Chapter 432: Chapter 299: Surviving Civilization (4K)_2

Crack—

Its hand was like a pair of steel pincers, brutally tearing open the fragile veil of space.

Revealing inside, the figures of a dozen or so beings as if ready for a great enemy.

…

Yu·Rongyue was a general of the Winged People Kingdom, stationed at the Vitality Spirit Spring.

The Winged People Kingdom had occupied the Vitality Spirit Spring for three or four decades. Yu Rongyue had been the guardian here for over a decade, without any major hiccups.

Even though there were several monstrously powerful monster powers nearby, they couldn’t discover this treasure trove hidden behind the veil of space.

Until today.

Their cunning and extremely secretive spatial veil was seen through by the girl with blue hair in front of them, who simply reached out her hand and ripped it apart.

Yu·Rongyue was greatly alarmed.

What a terrifying mastery of space!

Luckily, the girl who could perceive space, surpassing their understanding of spatial powers by leaps and bounds, showed mercy. She only tore a small opening and did not destroy the nodes of the space veil.

Yet, the sudden intrusion of the girl still made the Winged People’s experts stationed here feel as if facing a great enemy.

Duo Lai was also greatly shocked.

What happened?

It had only casually scratched with its hand, but it felt like it had torn through something just now?

It was just staring, and the bird people with wings on the other side had not attacked, so Duo Lai did not make a move either.

Because these bird people were not monsters.

Their aura was completely different from that of monsters—it was more similar to that of refugees who had been guided here by waypoints.

Could they be… the indigenous people of the Eternal Continent?

Duo Lai had after all attended school in the territory, even though it had failed every small monthly test, it had been exposed to some basic knowledge. It knew that in the depths of the wilderness, there might still be some ‘remnants’ existing.

Whether remnants or hidden civilizations, when it comes to fighting against monsters, everyone is on the same front line.

They might be potential allies.

For non-monster groups, if there was no danger, General Duo Lai naturally couldn’t just attack indiscriminately. Lord always said we should unite all forces that could be united. But, I seem to have torn something just now?

Could Duo have caused trouble?

Thinking this, General Duo Lai felt a bit guilty.

…

Yu·Rongyue also felt a bit guilty.

They were close, so close to releasing their arrows—then it would have been irreparable.

This blue-haired girl riding on Slime, she didn’t have the odious, tainted, and frenzied aura akin to monster powers.

She was obviously a true being.

And this blue-haired girl seemed very harmless (strike that) approachable, clearly not a bad person. Such a person couldn’t possibly harbor ill intentions, right? She had held back when tearing the spatial veil, clearly with the intent of visiting.

If they had acted too hastily just now, it could have turned into a disaster.

Thank goodness, thank goodness.

Yu·Rongyue sent a Winged People expert to the city to inform Queen, while he himself attempted to strike up a conversation with the blue-haired girl.

Soon,

Yu·Rongyue knew that this girl, who identified herself as General Duo Lai, was a human powerhouse representing the Human Lord.

“The last time we had an outsider visit was in…”

Last time.

He had forgotten which year it was.

In any case, it was a long time ago; back then, he wasn’t married yet and was a Winged Person free to soar at will.

For such a visitor, Yu·Rongyue was willing to make contact. After all, the Winged People Kingdom’s knowledge of the outside world was exceedingly scarce.

Even though he was the chief stationed at the gateway of the Winged People Kingdom, he still had never stepped out of the Winged People Kingdom in the past ten years.

The same went for the other Winged People.

They only knew the outside was dangerous, ravaged by monsters. They had almost come to believe that they were the only surviving civilization of Winged People in this world.

He wanted to obtain more information about the outside world through this visitor.

“`

Thus, one day, our Winged People Kingdom could truly venture out and experience the vastness of the world beyond.

…

“The Winged People Kingdom is a civilizational power in the nearby region, and it seems they have been rooted here for a long time. We need to get more information about the nearby monster power through them. It’s much more efficient than us groping in the dark.”

Mu Yuan spoke to Duo Lai in the ‘Lord·Hero’ channel.

