Chapter 354 Arrival!
An hour later, on a stretch of Gobi desert.
"Still fighting?"
The Snow Night City Lord calmly looked at Sotun, who was kneeling on one knee not far away.
"Pooh!"
Sotun spat out a mouthful of blood and snorted coldly, "I lost! All the blame lies with me! Kill me or torture me, it's up to you! But I hope that, for the sake of our past brotherhood, you can spare my men! They haven't done anything yet."
"Who said I was going to kill you?" The Lord of Snow Night City approached slowly with a slight smile on his face.
"You're not going to kill me?" Sotun looked up abruptly, surprise in his eyes. "Why?"
The Lord of Snowy Night City stepped closer and said in a complicated tone, "We used to be brothers who relied on each other and shielded each other from harm! Have you forgotten all that?"
As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeve, revealing a deep, bone-revealing scar.
At that moment, a powerful enemy launched a sneak attack and slashed at Xueye's neck.
At the crucial moment, it was Sotun who blocked the blow with his back.
In the end, Xueye only grazed his arm, but it almost broke.
It's easy to imagine how serious Sotun's injuries were at the time.
As Xueye finished speaking, she gently helped Sotun up and said sincerely, "So no matter what you did, I never intended to kill you! Moreover... the once-in-a-century apocalyptic catastrophe is about to arrive! My brother, now is not the time for us brothers to fight amongst ourselves!"
"Apocalyptic catastrophe?"
Upon hearing this, Sotun trembled.
He stared at the Lord of Snow Night City, speechless for a long time.
Yes! The apocalyptic catastrophe is coming!
At that time, heaven and earth will collapse, and mountains and rivers will be shattered!
Countless monsters will pour out from the void rifts...
He might die on a snowy night, and he might die too!
If we are not careful, the entire city of ruins will be destroyed.
What's the point of fighting for power now? Is it even worth it?
Protecting the city of ruins, protecting their homeland, is the most important thing!
"I'm sorry! It was my fault!"
A moment later, in the main city, at the entrance of the city lord's mansion.
Under the anxious gazes of Xue Donglai, Xue Qingcheng, and the others, two figures appeared out of thin air.
"Father, are you alright?" Upon seeing that familiar tall, white-haired figure, Xue Qingcheng immediately rushed over and looked her father up and down.
"I'm fine, we're all fine." Xue Qingcheng looked gently at her daughter, then turned to look at Suotun, and said with a smile.
Sotun was beaten black and blue.
But Xueye showed mercy, and he only suffered minor injuries.
I just took a small bottle of luminous tree and mulberry, and my injuries will heal quickly.
"Sotun?" Xue Qingcheng then looked at Sotun beside her, her face full of vigilance.
Xue Donglai, Chen Beichen, and the others also looked on guard and surrounded Suotuen.
"No need to be nervous, we have reconciled." Lord Xueye waved his hand and said loudly, "Sotun is still my brother, Lord of the East City!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, their expressions complex.
but...
Although Sotun is ambitious and wants to become the lord of the main city, he is only in the probing stage.
He and his men haven't actually done anything yet.
Now that Lord Xueye has recovered, Sotun can no longer cause any trouble.
Moreover... Sotun is guilty.
But as Xueye said, the end times are coming!
In the face of disaster, all personal grudges should be put aside.
The City of Ruins needs Sotun; we mustn't kill him!
……
The following morning, in the Lord's Mansion in Dragon City.
"The four courses, namely Chinese, Arithmetic, Science, and Combat, are almost finished. Just need to double-check them." Xiao Yu was flipping through the beginner's tutorials he had recently written and nodded in satisfaction.
Yesterday, Honglian was urging him to finish compiling the tutorial as soon as possible.
After all, the children of Dragon City are different from those of other places.
The teaching building and dormitory building are very close to the glowing tree, so the children can bask in the glow every day.
In terms of both physical development and intelligence, they far surpass other children.
