It left to the south east direction.
When Yue Yang was feeling confused about this, suddenly, the Ox-head party leader Li Ao’s Black Iron Wrist Protector and the Golden Elf Lin En’s Precious Stone ring lighted up in red at the same time. Both of the red lights pointed towards the south east direction. The two people shouted at the same time,
There’s someone requesting help from the south east direction!
Quick!
The Ox-head girl Fan Lun Tie slapped Yue Yang’s shoulders hard, signalling to him to follow her. She rushed to the front, wielding her giant axe.
Oink oink, quickly, saving others will give us twice party points.
The four Orc girls also rushed forward dauntlessly.
…
Yue Yang felt that this kind of saving others are pain in the ass.
They might not even be able to guarantee their own life, let alone save others.
The monsters here, the moment they go berserk, they were definitely not monsters that this party could defend against.
Of course, saving others might be the good culture in the Sixth Floor of Tong Tian Tower. This point, he couldn’t use a human’s perspective to differentiate right or wrong. Yue Yang recalled the Silver Fox who had been baring its teeth and signalling that there were enemies surrounding them and followed behind the big loli elf Bao Er. He could enjoy a nice view for one, looking at her round little butt covered with her tight pants, it was quite seductive. For another, he could also help the innocent and enthusiastic Bao Er, who was the weakest one in the party, in case an emergency happened.
On the way, Yue Yang discovered that countless monsters were gathering on the south east direction, including the flying beasts in the sky.
After walking for half an hour, a thick scent of blood pervaded the air, spreading throughout the forest.
Beside them, beasts would come an go at times, but they completely ignored Yue Yang and the others. It was like they had gone berserk. They rushed forward, as if there was some kind of thing that was summoning them.
After walking for another ten minutes, there was a swamp and a lake up front, and they came into a wide clearing. On the south east direction, at a tall mountain peak in front, countless Green Dragons swoop down continuously, releasing their dragon breaths and attacking the human warriors with flames.
The countless number of beasts rushed towards the battlefield, recklessly charging towards the ten over human warriors who had formed a defensive circle to protect themselves.
The ground was filled with the corpses that the human warriors had killed.
Fresh blood covered the whole ground.
The river of blood flowed towards the lake, staining the clear lake water red…
Yue Yang did not need to look to know that these people were not in danger at all.
There were two Innate Rankers in the party, and the weakest amongst the party members was a Level 7 [Overlord]. A few Green Dragons wouldn’t give them any difficulty at all. As for the beasts on the ground like Forest Wolves, Forest Boas, Falcons and so on, they were completely just throwing away their lives. Quantity would never bring difficulty to two Innate Level 3 Rankers. Furthermore, these two had artifacts on their hands. One of them held a Gold-ranked Dragon Slaying Spear while the other clasped a Curse Ball. The Curse Ball had the ability to increase the party’s strength and weakened the forest beasts’ power. It would be weird if they were defeated in this battle!
Yue Yang didn’t understand why they would sound a distress call. Could it be that there was a stronger Holy Beast amongst the beasts?
On the high cliff, there was a silver figure guarding in front of a cave. Only this giant Silver Dragon had the power to resist the two Innate Rankers, albeit with much difficulty.
However, even if it had the support of the Green Dragons around it, Yue Yang didn’t think that it would be able to endure the deadly combination of the Gold-ranked Dragon Slaying Spear and the Curse Ball combo… Especially the Gold-ranked Dragon Slaying Spear, it was a stronger weapon than the Dragon Slaying Dagger that Yue Yang had.
More accurately speaking, they were Gold-ranked weapon designed specifically to kill giant dragons.
Legends said that ten thousand years ago, there was a talented boy with a mediocre appearance called Tai Yue. With a fated meeting, he fell deep in love with a beautiful dragon girl, who reciprocated her love.
Their incompatible love had angered the Golden Dragon King.
The Golden Dragon King angrily imprisoned the dragon girl, but she escaped very quickly and eloped with her lover Tai Yue to a deserted place, living in seclusion. The Red Dragon Prince who secretly loved the Dragon Girl was once Tai Yue’s best friend, so he gained Tai Yue’s and the Dragon Girl’s trust. Other than the Red Dragon Prince, no one else knew about their location. Even the Dragon Girl’s escape was planned by the Red Dragon Prince.
With regards to the Red Dragon Prince, the Tai Yue husband and wife were extremely grateful. They viewed him as their benefactor.