Duo Lai simply nodded, acting as a parrot repeating the Lord’s words. As for the deeper meaning and details, it couldn’t be bothered to understand.

It just kept its Carislan big eyes wide open, looking around at the surroundings.

After a while,

General Yu·Rongyue received the message from behind and said to Duo Lai, “If you please, our Queen has agreed to your visit request.”

The area shrouded by the spatial curtain, the Vitality Spirit Spring territory, was like a little heaven and earth of its own.

This place covered an area of about ten acres, with two- to three-story buildings dotting the landscape.

Further in, there was a winding path covered with fine stones, and the light here twisted strangely.

Duo Lai did not need to look closely to know that the space here had been specially arranged. This time, it walked gingerly, careful not to touch anything haphazardly, fearing that a single careless move might tear apart the fragile space again.

The space here was indeed too delicate, thumbs down!

The winding path wasn’t long, and after just a brisk walk, Yu·Rongyue proudly announced, “We’ve arrived, this is our Winged People Kingdom.”

Before them, the heavens and the earth suddenly cleared, and the transparent sunlight fell straight down, bringing warmth.

In this space, not a trace of red mist could be seen floating about.

The periphery was surrounded by towering cliffs rising vertically from the ground like walls. On the cliffs, within the valley trees, and on the ground, exquisite and picturesque white buildings were constructed.

Feathermen were flying between the trees and cliffs, while others were picking fruits or tending to crops, presenting a peaceful and pleasant scene.

“What do you think, our Winged People Kingdom is not bad, right?”

“It’s probably not bad…”

Duo Lai was an honest being and could not utter insincere words.

In its eyes, the Featherman Valley before it was indeed quite beautiful, but…

This was a ‘kingdom’?

“Is this the frontline town of the Winged People Kingdom?”

It asked.

Yu Rongyue was puzzled, “This is the Winged People Kingdom. What do you mean by ‘frontline town’?” He couldn’t understand.

Duo Lai: “…”

Why could this place be called a ‘kingdom’? Although it wasn’t well-read, it wasn’t stupid either; this Featherman Valley was just a bit bigger than Shiling Town and far inferior to Pan Shi City. How could it be considered a kingdom?

Duo Lai didn’t understand.

Yu Rongyue also noticed that Duo Lai seemed somewhat disappointed.

He asked, “What is the outside world like?”

“Very, very big.” Duo Lai thought about how to describe it, but being rather uneducated, it had a limited vocabulary and couldn’t think of an appropriate adjective.

After a while, it said, “You know about the Tai Xuan Alliance, right? They have so many cities and territories.”

Yu Rongyue: No, we don’t know.

He really hadn’t heard of it.

Lord Shepherd pondered in the background, “They haven’t even heard of the Tai Xuan Alliance? Exactly where is this place, on the fringe? Normally, even with spatial dislocation, my Tianyuan Territory shouldn’t have been thrown to a very distant place.”

“It could also be that this Featherman is relatively uninformed. We should take the opportunity to meet the Featherman Queen. It’s said that the Featherman Queen has lived for over a hundred years and must be quite knowledgeable, right?”

Duo Lai followed the Featherman general deeper into the Winged People Kingdom.

Its young girl’s body led the way while the Slime’s body followed closely behind, hopping along as if they were two completely separate entities.

And they essentially were.

Under the effect of Perfect Imitation, the girl Duo Lai’s body was indistinguishable from a human, exuding the scent of humanity. The only scent it couldn’t mimic was that of a monster.

In this mode, even in danger, the enemy would target ‘girl Duo Lai’ while ignoring ‘Slime Duo’.

Naturally, this was per Mu Yuan’s request, as Duo Lai would not have such a sense of security.

In the eyes of the Great Lord, even if the environment was 99.8% safe, the remaining 0.02% of uncertainty could not be overlooked.

Taking some precautionary measures was worth it.

After a bit of walking, the mouth substitute of Duo Lai asked, “Your Winged People Kingdom has been operating here for so long, you must be very familiar with the nearby monster power, right?”
