Chapter 700: Tempted
Translator: Law Editor: Hitesh
"Strike back?" Si Wen Ming's eyes suddenly shone as he laughed out loud and said, "Right, Earl Yao's right! Just now, I saw only less than ten-thousand non-humankind beings managing to flee out, and almost all of them were injured severely. It's a great opportunity for us to strike back!"
Straightening his body, Si Wen Ming struggled back up from the ground. He took out a bottle of magic pills and poured into his mouth. After that, a strong sense of power spread out from his body. Looking at Huaxu Lie and the others who were still lying on the ground, Si Wen Ming shouted in a resonant voice, "Brothers, get up, get up, let's strike back!"
Huexu Lie, Lie Mountain Kang and the others growled out together while they struggled up from the ground one after another, then all took out magic pills and swallowed them.
The group of elite human beings, who were all exhausted and severely injured just now, suddenly roared out. The power of magic medicines they had taken began releasing inside their bodies, generating new powers bit by bit, boosting the consumed spirit blood up speedily. Their muscles began squirming quickly and their broken bones merged back together. From time to time, metal-clashing noise came from their bodies.
"Strike back? Earl Yao, what do you want?" said River Earl, who had a deep slash extending from the forehead to the lower abdomen that nearly split his body into two. It also had lingering power streams sizzling around it, disabling the wound from healing itself.
Swallowing a bottle of life-saving medicine, River Earl walked towards Ji Hao with big steps, pointed at those exhausted human warriors and yelled loudly, "Strike back? With what? That Chi You is still alive, and those non-humankind beings can still control the power of the great Dao of this world."
Scornfully glancing at Ji Hao, River Earl continued in a low yet still clear voice, "Do you want to earn more credits? Earl Yao, Ji Hao, even if you want to earn more credits for Si Wen Ming, you can't bet with the lives of all these warriors."
Gong Gong Wuyou immediately picked up the topic, let out a teasing laugh and said, "Gong Sun Yuan, just look at them, just open your eyes and look at what kind of people they are!"
Gong Gong Wuyou elegantly took out a jade flute, fiddled with it while continuing, "In my opinion, we should now stay in this place. With all these local people to work for us, if the three layers of fence wall were not enough, we can build six layers, nine layers, a hundred layers!"
Before the others said anything, Gong Gong Wuyou pointed at those local people, who had now been crying in sadness because of the death of their families and friends, and kept yelling, "The lives of these barbarians have no worth. Let them work day and night and build us another fort, a greater fort. Then, we surely won't be afraid of those non-humankind beings, even if they march in again!"
Hearing these cruel words said by Gong Gong Wuyou, Elder Destiny, who was also injured badly in the great explosion that happened just now, burst with a raging growl.
"This Lord, my people are..."
"Shut up, you old thing! Are you even qualified to talk in here? Just behave yourself, do whatever I say. Maybe you can still have a chance to become appendages of my clan. If you dare to disobey, I can easily destroy your kind... but what can you do about it?"
Elder Destiny widely popped his eyes out in anger and suddenly, a stream of blood ejected out from his mouth.
"Gong Gong Wuyou, you shut up! Without the help of Elder Destiny and his people, you wouldn't even have the chance to come into Fallen Land to hide from the danger!" Ji Hao pointed at Gong Gong Wuyou and growled out harshly.
Gong Gong Wuyou instantly took a few steps forward and walked up to Ji Hao. He rudely knocked Ji Hao's head with the jade flute held in his hand and yelled, "Earl Yao, what did you say? Are you showing your mercy to these barbarians because they built a few crappy fence walls for you? Pah!"
Turned around, Gong Gong Wuyou continued yelling, "People, Earl Yao thinks that we should all leave Fallen Land to fight against those non-humankind beings by risking our lives! Hehe, but in my opinion, those non-humankind beings can no longer do anything."
Facing the group of elite human beings, Gong Gong Wuyou started a long speech regarding his opinion. Fighting against those non-humankind beings under the risk of being crushed by the power of great Dao of Pan Xi world was no better than staying in Fallen Land, building another sturdy fort for the long-term fight against them. He tried his best to tell the others that everyone was so exhausted by now, and even if many of them had taken magic medicines, it was difficult for them to recover to the peak state within a short span of time. Ji Hao wasn't considering the actual situation of everybody else, but still wanted to delude the others and make them leaven Fallen Land, to go chase those non-humankind beings. Ji Hao wanted nothing but to earn credits for Si Wen Ming, and he was pushing the others into a deathly danger to earn credits for Si Wen Ming and himself.
Gong Gong Wuyou's words sounded quite reasonable, especially as the forces from many Northern Wasteland Clans remained relatively intact and some Northern Wasteland elites kicked up a major fuss upon what he said. Hearing Gong Gong Wuyou and those Northern Wasteland people, many neutral warriors all started to have other thoughts. They glanced at Ji Hao with doubting looks while silently wondering if Ji Hao truly wanted to pave a broad path leading to the throne of the human Emperor for Si Wen Ming with their blood?
Ji Hao coldly looked at Gong Gong Wuyou who had been just talking and talking. Gong Gong Wuyou must have had his own purpose, but whatever that was, Ji Hao had his own idea as well. Turning around, Ji Hao looked at Si Wen Ming and the others, who had already regained a small half of their consumed power, then pointed at Ao Li and Feng Qinxin, who were in the distance.
"Ninth Prince, Young Master Feng, do you dare to go out and chase those non-humankind beings with me?" asked Ji Hao loudly, "Indeed, those non-humankind beings can control the great Dao of nature of this world, but they are now all injured severely. This is the moment when they are the weakest, and as long as we combine our power and launch a surprise attack on them, we will have a big chance to kill them all."
Ao Li stood up, looked at Ji Hao lazily and said, "We also have a chance to be killed by them. Therefore, I think Gong Gong Wuyou is not wrong. We can simply stay in here, why should we risk our lives and go out?"
Feng Qinxin remained silent with a sulky face while looking at those red fragments in her hands. The phoenix sky-flaming magic formation was broken, and the spirit treasure controlling the magic formation was shattered by the great counterforce. Because of this, Feng Qinxin now had a really bad mood.
Ji Hao looked at Ao Li and Feng Qinxin and said, "When Chi You rushed out, I saw that he was bleeding all the way... he must be seriously injured. His armor, shield and blade are all pre-world supreme treasures."
Ao Li and Feng Qinxin's eyes shone suddenly.
"And that Pan Xi, if we can capture a few non-humankind beings alive and make them tell us how to control Pan Xi..."
Ao Li and Feng Qinxin glanced at each other.
Ji Hao then continued in a bland tone, "Not to mention anything else, the destructive explosion caused by that huge cannon, you all witnessed it... even a million Jia Clan warriors were blown up into ashes. But still, hundreds of them managed to flee from such a destructive explosion, that means their protective treasures must be extraordinary."
Sighing lightly, Ji Hao then said, "Since you all don't want this easy money, I will go for it myself. Whoever wants to come with me, just come!"
Transforming into a golden beam of light, Ji Hao rushed towards the exit of Fallen Land.
Before Si Wen Ming and the other elite human beings followed up, Ao Li and Feng Qinxin had already gathered their people and hurriedly rushed out after Ji Hao.
