408: Chapter 125 The Fall of Polly in the Battle of Seven Nations, Seven Dragons (Part 2)_1 408: Chapter 125 The Fall of Polly in the Battle of Seven Nations, Seven Dragons (Part 2)_1 The sudden appearance of this giant creature startled Oliveira, who looked up at the immense body to see a giant ape covered in snowy white fur.
Surprisingly, the sweltering air brought by the volcanic eruption vanished with its arrival, and a relentless cold aura emanated from the ape’s body.
With a low growl, it performed an action typically seen in humans, respectfully saluting Ye Yinzhu.
“I pay my respects to His Excellency, the Zither Emperor.”
This enormous ape was none other than the eldest of the Polar Ice Demon Ape brothers that Ye Yinzhu and his group had captured in the Northernmost Wilderness Ice Forest.
Initially, for simplicity’s sake, they called him Ah-Da.
Ye Yinzhu had awakened from his cultivation early in the morning after returning from the secret chamber beneath the Dark Tower, and had specifically teleported back to Qin City for the Seven Nations, Seven Dragons Ranking War.
Although Zi had also awoken from her cultivation, the two had not had much time to exchange words.
Ye Yinzhu took the Soul Fire of Ah-Da’s sacrifice from Dis and returned to the inn to continue his cultivation.
Normally, Dis would not be able to release the Soul Sacrificial Fire he had collected, but it was a different story with Zi present.
The Amethyst Behemoth’s ability to capture spirits directly extracted the Soul Sacrificial Fire from Ah-Da.
Choosing Ah-Da was a well-considered decision by Ye Yinzhu.
Among the rank Nine Beasts in Qin City, Zi was undoubtedly the strongest.
However, Zi’s identity was far too sensitive.
This was Faran, after all—others might not recognize an Amethyst Behemoth, but who could guarantee that those powerful mages of Faran wouldn’t recognize it?
Ye Yinzhu didn’t want to take the risk.
As for the Golden Behemoth, it was even less viable due to being too conspicuous.
After careful consideration, Ye Yinzhu decided to bring Ah-Da.
Although he was just a lower rank Nine Beast, he was still a rank Nine Beast.
He may have been significantly weaker pared to Dis and Perkins, but he was still much stronger than ordinary Magical Beasts.
His defensive power, in particular, was very impressive, which perfectly matched Ye Yinzhu’s idea of finding a meat shield.
“Yin Zhu, this is…” Oliveira looked at him in astonishment.
Ye Yinzhu said, “This is my Contracted demonic beast, the Polar Ice Demon Ape.
You can also call him Ah-Da.”
Oliveira’s plexion changed as he said, “Yin Zhu, summoning Magical Beasts is not allowed in the Seven Nations, Seven Dragons Ranking War.
Have you forgotten the words of Tower Master Aubrey before the Ranking War began?
You will be disqualified from the petition.”
Ye Yinzhu smiled slightly and said, “No, I’m different.
Because I am a Foreign Silver Dragon, and I’m not yet twenty years old, according to the rules of past Ranking Wars, I have the right to summon a Magical Beast to fight for me.
Right now, we’re inside a seal, and if I had violated the rules, I should have been sent out by now, shouldn’t I?
But here I am, perfectly fine.”
Oliveira let out a sigh of relief.
Ye Yinzhu was the soul figure of the Milan Empire’s side.
Now that Li Sha temporarily lost her fighting ability, if he also dropped out of the petition, the Death God’s 500 Warriors, no matter how strong, would not be able to hold their own in ongoing battles without his Divine Music Halo.
“Oh, right, Yin Zhu, we’ve captured someone and brought him back,” Oliveira said, waving his hand.
Several Death God Soldiers immediately pushed forward a captive.
The man appeared to be in his late twenties, with an ordinary face and eyes that darted around unpredictably, leaving one to wonder what he was thinking.
His appearance was quite disheveled, his armor covered with a thick layer of volcanic ash while his hair had been singed, a clear indication that he was not in good physical condition.
“Is he the only one left alive?” asked Ye Yinzhu.
Oliveira nodded, “The power of nature is terrifying.
The Meteor Shower almost turned the other side of this volcano into a beehive, with lava erupting everywhere, engulfing the entirety of Polly’s Kingdom army.
We also exerted a lot of effort before we found this one survivor.
When we reached him, he was surrounded by more than twenty mages casting magic to block the lava.
Right when they could no longer hold on, we arrived.
Thinking you needed to bring back a live prisoner, I saved him.
Given the protection of over twenty mages, this guy must be quite an important figure in Polly’s Kingdom army.”
