for a moment. They looked at the airship in the sky that was decorated differently and did not have a flight number. They suddenly blurted out, “That is the airship of the Mage Alliance. The Mage Alliance is here as well!”