However, the truth was that the Red Dragon Prince was burning with jealousy because the Dragon Girl had fallen in love and became his best friend’s wife. He was intent on destroying the two people’s happiness.
Under his report, the Golden Dragon King very quickly dispatched the Royal Dragon Guard to capture Tai Yue and the Dragon Girl.
The Red Dragon Prince notified Tai Yue immediately, and requested him to create a weapon that could kill the Golden Dragon King for him. He would personally kill the strongest Golden Dragon King and put an end to this tragedy. Hence, Tai Yue, who was an expert in making weapons, personally created a Gold-ranked Dragon Slaying Spear as the Red Dragon Prince’s weapon. As for himself, he created a Gold-ranked Dragon Slaying Spear to protect him and his wife from the Royal Guard’s attack.
After killing the Golden Dragon King, the Red Dragon Prince informed the Dragon Girl and told her that Tai Yue, her husband, was the one who did it.
The Dragon Girl mistakenly believed the Red Dragon Prince and started to interrogate her husband.
Tai Yue who had the Gold-ranked Dragon Slaying Sword hung on his waist couldn’t explain himself, he could only confess that the Golden Dragon King was killed by a weapon that he created.
The Dragon Girl walked away in anger, and Tai Yue was killed by the furious Royal Dragon Guard who wanted to take revenge on their king… In the end, the last blow was delivered by his good friend the Red Dragon Prince, with the Gold-ranked Dragon Slaying Spear that he created. He immediately died on the spot. When the Dragon Girl who came back after calming herself down saw her husband’s corpse, she was devastated. Then, she finally realized there was something wrong and investigated privately. When she saw that the Red Dragon Prince possess a Gold-ranked Dragon Slaying Spear, she finally understood everything.
The remorseful Dragon Girl was unable to take revenge, so she pinned all her hopes on her son, who was still inside her womb.
When Tai Yue’s child grew up, he was more outstanding than his father. At the same time, he inherited his mother’s beautiful features. Other than creating an extremely sharp Gold-ranked Dragon Slaying Dagger, he had also studied Transformation Technique with a Ranker called Wu Xiang. Tai Yue’s son pretended to be a beautiful girl and approached the Red Dragon Prince who had became the Dragon Race’s King. He successfully assassinated him. Just as the furious Dragon Race was about to tear Tai Yue’s son into pieces, the Dragon Girl appeared and lamented her tragic story to her people. She then took her husband’s Gold-ranked Dragon Slaying Sword which was on the Red Dragon Prince’s waist and committed suicide. Her sacrifice for love shocked the entire Dragon Race. In the end, the Dragon Race released Tai Yue’s son, who was heartbroken an inconsolable.
The story was passed on generation by generation. After such a long time, nobody knows if the legend was true.
However, the Yue Clan descendants in the Soaring Dragon Continent looked up to Tai Yue’s son, the strong man who created the Gold-ranked Dragon Slaying Dagger to avenge his father. They regarded him as their ancestor and chose Yue as their surname!
This was the story that the old man Yue Hai told Yue Yang after he had gotten the Gold-ranked Dragon Slaying Dagger.
In Soaring Dragon Continent, other than the Yue Clan, other clans would probably have already forgotten the legend. Maybe the Royal Library of the Da Xia and Tian Luo Kingdom would record a few sentences of this story in a thick history book.
No matter what, the Gold-ranked Dragon Slaying Spear, Dragon Slaying Sword, Dragon Slaying Dagger were the three weapons in the Dragon Slaying Collection. Other than the three weapons, there were also the Red Dragon Armour, Tai Yue’s gloves, Dragon Girl’s necklace and Dragon King’s Crown. All these artifacts were the items that were passed down in legends. The later generations grouped them into a set. Inclusive of the Dragon Slaying Spear, Dragon Slaying Sword and Dragon Slaying Dagger were grouped into the Revenge Set. Of course, because the legend was passed on for too long, the Revenge Set slowly turned into the Dragon Slaying set after some time as the Dragon Slaying-part was easier for the later generations to remember.
With the Gold-ranked Dragon Slaying Spear, Yue Yang felt that those few low-levelled Green Dragons would definitely die under the two Innate Rankers’ attacks.
He didn’t understand, such a strong party, why would they call for help?
These people definitely had the power to handle the monsters in Jadeite Forest. Why are they still calling for help?
