Chapter 40
"Although the Dead River in the Southern Region has existed since ancient times, it is said that a long, long time ago, the creatures in the Southern Region were able to leave..." said the fairy with gold and silver eyes slowly.
"Why?" Lu Mi asked.
"Because there are gods who guide people. If you call their names on the River of Death, they will appear before those who have lost their way."
Zuo Fa and You Fa on the side took this opportunity to chime in: "That's right, that's right! There are rumors that we fairies are the descendants of those extradition gods!"
When the two men talked about this, their eyes lit up, and they were obviously proud of it and looking forward to it.
"But that's just a legend after all." Ka Nuo folded his arms and said meaningfully, "According to what you said, you are the only creatures in the Southern Territory who can leave now. Doesn't that mean that everyone else who wants to leave will have to look for you?"
As soon as Kano finished speaking, the faces of several goblins changed.
Lu Mi glanced at Kano, and the devil spread his hands innocently, which made him helpless.
"I'm always quite casual with my words, so don't mind me." Kano admitted his mistake, and Lu Mi glanced at him thoughtfully. Okay, although it was too blunt, it was indeed a problem.
“…You’re right.”
After a pause, the young fairy master regained his composure and slowly spoke again...
At the same time, on the other side of the gate——
Near the Dead River, a group of giants stood, none other than the Shura species, a species unique to the Southern Territory. These giants were now clad in armor, their faces resembling those of evil spirits from legends and legends, with a signature demonic horn on their foreheads.
It is said that the Asura species in the past were also as majestic as ghosts and gods, but eventually fell into this state due to death and killing. It is not known whether it is true or not.
But what is certain is that there is no one in the Southern Region today who is not afraid of such a group of giants. Even if they see them from afar, they would try to avoid them.
"--weigh anchor!"
One of the Shuras suddenly spoke, and his deep voice, combined with the surging tide of the Dead River, caused the earth to shake slightly.
Surrounding them were a group of other alien species from the Southern Territory, both beast-like and human-like.
On the Dead River, where black mist was floating, a huge ship - a ship that seemed extremely large even to a giant - was swaying in a place that could barely be called a harbor.
Following the giant's order, the alien species from the southern region surrounding the ship did not dare to delay and immediately pulled up the ropes.
The big ship raised anchor and hoisted sails with a sound of tugging.
Among the alien species on the shore, a young man with a ghost mask was looking up at the scene, his brows slightly furrowed behind the mask.
At this moment, a group of fairies were suddenly driven up from the big ship. Each of them had a rope tied to their body. They flew to the front of the ship and dragged it hard, just like a boat on dry land.
"...The number is even smaller than before." The companion who was hiding in the crowd with the ghost-faced boy whispered. The companion looked at the fairy species with sympathy. If this continued, it would only be a matter of time before the race was wiped out.
"Yeah." The ghost-faced boy's eyes narrowed slightly.
At this time, the big ship had moved forward a little distance in the Dead River, and then quickly returned.
"This experiment went one hundred and fifty meters further than the last time." A black-horned giant said with narrowed eyes.
"It's only 150 meters. Compared to the Dead River, it's just a drop in the ocean!" Another green-horned giant shouted anxiously, dissatisfied. "When can we all leave here? Hey, you guys are not slacking off, are you?"
“!!”
Everyone looked at the goblin trembling and couldn't help but look away with sympathy.
Until the black-horned giant who had come from the beginning stopped him and said, "Forget it, they are important resources. The king specifically instructed them to do so."
"Hmph." The blue-horned giant withdrew his hand unhappily, muttering, "Didn't they say there's a powerful pure-blooded fairy out there? If we could just capture him, there wouldn't be any problems, right? Why haven't we made any progress yet?"
"Pi Sutong has been guarding that door. As long as that door is opened..."
Before the giant finished speaking, suddenly, a shocking howl of pain was heard in the distance, and at the same time, a strong smell of blood drifted towards this side along with the surging wind.
The giants' faces changed as they smelled the bloody odor. "It's Pi Sutong's blood...!"
"How could he be so badly injured? Who here could hurt him?!"
"Could it be that something happened at the gate?"
