Chapter 211: There Was Another Universe
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The tall and majestic building was like a palace, and the main door towered high above the clouds.
When the man in black reached the door, he was stopped by two men in white who were guarding the entrance.
The man in black got down from the tiger’s back, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and bowed to the men in white. “Black Slave has something to report to Her Majesty.”
The man in white did not move. Instead, he let the leopard, which was squatting at the side, walk forward and sniff the man in black. After confirming that there was no problem, they opened a small corner door under the main door to let the man in black in.
The man in black walked all the way to the top floor of the palace and knelt down before the tightly shut palace hall door.
“Black Slave has something to report to Her Majesty.”
The two men in red did not even look at the man in black. They turned around and entered the hall.
After a while, the red-robed man walked out and gestured for the black-robed man to enter the hall.
The biack-robed man did not get up. Instead, he crawled into the hall on his knees.
The hall was resplendent, but the black-robed man did not even dare to raise his head. “Black Slave hereby pays his respects, Your Majesty.”
A figure sat in the main hall, looking down at Black Slave on the floor. There was no emotion in her eyes. “What’s the matter?”
“Your Majesty, Black Guardian, who went to the Tiger Base to collect food and people yesterday, has not returned yet. However, the little beloved ones he brought there have returned by themselves.”
The sharp nails of the person sitting at the high throne scratched her forehead, and there was a hint of interest in her eyes. “Black Guardian is getting more and more disobedient. Why didn’t he come back on time?”
“I don’t know if Your Majesty wants to send someone to investigate?”
“Go then. Bring Black Guardian back. 1 want to punish him properly.”
As soon as she finished speaking, a man in red walked up to the throne. He opened the container in his hand to let the person on the throne take a look. “Your Majesty, Black Guardian is dead.”
“Dead… Hmm, interesting. They actually dared to touch my people. They are quite bold. Go. Instruct Gray Guardian to bring people to take a look and see what’s going on.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Although everyone was happy that the Tiger Base had won the first battle against the Sky Alpha Cult, they did not dare to let their guard down. After all, people were instinctively wary and afraid of the unknown.
Su Ying sat cross-legged on a chair to circulate her energy. Since she didn’t know her opponent’s true strength, she could only continue to strengthen herself.
As long as she was strong enough, no matter what kind of opponent she faced, she would feel self-assured.
After circulating her energy, Su Ying felt her entire body heat up. Even though she was only wearing a thin cotton jacket in the snowy weather, she didn’t feel cold at all.
Su Ying walked up to the tiger and her almond-shaped eyes stared straight into its eyes.
She realized that after the man in black died, this beast became submissive. Indeed, animals knew better than humans what was meant by the strong preying on the weak.
Su Ying took out a syringe that she had prepared beforehand and inserted it into the tiger’s vein, drawing out several tubes of blood.
She wanted to know why they were resistant to the tranquilizing drug. It was fine if one or two of them were like this, but it would be abnormal if all of them were like this. Therefore, she wanted to take the opportunity when she did not have to guard the gate to study this abnormality.
The tiny needle didn’t hurt or itch when it pierced into the tiger’s body, and the tiger didn’t really feel anything.
After Su Ying finished drawing blood, she went into her interspatial store to study it, and didn’t come out for a long time.
Lin Zhuyu walked out of the kitchen and looked at the closed door of the outhouse. She muttered to herself, “Did Mistress have a stomachache? Why hasn’t she come out after going in for so long?”
Bai Shuang said when she heard her, “Not necessarily. Mistress always takes a long time in the outhouse. But today, she’s been in there for a particularly long time.”
“Surely… she hasn’t fallen asleep inside?”
The two of them exchanged a look. In the outhouse… can one fall asleep?
Just as the two of them were wondering whether they should go in and wake her up, Su Ying opened the outhouse door and walked out.
She frowned when she saw the two girls standing outside the door and staring straight in the direction of the outhouse. “You girls want to use it?”
The two of them shook their heads.
“Then why are you two standing here when you don’t want to use it? It smells good here?”
Lin Zhuyu was speechless.
Bai Shuang was also speechless.
“Mistress, why were you in there for so long?”
Su Ying blinked. Had she been in there for a long time? She looked up at the sun. It seemed like she had been in there for the whole morning. “Oh, 1 fell asleep accidentally.”
The two of them pouted and looked like they were about to cry.
“Mistress, you must be really tired. You can even fall asleep in the outhouse.”
“That’s right, Mistress. You… you return to your room quickly. Quickly return to your room and rest there. I will inform you when it’s time to eat.”
Su Ying had been doing research for the whole morning, and her eyes were indeed a little sore. “Alright. I’ll go and sleep for a while. If there’s anything, just call me.”
“Alright.”
Su Ying turned around and went back to her room to lie down.
Meanwhile, a group of gray-robed men was leading a group of wild beasts toward the Tiger Base.
The days in winter were exceptionally short. The setting sun had just dipped down when the sky darkened in the blink of an eye.
A bonfire was lit at the gate of the Tiger Base to provide illumination.
Xiao Jin stood on the gate wall and observed his surroundings vigilantly.
Soon, he felt a strange aura.
He picked up his binoculars and saw a group of people slowly moving towards them.
“Everyone, be on alert. Someone is coming this way.”
Upon hearing this, Number Five hurriedly ran to pass on the message. Thereafter, everyone was on high alert.
Xiao Jin took out a bow and arrow from the side, slowly drew the bow to its maximum extent, and aimed it at the person walking over.
When the other party approached just now, he had already seen their appearance clearly through the binoculars. This person was dressed in a similar fashion to the men in black last night, but the difference was that the people who came tonight were wearing gray-colored robes.
After the other party came within the shooting range, Xiao Jin’s fingertips let loose, and the arrow flew out with a swift and fierce momentum.
Swoosh! An unguarded man in gray was pierced through the chest by the arrow. After his body stiffened momentarily, he toppled over onto the ground.
The sudden attack put all the gray-robed men on their guard.
“Be alert!”
The gray-robed men stopped in their tracks. Clearly, they had not realized that they were trapped in the array formation.
After the black-robed man destroyed the array formation last night, Xiao Jin immediately changed the position of the array formation today and set it up again. Although the setup was a little rushed, the final array formation still worked.
Xiao Jin took out another arrow. This time, he drew the bow to the max without any hesitation.
The covert arrow tore through the air, overflowing with killing intent.
The man in gray felt the murderous aura approaching and immediately pulled out his weapon to block the strike.
However, when the arrow got closer and closer, he was surprised to find that his movements actually slowed down. He wanted to dodge with all his might, but he was eventually still hit in the thigh.
“Argh!”
The gray-robed man cried out in pain and collapsed to the ground on his knees.
The leader of the gray-robed men angrily took out his whistle and blew it. The wild beasts behind them instantly became restless and rushed madly toward the gate of the Tiger Base..
