In the middle of the dense forest, there is a clear sound of metal clashing. A young man was quick to draw out his sword that just got stuck there on the tree. He held the blade in the perfect, undaunted horizon, always levelled with the nose. He had stalled the man’s strike but his arm and blade shivered under the brutality of his compelling strength.
“Yan Xiang did you not see that this is the end for you” The man oposity to the young man spoke, at the same time the sword in his hand flashed as he brought it over his head and with a hummed and low swift tune he flash it down.
The Yan Xiang expression didn’t change. He gave a cold snort. He slapped a little purse and flicked his sleeve. Then a blue jade appears and then whizzed outward.
“BOOM!”
Yan Xiang let out a small shout of pain. Amidst the thunderous roar, he spat out a mouthful of blood and yet, his body did not stop and shot away with an incredible speed that would put all the professional runner to shame.
Behind him, the effects of the attack dissipated, and the man had no choice but to retreat a few steps, he was covered in dirt and his faces filled with disbelief.
“Dammit.!” Then with blood-curdling shrieks, he spoke.
“ How many does he actually have?”
He had corner and attacked the younger many time but the younger had still managed to escape, which he found hard to accept. Now, he wanted even more than ever to slay him.
“You still won’t accept death!” grinned one of them hideously, his murderous intent filling the air.
Then he sucked in a breath and didn’t hesitate in using all of the speed he could master and race in pursuit again, unwilling to let Yan Xiang go.
Time gradually passed by, and soon four hours had passed. Yan Xiang continued forward, but the distance between him and from his pursuers was getting shorter.
Then Yan Xiang caught sight of the Demonic forest, his eyes quivered. The forest gave off a ghostly, cold air as if it were filled with sinister gloom. But he couldn’t worry too much about that right now. Without hesitation, he shot into the Demonic forest.
“There no place for you to run! This time, you will die for sure!” The man increased his speed, entering the Demonic forest. His face was grim at this point. He secretly feared Demonic forest and yet, he continued forward.
The Demonic forest is completely different from any of the other forest. The trees of the forest stretched up toward the heavens. And the reason this place was called a demonic forest was that the forest seemed to be filled with wild Demonic energy.
"~~~~~~~"
Through the 6 monitoring insect robot streaming back to the images, Fei Heng was seen this from the very moment they start the fight outside the forest.
Then he shifts his attention to another screen. He made a thoughtful face
"Do I give them a hand? "Fei Heng hesitated.
"Hmm let wait for a better scene" Fei Heng said stroking his chin. Then he said in an excited voice.
"Prepare to intercept then "
"~~~~~~~"
Not long after entering the mountain, Yan Xiang heard a deep roar. After enough time passed, a low roar suddenly sounded out, seeming to cover half of the forest.
Like a dark wind, a giant wolf came toward him, howling. The wolf has almost 5 meters in height, with long snake-like tails and was covered with thin fur and bright red eyes which shone with killing intent.
Yan Xiang eyes glittered, he didn't expect to encounter a Demonic beast worst is that this was a high-level one the Poison Wind Wolf.
In midst of the pursuit, it would have been no big deal, but now he was facing a crisis. Then the Demonic wolves looked at him threateningly. That, not to mention the rest of the smaller Demonic wolves.
Further behind when the man appeared and he saw the pack of Demonic wolves, his expressions change dramatically.
Yan Xiang waved his hand, and a massive, roaring Flame Serpents shot down toward the pack of Demonic wolves.
Yan Xiang hesitated but not much and was ready to run for his life. He knew that this attack would not have an effect besides buying him some time.
He moved quickly, but the Demonic wolves moved even faster.
Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.
The Demonic wolves were now less than a step from Yan Xiang, then the wolf opens its mouth clearly showing that here would be the resting place of Yan Xiang.
" fiissSSS"
“BOOM!”
Then an explosion thundered out, and several nearby trees exploded into dust.
Then a miserable shriek poured out from the mouth of the wolves and blood poured out from its chest as if it had been stabbed. The Wolf did not have much time to think about what just happen.
" fiissSSS"
Again there was the same explosion thundered out. This it was direct to the rest of the wolf pack.
There Wolf shrill cries and calls for another fellow help.
Yan Xiang tilt his head to see what had happened, then his face was frozen completely. In front of him lay a massive wolf with his chest destroyed, but what most shocked him was that not far behind the rest of the wolf pack was treated like it was wood and is been chopped for making firewood.
"What!!..."
Moreover, wolves were acting as if seen their worst nightmare and they began to retreat leaving their fellow behind,
Yan Xiang heart skips a bit when his eyes set on a spider-like with a black shiny shell with a touch of metallic and teeth that look powerful and sharp like pliers.
