"My name is Jin Zheng, General Chen's adjutant. I'll take you to your accommodation now …" The adjutant left behind by Chen Qian looked to be in his early thirties. He was quite spirited with a buzz cut and a pair of piercing eyes.
Jin Zheng's body was also filled with a murderous aura, forming a unique aura.
There was no need for him to deliberately release anything. Every move he made made people feel as if they were suffocating.
It was obvious that he had been through hundreds of battles.
"General Jin Zheng …" Shirō Makino was interrupted by Jin Zheng as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Little brother, I'm not a general. You can call me Jin Zheng, or Big Brother Jin." A smile appeared on Jin Zheng's face, unlike Chen Qian who kept a straight face.
"Then I'll call you Brother Jin." Shirō Makino nodded, then looked at him and said, "We're not fooling around, nor are we here to shed blood without a purpose. In fact, we know very well what we're doing. So, we won't be staying here for too long … "
Jin Zheng smiled. "It seems that you really don't know what kind of place this is, nor do you understand how dangerous the Heavenly River is. How about this, come with me first, I'll help you settle down first. If you have anything to say, we can talk later! "
Seeing how familiar Jin Zheng was with the place, it seemed that he had often received people like Shirō Makino and the others.
However, before this, Shirō Makino's group had probably not even heard of the name of the place in front of them, apart from Wen Jun.
This group of people could be considered to have come from the elite circles of the two empires. They had never heard of such a supercontinent before.
Even someone of Li Ying's status did not seem to know that there was such a place in the world. If he had known, given his personality, he would have told them about it.
Jin Zheng then brought the group of people to a spacious and bright area. What made everyone speechless was that there were actually many small villas in this area.
It was not very luxurious, but it looked quite orderly, like a small district.
Then, he led everyone into a particularly large, castle-like villa and said, "There are more than 50 rooms here, which should be enough for all of you. When it's time to eat, someone will bring food over. Don't run around."
After that, he said to Shirō Makino, "If you want to go to the Milky Way, we have no right or reason to stop you. After all, just like what this masked lady said, the Frontline Station is shared by all races. Not only are there humans here, but there are also Protoss … "
"There's even a Protoss?"
Before Jin Zheng finished speaking, the group of people couldn't help but burst into an uproar.
Everyone had just fought with the Protoss, and some of their friends had even died at the hands of the Protoss.
Of course, they had killed even more Protoss bastards!
Even the reason why Xiao Bai had run all the way here was because he had killed too many Protoss and was being hunted by the Protoss.
Therefore, when they heard the word "Protoss", everyone's reaction was quite big.
Jin Zheng didn't notice anything unusual. After all, the hostility between the Human Race and the Protoss wasn't something that happened in a day or two. Since the war eight thousand years ago, the seeds of hatred between the Human Race and the Protoss had been buried deep.
Although they were at the Frontline Station, as humans, they knew that the Protoss could make a comeback at any time and descend into the human world, causing another great war.
"Yes, there are Protoss." Jin Zheng's expression was calm. "Not only the Protoss, but there are also many other races. When you came, you should have seen the giant in the cage, right? That's the giant race … "
"Didn't they say that the giant race had gone extinct?" Si Yin whispered.
Jin Zheng looked around but didn't see anyone, but he still answered, "The destruction of the ancient civilization didn't affect this place much. The Frontline Station is basically a place where the ancient civilization survived."
Everyone was shocked. Even Wen Jun couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Shan Gu looked at Jin Zheng. "What about you, Brother Jin?"
Jin Zheng smiled. "I'm also a descendant of the ancient civilization. However, it might be different from what you think. We don't have many ancient inheritances here. On the contrary, the three human empires have a deeper influence on us."
"In other words, this continent is actually a place protected by all races?" Shirō Makino asked.
"Yes, you're very smart. That's indeed the case. Therefore, here, all races coexist peacefully. This naturally includes the Protoss … Here, compared to the three human empires and the Protoss … To a certain extent, we're actually separated … from different worlds, "Jin Zheng said.
"Coexist peacefully … Why did you lock that giant up?" Si Yin asked softly in the crowd.
