Han Shuo, who had been sitting in silence for a long time, suddenly stood up when he saw the enormous interplanar transportation matrix next to him radiating dazzling white light. He concentrated all his attention on the interplanar transportation matrix.
Han Shuo had been waiting for this moment for a long time. When he saw the interplanar transportation matrix radiating white light, he knew that the experts from alien material planes were about to appear inside the interplanar transportation matrix.
"Hmm …" a soft exclamation sounded from the interplanar transportation matrix. The light dispersed and two women and three men walked out from the matrix.
At the forefront was a charming, beautiful woman wearing a navy blue gauze skirt. She had bright eyes and white teeth. Her entire body was brimming with the element of darkness. Han Shuo could sense an extremely terrifying energy from her body. She was definitely a midgod expert. Han Shuo was immediately startled.
Behind the beautiful woman was a skinny old man who cultivated in the elemental energy of death. He possessed approximately late-stage lowgod strength. Behind the old man were two youngsters cultivating in the edict of destruction. Both of them had dignified appearances and approximately late-stage lowgod strength.
The last one was a young lady in a short purple skirt. She had snow-white arms and a delicate face. However, her eyes were unusually cunning. She cultivated in the elemental energy of death and was also a mid-stage lowgod.
The party of five consisted of a beautiful woman, a young lady, an old man, and two young men. Other than the beautiful woman whose strength was unfathomable, the other four were all late-stage lowgods. This caused Han Shuo's heart to sink.
"Big guy, you're the one who will be receiving us? Ha, why do you look so dull? " The young lady rolled her eyes and her quick-witted eyes landed on Han Shuo. She chuckled rudely.
"Li Wei, what are you talking about?!" The beautiful woman first chided the young lady smilingly before walking out of the interplanar transportation matrix. She glanced at her surroundings and said to Han Shuo, "Li Wei is a little mischievous. Don't mind her."
By now, Han Shuo had calmed down from the surprise of the party's arrival. He put on a bright smile and said in a relaxed manner, "Welcome to Profound Continent!"
"A low-level material plane. It must be boring!" Li Wei wrinkled her nose and stretched her body. She looked around as though she was looking for something that could interest her.
"Li Wei, why don't I show you around this low-level material plane? Let's see if there's anything interesting in this low-level material plane," suggested one of the young men who cultivated in the edict of destruction.
"Yes, yes, let's go." Li Wei was overjoyed and hastily agreed.
"Before the situation is clear, do not act alone." The beautiful woman frowned and said.
After hearing Donna's words, Li Wei helplessly spread out her hands at the young man and lazily said, "I know, Big Sister Donna. You are really strict!"
The beautiful woman, Donna, smiled and said helplessly, "We didn't come here to play this time. Those fellows might have already arrived. In this unfamiliar continent, it will be dangerous if we encounter them alone. Let's figure out the situation on this continent first before we decide on a course of action. "
After sizing up the five and listening to their conversation for a while, Han Shuo could roughly tell that the beautiful woman named Donna was the leader of the party. The old man who cultivated in the elemental energy of death was silent. He looked at Li Wei with eyes filled with respect, as though he was her servant. Of the two young men who cultivated in the edict of destruction, the one who spoke to Li Wei was more talkative while the other was taciturn.
"We don't know much about the specific situation on this continent. Can you give us a brief introduction?" Donna asked Han Shuo smilingly after gesturing for the party to be quiet.
The other four stopped their chatter when they heard that Donna was getting down to business. Their gazes simultaneously gathered on Han Shuo, silently sizing up Han Shuo.
Faced with the probing gazes of the five, Han Shuo put on a calm smile and calmly said, "I don't have much to say about the situation on this continent. I reckon that you won't be interested. Right, I'll give you a brief summary of the situation related to your mission. The entrance to the underground world is located in a forest. The path leading to the deepest part of the forest is controlled by the race of dark dragons. I have a close relationship with the race of dark dragons and it won't be a problem for them to find the path.
Your enemies have arrived on this continent ahead of you. As I have to guard this interplanar transportation matrix, I don't know their current location and movements for the time being. All I know is that one of them is a midgod from the Shrine of Ice … "
After skipping over some unimportant details, Han Shuo briefly described some of the most basic situations on Profound Continent and his understanding of those people.