However, when the flock of a hundred Green-spotted Wyvern, Yue Yang’s heart twitched… Here, everywhere around was magic crystals. He couldn’t spoil the balance of the environment, but in order to save people, it should be okay if he take some magic crystals, right? Furthermore, it was not like he killed all the dragons here. The monsters that that party killed won’t be able to resurrect anyway, it would be a waste if he didn’t pick those magic crystals up.
Yue Yang flexed his hands and prepared to clean them all up.
Of course the most important thing was to collect magic crystals. He couldn’t care less about other people’s life and death. Furthermore, there were two Innates supporting the party, it would be difficult to die even if the party members wanted to.
On the other hand, the strongest amongst the party members that came to their rescue, the party leader Li Ao, was actually weaker than the weakest of the group of humans. If they really joined the battle, their lives might even be in danger…
These bunch of despicable, shameless humans are really too evil. Humans are definitely no good!
The Ox-head girl roared furiously.
Hey, hey. What’s happening?
Yue Yang didn’t understand. Why were they angry when they saw that the humans party that they hurried to rescue were currently winning? Were they actually jealous? Or was it because this Ox-head girl was as kind as Buddha and couldn’t bear to see the ground drenched in blood?
They are Dragon Hunters.
The handsome elf guy Lin En suppressed his anger and explained remorsefully.
What?
Yue Yang still didn’t understand.
Idiot, Dragon Hunters are a kind of barbaric, bloody job. They have completely lost their conscience and are addicted to massacres. Although they say that they are Dragon Slayers, they actually do all kinds of bad things. They will kill whatever monsters they see, clearing everything like a locust epidemic destroying one whole pasture of land. The Jadeite Forest is the place for the Green Dragon and Blue Dragon to rest, but these Dragon Hunters have used some kind of secret method to trick the Warrior Guild Quest Office and came here. They slayed the dragons and plunder the dragon crystals… We can’t just sit still and do nothing, we must punish these evil humans severely and butcher them!
The big loli elf was so angry that she clenched her teeth. She almost shot out the arrow on her bow.
Don’t, you are not their match.
Yue Yang hurriedly stopped her.
Do you think what they are doing is right? Couldn’t you see the bloodbath on that battlefield?
The Ox-head girl seized Yue Yang’s collar.
That, my opinion doesn’t matter here. The most important thing is that you guys are far from becoming their match.
Yue Yang told them the truth.
They are a party of fifteen, and the strongest ones are Innates. Four of them are Level 8 Intermediate Emperor, six of them Level 7 Advanced Overlord and the weakest amongst them are three Level 7 Beginner Overlord. Everyone of them are higher levelled than Lin En and I. This battle looks difficult, we might be completely annihilated.
The Ox-head party leader Li Ao looked extremely serious this time. It was the first time he spoke so many words.
You guys are not really going to fight with them, right?
Yue Yang was shocked when he heard him. Wouldn’t this be a case of throwing an egg into a rock?
Dragon Slayers are the common enemy of all races. Although we are weak, we can’t just leave them to do what they please and do nothing. They would kill us all sooner or later anyway, so someone must come out and stop them. Even if we can only kill one of them, we could decrease their strength by a little.
The handsome elf guy Lin En made Yue Yang speechless.
Yue Yang remembered there was a saying spoken by a German pastor, Martin Niemöller,
When they massacred the Jews, I didn’t speak up because I am not a Jew. When they massacred Christians, I didn’t speak up because I am not a Christ follower. When they captured the Communists, I stayed silent because I am not a communist. In the end, when they wanted to kill me, no one spoke up for me…
If the slaying of dragons happened in the Soaring Dragon Continent, no one would oppose the Dragon Hunters.
Most of the people would think that it was nature’s law.
Killing dragons and getting their dragon crystal was a human’s basic desire. It’s alright to kill anything, as long as they need it, they could even kill their fellow humans, let alone dragons.
Maybe there were only a few of people who thought that killing too much would disrupt the harmony of the community, destroy the environment and the ecosphere. However, they would definitely not dare to stop the Dragon Slaying Hunters.
At the most, they would only curse them in their hearts.
There would be people who protest slaying the dragons, but would there people who took action against the Dragon Hunters?
No!
Amongst humans, such a fool would definitely not exist!
That was definitely a death-seeking action. Forget about having the ability to stop them, even if they had it, they might even ignore the Dragon Hunters evil acts because they were worried that their future would be afflicted. There might even be people who joined the Dragon Hunters enthusiastically, becoming one of the Dragon Hunters to reap huge benefits.
