Chapter 598

(Unedited)



Thousands of years ago, when the land is filled with magnificent beasts and different kinds of life forms, some particular beings appear in the land. Unlike the beasts these beings wore clothes and although weak uses tools to defeat their enemies.

Then after a few hundreds of years have passed, these beings began to rule the whole land building large cities, towns, and villages, and then they divided the land into kingdoms and then empires.

With the rapid growth of their population, some of them have unluckily fallen into the hands of some beasts. While many would consider them as food, some would mate with these beings. But no abnormalities have appeared until one day, the first few creatures appear to look like these being but have the trait of a beast.

They were scorned by the being and were not accepted. Hence from then on, they began living in the wild among the beasts.

And soon they were called the Li'ang, as it was the sound these creatures would use to refer to themselves.

And so a new race of beast appears in the wild, which people began calling the Li'angs. In the language of humans, Li'ang means a ferocious creature. And this was already adapted because the Li'angs although timid in one look, but once provoked they are as ferocious as the beasts in the wilds.

What is scarier about them is their intelligence which is almost on par with the humans. Combined with their brutal strength, it is sure that the humans would not hold a candle against these creatures. However, the only difference is that the Li'angs don't have a long lifespan.

At most, they could only live up to 30 years. But there are some who have the same lifespan as the humans, that is only a rare few and mostly females.

The Li'angs built a lot of colonies in the land, and one of the largest colonies is in the Yu kingdom. Since then the kingdom saw the Li'ang as a threat and time and after time tried to eliminate them. At first, they were successful and almost wiped out the colony. However, the creatures became wiser and built the Under City, a huge city underground which is as big as two cities.

For hundreds of years, the Li'angs dig and expand their cities until it was now today.

The Under City minds their own business. Through the machination of their queens, they have secretly abducted humans and forced them to teach human ways to the hierarchy of the city. And only those who belong to the upper classes in the city learned how to speak and act as humans do.

Those who aren't are treated like beasts and could only move up to a higher position through merit in battles and their contribution to the city.

The Under City is a world that belongs to the Li'angs and most prefer to live here than outside. For them, this place is heaven, a place of refuge, a place where they can build their own nest before they die.

About a year ago, the Under City was attacked by a large group of Li'angs. They wore uncommon armor and wield sharp weapons. When the queen discovered this, she was enraged and began preparing to wage war against these invaders.

She knew that the humans are behind these attacks and they are using these new groups of Li'angs from another colony to invade the Under City.

So how could she let them win?

A few years back, when she was younger she remembers a human wanting to catch her. She was too naïve back then and wanted to know more about these so-called humans. But as a Li'ang and the future queen, she has a particular ability to know the heart of another being may it be beasts or humans, she can feel their desires and their intent.

And what she felt that day made her shiver in disgust and fright. She could feel pure l.u.s.t brimming from that young human's body.

And so, she ran and called for help. With the power of her personal guards, she defeated that young human and the people behind him. Soon after that, a large number of humans attacked them, however, how could they defeat the strength of the Li'angs? Although many of her people died, they were able to drive away from the humans and for so many years didn't dare come back to their lands.

That is until a year ago.

Upon recalling these memories, the queen looks at the horizon and on the road saw a long line of carriages rushing towards the city from afar.

"I want that caravan stopped. Capture everyone…" she said with a sneer on her beautiful face.

She then turns around and gets on a sedan chair where four burly Le'angs carried her.

After her command was given one of the female generals steps forward and took a group of around 30 soldiers. They immediately ran and chase after the caravan. From their speed, after an hour of running, they soon arrive behind the caravan.

When some of the soldiers guarding the rear noticed that there are figures following them, they immediately went on guard.

But how could they fight against the Li'angs, especially this group which was trained and has martial abilities? Without any suspense, the soldiers were defeated one by one along with the mercenaries as they tried to fight against the 30 plus Li'ang soldiers chasing after them.