"Hmm, very detailed. Not bad," Donna nodded smilingly. Then, she changed the topic and asked, "By the way, what's your name?"
"Brian," Han Shuo replied.
"Oh, Brian, let me introduce you," Donna said as she turned around. She pointed at the young lady behind her and smilingly said, "Li Wei, late-stage lowgod of death. She is from the House of Kiaran. That old man over there is her servant. He is a late-stage lowgod just like her. His name is Colbert. The other two are my brothers who cultivate in the edict of destruction. Their names are Bolten and Bowen from the House of Brook. I'm Donna. I might have to trouble you in the future on this material plane. "
Every time Donna introduced someone to them, they would nod at Han Shuo in greeting. However, it could be seen that none of the five actually took Han Shuo seriously. They merely returned the greetings out of courtesy and not from the bottom of their hearts.
In their eyes, Han Shuo, a minor god from a low-level material plane, should be the kind of person who did not carry much weight and could only provide guidance. It was only natural that they would not give Han Shuo the respect he deserved in the truest sense of the word.
Donna mentioned the family clans of the four but did not mention her own origins. This puzzled Han Shuo. According to the memories left behind by Bechymos and the original owner of the skeletal staff, Han Shuo knew that the gods of death and the Gods Of Destruction shared a close relationship. It was only natural that Li Wei and Bolten would come together.
However, Donna was clearly a cultivator in the elemental energy of darkness. For her to come as the leader this time around, Han Shuo was rather surprised. He thought to himself, Could it be that the Overgod of Darkness is also in cahoots with those two evil gods?
While Han Shuo was still in shock, Li Wei suddenly let out a soft cry and went to the glass container containing the sea monster. She looked at the sea monster that looked like a little octopus and giggled, "Ha, what an ugly little fish. Interesting!"
Li Wei was about to break the boundary laid down by Han Shuo and take out the little octopus to play with without any scruples.
"Don't touch it, it's not a pet!" Han Shuo knitted his brows and lightly shouted.
Although Han Shuo did not care about the sea monster's life or death, it was his territory and therefore his property. That Li Wei had been too presumptuous to touch his property without his consent. This made Han Shuo rather displeased.
"It's just an ugly little fish. What's so precious about it? Let me play with it! " Li Wei acted as though she did not hear what Han Shuo said. She was already preparing to break the boundary and take out the sea monster to play with.
A figure flashed past and appeared beside Li Wei in the blink of an eye. Before Li Wei could react, the glass container was already in Han Shuo's hand. Han Shuo waved his hand and a crack appeared on the boundary of the Cemetery of Death. The glass container was tossed out and shattered. The sea monster miserably fled into the sea.
"Damn it, what kind of people are they?! How, how could they be so terrifying?! " The sea monster trembled in fear. It could sense an extremely terrifying pressure from Li Wei and the others. It was truly frightened. Its tentacles wriggled rapidly as it rolled back into the sea and fled into the distance.
"Scram, scram as far as you can. If you don't want to die, leave this sea forever," Han Shuo transmitted to the sea monster.
Han Shuo had promised to spare the sea monster's life. He did not want to break his promise because of Li Wei, especially when Li Wei had disregarded his master's feelings.
"You, you stole something from me?" Li Wei could not react for a moment. She looked at Han Shuo with a puzzled expression and mumbled.
"That thing was mine to begin with. My letting it go has nothing to do with you," Han Shuo replied indifferently.
Before Li Wei could say anything, that emaciated old man had already fixed his gloomy eyes on Han Shuo with a displeased expression.
Donna, on the other hand, was rather astonished as she sized up Han Shuo. Han Shuo's speed was so fast that she could not react for a moment. What shocked Donna the most was that she did not sense Han Shuo using the energy of death or destruction!
All of a sudden, Donna became rather curious about Han Shuo. When she saw the gloomy expression on Colbert's face, she smilingly tried to smooth things over and said, "It's just a small fish. What's the big deal about letting it go? Li Wei, we are your guests. You should know your limits and not be too rude! "
"What's so great about a petty fella?!" Li Wei was originally in a bad mood. But after hearing Donna's words, she rolled her quick-witted eyes and let out a snort as though nothing had happened.
Colbert lowered his head again after hearing Li Wei's words. He once again put on a lifeless look.
