Chapter 257: Trouble

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Before He Qing left, he briefly explained the situation outside the Black Grassland.

Due to the Mother Tree’s influence, the Giant Clan and the Insect Clan had joined forces to hunt the Undead Clan together.

The battle had turned into a war.

And the scale of the war continued to expand.

By now, the intensity of the war was no longer a small matter. Source Realm experts could be seen almost everywhere on the main battlefield, and even battles between Ancient Realm individuals occurred from time to time.

Even though the gods had not participated, the current situation could still be called a full-scale war.

Anyone with discerning eyes knew that the cooperation between the Insect Clan and the Giant Clan was harmonious on the surface.

But, due to the Mother Tree’s mediation, this cooperation could still be maintained to a certain extent at an acceptable level.

This time, Hao Huang and Blade had come to the Hundred Thousand Mountains to hunt down a Source Realm expert of the Undead Clan, Esek.

They had received information that Esek had come to the Hundred Thousand Mountains on a secret mission.

That was why the scene unfolded as it did.

The Flesh Mother Tree, whether out of boredom or some other intention, promptly sent out an avatar to follow Hao Huang and Blade to this location.

“Sub-base! I need to create a sub-base.”

Regarding its plans, at least on the surface, the Mother Tree was straightforward.

As she spoke, the human-headed monster carried the sapling off the palanquin and placed it on the Black Grassland.

The roots began to burrow down.

And the Mother Tree started absorbing nutrients.

This scene made Hao Huang could not help but speak up, “The plants on the Black Grassland are toxic. After absorbing the toxins in the black grass, it will severely disrupt the cultivation of superhumans.”

The Mother Tree replied with an “Oh”.

“But I’m not a superhuman… All I need is biomass.”

Of course, the black grass also contained biomass.

In addition, the Mother Tree was not afraid of the toxins in the black grass at all.

In short, this place was still useful to the Mother Tree.

“So, I’ll wait here for the good news from the two of you. 1’11 leave the matter of Esek to the two of you.”

Hao Huang replied, “Alright.”

Blade pursed his lips and said, “I can handle it myself!”

While eating, the Mother Tree smiled, “Cooperation leads to win-win situations. 1 wish you both success.”

Watching Hao Huang and the Blade walk away, the small tree’s eyes flashed.

“Let’s begin.”

Beside him, the eight human-headed monsters immediately set off. From the looks of it, their target seemed to be the depths of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

At this moment, deep in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

A member of the Undead Clan named Esek was slowly making his way further inward.

At the same time that the Queen of Blades was slaughtering the undead, Esek looked back as if sensing something.

The blond, blue-eyed, and human-looking Esek did not feel depressed about the death of his fellow undead. He just gently licked the corner of his mouth.

“Hehehe-”

“The Giant Clan, the Insect Clan…”

“Seeking a tiger’s skin, not knowing what’s good or bad for you, not knowing to advance or retreat.”

“Can you even control that thing?”

With that said, it turned around and continued to advance into the depths of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, muttering indistinctly.

“Soon, almost there…”

“All we need is just like this, just like this. According to Lord Undead’s instructions, that thing will undoubtedly bring the heaviest blow to both clans!”

“The early sacrifices were all necessary and were worth it.”

“And now, the day of counterattack is approaching!”

About an hour later.

Two figures descended from the sky and landed squarely in the City Lord Manor of Archean City.

Roda hurriedly came out and looked at the two unexpected visitors.

When he saw their faces, Roda took a deep breath.

He said respectfully, “Greetings to the two Lords of the Insect Clan and the Giant Clan.”

The Queen of Blades did not even look at Roda and remained silent.

Hao Huang calmly spoke, “Are you the leader here?”

Roda nodded, “Yes.”

“Tell your men to go to the Hundred Thousand Mountains and handle something for me. That’s all.”

Hao Huang did not say anything else.

As a Source Realm expert, all he had to do was make a request, and the City

Lord of this Archean City would have to do as he was told.

There was no reason.

And there was no room for refusal.

Because that was the rule in the entire Black Mist Zone.

Roda immediately nodded, “May 1 know what the lord wants us to do?”

“Find an undead named Esek, and this is what it looks like.”

Hao Huang waved his hand, and with the distortion of Source Power, Esek’s appearance was vividly displayed in front of Roda.

This scene made Roda gasp.

Such methods undoubtedly belonged to a Source Realm expert.

“Have you memorized it?” Hao Huang asked.

“Yes, I have memorized it,” Roda replied respectfully.

Hao Huang said, “Let me know when you find it. By the way, my partner and I don’t have a place to stay for now, so we’ll temporarily stay here. Do you have any objections?”

Luo Da opened his mouth, but he could only nod and say, “No objections.”

What objections could he have?

How dared he have any opinions?

The two Source Realm experts, Hao Huang and the Queen of Blades, were undoubtedly like two gods to Roda and the Archean City.

However, despite his humble status, Roda remained unruffled.

After all, no one knew that within his City Lord’s Mansion, there was another great deity in hiding.

However, Roda only informed Lu Ming about this matter, and he had no intention of bothering Lu Ming with anything else—after all, this was just a minor issue and did not pose any real crisis.

He would obediently help the Source Realm experts with their tasks and send them away after settling the matter. That would be the end of it.

He found Quan Chao and mobilized the power of the Land God Association and the explorers of Archean City to start the search for Esek.

Meanwhile, Hao Huang and the Queen Blade settled into the City Lord Manor.

To the Source Realm experts, everything beneath the Source Realm was insignificant.

This was probably the mentality of Hao Huang and Queen Blade at the moment.

As a result, their daily interactions came off as rather aloof.

However, from another perspective, aloofness also meant fewer troubles…

They simply waited in their rooms or ventured out to search in the Hundred Thousand Mountains themselves. The City Lord’s Manor was just a temporary place for them, and they had no interest in dealing with the lowly beings around them.

Therefore, a full week passed, and there was still no disturbance in the City Lord Manor.

On this day,

the 338th Day of the Black Mist Calendar.

During the routine daily briefing, Queen Blade, unusually, displayed some emotional fluctuations.

“Trash!”

She spoke to Roda in this manner, but all she received in response was silence.

Queen Blade did not say anything further or take any additional actions, as if calling Roda trash was already a significant concession on her part.

Beside her, Hao Huang furrowed his brow and shook his head, “Indeed, they’re trash. This Archean City is nothing more than a gathering of trash.”

Because for a full eight days, they had found no trace of Esek.

At this point, Roda said, “Two Lords, our people have already searched the periphery of the Hundred Thousand Mountains thoroughly but haven’t found a trace of Esek. 1 have a suspicion that Esek might have gone deeper into the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Could it be possible?”

Hao Huang immediately roared, “If you know, why haven’t you sent people to look for him!?”

Roda smiled bitterly and said, “We can’t search there. The depths of the Hundred Thousand Mountains are too dangerous, and our people are too weak. Sending them there would only result in more casualties.”

Hao Huang was at a loss.

While he could force these people to venture into the depths of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, what good would it do if they died in large numbers without achieving the goal?

“Forget it. 1 don’t think I can count on you guys for this matter.”

“Furthermore, our reinforcements from the clan are about to arrive. Prepare food and drink for them. You don’t need to worry about Esek anymore.”

As Hao Huang spoke, Queen Blade added calmly, “Prepare an empty space and a large amount of blood food. Our Insect Clan will build a nest here.”

Roda remained silent for a long time before nodding and said, “I understand..”
