Chapter 187: His Majesty the Ghost God
The atmosphere in the cave was a bit heavy. Most of the children, boys and girls had lost the mood to play and had serious expressions on their faces.
Only some elders were secretly wiping away tears. Losing another hundred of their tribesmen was a heavy blow to them.
"Damn guards, if they hadn't attacked that spaceship, there wouldn't have been so many slave traders coming!!" Someone couldn't help but grit his teeth.
"Yes, they are well-equipped. It would have been fine if they didn't want to help us survive, but they actually brought about such a disaster."
"They are all from the same race...there is no need to blame them." Someone else sighed and shook his head.
"Fellow tribesmen!" A sneer came from the crowd: "We met that team half a month ago. Do you remember what they said?"
After these words were spoken, many people fell silent, and even the person who had just spoken for the guards hesitated.
"They said that the guards watched their relatives being captured by slave traders and had no intention of helping them."
"What fellow tribesmen? The guards only care about their own lives and won't pay any attention to us!"
The noise from the crowd continued to rise, and Mo Duo observed everything quietly.
She hadn't been back here for a long time and didn't know what Blazing Eye Star had become. She was not prepared to reveal her identity before she figured out the situation.
Just... a guard? There was a hint of thought in her eyes. Could it be the Blazing Eyes Elite Guard, who were once directly under her father's command?
Each of them is a carefully selected warrior, loyal to the Blazing Eye Star and the Blazing Eye Clan, it is impossible for them to be so cold-blooded.
"Shut up! Stop talking!" Casiri shouted again. However, he had suppressed his people's emotions several times. Besides, most of them were immersed in sadness, so he lost control in the end.
"Why not say it's impossible!" An old woman's eyes were red. Her son died in the battle just now.
"Just because the Guards were once so high and mighty?!"
"Now the Blazing Eyes are almost extinct, so who cares about the guards or not!"
The outburst of emotions is terrible. They live in depression all day long, and their emotions have been accumulating. Coupled with Casilli's improper guidance, he has now become the venting point.
"Everyone..." Colin stood up tremblingly, and everyone's anger suddenly stagnated.
His eyes were empty, but he looked around at everyone and said calmly, "The guards... deserve to die."
The noisy sounds in the crowd suddenly disappeared a lot.
He paused before continuing, "But at the same time, they are not afraid of death."
"The elders all know that we all once aspired to be a member of the Guard." His voice was neither hurried nor slow, but very powerful: "You said they are greedy for life and afraid of death, I don't believe it."
"They have their business, we have our business, and we just have to survive."
"I don't know if there is still a way forward, but as long as we are alive, there is always hope."
Colin did not give any chicken soup for the soul. Instead, he pointed out the current situation frankly. For the Fiery Eye survivors who had long been accustomed to this kind of life, this was more effective than any chicken soup.
After all, they are still alive... and as long as they are alive, there is hope.
A low whimper was heard from the crowd, and then it gradually became silent, as if some of the vitality had been extinguished.
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you all." Colin came down to Li Yu and others with the help of Casilli.
"It's okay." Li Yu was just an outsider, watching silently without any emotional fluctuations.
"Excuse me, is that child named Moduo the wandering Fiery-Eyed Man?" As expected, the other party began to inquire about Moduo's origins.
"Yeah." Mo Duo responded, his face expressionless and as calm as Li Yu.
"Alas. You don't have to come back." Colin sighed, "There's nothing left here. You grew up outside, so you probably don't have any feelings for this place. Why bother coming back?"
Li Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. The old man seemed to be thinking , but in fact he was still hinting at Mo Duo's intention.
"I have a reason to come back." Mo Duo's tone was indifferent, without any emotion.
"Why did you have to come back?" Colin was slightly stunned, and nodded thoughtfully: "Can you tell me?"
"No." Mo Duo refused neatly.
Ke Lin laughed and said, "It's okay if you don't tell me. I hope you can achieve your goal."
Mo Duo remained silent. After the two left, Li Yucai started to communicate with Mo Duo: "Where is the big bead? Where is the place it said? How do we get there?"
This group of Fiery Eye survivors were about to leave, and Li Yu had no interest in following them on their adventure.
