Chapter 25: The Head Of The Seven Sages (2/2)
The short man glanced ashore, “There are two Melder beasts that I haven’t provoked yet. We’ll slaughter them before we leave.”
“It’s time to head to the capital,” the woman refuted, “That’s our greatest chance to find the criminal; it’s very likely that the corpse these people brought back from Neptune is our target.”
A cold glint passed through the short man’s eyes, “Veron, where are the other two teams?”
The man ashore was Veron, the strongest student of the First Military School. The woman was Borise, the strongest of Blue Mountain Academy. At their head was Parlie of the Third Gravitas Planet. This trio was the elite group Jaeger had talked about.
“I believe Gerlaine’s team is in the grasslands north of the capital. Eddy should be in Shanxi, not far from the capital.”
Parlie walked onto the riverbank, a wave of energy drying him off in an instant, “Let’s go to the capital, then.”
The trio left behind a pile of slaughtered mutants in their wake, with a large number of Sentinels in their midst.
……
The endless grass in Northern China was swaying in the wind, looking like green waves dancing under the sunlight from a bird’s-eye view. It was exceptionally charming, prompting one young woman to stretch both hands and shout, “So this is how the grasslands smell. Sooo fresh!”
A two-meter-tall green-skinned man glanced at her from nearby, speaking in a low voice, “If you think this shit smells fresh, you’re crazy.”
“What did you say, Balaror?” the woman stared at him furiously.
The green-skinned Balaror quickly smiled, “Nothing much, it smells pleasant.”
“Well, at least you’re tactful,” she smiled, “Let’s head towards the capital. I heard this planet’s people retrieved a corpse from another primitive planet, it should be the criminal.”
“Alright,” Balaror agreed, raising his head as the endless grass ahead of him parted abruptly like it was alive.
……
Two people in black clothing were slowly walking through Shanxi, crossing an endless yellow plain. Strange beasts were constantly rushing out of the ground before vanishing again, prompting a frosty gaze from a man with a scaly face. The yellow soil turned incomparably dry with every step he took, as though the little water it had was sucked away in an instant. All the soil a hundred meters behind him had basically turned to dust, with any mutants that had wandered nearby dried into leather.
“I don’t like this place. We should have landed in the ocean.”
“No other choice, we have to come to the capital to complete our mission. I know you were born at the bottom of the ocean, but try to endure it a little more. We’ll be able to leave soon.”
“I’ve already sacrificed so much. I’ll kill whoever dares to stop me from completing this mission. Even if all the natives from this planet must die, so be it.”
“Of course, no one can stop us.”
……
In the northeast, ice and snow formed a white blanket covering heaven and earth. A pair of red boots was trudging through the endless sea of white, giving way to a face that was absolutely beautiful. The woman’s eyes were bright as stars, almost able to melt the frozen land; this was Bai Xue, the Water Sage, and the surroundings were her Blue Camp.
Three figures were crouched in front of Bai Xue in the snow, their expressions distorted from extreme pain. It took great difficulty for one of them to raise his head and stare at the gorgeous beauty with absolute horror, eking out through trembling lips, “You, just a native… How are you so strong?”
Bai Xue watched the three of them calmly, “You’re students from the greater universe, huh? Not bad.”
“Who are you? You can’t be a native, a native can’t beat three academy elites!” one of them said in disbelief.
Bai Xue’s eyes gleamed brighter than diamonds as she ignored them, “Please mark the northeast blue, I don’t want to be disturbed.”
