Free Web NovelChapter 778: Chapter 213: These Alien Races (Part 1)
"Those aliens are vicious! Beasts! I can’t believe they truly dared!" Yuan Feng stood up with eyes red with anger.
However, his words caught Mu Qingge’s attention.
She turned her head and looked back at him, "Explain these words clearly."
Yuan Feng’s burly body trembled slightly, he lowered his head and pressed his lips tightly together.
Mu Qingge frowned slightly.
Gu Ya timely came over and whispered in her ear, "The Alien Race feeds on the bodies of the Divine and Demon Clans. It seems they can gain power from them. Though they used to drag away the slain, now they..."
Mu Qingge’s eyes showed surprise.
What kind of race is this, that they would use the flesh of the Divine and Demon Clans as food?
But why...
Mu Qingge frowned again, a sense of familiarity lingered in her mind, as if these bizarre aliens were not unfamiliar to her.
A glimmer flashed in her eyes, Mu Qingge’s gaze again fell on those corpse pieces covered with white cloth, ordering Yuan Feng, "Carry them away and give them a proper burial. Since you can’t tell who is who, bury them together. They fought in the same armor, died in the same grave, also considered a kind of destiny."
Yuan Feng nodded heavily, instructing others to follow Mu Qingge’s orders.
After dealing with these matters, Mu Qingge looked up outside, and spoke to the four Great Feudal Lords following her, along with Yuan Feng the Defender General: "Let’s go see the city walls." She wanted to see what kind of alien could entangle with the Divine and Demon Clans for hundreds of thousands of years.
"Princess just arrived, how about taking a rest?" Yuan Feng restored his composure, and said hurriedly after hearing Mu Qingge’s words. Isn’t it known that the princess is carrying a young prince? How can she labor so much?
"No need." Mu Qingge shook her head, refusing.
Qing Ze and Ling Jiu exchanged a glance, and Su Sheng and She Yin also exchanged a knowing look, none of them spoke.
The group, led by Yuan Feng, ascended the high city walls.
These walls stretched along Menglan River, guarding strictly along the boundary of Taixuan Demon Realm following the river’s flow.
"What’s across the river?" Mu Qingge gazed into the distance, across the river a thick black fog lingered, making it impossible to discern reality.
Gu Ye understood her meaning and replied, "That is a shattered land. A gap between the Divine and Demon Clans, the space there is chaotic, making it easy for the Alien Race to intrude."
Mu Qingge nodded slowly, in the Taixuan Demon Realm map she looked at before, that area was not described in detail.
Just relying on this, she couldn’t see the aliens.
Mu Qingge stood on the city walls, one hand resting on the cold and sturdy walls. Behind her stood Gu Ya and Gu Ye, while on her left and right were Qing Ze and Ling Jiu, Su Sheng and She Yin respectively.
Yuan Feng, being of lower rank, was pushed to the outermost edge.
"Princess, the alien army is in the thick fog across the river." Yuan Feng pointed to the fog, explaining to Mu Qingge.
Mu Qingge nodded almost imperceptibly, her gaze fell on the turbulent river, the black waters fathomless, waves crashing violently, seemingly with ferocity.
With this river as a barrier, how could the alien army attack?
Would they build a bridge or fly across?
Mu Qingge silently questioned herself.
The Menglan River, with its advantageous defensive terrain, deep valleys and dangerous landforms, served as excellent barriers.
As she pondered, suddenly ear-piercing screams came.
This sound caused her to freeze, a horrified light sparking in her eyes.
’This sound is...’
Amidst her shock, Yuan Feng already reacted, shouting to the surrounding demon soldiers, "Quick! The aliens are starting their attack, everyone prepare for battle——!"
"Princess, the aliens have started attacking, maybe you should take shelter first." Su Sheng looked at Mu Qingge, speaking indifferently.
Mu Qingge placed her safety in their hands, if anything happened to her, wouldn’t they be doomed as well?
"Indeed! We’re here, Princess should retreat and rest." Qing Ze added.
For them, guarding Menglan River was crucial, and ensuring Mu Qingge’s safety was also important.
Qing Ze and Ling Jiu’s concern was naturally because of Si Mo. While Su Sheng and She Yin, Mu Qingge’s command left them no choice but to protect her well.
However, despite their persuasion, Mu Qingge shook her head, saying, "No need, I will stay here, you fight your fight, don’t worry about me." She wanted to see if these aliens were just as she thought in her heart.
"Princess!"
"Princess must not be willful!"
"Princess should go back to rest!"
"Princess, this is a battlefield, not a place for child’s play."
The four all furrowed their brows and urged her.
Yet, Mu Qingge stubbornly refused to leave.
As the four were both anxious and frustrated, that shrill sound came again.
Mu Qingge only heard Yuan Feng shout, "Put on the soundproof shield!"
"Soundproof shield?" Mu Qingge turned her eyes in confusion to the surrounding demon soldiers. She saw each of them wearing a black hemisphere, covering their entire heads.
Mu Qingge’s eyes narrowed as a faint golden color floated in her eyes.
She discovered that on that thing, there was some kind of black energy entwined, keeping the spiritual attack outside.
’The Demon Clan actually has such methods!’ Mu Qingge was shocked in her heart.
Looking again at the four Great Feudal Lords to her left and right, their expressions were normal, seemingly unaffected by that sound.