Jin Zheng looked around again. In the end, he lowered his head and saw Si Yin hiding behind Chae Yi. He couldn't help but praise her in his heart. What a cute little girl!
He smiled and said, "That giant came here to cause trouble. We caught him and locked him up. We've already informed the fortress where he's staying. It hasn't been very peaceful these few days. In a few days, someone will naturally come and pick him up."
"Oh." Si Yin nodded, indicating that she understood.
As the blood of the Giant Tribe flowed in her, she naturally had a good impression of this tribe. Naturally, she didn't want anything to happen to that giant.
Jin Zheng changed the topic and continued, "Indeed, we can enter the Heavenly River at the Frontline Station. However, the Frontline Station is already very dangerous. If the ancient sages didn't set up the Defensive Formation at the Frontline Station, preventing those terrifying creatures from leaving this continent, I'm afraid the human world would have been destroyed long ago! "
"But we're too few people! There are too many creatures sneaking out from the Heavenly River. Especially in recent years, their numbers have been increasing. All we can do is guard here and try our best to kill as many as we can. "
As Jin Zheng spoke, a helpless expression appeared on his face.
Ji Chae Yi asked, "Why don't you ask for help from the three empires?"
"Hehe, ask for help?" Jin Zheng shook his head slightly, as if he didn't want to talk about this topic. "If you stay here for a few days, you should be able to see those creatures from the Heavenly River attacking the fortress. Once you see it, you will understand how terrifying they are. You will also understand why the General couldn't help but reprimand you. You can't even survive at the Frontline Station, let alone in the Heavenly River. Therefore, regardless of whether you're looking for your parents or if you're young and hot-blooded, I advise you to stay for a few days before returning. When the time comes, you will have gained some knowledge. "
Lin Zijin glanced at Shirō Makino, and Shirō Makino returned her gaze.
This person … knows our parents?
Shirō Makino asked directly, "You've seen my parents?"
Jin Zheng nodded. "We've seen both of your parents. You look very much like your parents, but … I think you're slightly more outstanding."
Shirō Makino and Lin Zijin's eyes were filled with surprise. Lin Zijin couldn't help but ask, "Then, when did you see them? Are they … doing well now? "
"I don't know about that. I remember when I saw them, it should have been ten years ago, right? Or was it nine years ago … I can't really remember. You should also know that there's no concept of time in a place like this. " Jin Zheng said, "But they should still be alive. To be honest, they're really powerful. When they appeared here back then, the General also reprimanded them! However, they said that they had a reason to go, so the General let them go. Later, I heard that they actually survived at the Heavenly River. With their level of cultivation, to be able to survive at the Heavenly River, it's really because of this! "
Jin Zheng gave a thumbs up and smiled at everyone. "Alright, if you want to hear a story, I'll find some time to tell it to you. Now, you can just wait here. Someone will send you food later. If any creatures from the Heavenly River attack the stronghold, you'll be able to see it in the room … "
After saying that, Jin Zheng took his leave.
The remaining group of people looked at each other in the large living room.
The atmosphere became a little gloomy for a moment.
Shirō Makino glanced at this group of people. "Sorry to drag you guys into this."
Shan Gu wanted to say something, but Chae Yi secretly gave him a look and he immediately shut his mouth.
He wasn't stupid. Of course, he understood that he didn't have a position to speak. Because everyone knew that the Fu Long Battle Team was one.
Yu Xiuxiu and the other people from the Three Immortal Island didn't respond at all. In their opinion, they would go wherever Xiao Bai went.
After all, their lives were given to them by Xiao Bai.
There was no need to say much about Ouyang Xingqi. She and Shan Gu had experienced so many things together, and their relationship was very deep.
The few Calabash Brothers who survived were naturally their "princess". Wherever she went, they would go.
Speaking of being implicated, among these people, perhaps only Li Peiqi's Cold Palace Battle Team was implicated.
But Li Peiqi was unhappy on the spot.
