Bab 36: Crisis

Editor: Hitesh_

"Ha! Hehe..."

"Yo hohoho!"

"Ho ho! Ho!"

Seeing Ji Ying and Ji Lang lying on the ground as they tried to struggle back up with faces covered in blood, all of the Savages who were badly frightened by Ji Hao's slaughter and dumbstruck by the death of their leader, started shouting and jumping for joy.

Due to the generally low intelligence of these Savages, their behaviour was completely animal-like. Once their leader was defeated, they would turn and flee right away. But if their leader gained the upper hand in a battle, they would become the most ferocious warriors and tear every single enemy into pieces!

The terrifying enemies that just killed their leader had been knocked down by their honoured guests, granting boundless courage to these scattered Savages who were just about to run. They picked up their weapons before turning around then glaring at Ji Hao and the Cold Stream Valley behind him while shouting and clamouring.

"Human! A lot of humans! Meat! Delicious meat!"

"Olds, chewy! Youngs, tasty!"

"And women! Hey! Women! Hehe...women, mine!"

The Savages were drooling and yelling as they cautiously approached Ji Hao. Their strides constantly widening and their courage ever so increasing. Suddenly, one of them growled. Thousands of Savages started rushing towards Ji Hao and the Cold Stream Valley with their weapons raised high.

"Hao! Step back! Quick!" A warrior of the Qing Yi clan shouted at Ji Hao from the top of the unfinished wall.

Tens of Qing Yi Clan warriors pulled their out bows and shot hundreds of arrows in the span of two breaths.

Wisps of arrows whistled through the air and flew into the crowd of Savages like an intense rain. The remarkable shooting skill of the Qing Yi Clan warriors allowed every single arrow to wind a unique path through the air like a wriggling snake.

The arrows went through one, then two, then three, then even more to the Savages' throats. Each of the arrows pierced, at least, three Savages' throats. One of them even punctured the throats of fifteen madly running Savages before finally falling to the ground slantingly.

Immediately, blood splashed everywhere, covering heaven and earth.

A few Savages who were running in front of the crowd fell to the ground. They howled and struggled painfully with their hands around their punctured necks, then died soon.

The momentary courage of the Savages was now gone without a trace. Those Savages that luckily survived the arrows started screaming terrifyingly; they dropped their weapons and fled in the opposite direction of the Cold Stream Valley with all of their remaining strength.

The two armoured Jia Clan warriors frowned and shook their heads.

"These useless wastes! These Savages are no better than animals! They're not even qualified to be slaves! We have to do this ourselves!" Said the Jia Clan warrior who held a bola in his hands. He then sneered and continued, "The two of us are enough to capture the entire valley!"

The Jia Clan warrior with heavy shield and sword let out a sneer as well, and said, "We still need these Savages to send all these captives out of the valley for us. We can't let those archers kill all of them!"

The Jia Clan Warrior hung his shield on his belt then held his sword with his left hand, and crooked his middle finger of his other hand towards Ji Hao. He slightly raised the left corner of his upper lip and said with a mocking smile, "Hey, little kid, such a young Maguspriest. you're really good! Come, let us see what else you got!"

Ji Hao took a deep breath. His black pupils suddenly turned into a golden-red colour; nine spell symbols of the [Nine Secret Words] emerged around both of his pupils. The power of the [Nine Secret Words] began to drag the nature power into Ji Hao's body, even darkened the sunlight tens of feet around Ji Hao.

The Jia Clan warriors curiously looked at Ji Hao and showed no signs of attacking. Obviously, they didn't take Ji Hao serious at all, they were just curious about what Ji Hao was going to 'perform' for them.

"Hao! Back! You can't deal with 'em!" Ji Ying shouted. He was hit hard on the back of the head by the bola warrior and almost lost his consciousness; he had now leapt from the ground and raised his blazing spear, and stabbed towards the Jia Clan warrior's neck. The spear left a huge arc of fiery light in the air.

The life force of the Senior Magi were extraordinarily strong. The heavy bola's punch might've smashed the head of an ordinary man; however, Ji Ying only felt dizzy after he was hit by the bola, and soon recovered from it; he rose and fought again with his full power.

At the same time, Ji Lang, whose forehead was cracked and broken with face covered in blood, leaped high in the air as well. He took out a black dagger and stabbed towards the other Jia Clan Warrior's face.

In the meanwhile, he also shouted to Ji Hao, "Hao, draw back! Quick! Everyone stay back! Back! Back!"

Ji Hao calmly looked at Ji Ying and Ji Lang, yet he didn't move.

Mr. Crow quietly stood on Ji Hao's shoulder and ruffled his feathers. He fixed his eyes onto the dense jungle, where all these enemies came from and totally ignored the two Jia Clan Warriors.

Ji Ying and Ji Lang made their counterattacks simultaneously. However, the two Jia Clan Warriors suddenly stretched out their arms at exactly the same moment, and grabbed the necks of Ji Ying and Ji Lang, smashing them hard to the ground.