The group of giants had no time to care about other people. They just hurriedly instructed their men to guard the ship and take the fairies back into custody, then hurriedly left in the direction where the smell of blood came from.
"...Did you see it?" When the giants walked away, the people who stayed there looked at each other, and the companion of the ghost-faced boy couldn't help but whispered in surprise.
The ghost-faced boy nodded immediately, "I think this is very important! Go back first and tell everyone about it."
"What about you?"
The ghost-faced boy raised his head and stared into the distance, "I'll go over and take a look."
…
"So the Shuras started hunting you on a large scale because they wanted to build a huge ship that could carry them across the Dead River?"
The fairy nodded affirmatively at Lu Mi's words. "Our flesh and blood has the power to purify the dead energy. In the beginning, many of our compatriots were killed, their blood drained and smeared on the giant ship... Later, when they realized the fairy population was scarce, they switched from killing to capturing them alive."
Lu Mi: "What will they do after leaving the Southern Region?"
"Probably... occupying territory and starting a war. The Shuras are a warlike race, and the Southern Territory has been practically razed to the ground by their cavalry over the years."
Hearing this, Kano glanced at Lu Mi jokingly, then smiled politely, "They are so confident."
Apart from anything else, if one dared to come to the Northern Territory, where the demon species were most numerous, the scene would surely be quite interesting. Unfortunately, perhaps that time would never come.
"So, what are you going to do?" Kano asked, casting a questioning gaze at the silver-eyed young man. "Keeping the door open isn't a solution."
Although the devil didn't mind, as he rarely interfered in the affairs of the two worlds, the silver-eyed young man obviously would not sit idly by.
At this moment, Zuo Fa and You Fa also focused their shining gazes on the silver-eyed youth. Although they had been saying things like "find the young master and save the tribe," they themselves had long been accustomed to considering the human in front of them as their backbone in critical moments without even realizing it.
Lu Mi pondered for a moment under the gaze of the crowd, then raised his eyes and said, "Then let them know that this door already has an owner."
*
In the southern region of the abyss, the place where the gate is located is a "shipyard" specially opened for large ships. It is not far from the Dead River. The location was probably originally chosen for the purpose of capturing goblins and building ships to test a dragon.
The Asuras who had gathered by the river were the ones assigned to be in charge of this plan. After all, this was a plan that the entire Asura clan attached great importance to, so these giants were also subordinates relied upon by the Asura king and were not sent here casually.
When the ghost-faced boy arrived here, the giant named Pi Sutong had been surrounded by other giants.
The huge shipyard is more like a monster factory, filled with bizarre scenes from another world. The enslaved alien species coming and going are enough to make people terrified.
The alien species coming and going were frightened by the rare gathering of Shuras, and they wanted to reduce their presence as much as possible and dared not peek at them.
"Has something serious happened?" they wondered in their hearts, "Could it be that the King of the Shuras is about to issue some new orders?"
In the eyes of the giants, bandaging after being injured was not a thought. They stared at Pi Sutong's palm. The Green-Horned Giant sneered, "To be injured by someone from another world is simply a shame among Shuras!"
"Aren't the creatures in the world on the other side of the door said to be very weak?" Another black-horned giant frowned fiercely.
Although the Southern Region is almost closed, over the long centuries, there are still some fairy species coming in and out, or some abyss species from other regions come in through the abyss cracks and then cannot get out.
Through the mouths of these creatures, the Southern Region also knew a little bit about the outside world and the other world, but compared to the completely unrelated other world, the Shuras here were more obsessed with other areas of the abyss itself.
The giant named Pisaotong let out a strange cry.
Everyone then realized that Pi Sutong was a mute, and was arranged here only because of Kong's strong martial arts skills.
"Tsk." The green-horned giant snorted in frustration, then looked towards the already-open door with murderous eyes, "That pure-blooded fairy should be over there."
The black-horned giant frowned, "What do you want to do? Don't be impulsive."
The other giants nodded in agreement. "Pi Sutong has already alerted the enemy. If they had any sense, they would have already escaped by now. We should get this information back to the royal city as quickly as possible..."
These words clearly had some intimidating power. The Green-Horned Giant gradually stopped shouting. But the next second, everyone couldn't help but sigh, "Huh?" and suddenly looked up.
