Chapter 248 - Fengdu (2/2)

He walked toward Wei Huo and begged him. “Master, please help me. If this city does not have an Epic-ranked creature to protect it, it will be targeted by the surrounding demons.”

Wei Huo took out the Death Book and tore off a page. The page flew up and stuck to the city gate.

Wei Huo said, “This is a Mythical weapon. One page can kill five Legendary creatures. I’ll leave one page here.”

Xiao Bin knelt down and thanked him. “Thank you, Master!”

The people in the city revolted. They were shocked upon seeing Xiao Bin kneel down and address this young man as Master.

When Lily saw this scene, she suddenly thought of something. She was the only person in the city who knew who Master Xiao Bin was because her father had told her. It was said that a long time ago, when Xiao Bin, her father, and Third Uncle had just arrived in this world, they had been saved by an extremely powerful person. However, when they had passed by the Rose Manor, her father and Third Uncle had stayed, while Uncle Xiao Bin had left with that expert.

Lily was Lu Ren’s 25th child. When she was born, Lu Ren had already been over 80 years old. Before long, her father had passed away. That was why she did not know much about Wei Huo.

“They disappeared!”

The people outside the city exclaimed again. This cry pulled Lily back to reality. At that moment, she realized that the three people standing in front of the city gate had disappeared.

Wei Huo had left with Zhou Song and Xiao Bin after using a page of the Death Book. He had taken a step forward and the surrounding scenery had started retreating rapidly. In the blink of an eye, they had crossed hundreds of kilometers. Zhou Song and Xiao Bin followed him closely, afraid that they would get lost in the wilderness.

If one fell, one would not just fall one or two steps behind. One would fall behind by countless mountains and rivers, and it would take them years to catch up.

“How are Lu Ren and Long Tao?” Wei Huo asked.

Xiao Bin sighed and replied, “They both died. Long Tao lived for 85 years, and Lu Ren lived for 92 years. It was considered a long life, and they had many descendants. Everyone in Rose Town is their descendant. They had the protection of an Epic-ranked Mountain Giant and the Bloodthirsty Rose. There was no need to worry about the safety of the town. Unfortunately, the internal strife there is very strong now. Lily escaped and came to my place three years ago.”

The Mountain Giant was right. Everyone made their own choices. At the same time, they had to take responsibility for their choices. Xiao Bin had made his own choice. He was powerful and he had a long lifespan. Lu Ren and Long Tao had made their own choices. They had died of old age after having many descendants. They had even produced a small town.

In the end, everyone would walk their own path.

Wei Huo stopped in his tracks. The surrounding scenery stopped moving rapidly. Xiao Bin and Zhou Song stopped in their tracks but they did not see Fengdu. They could only see a dense primitive forest.

They were confused. Why had Wei Huo stopped?

Then, they saw Wei Huo lift his head and look at the cloudless sky.

Zhou Song lifted his head as well, but he did not see anything. He asked, “Brother Huo, what happened?”

However, at that moment, System Number Two immediately sent a warning. “Quickly switch to player mode. Something has passed through the planet’s protective layer. It’s almost impossible. Unless one is at the later stage of the Legendary stage, it’s impossible to break through the planet’s protective layer!”

Just as System Number Two finished its sentence, a few super-large fireballs descended from the sky.

Zhou Song exclaimed, “Meteorites?”

Wei Huo said, “No.”

A moment later, an alert came from the game system. “Level-five alert. Earth has been invaded by an unknown alien creature. Players, please conduct an investigation and resist immediately. Please note that this is a Legendary-level event!”
