Chapter 206: No Way Out To Speak Of
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“In front of the enemy, the greatest taboo is to panic. Calm down first,” Xiao Jin said slowly.
The Sky Alpha Cult was able to make Tiger Might and the others turn pale, so it was definitely not some riff-raff that could be easily dealt with. However, Xiao Jin’s camp would not compromise so easily.
Su Ying stood up and walked out of the hall.
When he saw this, Xiao Jin asked, “Where are you going?”
Su Ying turned around and glanced at him. “1 ate too much. I’m going for a walk to digest my food.”
Xiao Jin frowned. Whenever she ate too much, she normally wanted to lie down and sleep. She had never once said she needed a walk to help with digestion before.
“You’re going to the Azure Dragon Base.”
When everyone heard this, they turned to look at Su Ying.
Su Ying raised her eyebrows and didn’t deny it. “I’m just going to take a look.”
Tiger Might stood up and said, “Madam Su, it’s too dangerous for you to go alone.”
“That’s right. Those people are definitely not like ordinary people.”
Su Ying responded, “Don’t worry. I’m just going to hide in the dark and take a look. I won’t make any move.”
Meng Zi frowned. “The noses of their beasts are very sharp. They can detect the scent of a foreign entity with just one sniff.”
“They have noses, and I have drugs. I’m going to find out more about them.” Only then would she be able to come up with a countermeasure.
“I’ll go. You stay at home.” Xiao Jin stood up and walked to her side.
Su Ying rejected his suggestion and replied, “I’ll go. You stay behind and watch over this place. I’ll be back soon.”
Xiao Jin wanted to say more, but Su Ying grabbed his hand and looked at him solemnly with her almond-shaped eyes. “I will definitely return.”
Xiao Jin’s brows furrowed even more tightly. When he saw Su Ying’s determined expression, he could only give in. “Don’t fight them head-on.”
Su Ying nodded. “Alright.”
When everyone heard Su Ying’s insistence on going, they could only remind her to be extremely careful.
Su Ying’s slender figure quickly disappeared into the night.
She rode her horse to the slope and galloped out through the door.
They had planted fruit trees on the slope and opened up a path below. It was much easier to travel than before.
She sped all the way to the Azure Dragon Base on her horse.
From afar, she could see the flames dancing at the gate of the Azure Dragon Base.
Su Ying dismounted from her horse and placed it in her interspatial store before feeling her way to the gate of the Azure Dragon Base in the dark. She discovered that the ground outside the gate was covered in blood, and there were also some corpses badly mutilated by bite marks.
Su Ying stepped forward to have a quick inspection of the wounds on the corpses. They were all similar to Wu Feng’s wounds, and one could tell with just one look that they had been bitten by ferocious beasts.
In the darkness of the cold night, there were only the crackling sounds of torches and the whistling sounds of the chilly wind.
As Su Ying walked through the shattered gate, she was greeted by the overwhelming smell of blood mixed with the cold wind.
The snow-covered ground was dyed red with blood. Corpses were strewn all over the ground haphazardly, and many of them had their internal organs torn out.
The sound of the cold wind grew increasingly stronger until it made Su Ying’s ears hurt.
She took out the detector and turned it on. There was not a single red dot on the device.
There were no survivors in the Azure Dragon Base anymore!
Su Ying walked to the grain warehouse. The door of the grain warehouse was wide open, and the inside was totally empty.
There was nothing left.
Tiger Might had said that the Azure Dragon Base had several thousand people. Had they all been killed?
Su Ying walked warily through the Azure Dragon Base. There were marks left by the claws of ferocious beasts everywhere. She released her horse from her interspatial store and mounted it. After that, she rode her horse one round through the Azure Dragon Base.
Everywhere she went, she only saw a sea of blood.
The Azure Dragon Base was different from the Tiger Base. This place was completely ruled by Wu Feng and his men, so the residents in the Azure Dragon Base congregated in a more densely-packed place.
Su Ying came to the front of one of the ordinary houses and dismounted. The wooden door had fallen to the ground. She stood outside the house and looked inside. The house was pitch black. She took out a torchlight and walked in.
In the hall, there was a corpse whose head had been torn off.
Further in, there was a woman lying on the ground. The woman was holding a rattle-drum tightly in her hand. There was a cloth bundle wrapped around a child on the bed, but the child was gone.
Su Ying turned around and left the room. She entered several houses in a row, and the situation inside was basically the same.
The houses were either filled with dead people or they were empty houses. There was no one alive, not even livestock.
Su Ying walked out of the houses with an icy expression on her face, mounted her horse, and left the Azure Dragon Base.
By the time she returned to the Tiger Base, the sky was already bright.
Tiger Might and the others were still waiting in the hall. None of them had left.
Qiao Yang was the first to rush out and open the courtyard gate when he heard movement coming from the courtyard.
“Madam Su, you are back.”
Su Ying nodded and walked into the courtyard. Upon hearing the commotion, everyone came out of the house.
When everyone saw that there were no signs of fighting on Su Ying’s body, they couldn’t help heaving a sigh of relief.
“Madam Su, how is it? What happened to the Azure Dragon Base?”
“All slain.”
Those few short words instantly made one’s hair stand on end.
” All… slain…”
That was thousands of people! They were all slain just like that?
“What’s the situation over there?” Tiger Might said with trepidation.
Su Ying replied with an ominous expression, “There’s blood all over the ground. There’s no one left alive. Corpses torn apart by ferocious beasts are everywhere. The grain warehouse is also empty. Even the livestock are not spared.”
They had thought that the Azure Dragon Base would be punished by the Sky Alpha Cult, but they didn’t think that the Sky Alpha Cult would kill them all! This was too ruthless!
“What should we do? Even the Azure Dragon Base has been massacred. What should we do? It’s not too late to run now and hide. We can always come back after we dodge this calamity!” Long Ba panicked. He wished he could grow wings and fly away now.
Qiao Yang said with a snort. “Hide? Long Ba, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, it will still be easy for them to catch you. Besides, we’re all stateless exiles. Where can we hide?”
When they were exiled to the northern wilderness, their original citizenships were removed. Now, they were people without roots and had nowhere to hide at all.
“If we can’t hide from them, then let’s face them head-on!” Su Ying’s brows furrowed as she returned to the hall and sat down.
“It wasn’t easy for the Tiger Base to become what it is today. I, Su Ying, will never allow it to be trampled on wantonly.”
Meng Zi and the others followed her into the house.
“However, we are not their match at all. If we really fight… we have no chance of winning.”
Xiao Jin took out a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone and unfolded a large piece of fine writing paper in front of everyone. “We might not have a chance of winning if we attack, but it’s not impossible for us to defend.”
“That’s right. We won’t attack, but we can defend.”
“But…”
Su Ying suddenly raised her eyes and her dark almond-shaped eyes stared icily into everyone’s eyes. “No buts. We have no way out to speak of.”
When he saw the determination in Su Ying’s eyes, Meng Zi’s gaze gradually became resolute. “Madam Su is right. We have no way out to speak of.”
If he were single and alone in this world, he could live in any part of the world. However, he had a family with him. Did he want his family to lead a homeless life with him?
Since he was unwilling, he could only fight!
