Chapter 308

Wu Jin stands before stone fissure, blood rain... (Wu Jin is a character). Also "stone fissure" generic.

Wu Zhan, Wu Yin, Wu Tong themselves surrounded by flames... Wu Jin cannot... (Wu Zhan, Wu Yin, Wu Tong, Wu Jin). Also "blood rain".

Wu Jin dazedly looking at the great rift valley above... (Great Rift Valley). Also "great rift valley" maybe a place.

Wu Jin sees a giant python... (no named).

No one knows what this giant python encountered; it was almost split into two from head to tail, with only a tiny fragment of flesh and blood still connecting the tail, the two extremely long bodies spinning like windmills in the air, and they crashed down heavily.

No one knows how many dandelion-like large seeds were smashed by the giant python's carcass; the low-ranking warriors tied to those seeds screamed hoarsely one by one, involuntarily plummeting toward lower air.

Wu Jin deep breath...

The air churned, and wrist-thick currents turned into visible ropes visible to the naked eye, swiftly binding the falling low-ranking warriors and pulling them toward their own stone crevice.

One after another, the strangely shouting fallen warriors crashed into the stone crevice, their eyes slightly reddened, hoarsely roaring, without greeting Wu Jin and the others or saying a word of thanks, they jumped up one by one and embraced the large seeds that had flown up from near the stone crevice.

"big seeds" generic.

Wu Jin managed to save as many of those falling warriors within their sight as possible, while these fearless bastards leapt onto the passing large seeds and continued to soar into the sky.

Wu Jin dazedly looking at these crazy... (no new).

The copper bell on Wu Jin's wrist rang with a "ding ding" sound, and from it came the voice of the Torch Dragon.

Given time, I'll include it as a named entity: "Choulong Huang". But we need to output glossary with exact English forms from glossary above for terms already listed. For new terms, we need to provide English translation. We'll need to decide.

The voice of the Torch Dragon.

Oddly Handsome Military Order.

"Three Emperors Camp's youths" -> "Three Emperors Camp". Already.

"Kill those damned demons and monsters..." generic.

"Remember military order, if anyone on battlefield is cowardly and does not fight, death..." etc.

Wu Jin deep breath, looks at Wu Zhan, Wu Yin, Wu Tong.

Wu Zhan nodded and said, "Up... the youths of the Wu Clan, unafraid of death."

Wu Jin waves right hand, storage wrist bracelet... (storage wrist bracelet generic). "black sphere" generic.

huge black sphere suspends outside stone fissure, four ropes extend from black sphere, below hangs a large basket for seven or eight people.

Wu Jin, Wu Zhan, Wu Yin, Wu Tong four quickly jump into basket... (Wu Jin etc). "black sphere" etc.

Standing in basket looking left and right at great rift valley, countless small stone fissures... many black spheres appear, many Three Emperors Camp soldiers rush into hanging baskets, then each huge sphere flies up.

"The inheritance of Heavenly Emperor, Earthly Emperor, Human Emperor really isn't worth much." Wu Jin looks at densely packed black spheres, sighs.

"Yes, maybe intentionally planted seeds?" Wu Zhan clasps hands before chest, mutters: "Indeed not worth much, back when I was in the Wa tribe's ancestral land, I also encountered a Heavenly Emperor seal... tsk, Heavenly Emperor, Heavenly Emperor, the ancient Heavenly Emperor and my Wu clan ancestors have enmity, so that Heavenly Emperor seal ignored me, and I ignored it."

"It seems this thing is abundant... someone deliberately uses these seals to inherit, specially selects qualified warriors to fight to the death for them? Otherwise, where would so many come from?" Wu Zhan, Wu Yin, Wu Tong also strain to look afar, seeing dense black spheres flying up in the great rift valley, they can't help but sigh repeatedly.

Wu Jin looks around.

He sees that under some black spheres' baskets, there is also flickering firelight. Some Three Emperors Camp soldiers, they likewise follow alongside fully red-flaming giant divine soldiers.

Besides Wu Zhan's style of giant divine soldiers, Wu Jin also sees several other strangely shaped giant divine soldiers, obviously each has exquisite craftsmanship.

