Chapter 311: with translation of chapter title

You... you are the Savior Heir?

The leader was the most well-informed.

Upon seeing this person's displayed abilities, he immediately knelt on the ground with an excited expression, performing three kneelings and nine kowtows.

He quickly turned his head and shouted lowly to his several companions,

"Why don't you quickly pay respects to the Savior Heir?"

The other four, who had just been stunned there, only now came to their senses from the shock and hurriedly paid respects to this Martial Lord.

Savior Heir?

Xiao Kai thought for a moment; it seemed these people were merely the lower-class natives of the Chong Yuan world.

And the Savior Heir they spoke of must be the strong ones of this world!

This was his second time entering the Chong Yuan world, and also his first encounter with the local humans.

Xiao Kai thought it over and still decided to be cautious, to see what these people would say.

"Savior Heir, please save the people of Lu Chui Zhen!"

"The Black Tide has already approached Heixia Yu; our Lu Chui Zhen lies at the border of Heixia Yu, and we fear it will soon be swallowed by the Black Tide!"

"Please, sir, use your power to save the Near Ten Thousand people of Lu Chui Zhen!"

The five villagers all knelt on the ground, taking turns pleading with Xiao Kai to lend a hand.

"Since you are so earnest, then lead the way ahead."

Xiao Kai pretended to be profound and gestured for the five to lead the way.

The five repeatedly thanked him, then, at the forefront, detoured around the Black Tide and hurried toward Lu Chui Zhen.

"How many Savior Heirs are there in the world now?"

As soon as Xiao Kai's words left his mouth, everyone froze there.

"Sir, could it be that you are not from Sheng Cheng?"

The leader looked at Xiao Kai warily, fearing his question might offend him.

The Sheng Cheng he spoke of naturally refers to Heavenly Universe City.

Xiao Kai's heart stirred, and he let out a sigh,

"I am naturally not from Sheng Cheng; my hometown was also swallowed by these Black Tide Monsters not long ago, after which I gained these abilities!"

"Therefore, I will by no means stand idly by while the lives of Lu Chui Zhen's people are at stake!"

From the earlier discussion among those few, Xiao Kai had already noticed that these people call the various monsters that know only slaughter the Black Tide.

And because he struck down monsters with a single move, these people began to call him the Savior Heir.

This shows that those Savior Heirs are either extremely strong or possess various special means.

The abilities he said he later gained, these people would certainly not find any problem with.

As expected, upon hearing Xiao Kai say that, their faces showed sudden realization and some empathetic expressions.

Their hometowns are currently under threat from the Black Tide and could be overwhelmed at any moment.

Yet they cannot even find a single Savior Heir of Xiao Kai's caliber in their hometowns!

But even a Savior Heir like Xiao Kai can only watch helplessly as his hometown is devoured by the Black Tide!

For a moment, they didn't know whether to feel fortunate or lament.

But just then, they suddenly noticed that the Black Tide, which had originally gathered in the distance, seemed to be gradually thinning out.

"It seems the one who provoked the Black Tide has also died in battle."

The few exchanged glances, each eye holding a hint of regret.

It is well known that once the Black Tide forms, it will not cease until it has devoured its enemies!

Such a massive Black Tide would likely be impossible for even Savior Heirs to resist; at most they could only escape.

The person trapped in the Black Tide, of unknown origin, able to endure this long, must be at his limit, right?

The group continued onward toward Lu Chui Zhen.

But at this moment, Lu Chui Zhen is experiencing an anomaly!

A large force of the Black Tide was led away by Gu Han, slowing the Black Tide's invasion of Heixia Yu.

However, scattered Black Tide Monsters still slipped into Heixia Yu.

These monsters' strength is not great, roughly equivalent to a Great Martial Master.

But to the ordinary people of Heixia Yu, they remain a nightmare-like existence!

After these Black Tide Monsters had slain over a dozen civilians, a youth equipped with a mechanical arm finally arrived.

Only to see his mechanical arm burst forth a puff of white steam, releasing tremendous power as it smashed into the Black Tide Monster.

Bang!

A heavy impact sound suddenly rang out.

The Black Tide Monster's chest instantly caved in, and its body flew backward uncontrollably!

Although the Black Tide Monster knows only slaughter and does not understand what pain is,

even a machine, once its chest is nearly smashed through, will likewise perish.

What more of a monster whose mind has been corroded by the Black Tide yet still moves by bodily function?

And behind this youth followed over a dozen other youths similarly equipped with various mechanical implements.

Some among them wielded mechanical chainsaws, which, after chopping into the Black Tide Monster, sprayed sparks and emitted a piercing sawing sound.

Others wielded mechanical shovels that, upon striking a Black Tide Monster, would suddenly eject several sharp blades, dismembering the monster!

These people's own strength is not much greater than that of the Black Tide Monsters.

But with the aid of these various implements, they quickly cleared away the monsters.

"Bai Ka, you finally came!"

Among the dozens of frightened townspeople, several elders, upon seeing the young man at the forefront with the mechanical arm, let out a long sigh.

Besides Bai Ce, Bai Ka is the strongest among the younger generation of Lu Chui Zhen.

Bai Ka nodded to the crowd,

"Now the Black Tide has already approached Heixia Yu; several brothers have already gone to Sheng Cheng to send a call for help, and we believe that before long, the Savior Heirs will come to assist us in our relocation."

"Brother Bai Ce will surely return as well."

However, just as Bai Ka's words fell, among the crowd, someone who had just been almost scared out of their wits immediately turned black in the face and let out a cold snort,

"Don't bring up that fellow Bai Ce here!"

The crowd followed the sound and saw a hunched old man.

The old man planted his cane firmly on the ground and said coldly,

"Those Savior Heirs are merely using the guise of saving the world to consolidate power!"

"That brat Bai Ce, ever since he became a Savior Heir and joined their ranks, has he left any trace of loyalty to our Lu Chui Zhen in his heart?"

"Let me thank those Savior Heirs for their help; I'd rather let the old man die directly at the hands of this Black Tide Monster!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd exchanged glances and a helpless sigh rose in their hearts.

This old man is not only an elder of Bai Ce, but also one of the few priests of Lu Chui Zhen, and the eldest among them.

What Lu Chui Zhen believes in is the Forge God who can help them forge powerful weapons.

Therefore, the status of these priests of Lu Chui Zhen is not as high as that of priests in other regions.

However, because he is ultimately an elder of Bai Ce and extremely old, the crowd also holds him in great respect.

Upon hearing him rebuke Bai Ce, no one dared to speak up in rebuttal.
