When I woke up, I wanted to go home.

Chapter 278 People Inside the Earth's Core

"I didn't expect that someone would actually be able to track me all the way here?"

He's a human... and he's leading a bunch of random races!

The young man did not answer Zhu Chongjiu's question.

After looking at the group of children and the Thirteen Protectors behind Zhu Chongjiu, he said some things that Zhu Chongjiu couldn't understand.

Seeing this, Zhu Chongjiu abandoned his previous question and continued to ask the young man.

"Why couldn't someone have tracked them down here?"

"It's been a long time since I've spoken to someone like you."

It must have been tens of thousands of years, right?

The tickets for the Void Ark appear only once every hundred years, totaling three thousand throughout the entire Proterozoic Era.

However, it was not particularly precious in the vast Proterozoic Eon.

Do you know what the question is?

Hearing that the young man opposite him still hadn't answered his question, Zhu Chongjiu replied with a hint of impatience, "Is it because entering the Ancient God Ruins Continent is easy, but getting out is as difficult as ascending to heaven?"

Just then, the young man was about to speak.

Zhu Chongjiu interrupted him, saying, "You'd better be able to maintain pleasant communication with me."

From the distance between us right now.

I could kill you a hundred times in the blink of an eye!

"Hahaha……!

Arrogant, conceited…

The young man opposite Zhu Chongjiu was like a period after a punctuation mark, even before the word "妄" (wàng, meaning presumptuous or delusional) was uttered.

Because Zhu Chongjiu's greatsword had already sliced ​​across his neck.

The young man's arrogant expression slowly turned into one of terror.

At the same time, he said, "You...you actually...!"

But he only said those three words.

His head then separated from his body.

After the head rolled off the neck, the body fell backward in an instant.

After doing all this, Zhu Chongjiu looked at the group of people opposite him who were still stunned and said, "Could someone who can understand and speak be here to talk to me?"

Zhu Chongjiu's voice interrupted the person's daze.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd cried out in terror, "He killed Young Master Yan!"

How to do?

He killed Young Master Yan!

We're still counting on Young Master Yan's family to rescue us from this place.

Now that Young Master Yan is dead, what should we do?

Hearing the man's words, many people also panicked.

Instantly, the crowd descended into chaos, like a pot of porridge.

It started getting noisy!

Although many people criticized Zhu Chongjiu, no one dared to confront him.

Seeing that these people didn't seem to be quiet anytime soon, Zhu Chongjiu turned around and called out, "Xiao Hei, come here!"

Xiao Hei, who had been constantly observing Zhu Chongjiu, rushed towards him immediately upon hearing his Ninth Brother's summons.

Unlike Zhu Chongjiu, who had walked step by step across the 10,000-meter distance, Xiao Hei did not do so.

Instead, it was like a streak of black light, arriving beside Zhu Chongjiu in an instant.

He then asked Zhu Chongjiu why he had been summoned.

Zhu Chongjiu turned to Xiao Hei's ear and shouted, "Xiao Hei, quickly give them a shout!"

Tell them to shut up.

Xiao Hei rubbed his ears, which were ringing from Zhu Chongjiu's shout, and then looked straight ahead.

After taking a natural inhale, as his mouth opened wide, a beastly roar that made one's blood boil resounded!

"Ouch~!"

Just as Xiao Hei's innate divine power "Dragon Roar Shatter" rang out, those people in the crowd...

Whether they were wary of Xiao Hei or didn't take Xiao Hei seriously at all.

Right now, they're all covering their ears and rolling around on the ground!

As Xiao Hei continued to unleash its beastly roars, some of the opponents began to bleed from their seven orifices.

Seeing this, Zhu Chongjiu quickly gestured to Xiao Hei, telling him to be more considerate.

If I keep shouting, I'll kill everyone on the other side.

Under Zhu Chongjiu's orders, the people on the other side finally stopped suffering from the excruciating headaches and the feeling that their heads were about to explode.

They were all lying on the ground, panting heavily.