"I didn't expect a person from a low-level material plane to be so interesting. Hehe!" Bolten, who had been talking to Li Wei previously, mumbled to himself with a low chuckle.
"If you don't mind, we can set off for the underground world." Han Shuo wore a composed expression as though he did not hear or see the disdain in their eyes.
"That would be for the best," Donna readily agreed.
"Let me lead the way." Han Shuo was rather displeased. He did not use the transportation matrix at the center of the Cemetery of Death to first head to Brettel City and then directly travel to Valen City and the Dark Forest. Instead, he directly passed through the Cemetery of Death and made the long journey from the Boundless Sea.
Naturally, Donna and the others did not know that Han Shuo had such a fast and efficient route. Therefore, they did not say much and followed him towards the Dark Forest.
"Oh, right, how did you know that a midgod has come to the Shrine of Ice?" Donna seemed to be a bit interested in Han Shuo as they flew through the clouds towards the Dark Forest. She looked at Han Shuo for a while and felt that he was a bit odd. She thought for a bit and asked.
"I've seen him!" Han Shuo was rather polite to Donna. He turned his head and replied with a smile.
"Shameless boasting. If he was a midgod, would you still be alive after seeing him? Especially when he knows that you have control over that interplanar transportation matrix! " Li Wei ridiculed disdainfully. She seemed to be retaliating against Han Shuo for snatching the sea monster from her hands.
Although Li Wei was caught off guard, she was still rather indignant that Han Shuo could snatch the sea monster from her hands. However, Li Wei was not as reckless as she appeared to be and she had to give face to Donna. Therefore, she did not flare up on the spot and decided to settle the score slowly.
However, Han Shuo actually dared to say that he had seen that midgod right in front of them. This was too much of a boast.
"Believe it or not, it's up to you!" Han Shuo smiled and shook his head. He did not want to waste any more time with this young lady who was full of evil tricks.
Donna was also very surprised but she did not question Han Shuo's statement. Instead, she beat around the bush and asked, "Where did you see him? What happened?"
"After I killed the guardian of this interplanar plane and destroyed the interplanar transportation matrix, I was blocked by him when I was about to leave the boundary. After escaping from that boundary, I nearly died from serious injuries. Unfortunately, I was still one step too late. If I had gone there a few days earlier, perhaps they wouldn't have been able to make it here! "Han Shuo said regretfully.
"Wha, what? You have killed the guardian of this interplanar plane and destroyed the interplanar transportation matrix that he controlled? " At this moment, even the leader of the party, Donna, couldn't help but cry out in surprise. She sized up Han Shuo rather strangely.
"Hah, to think that you could escape from the boundary of a midgod. Friend, you are too good at boasting. I admire you!" Bolten laughed heartily and said eccentrically.
Han Shuo forced a smile and shook his head. He did not explain anything.
"Brian, you said that you really destroyed the interplanar transportation matrix?" Donna's expression was solemn. She asked seriously, "Are you sure?"
"Of course!" Han Shuo said coolly, "If you don't believe me, you can let one of them go over and have a look."
"No matter how you destroyed the interplanar transportation matrix, if it is true, we will have the upper hand in this battle. Yes, I will remember this credit. Don't worry, I won't mistreat you. " Donna was overjoyed to see Han Shuo's affirmation. She did not expect to hear such good news so soon after arriving on this continent.
The destruction of the interplanar transportation matrix meant that if there were any casualties on their side, they could return as soon as possible. Moreover, they could use the interplanar transportation matrix to mobilize experts to help. This was a great advantage. On the other hand, not only could they not continuously replenish their manpower, they might even have to go through a lot of trouble on their way back.
Han Shuo shrugged and put on a carefree smile. He did not claim any credit or flatter. He appeared very relaxed.
Donna nodded inwardly. Her opinion of Han Shuo improved a little. She felt that although Han Shuo's strength was lacking, his willpower and bearing were truly extraordinary. With that in mind, she had a favorable impression of Han Shuo. She shot a glance at old man Colbert who was standing beside Li Wei and knitted her brows.
Donna knew that although Li Wei's actions were preposterous, she was not one to fuss over minor matters. However, her house servant, Colbert, was not so magnanimous. Given Colbert's strength, if he wanted to make Han Shuo suffer a little, Donna felt that Han Shuo would not be able to escape. Therefore, she made some calculations.