The earth shook intensely; Ji Ying's and Ji Lang's body was deeply buried into the ground.

"Kill!" Ji Ying roared from the hundreds of feet deep hole his body buried into, then jumped out of the hole with his body wrapped by a blazing fire, and rushed towards the Jia Clan warrior again.

"We're Senior Magi from the Fire Crow Clan!" Ji Lang spat out a mouthful of blood and also jumped out of the other hole. His dagger had gone missing when he was pummeled into the ground; he had now clenched his fists and threw punches to the Jia Clan Warrior instead.

"They're way stronger than you! Way stronger!" Ji Hao gnashed his teeth and growled in a low voice. "Why're you have to be so stubborn? Do you have to risk your lives against these guys?!"

Both of the two Jia Clan warriors took a step aside and easily dodged the attacks of Ji Ying and Ji Lang. Their actions were so unified, which gave a weird feeling that was very hard to explain. They avoided Ji Ying and Ji Lang's attacks with merely a simple step; then crooked their arms and leaned their upper body forward, striking hard against Ji Ying and Ji Lang's lower bellies simultaneously with their hard, hammer-like elbows.

Ji Ying and Ji Lang were sent flying backward instantly like cannonballs; their body sliced through the air, started a sharp air steam even cut a tens of feet long and five feet wide ditch into the ground. The two of them then heavily fell to the ground near Ji Hao's feet; their eyes widened and blood gushed out of their mouths.

This time, they were seriously injured and couldn't rise again even with the strong life force of Senior Magi.

The Jia Clan warrior with a sword then crooked his finger and sneered at Ji Hao again: "Come on, little guy, let me see what you got!"

"You think I'm stupid?!" Ji Hao showed his middle finger to the Jia Clan warriors without caring whether they could understand the meaning of this hand gesture. He then grabbed Ji Ying and Ji Lang with both of his hands and resealed the power inside his body, transformed into a stream of fiery light and disappeared.

In the next second, Ji Hao appeared near the entrance of the valley with Ji Ying and Ji Lang held in his arms.

"Retreat!" Ji Hao shouted while running madly toward the end of the valley. "Uncles, retreat! The enemies are too powerful! We have to wait for Abba and the other warriors to come back! Retreat! Just leave these slaves here!"

Tens of Qing Yi clans warriors quickly drew close to Ji Hao; other Fire Crow Clan warriors who were guarding the valley followed Ji Hao and ran toward the end of the valley as well.

However, two figures then broke into the valley like a tornado. They bursted into the crowd of Fire Crow Clan and Qing Yi Clan warriors, sending tens of them flying; these warriors then fell hard on the ground thousands of feet away and coughed up blood ceaselessly.

Ji Hao stopped running; because he saw the Jia Clan warriors were waiting in front of him with that mocking sneer on their faces.

They moved too fast, Ji Hao didn't even clearly see how they broke into the valley.


Bab 37: Puppet

Editor: Hitesh_

Ji Hao was stopped by the two Jia Clan warriors. The slaves near Ji Hao were all curling up on the ground and trembling in fear.

From the Cold Stream that was flowing at the side, the fat bear jumped out abruptly. The bear's fur was soaking wet. It leaped high in the air, raised its huge paw and slapped toward one of the Jia Clan warriors.

"Fatty! Get away!" The corners of Ji Hao's eye twitched. He let out a growl anxiously.

The bear's beady eyes turned into blood-red; thick strands of viscous white saliva hung from the corners of its mouth; every single of its hairs had risen on end like steel needles; and the huge bear paw created a gust of fierce wind. The bear showed no signs of stopping.

The Jia Clan warrior aimed at by the bear raised his head, throwing a sideways glance at the bear with that mocking smile that remained on his face. He then quickly took a large step sideways, moved right under the bear's body, and punched the bear's belly with his right fist.

This punch sent the gigantic bear flying into the air. The bear flew a mile away like a small flying mountain, then fell into the Cold Stream. The water rapidly turned red and then the bear slowly floated up, drifting down along with the flow then getting stuck at several giant stones in the middle of the stream.

At the end of the valley, swirls of dust rose thousands of feet high in the air. Tens of Fire Crow Warriors who were guarding the end of the valley were rushing towards Ji Hao and the others.

They shouted loudly when they saw the two Jia Clan Warriors; looming fiery lights appeared behind their bodies. They raised their arms and threw their spears towards the Jia Clan warriors across a distance of miles.

Tens of Mulberry wood spears were all wrapped by blazing fire and darted toward the two Jia Clan Warriors in different paths, blocking all the possible sides that the Jia Clan warriors might go to dodge the attack.

The Jia Clan warrior with the sword turned his head then showed a creepy smile to Ji Hao who had a very serious expression. The Jia Clan warrior then took the shield which hanged around his waist and raised it high then casted an odd spell. The shield suddenly emitted an eye-piercing light; the light soon formed an immense light-shield in front of the two Jia Clan warriors.

