Chapter 599 - The Humanoid Beast Queen
Chapter 599
(Unedited)
..
Surrounding a single person is the unconscious bodies of soldiers donned in a piece of leather armor numbering less than 30. The fight a while ago took only a couple of minutes before it ended with these powerful soldiers being defeated by a single person with ease.
As Shin Jiao stood in the middle, he has observed these people and concluded that they are not like those beastmen who resembles human but has traces of a beast in their bodies.
The soldiers around him are truly just like ordinary humans however they only have that additional appendage behind them. Plus, even when they are raging, there are no changes in their appearance. They would just look like an angry crazy person.
Hence this truly made him intrigued.
Looking at the beautiful figure not far from him Shin Jiao gave her a sneer and provokes her.
Squinting her eyes, the woman took a step back while her tail flicked. Shin Jiao noticed that her tail is snow white in color just like her skin and at the tip is a clump of brown hair. He knew that it was not natural and that this female groom her tail really well.
"If you don't answer me I will directly kill everyone in here." Shin Jiao said as he took a step forward. With a raise of his hand, a long brown sword which he casually takes out from the pile of weapons inside his ring came out.
The tip of the sword is currently pointing at one of the soldiers lying on the ground which looks like a young woman. Shin Jiao carefully cut the bun on her hair and the splendid black hair flowed and made her appearance more gentle and pitiful.
"Stop! Stop!" shouted the female general.historical
Shin Jiao stop from his advance and retrieve the sword into his ring. The female general swallows a mouthful of saliva upon seeing this. Although she didn't know how that young person did such a thing, she knew that she could not offend this powerful person.
"So you can really talk.. this is getting interesting. Well, I don't want to fight or anything, and you people started it. I'm just a traveler, so I just want my peace.. However, now that I have met such interesting creatures, I want to know more." Shin Jiao said while folding his arms on his chest.
The general could not withstand his gaze and immediately crumbled. She gulped and then lower her head.
"This one is just a soldier of my army. However, we have a vast army on the horizon. If worst comes to worst I will offer my life and let you suffer an end in the hands of my queen." She said while gritting her teeth.
Upon hearing this, Shin Jiao could not help but chuckle for a bit.
"Pfft.. I'm not that stupid to face you whole army you know.. however, I am also confident that after killing you, I can escape this place.. I can even assassinate your so-called queen if I wanted to and no one can stop me.." Shin Jiao said and when saying his last sentence the woman heard his voice close to her ears which startled her greatly.
She looks around and found no one, and then suddenly she saw the figure of the man already 50 meters away from her. It was as if he moves like the wind and could travel a few meters in an instant. This causes her to be drenched in a cold sweat.
"The humans are not simple.." she just muttered and walked towards her companions.
After checking their conditions, she took out a vial from her pouch and made those fainted soldiers sniff and whiff of it. With that everyone slowly wakes up.
While this is happening, a tall beautiful woman is currently standing to stop a tree while watching this proceeding. This woman is the queen of the Li'angs from Under City, Queen Klo.
She's been the queen of the Under City for so many years now after her predecessors have died. However, under her guidance, the Under City grew massive. For some unknown reason, Queen Klo's lifespan is abnormal. Unlike her predecessors who could only live up to 50 to 80 years, she has already lived for more than 100 years and her appearance is still not changing.
For some reason, she maintained her young woman's appearance and is already used to it. As a queen, she met many human rulers and captured the hearts of many kings, princes, and nobles. However, they dare not offend her because of the matter that happened to the current king of Yun kingdom many years ago.
"This human is different from the rest.. He is.. powerful.. is he like us? Is he also a Li'ang?" she muttered to herself as her figure suddenly vanished from the spot.
..
Shin Jiao continue walking towards the direction of the city leisurely. However, in truth, he has already prepared his countermeasure if ever anything appears from his surroundings. He just laments to the fact that he could not casually use his absolute sense to detect any enemy from his surroundings.
While walking something seems to be bugging him about these creatures called Li'ang. If they truly are just like humans and can talk like one, then there is a possibility that these creatures have a wide net of information.