Shin Jiao saw what is happening outside, he didn't want to implicate the innocent in this battle and decided to interfere. When he saw the soldier riding near their carriage about to be attacked, he suddenly shouted.

"Watch out!"

The soldier heard him and immediately dodges the blade coming towards his head. When the soldier saw that sharp object, his back was immediately filled with cold sweat.

Shin Jiao immediately grabs this opportunity to throw something out from the window towards that Li'ang soldier who is running really face and has a ferocious look on his face. Shin Jiao could not help but be astounded upon seeing the young soldier's appearance. He truly looks like a young human. However, that tail behind his back which around two meters long is very distinct. Plus his speed is truly uncanny and astounding.

When Shin Jiao threw those objects from inside the carriage, he put some strength on them. Hence when the young Li'ang soldier tried to parry it, he felt one of his arms aching and this sudden loss of concentration gave Shin Jiao a chance to throw another object hitting that young Li'ang soldier's face.

Shin Jiao saw him tumbling to the ground in a cloud of dust.

The three cheered inside the carriage and they did a high five. However, something happened which the three did not expect.

A long and hairy tail suddenly grabs Shin Jiao's hand.

"Huh?"

Those are the only words that came out of his mouth, and then he suddenly shrieked in fright as his figure was flung outside the carriage followed by a figure jumping towards him coming from the roof of the carriage.

"No! Doctor Ji!" shouted Bailao Di and Jie Ming with a helpless tone.

They did not expect that this would happen and they both blame themselves for this. But what can they do? They can't even fight. They are just some weak doctors who only know how to treat patients.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao is being carried by a young Li'ang soldier. The soldier was about to hit his neck to make him pass out. But he suddenly made a move and like a slippery eel escaped his captor.

With a simple kick of his leg, that young soldier was thrown to a nearby tree and passed out after hitting it with a loud thud.

Those other Li'ang soldiers busily chasing the caravan and saw this scene suddenly turned their angry sight on Shin Jiao. One of them suddenly pulled out a small whistle and blew on it.

After Shin Jiao saw this a smile crept on his face. If he can buy time for the caravan then so be it. Though he is not a hero, he is still a human being. He understood his strength and would not dare sacrifice the innocent just to save his own life.

Upon hearing the whistle the female general who is already ahead wanting to stop the advancing caravan suddenly disappears.

She appears near the area where Shin Jiao is standing and around him is a group of 30 plus Li'ang soldiers.

"I don't want to fight… I just wanted to ask, why are you attacking us?" Shin Jiao asked while his hands are high up in surrender.

But the males around him did not understand his words they growled at him like beasts and with their back hunch and ready to fight carefully approaches him.

They already have their weapons drawn at a ready to strike this human that dared hurt two of their companions.

"Alright, if words could not get your attention, I will use my fist then." Shin Jiao said with a grin on his face.

When the female general saw this, she showed interest in her gaze on the young man.

In their language, she commanded the group to attack.

30 versus 1

But Shin Jiao was not fl.u.s.tered at all. As soon as the group attacked he knew that these Li'angs have a strength that's three to five times that of a normal human. Plus with their speed which is equal to that of a beast, they truly are perfect warriors.

Shin Jiao fought with his concentration on the line. Unlike normal beasts, these intelligent creature fights like humans. Hence their movements are too distinctive. They did not rely on patterns.

However, Shin Jiao also is not a normal human being. That's why the fight between them ended up with him standing in the middle of a fallen bunch of Li'ang soldiers.

The female general standing not too far showed astonishment in her eyes while looking at this scene.

Shin Jiao has already noticed her and shifted his gaze towards her location.

"I know you can understand me. You are different from these… creatures…" he said with a serious expression.

"Come, it's your turn then…" Shin Jiao said as he took a glance at the woman.

However, he is actually looking behind her where the caravan is.

In his heart, he is just praying that the caravan could reach the city before he finished fighting against this… woman.
