Chapter 348: Deep Red Gate
Upon hearing Vulkan's words, the Modian Sergeant looked around in surprise, finally seeing, in the distance between two medical Xiunu, a person with half-white hair sitting and holding a baby who was playing in their arms.
"You may continue with your Task; we will be leaving in a moment."
Vulkan looked down at the Modian Sergeant and said in a deep, resonant voice.
"Yes! Lord Vulkan, er, and Lord Angron!"
The Modian Sergeant cast a complex look at Angron, who still had the appearance of a youth, before finally turning to lead their soldiers away from the Training Camp.
"Let's stop here for today; it seems we are affecting the training of others."
Vulkan clapped his two large hands together and spoke to Angron, who was standing opposite him.
"Mm, it is indeed affecting them, though they do not seem to feel any anger; their emotions are mostly surprise."
Angron nodded, and the two came before Ying mother. Seeing Yingxin staring at them without blinking, Angron trotted a few steps to Ying mother's side and said in a gentle tone.
"Grandmother, let me hold little sister; I haven't held her yet today!"
Ying mother did not refuse, handing the somewhat restless Yingxin from her arms to Angron.
Regarding Angron's rapid growth, Ying mother felt that she no longer had the shock she felt at the beginning; after all, Vulkan's current height was constantly refreshing her perception, and compared to Vulkan, Ying mother felt Angron was not growing as fast.
After Angron began spending time with Yingxin, Ying mother also discovered that whenever Yingxin started to fuss, only Angron could quickly soothe the little one's emotions, which had led to Yingxin being very dependent on Angron now.
"She really can't leave you now; she wants to find you to play every day."
Vulkan watched Angron teasing Yingxin into laughter, arms crossed, and said with a smile.
"Because whenever little sister cries or fusses, I absorb her negative emotions, which is why she likes to stick to me."
Angron looked at Yingxin, who was giggling from his teasing, and explained.
"Speaking of which, is our little sister growing too slowly? Why is she still such a tiny thing?"
Hearing Angron's remark, Ying mother, who was sitting in a chair watching all this, could not help but cover her forehead.
What do you mean growing too slowly? It is clearly the two of you growing too fast; if these two brothers went out, no one would guess their true age.
"Cough, Angron, you might not know yet, but in reality, the growth rate of normal Humans is like this; we are a rather special type of person, so our growth rate is faster. Of course, this is what Father said."
"Oh? Is that so? I thought only little sister was growing slowly."
After hearing Vulkan's explanation, Angron nodded thoughtfully and lifted Yingxin high.
"Little sister, don't worry, even if you are a tiny thing, I won't let you feel any sadness!"
Yingxin, being lifted high, was not scared into crying; instead, she let out giggles.
After Yingxin had her physical constitution strengthened by Yingzhou, because she was still young, it was not very obvious; currently, it only manifested in the child growing slightly faster than a normal baby and never having been sick.
Just as the few were chatting, they suddenly felt the ground begin to shake. Vulkan protected Ying mother at the first moment, while Angron held his little sister in his arms.
Seeing this situation, the two medical Xiunu also looked around vigilantly. Soon, Vulkan saw a red light bloom in the direction of the Inner City, and a trace of disgust could not help but arise in his heart.
"Vulkan, what happened?"
No sooner had Ying mother finished speaking than a series of shouts were heard from outside the Training Camp.
"What is that!"
"It's! It's an Alien Race!"
In the sky about four sectors away from the Training Camp, a hair-raising deep red giant gate appeared! This gate was carved with intricate and mysterious patterns, making the residents of the Outer City in the surrounding areas feel fear from the depths of their souls.
As time passed, the deep red gate began to open slowly, as if driven by some powerful magic. From between the cracks of the gate, streams of Black Qi as thick as ink gushed out, rapidly spreading and dyeing the entire sky a gloomy and oppressive black, forming a sharp contrast with the deep red triggered by the Inner City.
Furthermore, streams of Black Qi descended to the ground. The moment the Black Qi made contact with the ground, a series of muffled, loud bangs rang out, accompanied by bursts of black smoke and flames rising. Immediately after, those Black Qi began to rapidly change shape, gradually revealing various hideous and terrifying Demon images.
Some Demons were tall and burly with bulging muscles, holding huge Battle Axes or spiked clubs; others had hunched and twisted figures, with sharp Liaya and claws, emitting a foul stench; there were also some Demons with a pair of wide black wings unfurled on their backs, spewing raging flames from their mouths...
For a time, the residents of the Outer City were frightened by this situation and began to scramble to escape to other sectors.
The Modian Iron Guard patrolling the Outer City, upon discovering the situation here, also began to assemble at the location of the Hell Gate at the first opportunity.
"Angron, protect them; I am going to save those residents!"
Seeing these Demons that had run out of the Hell Gate wantonly destroying things in the Outer City, with many residents not having run far before being caught by the Demons behind them and either eaten or tortured to death in the most cruel ways, Vulkan felt a surge of rage.
After saying this in a deep voice to Angron, he rushed out of the Training Camp.
"Er... okay..."
Angron was holding Yingxin and had not yet answered when he saw Vulkan had already left the Training Camp. He had no choice but to put Yingxin back into Ying mother's arms and said to her in a gentle voice.
"Grandmother, how about we first find a safe place to take refuge? We cannot let you and little sister come to harm."
Ying mother also saw the scene of those residents outside being killed by Demons. Having seen so many of an Alien Race for the first time in her life, Ying mother was already pale with fright. When Angron spoke to her, she felt her fear gradually decreasing, so she nodded and said.
"Mm, then let's find a safe place to hide first. Watch out behind you!"
Several Demons with black wings on their backs in the sky saw Ying mother and the others in the Training Camp. After circling a few times like a cat playing with a mouse, they dove downward, aiming straight for Yingxin in Ying mother's arms.
Seeing this, the two medical Xiunu immediately took out the Power Swords Yingzhou had bestowed upon them and precisely decapitated the two Demons. The corpses of the two Demons turned into Black Qi and flew toward the gloomy sky.
Three more Demons bypassed the two medical Xiunu. Just as those sharp claws were about to grab Yingxin, a powerful force directly grabbed the tail of one Demon. With a forceful swing, the remaining two Demons were knocked down by the body of their companion and slammed heavily onto the ground.
