At four or five in the morning, before the sun even rose, Lin Huang woke up from his sleep.
There was a loud noise coming from the sky far away. It sounded like Thunder, but at the same time, it also sounded like intense gunfire. Even the glass windows of the hotel were vibrating with a buzzing sound.
"Thunder?" Lin Huang thought it was strange as the noise sounded like heavy gunfire.
Confused, Lin Huang got up and walked to the window to look at the sky. It was dark outside the window and there were stars in the sky. It did not look like it was going to rain at all.
"This commotion, could it be two Transcendents fighting?" As Lin Huang was thinking about it, the noise got further and further away. Within a few minutes, he could no longer hear it.
After getting rid of the thoughts, Lin Huang went back to his bed to sleep as it was still dark outside.
It was not even seven in the morning when the Emperor's Heart Ring on Lin Huang's finger started vibrating, waking Lin Huang up from his sleep.
It was Yi Yeyu.
"Why are you calling so early …" Lin Huang mumbled as he looked at the time. It was only 6.40 am He picked up the call anyway.
"Lin Huang, come to my room. I have something important to tell you!" Yi Yeyu sounded serious.
"So early?" Lin Huang was speechless.
"Hurry up, don't dawdle," Yi Yeyu said and hung up.
Lin Huang wiped his face with cold water. He did not even brush his teeth. He just rinsed his mouth with water and left the room.
When he arrived at Yi Yeyu's room, she was walking around in the living room. She seemed very uneasy and she did not even notice that Lin Huang had entered the room.
"What happened?" Lin Huang closed the door. He thought Yi Yeyu's reaction was unusual.
"Zhang Bo is dead!" That was the first thing Yi Yeyu said when she turned around and saw Lin Huang.
"What?!" Lin Huang was stunned. "You mean the transcendent from last night?!"
"It was around four in the morning when I was woken up by a loud noise. I guessed that they were fighting. Therefore, he used a probing relic to observe the battle process. At first, they fought not far from the back of the snowy mountain. Later, they moved further away. He fought with the monster for more than two hours. In the end, he was ambushed and killed by the monster, and his body was eaten. The monster was severely injured and escaped into the desert, "Yi Yeyu said to herself.
"Have you informed the Hunter Association about this?" Lin Huang, on the other hand, was calmer.
"Yes, it was around six in the morning. I informed them the moment I saw him being killed. I even sent the video recorded by the relic to them." Yi Yeyu nodded.
"What did the Hunters' Association say?" Lin Huang asked.
"They said it would take at least two days for the next transcendent to arrive …" Yi Yeyu said helplessly. "However, the transcendent monster is severely injured. It will definitely attack the humans in the footholds before the other transcendent humans arrive. It will consume a large amount of Life Light to heal itself."
"Wouldn't it be faster if you used the green wooden door to bring the transcendent here?" Lin Huang suddenly thought of this.
"The green wooden door is just an ordinary space relic. It's not as magical as you think. There are many limitations to its usage. It can only teleport to the coordinates that I've been to and personally located. There's also a limit to the distance. It has to be within 3,000 kilometers. It's not as easy as you think. "Yi Yeyu shook her head and explained.
"How about the number of people? Is there a limit? How many people can we teleport in a day?" Lin Huang asked.
"A maximum of 300 people at a time. We can only teleport five times a day. We can only teleport 1,500 people a day. However, there are more than 200,000 people in this foothold … "Yi Yeyu shook her head. She had thought about this earlier but it was not going to work.
"There are not many vultures here, less than 50 of them …" Lin Huang thought of riding on the vultures but soon, he rejected the idea.
"Forget it, there's no need to think about it. I'll gather everyone around eight o 'clock later. I'll send all of you away. " Yi Yeyu knew that it was impossible for her to bring all the people here with her. She made her decision without hesitation.
"If we all leave, these two hundred thousand people will be slaughtered by those monsters." Lin Huang looked at Yi Yeyu. He did not agree with the idea of giving up the people. After all, it was more than 200,000 lives.
"I'll stay." Yi Yeyu said calmly.
Lin Huang fell into silence. He was thinking if he should ask Xue Luo and Bing Wang to help. However, he gave up on the idea after some thought.
He did save Xue Luo but Xue Luo also helped him to repair his Life Wheel and gave him an epiphany. In this way, the two of them didn't owe each other anything anymore. Moreover, Xue Luo was a member of the monster world. It would be too much to ask her to kill a Transcendent monster that she did not have any grudges against.
After some thought, Lin Huang said again, "You said that the Transcendent monster is severely injured. It's unlikely that it will attack us. It'll only cause a monster horde. There are only level-1 and level-2 wild zones around here. The most powerful monsters are only bronze-level. If we stay and fight, we might stand a chance! "
"Although the monsters' levels are not high, there are too many of them. Even a gold-level hunter like me will be killed by the monster horde. I'm a member of the Hunters' Association. I have to stay to protect the people. You guys are not registered yet so you're not considered hunters. You have no obligation to stay. I know that you young people are brave but it's not the time to be stubborn. Stay alive. When you're stronger, you can kill more monsters to avenge the people. "Yi Yeyu shook her head and rejected Lin Huang's suggestion. It was obvious that she was ready to die.
Seeing her reaction, Lin Huang did not say anything else.
At eight o 'clock, everyone received an urgent notification from Yi Yeyu and gathered in the meeting room on the first floor of the hotel.
Lin Huang sat quietly in the last row of the meeting room.
Seeing that everyone, including Bai Yan, had arrived, Yi Yeyu began to speak.
"I've gathered all of you here today to tell you a piece of very bad news." Yi Yeyu took a deep breath and slowly told the truth. "The Transcendent that was sent by the association came last night. He found the Transcendent monster that caused the mutation. However, he was killed by the monster at around six o 'clock this morning."
As soon as Yi Yeyu said that, everyone fell into silence. Soon, there was an uproar.
"Even a human Transcendent was killed. This foothold is not safe."
"We should have left yesterday. The Transcendent monster must have targeted the foothold nearby."
"Head examiner, you should be able to send us away, right?"
"Head examiner, you're the one who asked us to stay. You have to be responsible for our safety!"
…
Yi Yeyu did not look good when she was criticized by the crowd. However, she did not say anything.
"Everyone, please be quiet! Let the head examiner finish. "At that moment, Lin Huang who was sitting in the last row stood up.
"Lin Huang, you're responsible for this too. If you didn't stop us, many of us would have left a few days ago. "Seeing that Lin Huang stood up, someone immediately criticized Lin Huang.
"Are you looking for a beating?!" Lin Huang summoned the white-haired Bai. Bai stood quietly next to Lin Huang and glanced at the crowd coldly.
Seeing Lin Huang's gaze, many of them were stunned. They remembered clearly that they were beaten up badly when they offended Lin Huang.
"Lin Huang, don't use your summoning monsters to pressure us." At that moment, Bai Yan stood up and stood opposite to Lin Huang again. He summoned the Lion-Headed Troll and looked like he was going to attack if there was any disagreement.
"Stop!" Yi Yeyu could not hold it in anymore and shouted.
Seeing that Yi Yeyu was about to lose her temper, the crowd immediately quietened down.
"I haven't finished what I wanted to say." Yi Yeyu suppressed her anger and continued, "I've already informed the higher-ups of the association and they're sending other Transcendents here. However, it'll take them two days to arrive. So, my idea is to send everyone out of here safely first. "
Hearing what Yi Yeyu said, no one had any objections.
After a moment of silence, a young voice was heard from the back row. "Head examiner, you can send them away but I won't."
