Chapter 264 - Emergency

“Run, run, run, quick!”

Although Ji Hao and his team had stalled for quite a while, but they still were able to catch up with those Gold Wolf Clan warriors and Cyan Wolf Clan refugees.

Tens of warriors carrying or holding the clansmen, who were nearly killed earlier, stumbled while running as fast as they could along the valley. However, they had been running all the way and were about to collapse. Not to mention these Junior Magi warriors, even the Senior Magi like Lang Yi were almost out of energy.

They were moving way too slow, the Yu Clan army chasing behind then was getting closer and closer. Ji Hao had already heard the metal-clanging noises that were made by the feet of those gigantic metal spider against the solid rocks on the ground.

“Run as fast as you can!” yelled Ji Hao. In the meanwhile, a faint beam of golden-purple light flashed across the middle of his eyebrows. His Golden Dan swiftly rotated in his spiritual space and the power contained in it suddenly drained out by ninety percent.

Ji Hao locked his finger together, into a form of a lion head, while incanting a spell in a deep voice. His eyes began shining brightly and he glanced quickly across all of those warriors. ‘Zhe’, one of the nine secret words of the [Mantra Dan of Nine Secret Words], had the magical power that allowed Ji Hao to control the others as easy as his own body.

A faint layer of light rose from the ground, along with gusts of breaths wrapped all of those warriors around, including Lang Yi. Streams of warm power gushed into their bodies, making their heavy footsteps quick and light. With this magical power, even the weakest Novice Magus was now capable of easily covering over ten zhang far, with a few shreds of after images behind him.

Within the span of a few breath, they could make two to three steps forward, which was equal to a few miles.

Lang Yu let out a roar towards the sky in excitement, straightened his thumb at Ji Hao while yelling, “Little brother, you’re amazing! Really, really A-ma-zing!”

Sayingt his, Lang Yi’s face suddenly became extra sad, after which he continued, “If our Gold Wolf Clan had an amazing Maguspriest like you, we could have saved at least thousands of our clansmen, it wouldn’t be…be like this…”

Ji Hao rushed up to Lang Yi in big steps, took a deep gasp, let out a breath that contained a dense corruptive scent, then slapped on Lang Yi’s shoulder hard and said, “Want to revenge? Keep surviving, become stronger, and kill them all!!”

Ji Hao’s words were simple, yet filled with the most straightforward and honest philosophy, deeply believed by all the clans of the Southern Wasteland.

If you killed my clansmen, in revenge, I will kill you for that. If I am unable to kill you, I will continue to cultivate myself until I become powerful enough, then I will kill you. If I am unable to kill you until the end of my life, I have my sons, my grandsons, even great grandsons, we will eventually kill you.

Southern Wasteland warriors were simple and violent as such, therefore, once the seed of hatred had grown between two Southern Wasteland clans, it would never disappear until one of the two clans had been wiped out completely, and their bloodline had vanished in this world.

“I will live and kill them all,” Lang Yi said while gasping quickly, staring at Ji Hao’s black long dagger, then abruptly turned to Shaosi and said, “Little sister, you have two spears, can I borrow one from you?”

Shaosi glanced at him, flicked her hand and threw one of the spears to him.

Ji Hao laughed out, threw the crystal piece that Lang Yi had used to trade for food earlier, back to him as well, then slapped on his shoulder again and said in a low voice, “Keep an eye on that bunch, I can’t stop feeling they’re bit strange.” While talking, Ji Hao threw another glance at those few Cyan Wolf Clan warriors.

He couldn’t clearly tell how badly their wounds were, but judging from the outside, those wounds were pretty serious. However, after he had checked with his spiritual power, he had discovered that although those wounds looked bloody and scary, they actually didn’t cause too much effect to the bodies of those few warriors.

“Interesting, can it really be a group of people who are actually spies among the entire human kind?” Shaking his head, Ji Hao turned around, facing the over two-hundred metallic spiders, which were approaching quickly and couldn’t help but feel his scalp becoming numb by only seeing those.
