Chapter 30: The Emperor's Wrath
Chapter 30: The Emperor's Wrath
"Your Highness, all the people we went with are dead! There was only one person left, and he managed to escape. It's so tragic!"
The adjutant's eyes turned slightly red and he said.
"Oh?"
"In the core of the Star Dou Great Forest, those two evil beasts! As Your Highness said, those two evil beasts can indeed communicate. But. But..."
"Those two beasts kept saying things like 'All humans deserve to die, there's nothing to say' and 'The Far North actually dared to collude with humans, they will also die'. No matter how much we tried to persuade them, they wouldn't listen. And then, those two beasts dared to hurt people! Of the seven members of the delegation, only one person was able to escape the pursuit of the two evil beasts by luck thanks to his special martial spirit."
Zhongli frowned slightly. He guessed that the other party might refuse to communicate, but he didn't expect that he would be so crazy.
In his memory, in the original novel, when the Titled Douluo came to the Lake of Life in the core of the Star Dou Great Forest, the Azure Bull Python only took the initiative to make it retreat, and did not suddenly attack. Unexpectedly, the evil beast also looked at people and served them well these two days.
Some time ago, he sent an envoy to the "Great Danger Land" of the Xingdou Great Forest to contact the two gatekeeper beasts, in order to see if he could contact the Beast God Di Tian and others who were busy absorbing the big fat bug under the Lake of Life. The envoys he sent also held the token of the Far North, so they should have been able to ensure safety even if the negotiations failed.
Unexpectedly, the two evil beasts were so arrogant that they directly trampled the tokens of the two emperors of ice and snow in the Far North and killed the friendly envoys sent by the Tiandou Empire. It seems that they also think that a mere human empire can't do anything to these two forest kings.
For a moment, Zhongli couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"Brother, how are you going to deal with this matter?"
A voice that sounded somewhat gloating rang out in Zhongli's mind.
"Brother Zheng, please stop making fun of me. This is also my fault for not thinking it through."
Zhongli sighed and said.
"Hehe, is this a bad thing? This is obviously a good thing. If I had encountered such a thing in the past, what would I have done?"
"Brother Zheng" sneered and said.
"Please give me some advice, Brother Zheng."
Zhongli nodded and said, although he almost had the answer in his mind.
"The Japanese killed the Qin envoy and massacred the people into nine counties; the Roman king killed the Qin envoy and hung his head on the northern gate; the Egyptians killed the Qin envoy and immediately exterminated him."
"Brother Zheng" sneered, with a hint of grimness in his tone, and said.
"This is still a bit too extreme. However, extraordinary circumstances call for extraordinary measures."
Zhongli was slightly stunned, then shook his head and sighed.
He had learned before that Japan, Rome, Egypt and other countries were all countries that once existed in the world of "Zhengxiong", just like Inazuma, Mond, Fontaine and other countries on the continent of Teyvat. However, these countries no longer existed.
Having made up his mind, Zhongli set off immediately. This time, he and Ying, together with Dugu Bo and three Soul Douluo-level worshippers from the Tiandou Empire, set off together to the Xingdou Great Forest.
Originally, he was not planning to bring these priests with him; however, they said that His Majesty Xue Ye had said that the safety of the two princes must be protected at all costs, and he could not resist their loyalty and agreed to let them go.
The group of six left Tiandou City with a light load and headed south. They were all powerful spirit masters with profound cultivation. Although the journey was more than a thousand miles, it took less than a week to cross the vast territory of the Tiandou Empire and enter the Xingdou Great Forest.
In fact, Zhongli had been in this world for so many years, but this was the first time he had personally entered the Xingdou Great Forest. He could feel that the elemental power, or the density of spiritual energy, here was much more abundant than in the outside world, and it was not comparable to other soul beast forests he had visited before. The Far North was not much worse, but it was dominated by pure ice attributes, and was only suitable for ice attribute soul masters or ice attribute soul beasts to live and practice.
The soul beasts here were also stronger than those outside. In the outer area alone, he had already sensed the presence of more than one thousand-year soul beast. When he reached the middle area, the presence of ten-thousand-year soul beasts also increased. However, they had no intention of conflicting with them and tried to bypass the soul beasts' territories as much as possible.
The deeper you go into the Star Forest, the denser the trees become, and the older the towering trees appear. The core of the Star Forest is called the "Great Land of Danger", a forbidden area for humans on the same level as the "core land" of the Far North.
Here, the number of soul beasts became scarce again, but the terrifying aura became more and more. Although almost all the real strong men in the Star Dou Great Forest have been in seclusion under the Lake of Life, there are still more than one hundred thousand year soul beasts in the outside world, which is not something that any Title Douluo dares to offend.
The two guarding the gate beside the Lake of Life were the reason why Zhongli came to the Star Dou Great Forest this time. They were the best among all the 100,000-year soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. If they hadn't died, it would only be a matter of time before they broke through the 100,000-year level.
"Wow!"
When Zhongli and his party arrived at the emerald lake of life, a huge bull head emerged from the lake. The azure eyes of the bull looked down at Zhongli and his party.
"Human, you are here again?"
A somewhat dull voice came from the bull's head.
"You two, you killed our Tiandou Empire's envoy. You need to give us an explanation for this matter."
Zhongli looked directly into the huge bull eyes of the Sky Blue Bull Python with his amber eyes and said.
Hearing Zhongli's direct words, even though they already knew Zhongli's purpose, the hearts of the three priests trembled slightly. They were all ready to fight to the death with this 100,000-year-old soul beast.
"Give you an explanation? Of course. Do you think that just because a Titled Douluo has come, we brothers can't let you go with the previous group of people?"
A hint of disdain flashed across the huge eyes of the Azure Bull Python. Not far away, an extremely large chimpanzee also walked over step by step, with a ferocious light emanating from its khaki eyes.
"Our envoys originally came with the intention of friendship. What they held in their hands were also tokens from the Far North, the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor. They can be considered as your old friends."
Zhongli shook his head and continued to speak calmly. The Azure Bull Python had a strange feeling. At this time, this human was not afraid that his two brothers would leave him in the Star Dou Great Forest. He was still trying to reason with him?
What's the point of reasoning? In their brothers' minds, the bigger the fist, the more right it is! Back then, the human Title Douluo had a big fist, so he was able to kill Xiao Wu's mother; so what's wrong with them bullying these weak humans?
A friendly visit? And you want them to help you contact that adult? Do you, tiny humans, have the qualifications?
There is no such thing as friendship in this world, only the strong prey on the weak! As for the token in the Far North, they could feel that aura, and it was indeed not forged by these humans. But so what? Even if the Snow Queen came in person, Daming still wanted to meet her! To see if she is really as powerful as the legend says.
"What friends or no friends? The Far North has fallen into depravity and wants to establish friendship with you humans. It is no longer qualified to be our brother's friend. The Star Dou Great Forest will no longer welcome guests from the Far North. As for you humans, we will kill you in pairs and in groups! Do you think you, such filthy beings, are worthy of visiting our Star Dou Great Forest? Pah!"
The Titan Ape's heavy voice was like a rock falling, shaking the eardrums. A yellowish-brown light had already appeared on its arms.
"In that case, from a common sense point of view, if we want to contact the bottom of the Lake of Life and the real person in charge of your soul beast world, we need to step over your corpses."
In the eyes of the two soul beasts, this hateful human put one hand under his chin, nodded, and spoke very calmly, as if he had come to a very simple conclusion.
"Human, suffer death!"
However, before the two soul beasts could make a move, a dense rain of rock spears suddenly appeared in the sky above the Great Evil Land.
