Chapter 1771: Foreign Race Border Area

Chapter 1771: Chapter 1070: Foreign Race Border Area

This girl is quite the seasoned veteran, and although Sui Yi didn’t have any use for her, he didn’t refuse either. After exchanging contacts, he left…

“Eh? That person… actually went out alone.”

Initially, Fu Shuangshuang found this person unlike the annoying type, looking cultured, which sparked her interest in befriending. Yet, unexpectedly, after just obtaining the Blood Stele, he left the safe Blood Banyan residential area without even glancing at its bustling liveliness…

“Merely at the Cloud Ascendant Level, either courting death, or having quite a few tricks up his sleeve… Jie Jie, these sisters were indeed right… The outer domain battlefield hides many talents.”

Fu Shuangshuang leisurely walked towards the bustling area.

——————

“That girl’s energy aura and cultivation technique align with the Qi Dao lineage, she must be from Celestial Lapis City… Her talent is indeed interesting.”

At this moment, Sui Yi wasn’t aware of the gigantic stir she caused in the Three Realms Origin by throwing Dark Dragon and others into the abyss. Even three months later, Ghost City and Celestial Lapis City were still haunted by it, their operations much more low-key, though the deep undercurrents behind were unknown.

Sui Yi, as a Sacrificial Wine, vanished outside the Blood Pond, seeking the nearest Black Pond Water, pinpointing the noted black spot on her booklet…

This black spot was a store named Black Shop.

Black Shop is very famous throughout the outer domain battlefield since it’s the sole supply station, offering equipment, potions, and cultivation materials. Although pricey, it’s like some shops in airplane terminals where a bottle of water costs more than outside.

Upon arrival, Sui Yi straightforwardly asked the store’s personnel.

“Young master, you must be an insider, knowing to come to our Black Shop for strategic maps. This is confidential information, from our exclusive masters venturing through the outer domain battlefield, including the Foreign Race distributions at its borders, something other maps lack…”

Price reflects the value, and sometimes intelligence itself is a massive fortune, aiding people in avoiding many dangers. Sui Yi needed precisely these threats.

“One map.”

“Very well, that’ll be one thousand Boundary Currency.”

Sui Yi was quite wealthy, having exchanged Three Realms Origin and Dimensional Realm’s currencies for enough Boundary Currency, boasting millions, so a thousand was nothing.

However, to spend one thousand Boundary Currency, one may purchase a batch of resources in this well-stocked Black Shop, enabling several Void-breaking breakthroughs to the Cloud Ascendant Level.

Clearly, this map held significant weight, especially with Starfall prominently marked.

Upon obtaining the map, Sui Yi inspected its detailed records…

Yellow Sand Land, Azure Cloud Skies, Black Pond Water, Red Maple Forest, all marked with red lines and points, explanations beside indicating places where certain Foreign Race or opposing forces’ Admirals and Lieutenant Generals frequently appeared…

The recognized battle achievements by the Blood Stele are numerous; some against Desolate Beasts, other Foreign Races hostile to Human Race, and even internal Human Race cultivators are counted.

However, when speaking of achievement value, the lives of opposing Foreign Races bear greater worth.

Killing one’s own kind is always considered the inferior choice.

Yet, the greatest danger often comes from one’s own kind, especially since internal Human Race conflicts are common. Many people rather focus on their own kind than facing Foreign Race…

Sui Yi didn’t make a specific choice; after reading the map, she examined this Black Shop’s most popular potions. Before, she sensed Tang Li and others seemed to have Special Abilities to blend naturally, likely after consuming special potions, such as a book transformation similar to Starfall in Dragon Ape World, rare there but common here, and with stronger effects, like Invisibility Pill turning the body transparent, or Air Pill, Ice Water, Grass Spirit Pill, all imaginable and obtainable.

Sui Yi herself had Magnetic Sensation mimic abilities, able to fool a Heavenly Venerate easily, naturally not needing these pills. But worries about the impossible, like encountering a powerful enemy while critically injured and unable to wield power? Hence, medication could offer more hope.

Thus, she lavishly purchased various special auxiliary pills, getting one or two of each kind, along with some restorative pills, spending fifty thousand Boundary Currency.

Being prepared prevents disasters.

Then she directly proceeded through the Azure Cloud Skies regions to the outer domain battlefield’s most perilous place—the Foreign Race borderline.

Among the Foreign Race hostile to Human Race, the strongest and fiercest were none other than Mang Jia Clan, Blade Shadow Clan, Poison Vein Clan, and Night Demon Clan.

These four clans harbor immense hatred towards Human Race, either having irreconcilable grievances or innate hostility, frequently hunting humans, employing all means.

Likewise, Human Race returns the sentiment, with the strongest gathering at the border area.

Therefore, the border area is the most dangerous.

Sui Yi followed the map’s route to the largest border area…

————————

The outer domain battlefield sees deaths daily, the rise of elite geniuses daily, and the fall of heroes daily.

