Chapter 1856: 24.117 Sixth Violet Star - Ancient Forest Dwellers
The largest and main city under the human race’s territory is now in chaos with undeads spreading around causing death everywhere. The soldiers under the lead of the marshal, Long Tian, had focused on saving humans while protecting them from the undeads. Of course, they would kill an undead if they were attacked but they wouldn’t chase after those who run. They needed to evacuate more survivors before fighting back against these beings born from death itself.
The main city was on the verge of becoming the city of undeads just with the current situation alone. Long Tian still remained after the last car of survivors were sent away. This time the soldiers had gathered intending to start the clean up within the city.
Even though Long Tian wanted to focus on catching the mastermind, which is Pei Jin, he couldn’t leave the undead roaming around as they would pose great danger to the masses. Right now, they were hiding in a building while waiting for the reinforcement to come.
By the time the reinforcement came there were no more survivors in the city and they could focus on extermination. The mercenaries were led by Mu Liao while his recently healed father stayed at the Long Clan to protect the healing old marshal and the Long Clan. This time no one in Mu Clan needed his father’s protection as most of the young ones had moved to the Long Clan’s Territory to live.
They are all willing to protect the Long Clan with the Mu Patriarch. As for their young lord, Mu Liao, it’s better if he goes out to fight with the current marshal.
The Black Jaguar Beast King Xie Yun also appeared with Killer Pavilion’s Master, Xie Hei. After training with their real bodies and synchronizing with the soul contract they had signed together before, they can even use their original and their other half’s ability which made it easier for the two of them to fight.
The Killer Pavilion who had recently signed contracts with their beasts had also gathered to support the marshal from defeating the undeads.
Mu Liao said to Long Tian, "The Long Clan will be alright. My father chose to stay there to protect Uncle Long."
"That’s good I don’t have to worry about the house while fighting," Long Tian said.
Pavilion Master Xie Hei spoke, "These undeads are artificial made. Most of their deaths were through draining blood. It seems that the rumors about the Pei Clan’s Young Lord draining people’s blood for his beast."
{Master, when you hatch me did you use blood as well?}
Pavilion Master Xie Hei said, "Yes, but what I have used on you was bought blood from the blood bank and volunteer blood donation which I paid lots of money for. I wanted you to be registered as a legal beast. There is no way I would kill an innocent one to hatch you."
"Moreover, as a demonic beast you’ve never asked for fresh blood. As long as it’s blood you are alright with drinking both human and ordinary animal’s blood. You are quite easy to take care of. I just need to burn money to get your food."
"However, the demonic beast egg in that Pei Young Lord’s possession seems to be a high class evil beast. The kind that only drinks fresh human blood and likes fresher ones that come from young children and women."
Everyone frowned when they heard Pavilion Master Xie Hei’s words. Though it was scary to rear a demonic beast, isn’t it just a beast that feeds on blood. As long as it wasn’t picky any kind of blood can be given.
Long Tian asked, "Pavilion Master Xie, have you always heard Xie Yun’s voice even before he hatches?"
"Yes. That is only because an elder from my family forced a soul contract between us too which is unfair to Yun’er. I used to be sickly when I was young and was told I can only live up to 18 years old."
"To save me, an elder from my family used a forbidden contract, the Soul Contract. By signing all a soul contract everything can be shared between two the beast and his master. This includes the ability, health, and lifespan. Even bloodlines were shared."
"My human bloodline gave Yun’er intelligence while his demonic bloodline gave my longer lifespan." Xie Hei explained.
{Oh~ that’s why I was able to speak after we ate each other’s blood. That time I actually heard a voice asking me if I am willing to tie my life with my master and I said yes!} Xie Yun said.
Pavilion Master Xie Hei smiled and gently patted the head of the big black jaguar and said, "Yes, it was thanks to Yun’er accepting me that I have survived till now."
Everyone who was hearing this conversation felt that the contract is such a good thing.
Mu Liao said, "Such a good thing. Why didn’t you share it with the country?"
The gentle smile on Xie Hei’s face disappeared and said, "If it was truly such a good thing, why do you think the Xie Clan only have me and Yun’er left?"
"It was a contract you can only sign with one beast in your life. Signing it with others will result in death. Moreover, the beast must be willing to be tied to you all his life. That is no different than being lovers for a lifetime. No beast other than Yun’er in my Xie Clan was willing and everyone died in just a night."
"Would you like to try it?" Xie Hei asked.
Everyone all shook their heads after hearing such a story. It’s not a story how the Xie Clan, a former noble family, fell after the unknown deaths within the family and it was that only the sickly young master, Xie He had survived and created the Killer Pavilion after he had become an adult. It seems that the deaths of the Xie Clan members were due to the Soul Contract which backlashed leading to multiple deaths.
The current Marshal, Long Tian said, "Enough with conversation. Let’s plan how to eliminate all the undead in the main city."
"It is better to split up in four teams and go cover the four directions for overall clean up," said Mu Liao.
Xie Hei said, "I have no worries about cleaning up. The race in the Ancient Forest is willing to lend a hand. If you are willing we can convey your message, It’s better if you find the mastermind instead. The problem is whether you can defeat them or not."
"It’s worth a try." Long Tian said. "The people in the Ancient Forest are willing to help. Is it the former Elf King?"
{No. It’s the Ninetailed Fox Beastman Leader. They said the scent of the undead is almost making their nose rot.} Xie Yun said.
Xie Hei said, "The sense of smell of the beastmen is ten times that of a human. They might feel that the city is no different than a garbage dump with the scent of blood and death like this."
"Are those two... The two esteemed young beast kings coming?" Long Tian asked. Ever since he learned about the existence of the God of Destruction and the Sovereign god of Void and Darkness, he had been wanting to see them.
Xie Hei shook his head and said, "No. Lord Hei seems to be a clean freak. He might destroy this city if he comes over. If Lord Hei is not coming the possibility of Lord Ye coming is lower than 1%, unless he has another business he will not come over."
He can still recall how much he was rubbed in the river while bathing with that stupid flood dragon. The two of them were rubbing through that he had almost lost his fur and that stupid snake lost half of his scales.
Xie Yun added, {The Beast God would come though since his mate is coming.}
Everyone suddenly turned quiet. Now they not only have to meet the leader of the beastmen race, there is even a beast god as a mate coming to work with his wife. No wonder the two children born from them were not heavenly defying.
Long Tian thought for a moment and said, "Leave people here to watch the undead’s movements. Come with me to meet the esteemed guests."
The soldiers followed the orders, Mu Liao, Xie Hei and Xie Yu did the same thing and left with the Marshal. Xie Yun led them to the wooden wall tainted by black blood. They saw a group of undead trying to enter the ancient forest only to be pierced and crushed by the moving wooden walls.
Xie Yun knocked on the wooden wall and shouted, "Vega, we are here!!!"
The shout called upon the undeads nearby gathering to attack them before they could move a silver slashes fly past them cutting the undeads into pieces. They were preoccupied by the undead and didn’t even notice when the wooden walls had parted, revealing a group of beastmen with Huzi and Mo Minkong in lead. The former elf king Vega was also with them but he seems to be staying to protect the forest while his brother-in-laws come out.
Mo Minkong said, "Vega protects the forest if something slips in."
"Leave it to me, Brother Mo," The former elf king, Vega said.
Huzi approached the human with his silver fox ears and ninetails swaying on his back. He looked indifferent yet seductive. Fox type beastmen were the most beautiful of their kind especially for a mythical race like the Ninetailed foxes which is said to be messengers of the beast god.
"Nice meeting everyone. I am Huzi, the leader of the beastmen race."
