552 Into the Heartland(1/2)
Because information needs to be passed up through the layers, Yang Xi's delivery to Norton was delayed.
Moreover, he also stated in the intelligence that it was Lord Storm who informed Norton.
This is naturally to have one more person to bear the wrath of the Red Emperor.
To be honest, Norton was a little confused when he received this information.
His relationship with Lord Storm was not harmonious. Because of his relationship with his wife, Justice Panis, the two would quarrel almost every time they met.
It would be nice not to cause trouble behind his back. He didn't quite believe that Lord Storm would inform him specifically after discovering the Earth's Soul Spring?
Norton put the information on the table and rubbed his brows tiredly.
"Do you want to repair the relationship with me? Or do you have other intentions?"
In Orsaid culture, it is not unethical to pursue a married woman.
Once the Lord of Storms raises a challenge, Norton, as the husband, must respond.
For example, take off your white gloves and throw them on his face.
However, due to strong opposition from Justice Panis and a group of high-level organizations in the Hundred Cities Federation, their duel has been put on hold.
But Lord Storm had to leave the core area of the Hundred Cities Federation and live in seclusion in the coastal areas.
"That's all, after all, it's about the spiritual spring of the place, so it's worth the trip."
Norton rushed to Guangming City alone without alerting anyone.
He arrived one day later than the president of the mercenary union.
Yang Xi also used the Hundred Cities Federation method to leave marks along the way, so that the powerful man who broke out the secret would not be lost.
…
Three days have passed since Yang Xi and the four of them wandered around on the sea.
With the speed of these fourth-level experts, they should have found the location of the Earth's Soul Spring long ago.
But unexpectedly, the location of this earth's spiritual spring seems to be constantly changing.
Sometimes heading east, sometimes south, and once even near the island chain of the Sea of Chaos.
Yang Xi was planning to take action directly at that moment.
Fortunately, the spiritual spring here is very "interesting", and it seems to be teasing them, and it has begun to move to the southern continent.
"Red Emperor, is this secret technique of yours fake? It was fine the first two days. It kept pointing in one direction. Why is it changing now?"
Yang Xi complained a few words.
The Red Emperor is also a little strange, but although this situation is rare, it is not unheard of.
"According to the recorded information, there are several earthly soul springs in several planes that will indeed constantly move their positions to prevent being discovered. It's just a matter of staying calm and calm. It just takes a little more effort."
He was not in a hurry, because the color of the arrow on the head of the Chaos Sea Lord was gradually getting darker, which meant that the distance between them and the Earth's Soul Spring was constantly decreasing.
There is no mistake in strategy, just proceed step by step.
Lord Storm is actually happy with this. The longer the delay is, the more his injuries will recover, and the more beneficial it will be for him.
For some reason, he had a premonition that something unexpected would happen after he found the terrain spiritual spring.
"I hope this is my imagination."
Lord Storm murmured, rushed forward, and caught the Lord of Chaotic Sea.
Because the latter wanted to perform a secret technique, the three of them took turns leading him along the way.
Although the Lord of Chaos Sea didn't want to be carried up in such shame, in order to save more energy, he closed his eyes and recognized it.
…
City of Bones.
There is more and more floating ash in the sky over this city. Just a touch of it on the ground can get a handful of white substance stuck to it.
The expressions on the faces of the two warriors wearing large uniforms were almost numb.
As time went by, they basically guessed 70% to 80% of what happened in the Skeleton City.
But they could only watch everything happen, and even had to stand here and become accomplices.
"This kind of thing, to use the indigenous saying, is harmful to the harmony of heaven and earth!"
As Orsiders born on the Blue Star, they have complicated feelings towards the natives of this plane.
When they were children, they did not understand the differences between races.
In my own castle, there are always several human friends of similar ages playing together.
Unfortunately, as age increases, differences in race and class will cleanly shatter these fragile friendships.
But even so, this experience also left a seed called "empathy" in the hearts of these Orsiders who were born in another plane.
There is still an essential difference between them and those pure colonists from the Oside plane.
Plop——
A dirty girl fell to the ground. The long journey had overwhelmed her already skinny body. If she did not replenish food and water, she would die soon.
Among the human slaves traveling with her, except for an old woman who knelt down to care for her, the others just avoided the girl who fell to the ground and continued to move forward numbly.
"Step aside."
The cold voice of the Orsaid soldiers sounded.
The old woman was startled, without the slightest thought of resisting, and stepped aside - being able to stay there was already her greatest courage.
The Orsaid man knelt down and checked the condition of the slave girl.
"Bring some water."
He said to his companions.
Another Ossaid man shook his head helplessly and threw his kettle over.
"Why are you doing this? It will happen sooner or later."
The crouching Orside soldier silently opened the kettle and carefully brought it to the girl's side.
The moisture slowly soaked into the girl's chapped lips, and she began to swallow instinctively.
The expressions of the Orside soldiers were still extremely cold.
"If I don't do something, I will go crazy."
He looked at the dark crowd and felt suffocated.
"You stay and take care of her until she wakes up before leaving."
The Orsaid soldiers picked up the girl and placed her under the shed built next to the sentry box.
The old woman looked at the Orside soldiers with some confusion. This was the most "kind" Orside man she had ever encountered. At least they didn't use a whip to wake up the unconscious girl.
"Why, don't you want to?"
Hearing the impatience in the other party's tone, the old woman quickly took three steps at a time and stood quietly beside the girl.
In fact, she has no blood relationship with this girl, they just chatted a few times on the road.
However, she instinctively felt repelled by the final destination, so it was good to be able to stay outside the city for a while longer.
"You, you."
Another Ossaid patted his companion on the shoulder and finally acquiesced to his decision.
Maybe, everyone wants to have peace of mind.
…
Bernadotte Imperial Capital.
The Bone Emperor drove away the singer, and he and Emperor Lan were the only ones left in the huge palace.
"The third brother has been out for so long, and he hasn't even received a reply, and he doesn't know what he is doing."
There was no worry in the Bone Emperor's tone, after all, his brother's strength was not weak.
Lan Di smiled and said: "I just received information that my third brother has appeared in Guangming City. He really likes to play, but at this juncture, he hasn't come back yet."
The Bone Emperor waved his hands and said: "This kid doesn't know what he is tinkering with. We followed his plan and implemented things step by step, but the initiator of his plan was not present. It's really nerve-wracking!
"
"Don't worry, brother. Although I don't agree with the third brother's plan, since it has been implemented, we can only complete it. Otherwise, all the previous work will be in vain."
"Oh, in order to break through to the fifth level, I had to take this trick. One drink and one peck, the gain and loss are incalculable!"
It seems that the closer to the point of breaking through to the fifth level, the Bone Emperor, a super strong man at the peak of the fourth level, becomes more and more worried about gains and losses.
Lan Di drank all the wine and comforted his eldest brother: "Breaking through the fifth level is a good thing after all. The days of the three of us brothers on the blue star plane are coming to an end."
"Brother, you must not have this kind of mentality. Most people will never encounter the hurdle from level 4 to level 5 in their lifetime. Since you have reached this point, you must continue on without hesitation!"
To be continued...
