Chapter 243 - The Fate Of The Desolate Hunters!

Ren Qi was stunned when he saw Yang Mei on the giant figure’s shoulder.

He had wondered about the origins of the giant figure, but he never expected it to come from Yang Mei.

However, Ren Qi realized that Yang Mei was only standing on the giant figure, and there was no direct connection between them.

What was going on?

Where did the ‘baby’ come from?

Before Ren Qi could react, a few figures in front of Yang Mei began to expand rapidly. Then, they turned into figures that looked exactly the same as the gigantic figure beneath Yang Mei.

These figures had huge bodies, but their muscles were very distorted. From afar, they looked like they had been pieced together.

They were filled with strangeness and absurdity.

Seeing these huge figures tear the earth dragons in front of them into two halves, Ren Qi frowned slightly.

They had seen the defensive power of these earth dragons before. They could definitely be said to be at the peak of Tier 9.

However, these huge figures could easily tear them apart. How much strength did they have?

A Tier 9 aura and a power that surpassed Tier 9!

What exactly were these things?

Ren Qi’s gaze fell on Yang Mei. Perhaps only she could have an answer.

Speaking of which, it had been a long time since Yang Mei had left his territory. Previously, he had felt that the desolate hunters could come up with a brand new strategy.

Now, it seemed that Yang Mei had done it.

Compared to the new lords, desolate hunters like Yang Mei were more dangerous in the black fog.

After all, without the protection of their territories and troops, they could only rely on themselves.

The death rate of desolate hunters would rise to an extremely terrifying level compared to the new lords.

If they wanted to survive, they needed to walk their own path.

The path to survive in this place!

Just as Ren Qi was thinking, Yang Mei, who was on top of the huge figure, moved.

Boom!

A huge aura spread out from Yang Mei’s body. She flipped over and jumped down, landing on the ground.

Bang!

Her feet stepped on the body of a black earth dragon, which immediately fell to the ground. Soon after, cracks appeared on its scales.

Then, it suddenly shattered!

Yang Mei directly stepped on an earth dragon and killed it.

Following that, Yang Mei suddenly rushed out and quickly headed toward Ren Qi’s succubus territory.

It was as if an aura had surged out of her body. Her palm turned into a blade as she continuously swung it at the surrounding earth dragons that were swarming toward her.

These arrogant earth dragons seemed to be unable to withstand a single blow when facing Yang Mei’s thin and small body. Before they could even get close to Yang Mei, their bodies seemed to have been cut off by some sharp blade as they quickly fell to the ground.

Following Yang Mei’s charge, those huge figures also followed Yang Mei’s footsteps and swiftly rushed towards Ren Qi’s succubus territory.

Soon, Yang Mei arrived at the base of the succubus territory’s city wall. She suddenly stomped her feet, and her body swiftly rushed up. She had actually directly arrived at the top of the city wall.

Ren Qi looked at Yang Mei who had appeared in front of him and slightly raised his eyebrows.

“Whoosh!”

Yang Mei seemed to have been holding her breath. She came to the top of the city wall and exhaled.

A white wave of air was exhaled from Yang Mei’s mouth and quickly spread to the front, forming a fog that was neither too big nor too small.

The fog quickly disappeared, but it was enough to see how long Yang Mei had held her breath.

Ren Qi also discovered that, as a wave of air was released, the powerful aura on Yang Mei’s body quickly fell.

“I didn’t expect you to come and help me.” Ren Qi looked at Yang Mei in front of him and softly laughed.

As a desolate hunter in the succubus territory, Yang Mei did not do anything extreme. Both parties got along quite well.

Yang Mei also smiled. “I happened to be around, so I thought of coming over to take a look. I didn’t expect to find that your territory was besieged by these things.”

Ren Qi said, “It seems that you’ve seen these tarnished before?”

Yang Mei frowned. “Are these things called tarnished? It’s quite appropriate for their condition.”

“I’ve dealt with them several times. I’m very familiar with them.”

Ren Qi nodded. Yang Mei had obviously concealed some information, but that was normal.