The Foreign Race borderline and Human Race territory divides into three tiers of First Line Heaven, with the nearest to Foreign Race being the most perilous, followed by secondary and tertiary inward. Now, the third tier harbors a place named Lapu Lake, an icy water lake, with large freezing bubbles below its surface. These bubbles are really marsh gas from decomposed bodies of creatures dead in the lake, slowly rising from the warm lake bottom and blocked by surface ice, forming visible bubbles beneath, presenting a magical sight. Historically, in Foreign Race language, Lapu meant “magical lake,” and it spread to the Human Race, so they customarily call it Lapu.

Lapu Lake is beautiful—if you don’t see the rotting corpses floating beneath those bubbles…

Currently, under those bubbles, reside several semi-transparent shadows, cloaked and fused with the water, hiding even from Heavenly Venerates’ senses.

No breaths, no ripples, they follow bubbles’ natural flow…

Until black shadows crawl over the lake surface.

Their bodies resemble beetles but clad in Python Skin, with eight stout limbs fierce like crocodile claws, two Agile antennae on their foreheads, one submerged, the other raised skyward, probing scents, sensing creatures from miles away…

This innate creature Talent is a rarity amongst Human Race, and their strength and defense far surpass humans…

They are called Mang Jia.

This small Mang Jia group numbers thirty to forty; the leader spans ten meters, sluggishly climbing the Lapu lake surface, a layer of Ice Crystal covering Python Skin.

Below the water.

Three Lieutenant Generals exchange glances.

——Before the Star Domain Mang Jia crawls close to them, they must launch the ambush, otherwise the Mang Jia leader will be able to detect their scent.. Its antennae are far tougher than the other Mang Jia. If the enemy strikes first, they are as good as dead!

Three Lieutenant Generals positioned in a triangle, pulling at each other’s reminder red lines, when all three lines moved, then…

Kill!

Swish! The three Lieutenant Generals resolutely threw out small balls…

The balls exploded, the powder dispersing in the water reacted like a chemical change, transforming into thin and resilient vines, entangling the Mang Jia’s antennae touching the water, toxins invaded, paralyzing them!

The Mang Jia on the water surface slowed for a second before reacting, but that second was enough for the soldiers underwater to erupt together, in a blink, ten Mang Jia were flipped over, killed with poisoned weapons!

However, the Mang Jia leader had already begun to howl, Python Skin glowed, roaring, water waves trembled, sound waves shattered!

“Retract!”

All soldiers abandoned the Mang Jia they were fiercely fighting, regrouping together.

“Block!”

The three Lieutenant Generals after all were Starfall, they condensed shields before the terrifying sound wave arrival.

Three elliptical shields protected all soldiers.

Thud thud thud!

The sound wave struck the shields with vibrations, but they managed to hold.

It was a well-coordinated move.

After blocking the sound wave, melee fighters advanced, supporters in the back, long-range attackers overwhelmed, swiftly defeating four or five Mang Jia…

Actually, the Human Race squad of over a hundred was far more numerous than Mang Jia, yet they remained extremely cautious, because the Foreign Race could always fight three, even ten, with one. Their hundred men needed to rely on the presence of the three Lieutenant Generals, if there were only one or two Lieutenant Generals, they would never dare ambush the enemy.

But now…

“Come on! Watch the Mang Jia leader! Throw it some sleep potion!”

The Human Race’s greatest advantage is their ability to use various weapons and potions to enhance combat, able to amplify combat strength from five to twenty-five or even fifty!

Seeing the coordination becoming more seamless, like pushing a major dungeon Boss, dispatching the minor soldiers one by one, and then….

Suddenly.

“Roar!!”

A roar echoed.

Everyone was appalled, raising their heads to see the rapid flashes of gray light over the lake surface from the left front.

“Not good! They have another team of Mang Jia!”

“Retreat retreat retreat!!”

The roar undoubtedly came from another Mang Jia leader. If there were two, they wouldn’t stand a chance.

The three Lieutenant Generals were horrified, turning to lead the men away…

No time left.

In the distance, the Mang Jia burst into the air, muscles swelling, lower abdomen holes contracted one by one, and then, black lights gathered.

Projectile!

Boom boom boom!

Huge black lights exploded on the water surface, Cloud Ascendant Masters blown to smithereens.

The sleeping Mang Jia leader was already stimulated back to consciousness, turning to whip its tail.

Boom!

One Lieutenant General caught sight of the tail whip…

His first reaction, he tossed the female Lieutenant General beside him forward…

Instantly killed!

Blocked, he fled downward.

All was lost…

Everyone fell into despair….

Suddenly, the sea water surged skyward, water turned to ice, concealed Ice Sharp Sword.

Only two Sharp Swords.

The two Mang Jia leaders fell to the ground.

Buzz…two Sharp Swords pierced through the Mang Jia leaders’ skulls, reversed, merging into one….

Spinning in the long sky.
