"Let's go this way." Zhu Minglang followed the direction of the wind.
Although it was relatively safe underground, he still had to figure out where he was first. If he stepped into the active area of the Earth Vein Dissolved River and was surrounded by the Fog of Nothingness, he could still use the lantern jade mask to walk out. If he was trapped by the underground lava, he could only wait for death.
"Big brother Zhu, you saved my life again, I … I don't know how to repay you." Mi Rong said in a small voice.
"Just help me recall my memories." Zhu Minglang said with a sincere face.
"Yes, yes, Mi Rong will definitely find enough Moon Star Jade Glass for Big brother Zhu!" Mi Rong clenched her little fist and said seriously.
What a good Big Brother Chosen by God, she had to help him remember everything in the past, so he wouldn't be troubled anymore.
… …
Walking in the direction of the wind, Zhu Minglang smelled the scent of blood in the wind.
Zhu Minglang remembered that when the Yama Dragon appeared, Mi Zhongyun, Yang Ji, and the others were lingering around the cave entrance. They planned to let the nocturnal creatures go in and wreak havoc, then they would kill their way in and enjoy the fruits of their labor.
Their methods were extremely despicable, but Zhu Minglang seriously suspected that it was because they used the Darkness Inducing Object that attracted one of the most terrifying existences of the night — — the Yama Dragon!
He had escaped a calamity, but he didn't know how the others were doing. He hoped that they were all dead.
With this beautiful wish, Zhu Minglang continued to walk into the cave.
This place clearly led to the cave where the Saint Watchtower Continent disaster victims were hiding. Zhu Minglang could already hear the sounds of fighting coming from above.
"There's fire in front." Mi Rong said.
"Yes, let's go and take a look first." Zhu Minglang nodded.
A few simple torches were inserted into the rock wall, and some messy footprints appeared nearby. When Zhu Minglang and Mi Rong got closer, they realized that this was an underground river.
Because the lava was nearby, the water in the pool was half-boiling, forming a kind of white steam that covered the underground pool like a white curtain.
When Zhu Minglang stepped in, he saw a large group of people.
These people looked very much like the refugees in the refugee camp. Some of them were barely clothed, some of them were sick, some of them had eyes filled with pain and numbness, and some of them were hungry and cold …
What left the deepest impression was that each of them had severe burns on their bodies, as if they had just escaped from a terrifying fire execution!
There were some glowing fluorescent stones and a few torches that could not dispel the darkness and cold. The air was turbid, and there was nothing around them except for rocks and scalding river water. It was unknown what they were relying on to stay alive in such a place.
"It's … It's the disaster victims of the Saint Watchtower Continent." Mi Rong said with a face full of shock.
Saint Watchtower and Extreme Court were the two starlands that were about to fall in Tian Shu Shenjiang. Regarding these two starlands, Mi Rong had heard some people in her clan mention them before.
The Seven Star God Hua Chou destroyed a starland, and this action made Xuan Ge God and Fu Yao God extremely disgusted. They felt that Hua Chou had gradually reached a kind of extreme where he had no scruples.
Because of this, Xuan Ge God and Fu Yao God, as the two Star Gods who had dimmed down, wanted to join forces and suppress Hua Chou the next time the Seven Star Gods gathered.
In the entire Tian Shu Shenjiang, only these two Gods dared to oppose Hua Chou.
Because of the two Gods' alliance, the descendants and people of the two Gods began to interact closely with each other.
No matter if it was her big brother Mi Zhongyun who wanted her to marry the Little Son of Heaven Yang Ji, or this time, they joined forces to find the Xingyue Jade Glazed Stone, it was all because the two Gods began to get closer …
"These people's cultivation levels aren't high. They must have been forcefully protected by someone." Zhu Minglang glanced around and said.
Among these people, some didn't even have cultivation levels. They were very ordinary people.
Logically speaking, these people shouldn't have been able to survive such a terrifying shattering of the starland. The only explanation was that they had been protected by a King Level expert. Moreover, it had to be an extremely strong King Level expert.
"You … Your Gods wanted us to die, and we're living underground. Could it be that you're so restless that you have to kill us all?!" A woman noticed Zhu Minglang and Mi Rong, and her eyes were filled with humiliation and unwillingness.
The woman had some cultivation, but it was far from Zhu Minglang's.
She was obviously aware of this.
If Zhu Minglang wanted to kill everyone here, she and the few King Level experts behind her wouldn't be able to stop him.
"Roar!!!"
A terrifying roar came from one of the caves. Before Zhu Minglang could respond to the woman's words, he saw a strange creature covered in spikes rushing in. It began to gnaw at the helpless victims of the Sacred Watchtower.
In just the blink of an eye, four or five victims had died. Their blood was smeared on the walls. The light from the fire illuminated the place.
"It's the Nightcrawler!" Mi Rong immediately recognized the indescribable Nightcrawler.
The survivors of the Sacred Watchtower who had survived in the underground river had obviously experienced the same fear. They screamed and ran toward the woman with a headscarf!
The woman was injured. Her left arm and neck were burned. Her calves and knees had obvious claw marks, most of which were left behind by the Nightcrawler a few nights ago. Her wounds had yet to heal.
The woman's eyes were filled with anger and unwillingness.
There was a wolf in front of her and a tiger behind her. She didn't know whether she should take care of Zhu Minglang, the butcher of Shenjiang, or the Nightcrawler, the Nightcrawler first.
However, just as she was at a loss, Zhu Minglang was faster than her. When the Nightcrawler was about to bite off a boy's head, Zhu Minglang knocked the Nightcrawler away with his flying sword.
"Innate Fiend Dragon!"
