Chapter 513 Brief Message, Arriving (3k)
Because she learned that the other party could use electronic products, Su Jiu strangely discovered that there was a signal in this broken place. She checked the location with her mobile phone and was stunned. She was in the mountains not far from a town with human habitation.
This means that she had made a big detour and was actually swimming in the direction of the city. The reason why it was not discovered here was largely due to the original owner’s mental power concealment and her perennial home life.
“This is information from Li Yi’s side.”
Before she could be surprised, she found two more text messages on her phone. The remarks above – [Carrier Pigeon] – were also their code name. The information obtained seemed to deviate slightly from the main plot of the book—
[This is Carrier Pigeon, we have entered the Snow Demon territory. This place is like a village area where humans and Snow Demons coexist. Through some half-demon bloodline people, we have temporarily learned information about the target, but at the same time, we have also aroused suspicion from the villagers.]
[In the eyes of the locals, the target is called the “Holy Emperor”. It’s very strange that a human is being made an emperor and a saint by demonic beasts. According to the villagers, because he needs to assist the Third Princess in her bid for the throne, he has already gone to the central ancient capital region.]
“Bai Ming went to the central Snow Demon ancient capital region, and Bai Qianyu, the only one who can contact him, is missing. The Snow Demon ancient capital region belongs to the royalist faction and maintains a gentle attitude towards humans…”
Her eyes narrowed slightly. Su Jiu thought for a moment, exhaled, and a look of solemnity appeared on her face as she typed into her phone:
[Go to the ancient capital region and find a way to meet the target!]
[The war between Snow Demons cannot be easily initiated, at least not now. Otherwise, the entire Bear Country will fall into extreme cold due to various regional influences. Suffering is the breeding ground for extreme beliefs, which will increase the number of human believers for the Ancient God Sect.]
Old Herber and Aisha, who looked very much like the Fourth Princess, went to the Grand Prince’s territory. That area was not very friendly to humans. Su Jiu planned to go there herself after completing the city defense this time to see if she could delay the war.
Since the information was sent instantaneously, the other party was unlikely to reply so quickly. Su Jiu looked at another message, which was remarked as [Gugu Bird]. She watched the message silently, but felt an inexplicable warmth in her heart. Chen Jia’er had actually done it—
[This is Gugu Bird. The northbound team is divided into five major branches. The first is the Dragon Country military, the second is the Dragon Hunters, followed by the various guilds, and the last is the teams of noble families and individuals.
[Only individual teams can act independently. Our team is mixed with individual teams and intervenes from the westernmost city. There are two High-Rank Battle Kings and three Initial Stage Battle Kings. We should be able to cope with the situation in one city.]
After a moment of silence, Su Jiu sent—
[Reduce the number of people on standby. There may be Ferrymen in the cities. Try to connect with those scattered individuals. We need to unite to form a strong organized force.]
This lineup was originally enough to sweep through some cities with ease, but from the information transmitted by Li Ziwei, there would inevitably be Ferrymen in these large cities. Ferrymen were equivalent to the shadows of the Red Robes, with strength ranging from Demigod Level to Initial Stage War God.
The other side quickly replied with a “1”, and then their avatar completely darkened, as if they didn’t use this account often.
Su Jiu looked at the reply and then looked up at the crack that had opened in the sky. The sky had darkened. She had a strange feeling that this was the first time fighting the Red Robes.
It was different from before. This time, it wasn’t about personal combat power. She could kill weaker Demigods, but in a conflict of this scale, she was just a faint spark.
“Hey! Little friend, I’m done over here. The feathers have been infused with power.”
Just as Su Jiu was lost in thought and sighing, a powerful voice came over.
Su Jiu turned her head and saw that the phantom from before had almost solidified. His face was smiling like an old chrysanthemum, and he held a feather in his hand. Two different elemental substances floated above the feather.
“Do I just need to use this to attack the central head of the Ice Sky Vulture?”
Without hesitation, Su Jiu stepped forward and took the feather. She found that the feeling it gave her was completely different from before. It was hard in texture and mixed with powerful strength.
“As long as you poke the back of its neck when it enlarges, you can forcibly turn it into human form. Once it is in human form, the special energy in the feather will limit its strength to around Half-King Level.”
The phantom nodded, his gaze fell on the feather, and he sighed with some inexplicable regret, “If possible, spare Little Vulture’s life. She… after all, she has been with me for so long.”
“Spare her… that’s no problem.”
Hearing the phantom’s words, Su Jiu readily agreed. After all, she wasn’t someone who harbored hatred for evil, and if the other party’s strength was indeed limited, she had a bold idea…
She opened her phone and searched for what Ice Vulture-type demonic beasts would likely turn into when converted into weapons—
[Ice Vulture-type belongs to the cold hawk family… it is highly likely to become a crossbow, in individual cases a repeating crossbow or a small chance a single-handed sword, and the arrows depend on the owner’s strength.]
“As long as she’s alive, that’s fine. As for how to kill other demonic beasts, that depends on your mood. And I can feel the frost appearing outside the mountain; they should have started their move.”