The lessons that were very complicated for the children in their previous lives were quickly learned by them.
Efficiency should be at least one or two times faster.
This also means that the academy's curriculum needs to be constantly updated.
However, having just obtained the Thousand Chance Umbrella, Xiao Yu became so engrossed in it that his focus shifted.
Today, he spent half a day re-editing and reorganizing it.
It is estimated that during this period in the City of Ruins, the basic curriculum will be completed and implemented.
"While I'm in the City of Ruins, I'll recruit more students," Xiao Yu thought to himself, a proud smile playing on his lips. "With more students, I'll need to recruit more teachers too. Let's see if there are any highly learned teachers in the City of Ruins..."
"Lord City Lord!"
Just then, a loud voice rang in my ears.
It was Chenlong's voice.
Xiao Yu immediately received the other party's telepathic message.
"Lord City Lord, we are still five kilometers away from the City of Ruins! Should we continue?"
"Five kilometers?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu's heart stirred slightly.
He thought about the purpose of coming to the city of ruins.
It wasn't just for the transaction; there were multiple other purposes.
for example...
The city of ruins is said to have been destroyed by a cataclysmic meteor shower.
There must be a large number of extraterrestrial meteorites underground, whose value is immeasurable.
There must be many secrets hidden beneath the city of ruins, which piqued Xiao Yu's interest.
And... teleportation arrays of formation masters, totem secret techniques, etc...
Xiao Yu wanted to know these things because they would greatly help the development of Dragon City.
"City of Ruins, I hope you won't disappoint me!"
Xiao Yu sighed inwardly, then used his mind to tell the Earth Dragon Turtle to stop, and then sent a telepathic message to Chen Long, "The Earth Dragon Turtle has stopped. Pass the word down and prepare for formal contact with the City of Ruins."
Others must carry a telepathic insect to transmit their voices, just like a cell phone.
But Xiao Yu is different.
Others can transmit messages to him, or they can transmit messages to the sound-transmitting insect.
He can transmit his voice with just a thought.
No medium is needed at all.
Because he possesses the mother insect's ability to transmit sound over long distances, he himself is the medium.
He can send messages to anyone he wants.
It can also monitor everyone's voice transmission, but it's unnecessary.
"Yes! Lord City Lord!"
The voice of Chenlong came to my ears.
There was also a shout.
Those were the sounds of various commands being issued.
There were also sounds of people running quickly.
……
On the other side, in the city of ruins, at the entrance of the main city's main mansion.
After a fierce battle between the Lord of Snowy Night City and the Lord of the East City, Sotun, the internal strife quickly came to an end.
Batu and his associates from the East City also rushed over to apologize.
They were ultimately treated leniently by the Lord of Snow Night City, who allowed them to perform meritorious service despite their sins during the apocalyptic catastrophe.
The internal strife in the city of ruins has come to an end.
But at this moment, everyone encountered a new crisis.
At this moment, at the entrance of the main city's mansion, a group of high-ranking officials said nervously, "Lord City Lord, the Earth Dragon Turtle is getting closer and closer to us, only five kilometers away now. We must be prepared!"
"No need! The City Lord of Dragon City will control that giant beast!" Xue Donglai said confidently.
"We cannot place our hopes on others..." a senior executive said solemnly.
After all... the Earth Dragon Turtle was too large, and every step it took caused the earth to shake.
Even the sixth or seventh-level experts were quite frightened, not to mention the common people.
Especially now, the city of ruins has just experienced an internal conflict, although there were no major losses.
But... everyone's on edge right now, things could explode at any moment.
However, the higher-ups hadn't finished speaking.
One of the individuals with the vision mutation rushed over, exclaiming in delight, "Lord City Lord, that giant beast has stopped advancing and has not caused any impact on our Ruins City!"
"This Lord of Dragon City certainly knows his limits!"
"Let's go, I want to pay a visit to this...City Lord Xiao Yu!"
