Chapter 525: Chapter 525
525: Chapter 505: Awakening 525: Chapter 505: Awakening The Xindake people had the ability to traverse the Starry Sea thousands of years ago.
They, similar to insects, were once a high-tech civilization…until one day, they encountered an extraordinary creature larger than a planet itself.
They lost their homeland and their native land.
Now, they are also a wandering race, but they have a new home and have turned the native inhabitants into their new slaves.
As a Starry Sea race, their history far surpasses that of humans, and their magical system is sophisticated.
However, at the current stage, they still need to follow the “Ark of God” exploration method.
It’s just that this group of explorers worships the “God of Technology,” making the situation rather delicate.
Moreover, since they are a hive-like group, their kingdom doesn’t have a nation concept.
Instead, each group is actually a “family.” They are united internally, but constantly fight externally with no national recognition.
Forget about sending a deity or Quasi-God to infiltrate for a long period of time; their “exploration” is much more straightforward…Those unlucky ones who were forced onto the ship have no idea what kind of fate awaits them.
The smarter ones sign a “ship rental agreement,” which means they borrow a ship to leave this world, and once they’re out, there’s no interference.
These wanderers form their own group, seeking a stable world to make a living on their own.
However, these “nobles” who have never left the earth don’t understand any of that.
They apply their past experiences in a rigid way, assuming a stance of “You take my money, and you have to take care of me when you take me out”…
The supernatural agreement may be valid, but there are too many loopholes in those terms.
Once they arrive in the Xindake people’s world, where they will have to pay for air, water, and the land they step on, it’s only a matter of time before they become slaves.
But because the Xindake people are not so upright, those who know about them wouldn’t have a good impression of them…
Many worlds refuse their entry, and even in the Holy City, where foreigners gather, they are the least favored.
Unlike the people from the Eastern Country who have the protection of the “God of Travelers,” their time is not only limited, but their utilization rate is extremely low…
When 90% of their exploration time is spent on the road, their gains are naturally greatly reduced.
What’s even more lethal is that it takes just as long or even longer for them to return to where they started..
In other words, considering their future situation, they might need to consider returning to the Holy City right now.
By the time they come and go, they will have spent an extra two months on the road.
This is the reality for most explorers…
The Eastern Country paid a huge price and had a long-term layout, resulting in the Doomsday celebration of the Eastern people.
What they save is not only the time spent on the road but also the risks in the journey, as well as the time to seize opportunities.
At the moment, when the whole world senses a crisis, time is extremely precious.
Lü Ping’an’s team was able to gain so much, which is not an isolated case.
In times of global crisis, all small probability events turn into high probability ones, and the gains and risks of explorers are both maximized….
“Why are there so many demons?
This is not what we were told to expect.”
From the moment the Xindake people’s team first entered the forest, things didn’t go smoothly.
They encountered the un-eliminable “stream” and “forest,” were chased and killed by the red magical vines that crazily pursued life, and were chased and killed by various twisted demons.
But the deadliest thing, above all, was…
“Why are there so many dead…”
A large number of undead creatures crawled out from the ground, their rotting bodies filled with a stench and curses.
On the bones of the ones who had been dead for a long time, there were countless tentacles at the broken points.
They are the dead, or at least, used to be called the dead.
“There should be at least one month left…”
As time passes, the matter of the Seven Disasters is becoming less of a secret in the Holy City, with many high-level foreign circles spreading the news.
If Lü Ping’an’s team sends someone back to the capital, as long as they are willing to pay for the information, they would most likely get some news.
At the same time, a similar timeline has been formed…
According to that timeline, the Third Disaster should not arrive so early; at the very least, it should be next month.
Now, however, the forest is full of the undead.
The underground residents have been awakened by the “pollution” and erosion and have surfaced.
Over countless years, countless dead creatures, magical beasts, and humans alike have been buried underground here…
“…No, it’s not right, it shouldn’t be .
How could there be so many?”
For the Xindake people who stirred up the hornet’s nest, the number before their eyes is still incomprehensible.
The large number of undead and demons has already exceeded the carrying capacity of the forest area.
However, if Lü Ping’an’s team were here, they might be able to piece together a plausible explanation.
There are two reasons.
Firstly, the previous battle had consequences.
The order between life and death was disrupted, and the underground seals were torn apart.
This area became the most vulnerable seal in the vicinity.
This is akin to a volcanic eruption…
When a crack appears on the surface, high-temperature magma is forced to gush out from the ground due to pressure.
When the restrained and suppressed existence underground gains an upward crack, the surrounding “magma” naturally flows towards it.
It is not only because this fragile “exit” hasn’t been completely sealed, but even if it were completely sealed, the pressure layer weaker than the surrounding area would naturally become the main outlet to bear pressure…
It’s just a matter of time before the original seal is burst again.
A large number of mutated underground creatures mixed with undead remains were vomited out by the earth and appeared in this fragile forest…
In a sense, this is the reason why the bloodvine flourishes and spreads, and the existence of the bloodvine forest restricts these demons to a certain extent.
As for the outsiders?
Those poor creatures?
They are half-dead with just the attention of some fighting aftermath.
However, compared to the real trouble and the second reason, these undead creatures and mutated demons are not real problems at all.
The deity’s whisper lingers in the forest, spreading emotions of anger, despair, and sorrow throughout the area.
When a Sleeper is slapped awake, they struggle to fall back asleep…
only to be disturbed again by the suddenly rising sun in the sky.
At that moment when they are half-awake and half-asleep, the newly-born Sun God and his too-dazzling light arrive.
The disgust and hatred for the “Sun God” finally awakens the sleeping monster…
the existence that was once called the Beast God.
