The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 261 - Land of Honor
Piao Qi's words were still echoing in his ears, the warning was completely distracting Xin Chen's mind even after the old man left. While he still sits at the same table as considering everything. Piao Qi's account of the Ghosts of YuangXe is probably just a bird news that is usually exaggerated because it is delivered by mouth.
However, one thing that had stuck in his heart was about the other black warriors who also left for YuangXe. If it is true that the YuangXe people keep their mouths shut and rarely communicate with outsiders, surely one of the tribes is a traitor. The leaking of information was due to the presence of an untrustworthy person.
And now somehow the YuangXe people can survive with the black warriors who must have surrounded their place.
'That thing should have guards, just like Huo Zhao who guarded the Blood Ghost Mask. But how could he keep something that had even been destroyed?'
Long immersed with his own thoughts Xin Chen did not get any answers at all. Between the two, if the heavenly heirloom has no occupants then it is clear that it can be used by everyone without exception. But if there is still a guardian spirit that protects the object, not just anyone can become its new master. It is certainly not well known to many people, they only know how to seize high-class goods that are now not targeted from all directions.
It sounded like something was sipping water quietly as Xin Chen thought. When he opened his eyes, Xin Chen immediately glared when he found Ye Long was drinking green tea that he did not touch at all. The black dragon grinned, biting the teacup and swallowed it.
"I haven't eaten"
"Hidden, lizard."
Ye Long obeyed what Xin Chen said just before the shopkeeper came in and realized some shattered tables were split apart by the tail of the dragon. He opened his mouth to blaspheme.
"Hi, what did you do to break up one of my places like this?"
"I'm indemnifying."
"Hais, stop. No need. I'm used to it too. Go before I change my mind."
Xin Chen stopped his steps before actually leaving the tavern, asking the tavern keeper. "You mean you're used to it?"
The man wiped the table with a look of annoyance, at first glance he caught a furious breath. "The warriors, who else. Just like you, the difference is that they are in groups and not like travelers. Take demons to cities and villages, like this one empire belongs to its ancestors!"
Xin Chen felt offended even though he was not the one the shopkeeper meant. Ye Long also likes to riot on city streets, likes to make grandmothers heart attacks and small children run. It was inconceivable that if the black dragon was destined to become a human, Xin Chen would not be able to serve it.
"so. If you can tell where they're going?"
"Where do I know!" the ketus man was still angry that his place had been vandalized, even so he kept looking back where Xin Chen was waiting for his answer.
"But they were discussing something like a Land of Honor or something! Already, quickly go. I want to clear this place up before a lot of visitors."
Xin Chen lowered his small head, moved towards a desolate place and flew with Ye Long towards the land referred to as the 'Land of Honor.
In the distance between the vast wilderness and the high mountains touching the clouds, a settlement that flowed by the river in the middle stood. Most are just plank houses and are equipped with gear to hunt animals. Xin Chen only watched him from above and never ordered Ye Long to go down to the mainland.
His eyes caught the silhouette of a determined man running towards the village, but had yet to touch the remaining YuangXe three hundred meters in front of him, a rope trap tying his legs. Making something interested and an arrow come off, piercing through his forehead mercilessly. There was no one there and the man died because of himself.
In the south direction the horse tread motorcade is ready to penetrate the land of YuangXe by relying on strong and resistant horses. The beast was also covered in armor that made them not easily killed by the attack of sharp weapons or arrows. But unfortunately, as Piao Qi said. Every inch of the ground was a trap. They did not realize that a strange fire lantern would be installed on the tree. Just as the ground shook violently, a spring was attracted and soared an arrow that pierced through the fire lantern.
The fire arrow was free-falling in the land of the horsemen, the leader did not feel so threatened because the fire arrow did not hit any of his men. That feeling of disdain turned out to plunge them to death.
The oil barrels exploded as the fire arrows burned the ground that had been soaked by the kerosene. Making large-scale explosions that break apart parts of the human and horse bodies. The forest burned that very second and Ye Long was made to not dwell on the defense strategy of the YuangXe people.
"They are completely untouched. What kind of people are they really?"
"Obviously they are very dangerous. Maybe our existence is already known to them. Lucky their arrows can't hurt us from up here."
"You don't intend to finish them off straight away?"
"No. Have you seen for yourself how their brains work? Killing them without getting any information was just a futile act. Without them for the rest of my life I wouldn't have gotten any information on the War God Armor, they hid it in their own way."
"Then we've been here all day? I haven't eaten since yesterday and kept flying until my two wings felt like they wanted to fall out."
"Ck, this rubber belly dragon. People are dying downstairs and you keep thinking about food. And again we haven't encountered the existence of that Ghost from YuangXe-"
Xin Chen flickered as something dazzled his eyes from below, an arrow that was half his body size was thrown and almost pierced Ye Long's heart. The young man noticed the groove of the arrow and that very second, when the arrow approached them something exploded and made Ye Long faint.
"Ye Long! Wake up!"
Ye Long free-falled down while Xin Chen used a spirit form. Down there deadly traps are waiting to take their lives. Ye Long will soon fall on a land not covered by a single tree. And that place must be the most dangerous, because he can be targeted from all sides.
Xin Chen was about to use spirit power to save Ye Long but hundreds of arrows chased after him from various directions. True to his guess, the YuangXe people knew of their whereabouts and immediately attacked.
Xin Chen had no problem if the arrow attacked him because it had no effect, it was a pity that the arrow was targeting Ye Long. Xin Chen had to stop the arrow immediately. Just as it was about to reach Ye Long, the dragon opened its eyes wide. Hiding his master inside his wings as he realized another arrow attack came with a greater amount.
The dragon fell to the ground, a huge explosion occurred and the fall of Ye Long's body activated all the traps that protected the land of YuangXe.