If this is true, then there is a way for him to know how to find a path to exit this prison world. But of course, this is just a possibility. His greatest bet would still be in the Empire of Silver Moon.
Suddenly, with just using his sharp senses he faintly hears some irregularities in the air and immediately knew that someone is following him from the trees.
Shin Jiao casually stopped and suddenly turn towards a tree and suddenly lowered his pants to pee.
High up from the trees when Queen Klo saw what Shin Jiao is doing, she immediately closes her eyes. However, as soon as she did this, she immediately heard a sharp wind and her defenses immediately kick in. Without opening her eyes, she raised her hand to block the incoming fist.
But she soon felt something strange. This is because that fist suddenly turned into a hand and with a simple pat swatted her arm and directly grabbed her slender long neck.
This made her open her eyes in disbelief and saw a handsome young man looking directly into her crimson eyes.
"Who are you? And why are following me?" Shin Jiao asked in a cold tone.
Although the woman in front of him is really beautiful, he has no time to admire her beauty as he has no time to spend talking to her, when he was about to tighten his grip to kill this woman who looks like an assassin, he noticed a snow-white fleshy tail wiggling behind in-between her legs.
"You're not a human.. you're one of them.. Speak, why are you following me?" Shin Jiao asked.
But he noticed the complexion of the woman getting paler and removes his hand.
The beautiful female fell on the ground while gasping for breath while coughing so hard and holding her heaving chest.
"Cough.. cough.. you.. you almost killed me.." she said in-between her breaths.
Shin Jiao didn't reply and just stood there while watching the female warrior.
"I.. I don't mean any harm.. I just wanted to.. to observe you, that's all." She said as she gained her composure and stood up.
"I have no time.. I need to leave this place before your army wages war in this place." Shin Jiao said as he turns around to jump down from the tree and leave.
But before he could take a step, the woman suddenly tugged on his sleeves.
"Wait.. wait.. I.. I wanted to talk to you about something." She said then noticed that Shin Jiao is looking at his sleeves and she immediately let go while showing an awkward smile.
"Okay, what do you want?" Shin Jiao asked without turning around.
This irritated Queen Klo a bit but she bares it as she knew that this man is truly stronger than her. Though she is the strongest in her colony, she was unable to defend herself against this guy, so how could she not feel fear a bit in her heart.
"I.. I have a proposition.. we.. we want to communicate with the leaders of that city. We.. we just wanted to have a peaceful life and stop this war.. can you.. can you help us?" she asked.
Though she knows not who this human is, but according to her understanding with the humans, in their world, the strong rules the weak, and the powerful rules the city. And judging from this human, he is someone whom she can call powerful.
But his answer dashed her hopes.
"No.. I'm just a passerby.. I am not from that city." Shin Jiao replied nonchalantly.
Queen Klo didn't say for a minute then suddenly lifted her head and look at Shin Jiao directly in the eye.
"It's a pity then. We are willing to pay you with some precious stones as compensation if you can fulfill some of our wishes, but since you didn't want to, then this is only my misfortune. Till next time good sir." She said while turning her figure around.
When Shin Jiao heard the words precious stones, his interest was a bit piqued. He is currently not sure what kind of precious stone this woman is talking about, but if it truly is helpful for him, then it would not hurt for him to look, right?
With that in mind, he immediately called out.
"Wait.. what kind of precious stones are we talking about here? If you piqued my interest, then maybe I can do something for you." Shin Jiao said with a gentle smile.
A crafty smile immediately appears on her beautiful face and as she turns around and faces Shin Jiao that smiles immediately faded away.
"Hihi.. this one is called Klo.. What is your esteemed name be?" she said politely.
"I am Doc.. I mean I am Qiong Ji." Shin Jiao said removing the doctor.
Upon hearing the young man's name, Queen Klo grabs the pouch on her side and carefully pours out its content on her dainty palm.
When Shin Jiao saw the so-called precious stones, one of his eyebrows suddenly raised.