What was the Giant Dragon’s wrath and the hundreds of beasts’ cries?
Those things, who would care about them? The deterioration of the environment and nature, who would care about them?
Yue Yang was completely shaken by the few idiots in front of him… They clearly knew that their enemy was much stronger, yet they still advanced bravely to the battle. Inside these Ox-head people, Orcs and Golden Elves’ brains, could it be that they were filled with rocks? Couldn’t they be more flexible, returning to the Warrior’s Guild first then coming back to fight with more reinforcements?
This is throwing away your own life. Let’s give up our quest and return to the Warrior’s Guild. We can ask for reinforcements and come back here again!
Yue Yang advised.
Good idea. You should go back, then! Bring Bao Er with you.
The handsome elf guy Lin En patted Yue Yang’s shoulders and nodded, showing his agreement.
That was really a good idea…
The Ox-head girl Fan Lun Tie laughed coldly without any tinge of ridicule.
I, I wouldn’t run away just before the battle. Even if I die, I won’t leave. Let this coward of a human escape, I am a brave Golden Elf, I am a noble member of the Moon God Royal Guard, I will definitely not escape in the face of danger. I, I am not afraid of death, because death would only bring me back into the Moon God’s embrace!
The big loli elf girl Bao Er’s lips was trembling. It was obvious that she was actually afraid of dying. (Shiro: Moon God – KIV. Translating is subjective, it can be translated as Moon Goddess too. Will need to see the context in future chapters.)
Good Bao Er, you are really a brave warrior!
The four Orc girls praised her in chorus.
You guys are making her throw away her life. She wouldn’t be able to withstand any of the opponent’s attacks. What use could her little bow and arrow do? Make her opponents lose a strand of hair? Have you guys ever thought that the moment you failed, not only would you die, you would also miss the chance of capturing them. Bao Er and Anna’s purity might even be tarnished by the enemies. This will be the result of your reckless heroic act! You want to defeat the enemy, that I understand, but before you guys become stronger, this method is completely illogical. It’s completely wrong, I can’t accept it!
Yue Yang was furious.
Even if we die, the Moon God would not let us be humiliated. We will offer our lives. No one will be able to sully the Moon God’s disciples.
Anna’s breathtakingly beautiful face revealed a smile. She looked at Yue Yang as if she was a big sister looking at her younger brother, gently nodding her head,
What you said is completely right. Our choice of action might not exactly be the best choice. However, the worth of a life living in this world is not measured by how much wealth he acquired or how smooth-sailing his life journey was. It is measured by how much he could enjoy freedom and heart-felt happiness… If he can’t, no matter how strong he is or how rich he is, he is still poor and weak. My words, you might not be able to understand it, but one day you will, because you are different from other humans. Think about it, if an enemy is threatening your freedom, making you feel unhappy, what will you do? Fight! I believe you will fight. But of course, your method of fighting is different from ours. You can endure and kill your enemies after you have grown stronger, but we can’t. That’s why we choose this method… There are no right or wrongs in our fighting method, your method is right, but our method is not wrong either. We only have different opinions, but we are both fighting in our own way.
So you would rather die and fight? Do you think sacrificing your lives for nothing to your enemies worth it?
After listening to Anna’s lecture for a long time, Yue Yang asked.
There’s value. The value in our fight is not by how many enemies we defeated, but in our hearts. We definitely couldn’t tolerate this kind of behaviour. They can kill us, but they wouldn’t be able to change our mind, soul and will.
The Ox-head party leader Li Ao patted Yue Yang’s shoulders,
We won’t force you, because you are human, you are different from us. You can stay, or return and report to the Warrior’s Guild… Amongst all the humans I’ve met, you are one of the best youngster. Live on your life happily!
Sleep…
The Golden Elf handsome guy Lin En covered Bao Er’s face with his hands for a while. A green light flashed and Bao Er immediately collapsed. Anna carried her softly.
The Golden Elf Lin En spoke to Yue Yang,
Take my sister away She is still a child, please bring her to my father. You don’t have to care about the things that happen today. In Tong Tian Tower, there are a lot of small parties like us. Everyday, there would be people dying and new people entering. A warrior’s grave need not be with their families. Everywhere can be our final resting place, be it in mountains, forests, snow or sand. Our fighting method is different, but there is one certain thing between us, we are both excellent warriors!