After all, his relationship with Yang Mei hadn’t reached the point where the other party could completely open their hearts to him.

At that moment, Ren Qi saw that the earth dragon that had emerged from the black fog had been cut off. It seemed that their numbers had reached its limit.

Under Ren Qi’s gaze, the black fog began to slowly disappear.

It looked like it was going to disappear completely.

Ren Qi heaved a sigh of relief. This time, the tarnished incident should be over.

The black earth dragons below didn’t have any follow-up reinforcements. The entire battle line began to rapidly advance away from the city wall.

A large number of earth dragons were killed, and the black mass began to disappear. Only the earth dragons’ corpses were left in front of the succubus territory.

The huge figures that followed Yang Mei also came to the lower part of the wall of the succubus territory.

Ren Qi found that these huge figures were all human figures, and he could even clearly distinguish their faces. However, their faces were slightly distorted because of the swelling.

And above these huge figures, there were many human figures. These human figures were dressed the same as Yang Mei. There were men and women.

Ren Qi glanced around and found that there were about twenty human figures above these huge figures. Among them, Ren Qi only remembered three of them. They were the desolate hunters who had left the succubus territory with Yang Mei.

The others were all unfamiliar faces.

In other words, after leaving the succubus territory, Yang Mei’s team had suffered a great deal of damage. Only three people that had followed her out previously had returned.

The remaining people should be the desolate hunters that Yang Mei had absorbed later.

However, from the fact that there were only three people left in the team that Yang Mei had left with, it could be inferred that the surviving desolate hunters had probably experienced a narrow escape.

This was the fate of the desolate hunters.

They were facing the threat of death at any time and any place.

However, the desolate hunters in front of them clearly stood out from the team.

They survived and gained even more strength.

Yang Mei waved her hand, and the huge figures below brought the people on them and quickly charged towards the earth dragon.

The human figures on those huge figures were like Yang Mei, possessing extremely powerful strength.

Seeing those huge figures and human figures continuously killing the remaining earth dragon, Ren Qi’s eyes could not help but reveal a hint of amazement.

The strength of humans could actually kill a Tier-9 black earth dragon!

However, Ren Qi had also discovered that when the huge figures fought, they would take in a deep breath, and after the battle was over, they would exhale that breath.

Between each exhale and exhale, it would last for a maximum of 30 breaths.

After exhaling that breath, they would need to rest for 10 minutes before they could continue to attack.

During this time, the huge figures under the human figures formed a barrier to protect them from the attack and focus on recovering their strength.

The two formed a very strange coordination.

Ren Qi frowned slightly and looked a little confused.

What exactly were those huge figures?

They seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.

Just as Ren Qi was thinking about it, Yang Mei’s gaze fell on Ren Qi.

“Lord Ren Qi, can you give me some of the corpses of the tarnished below?”

Ren Qi was slightly stunned when he heard Yang Mei’s words. He didn’t expect her to ask for the corpses of the tarnished.

From this point of view, Yang Mei and Xu Xinghe had the same goal.

“Sure.” Ren Qi nodded.

Although he didn’t know what Yang Mei’s goal was, since she had come over to help him, these tarnished were of no use to Ren Qi. Naturally, he could give them to her.

Yang Mei nodded. Then, she placed her hand in her mouth and let out a sharp whistle.

The sound of the whistle spread quickly. Those huge figures and human figures all heard it.

Soon after, Ren Qi saw those huge figures start to greedily gather the corpses of the surrounding black earth dragons to their side.

These huge figures grabbed the corpses of the pitch-black earth dragons beside them and directly opened their mouths to bite them.

Flesh and blood splattered everywhere. These huge figures feasted on the corpses of the earth dragons, looking very happy.

It was as if devouring the corpses of these earth dragons was the greatest enjoyment for them.

Ren Qi frowned when he saw this. He didn’t expect that Yang Mei wanted the corpses of the tarnished to feed these huge figures.

