690 Purgatory (2)
“It’s fine if it awakened, but it swallowed my Sister Five-Finger!”
“It swallowed my Sister Five-Finger in front of me. What else could I do? I chased after her and entered the depths of this Cloth Forbidden. I narrowly escaped death inside and finally saved Sister Five-Finger!”
“But you also know my personality. Am I the kind of person who suffers losses?!”
“So, in my anger, I simply walked deeper and saw a large fellow whose heart was floating in the air. It should be reviving and its entire body emitted a fragrance. Hence, in order to take revenge, I swallowed a few mouthfuls of the soul heart it needed to revive.”
The captain coughed and placed his hands behind his back as he looked at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing looked at the captain. He recalled the cursing and extreme anger on that face earlier. It shouldn’t be as simple as swallowing a few mouthfuls.
Xu Qing could only believe half of the captain’s words due to the lack of information, but he could confirm that the captain indeed wasn’t the one who caused the chaos in the Cloth Forbidden.
However, he didn’t believe what the captain said at the end.
He felt that with the captain’s personality, he must have done something earth-shattering inside. Presumably, even the Holy Wave Race didn’t expect such an unpredictable variable to appear in their meticulous plan.
However, at the end of the day, the captain’s action caused the sealing to be easier.
Xu Qing swept his gaze across the short captain and slowly spoke.
“In that case, I’ll record it for you later. It can be considered a great contribution.”
When the captain heard this, he beamed with joy and laughed.
“That’s my junior brother. Haha, this is for you.”
The captain looked around and quickly took out a green crystal the size of an egg, stuffing it into Xu Qing’s hand.
This crystal was clearly sealed. At first glance, it looked like nothing special. Only by holding it in his hand could he sense the astonishing fluctuations contained in it. After Xu Qing caught it, his soul instinctively emitted a desire.
Even the god’s finger in D132’s Heavenly Palace shook.
Xu Qing’s expression changed.
“What is this?”
“Cough, do you know why I said that that big fellow in the Cloth Forbidden is brainless?” The captain smiled spuriously and winked at Xu Qing. He then lifted his chubby little hand and pointed at the green crystal.
“The reason’s this.”
Xu Qing gasped and looked at the captain in disbelief.
“Nothing, nothing. It’s just a small half of the demigod body that that big guy molded for itself.” The captain burped and his expression was incomparably arrogant. He quickly glanced at Xu Qing, wanting to see Xu Qing’s envy.
“Demigod?” Xu Qing asked.
“Of course, sigh, it’s just so-so. It’s not anything particularly good. Little Qing, you came late. If you had come earlier, I wouldn’t have eaten so much and only have this much left for you.”
The captain coughed. Although his tone was humble, his face showed clear smugness.
“Come, show Senior Brother your envious expression.”
Xu Qing nodded and made his gaze fixated. He then opened his mouth as though he was shocked. After putting on this expression, he kept the green crystal with a clear conscience and prepared to continue absorbing it on the way.
“Sigh, Little Qing, your expression isn’t right. Here, add a click of the tongue and take a sharp breath.” The captain was not satisfied and immediately corrected him.
Xu Qing felt that it made sense and tried. However, he couldn’t do it well no matter what.
Seeing that Xu Qing was so obedient, the captain felt smug inwardly. However, he shook his head on the surface.
“You need to train more!”
The captain and Xu Qing got off the huge ship. When they walked toward the teleportation array, he stretched and casually asked through voice transmission.
“By the way, Little Qing, did you gain anything during this period of time?”
As he spoke, the captain stepped into the teleportation array.
“It’s nothing much. I just obtained a god’s body.”
Xu Qing calmly transmitted his voice and also stepped in.
As the formation rumbled, the captain suddenly turned his head and seemed to shout something, but Xu Qing couldn’t hear clearly. He only saw the captain’s expression as if he had taken a sharp breath, followed by widened eyes and an incredulous look. He even bit down on his tongue slightly from the shock.
“Oh, so this is clicking the tongue?” Xu Qing fell into deep thought.
At the next instant, the light of the array formation enveloped the surroundings, drowning the two of them and the cultivators from the other two provinces.
In the Yutian province.
The territory of this province was long and narrow. On its left was the Linlan Province where the western battlefield was located, and on the right was the Taihe Province which was where the northern front line was at.
The climate was mainly warm and humid all year round.
This climate also caused the bodies of the various races in the Yutian Province to be much larger than the cultivators of the other provinces, many being 50 feet tall like the Full Spirit Race members which Qingqin ate a lot of.
The entire province was filled with rainforests with some mountains. Within these mountains, it was common to find one volcano for every ten mountains, although eruptions were not frequent.
Ever since the war began, the Yutian Province has been primarily used for logistical purposes due to its strategic location. Unless there were specific instructions, the resources were gathered and allocated from Yutian Province.
To a certain extent, this place could be considered a part of the war zone, and the Law Palace was in charge of guarding it.
Although the majority of the Holy Wave Race’s army was effectively contained at the border, there were some smaller forces that had managed to infiltrate the three provinces due to the loss of territory in the northern region prior to the war and despite the coordinated efforts of the allied forces and the Taboo barrier set up by the capital city.
They were adept at hiding and possessed magic treasures that could temporarily shield them from the Taboo barrier. As a result, it was difficult to eradicate them unless significant efforts were made to search and hunt them down.
