…
Witnessing Leylin’s powers with their own eyes, Ian and Ben were secretly scared and somehow could hardly accept this for the moment.
After all, in the Merchant Union, Leylin was just a talented offspring and a member of Lenoir Family who’s strength mainly stems from the Lenoir family and later the Alaister Family.
Suddenly, the situation had changed significantly. They naturally felt a bit strange. Both of them hesitated but didn’t say anything. They just reluctantly let out a sigh and finally accepted the truth as well.
“Those beasts are waiting for flames and lightning to overflow from the Four Symbols mountains. They want to wait for those dangers to come and then take actions altogether.” Leylin was standing next to them, carefully observing the changes, on the edge of the ancient city.
“The flames, lightning, tornados, and ice don’t seem to be aimed at the beasts. Look!” Suddenly a terrified voice sounded.
After hearing that, everyone looked toward the outskirts of the ancient city.
Indeed.
Those dangers from the four mountains gradually enveloped and began to ravage the ancient city.
However, the beasts were still safe under the dangers of flames, lightning, tornados, and ice. Those threats could severely injure none of the beasts.
Those dangers couldn’t even shake the beasts’ bodies, but on the contrary, they seemed to enhance their power.
After some human warriors had been shrouded by the flames, lightning, tornados, and ice, they were either burned up by the flames or frozen by the ice and then blown away by the storm.
While the beasts were unharmed, human warriors seemed to be unable to bear those dangers. The human warriors let out ear-splitting screams and quickly avoided the severe weather in panic when those dangers were gradually approaching.
Seeing the situation was not going well, the warriors in the peripheral fortressed all ran out of those stone fortresses and rushed toward the center of the ancient city.
The flames, tornados, lightning, and ice slowly approached the ancient city. The center of the city would be the last area to be affected. Thus, moving toward the center of the ancient city would allow them to encounter those disasters much later. Although they were not sure doing this would help them escape from this fatal incident or not, it still helped them delay the time of encountering those disasters and delay their deaths.
Therefore, those warriors outside, who were under the chase and slaughter of the beasts, were desperately running toward the center of the ancient city.
Hundreds of figures were speeding on the streets of the ancient city. They didn’t dare to fight against the beasts, but instead, quickly moved toward the center of the ancient city.
“Hm.. ” Everyone was looking at those warriors bitterly fighting and running for their life when suddenly Leylin attention was directed somewhere else, as he suddenly looked at the two rivers in the sky.
Changes started to suddenly appear in the two rivers that were interweaving and hanging in the sky.
The weaving point of the two rivers discharged beautiful, dazzling lights, as an extremely violent energy suddenly spread out from that point.
In the middle of those blazing lights, ancient corpses sank into the flashing lights and were pulled up and down by the river. The river seemed to contain some secret treasures, which were vaguely visible and were moving towards that weaving point for convergence.
“CRASH!”
Silver raindrops drizzled down, and the light rain quickly turned into a downpour. The silver shower net came down from the sky, collecting in a shallow lake in the center of the ancient city.
That small lake was originally dry. However, after that silver rain, it immediately became moist; and in a short time, the lake had accumulated a few centimeters of water.
The silver lake emitted drizzling silver lights, covering the entire sky.
When the silver raindrops touched those beasts that were near the lake, they all screamed miserably and turned into diluted blood within seconds.
However, human warriors who gathered there were unharmed when the splashing raindrops touched them.
The silver raindrops from the sky seemed to aim for the beasts, while they caused no damage to the human warriors.
This mutation made those warriors extremely overjoyed. The warriors who were still wandering around rushed into the lake quickly, and were shrouded by the silver halo.
Some beasts came close to the small lake, but could only stare at those warriors with eyes filled with hatred, not daring to jump into the lake or approach that silver halo. They seemed to know that those silver lights were only meant to harm them. Hence, they only stayed in the periphery area of the lake, fiercely looking at those human warriors.
All warriors were moving and gathering towards the center of the ancient city. After realizing the lake’s abnormality, they were all excited and rushed towards the lake.
Anyone could see that other areas of the ancient city were not safe. Only the lake area in the center of the city could prevent the beasts’ attack.
“What a cruel cut throat competition.” Leylin shook his head as he looked at the extremely small lake area which can only able to house limited warriors while there were hundreds of them. There is bound to be an extremely deadly confrontation not only between men and beasts but also men and men to choose the fittest survivors.
Leylin could only shake his head over the situation as he spoke nodding towards the lake area, “Go over there!”
Neelam and others looked excited as they could now see hope. They hurriedly rushed out of the stone castle. Ben Parks, who was in the Sky Realm, suspended next to Leylin and shouted, “We must hurry. If too many beasts gather around us, we won’t be able to pass through them.”
“Go and carry those two towards that area, I’ll cover your back.” Leylin commanded Ben, Ben was the only one among them who was at Sky Realm and could fly freely carrying those two with him.
“Are you sure?”
Leylin glanced at Ben and swinged his hand suddenly moving the Gravitational Fields, the three Gravitational Fields now looked like crazy meat blenders, reverberating with ear-piercing sounds.
The three Gravitational Fields immediately changed directions, moving towards the beasts which were wandering and approaching the group of Ian and Neelam, creating a road leading straight to the center of the ancient city.
“Don’t waste time, just go.”
Neelam’s group didn’t dare to hesitate and immediately sped up, moving towards the center of the ancient city.