After receiving the reply, the phantom smiled, clearly quite satisfied with Su Jiu’s answer. She couldn’t sense Su Jiu’s aura, considering that her clone had already recovered to the High-Rank Battle King level.
This was enough to show that the other party’s strength was definitely not simple!
And humans are not plants; how can they be without feelings? Moreover, they had lived together for so long, like a daughter, the Ice Vulture.
“The situation is urgent, I’ll be going first.”
With a light laugh, Su Jiu waved her hand, put away the feather, and then her delicate body moved, flashing into the crack in the sky. Finally, with a light step on the void, a vortex rippled, and her figure turned into a stream of light, quickly disappearing at the edge of the sky.
Standing alone in the forest, the phantom gazed blankly in the direction Su Jiu disappeared. After a long time, she sighed lightly, feeling that this time, perhaps Little Vulture and she would have to part.
Even if Su Jiu didn’t kill her, the Bear Country powerhouses from the center would come here to encircle and suppress her. By then, escaping would truly be impossible. She hoped she would go to a faraway place.
And thinking of this, the phantom felt a hint of anticipation. It would be even better if Su Jiu took Little Vulture with her. She could feel Su Jiu’s “old and cunning” nature. If Little Vulture followed her, she would definitely not suffer losses, and might even temper her disposition.
Therefore, she deliberately added so many restrictions in the energy.
“To see the flame of my feather, yet to be so calculative, what an interesting person… alas, wait, I remember that supplies should be placed here, right?”
…
High in the sky, a stream of light was rapidly advancing like chasing the moon and stars. Its astonishing speed attracted the attention of the demonic beasts in the cold currents. When their mental power was extended, they felt a sharp pain in their brains, as if being stabbed by a sword…
As a result, a strange scene occurred in the cold currents in the sky. Black shadows fell from the sky to the ground, forming a peculiar existence of “demonic beast rain.”
And the demonic beast rain almost followed Su Jiu’s movement, continuing to fall until the demonic beasts were too afraid to probe, and then she slowly decelerated.
Under such urgent circumstances, Su Jiu’s speed was almost at full throttle. Within a few minutes, she reached the nearest town.
Looking down from above, the town was almost empty. The higher floors of the buildings showed signs of damage by demonic beasts, and there were even quite a few bloodstains. There were also some demon corpses on the road.
“There seems to have been a battle here. It should be the official personnel evacuating the civilians. These demonic beasts are the vanguard. The common people are probably fine.”
Su Jiu landed on the roof of a small Western-style house, took out her phone, and opened the map app to identify the direction. Then, she flashed into the sky without stopping, heading towards the distant destination.
“Little girl, there’s a big guy appearing in the area ahead. Don’t fly too high-profile!”
However, less than half a minute after she flew past, a loud roar came from not far below. The roar echoed throughout the street, and Su Jiu also heard it.
She looked down slightly and saw a Caucasian woman standing in front of a garage. She held a large saber in her hand and wore a white combat suit. On the chest of the suit, there was a silver medal with a “Raging Bear” head as its emblem.
“Snow Guard?”
Su Jiu recognized this label and then slowly descended. She needed to find someone to understand the situation, and this Snow Guard should be able to provide some important information.
Slightly slowing down, she landed not far from the garage. At this time, she discovered that there seemed to be several people inside the garage, including civilians and injured Snow Guards.
They were hiding here, likely because of the monster they mentioned?
“Quick! Quick, come in! There might be War God Level demonic beasts behind us!”
Just as Su Jiu landed, the white woman leaped forward, ignoring too many things, and pulled her into the warehouse. Then, she activated what seemed to be a formation to conceal their aura. Her movements were swift, as if they were done in one go.
“Why are you all here? The main city should be only a few kilometers away from here?” Su Jiu asked, feeling a bit confused. Were these refugees who couldn’t escape?
“We can’t get to the main city. We fled from the road in the middle of the main city. There’s a very strong Battle King guarding there.”
Hearing Su Jiu’s question, the white woman replied breathlessly, her face slightly flushed with unhealthy redness, indicating some internal injuries. She then looked at her teammates.
“The Grand Commander, in order to cover us while evacuating the residents, is now fighting to the death with several other commanders. However, on the way of retreat, we encountered new demonic beasts, so we had to disperse and hide…”
Following her gaze towards the injured and refugees, Su Jiu instinctively used the Spring Bloom Technique. Blood-red leaves descended from the air. The injured didn’t have time to be surprised by the color of the leaves. As their wounds touched the leaves, their injuries immediately stopped.
“This level of vitality… are you a Grand Priest?”
The white woman’s body stiffened, and her face showed a look of astonishment. Then, she quickly turned her astonishment into an awkwardness that was difficult to speak—
“You could say that.”
Su Jiu smiled. She was still at the Half-King Level. To be precise, she couldn’t be called a Grand Priest, but her abilities had already approached the forbidden techniques of War God Level Priests.
The white woman seemed to have thought for a long time before tentatively asking:
“Are you willing to intervene in this demonic beast war? As for the reward, the Snow Guard can report it to the central authorities for you.”
