Chapter 471: Chapter 471

471: Chapter 451 Guests 471: Chapter 451 Guests Although it is not known why, the number and races of multiverse humanoid creatures are relatively large, but there are also a considerable amount of various insect-like, fish-like creatures, and those that cannot be classified under any species.

Shepherd Silver people, it’s what they call themselves…

unlike the humans who share many similarities with the local population, they are obviously aliens in this world.

Locals have a more straightforward and understandable name for them – “Glass People.”

Their bodies are transparent, with liquid silver flowing inside, simple block organs that contain life’s secret, making them truly unique creatures overall.

Reportedly, they are not as fragile as they appear; they have excellent high temperature and cold resistance, but they do not need conventional breathing and eating, because…

“…in the previous camp, there were animal corpses that it sucked dry, those damned vampires!”

This creature is a peculiar parasitic lifeform.

It can survive on the “life force” of other creatures…

Normally, it is not fatal, but if it’s a beast specifically used for hunting, it’s a different story.

Some knights are angry, some are puzzled, and some show no expression…

Apparently, they too have different opinions about their former “friends.”

However, they are generally angry and puzzled, as betrayal has always been the most unacceptable among various negative emotions.

Being able to encounter traces of their passing here, after the initial shock, seems plausible.

Apparently, these glass people received some information and prepared to flee.

The friendly relationships they had with the local knights, lords, and people…

and the private dealings they had with the previous lord, also made it possible for them to know about the Beast God falling.

“That damned fat man, trying to have one’s cake and eat it too, and not telling us anything.”

There are indeed grievances within the team.

It was evident that the lord used the information to deal with the glass people and stopped the trade when they couldn’t satisfy his needs…

The question is, how much do they know about Beast God’s intelligence, and whether they understand more than their team.

“Go back and interrogate the bastard lord?

Not worth it, those glass people are at least two days ahead of us…”

After some thought, the most important thing at the moment is the combat ability of the glass people.

“Their abilities are unique; it’s hard to say.”

“They claim not to be good at fighting, just ordinary travelers.”

When they attacked, Knight Commander Lewis Liu got hurt, along with two apprentice knights…”

“But they didn’t really try to kill.

They just took things and fled.”

It’s because reinforcements arrived too quickly, right?”

The knights’ answers were varied and even contradictory; from their consensus, the creatures were confirmed to possess a certain level of fighting ability…

Otherwise, they could not have escaped the encirclement of the Knight Corps.

Lu Ping’an also noticed the knights’ hostility towards outsiders…

If an unprecedented disaster occurred in my hometown, and a group of familiar and even trusted foreigners suddenly turned against us, I would also be hostile to all newcomers and immigrants.

Emotions like these often make no sense, and can’t be suppressed…

but this isn’t even the biggest problem.

Trust takes time to build, but betrayal can happen in an instant…

Once betrayed, some unlucky people can’t bear the cost of “trust” for a short while, or even their entire life.

Don’t get the wrong idea; Lu Ping’an wants to eliminate those glass people.

Anyway, getting rid of them is like pulling out a thorn in the knights’ hearts.

The healing of the wounds afterwards should not be his concern…

He was just thinking about how to make better use of these knights.

This group of knights, with an average combat power of 2nd and 3rd-tier, and even an unfathomable deputy commander, is the most useful bargaining chip he has…

If they still can’t win, he might have to consider bypassing those glass people.

Once Lu Ping’an’s decision was made, the atmosphere immediately intensified…

The knights’ No.1 mission was to chase the glass people, not only to fulfil their duty but also to avenge the deceived feelings.

In the past, when the glass people were doing charity and setting up factories in the civilian sector, many knights had volunteered to help, and they had a pretty good relationship.

The glass people were incredibly friendly and talkative, the stories and culture they brought were captivating, especially the peaceful and equal society they believed in…

However, once betrayed, many knights became determined to kill.

With the target determined, the remaining work became much simpler, and there was no longer any need for the hassle of finding a route.

They just had to follow the trail left by those glass people, and they shouldn’t go wrong.

“….They must have had scouting abilities, bypassing the sources of contamination we were detecting.”

This was naturally a good thing.

The group followed the trail left behind and increased their tracking speed.

However, the development of the situation always exceeded expectations.

On the third day of speeding up, the group found the glass people…

or rather, some “glass fragments.”

“Is this a sword wound?

Were they cut down by someone?”

They were scattered on the ground in a valley beneath a hillside, naturally a dead end.

The unfortunate glass people were brutally abandoned in the wild by someone.

Because of their unique physiological structure, even the most skilled medical examiner couldn’t determine how long they’d been dead or how many of them there were.

“…They didn’t all die.

At least a few of their leaders, and the parts on their bodies, don’t match up…”

Seemed like good news?

Or at least there were still two or more groups competing.

“Deputy Commander, come have a look…”

Someone called out, and an out-of-place body was found – he was a tall local man.

The knight tore open his shirt, and the giant snake tattoo on it was quite eye-catching.

“He’s from the Evil Bone.

He might be the glass people’s collaborator, or he might just be taking advantage of them.”

“Isn’t it a bit early to start making moves now?”

“Heh, the glass people themselves are very valuable.

Are you sure those Evil Bone robbers are going after the things in the forest?

Shouldn’t they be satisfied with just one score?”

Glass people were valuable, and the phrase reminded Lu Ping’an.

As you’re watching someone else’s wallet, others are also watching yours…

As otherworldly visitors, even without a boat ticket, just the knowledge of the otherworld and its treasures can attract countless robbers.

If those robbers knew the truth of the world, or even were members of the Doomsday cult?

It would be even simpler.

The “return map” in the hands of the glass people would be the most valuable treasure.

“Heh, boys wandering alone outside should protect themselves well.” Compared to them, the knight corps that Lu Ping’an partnered with should be more reliable.

At least before the collapse of social order, the security forces should still be trustworthy.

But moving forward, the bad news came one after another.

“It’s the Red Sand Thief!

Those Exotic Realm bandits!”

“The wolf pack is actually here.

No wonder our journey has been so smooth so far…”

As Catherine had mentioned before, the corpses of those otherworldly teams that directly started robbing appeared in front of them in the form of corpses.

A large number of bodies piled up chaotically, forming a small hill.

It was obviously a cruel battlefield, and this time, it could be estimated that the battle took place within the last two days.

In that battlefield, there were many mutated demon corpses, many of which were the same evil wolves that Lu Ping’an had seen before…

Lu Ping’an saw one giant evil wolf that was even bigger than Little Flame, with fatal wounds on its head.

The scene made people shudder.

In a small forest, at least four or five forces had gathered.

All eyes were on Lu Ping’an, and moving forward would no longer be just exploration or adventure in difficulty.

Perhaps, they needed to prepare for a fight.

“Heh, isn’t this a good thing?

This means we’re heading in the right direction, and it also suggests that the Beast God’s fallen legacy isn’t just a baseless legend.”

At the same time as Lu Ping’an made up his mind, the big cat was making a fuss on the other side.

“Fight for it, of course!

The Divine Foundation is gained through struggle, and without accidents or deaths, I’d think it was all fake.”
