This scene is well set up, but isn’t it a bit too much? Using Human Bones to illustrate how many people died here?
"Boss, look over there!" One Blade 999 exclaid, pointing at the Blood-colored Pond Water.
Everyone looked up. In the Pond Water, they saw a figure enveloped in mist, wielding a sword and chasing a group of Water Demon Race mbers, hacking away at them. It looked like he was about to reach the Opposite Shore.
What a guy. Whose subordinate is this, to be so brave?
A gasp of recognition went through the group. "King of Spraying King Pen Duanchang!"
Steady as an Old Dog stared at the figure and said solemnly, "The Top Player of the Fourth Test. He hasn’t joined any Hall; he’s completely a Wanderer!"
HISS—To think a single person dares to co to the Demon Race Territory to kill? And he has already hacked his way from this side to the other; isn’t that even fiercer than the Sword Team of Cloud Lant Hall? Truly worthy of being the Top Player of the Fourth Test, his Power is indeed formidable.
"That mber of the Human Race is incredibly strong! Do you know him? Is he also one of the villainous Human Race?" Lucifer-Glaze asked a rapid string of questions.
Dung Beetle hesitated for a mont, then nodded. "We know him, but he’s probably not a villain."
"Then can I befriend him?" Lucifer-Glaze asked eagerly, her face alight with anticipation. It seed as though befriending mbers of the Human Race was her lifelong dream.
Dung Beetle gently shook his head. This lunatic clearly isn’t right in the head; he’s obviously not an easy person to get along with. If you try to befriend him, he might just chop you down the next mont.
"This person isn’t bad, but he’s very dangerous," Dung Beetle fabricated. "He harbors a great hatred for the Demon Race! Don’t get close to him, or he’ll hurt you."
These words puzzled Lucifer-Glaze. Why would that person want to hurt her? She didn’t even seem to know him, nor had she said anything wrong.
However, since Dung Beetle had warned her not to get close to the man, she decided it would be best to keep her distance. Compared to other mbers of the Human Race, she trusted the few around her more.
"It’s over," Steady as an Old Dog murmured, watching King of Spraying King Pen Duanchang erge on the Opposite Shore and then continue deeper into the territory.
"A single person demolished the Water Demon Race’s stronghold. This guy really isn’t afraid of death," one of the others remarked.
"Afraid? His Eight Gates Escape Armor seems to be at a higher level than mine. Perhaps he also wants to follow Old Mo’s Extre Path."
"The Eight Gates Escape Armor is too demanding on the body. Initially, Old Mo had to crazily bulk up his stats to achieve his current skills. For him, as a Fourth Test Player, trying to catch up to Old Mo now is probably impossible."
"This person is definitely a strong opponent. It’s better not to provoke him if we encounter him in the future!"
"..."
The group watched the figure disappear, a wave of complex emotions washing over them. They were players too, and had even arrived a bit earlier than him, but so what? He still played it much smoother than them. One man, one sword, and he had directly toppled a Demon Race Territory. True, the real masters of the Water Demon Race weren’t present, but with such a large Blood-colored Pool, there should still have been quite a few clan mbers inside, right? To think he had single-handedly cleared them all out. This Fourth Test Player was truly sothing else.
Lucifer-Glaze turned and asked, "Are you also going to kill the villainous Demon Race mbers like that? Although I know I shouldn’t say this, seeing the Young Demons of the Water Demon Race being killed makes feel really upset."
Upon hearing this, Dung Beetle and the others exchanged glances. This was their Task, and also their chance to earn Contribution Points. If they didn’t act to influence the Eastern Region, the Cultivators of the Southern Continent would be under imnse pressure. Logically and emotionally, they had to make a move. It could only be said that they and Lucifer-Glaze simply stood on different sides.
"If you want to resolve this situation, it would require your Father Emperor to order a halt to the attacks on the Human Race," Dung Beetle sighed. "But things have already reached this stage. I doubt that even if your side stops, the Cultivators from the Southern Continent will let the Demon Race go."
His words were straightforward, and Lucifer-Glaze understood them imdiately. However, she fell into a rare silence.
For so reason, she didn’t want to see the Human Race killing the Demon Race, nor did she want the Demon Race to clash with the Human Race. But the situation had already escalated to this point. Even if her Father Emperor ordered the other Demon Race mbers to cease their actions, would the Human Race just let it go? There was truly no way out of this.
"I want to go back," Lucifer-Glaze said, sowhat dejectedly. "There must be a way to resolve this. I need to find a way to make the Human Race and the Demon Race stop fighting."
Stop now? Was that even possible?
Dung Beetle glanced at her but ultimately kept his thoughts to himself. They had their own Task; taking action was inevitable.
"Alright then, we’ll escort you back," Dung Beetle sighed. "It’s not safe for you to go back alone."
If Lucifer-Glaze went back alone, what if she encountered so Beast Players on the way? Especially soone like the Top Archer in the National Server. He might just drag her off into the Wilderness to ’play’. As ’exciting’ as that prospect might be for such a player, they fervently hoped such a fate would befall soone else. Lucifer-Glaze... she was a mber of the Demon Race who made them lose any will to kill, even stirring a profound desire to protect her. A mber of the Demon Race like her absolutely could not be hard or defiled by those players.
"Then I’ll have to trouble you," Lucifer-Glaze said softly. "Rember to contact after you get back, otherwise I’ll be very bored alone."
"Of course! We’re Friends, after all!" Dung Beetle smiled. Then, he and the Ao Xiang Squad escorted her away.