The Nightcrawler's whereabouts were unpredictable. Zhu Minglang had trouble tracking it. Zhu Minglang didn't have to fight it alone. After all, not every Stegosaurus could be perfectly handled. Zhu Minglang was planning to stab the Nightcrawler's head with his sword, but it dodged the attack. Zhu Minglang had no choice but to knock it back instead.
The Innate Fiend Dragon appeared in the form of a dark feather. It chased after the Nightcrawler and used its Bite of the Void to bite the strange creature.
"Roar!!!"
The Nightcrawler let out an unpleasant roar. It glared at Zhu Minglang viciously, then ran out of the cave unwillingly.
"Don't chase it."
Zhu Minglang called out to the Innate Fiend Dragon.
It was the Innate Fiend Dragon's first time meeting such a strange creature. Although it couldn't hide its curiosity and belligerence, it chose to follow Zhu Minglang's instructions in the end.
It retracted its black wings and curled its tail around a stalactite. Then, it hung upside down in the cave, looking extremely cruel.
In the underground river cave, the disaster victims of the Saint Watchtower saw that the Innate Fiend Dragon didn't attack them. Instead, it helped them chase away the cruel Nightcrawler. At the same time, they were a little confused.
They didn't understand why the butcher of Shenjiang would help them.
"The two of us don't mean any harm to you," Zhu Minglang said to the woman with a headscarf.
The woman looked at the Innate Fiend Dragon, then looked at the Celestial Spirit Sword Dragon hanging next to Zhu Minglang.
It wasn't that she trusted Zhu Minglang. It was just that she had no choice but to believe him. After all, if this person wanted to kill them, he could have done it already. Even the Nightcrawler was afraid of him. Why would he lie to them?
"What do you want?" The woman with a headscarf wasn't stupid. She was still cautious, but she was willing to talk calmly.
"We were chased down here by a Yama Dragon," Mi Rong explained.
"A Yama Dragon is …"
"A Night Dragon that is a hundred times scarier than the Nightcrawler," Mi Rong said.
While Mi Rong was talking to the woman with a headscarf, Zhu Minglang purposely looked in the direction of the underground river. He saw that it was covered by a thin layer of Void Fog.
There were a few people with burns all over their bodies. They were using the Star Moon Jade Glaze to absorb the Void Fog.
If he wasn't mistaken, the underground river should lead to Extreme Court. The Void Fog was the last obstacle for them to get to Extreme Court. The fog was very thin, so they should be able to get through it quickly.
The Mist of Nothingness was unstable. It would slowly drift about, and those who held the Star Moon Jade Glass could only stand at the edge and cautiously absorb it. However, the chances of inhaling the Mist of Nothingness were very high. If it was light, one would faint, and if it was heavy, one would die.
It was as if they realized the danger they were in. Some people were willing to risk their lives to get into the fog. They wanted to absorb the Void Fog. But in the short time that Zhu Minglang had been watching, eight or nine people had died. Still, there were still people who picked up the Star Moon Jade Glaze from their companions' corpses and continued to carve out a way to survive.
In order to survive, they had no choice.
"Brother Zhu, their elites are out there fighting off the Dark Walkers. The people in the cave are old, weak, and sick. There are women and children …" Mi Rong whispered to Zhu Minglang.
Seeing this, Mi Rong felt even sadder.
She regretted not stopping her big brother Mi Zhongyun's actions. Because of him, the Saint Watchtower refugees who were already living underground had no chance of survival.
They were not people who had committed heinous crimes, nor were they beasts of a different species.
Similarly, Zhu Minglang didn't want to kill these people.
But Zhu Minglang was now faced with a complicated choice.
The people from the Saint Watchtower Continent wanted to escape to Extreme Court. Although the people in the underground river were old, weak, and sick, the people outside were very strong. To be able to survive the disaster of the Saint Watchtower Continent being destroyed, every one of them was at least a King. If there weren't any nocturnal creatures, Zhu Minglang even suspected that the people from the Saint Watchtower Continent and Great Sky Peak wouldn't be able to defeat these refugees.
There were so many King level elites from the Saint Watchtower Continent, and they hated evil. Once they entered Extreme Court, it would be a huge blow to Extreme Court. If he didn't stop them, it would be a bloodbath.
But if he didn't carve out a way for them, the real scary butcher outside was the Hell Dragon.
If the Hell Dragon came, no one would be able to survive.
…
"Little Rong, is Hua Chou God an omniscient god? For example, if he wanted to kill the Saint Watchtower, and someone secretly saved these people, would Hua Chou know?" Zhu Minglang asked Mi Rong seriously.
Zhu Minglang had to make a choice quickly. He thought of a more feasible way.
"Of course, he isn't an omniscient god. He is a god of strength. He even believes in the law of the jungle … Brother Zhu, do you want to help these people? Brother Zhu, you are indeed Brother Zhu. You are so kind. If Brother Zhu wants to help them, just do it. Hua Chou wouldn't know about this. His insight and foresight might not even be as good as a stargazer like me," Mi Rong said.
Mi Rong didn't like God Hua Chou.
God Xuan Ge was the most respectable god in Mi Rong's heart.
In the past, God Xuan Ge's status wasn't any lower than Hua Chou's.
Hua Chou was indeed the highest god in Shenjiang, but as long as they didn't talk back to Hua Chou in front of Hua Chou's followers, they could say whatever they wanted about Hua Chou.
Plus, Sky Pivot Shenjiang had many forces that resisted Hua Chou's followers. Those forces were still alive. Even though Sky Pivot Temple's people had wiped them out, they were still scattered all over the world.
"I am relieved to hear that." Zhu Minglang nodded.
Zhu Minglang wasn't just being kind. He was just trying to find a balance for Extreme Court and the Saint Watchtower.
