Chapter 612 - 612 The Ancient Temple in the Wilderness
612 The Ancient Temple in the Wilderness
“I’m afraid the foreign races are going to use unscrupulous means…” said Alice, frowning. Her worries were not baseless.
Li Xiang said indifferently, “I think it’s meaningless if we return to the Kingdom of Dawn smoothly. It’s because of these foreign races’ obstruction that we can break through their interception and show the strength of our Human race. I’m not afraid of them coming but I’m only afraid of them not coming!”
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked.
Sure enough, not long after they started moving forward again, various assassination methods began to appear one after another.
As they walked, the ground suddenly turned into a poisonous swamp. It wasn’t just Li Xiang, but the entire army had fallen into the swamp.
Many soldiers were poisoned but there were no casualties with timely treatment. However, this situation still affected the morale of the army.
After that, Li Xiang used the Tower of Stars and cruelly refined the entire poisonous swamp, turning it into a part of the eight trigrams grotto-heaven.
There were also foreign race assassins who used their powerful concealment abilities to assassinate them off guard. They were as fast as lightning and as silent as the dead.
At the most dangerous moment, the weapons were less than an inch away from Li Xiang’s throat. It was clear that these assassins’ strength and means were extraordinary.
There were also a large number of wolves, about hundreds of thousands of them, which came over from all directions.
Hundreds of thousands of wolves were not a threat to the 20,000 Human armies. However, these wolves were not afraid of death. Not only were they fast, but they also had extremely powerful jumping abilities. They could charge into the army easily.
However, this was not the scariest thing. The scariest thing was that as they were fighting and killing, a Werewolf powerhouse in the wolf pack suddenly burst out and launched a fatal attack on Li Xiang.
The scene was extremely dangerous.
Almost every race had its unique assassination methods. And now, these assassination methods had appeared one after another, and they were all used on Li Xiang.
Although Li Xiang had never practiced the way of assassination, he had a deeper understanding after experiencing all kinds of continuous assassinations. He was especially interested in Concealment Art.
All kinds of assassination methods appeared, and there were many races with special abilities.
With the appearance of these enemies, not only did Li Xiang gain experience but the warriors too. Each of them had wounds on their bodies, but they could not hide their increasingly powerful and valiant auras.
With Li Xiang’s support, the Human race’s casualties were actually very small. No matter how serious the injury was, they could be saved unless there was no time for rescue.
However, Li Xiang did not release the rescued warriors. Instead, he kept them in the Tower of Stars, where they continued to hide with the hundreds of thousands of hidden troops.
Li Xiang did not just want to train the 20,000 soldiers by leading them back to the Kingdom of Dawn. If that was all, it would have been too much of a hassle.
His real purpose was to expose the races that were truly hostile to the Human race.
He used himself and his human army as bait in the hope of exterminating more enemies while killing their way back to the Kingdom of Dawn.
The hidden army was just a precaution.
The army in the Tower of Stars was the Kingdom of Dawn’s true essence and trump card. The top-rank powerhouses were all in the divine realm. There were over a thousand Angel Warriors, as well as the most elite Demon Army and Human army. They had all been tempered through countless bloody battles.
The 20,000 Human armies that he had brought out had a good foundation but they were all new soldiers. After the experience this time, they would become the most elite army of the Human race.
Unknowingly, they had walked another 400 miles.
The sky gradually began to darken until night fell.
“It’s night again. The assassinations from the foreign races will become more and more intense and crazy.”
Li Xiang looked up at the sky, took a deep breath, and muttered to himself.
The night was the best environment for an assassination.
“Country Lord, there’s a run-down temple up ahead. The temple is already in ruins and most of it has collapsed. There’s only one house that’s still intact. Do you want to go there and make it the base for tonight?”
Zhao Sheng came to report.
“Temple? How could there be a temple in the wilderness? Could it be that it was not covered by heaven and earth or destroyed when the infinite worlds fused and thus remained?”
Some strange images appeared in Li Xiang’s mind.
In the movies and novels he had read in his previous life, places like ruined temples and Taoist temples were mostly places of trouble. There were either bloody disasters or the threat of demon beasts.
Now that they had traveled more than four hundred miles and happened to come across such a place, it was impossible for him not to overthink it.
However, he had 20,000 armies with him now. He didn’t have any reservations about this. No matter how strong the murderous aura was, could it be stronger than the killing aura of the army?
“The temple is dilapidated, so there’s no need to live in it. However, if the area is big enough, it can be used as a place to set up camp. Let’s go and take a look.”
Li Xiang said casually.
“There’s a beggar inside!”
After entering the temple, he was surprised to see a beggar lying in front of the dilapidated Great Hall.
His clothes were tattered and patched, and his hair was disheveled. There was a bamboo stick by his hand and a black broken bowl by his side. One could tell at a glance that he was a complete beggar. The beggar’s outfit was complete. He just needed to find a crowded place, shout a few times, and open his mouth to beg.
But what was this place? This was the Myriad World Continent, where foreign races ran rampant, fierce beasts wreaked havoc, and demon beasts were in hordes. It was almost impossible for the Human race to move a single step here.
Where could he go to beg for food in this kind of place?
Even if he was not eaten by demon beasts or fierce beasts when they first arrived in this world, they would have starved to death long ago.
Therefore, the beggar’s appearance here was very strange and abnormal.
However, he was certain that this beggar was a human.
An old farmer had appeared before this. This made everyone feel a sense of awe towards these humans who had appeared out of nowhere.
“Give him a military bento box.”
Li Xiang frowned slightly.
Not to mention that the beggar’s background was unknown and strange but he did not like beggars.
After all, everyone who came to the Myriad World Continent would have treasured land at the place where they first descended. It was enough for them to recuperate.
These places could grow crops in a few days if they were planted with some seeds. There were also countless exotic flowers and fruits in these treasured lands. As long as one worked a little, one would not starve to death.
However, beggars had hands and legs but didn’t know how to rely on themselves. They completely relied on others’ charity, which was very unpleasant.
