Chapter 407: Hags
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
To go to where the Hag Race was, Lu Li would have to go through the Yellow Goblins. Given that all the warriors here were powerful, it shouldn't be a problem!
Yu Huashen, Ming Yu, Ye Cha and the three patriarchs of the Cyan Phoenix Race had returned. Zi Huanqiao, Zi Huanyu and two Noble Lord Realm warriors from the Heaven Frigid Kingdom, Qi Tianfan and He Jun, were here along with Hong Tianxie from the Heaven Martial Kingdom and Chen Ping from the Heaven Cold Kingdom.
There were 13 of them altogether including Lu Li. All the warriors at the Eternal Realm were sent away by Lu Li, including Bai Leng. Those here all flew up on Lu Li's orders with Ye Cha leading the way, heading to the southwest.
"Buzzing~"
One Yellow Goblin after another appeared in the air and attacked Lu Li and the others wildly. The ground burst open as many more Yellow Goblins launched their attacks.
The Yellow Goblins must have gotten the wrong idea. They thought Lu Li was trying to attack them so they had to take actions in advance.
"Break out of the encirclement but don't kill them!"
Lu Li was protected among the Noble Lord Realm warriors. He couldn't afford to get into a big fight with the Yellow Goblin Race. Otherwise, the other major races would be alarmed. Lu Li planned to save Bai Qiuxue and then leave immediately. He planned to come back after the Mammoth Race made the breakthrough.
Ye Cha and the others made moves but they didn't release their most powerful attacks. Average Yellow Goblins were weak and those that had cloaking skills were few and far between. Ye Cha released his Profound Meaning and several golden claws struck out and cleared a path for them.
The other Noble Lord Realm warriors also took actions. With Ming Yu's force, the Yellow Goblins on the ground couldn't go up. Lu Li managed to break out of the encirclement easily with Ming Yu taking him.
Ye Cha led the way. Without any pause, they flew onward at the top of their speed.
The Xuan Qi here was abundant enough. They could see huge ancient trees and strange flowers and fruits. Some fruits had a profound fragrance, suggesting special usage.
After seeing this, everyone was intrigued. But Lu Li didn't ask them to stop. Also, nobody had the courage to go down alone to pick the fruits.
"Eh? That is Fire Demon Fruit!"
Dozens of miles ahead, Qi Tianfan from the Heaven Frigid Kingdom paused. He saw a special fruit down below which would be worth at least millions of Xuan Crystals.
"What are you doing? Go on. Don't you touch anything here!"
Lu Li said coldly. Qi Tianfan flew on without saying anything. Yu Huashen was confused. He thought this was not how Lu Li would usually react. There were so many good stuff here, so why wouldn't Lu Li allow them to harvest the fruits?
Lu Li had his reasons. First of all, he was worried about Bai Qiuxue. Second of all, he didn't want to expose the actual situation. If many people went down, they must be able to see more treasures and they could get greedy. By that time, the information Lu Li wanted to hide could be leaked.
They went on silently. They ran into some Yellow Goblins lurking underground but Lu Li didn't give orders to attack so they went by quietly.
Ye Cha had figured out a way that didn't pass on any tribes of the Yellow Goblin Race. Ye Cha's route would have a few detours so the journey was relatively safe.
They flew on for two whole days with no stopping before Ye Cha decided to stop. Yu Huashen and the others were surprised to see the small world was actually a large one.
This world was larger than they had imagined, but Lu Li didn't say it out loud. He turned to Ye Cha, and the latter said, "We are heading into the territory of the Hag Race and there will be many tribes. Young Master, do we kill our way in or do we sneak in?"
"Sneak in. Don't resort to violence unless it's absolutely necessary!"
Lu Li said after some thoughts. Ye Cha nodded and said, "Guys, let me tell you something about this Hag Race. The powerful ones are all females and the males don't actually have any abilities. The females are covered in black scales, they have horns on their heads, and their eyes are dark blue in color. Be aware of their eyes. The females are born to be powerful in their souls and they know how to charm you."
"Well… unless we run into their patriarchs or leaders, I think we will be fine, but Young Master you must be careful. Their weapons are their skulls. Not just any skulls, but those that have been refined and have venom inside which can erode things. Be careful and we will be okay. There will be a lot of them so let's make it quick."
Ye Cha explained and the others nodded in agreement. Lu Li was here. Nobody dared to be careless. The empire had just been established and this was their first big fight. Everyone was eager to put up a good show.
"Move."
Ye Cha waved his hand and the three patriarchs of the Cyan Phoenix Race led the way. Ye Cha brought Lu Li with him and the others followed them closely.
They had chosen not to fly. They lessened their qi and energy and sneaked forward on the ground. There were more than 10 people but no sound was made as if they were vipers.
In front of them were mountains after mountains. No one sent out psychic powers and they were relying only on their naked eyes. They could see some caves and some figures moving around faintly.
Cyan Phoenix Race was worthy of the name of top level scouts. They had chosen hidden routes. They were very fast and sneaked their way through mountains after mountains.
"Um, those Hags are pretty…"
While they were going, they would cast a glance from time to time and had a good look at the Hags. Since Lu Li didn't have to run by himself, he could take his time and have a look. Along the way, he saw Hags four or five times.
Hags were pretty similar to humans in bodily build. If they didn't have black scales outside of their body and horns on their heads, they would be no different from human females.
All the Hags they had seen were females with well-developed bodies. Their breasts were raised and their bottoms round. Their waists were thin and their legs long. There were no scales on their breasts so those were exposed. Female Hags were quite beautiful and very coquettish. Their dark blue eyes were like two pieces of alluring gems.
In the hands of every Hag, there was a human skull with red blood coming out from it. But the blood didn't drip. They streamed out from eyes and then into the mouth, quite miraculous.
"Pah, pah, pah~"
In front of a mountain, there was an open land. Several female Hags were whipping some males. Those males didn't have black scales and they knelt on the ground, naked. They were being lashed by the females who would give out some dissolute laughs every now and then…
"Female Hags, they are so into abusing males. I wonder if that's why the race is named as such."
Lu Li was surprised. Back at the Northern Desert, people usually refer to those females with violent characters as hags. Could it be that the hags once abused men at the Northern Desert many years ago? Otherwise, why would cruel females there be called hags as well?
Lu Li was not the only one surprised. Qi Tianfan suddenly saw a glare in a female Hag and then the scales disappeared and she turned into a stark-naked pretty girl.
To Qi Tianfan's surprise, this pretty girl walked over to a male, lifted her legs and clamped his head… Qi Tianfan lost control and with a slip, he crushed a pebble.
"Ah, ah~"
In the distance, some Hags were alarmed and they came over with skulls in their hands. Lu Li threw Qi Tianfan a scolding glance, waved his hand, and said, "Kill all the Hags here. Don't make too much noise and be quick!"