A green light flashed between Mo Duo's eyebrows, and she said, "That place is deep in the center of the earth, and it requires a special passage to reach it."
"What do you mean?" Li Yu frowned. Now that he had come this far, there couldn't be any more difficulties.
"I see." Mo Duo seemed to suddenly remember something: "Go find the guards."
"Guards..." Li Yu stroked his chin. After listening to Colin's description, he felt that the guards were not like traitors, but more like guardians, guarding some secrets.
Murdo continued, "The Guards are the most elite Blazing Eye soldiers. If there is such a passage on Blazing Eye Star, the Guards must know it."
When she was very young, she was sent away from the Blazing Eye Star. Her parents seemed to have foreseen the disaster of the Blazing Eye Star and left behind a spark of fire.
"Do you know where the guards are?" Li Yu asked.
Mo Duo shook his head, and then they both looked at Colin at the same time.
Mo Duo immediately walked over, and Li Yu thought about it and followed him.
"Where is the guard?" Mo Duo asked directly. Li Yu, who was following behind him, sighed and shook his head helplessly.
Moduo has been feeling a little off ever since he set foot on this planet, and now he's asking questions without any preparation, so it would be strange if others could answer him.
Colin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "So you are here to find the guards. Unfortunately, I don't know where the guards are."
"How is that possible? Don't you often get news about the guards?" Moduo asked distrustfully.
"That's all hearsay. Occasionally when I meet other tribesmen, I'll hear some of it, and we'll spread some of it too," Colin explained.
Casilli frowned slightly and looked at the few people warily, wondering why the other party suddenly asked about this matter.
"I am Ankergren's daughter. I want to find the guards. There is something extremely important." Murdo no longer concealed his feelings and spoke frankly.
"Ankergren?" Colin shook his body, seeming a little surprised: "Are you Her Royal Highness the Princess!?"
"Yes, tell me the location of the guards." Mo Duo nodded and asked again.
"What!?" Casili was also slightly surprised. No wonder he felt that Moduo was somewhat familiar. It turned out to be Her Royal Highness the Princess.
When the guard members were selected, he had met young Mo Duo once, but he was not chosen.
Some of the survivors of the Chiyan tribe nearby also looked over in surprise. To most of the Chiyan tribe members, the Princess was too far away from them.
It was so far away that this was just a title, and they had no idea what changes a princess could bring to them.
"Your Highness? What is Your Highness?"
"Can Your Highness save us?"
“…”
The crowd became noisy again, and many people cast hopeful glances at Mo Duo.
"The guards are located in the northern part of the Lawrence Mountains, where the ancient boulders are located." Colin no longer concealed the location.
"Let's go..." Mo Duo said decisively, turning around and about to leave. However, Li Yu did not move, but just looked at Colin with empty eyes quietly.
Colin, who had lost his eyes, turned his head and looked at Li Yu.
"Who's looking at me?" Colin asked puzzledly.
"Old man...how long are you going to keep pretending?" Li Yu said suddenly.
"What do you mean, sir?" Casiri frowned, and Moduo looked at Li Yu with some confusion.
Li Yu laughed and said, "An old fellow who had experienced the crisis of genocide in the Blazing Eyes met someone who claimed to be a princess, but he didn't have the slightest doubt and bowed down to her. This is too unconvincing."
Colin paused, then suddenly laughed out loud. The old man's laughter became louder and louder, and finally filled the entire underground passage: "You...you..."
He laughed until he was a little out of breath, and said, "You guys are smart. I thought I could fool you."
Mo Duo frowned tightly. Colin's emotions clearly did not fluctuate at all, so why could he lie?
Casilli was also a little confused: "Uncle Colin, what's going on?"
"What's going on?" Colin sneered, "Since the death of Her Majesty Ankergren, there have been thirteen people pretending to be Her Royal Highness the Princess."
As soon as these words came out, Moduo's face changed slightly, and Casili immediately understood. He made a few gestures secretly, but couldn't help but said: "But I also think she is familiar, very much like the princess when she was a child."
"Familiar? Each of those princesses looks alike!" Colin retorted.
Li Yu stroked his chin. So many people came to pretend to be Mo Duo. Are they from the Mogan family? Do they need to pretend to be Mo Duo? It's not enough to just do it.