For example, beside his neighboring black sphere, there is a giant divine soldier only about four chi tall, body slender and agile, weapon is only a one-chi long poison-coated short dagger.

This guy, compared to being good at sneak attacks and assassinations.

The "master" of this giant divine soldier is a statue whose skin color constantly changes, sometimes the whole body becomes transparent, a strange lizard-person.

This lizard-person's perception is extremely keen; Wu Jin just glanced at him, he quickly turned around, fiercely glared at Wu Jin, then rudely muttered: "Brainless blockhead, I bet you're the first to die!"

The lizard-person laughs "ga ga", makes a lewd gesture toward Wu Jin.

A gust of wind sweeps in, the black sphere where the lizard-person is suddenly accelerates, piercing whistle toward the sky.

"Hahaha, grandsons, stay below and drink-pee!" The lizard-person lowers head, loudly shouts at Wu Jin's four.

"This guy..." Wu Yin and Wu Tong angrily protrude half their bodies from the basket, fiercely make lewd gestures at the ever-higher soaring lizard-person, simultaneously curse loudly.

Countless black spheres fly upward at increasing speed, gradually the rock walls in sight become blurred, the luminous plants parasitic on the rock walls stretch into long lines of light, staring too long makes one feel dizzy.

Flying upward against the sky-full blood rain for over ten hours, at least ascending tens of thousands of li, above still is pitch-black, thick black mist entangles together, sheet after sheet slides past Wu Jin et al.'s sides, cannot see where the end is.

"How high must this be!" Wu Jin, Wu Zhan et al. become completely numb.

Where are they rushing to?

A nameless fear arises in their hearts.

Are they rushing out of this thick rock-layer world? Where exactly are they rushing to?

They have grown accustomed to being wrapped in thick rock layers; if they truly rush out of this rock layer...

Wu Jin's body uncontrollably shivers.

He repeatedly licks his lips; the faster he licks his chapped lips, the more he keeps drinking water, drinking water...

In the end, he drank too much water; Wu Jin cannot control his body, simply unties his pants in the basket, a stream of urine "hualala" pours downward.

Suddenly, voices of laughter, curses, roars come from all directions.

Some rough men immediately imitated Wu Jin, standing on the great mineral force, and poured waste water downward.

Wu Jin's four suddenly understood what the rapidly ascending lizard-person meant.

Wu Jin dazedly slaps a hand on a suspension rope, pouring mighty mana into the black sphere; large runes on the sphere's surface flash, upward speed suddenly doubles.

In the great rift valley, wind sounds, laughter, curses, roars, and the screeching of upward-flying poisonous bats, the strange cries of upward-climbing poisonous spiders, all sounds mix into a chorus, truly like countless evil spirits in hell shouting together, reaching the utmost grimness.

Wu Tie et al. ride giant dragon lizards along the straight chariot road, racing.

This chariot road is obviously man-made, width reaches a thousand zhang, thirty-degree slope all the way up, every thousand li there is a turn, the straight chariot road continuously extends upward.

Mechanisms are densely distributed in the chariot road; many places have extremely dangerous mana fluctuations surging without restraint.

Some places' mana fluctuations cause Wu Tie and Old Tie to be startled, that is a kind of explosion that can instantly destroy a thousand-li radius great terror.

Obviously, the Fuxi Divine State built this chariot road, but to avoid the chariot road being used by enemies, their defensive measures here are also extremely vicious.

Along the rock walls, there are many large and small troop barracks; many troops directly subordinate to the Fuxi Divine State are stationed in the troop barracks; when Wu Tie et al. pass by in their sedan, these troops all come out, wave fists and shout, cheering them on.

Cangtian Eel rides giant dragon lizard sprinting in the front.

He issued orders in an orderly manner; the first wave of Wu clan members who set out on expedition, all members of the Life Pool Realm have the duty to look after the Chonglou Realm members.

Everyone formed teams freely; in principle, a Life Pool Realm clansman led several Chonglou Realm clansmen to form a hunting squad, roaming freely on the battlefield and killing any enemy they could.
