Chapter 162 - Chapter162

Outside the tent, yellow sand was everywhere. The originally peaceful tribe was now in chaos, with cries and wails. More than a dozen tents by the roadside were overturned, in a mess. Now Zhou Peng knew why none of the dozens of tents were in good condition. In the center of the tribe was a circular square, set up for holding tribal meetings usually. At this time, five Demonic Cavalry Armor warriors were standing there, looking proud, like noblemen looking down on these lowly commoners, full of disdain. Fully clad in black iron armor, only the eyes could be seen. The eyes were full of arrogance and contempt. Looking at the tattered tents around, there was a strong sense of disgust. The evil and gloomy aura released from the black battle armor was very oppressive. The black spear in their hands flashed with a cold light. The demonic mounts under them were thick and powerful, with strong limbs. A pungent smell of sulfuric acid sprayed from their nostrils. There was also a faint red glow flashing inside their bodies. The two sharp rhinoceros horns above their noses were extremely sharp and terrifying. Flame rhinoceros, a domesticated magical beast. Its physical defense was extremely strong, and its strength had reached the peak of fifth-level magical beasts. The demonic mounts were fierce, and the armored warriors were even stronger. Just the aura on them was probably at the Void Entrance realm. "Luo Yue, get out here." The armored warrior in the middle spurred his flame rhinoceros forward a step. As the armored warrior roared, the flame rhinoceros also let out a low roar. Sparks sprayed from its mouth, extremely ferocious. Outside the square, some powerful tribal warriors gritted their teeth, clenched their fists, and stared fixedly at the armored warriors in the square. Their eyes were filled with intense hatred. If it weren't for fearing the power behind them, they would rush up and tear them to pieces. "What are you looking at?" "Hurry up and call Luo Yue. If you delay my business, I'll take the lives of your entire clan. You bunch of lowly commoners." "Humph!" The armored warrior snorted coldly, extremely arrogant. Looking at the tribe warriors who were glaring at him, he was not afraid at all. He didn't even bother to look at them. In the Underworld Sea territory, those who went against them would only end up dead. Who didn't know that the Demonic Cavalry Armor were the messengers of the Underworld Sea King Luo Yu? Going against them was going against the Underworld Sea King. Such a small tribe could be wiped out in minutes. "It turns out that the messenger has come in person. I didn't welcome you in time. Please forgive me." Luo Yue came up and knelt on one knee, extremely respectful. But in his heart, there was boundless hatred. His fists were clenched tightly. "Humph, Luo Yue, you have a big air. You actually made us wait for you. I think you are tired of living." The armored warrior cursed. With a squeeze of his legs, the flame rhinoceros strode forward a few steps and walked directly in front of Luo Yue. The sparks sprayed heavily from its nostrils directly onto Luo Yue's face. Luo Yue's face immediately turned red. The sparks splashed on his face and immediately burned him. "Clatter..." Luo Yue's teeth were clenched so hard that they made a clattering sound. He endured the burn on his face and still kept a smile on his face. Respectfully, he said, "Please forgive me, messenger. I will definitely not make this mistake again." "Hold it in." "Luo Yue, you must endure." At this time, in Luo Yue's heart, the anger was like a volcanic eruption. It was completely unstoppable. His fingers dug into his palm, and bright red blood dripped down. His hatred was overwhelming. Under extreme restraint, thinking that the lives of the entire clan might be lost because of his momentary anger, his state of mind suddenly calmed down. "Cut, not fun." The armored warrior snorted coldly. Then, with a swing of his spear, a sharp edge swept out. "This is your punishment. If you make this mistake again, I'll take your dog's life." Luo Yue didn't dare to resist and even less dared to dodge. As soon as the spear edge swept across his face, a long wound immediately appeared. Blood seeped out from the wound. Luo Yue didn't wipe it. "Clan leader." "Clan leader..." People in the square kept shouting. That suppressed atmosphere shocked Zhou Peng. Looking at Luo Yue, the anger in his heart was also aroused. The aura burst out instantly. The armored warrior was slightly shaken. A glint of red light flashed in his eyes and he cursed, "Do you want to rebel?" "You lowly commoners, you don't know life from death. Do you want to rebel?" A gloomy aura was released from the armored warrior. Luo Yue's heart trembled. Immediately, he kowtowed and said, "I dare not." Then, when he lowered his head, he looked at the tribal warriors around him, indicating that they must not get angry. There was silence all around. The hatred became even stronger. The armored warrior narrowed his eyes and let out a cold laugh. He said, "You lowly commoners wouldn't dare even if you had ten thousand times the courage. To resist is to court death." "Luo Yue, I came this time to inform you that this month you have to pay fifteen thousand crystal cores. Prepare them in three days." At this point, the armored warrior's tone changed and became extremely gloomy. "If you can't complete it, your entire clan will die." The word "die" was emphasized especially hard, faintly flashing with boundless killing intent. "What? Fifteen thousand?" "Do you think we can create crystal cores?" "Don't push us too far..." Angry complaints erupted in the square. Ten thousand crystal cores were their limit. They couldn't complete fifteen thousand. Moreover, there were only three days left this month. It was impossible to complete it. There was only one possibility for this move. The Demonic Cavalry was looking for an excuse to wipe out their tribe. Zhou Peng was shocked in his heart and already understood the meaning in the armored warrior's words. Listening to their angry roars, the armored warrior laughed loudly. "Luo Yue, you