"...Hey!" A fairy suddenly appeared from the doorway in mid-air. Seeing them all looking at him, he waved stiffly, greeting them.
“…”
There was a pause of about a full second before everyone snapped back to their senses and blurted out in unison—"Fairykin!?"
The ghost-faced boy, who had also witnessed this scene, was also taken aback, almost shouting "Danger!" He then quickly looked at the other giants – no, there were too many of them, and he wasn't sure if he could successfully escape with them if he charged in…
"Alright!" The green-horned giant took a sudden step forward. "I didn't come looking for you, but you came to me on your own, seeking death—!"
After saying that, the giant hand with brass knuckles swung out with a punch. Seeing this, the black-horned giant on the side hurriedly shouted: "Be careful not to kill him!"
The green-horned giant roared in a deep voice: "No need for you to remind me!"
Zuo Fa's face was filled with terror. He rushed back towards the door without looking back, still yelling frantically, "Wu ...
Who is Lu Mi?
This thought flashed through the minds of everyone present. Pi Sutong suddenly started screaming and beating his chest again. However, this reaction of "old mentally retarded" in the eyes of everyone did not attract their attention.
Zuo Fa ran back frantically, and the gold ornaments on his body fell to the ground with clatter. Even though he was heartbroken, he had no time to pick them up - Woo woo woo, his favorite bracelet!
The green-horned giant's hand suddenly chased the other into the door.
It has to be said that although this door is very large for most people, it is still a bit difficult for the Shuras, whose average height is more than 100 meters.
On the other side of the door, Lu Mi, who had been prepared for a long time, raised his silver spear and said, "Here I come."
Zuo Fa rushed out of the door in panic, while Lu Mi met the giant palm that obviously did not belong to the previous Shura.
"The first word--" the young man with silver eyes said this, and the silver spear took off from the palm of the person who came, and slashed it with a few strokes.
Completely ignoring the roar of the giant coming from the other side of the door, the fairy caught the left method with the right method, and the young master on the side was purifying the splattered blood of the giant.
"Hey! What happened to you?!" In the Southern Region, everyone supported the green-horned giant who fell backwards and looked at his bloody hands.
Pi Sutong's sobbing roar was particularly harsh in the eyes of the crowd, like a mockery. Several giants immediately lost their patience and, ignoring the black-horned giant's attempts to stop them, all leaned towards the door, "Let me see who this is!"
Black Horned Giant: "Wait—"
Then, three synchronized roars of pain resounded through the sky.
The ghost-faced boy took off his mask slightly, revealing a pair of astonished eyes. He had never seen a Shura being humiliated.
Now even the aliens in the shipyard who dared not say a word could not help but look up cautiously.
"Hey, are there words on your palms..." At this moment, several other giants suddenly pointed at their charging compatriots.
The Green-Horned Giant gritted his teeth, not knowing what weapon had caused the wound. It wasn't fatal, but it was causing him such unbearable pain! Damn it!
At this time, the other giants had already subconsciously read out the words on each palm word by word -
"This", "door", "no", "pass"...
Just four palms and four words.
Anger and shame suddenly appeared on everyone's faces. The giants' chests heaved violently, and the strong murderous aura released from their bodies made all the curious aliens run away in fear as if they had seen a demon.
"Um..." At this moment, Youfa came out from the gate and said tremblingly, "Lu Mi said there is still one missing, so..."
"How can this be--!" This time even the black-horned giant who had been calm all this time had bloodshot eyes. Youfa was so scared that he shouted "I'm sorry!" and rolled back without stopping.
The black-horned giant: "How dare you humiliate us like this...!!" He glared and pulled out the giant axe behind him, like a hundred-eyed giant awakened from mythology, and chopped down the lamb in front of him with an angry blow!
But then, he was stopped by an equally fierce attack from the other side of the door.
At the same time, the black-horned giant felt a pain on his wrist. When he retreated back into the door, the other giants gathered around and looked, "...Get out?"
The black-horned giant said to everyone: "Get out!!"
The author has something to say: Pi Sutong: Crazy hint! I told you not to go up! This is the result of not listening to the mute!
Zuo Fa and You Fa: They say the most cowardly words and attract the most hatred.
This wave is called fishing enforcement.
