Guixu Immortal Kingdom

Chapter 100 Prey
[At the beginning of the month, I'm asking for a guaranteed monthly vote. Let's keep pushing forward, brothers.]

"Long legs, lean body, triangular face, long arms that reach the heels and are as long as the body, dark blue skin, and a tail. What kind of race is this?"

Upon emerging, they discovered a foreign race residing nearby.

That appearance was so striking that it instilled a sense of awe and made one wary, daring not to underestimate it in the slightest.

These alien races, any one of them, are at least 1.8 or 1.9 meters tall. The tallest are easily over two meters. They exude an aura of agility and skill, clearly a race adept at combat. They are definitely not weaklings.

"So this is a foreign race? There is no corresponding record of it in the Classic of Mountains and Seas."

Lin Jiu frowned, his mind flashing through various classic texts, but none of them could match the alien race before him.

"This is the Ruins of Return. All the races in the heavens come from the myriad worlds. Different races may be born in each world. Moreover, it is common for mutations to occur when entering the Ruins of Return. No one knows exactly how many races are in the Ruins of Return. Perhaps new races emerge every day and old races perish. It is quite easy to perish in the Ruins of Return."

Ji Tianhao said calmly.

In the terrifying environment and rules of the Ruins of Return, it is difficult to survive, but it is easy to seek death.

It is perfectly normal for all the myriad races in the heavens to become each other's prey.

He didn't care what race his opponent was; as long as they didn't provoke him, that was fine. If they did, then they could test the sharpness of their blades and their resilience. Everything would be decided by strength.

Under their gaze, the group of aliens numbered about a hundred and had set up camp.

This alien race is called the Mantis Spirit Clan. It is said that they evolved from mantises, though they are not merely mantises. Their bloodline has long since mutated, forming a completely new race. This race is renowned for its extremely long arms and incredible speed, especially its mastery of swords. Their bloodline inherently contains a talent for the way of the sword. Anyone who cultivates the way of the sword can be considered a genius.

The Mantis Spirits are a natural hunter race, possessing absolute talent in combat.

This branch of the Manticores also came here after discovering the arrival of the Initial Land during their migration. Their reasons were twofold: firstly, they wanted to see if they could replenish their scarce resources in the Initial Land; secondly, they hoped to find miracle chests or other treasures there.

Furthermore, the initial location is safe enough to withstand natural disasters and remain unaffected by them.

Their leader is named Mantis Dragon, a name derived from his hunting of a dragon beast.

At this moment, they also saw the Baxia Dragon Lord emerging from the initial land, and even saw the sand house on the back of the Dragon Lord, as well as Ji Tianhao and the others standing on the balcony of the sand house.

"Chief, they're human. They came out of the Primordial Land, so they must have gained something there. They might even have gotten the Miracle Chest. Should we make a move?"

A Manticore warrior stood beside the Manticore Dragon and asked.

Although they were eyeing Ji Tianhao and his group with predatory intent, their fear upon seeing the colossal Baxia Dragon Lord was quite evident. After all, this was an extremely terrifying behemoth, clearly not just a decoration.

It is, in fact, a clear deterrent.

"This behemoth is not easy to deal with. Let's observe it first and send other forces to probe. I think those brainless goblins are probably eyeing this group of humans."

The dragon's eyes gleamed with a strange light, and its gaze upon Baxia Dragon Lord was tinged with apprehension.

He certainly didn't think that this behemoth was just a decoration.

This definitely possesses combat power, and not just any ordinary combat power.

The larger the body, the greater the strength. The body is power; this is not just an empty phrase.

Such a target is not one to be trifled with. He is not truly without brains, but he has no intention of leading his people to their doom. What he wants is for his people to survive, find a place where they can live, take root, and multiply.

It's better to let someone else test the waters with this obviously dangerous target.

If you really can't afford to offend them, then stay away. If you can afford to offend them, then that's a different story.

Moreover, he had just seen the goblins stationed nearby, who clearly had special intentions towards these humans and would not let them go.

Goblins can be truly stupid, but they can also be truly brave.

No matter how powerful the enemy, they dare to challenge it. If they feel they can't win and suffer more than half their casualties, they'll choose to run away. In any case, morale is of little use to goblins.

To the strong, goblins are an extremely disgusting race.

"Go, get out of here."

Ji Tianhao did not make the Dragon Lord stop.