only have three days. If you can't complete it within three days, there will no longer be such a lowly tribe like yours in the Underworld Sea territory. Hahaha..." The extremely arrogant laughter pierced through the air. Then, the five people shouted loudly. The flame rhinoceros under them charged out fiercely, not caring about the commoners around at all. How fierce was the flame rhinoceros? The commoners hit by it were immediately sent flying more than ten feet and couldn't get up. In an instant, it was in a mess. Luo Yue stood up and looked back. His eyes were like spitting fire. The hatred was extremely powerful. In the yellow sand, Zhou Peng could clearly sense the explosion of aura within Luo Yue's body. That kind of power was astonishing. It was unimaginable how strong the pressure in his heart was? He sighed inwardly and said secretly, "Fifteen thousand crystal cores. It's too difficult..." "Clan leader, let's fight them." "Yes, let's fight them." "Fifteen thousand. How can we complete it in three days? This is clearly an excuse to eliminate our tribe. Clan leader, rather than this, it's better to fight them to the death." Luo Yue frowned, his face solemn. But in his heart, he was extremely painful. Why didn't he want to fight? But there were only a hundred warriors left in the tribe, and half of them were injured. With their strength, they didn't even have the qualification to fight. To fight would only make the clansmen die faster. Luo Yue had no choice. His heart was extremely painful. Fifteen thousand crystal cores were like a huge mountain, pressing on him so hard that he couldn't breathe. Zhou Peng stood by and watched all this. He thought secretly, "Resisting may accelerate death, but not resisting won't live long either. Who can complete such requirements?" "The only way is to kill!" Zhou Peng's way is to kill. The entire afternoon, the tribe was in turmoil. Zhou Peng followed the old woman to treat the injured one by one. Zhou Peng relied on his third-level alchemy skills to refine some strengthening and healing pills for the old woman. This was all he could do now. In the afternoon, Zhou Peng's alchemy skills improved slightly and were about to reach level four. But he wasn't happy at all. The situation of the tribe was even more serious than he had imagined. Almost half of them were seriously injured, and most of them were tribal warriors with good strength. In this situation, Zhou Peng vaguely understood Luo Yue's concerns. There were too many restraints. There was no way to fight. In any case, the people of this tribe had saved him. Wherever he could help, Zhou Peng did his best without reservation. "Old granny, is there a woman named Hong Yue in this tribe?" After following the old woman back to the tent, Zhou Peng asked. The old woman's expression changed suddenly. She became sharp and stared directly at Zhou Peng. She said, "Who are you? How do you know Hong Yue?" Zhou Peng was a little shocked. The old woman's sudden expression made his heart tremble slightly. He told the truth. "The city lord Zi Yue asked me to come." "What?" The old woman was greatly shocked. Immediately, she grabbed Zhou Peng's arm and became excited. She said, "You... Are you talking about 'Hai Zi Yue', the woman with purple hair and purple pupils?" Zhou Peng nodded and said, "Yes, it's her." "Thank goodness. Princess Zi Yue is still alive." The old woman was extremely excited. Her hands were trembling and tears couldn't stop flowing. Immediately, she grabbed Zhou Peng's arm and said, "Come with me." The old woman grabbed Zhou Peng's arm tightly as if afraid that he would run away. The two came to the clan leader's tent. Inside the tent was deadly silent. Looking at the old woman, Luo Feng was stunned and said, "Mother, why are you here?" Luo Yue also looked over. Looking at the excited mood of the old woman and then at Zhou Peng, he said, "What's going on?" The old woman looked at the several respected elders around. She swallowed and said excitedly, "Clan leader, I want to talk to you alone." "Mother, this is such a crucial time. We are discussing important matters." Luo Feng got up and walked to the old woman's side, anxiously. The old woman pulled Zhou Peng forward and ignored Luo Feng. Looking at Luo Yue, she said, "It's a very important matter." Several respected elders around were slightly angry. What was this old woman doing barging into the tent? In her words, she even asked them to leave. At such a crucial moment, how could they let her make trouble? Luo Yue's expression changed. Looking at the nervous and excited expression of the old woman, he said, "You all go out first. We'll discuss it later." "Yes." Everyone was secretly annoyed. Many people glared at the old woman and were resentful. They walked out. As soon as the old woman and others walked out, she immediately walked to Luo Yue's side and whispered softly, "Princess Zi Yue is still alive. This was like a thunderbolt. Luo Yue's eyes widened suddenly and he jumped up instantly. Looking at the old woman extremely seriously, he said, "What? Is it true?" "It's true. She also has more than a dozen maidservants around her." Zhou Peng took over and said. Those more than a dozen maidservants were all extremely beautiful. How could he forget? Looking at their excited expressions, he was shocked. Secretly guessing that Zi Yue had an extremely high status in their hearts. And they probably thought that Zi Yue had died thousands of years ago. "Princess Zi Yue is still alive!" Luo Yue's face showed a look of joy. Immediately, he asked, "Did she say when she would return to the Underworld Sea territory? Lead us to resist Luo Yu's tyranny?" "No, she didn't say that. But she asked me to bring her sister Hong Yue back." Zhou Peng said. Then he added, "She seemed to have said that they couldn't go back." "Hong Yue!" Luo Yue's face suddenly darkened and showed a painful expression. The old woman beside him also sighed slightly and said softly, "Hong Yue is already dead." "Dead?" Hearing this news, Zhou Peng involuntarily took a step back. His heart was shocked. His mind went blank. Dead? How can he complete the task?!.