"Xiao Bai, you're so boring. What? Your Fu Long Battle Team went through fire and water with you. Ouyang is Shan Gu's girlfriend. Xiuxiu and Yueyue are old friends with you … they don't feel implicated by you. Only we don't have a good relationship with you, right? So, are you saying this for us to hear? "
Shirō Makino immediately looked wronged. "I'm saying this for everyone to hear, including Lin Zijin!"
Li Peiqi was instantly speechless.
But Lin Zijin couldn't help but glare at him.
Shirō Makino said, "Getting rid of that group of Protoss is my matter alone. The only one that the Protoss really hates and wants to kill is me. At that time, because I didn't have enough time, I could only drag you guys and run. Now that we're here. You've heard the situation here … "
"Whoever wants to leave can leave, but I'm not leaving!" Li Peiqi said. "None of us from Cold Palace will leave! Doesn't it matter where we go? Now that we can openly skip class, it's good. "
Yu Xiuxiu glanced at Shirō Makino. "You're so lucky. Staying by your side will bring us good luck. So, stop talking nonsense and don't be unreasonable. It's not like we haven't experienced life and death."
Ouyang Xingqi flicked her ponytail that had recently been tied back and said calmly, "We're not leaving either."
Shirō Makino rolled his eyes. "What if I leave?"
"We'll go wherever you go." The group said in unison.
Damn, they couldn't get rid of them …
At the same time.
Jin Zheng was currently reporting to Chen Qian.
"General, the murderous aura on these kids isn't ordinary. You might not have noticed it before, but when I was chatting with them just now, I realized that they definitely have experienced life and death battles, and … not just once. It's definitely not the aura accumulated in the virtual world."
Chen Qian glanced at him. "So what?"
"What I mean is, should we ask them what happened to them?" Jin Zheng suggested.
"Those two kids are obviously here to find their parents. As for their murderous aura … Heh, this thing can accumulate murderous aura by killing a group of Interstellar Pirates on the way here." Chen Qian curled his lips in disdain.
"That's true." Jin Zheng nodded, then asked, "What if they still want to go to Sky River after staying here for a few days?"
Chen Qian was silent for a while, then sighed. "We're all humans. To be honest, I really don't want to see a bunch of kids die. However, if they want to go, there's no reason for us to stop them, right? When that time comes, just find a few more people to escort them. "
"Hey, boss, you really have a sharp tongue but a soft heart. You've done a good deed, yet you don't allow people to talk about it. You were like that when those two couples were back then, and you're still like that now. "Jin Zheng smiled and flattered.
Chen Qian sighed and said, "Aren't people like us who guard here all year round like that? Even those Protoss aren't much different. It seems like a year ago? How long has it been? Don't tell me someone else came, another couple? Their realms are not bad, they've entered the God Tier. It should be the Protoss General from Fortress 72 who escorted them all the way to the Gate of Sky River, right? "
Jin Zheng nodded. "That's right. We're in a different world from the outside world. We don't have to deal with those grudges."
Chen Qian nodded. "Previously, all the races had to unite in order to barely resist. When all of us die … Then, what about the three empires? Protoss? Hehe … "
He shook his head and said no more.
That night, someone sent a large amount of meat to Shirō Makino and the others.
Birds and beasts of all kinds could be found.
As for vegetables … there was none.
Fortunately, these people were all cultivators and were used to all kinds of high-energy meat.
After eating, they were all very satisfied.
Even a foodie like Shirō Makino couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
He could tell with one bite that some of the rare beasts were definitely not lower than Great Masters. There was even a type of bird meat that should be God Tier Spiritual Beasts!
"Could it be that these things crawled out from the Sky River? How delicious! If it's really from the Heavenly River, why didn't they just send the experts from the three empires to hunt here? It won't take long for these things to go extinct, right? "Shan Gu said, his mouth dripping with grease.
"Extinct my foot. If they really did that, the hunters would be the ones going extinct." Shirō Makino looked at him and said, "Don't you think about how big this continent is? There are trillions of us humans, but how many of us really have the ability to hunt these rare beasts and God Tier beasts? Besides, the Protoss has been eyeing us. Which of the three empires would dare to send their people here to hunt? "
Wenjun nodded and said, "That's right. Just now, Jin Zheng wanted to say something but stopped because the three empires were not willing to send anyone here. After all, to the higher-ups of the three empires, there's a defensive formation here. As long as it's there, the creatures in the Sky River won't be able to break in … "
Lin Zijin shook her head and said, "It's not that the three empires didn't send anyone here. The people they sent are all in the Sky River."
