946 Instead of living, it might be better to be a dog (1/2)
Somewhere in the beast domain.
Hundreds of thousands of beasts bowed down. Heavenly Emperor Mingguang stood in front with nine bright lights appearing. At this moment, only seven lights were left while the remaining two looked dim as if they had been extinguished.
”Taihu Territory...”
”Huangliang Despairs...”
Heavenly Emperor Mingguang muttered to himself, ”There are seven more?”
”Heavenly Emperor!”
A beast came, ”What you asked for is now ready.”
”Really?”
Heavenly Emperor Mingguang smiled indifferently.
Snap!
He stretched out his hand, and a faint brilliance appeared within his palm. It was small and subtle, it but contained an aura that scared everyone, which was far beyond Rule Force. Heavenly Emperor Mingguang gently poked a light beside him, and the light went out in an instant.
The result was visible to the naked eye.
All the beasts witnessed a terrifying scene. Scarlet Forest, one of the Nine Great Despairs experienced a drastic change. In the blink of an eye, all the trees withered as they were turned into nothingness. One of Nine Great Despairs, Scarlet Forest, vanished today.
”Now, there are six more.” Heavenly Emperor Mingguang calmly said.
Countless beasts were scared that they knelt on the ground. No one dared to make a single movement.
Forget about the suppression coming from the depth of their soul, just that single flick alone resulted in the destruction of a Great Despair; such a crazy scene was enough to shock every beast.
Emperor-ranked...
What kind of power is that?
Heavenly Emperor, did he really want to lead the beasts to wipe out mankind?
However, why the need to destroy the Great Despair?
”What about him?” Heavenly Emperor Mingguang suddenly asked.
Everyone knew who he was asking, the disciple of Heavenly Emperor Mingguang, that young man in white.
”Lord had rushed to Fenghun Mountain.” The beast kneeling next to Heavenly Emperor Mingguang said in a trembling voice with a hint of horror in this tone. This was because the Fenghun Mountain he mentioned was one of the Nine Great Despairs. However, the disciple of Heavenly Emperor Mingguang, that man in white, took the mission given by Heavenly Emperor Mingguang and entered as if there was no fear.
”Really?” Heavenly Emperor Mingguang looked at the lights around him, ”Then, only five remain. With the four Great Despairs gone, plus those two places, just nice enough to have six all together...”
”More than half.”
Heavenly Emperor Mingguang suddenly sighed emotionally.
More than half?
A question mark appeared in the mind of those beasts kneeling on the ground. Exactly six, more than half? I thought five is already over half? Why six to consider it over half?
Heavenly Emperor Mingguang wasn't good at math?
Hmmm...
Let's just pretend we did not hear it.
”Interesting things are about to happen.” Heavenly Emperor Mingguang looked quietly in a certain direction, and seemed to be able to see everything that was about to happen, ”This moment, I have waited too long...”
****
At the oasis, Liu Ping and the others each revealed a shocking expression. The reward of the stone statue exceeded everyone's imagination. It turned out to be improving the quality of their Rule Force. An increment of ten percent!
It wasn't in terms of quantity but quality!
This meant that their Rule Force would have the upper hand when they faced enemies of a similar level.. Although it was only ten percent, that was an absolute comprehensive advantage!
Their strength doubled!
”Haha, this was indeed a generous reward.”
”With great crisis comes great opportunity.”
”The trial reward of the beasts is actually this generous.” Liu Ping formed a smile with the corner of his mouth, ”Can Wolf King create this by himself? Impossible! Thus, this should be the secret of Huangliang Despairs, I guess?”
”I now have some expectations.” Liu Ping licked his lips.
His lips were a bit dry from being in the desert for quite some time.
Looking at the delightful teammates, Liu Ping looked far away, and he had some regret. Such a pity, if Wu Ming were here, the later parts would be much easier...
This was the only time when he thought of Wu Ming.
As for their death...
Oh, if you die, then that's it. They were already used to it anyway.
Which world esper had reached this point and wasn't used to death? Even those three million dead souls in Huangliang City didn't affect them much.
This was the reality.
How thin was the affection of world espers?
Entering the oasis, they saw a small village where no one lives. Some used items here had already been covered with thick dust. At least no one came here for three to four years. Based on the legend of Huangliang Despairs, some people would vanish within a period of time. It seemed that those missing people came here.
Such a fact could be seen from the traces of the village.
At its peak, this village probably accommodated dozens of people.
But now, this was just a ghost village.
There was no one present.
”Exactly what had happened in the past?”
Liu Ping wiped off the dust on a table, looking for clues.
”Seems like those who broke into here stayed here in the past.” A world esper said.
”There is a note here.”
The crowd soon noticed what was left behind by their predecessors. They finally understood why everyone in this village vanished! They had left here.
That note was a speculation diagram of the quicksand trajectory.
