Chapter 1090 - Chapter 1090 Chapter 1094 Letting You Down

Chapter 1090: Chapter 1094: Letting You Down Chapter 1090: Chapter 1094: Letting You Down “Interspecies cooperation???”

“Yeah, how did I not think of this layer? That’s right, that’s right!” Lu Ying had an epiphany after hearing Zhu Minglang’s narrative.

The confusion and fear that had been shrouding her due to the terrifying Red Striped Death Dragon had completely dissipated, and her eyes became clearer and more luminous.

Most importantly, the entire Yuheng Star Palace staff could finally shake off the shadows of fear. These past days, the whole Star Palace had lost its fighting spirit, one by one they shuffled towards the southeast like the walking dead.

Just stepping into The Ghost Mark Star was like this, with even more dangers lying on the paths ahead, fearing that very few would survive.

“We can only say that these predators are too cunning. We had never encountered such creatures before, so it was easy to fall for their tricks,” Zhu Minglang said.

At that time by the riverbank, Zhu Minglang noticed that the star deer preferred to slowly drink the dew on leaves rather than touch the river water.

It wasn’t that the river water was toxic or contained something like insect eggs. Instead, it reminded Zhu Minglang that he was in someone else’s territory, where they had plenty of opportunity to set traps that are difficult to guard against. Therefore, he needed to be extremely cautious and careful, as even the most ordinary action could fall into the sinister traps of the Ghost Mark Star’s species.

The reason why Zhu Minglang fell victim was that he had been scratched by some plants during patrol and had not treated the wound in time. Such a small wound led to him becoming a sacrifice.

If everything hadn’t been revealed, he wouldn’t have thought in that direction.

So this so-called interspecies cooperation isn’t just about the ancient eagles, Red Striped Death Dragons, Bone Marrow Chaos, Detoxification Grass–it turns out the entire environment is an accomplice to the Red Striped Death Dragon!

“With all the fear and panic, it’s really hard to think so much. It was clear that even the North Palace Sword Immortal was frightened by the creatures of The Ghost Mark Star,” Bai Qin’an said.

“Mhm, mhm, Junior Master, you still managed to think calmly when you were chosen as a sacrifice. That’s very impressive, and I’m grateful that you saved us, your fellow sisters!” Lu Ying’s face lit up with a smile as she sincerely praised Zhu Minglang.

Zhu Minglang responded with a smile.

There was no other way.

If he didn’t figure something out, wouldn’t his life be at risk?

If he hadn’t been pushed to this desperate situation, Zhu Minglang wouldn’t have known his brain could be so nimble when it counts.

Sigh, the habit of not liking to use my brain on regular days needs to be changed!

…

There were about twenty-one members of the Yuheng Star Palace, all of whom were rescued without exception.

Seeing them safe and sound, as beautiful as flowers, Zhu Minglang felt a surge of relief in his heart. It would be such a pity if these future Fairy Sword Masters were eaten as food.

“It’s okay now, let’s continue on our way and catch up with the main troop,” Zhu Minglang comforted them.

Yet, these female Sword Masters shook their heads.

“Junior Master, wherever you are, that’s where we’ll be,” said a female Sword Master who had almost had her head bitten off.

What North Palace Sword Immortal, what grand collective, where was it safe beside the Junior Master? They had previously stuck close together as part of the collective, even more convinced that the Divine Monarch Level North Palace Sword Immortal could protect them, but in the end, they were all scared into fleeing, turning a blind eye toward those of them who had become tributes. The one to step forward was the Celestial Maiden Lu Ying, who had no real status, along with the leader Junior Master, a figure not very well-regarded…

“Don’t blame them; they too were scared out of their wits. Let’s go, your masters and senior sisters are all worried about you…” Lu Ying said.

“Yes, and we have more important tasks to perform. Barely setting foot on the Ghost Mark Star, so many have died already. The path ahead is likely even more treacherous, we still need to work together, to pull through this crisis,” Zhu Minglang said.

After some persuasion, everyone began to regain confidence.

They traveled all night, and Zhu Minglang realized the main group was really fast; chasing them for a whole night without catching sight of anyone.

They were truly terrified, forsaking everything to leave the territory of the Red Striped Death Dragon.

However, based on Zhu Minglang’s understanding of this type of environment, the Red Striped Death Dragon certainly wasn’t the most terrifying creature on the Ghost Mark Star. Fleeing in a panic like headless flies would only lead them into greater peril.

…

By dawn, Zhu Minglang had barely found the footprints of the main group.

The terrain ahead was still a bleak wilderness. While resting, Zhu Minglang spotted the remains of other creatures consumed by the Red Striped Death Dragons, and saw a sight that sent chills down his spine.

Before, Zhu Minglang thought the relationship between the Red Striped Death Dragons and the ancient eagles was that one would eat the head, the other the body.

Those bodies’ bones were all full of Red Striped Death Dragon larvae; the ancient eagles presumably just ate the flesh, then incidentally picked out the Red Striped Death Dragon larvae, aiding their hatching from the marrow of others…

But Zhu Minglang realized that the ancient eagles didn’t actually have much interest in the flesh, what they really ate were the young dragon larvae that hatched from other creatures’ marrow!!

In other words, the Red Striped Death Dragons offered their “descendants” to the ancient eagles, and the ancient eagles, in turn, put in so much effort hunting prey, harassing them for this reason!

The ferocity, brutality, and strangeness of the Red Striped Death Dragons were among the top ranks of the creatures Zhu Minglang had encountered.

Actually giving up their young as repayment to ancient eagles, and in return, the ancient eagles evolved to be so strong and fierce from constantly consuming these young dragon eggs…

What’s called mutual collusion must be describing them.

Having understood this series of survival “unwritten rules,” Zhu Minglang felt a shiver through the Ghost Mark Star; he only hoped that the rest of the journey would go more smoothly, not to say that all would be completely unharmed, but at least with fewer deaths… May the Goddess of Yuheng Star bless us… Forget it, she’s not that reliable, heaven protect us!

…

Finally, they found Wei Huan’s group, and everyone hurriedly followed on their Flying Swords.

“Ghosts… Ghosts ah!” As they approached, someone immediately screamed out.

“What ghosts, we’re still alive!” Lu Ying retorted with irritation.

Wei Huan, Linghu Immortal Teacher, Buddha Bead Sword Fairy Master, and others immediately emerged from the crowd. Their eyes widened, some in disbelief at the sight of them returning safe and sound.

“You’re not dead??” Linghu Immortal Teacher stared at Zhu Minglang, stunned.

“To your disappointment. We also chopped down the Red Striped Death Dragon along the way; this is one of the spoils of war.” Zhu Minglang said, tossing the head of the Red Striped Death Dragon in front of the people.

The moment the Red Striped Death Dragon’s head was thrown, a group of maidens scampered aside, nearly scrambling to find a hole to hide in.

Having heard the related words, they couldn’t help but shiver, not to mention having to see the head of a Red Striped Death Dragon.