Leylin walked around leisurely without any hurry, his eyes were cold and playful while he revealed a sneer. He used his mind to control the Gravitational Fields, clearing the road for the people and beasts alike.
Three Gravitational Fields floated around Neelam’s group, preventing the beasts from coming closer. With these three Gravitational Fields, they didn’t have to be scared of the beasts which were now on their sides or behind them. They just rushed forward all the way.
Leylin strolled with his hand behind his back and when those three left, he then once again triggered his mind, ordering the three Gravitational Fields to gather in one place, forming an enormous, gray tornado.
After the integration of the three Gravitational Fields, this gray tornado was indeed obscure, and almost comparable to the one-hundred-meters high castle.
More than ten sturdy beasts saw the people of Neelam group fly away and then suddenly made their way to Leylin, staring at him.
Seeing the beasts coming toward him aggressively, he remained calm.
Leylin just walked straight into the Gravitational Field, the beasts didn’t dare to come close, but just stared from a distance.
This gray tornado monopolized the whole area behind Neelam’s group. The beasts that wanted to pass through the tornado were forced to take a detour.
While they were detouring, Leylin threw a bunch of spells around. The spell’s power bombed out of his hands. It created huge bombardment and hit those beasts, making them wobble and stagger.
Having built the Gravitational Field, he naturally couldn’t suffer from its strangling force.
Ben and the others sprinted in the air. They instantly avoided the beasts as soon as they came close. In case they really couldn’t avoid the beasts, out of nowhere a spell from Leylin would attack and push the beasts to the side.
Leylin couldn’t help but let out a yawn gazing at the pandemonium around him. Nothing around him is a threat for Leylin and as such he didn’t put anybody in his eyes.
Obviously Leylin isn’t stupid let his guard down and be suckered punch by any surprises but anything extraordinarily threatening is extremely unlikely to happen.
Once Leylin met a few of his acquaintances from the past, he was reminded of the years he had spent in this world and how much progression he has made so far, it’s truly been very adventurous, exciting and also a bit lonely.
Leylin didn’t feel that saving them or helping them was any hassle instead he found them a bit amusing hence decided to protect them for the meantime until unless something that can prove to be dangerous for him happens.
In such a situation, Leylin can only say sorry and think about himself before their lives.
The beasts rushed over from the four surrounding mountains. Most of them were in the periphery area of the ancient city. On the contrary, there were much fewer beasts in the area near the center of the city.
In the center of the ancient city, the warriors who were hiding in the small, silver lake had beheaded some beasts, helping reduce their number.
Therefore, the closer they got to the center of the ancient city, the fewer beasts they had to face. Thus, it was naturally quite safe.
On the contrary, outside the city center, as more and more beasts hustled over, those warriors who hadn’t realized the situation, were quickly submerged under the beast wave and bitten into pieces.
The Gravitational Field flew around at a moderate speed. Along the way, Leylin continuously looked around, he snatched and absorbed mysterious force from the warriors who had been killed recently.
Dozens of dead warriors’ corpses were tied up at the same places as their profound qi was harvested by Leylin. Although the amount wasn’t much to the current Leylin it was still a free meal and Leylin wouldn’t reject it.
Suddenly, changes started to happen in the small, silver lake in the center of the ancient city again.
The small lake was only ten square meters, which was not large and only was able to accommodate a few warriors.
The warriors who got into that lake were enjoying their peaceful time without being worried about the beasts’ attacks. Thus, they obviously didn’t want to leave.
However, warriors who rushed into the center of the city after having gone through many dangers also wanted to jump into the lake.
With that modest area, it was not enough for all the warriors. The newly arrived warriors could only occupy the position of others if they wanted to get into the lake, or else, they would be left outside.
At this time, hundreds of beasts were starting to gather in the center of the ancient city. Once all those beasts made it to the center, they would absolutely exterminate warriors who were left outside of the lake.
By that time, those warriors who stayed outside of the lake would be torn down to pieces and wouldn’t be able to escape.
Therefore, in order to occupy the positions in the lake, the warriors began to fight with each other for their own lives. Hence, those warriors recklessly rushed into the lake.
The strange thing was that warriors couldn’t fly above the lake, even if they were Sky Realm warriors. They couldn’t just hang around above the lake and enjoy that silver halo.
Everyone who wanted to get into the lake to avoid the flood of beasts’ attacks would inevitably have to fight.
This was the human warrior-led battle, and even more cruel than the one with the beasts. Leylin saw the area as many secret treasures were rampaging. Brilliant lights splashed out everywhere; all kinds of ice and lightning were constantly bursting out.
Suddenly, two messages were transmitted out from the Blood Vein Ring, “Can you let us out?”
The messages came from the Ice Cold Flame and the Earth Flame. These two Heaven Flames were moving and swaying inside the Blood Vein Ring as they seemed to spot some potential benefits.
“I can let Earth Flame out but I can’t trust you enough. And tell me yourself, do you think whatever opportunity is there, can it be better than nourishing force?”
“But.. ”
“Just be obedient and follow me, I can provide you as much nourishing force you want. Of course you would have to earn that yourself.”
“Now shush, it’s getting kinda dramatic here. This place is a blacksmith formation grandmaster creation, maybe there is some inheritance here. Simple Sacred Level weapons aren’t appealing enough for me, but anything like the inheritance of such a warrior is also quite enticing to me.”
“God give strength to your enemies.”
“Hahaha… I doubt any God has the guts to bet against me.”
