Chapter 1011 - Heaven and Earth Opening: Crazy Humans

Chapter 1011

(Unedited)

…

Shin Jiao was captured by the forest elves and has a helpless look on his face as he followed behind them. Beads of sweat are on his forehead as he tried to chase after the group.

The leather strap which is on his neck is a slave restriction artifact that would restrict the movement and power of those that wear them. And right now, Shin Jiao's power is restricted to that of a servant realm. Hence he looks to have a hard time catching up with the group.

The elves would chuckle upon seeing his helpless figure.

But Shin Jiao noticed one of the young men from the group running behind him, would casually help him every now and then when he would stumble or fall back.

He would do this nonchalantly as if he did not want him to hold them back. But he could feel that this young man would send a strand of energy in his body making him feel strengthened.

Shin Jiao was baffled at this at first but then realized that this person meant to help him in secret.

As the group travels through the forest, they soon reached the town where there is a huge army gathered just outside the wall.

The army is composed of elves and there are even humans in the midst of them. Those humans are wearing the same leather collar just like the one that Shin Jiao is wearing.

"Hey, Ki'Elga… you and your group are late. If you would have arrived later, we would have already left and be done with the war… Haha…" a tall and burly elf said as he patted the leader of the group who is with Shin Jiao.

"Mak'ko… you're as arrogant as ever. If I know, you would have been the first one to die if you would have gone to the battlefront… Hahaha…"

"What?! Do you think that they could kill me just as easily as that? No way man… With my strength and ability, those High Elves imperial bastards would be dead before my face. Plus, can't you tell that I have already reached the Lord's realm… With my strength, I could take down any High Lord… Hehe…"

Ki'Elga looks at the proud forest elf and showed a surprised expression. He could not believe that his friend would have truly reached the Lord's realm of power.

"Damn… how did you? Wait… don't tell me you…" Ki'Elga showed a horrified expression.

"No, I did not. My teacher helped me break through. You know how good he is at guiding others in their meditation, right?... Upon knowing that I'm going to war, he helped me breakthrough and reach the Lord's realm…"

"You are one lucky fool…"

"You… stop calling me a fool. I may not be good at anything else, but fighting and battles are my forte…"

The two began to talk in a friendly manner while the other elves also walk towards their peers. It was like the air of war is not present and everyone is having a good time meeting each other.

Shin Jiao on the other hand was sent to a group of humans. He could see the fear in their eyes and could also tell that these people were forcefully captured and were sent to this place.

They have heard that the High Elves have the ability to steal their soul strands which would send their resurrection spot to the High Elven race. This means that they would be tortured in that place for eternity.

Many of them wanted to commit suicide at this moment, but the leather band on their necks seems to prohibit them from taking their own lives.

"Damn it! Those despicable elves are having a civil war and now they wanted to involve us in this? Truly despicable beings…" a tall female said with an angry harrumph.

"Hush… They would beat us up once again. I would rather die than be beaten by those bastards…" a man said while glaring at the woman.

The two have an indignant look in their eyes as they glare at each other.

"We can't do anything at this point in time. I'm sure they are going to use us as cannon fodders. We can only lament on our fate… Sigh… I should not have agreed to patrol the borders…" he said with a sad expression.

"I was sent here to ȧssist a noble from the town of Gipard. I think some of the people from the town are helping the High Elves in secret…" someone from the group suddenly said in a low voice.

"What do you mean? The humans are helping the high elves?" someone interjected.

"No… I mean… I think there are agents of the demons from amongst the people from the town…" he said while looking around.

"Demon familiars…" he thought.

Well, he could not deny that some immortals have already given up as they don't have the talent to grow further than what they have right now after so many years. They wanted to grow strong and because of that, the demons and shadow beings could use this to fuel their dėsɨrė.

With dėsɨrė comes their downfall.

He could not deny the fact that demons have their own way to boost the power of an individual, but this burst of power has its price.

With this kind of strength, those who are subjected to such a process would surely lose their mind in exchange for overwhelming strength. And this is not what a cultivator should be doing. In principle, strength should be gain step by step. Little by little until one could reach the peak. Though it would take a long time, those who are patient enough would surely attain their dėsɨrė.

However, some cultivators have already reached their patience and did such a thing.

As Shin Jiao realize this, he knew that the temptation of the demons and the shadow beings would surely bring catastrophe to the immortal land.

But suddenly he realized something.

If the demons have such strength, how come they have not fully utilized their advantage and work little by little? What is the reason behind this? In fact, if they wanted to, they could invade the immortal land and exert their strength fully. But this small step they are taking is something that baffled him.

"Could this be a discussion between the deities and the shadow beings? Could this be the way of the deities to test the immortals in this land…" Shin Jiao thought.

One of the problems with living an immortal life is stagnation. One would be complacent of one's state and lose the dėsɨrė for growth in exchange for the leisure life of being an immortal.

As Shin Jiao thinks, he could ascertain that he has reached the right conjecture why this is happening. But of course, he would not jump to conclusions yet. As a small fry in the immortal land, he has no other choice but to go with the flow of… fate.

Suddenly from the front, a loud horn was blown and everyone's attention was immediately caught by the sound.

"What is happening?" someone from the crowd of humans asked.

"I think we are about to march to war…" someone answered.

Everyone was gripped in horror as they quickly takes out their weapons.

Though they could not exert their full force, they still did not want to fall without a fight.

The army began moving and marches forward.

Shin Jiao followed but did not take out his weapon yet.

After an hour, the army reaches a clearing of the forest as they stopped.

"Arrange the battle formation!" shouted a forest elf wearing heavy golden armor.

Everyone began marching to their positions. At this time, the humans have been pushed by the high elves and were sent to the front of the battle group.

From what Shin Jiao could see, there are at least a thousand humans on the frontlines.

"I think these are the whole humans that they have caught…" he muttered.

The person beside him turns his gaze at Shin Jiao.

"Yes, look at some of them. They seem to have suffered in the hands of these elves." He said with gritted teeth.

Shin Jiao nodded his head.

As Shin Jiao observed the line of humans, he noticed that some of them are actually exuding dark auras. It is not that visible on the outside, but with his ability to discern auras, he could tell that some of them are actually demonized. Even if a high lord looks at these people, they could not see those small strands of dark auras, unless they observed deeply.

"It seems that there are spies amongst us…" he thought with a slight smirk on his face.