The Bigs insect seems to have no intention of attacking. But when he noted he was already surrounded, although the big insect wasn't made any move this makes his heart more disturbing. Because they stood unmoved as if waiting for orders.
The man pursuing Yan Xiang had just wake up from his shock he had analysed the situation and had come to the conclusion that it was best for to make a run for it. Actually, the thing that convinced him for a run was how much of the mechanical robot he sees. There around more than 100 robots including some of them in the air
" fiissSSS"
Not long after the man starts dash forward a blue light shot forward landing in a tree just before the man. Then several nearby trees exploded into bits as dirt completely block the man run.
But how could Fei Heng let him run after all the work he had.
A small-time passed one of the robots that were closest to Yan Xiang raise its arm. Then Yan Xiang face completely fell to the ground was the see the robot signalizing him to follow as the robot starts to move forward.
"~~~~~"
Yan Xiang and the man that was in the middle of a plaza. The plaza was gigantic was one in its centre could not see its end nor its beginning.
Yan Xiang was completely perplexed it was clearly for him that this was not a demonic beast but this didn't make him feel more relaxed it was completely the opposite. His back starts to sweat like never before because for him only people with a high realm of cultivation could possibly have this arm of puppets.
Because in front of him there are around thousand of puppets including some in the skies and some, even more, in the distance there was a clear blue light from time to time. Yan Xiang felt a dread from this light as he clearly recognizes this light has been the cause of a wolf massacre.
Yan Xiang start to think to himself 'Well, having so many puppets. This clearly shows that he didn't want to kill us or else he would have done it at that time...'
' At least for now'. Yan Xiang end is though. He raises his head to look at a distance not so far away from the center of the plaza, Yan Xiang could see a man sat on top of a mechanical robot. The man wore an odd set of clothes his eyes were constantly flash with a sign of a different gaze: sometimes he would reveal curiosity, sometimes it would reveal excitement, but it would often reveal an unknown gaze.
This man was none other than Fei Heng. The first contact with humans in this world, Fei Heng must, of course, ensure his own safety first. And that was why he had all this robot around the plaza.
"Thanks for senior rescue! My name is Yan Xiang! " Yan Xiang talk was he made a bow to accompany his words. Although Yan Xiang voice sounds weak but it reveals calm and filled with respect and appreciation.
The man seen Yan Xiang take the lead he hastily makes a bow and speaks.
"Thanks for prestige senior rescue! My name is Yan Huo"
" Without senior assistance, I didn't know what would have been of my life " Yan Huo talk again to look even more gratified than Yan Xiang.
Fei Heng only looks at them and gave a nod with his head.
But after the two man word what only followed was silence. They didn't know what Fei Heng was thinking
'To contact people on this planet in such a way.' Fei Heng constantly thinking to himself. Looking like he had completely ignored the two-man words.
'What to do now?.... How not to look soo Alien....'. He was getting stressed from too much thinking.
After a while of thinking, he decided to not talk much and get the much information he can.
'Beep! Langue simulation over. Initiate langue transference?' A mechanical voice sound in Fei Heng.
Fei Heng could communicate with the base directly in his mind that was thanks to the crystal he assimilated when he first came. but he felt strange the first time he try to talk to the base through his mind and for him to talk like that make him sound crazy.
'Initiate' The reason Fei Heng didn't talk yet was that he was waiting for the base to end the langue reconstruction base on the little information of langue from these two. Although the base IA didn't have wisdom and its own will but its capacity to analyze was no comparison.
The first thing he did was to hear the replay of what just these two people said.
After hearing he turn his eyes to look at the two people still standing in front of him
"You We,lome".
"My nane is Fe...i H.eng. The Ruker af h;ere "
The two men after wearing the Fei Heng speak they a small shock but their face was I still with a mask of someone bowing to the Emperor. The image of a magnificent person that they had of Fei Heng was shredder a bit. That was because the way Fei Heng talk was like someone that barely had star learn to speak.
" Wh,o are yo,u pio,pli? W.hat ar.e you gus are d.ing h,ere? "
Fei Heng asked with his almost incomprehensible word. Although he knew the word and how to make correctly phrases and even sounds of each word but he still felt that the way he was speaking was wrong. That was because still need to train more his muscle before he could sound correctly. And he was not caring much though because he knew that was just a matter of training.
Although the words were badly spoken but the meaning could still be understood.
Yan Huo take the lead this time
"Honourable Senior I'm the first son of the current master of Yan clan." He pauses to see if he could he any reaction from Fei Heng. He did that because the Yan clan used to be one of the middle-rank clan of Southern River Domain.
'So there are clan and where is the Southern River Domain' Fei Heng was extracting as much information he could.
Yan Huo after seen that Fei Heng did not give much attention when said his clan name e continue
"I was chasing this theft that stole your clan most precious treasure " When Yan Huo said treasure he put an enface to the word.
