Chapter 402 Stepping into the Cursed Land
Rupert simply couldn't believe it.
"The female messenger and her beast mates are back!!"
The tribe had no idea what had happened; all they knew was that the female had suddenly left, and her beastmen had all gone to look for her.
The place she went to was extremely dangerous, accessible only to those at the Earth Rank, so Yi Yuexi was left behind.
As for Hollen, they didn't know where he had gone.
Back home, Jiang Xi told them to go help with the wall first.
Duan Si stayed behind; he was worried about leaving the female master alone with those sea creatures.
The marine family has three fish: Canases, Cecilia, and Hyssia.
Of the three, Canassis retains his youthful appearance, is the youngest in looks, but the oldest.
It's not that he's fixed in this form and can't grow up, but rather that he deliberately chooses to be this way.
He hoped that through this face, she could recall more things from a thousand years ago.
Dinner, island, beach.
He confessed his love to her and asked to marry her, but she rejected him.
Immediately afterwards, she married ten beast husbands, ten beast husbands of noble blood.
Jiang Xi had no idea what Kanases was thinking.
She was sensing the location of those people in the holy city outside the tribe.
But soon, her brows furrowed.
"Where are the people of the Holy City?"
She looked at Haisia, "Do you know where those people from the Holy City are?"
Of the group, only Haisia remained in the tribe.
He was about to speak when Riley's voice came from the back door.
You're back?
Jiang Xi turned her head and saw the young man leaning against the back door with his long legs crossed.
The shimmering water of the river in the backyard reflected on him, making him appear to glow.
Riley walked in, his long legs supporting him, and said as he entered.
"The people of the Holy City disappeared overnight. Isn't that very strange?"
"Some say they've entered the cursed land."
"But nobody knows the truth of the matter."
Riley shrugged, sat down naturally on the sofa, picked up the kettle, wanting to pour himself a glass of water, only to find the kettle empty, without a single drop of water.
"Wow, they don't even fetch water while you're not home."
Jiang Xi ignored his banter.
"Disappeared?" Her eyes were thoughtful.
"I'll go take a look."
Just as she was about to leave, Riley said "Hey."
"Why are you in such a hurry? Let's eat first. I've had someone cook, and it will be delivered soon."
Duan Si also said, "Please eat first, Mistress. You've been traveling for so long, you should rest for a while."
Jiang Xi was indeed quite hungry.
Her body is not yet able to stop eating.
However, she still planned to go to the Cursed Land first.
"Let's eat when we get back."
Upon seeing this, Duan Si immediately picked up the female master and swam away.
Riley clicked his tongue and followed.
Cecilia and Kanases followed, and Hysia wanted to go too, but Kanases turned to look at him.
"Stay here and watch the house."
Hessia felt inexplicably intimidated by Kanases, perhaps due to the suppression of his bloodline, or perhaps because the other party treated him with disdain.
He instinctively looked at his ancestor, seeking his advice.
Cecilia: "Then you can stay."
Haisia pursed her lips and had no choice but to agree.
He could not disobey the orders of his ancestor.
Just as Jiang Xi reached the wall, Yi Yuexi climbed up from the cursed land, covered in blood.
When he saw the female master, he paused for a moment, then quickly walked over.
He wanted to embrace the female master, but then realized he was covered in dirt. He stood in front of her and bowed slightly to look at her.
"If the female master doesn't come back soon, I'll start to think that she doesn't want me anymore."
His voice carried a hint of hesitation and grievance.
Day after day, he was afraid, afraid that he would never see the female master again.
Of all the beastmen, he was the only one who had been abandoned in the cursed land.
When the female master returned, Yi Yuexi wanted to laugh, but as soon as the corners of his lips turned up, two lines of clear tears streamed down his face.
He turned his head and wiped away the tears on his face.
He didn't want to cry, but when he saw the female master standing in front of him, he couldn't control himself.
The female master has returned.
The female master did not abandon him.
Jiang Xi stood on tiptoe, reached out, and wiped away the tears on his face.
"I'm back now, aren't I?"
She withdrew her hand, and Yi Yuexi's wounds healed instantly, but the bloodstains remained even after the wounds were healed.
Yi Yuexi laughed, his handsome face streaked with tears and blood.
"Next time, don't leave me alone."
The feeling of being left alone in this world is utterly despairing.
Jiang Xi raised her hand and pinched his cheek.
"Go back quickly, wash up, eat something, and get some sleep."
Rupert said that Ephesus hadn't had a break in a long time.
Yi Yuexi shook her head, "Lu Liufeng and the others went down to fight, I will stay by the female master's side."
He was afraid that he would wake up and find that it was all a dream.
Jiang Xi thought that she was just here to take a look and did not plan to go any further for the time being, so she did not say anything more and let him stay.
Yi Yuexi noticed the black-haired, red-eyed boy standing next to Cecilia. He narrowed his fox-like eyes but didn't ask who he was.
Jiang Xi stood on the wall, looking at the blood-red earth.
This time, she saw not only blood red, but also blue and gold light.
"Can you see colors other than blood red?"
She asked the people around her.
Of the crowd, only Canassius nodded.
"Blue and gold, just like a thousand years ago."
However, it swept across the continent a thousand years ago, but now it is trapped in the cursed land, crashing through the crimson light, trying to break through the light barrier and sweep across the continent once again.
Jiang Xi glanced at him.
She remembered Canassers, and her boyish appearance.
She never imagined that the few times she had met him in the Sea Kingdom would allow him to persevere until now and transform into a half-dragon.
"Have you met Leonidin?" Jiang Xi asked.
Canassius nodded, then shook his head.
“He often falls into a deep sleep, which allows his power to be consumed more slowly. His will exists throughout the entire cursed land. More than ten years ago, he woke up and said he sensed your presence, but not long after, he fell into a deep sleep again until he woke up last year and has not fallen asleep since.”
But with each awakening, the cursed land becomes increasingly out of control.
If she hasn't returned yet, Leonidine might not be able to hold on much longer.
This time, the light screen was almost exhausting all of his power.
Jiang Xi raised her hand and stroked the light screen.
Then, she lifted her leg and stepped into the light curtain.
The cold wind of the cursed land lashed her cheeks, carrying with it the scent of blood, decay, and greed.
The blood-red earth froze for a moment, and countless cursed beasts with crimson eyes all looked up in her direction.
One roar after another, the cursed beast pounced on the wall where she stood like a hungry wolf pouncing on its prey.
Lu Liufeng, Mu Ling, Nafiel, and Nakan noticed this phenomenon at the same time and quickly used their superpowers to open their domains, trying to stop these crazed beasts.
But the next instant, the blood-red earth trembled.
The cursed beasts that pounced on Jiang Xi exploded.
Blood-red petals splattered, bursting into a blood mist, exploding into dazzling fireworks in the air.
A hoarse voice, ancient and distant, rang in Jiang Xi's ears.
"Female...Master..."
