Chapter 190: A Serious Matter


Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


The group began to make their moves under the command of the captain.


Zhang Lisheng, Cui Xiaodong, Jin Fusheng, and a few others walked at the frontmost. Captain Hu did not view this teenager who was the first to notice the abnormal situation in a more favorable light. It was apparent that she felt that he was smart but extremely selfish, so she might as well use him as an ordinary small p.a.w.n.


The darkness was profound. Constantly moving forward in the deserted wilderness gave them a feeling of it being boundless and never-ending fear.


n.o.body knew how long they walked, but just when most of them started to feel their legs going sore, a faint wind filled with stench breezed towards them.


“Watch out, a beast may attack!” Upon smelling this unusual smell, Captain Hu vigilantly warned in a whisper. At the instant she warned, a few spotted coyotes tore the night and rushed to a short but very fat young girl by the edge of the team.


The girl walked in heavy steps that made people feel tired just by looking at her. Having been attacked by the coyote’s whirlwind-like pounce, of course, the girl could not dodge the strike in time since n.o.body was helping her. Right away, she was bitten at her throat.


“You dare to bite me? My anger is not yet vented now and you actually bit me? Yeah come and bite me…” However, in the next scene, instead of having her neck broken and dying a ruthless death being dragged away by the coyotes in their group, she waved her pair of fists around as though nothing happened. With a tight grip, she smashed the head of the coyote that was biting her throat into a b.l.o.o.d.y mess.


She proceeded to punch and kick the coyotes, killing the entire pack in just a few brandishes. Covered entirely in fresh blood, she turned around to look at her companion who was standing by the side, resting before shouting while waving her arms around, “Xu Lang! What lousy a.s.s wizard gu you have there! It can’t even block a few dogs?!”


“What do you think, boy? You’re stunned, right? I told you, we have some powerful people hidden in our group, so it’s definitely safer to a.s.semble together than you being alone.” Due to this unexpected attack, the group stopped temporarily so Old Man Xu pointed at the girl howling with anger not far away and bragged at Zhang Lisheng in a whisper, as though the person who killed the coyote packs effortlessly was him instead.


“Uncle, do you know about the background of the girl?” Zhang Lisheng smiled and asked casually.


“That girl is called Song Jiaojiao. She’s not that smart and would always talk bluntly. It’s said that after she turned into a witch, her father wanted to bring her to a safari park or a wild forest to choose a wild beast to sacrifice its soul. However, she, on the other hand, impatiently refined her pet tortoise into a wizard beast and in the end, she actually succeeded in one try. Not only that, after the soul sacrifice, that pet tortoise actually showed omniscient power. Don’t you think that it’s fate?”


After one cultivated the Witchcraft’s Gate of Sacrifice and stepped into its threshold, one would be able to pick a beast to transform into a wizard beast and extract its soul to put it into one’s own body to inherit the various abilities of the beasts. After a succession of breakthroughs, one would then combine these several souls sacrificed as wizard beasts into one to form an unpredictable transformation.


Not only that, but the soul sacrificed wizard beasts of the Gate of Sacrifice’s wizards could also be replaced at any time, making it hard to speculate what their abilities were. They might be able to catch their enemy off guard with close combat this time, but they might be able to use a spell the next time, inflicting injuries in an invisible method.


However, due to the reason that the ratio of the beasts that could be refined into wizard beasts was much smaller than the insects that could be refined into wizard gus, these days, it was already remarkable enough for a wizard who practiced the Gate of Sacrifice to be able to refine a soul sacrificed wizard beast. It had already long been unrealistic for a wizard to be picky and keep changing from time to time. For this reason, succeeding in soul sacrificing a pet tortoise and actually obtaining an omniscient power was indeed much harder than winning a lottery.


Upon hearing Old Man Xu’s words, Zhang Lisheng smiled again. “She’s indeed lucky!”


The different usage of the words ‘fate’ and ‘lucky’ here meant the teenager and the old man had a different view regarding this matter. However, Old Man Xu did not notice the difference and merely seized this chance to ask, “Boy, the wizard beast that you soul sacrificed should have an omniscient power as well, right? Otherwise, how could you possibly hear a sound so far away?”


“Not really! The one I cultivated is the Witchcraft’s Gate of Death.”


“Witchcraft’s Gate of Death? Come on, stop pulling my leg! Wait a minute, you do look like a person who cultivates the Witchcraft’s Gate of Death. Then again, you’d have to eat a lot of nutritious food that could allow you to exhaust your blood essence to feed your wizard gu while practicing your martial art at the same time…” Old Man Xu curled his lips and looked at the skinny teenager by his side. Suddenly, a flash of thought appeared in his mind. “Y-You! Don’t tell me you’ve actually obtained a wizard gu that can provide a surface boost to its owner just like Team Leader Cui? How could there be such coincidental thing in this world?!”


Zhang Lisheng shook his head. He was speechless as he quietly looked at the remnants of the several coyotes that Consultant Zheng reused at the edge of the team, as he unpacked the six living corpses that had previously been merged into one back to their original state.


This scene answered the question in the teenager’s heart. The coyotes were scavengers and predators during the day, so it was unreasonable for them to attack a large group of people who were rus.h.i.+ng their journey in the wilderness amidst the night. Somebody seemed to be controlling all of these somehow.