With the help of Yang Mei and the others, as well as the fact that new earth dragons no longer appeared from the black fog, the earth dragons below were quickly cleared.

Soon, only a large number of earth dragons’ corpses were left below the succubus territory.

Those huge figures continued to devour the earth dragons’ corpses.

This made Ren Qi feel a little surprised.

Even Xu Xinghe’s black dragons couldn’t devour too many of the tarnished to avoid going crazy.

However, these huge figures seemed to have no restrictions as they gobbled up the corpses of the tarnished without losing control of their emotions.

It was as if the mental disorder caused by swallowing the tarnished had no effect on them.

After all the earth dragons were killed and the huge figures were almost done eating, they slowly brought the human figures to Ren Qi’s succubus territory.

Then, Ren Qi heard Yang Mei whistle again.

As the whistle sounded, Ren Qi could clearly see that the huge figures below were rapidly shrinking.

It was as if a balloon was leaking air, rapidly losing gas.

The human figures on the huge figures jumped down one after another and quietly stood guard by the side.

Soon, the huge figures completely shrank and became people the size of normal people.

These people had many wounds on their bodies, and their bodies were generally a little fat. All kinds of flesh and blood stuck to their bodies, making them look a little disgusting.

At this moment, all of them had gold coins in their eyes, as if they had fallen into a deep sleep.

The human figures around them did not dislike them at all. They carried these people who had returned to their normal size on their backs. Then, they took a deep breath and quickly jumped up, arriving at the city wall of the succubus territory.

The succubi led by Elise looked at these people with vigilance.

After all, the combat strength that these people had just displayed was very strong!

Li Tianlan and Li Linan, who were standing on the side, looked at Yang Mei and the others in astonishment.

They knew very well that these were the new lords who had become desolate hunters. They were just human beings.

They had never thought that these people could display such powerful combat strength!

These people carried the sleeping people behind Yang Mei. Other than the three people who had followed Yang Mei, the others looked at Ren Qi and the others warily.

“Don’t be nervous. This is the Lord Ren Qi I told you about. I’ve been living in his territory before,” Yang Mei pointed at Ren Qi and said to the people behind her.

Although they heard Yang Mei’s words, the people behind them only relaxed a little. They didn’t let down their guard completely.

Ren Qi didn’t say anything. These hunters who survived the battle didn’t trust others.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have survived.

The Dark Elf Queen also returned to the city wall. She looked at Yang Mei and the others with a strange look in her eyes.

Obviously, she was also surprised by Yang Mei and the others’ behavior.

“Let’s go inside and talk,” Ren Qi looked at Yang Mei, Li Tianlan, and the others and said.

Yang Mei nodded and then communicated with the person behind her. Then, she looked at Ren Qi and said, “They don’t want to enter the succubus territory. Let them rest outside. I can go in alone.”

Ren Qi nodded slightly and didn’t show any dissatisfaction.

These desolate hunters were very cautious. If it weren’t for Yang Mei, they wouldn’t have come close.

Judging from the current situation, Yang Mei was still the leader of this group of desolate hunters.

After letting the succubus clean up the battlefield, Ren Qi brought Yang Mei and the others to the meeting hall in the territory.

After everyone had taken their seats, Ren Qi glanced at them and slowly said, “Thank you all for coming to help us this time. If you need anything, just let me know.”

Although Li Tianlan and Li Linan didn’t need to say anything, Xu Xinghe and Yang Mei had come to help. He still had to pay for their help.

Hearing Ren Qi’s words, Xu Xinghe said directly, “Leader Ren Qi, I’m already your subordinate. Don’t talk about the reward, lest you ruin me.”

“If you really want to give me some, just give me some of the bodies of the tarnished.”

Previously, Xu Xinghe had always been relatively cold and aloof. Even if he wanted to build a good relationship with Ren Qi, he was neither servile nor overbearing.

However, after hearing Ren Qi talk about the Holy Stone, Xu Xinghe changed his previous attitude.

He also started bootlicking.

Yang Mei heard this and said directly, “We only want the corpses of the tarnished!”