In the next second, all the spears shattered against the light-shield along with a thunderous noise, while the light-shield stood firmly without even shaking.

Ji Hao noticed that there was a familiar totem embossed on the surface of the Jia Clan warrior's shield - A tower with a blood-red eye floating on top of it. That eye was shining with a blood-red light, very life-like. Ji Hao gazed at that eye, shivering subconsciously.

Another Jia Clan warrior dropped his bola and soothed the bone joints of his fingers. He thrusted his hands towards the tens of Fire Crow warriors who were rushing towards him and his partner. His ten fingers then started flicking like he was playing a pipa[1].

The air near his fingertips then started popping; countless fist-sized, dagger-like sharp gusts of winds darted out from near his fingers and suddenly hit on those Fire Crow warriors' bodies.

Every single flick of the Jia Clan warrior sent hundreds of gusts of wind towards those Fire Crow Clan warriors; these dagger-like wind broke their bones, pierced their arms and legs, and hollowed their chests. Those Fire Crow warriors had not been prepared for this; they were trembling intensely and vomiting blood, seemingly as weak as grasses under the attack of these strange wind. Soon, all of the Fire Crow warriors were sent flying backwards by the rain-storm-like sharp gusts of wind.

"So vulnerable! I'm disappointed. Haven't met any real rival yet." Said one of the Jia Clan warriors.

The other Jia Clan warrior stopped flicking his fingers. Wisps of smoke rose from his ten finger tips, which caused by the friction between his fingers and the air.

Ji Hao gnashed his teeth and glared at the two horrible enemies.

The shield was nothing but a magus tool with extraordinary defensive power. However, Ji Hao didn't sense even a trace of magical power from the guy who just knocked tens of Fire Crow Clan warriors down by flicking his fingers, which meant that he only popped the air using brute force and easily smashed a Fire Crow Clan warrior team.

Mr. Crow stretched his wings and slightly moved his claws which were gripping Ji Hao's shoulder; a trace of cruelty flashed through his blood-red pupils.

Ji Hao patted Mr. Crow and slightly shook his head. He had known Mr. Crow since he was a newborn baby; he clearly understood the meaning of Mr. Crow's actions.

There are still more powerful enemies hidden in that dense jungle all this time, which was why Mr. Crow didn't pay any attention to the Jia Clan warriors and kept a vigilant watch at the jungle.

"You're very powerful. However, this is our Fire Crow Clan's territory." Ji Hao stared at the two Jia Clan warriors who wasn't even gasping for breath after all this, and said seriously. "No matter where you came from, you have invaded our territory, you..."

"This place is far, far away from the center of your Fire Crow Clan, we're not afraid of the retaliation from your clan at all. Are you trying to stall us? Little guy, I have to admit that you surprised me. This cleverness of yours will make you worth even more!" The Jia Clan warrior wielding a sword interrupted Ji Hao's words. He looked at Ji Hao up and down with his four cold eyes.

The other Jia Clan warrior picked up his bola, waved it then grinned and said to Ji Hao, "You'll be worth a fortune. I feel like I'm looking at piles of gold and jade. We can live a happy and comfortable life for a long while."

All the warriors guarding the Cold Stream Valley were knocked down this time; groups of Savages rushed into the valley.

These Savages had no sense of rules��they started damaging everything once they got into the valley.

Thanks to Ji Shu and his people, there were nothing like food or equipment worthy to be robbed in the Cold Stream Valley. The Savages rummaged for a while then fixed their eyes on those slaves who were still curling up on the ground.

"Meat! Smell so good!" Savages rubbed their hands and walked toward those slaves. They have fought hard for quite a while; at this point, they were all starving. The Savages could eat all living things; now these slaves who were powerless to resist were the best food for them.

The sound of friction came from the jungle. Three enormous metal beings swiftly walked out of the jungle along with cracking branch sounds.

Ji Hao looked at the three gigantic things stunningly - They looked like three huge metal spiders; their bodies were over twenty feet tall and the spider legs were nearly a hundred feet long, which allowed them to move surprisingly fast.

Soon, the three metal spiders got into the Cold Stream Valley. They opened their mouths and made an ear-piercing sound. The Savages who were approaching those slaves started screaming immediately and tried to block the sound by covering their ears with their hands. Then they left those slaves and fled.

The three metal spiders quickly walked up behind Ji Hao while driving Savages away and slowly lowered their bodies.

The body of the metal spider in the middle opened a crack abruptly; a cold voice came from inside of it.

"Bind all the captives. Now we only need to wait until the others come back and take care of them too, then we can finish this perfect hunt."

The voice paused for a second, then chuckled, "It's worth the wait. We have waited in the damn jungle for over a month. I'm very satisfied on our harvest this time."