Not long after, the group began to continue their journey forward. Old Man Xu kept pestering Zhang Lisheng as he asked in a whisper, “Boy, how can you just tell me half of the story like that? It’s irritating being left on a cliffhanger…”


“Uncle, isn’t this obvious? I’ve transformed already.” Zhang Lisheng answered as he came to a stop. Numerous interchangeably blue and yellow scales that were round on the outside but square in the inside appeared on the surface of his body as he began to expand, becoming three meters wide.


Then, opening his mouth, he stretched his mouth to the size of the watermelon and spurted out a cyclone that tore through the sound barrier with a howl.


The cyclone disappeared in a flash. A few seconds later, a blazing fire was suddenly ignited in the distance several thousands of kilometers away. An ear-piercing sky-tearing “tshhh tshhh…” sound was heard and the crowds’ ears proceeded to resonate.


Not long after, a series of dense gunfire resonated from the blazing fire, illuminating half of the sky into a shade of crimson.


“B-Boy! Boy! Y-You’re…”


“Those Africans turned me into the bait, so I blew up their armored vehicles and broke the stalemate they were in with those supernatural realm’s people, allowing them to fight with each other. After all, courtesy demands reciprocity.”


“T-Then why didn’t you attack those supernatural realm’s people first?”


“I don’t even know what kind of ballistic reconnaissance instruments those supernatural realm’s people have. Wouldn’t I be doomed if I attack them first and they have seen through me?” Zhang Lisheng stared at the distant blazing sky without blinking and did not seem to realize he had already become the limelight of the group.


Under the watchful gaze of the teenager, about two or three kilometers away, many warriors wearing brown thin leather armor were riding on a pure black two-wheeled vehicle that had a streamlined shape. Emitting one thin line of milky white steam from the steam nozzle at the rear side of the vehicles, they were in a tactical evasive action beside two giant war chariots.


Dodging the artillery fire of the South African government forces at the same time, they used the thick short tube erected at the front end of the vehicle to shoot out egg-sized stone bullets that would split into four pieces along with hot steam that would be emitted when the barrel was fired. Then, they would reset their weird firearms before carrying out the same actions again.


The height of the war chariots covering these riders was more than three meters tall, about eight meters long, and three meters wide. The top turret was connected with three barrels with a diameter of nearly 50 cm. It looked like they had already exhausted their ammunition. They could no longer fire with it. The rough outer armor was already dented with bullet marks, but the vehicle could still float up and down steadily as though it was on flat ground, appearing magically.


In the face of the slow-advancing enemies, the South African government forces were also calm in facing them. Under the cover of the slowly retreating armed armored vehicles, their infantry intensively shot the barrage to suppress the attack speed of the enemy’s vehicles.


At the same time, the armored vehicles launched a series of gunfire in a dense fire attack, and it was apparent that they wanted to destroy the enemy’s war chariots in one strong attack before smothering all of them with ease.


“There’s nothing to be afraid of if it’s only at such a level,” After observing the performance of the two sides in the midst of combat, Zhang Lisheng breathed a sigh of relief and murmured.


“Do you have any method to deal with it, young man?” Consultant Zheng who had somehow come close to him asked with a smile.


“With such a great wizard like you here, how can there possibly be any room for me to make my move? I merely feel that the combat ability of those supernatural realm’s people…”


“Young man, you’re still muttering right now. Unfortunately, I’ve already misjudged you twice, so I won’t be fooled by you once again.”


“Misjudged me twice?”


“When I was casting my technique in the hotel lobby, you’re the only one who is not afraid of it. At first, I thought I’ve come across a rare person and, at the time, I felt that you have a heart of transcendence that heads straight to witchcraft. Despite the fact that you’ve gone astray and started to practice martial art to strengthen your body, you could still lead to something in the future. That was why I gave you a pointer on the bus. However, it has never crossed my mind that you’ve actually transformed already…”


“So the treasure you said I have actually meant this?”


“What else, young man? Don’t look down on a heart of transcendence. Other than having a great opportunity that could not be forced, you’d also need a heart of transcendence if you want to Shed and Restore. Otherwise, everything would be futile.”


As Consultant Zheng was pointing up to Zhang Lisheng, a streak of long lightning flashed across the dark night sky. Under the illumination of the dazzling lightning, hundreds of oval-shaped aircraft emitting a faint gleam of light soared across the sky several thousands of kilometers above them in a seemingly slow speed that was actually fast.


“What are those in the sky?” Somebody in the group inadvertently noticed the strange aircraft in the sky and could not help but exclaim in astonishment in his state of extreme nervousness.


Zhang Lisheng froze before looking up into the air at the same time with Consultant Zheng. Both of them were in time to see two geese egg-like rotating aircraft that was exuding powerful steam under the shrouding of the clouds. It was breaking away from the group and swooping downwards before gradually turning bigger. In the end, they landed on the position of the South African government army with the size of an apartment.


After that, the aircraft silently blew up in a violent manner, spouting out countless of intense milky white steam, blowing the armed armored vehicles of the South African government army into pieces as though it was paper. Before the armored vehicles blew up, those black soldiers had already been steamed until the high temperature fully cooked them. They then blew up into piles of b.l.o.o.d.y mess due to their boiling blood.


“The bombs of these supernatural realm’s people are so powerful! Just over 100 pieces of it are enough to destroy half of Cape Town…” Zhang Lisheng, who could also sense the faintly warm and humid air surface with a meaty fragrance several thousands of meters away, muttered with a dumbfounded gaze. “This matter is really serious.”


“That’s right! Young man! We have bad luck indeed! To think we actually sneaked into Cape Town on the eve of the supernatural realm’s people’s general attack,” Consultant Zheng chuckled while clicking his tongue as he echoed in reply.