With a body already reaching a radius of 21 meters, it is a colossal creature wherever it goes. Baxia's four limbs are thick and huge. Under the passive influence of the earth's vein power, it took a step forward without making much noise. Each step covered several meters.

"The surrounding alien races don't seem to have any intention of making a move. It seems that the Dragon Lord's deterrent power has greatly increased."

Qi Lin chuckled, puffing on his tobacco with relish. They hadn't found any tobacco in Tengteng Town this time, and their food supplies were running low. They had to be very careful with their intake, only taking a few puffs each day, hoping to find new tobacco soon. "That's hard to say," Qi Lin continued. "I just saw those disgusting goblins, sneaking around and following us. I have a feeling they won't give up easily and will definitely find a chance to attack."

Hu Youni looked disgusted.

I have absolutely no liking for those green guys.

"It's good that they've come. If they dare to cause trouble, then let's send them on their final journey. I hate trouble, but I'm not afraid of it. Solve the trouble, and there will be no more trouble."

Ji Tianhao said with a smile that he had long since discovered that the goblins were secretly following him.

Goblins want to feed on them and steal their treasures, and he still craves these goblins. Even dead goblins, though still disgusting, can be refined into life essence. This life essence is the best spoils of war; you can never have too much of it.

"Be prepared, we are itinerant merchants, a good merchant must be able to hurt people when necessary."

Ji Tianhao began to give instructions.

In any case, goblins are not truly invincible enemies. As Baxia Dragon Lord grows stronger, his confidence is quite substantial.

"Hehe, don't worry, it's all ready."

Qi Lin tossed his head, ran his hand over his hair, revealing a shiny, oily sheen, and exuded confidence.

"I have never killed such a foreign race before. With my ancestor above, I, Lin Jiu, must also bring glory to my Maoshan."

Lin Jiu, dressed in a Taoist robe, had a look of anticipation on his face.

This experience was unlike anything he had ever felt before; a long-lost sense of anticipation returned to his life. Moreover, he had awakened a talent, a talent perfectly suited to him. If a fight were to break out, he felt he could be of help.

It's a good opportunity to showcase my own strength.

"It's not just a goblin following us; look in the sky, there are eyes watching us."

Su Yue glanced at the sky, where a black dot was circling continuously. It was a vulture, staring at her with its cold, sharp eyes.

“That’s normal. We came from the original land, and now we’ve become a piece of meat in the eyes of other forces. The benefits are too great. Even the Dragon Lord’s physique can’t intimidate everyone. As soon as we show the slightest weakness, they will pounce on us like hungry wolves.”

Ji Tianhao glanced at it and said calmly.

Regardless, he only has one way to deal with it.

With good intentions, he is a businessman; with malice, he is a man who hurts.

"If we really want to make a move, it probably won't be that quick. This area is still within the initial zone, and there are many hidden forces around. Even the most brainless person wouldn't make a move nearby to avoid being taken advantage of by other forces. We need to be careful not to lose track of those behind us."

Ji Tianhao calmly glanced around.

The Dragon King's pace slowed considerably, and he made no attempt to speed up or shake off the watchful eyes and pursuers around him.

This keeps the speed within a certain range, ensuring that those following behind have ample time to catch up.

Soon, the Dragon Lord had stepped out of the initial area and once again felt the power of the Calamity Moon from the Ruins of Return. Yellow sand was flying wildly in the sky, and on the dunes, one could see white bones, some old, but more fresh.

After leaving the initial area, the Dragon Lord stopped directly on a sand dune.

The sand dunes are not high, only a few dozen meters high, and the slope is not steep. Standing on them, one can overlook the surrounding area. This position directly occupies the most advantageous combat position. No matter where the attack is launched, it can be seen directly. Looking around, one can see everything at a glance.

Standing on the sand dune, they could see that from behind a nearby dune, green figures kept emerging. In the blink of an eye, their numbers reached several hundred. Each of them was carrying various weapons, and their eyes were glowing green as they looked at Ji Tianhao and his group. They were drooling, and it was utterly disgusting.

"These green-skinned dwarfs are really disgusting."

Hu Youni looked at the goblins with a look of disgust.

It's disgusting no matter how you look at it.

"What it is."

Just then, Qi Lin pointed to the opposite side with a strange expression.

All I could see was that the goblins had somehow carried a strange object up the sand dune.

The item, in general, was a square trampoline. The main frame on all four sides was made of an indistinguishable material, and the middle was a fine net woven from a black, bandage-like material. Its shape was not much different from a regular trampoline; the only difference was the material.