I have really never seen anyone who are more determined to throw away their lives like you guys… Forget it, I won’t leave at the mean time. Maybe I can try talking with those Dragon Hunters. Maybe they would consider my advice seeing that I am also of the human race, maybe they will consider leaving afterwards.
Yue Yang thought to drive away those fellows, so that these stubborn Ox-heads, Orcs and Golden Elves wouldn’t die for nothing here.
No, if you go, you will only throw away your life. They will never listen to anyone’s advice.
The Golden Elf Lin En shook his head, he didn’t agree with Yue Yang’s plan.
Idiot fool, go ahead and do it. When you are killed by them, I will avenge your death. I will definitely kill one of them at least!
The Ox-head girl Fan Lun Tie slapped Yue Yang’s back strongly, and laughed out loud at the same time.
The human Dragon Hunters party had already discovered Yue Yang’s party. Two of the four Level 8 Intermediate Emperors flew over towards them like lightning.
When they saw Anna and Bao Er’s appearance, they immediately smiled wantonly.
The tall and skinny one on the left chuckled lewdly,
What a good day, it’s been a long time since I tasted a Golden Elf. It should have been 20 year at least. I never thought a Golden Elf will serve herself on a silver platter in front of me today!
Among those two, compared to that mature-looking Golden Elf, I like the young sleeping one better. When I think about her crying out in pain as I rape her, I couldn’t help having goose bumps from the exhilaration and anticipation. That young one must be a virgin. After we finished raping and killing them, I can slowly drink her delicious blood. Hahaha, wouldn’t that be awesome!
The other man who had a heavily-muscled body and did not wear any top completely ignored everyone there as he laughed out loud in ecstasy.
Can you consider letting them off on my behalf, as a fellow human race? We will leave immediately.
Yue Yang knew that he was wasting his breath, but he must confirm what kind of existence these Dragon Hunters were.
Who are you to say that? Human? Do you think we don’t roast human and eat their flesh? Don’t think that because you are human, you can give us orders like that! In the Tong Tian Tower, there are no difference in races. As long as you are strong enough, then every living thing is either food or slaves, you understand? You think that just because we are both humans, I will be so generous and let you off? Dream on! You bumped into me, just think about it as your bad luck! With just the likes of a weakling like you, you still dared to act like a hero? Do you want to make me laugh until my jaw dropped? I say, little boy, have you drunk your milk yet? You are so naive and foolish, what kind of place do you think Tong Tian Tower is? Your nursery? If you don’t have the ability, then you can only die!
The tall and skinny guy spitted on the ground as he taunted Yue Yang rudely.
I think a donkey has accidentally kicked this fellow’s head, I’ve never seen an idiot like him. With your power, I am really curious about how you could still survive in the Sixth Floor of Tong Tian Tower. Little boy, let me tell you one fact: the weak are prey to the strong. Come and kill us if you have the ability to do so! In your next life, if you still have a next life, you must remember. If you don’t have the ability, you should just hide behind your mother’s skirt and let her protect you your whole life just like how a mother hen would protect its chick. Remember not to go out of your house, otherwise people might just accidentally stomp a fool like you to your death!
The heavily-muscled guy laughed out loud.
…
The Ox-head Party Leader Li Ao, the Golden Elf handsome guy Lin En, the Ox-head girl and the four Orc girls were all looking at Yue Yang.
No one spoke, but Yue Yang could feel that they were trying to console him.
It’s just that they didn’t know how to.
Anna who was carrying Bao Er walked to Yue Yang’s side and said gently,
You are just like my little brother, kind and smart. It’s just that you lack experience. I am very happy to have met you. Take Bao Er and leave now, you are still young, you shouldn’t die here. We will open a path for you. Use the teleportation stone and leave. The Golden Elf race and I will always wish you good luck. Although you are a human, you are really excellent!
Yue Yang looked at Anna and shook his head. He didn’t take Bao Er who was in her arms.
He stopped Lin En, Li Ao and the others who wanted to advise him, and walked, step by step, towards the two Dragon Hunters.
Did you say the weak are prey to the strong? If you have no ability, you should let yourself be killed and slaughtered? I have learnt a lot from your words, a lot… Since that is the case, you guys should just die!
Yue Yang was completely furious. Faster than lightning, his hands moved towards the tall and skinny guy’s face. Yue Yang’s Star Explosion Domain of Power exploded. That tall and skinny guy didn’t even have a second to struggle before his head immediately exploded.
In the next second, Yue Yang appeared in front of the heavily-muscled guy…