Seeing the power of Xiao Hei's roar, Zhu Chongjiu couldn't help but praise him.

He said that after returning to his hometown, he would find him some endorsement advertisements for throat medicine.

In fact, Zhu Chongjiu knew very well that ancient mythical beasts like Xiao Hei were...

His innate supernatural abilities and destructive power are far more than that.

Do you really think that he was chosen by the creator to pull his chariot just because he runs fast?

You should know that in the vast universe, Xiao Hei and his race are not the only ones that can run fast!

After Zhu Chongjiu finished thinking about Xiao Hei, he looked at the group of people lying on the ground opposite him and said, "If you don't want to suffer that kind of pain again, then send two people who can understand and speak!"

As soon as Zhu Chongjiu finished speaking, several people who were not seriously injured quickly got up and came to Zhu Chongjiu.

However, they were just like the man whose head was chopped off by Zhu Chongjiu's sword just now.

Standing there, he didn't take another step forward.

Seeing that there seemed to be an invisible barrier in front of these people, Zhu Chongjiu asked directly, "Why can't you leave this area?"

“Young master, if we step out of this area, we will immediately turn into those monsters.”

As soon as one of them finished speaking, another immediately chimed in, "And if you go out outside of the designated time, you'll be stuck here forever and never be able to revert to human form."

Meanwhile, when the next night arrives.

We were forced to teleport to the ground.

Unable to transform back into human form, the cracks leading to the Earth's core will no longer appear beneath our feet after dawn.

This means we will remain in the world on Earth until we die.

Hearing that someone could finally answer his question in detail, Zhu Chongjiu impatiently continued to ask:

The guy you called Young Master Yan earlier seemed to be trying to lure me into your area.

why is that?"

Once you enter our area, all your cultivation and spiritual power will be suppressed and you will become a mortal again.

"If you actually get in, even if you're incredibly strong, can you take on ten thousand people at once?"

Upon hearing the man's reply, Zhu Chongjiu glanced down at the greatsword in his hand and muttered to himself, "I really want to try!"

Joking aside, what puzzled Zhu Chongjiu most after hearing these answers was...

"What is the purpose of the rat making these people carry things back and forth like this every day?"

If the goal is simply to instill a sense of crisis in those who come here for training, then these monsters transformed from humans could easily be used.

They hide in caves during the day.

Then they come out to hunt after dark.

Why create another inner world and then another special region?

The most mysterious thing is that it allows these people to recover their cultivation and return to their original form.

It's like constantly telling them, "Don't forget what you were like before."

That's not right either.

If this is the only reason, then why create a special region in the Earth's core where people can't return if they leave outside within a specified time?

Is this a method of governance intended to make these people obedient while still holding onto hope?

It's the kind of thing where I can give you a glimmer of hope and a fantasy.

But the prerequisite is that you must execute my orders meticulously.

Otherwise, I'll make sure you suffer eternal damnation!

Zhu Chongjiu shook his head, still thinking about this.

He felt that the idea was still not clear enough.

There must be other things I haven't thought of.

While Zhu Chongjiu was deep in thought, the people opposite him stood there somewhat uneasy.

Seeing that his ninth brother hadn't spoken for a long time, Xiao Hei asked about those people.

How big is this special area of ​​yours?

What else is inside besides you?

Zhu Chongjiu's contemplation was interrupted by Xiao Hei's two unexpected questions.

However, it was also Xiao Hei's two questions that made Zhu Chongjiu want to slap himself.

The problem must lie in this particular area.

Especially after Xiao Hei finished asking the question, he saw that the people opposite him started stammering and unable to answer.

Or perhaps they simply don't want to talk about it.

This phenomenon made Zhu Chongjiu even more certain that there was something wrong with the special area in front of him.

"Xiao Hei, if they haven't answered your two questions in ten seconds, then yell at them twice!"

Oh, right, shout it a little harder than you did before.

I think their heads look itchy again.

"Put in some effort and give them a good itch-relieving experience!"

After saying that, Zhu Chongjiu began to count down the seconds.

"eleven"!
