Chapter 190: Sai Yue and Qing Xiao on the Magic Continent 2
“I’m afraid so, what should we do, destroy them all?”
Qing Xiao looked at Sai Yue, momentarily at a loss. These things were beyond their comprehension. Although lives were cheap on the Magic Continent and could be bought and sold freely, this was the first time they had seen them used for experiments.
Sai Yue felt for a breath on the person on the bed. “This person is already dead. Although I don’t know how Wu Qi and the others managed to make the dead and mermaid remains come alive, the methods must have been extremely cruel. Burn them all. Leave no one here alive. While we may not be able to completely eradicate the tumor, we can at least reduce a large portion of the pests.”
“Mm.”
After making their decision, the two released their magic beasts. The powerful wizards and magic beasts were handled by the Hellhounds, while the others were dealt with by Sai Yue and Qing Xiao’s magic beasts.
Standing outside the hospital, blending in with the crowd, they watched the hospital collapse in a roar. When the underground laboratory was exposed, everyone present was shocked.
They only knew that the Witch Hospital engaged in human trafficking, which was normal in the eyes of many. Ordinary slaves were usually passed through such transit stations. However, using people for such insane experiments was not normal.
What’s more, some of these people were even their family members!
“My, my son!!!”
An elderly woman suddenly rushed forward. She hugged a young man whose head was half-buried in the dirt, revealing him to be the man whose legs had been severed in the laboratory, whom they had seen earlier.
He looked to be between twenty and thirty years old. They didn’t know why he was imprisoned in the laboratory, and now he was reunited with his family in such a state.
Such scenes continued to unfold, and Sai Yue couldn’t help but tear up. Qing Xiao held her hand and said softly, “Let’s go, we need to meet up with Master.”
“Mm.”
The two turned and left, behind them were the sounds of crying and heart-wrenching wails. No matter how much they called out, the dead would never return.
“Qing Xiao, we, before…”
“Don’t think about it, let it be.”
“Mm.”
The two walked against the crowd towards the outskirts of the small town. All they heard were curses and cries of grief, which became increasingly unbearable.
Unable to bear it any longer, the two directly summoned their Hellhounds. After a brief discussion, they mounted the Hellhounds and sped away.
After half a month, Sang Chu and his group finally arrived at a second-tier city—Xiang Yang City.
Looking at the sunflower carved from large golden stones on the city gate, Mu Xue found it a bit strange.
“Sang Sang, this, does this city gate have to be carved in this shape?”
Second-tier cities were grand. Even standing outside the city gate before entering, one could feel the magnificence of the city. However, for such a grand and magnificent city, the city gate was a giant sunflower. It wasn’t ugly, just… very strange.
Sai Yue and Qing Xiao had already reunited with Sang Chu and the others. They thought the city gate was beautiful and didn’t understand why Mu Xue looked so conflicted. Sai Yue asked in confusion, “Isn’t it quite pretty?”
Mu Xue replied, “It’s not that it’s not pretty, it’s just… it looks a bit strange.”
Sang Chu looked at the large gate and understood why Mu Xue found it strange.
The sunflower was carved vividly, with a lifelike center and stem. However, their distance from the city gate made it look somewhat indescribably odd.
Sang Chu said, “It probably won’t look strange up close. After we go in, everyone will split up and buy whatever they like. Don’t worry about money. Once I’m inside, I’ll sell the prey I have and transfer the money to you.
Everyone wear your Rose Wizard Robes and try to pay with Rose Crystal Cards. The identity of a wizard from Rose City is quite useful. I have a total of four Hellhounds, so we’ll split into four small teams. You can decide how to form them. Don’t count me; Tu You and I will go separately. Everyone should buy as much as possible that can be used in the Apocalypse. Even if something is trash in this world, it might be useful in the Apocalypse.”
Mu Xue asked, “Sang Sang, aren’t you going to shop with us?”
Sang Chu replied, “No, everyone go ahead and buy. I’ll go sell my prey first, then find accommodation for everyone, and then inquire about the slave market in Xiang Yang City. The more magic beasts, the better. Oh, and if you see any white or purple magic cards in the magic houses, buy some. If they’re too expensive, just buy one for me. If not, it’s fine.”
Lu Min Feng said, “Okay, in that case, give me a Hellhound. Xiao Xue and I will be one team. Then, let’s see who else is willing to join us.”
Xiao Yi Fei said, “Then A Wen and I will be together. We’ll take one.”
Seeing that four teams had already been formed, Sang Chu lowered his head and smiled helplessly. “In that case, my brother will take one card, Min Feng will take one, Sai Yue will take one, and Grandma Yun Xiang will take one. That makes exactly four teams. Discuss among yourselves how to form your groups. We’ll enter the city first.”
“Mm-hmm.”
As the carriage approached the city gate, it was stopped by the guards. “Outside carriages are not allowed to enter the city, nor are they allowed to be used within the city. Please disembark, pay the entry crystal coins, and proceed on foot.”
The soldier’s voice was loud and clear. Sang Chu and his group alighted from the carriage. Seeing that they were all wearing high-level wizard robes with rose patterns, the soldier’s expression froze for a moment. He then softened his tone and said, “My apologies, esteemed sirs. These are the rules of Xiang Yang City. We beg your forgiveness for any inconvenience!”
Sang Chu handed over the crystal coin card. “It’s fine, let’s follow the rules. All crystal coins will be charged to my card.”
Upon seeing the rose card, the soldier’s attitude instantly became respectful. “Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness. Crystal coins are not necessary. Please keep your card and enter the city.”
The soldiers immediately formed a line and respectfully opened the city gate to welcome Sang Chu and his group. This was the first time they had received such treatment.
Along the way, Mu Xue was very curious. “Why is this different from other cities? We never received this kind of treatment in other cities!”
Sai Yue, although a black wizard, had traveled more and had some understanding. She explained, “Because Rose City is a first-tier major city, and there is only one. Possessing a Rose Wizard Robe only indicates that you are from Rose City, but having a Rose Crystal Coin Card signifies that you are a member of Rose City’s royalty. Royalty is a symbol of power. The higher the city’s tier, the more respectful they are towards royalty. Conversely, those in remote areas are not like this.”
Mu Xue exclaimed, “Oh, oh, so this is what they call ‘the mountains are high and the emperor is far away,’ right!”
Sai Yue nodded slightly. “Yes, there are thirteen second-tier cities in total, and Xiang Yang City ranks at the very bottom. As we head towards Rose City, we will pass through thirteen second-tier cities. If every city treats us with the same attitude as Xiang Yang City, our journey will be much smoother.”