Unless... there is something they can't get through violent means.
Mo Duo didn't expect this to be the result. She explained: "My identity is real, otherwise why would I save you, and I wouldn't be so reckless to expose my identity..."
Li Yu raised his hand to stop her. The other party had already formed a preconceived notion. The thirteen impostors had made them no longer trust anyone.
"Tell me the location of the guards!" Strange syllables poured into Colin's ears, but he did not respond at all.
"What a strong mental power." Li Yu frowned slightly. This old guy's mental power was no less than his, and even better.
His mental power is still at C level for now, and the Seed of Confusion Sound can't do anything to this old guy.
If that pair of eyes were still there, he would probably be a B-level psychic practitioner.
Then he tried the rest of the Blazing Eye Survivors. Although he succeeded in controlling them, they did not know the location of the guards.
Only Casilli managed to resist, staring at Li Yu and shouting, "What are you doing!?"
His eyes flashed red, and his mental power surged towards Li Yu. Their mental power had no effect on the biochemical beasts because the brains of the biochemical beasts were all bad.
That is the tool that the Morgan family uses specifically to deal with the Blazing-Eyed People, but it still has considerable lethality to normal life forms.
But his mental power fell on Li Yu, but it was like a drop in the ocean, and had no effect at all. The scepter icon on the [Titan Colonial Suit] was flashing, and it was impossible to control him!
Even the nearby Fiery Eye Survivors, no matter how slow they were, noticed something was amiss and took alert stances, their eyes flashing, attempting to control the psychic legion.
However, most of these ordinary Blazing Eye survivors have not undergone systematic training, their mental strength is not strong, and they find it difficult to control the superpower group.
"It's you, Colin Amber, one of the thirteen Fiery Eye High Priests." Murdo then confirmed his guess and revealed Colin's identity.
"He has found out my identity clearly and did a lot of research before coming here." Colin made it clear that he did not believe Moduo's identity.
"The Blazing Eye High Priest, what an intimidating name. I wonder, in your eyes, which is more important, the lives of these people or the position of the guard."
Li Yu extended a ship-breaking knife in his hand and aimed it at the survivors of the Blazing Eyes.
Kasiri looked grim. He knew the power of this knife. It had just chopped off the horn of the sand bull beast. It was so terrifying.
"Hehe..." Colin sneered with unknown meaning, but Casilli felt a chill in his heart. Did Colin really want to give up on them?
"It seems that you are cruel enough, but I don't know whether you are really cruel or just pretending." Li Yu walked up slowly with a knife in his hand, chopped a few times, leaving a few cracks on the ground of the cave, and walked towards the crowd.
Mo Duo's eyes twitched slightly. He shouldn't be so scary, right? He... should be threatening, right?
At this moment, a green light flashed between Mo Duo's eyebrows, and the shadow of the big bead was projected, and a magnificent voice sounded here:
"Colin..."
When Colin heard the voice, he was stunned for a moment, then suddenly became excited. He prostrated himself on the ground and trembled, "Is it you? Your Majesty the Ghost God..."
"It's me..." The green light shone on Colin's forehead, as if communicating with him. Colin trembled all over, and tears of blood flowed from his empty eyes again:
"It's really you, not that fallen one!"
Casilli was already confused. Looking at the projection of the bead glowing green, he seemed to have thought of something and his eyes widened in disbelief.
Only the ordinary survivors of the Blazing Eyes were still confused. Why did they suddenly kneel down before the enemy while fighting?
"The Fiery Eyed High Priest...could he be offering a large bead?" Li Yu suddenly thought of this, and became more and more certain of this guess.
After a moment, the projection dissipated, and Colin got up from the ground. He said to Mo Duo for the first time: "Your Highness, please forgive my offense."
"Do you believe it now?" Li Yu was speechless. If he had known that the big bead had such great power, there would be no need to waste words on it.
He almost killed a few of the Blazing Eye Survivors who threatened Colin. It was so embarrassing.
Under everyone's gaze, Li Yu calmly retracted the ship-breaking sword, as if nothing had happened, and said with a smile: "I was just pretending."
Ke Lin: “…”
Casilli: “…”
Blazing Eye Survivor: “…”
