Chapter 1138: Extremely High Death Rate
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
It was the seal of the leader of Hansworth.
Sayge Doyle and his daughter quietly left, not daring to mention today’s events again, as long as Braydon Neal didn’t pursue it. If Braydon let it go, the Doyle family also wanted to move past this matter.
Lowell Neal spoke, “Braydon, the situation outside is complicated. Why not stay in the Neal Mansion?”
“If I stay, I’m afraid Aunt Karen will have a sleepless night. This Neal Mansion cannot accommodate both me and Skylar. Staying elsewhere will be more comfortable for all of us.”
Braydon once again refused Lowell’s offer.
Braydon and Skylar Neal would not reside in this Neal Mansion.
At this moment, not far away on the street, a figure in black suddenly appeared.
It was Shadow!
One of the eight generals.
He arrived silently, bowed and greeted, “Young Master, the master has already arranged a place for you to stay.”
“Let’s go, then!”
Braydon nodded lightly.
He had no resistance to the accommodation arranged by his teacher, Finley Yanagi.
Old Devil Yanagi treated Braydon as his own son, so the place he had arranged must be suitable for Braydon to live in.
Sapphire Neal was somewhat surprised and asked, “Braydon, do you know other people on the South Pole Island?”
“Braydon’s acquaintances on the South Pole Island may not be fewer than yours!”
Lowell said.
Seeing Old Devil Yanagi personally arranging Braydon’s residence, he couldn’t help but feel relieved.
Jayven Neal didn’t want to stay at home, afraid that Lowell would scold him, so he scurried away with Braydon.
They were all of the same generation, and they all came from the Neal family, making them cousins.
They felt close to each other.
The accommodation arranged by Finley was not far from here, more to the north on the South Pole Island.
In an open area covering a hundred acres, with overgrown weeds, there was a dilapidated pavilion. A murky pond surrounded the pavilion, and there was a shabby thatched house.
Shadow bowed and said, “Young Master, this is the residence arranged by the master.”
“Is this place meant for people to live in?”
Jayven exclaimed immediately.
But Sapphire frowned slightly and scolded, “Shut up, what nonsense are you talking about!”
Thinking of this, Braydon wanted to bring the Northern Army to guard the South Pole Island and control all the resources.
Unfortunately, it seemed impossible now.
The South Pole Island was full of hidden elites, gathering powerhouses from the hundred countries. Various forces were intertwined, each having their own share of the cake.
Once these people’s interests were touched, it would undoubtedly be seen as an act of hostility.
Braydon looked at Skylar and said, “Luke and the others have entered the 14th ruin. Let’s go in and take a look today.”
“Sure!”
Skylar always followed his brother.
Jayven, on the side, gulped and asked in a low voice, “Are you guys going into the ruins?”
“Any problem with that?” Skylar looked at his cousin.
Jayven pouted and said, “The ruins are extremely dangerous. If you aren’t careful, you could die inside. I’ve only been inside once since I was a child.”
“It is indeed dangerous inside. The mortality rate for pinnacle martial artists who enter for a year exceeds thirty percent. The longer one stays inside, the higher the mortality rate.”
Sapphire spoke of the danger inside the ruins.
For pinnacle martial artists entering for a year, a mortality rate of over thirty percent was not low.
After all, their opponents were pinnacle martial artists.
For martial artists below the pinnacle realm, the mortality rate inside the ruins was likely double.
After all, the strength of king-level martial artists and war-god-level martial artists was incomparable to that of pinnacle martial artists.
Braydon smiled lightly, “It’s only through danger that people can be tempered. In the battleground at the northern territory, ten years ago, the monthly injury rate was 95%, and the death rate was 36%!”
During that period, it was the most difficult time for the Northern Army.
Almost everyone in the Northern Army was injured while resisting the attacks of the eight foreign countries.
In that oppressive period, people could fall into a state of madness.
Yet, precisely under such high-pressure conditions, the Northern Army siblings endured.
Jayven’s eyes widened, and he asked in a low voice, “Braydon, you’ve been on the battlefield too?”
“We witnessed the cruelty of the battlefield and the scenes of limbs and fragments, blood flowing, and corpses floating at the age of seven.”
Skylar spoke of the environment they grew up in.
This made Jayven secretly swallow his saliva.
Obviously, he had not experienced any of these!
Braydon chuckled, “You two go back. Skylar and I are going to go and see the 14th ruin.”
“I’ll go with you!”
Sapphire didn’t hesitate. She wanted to accompany her two brothers to the ruins because she was born and raised here, and she was much more familiar with the environment inside the ruins than Braydon and Skylar.