When everyone thought of Xiao Bai and Zijin's parents, they suddenly felt like they had a sudden realization.
Wenjun thought about it and grunted in agreement. It wasn't good to talk about this topic anymore.
Because she already knew that Xiao Bai and Zijin's parents were set up and exiled. And it seemed to have something to do with Xiao Bai and Zijin.
"The three empires probably didn't want to send more people here. So the people here probably have some opinions about the three empires." Lin Zijin didn't care too much about this topic.
Anyway, she and her brother were definitely going to the Sky River. If the others followed, then so be it. If not, she wouldn't say anything.
To her, it was fine as long as her brother was here.
With her brother by her side, she wasn't afraid of anything.
Including death.
After dinner, everyone felt a little tired and went to bed early.
At two or three o 'clock in the morning, an urgent alarm suddenly sounded, waking everyone up.
Then, a cold voice came from the room. "Stay in the room. Don't wander around!"
This voice belonged to the old-fashioned middle-aged man, Chen Qian.
Following that, screens of light appeared in every room. What was shown on the screens was the scene outside at that very moment.
Someone knocked on Shirō Makino's door. Lin Zijin pushed the door open and came in. She climbed onto the bed and squeezed beside Shirō Makino. "Brother, let's watch together."
Shirō Makino casually pulled her into his arms. Lin Zijin also naturally leaned on Shirō Makino's shoulder. The two of them quietly watched the scene on the light screen that made their scalps tingle.
There were probably tens of thousands of beetle-like creatures that they had never seen before. They were coming from afar like a tide.
At this moment, the Longsong Cannon that they saw during the day shot out a bright white light.
The light was so dazzling that it illuminated the entire area.
When the light hit the beetles, a blank space appeared in that area.
Then, the Longsong Cannon continued to shoot out bright white light, and the huge beetles died in large numbers.
However, at this moment, a group of figures that were thousands of meters tall rushed over from afar.
"What's that?" Lin Zijin couldn't help but exclaim.
Those behemoths were too big!
Each of them was like a mountain. Of course, compared to the mountains here, they weren't even considered as dust particles.
But to humans, something that was thousands of meters tall was definitely a real mountain!
If these things didn't move, they might really be mistaken for mountains.
Because they were all triangular, and their bodies were covered in petrified skin.
They couldn't see their eyes, noses, mouths, or feet. They were like a huge pyramid moving horizontally, approaching from afar.
The Longsong Cannon aimed at those things and fired!
However, the Longsong Cannon that could easily kill the beetles seemed powerless in front of this group of behemoths.
A blast from the cannon could at most blast off a large piece of the petrified skin on those things, but it couldn't penetrate them!
Lin Zijin said nervously, "Brother, this Longsong Cannon … should be able to kill ordinary God-level beings, right? Those big guys … what the hell are they? "
Shirō Makino's expression turned serious. He frowned and said, "I can't tell their cultivation level from this, but I can feel that their defense is super strong!"
At this moment, the Longsong Cannon suddenly stopped firing!
Then, dozens of figures appeared on the screen.
They charged toward the group of mountain-like behemoths.
Because they were too fast, it was hard to see who was who. However, the powerful attacks landed on the behemoths in the next moment.
Kaboom!
A red light that looked like an ancient magic landed on one of the "mountains". The "mountains" immediately let out an earth-shattering roar.
Then, flames began to rise from the wound.
It burned intensely.
Shirō Makino and Lin Zijin, who were leaning against the headboard, immediately sat up. They exclaimed in unison, "Overlord-level?"
Then, they looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
There was an Overlord-level being in a Longsong Fortress?
This was just the first stop. What would the real Divine River be like?
Both of them thought of their parents at the same time. What cultivation level were they at when they left?
How did they survive in the Divine River?
The two young people who were connected instantly understood each other's thoughts.
They had to go to the Divine River!
