Chapter 345: A Place Worthy of Its Name (1/2)
Once everyone landed on the ground, they were stunned by the scenery in front of their eyes.
The Desolate Region was indeed worthy of its name as a barren wasteland stood before their eyes. The only plants growing out of the ground were weeds so withered, ‘dry’ would be an understatement. The ground was so dry it cracked and a baby would be able to fit into the cracks. The most terrifying part was that the soil was filled with dried up bloodstains and eerie bones of the dead. There were even severed limbs and remains that had yet to completely decay. It was obvious that an intense battle had just broken out here.
“The Desolate Region is indeed the land of the savage. This is just the border region and there are already so many dead bodies. Furthermore, it seems like this territory isn’t governed by any law. Murders and killings seem to be normal occurrences.” Bai Luochu couldn’t help but sigh at the sight before her.
“It is good that you know.” Pei Rumo grumbled, “This is why I didn’t want you to summon the Green Flame Eagle. The people here plunder and steal without batting an eyelid. In fact, they can’t even be considered humans. As long as you expose your wealth, they will definitely plunder and steal. Once you expose any wealth or treasure, you will turn into a target in the eyes of everyone in the Desolate Region.”
“Whatever. Since things are already at this point, there is nothing else I can do. I’ll just send the Green Flame Eagle back.” Bai Luochu spoke and prepared to ask the Green Flame Eagle to return to the Falling Cloud Mountain Range.
The Green Flame Eagle seemed as though it understood Bai Luochu’s thoughts and it immediately laid down on the ground. It was clear that it wasn’t going to listen to Bai Luochu’s instructions. The Green Flame Eagle was determined to stay behind to assist Bai Luochu in case she ran into some trouble. In any case, it was able to pick her up and fly away if the situation turned sour.
Bai Luochu shook her head helplessly and persuaded, “You’re too eye-catching and if you stay, I might really be in danger.”
The Green Flame Eagle seemed to be moved by Bai Luochu’s words but it still insisted on staying.
Without a choice, Bai Luochu had to convince the Green Flame Eagle patiently. After a long time, the Green Flame Eagle was still unwilling to give in. In the end, Bai Luochu took a step back. “Why don’t you hide somewhere safe. If anything happens to me, I shall call on you to assist me. If you turn into a target, it will greatly inconvenience me…”
After hearing Bai Luochu’s proposal, the Green Flame Eagle was finally willing to give in. However, it was still reluctant to leave and it only left unwillingly after rubbing its head on Bai Luochu’s cheeks.
When Lu Wenshu heard Pei Rumo’s comment, he responded with disdain, “She has a rather deep relationship with the Green Flame Eagle. Why can’t they behave intimately?”
Pei Rumo became suspicious after hearing Lu Wenshu’s response. His attitude towards Luo Chu has been somewhat weird. After falling down the cliff, his first reaction was to hug her. Moreover, he addressed her intimately when we were attacked by the demonic beasts.