Not only them, but even Gu Ya and Gu Ye were the same.
Mu Qingge was curious, yet others were also curious about her.
Because, the opponent’s spiritual attack seemed to have no effect on this Princess whatsoever.
At this moment, dark green figures sprang from the black fog on the opposite bank of the river. They lined up, hand and foot connected, incredibly forming floating bridges in the air, linking both banks of the Menglan River.
As a dozen ’floating bridges’ connected, countless green-skinned creatures were sprinting across the bridge, an awe-inspiring and terrifying scene.
"Quick! Interrupt them!" Yuan Feng’s commanding voice echoed in Mu Qingge’s ear.
Immediately, from the corners of her eyes, countless flames were being thrown down, tracing arcs in the air before landing on the hand-and-foot connected ’floating bridges’.
’No! Something’s wrong!’ Mu Qingge’s eyes sharpened, staring intently at those small creatures hit by the flames, falling into the water, turning into green liquid.
’Aren’t they supposed to multiply when killed physically?’ Mu Qingge was shocked within.
At this moment, she could completely confirm that the alien race, as mentioned by the Demon Clan, was indeed those green-skinned creatures she encountered at the Divine Demon Ancient Battlefield!
Yet, upon seeing them again, what was in front of her seemed to contradict the knowledge she had previously confirmed.
’Why? Why were the Demon Clan’s attack methods effective?’ Mu Qingge asked herself, shocked within.
One after another, flames continued to fall, interrupting those floating bridges.
Continuous deaths of small creatures, yet small creatures kept charging to the shore, quickly heading towards the city wall a hundred-feet tall.
The Demon Clan’s soldiers were ready for battle, each in their role, preventing those creatures from storming the city.
"Princess, watch out!" Suddenly, Mu Qingge’s elbow was yanked fiercely, pulling her whole body backward.
Behind her, the sound of drawing swords had already sounded.
While Su Sheng blocked in front of her, a flash of black light, a leaping small creature was split into two, screaming as it turned into green liquid and fell.
Mu Qingge’s expression was serious, her gaze falling on the spot where her elbow was held, only to find that the person who pulled her back was Qing Ze, standing beside her.
As she looked over, Qing Ze quickly released his hand, and said to her, "Earlier, I was rude."
Mu Qingge shook her head slowly, at this moment she had too many things she couldn’t understand.
"Princess, I think you should take shelter for now." Su Sheng turned his gaze to Mu Qingge and said coldly.
If it weren’t for Mu Qingge’s previous orders, he wouldn’t have bothered to make a move just now.
Mu Qingge’s gaze was steady, her tightly pressed lips finally parted, she said to Gu Ya and Gu Ye, "You two, come with me." With that, she turned and walked into a fortress on the city wall.
Such fortresses appeared on the city wall at regular intervals, enclosed on all sides, leaving only a passage door and two vent windows on the wall.
As the three entered, the fortress door was tightly closed.
Looking at that tightly closed door, a disdainful look appeared in Su Sheng’s eyes.
Yet, there was not much time for him to dwell on his dissatisfaction, soon the four Great Feudal Lords also joined the battle.
"I ask you both, how do you kill these alien races?" Inside the fortress, Mu Qingge turned to look at Gu Ya and Gu Ye, asking in a low voice.
Gu Ya and Gu Ye exchanged a glance, with a sense of bafflement in their eyes.
Finally, it was Gu Ye who asked, "Has the Princess encountered these alien races before?"
They had always been by Mu Qingge’s side, witnessing her expression when she saw the alien races appear. It was definitely not the reaction one would have upon seeing them for the first time.
Mu Qingge nodded slowly, "I once encountered them at the Divine Demon Ancient Battlefield, but our conventional means of attack would only cause them to multiply more as we kill."
Gu Ya and Gu Ye suddenly understood.
Gu Ya said, "These alien races cannot be killed without a cultivation level above the Third Layer of Spirit Void Realm."
"Spirit Void Realm!" Mu Qingge’s eyes narrowed.
Gu Ye said, "This is a cultivation level on the Divine Demon Continent, now as we speak, perhaps the Princess might find it hard to grasp."
’So that’s the principle!’ Mu Qingge understood.
It turns out these creatures can be killed, but it’s because they lacked the skills necessary.
"Using a cultivation level below the Third Layer of Spirit Void Realm to kill these alien races will only cause them to multiply. Earlier, the flames Yuan Feng commanded were not truly fire, but a type of weapon, inside it was sealed with a full-power strike above the Fifth Rank of Spirit Void Realm, which is why they could interrupt those floating bridges formed by the alien races." Gu Ye continued explaining.
Mu Qingge slowly paced within the fortress, contemplating the words of Gu Ya and Gu Ye. Her heart gradually forming a conclusion—
In other words, if she uses Spiritual Sense Power to attack, there is no Realm limitation. However, if she wants to use Spiritual Power to attack, it must reach above the Third Layer of Spirit Void Realm.
Moreover...
Mu Qingge noted that even if they could kill these alien races, it would be like normal, one at a time, unable to hit large areas like the method she employed.
"What about those taller alien races? The ones commanding these smaller aliens." Mu Qingge asked again.
Gu Ya replied, "They usually hide within the thick fog."
Mu Qingge’s eyes lit up, a slight smile tugging at her lips, she already had a plan in mind.