Ye Yinzhu nodded and said, “Oliveira, you’ve all worked hard.
Everyone should take the time to rest now.
Tower Master Aubrey said that the environment and location within this seal would change every three hours.
Now we have less than one hour to adjust.”
“Okay,” answered Oliveira immediately, ordering all the Death God Soldiers to rest in place.
At Ye Yinzhu’s mand, Ah-Da also found a place to sit down to one side.
The searing environment here was somewhat unbearable for him, but as a rank Nine Beast, the heat was not too much of an issue.
Ye Yinzhu observed the captive, who was looking dejected with his arms pinned down by two Death God Soldiers.
However, Ye Yinzhu could see from his shifty eyes that the man would not simply give up because he had been caught.
At the moment, his mouth was bound with a cloth strip by a soldier next to him, obviously to prevent him from shouting the word “Faran” and leaving the battlefield.
With a wave of his hand, Ye Yinzhu directed the Death God Soldiers to remove the cloth from the captive’s mouth and asked, “What’s your name?
Don’t try any tricks.
You can give it a try and see if shouting ‘Faran’ to leave the battlefield is faster, or if I can kill you before you get the first syllable out.
I believe, even if it’s to be teleported out of this immense Magic Formation, there would be some delay, right?”
“Hmph,” the man turned his head aside, not even glancing at Ye Yinzhu.
He knew that Ye Yinzhu was right, because during the previous volcanic eruption, many warriors from Polly’s Kingdom had tried to shout “Faran” to flee the battlefield, only to have their lives claimed by the several seconds of delay that followed after shouting the word.
In the end, hardly one in ten managed to escape.
Just as Ye Hongyan, who was next to Ye Yinzhu, was about to teach the man a lesson, Ye Yinzhu stopped her.
He slowly stepped forward a few paces.
The effort of healing Li Sha’s wounds and using the “Dragon Flight Movement” to take out two Water Dragons had also taken a toll on him.
Fortunately, the Divine Source Magic Robe allowed him to replenish by filtering magic elements, which worked quite well even when he wasn’t cultivating.
Ye Yinzhu stopped when he was one meter away from the man.
“Then let me tell you who I am first.
I think you should have seen me in front of Faran’s Holy City.
I am one of the leaders of the Milan Empire’s delegation, and also a Foreign Silver Dragon.
In the human world, I have another identity; I’m a Spirit Mage.
I wonder how your spirit pares to those two Water Dragons in the sky earlier?
If you’re really confident, why don’t you let me try the Soul Searching Technique?
I guarantee I won’t need you to speak.
What do you say?”
The captive’s face turned deathly white upon hearing the words “Soul Searching Technique.” He certainly knew how overbearing that magic could be.
Although he was unclear about the extent of Ye Yinzhu’s magic power, how could the spiritual power of a Foreign Silver Dragon be weak?
He was a warrior, and although his own spiritual power was slightly stronger than that of ordinary soldiers, how could it pare to a powerful mage?
Once his spirit was invaded by the Soul Searching Technique, everything he knew would still be learned by Ye Yinzhu, and he’d instantly bee an idiot or a madman.
“Don’t, don’t use the Soul Searching Technique.
My name is Peja.” Swallowing his saliva, Peja said unwillingly.
Ye Yinzhu smiled faintly, “That’s more like it.
Tell me, was my panion wrong just now?
Besides you, does Polly’s Kingdom have any survivors?”
Peja knew he couldn’t possibly deceive a Spirit Mage with lies, and there weren’t any lies he could tell regarding Ye Yinzhu’s question, “That’s right, apart from the two Water Dragon Tribe envoys whose conditions are unknown, I’m the only one left.
In war, victors bee nobility and the defeated turn into thieves; do with me as you will.”
“If you’re willing to answer a question of mine, maybe I’ll let you go.
No need to ask, you are also one of the leaders of Polly’s Kingdom’s delegation.
Among your troops, who shot my Silver Dragon panion with an arrow?
Where is that bow?”
Peja’s whole body shook, and his face turned ashen.
From the moment he was captured, he’d been looking for an opportunity to escape, but the presence of each Death God Soldier around him brought him immense pressure.
Now, hearing Ye Yinzhu ask who had shot Li Sha, his hopes vanished.
His expression gradually turned icy, and with a sudden effort, he straightened his back despite the suppression from the two Death God Soldiers.
“The one who shot the Silver Dragon is me.
I know I won’t survive today.
The bow you’re asking about is also mine.
Since I’m going to die anyway, giving it to you doesn’t matter.
But I hope you’ll give me a quick death and not torture me,” said Peja, the life already gone from his eyes, now filled with a resolute acceptance of death.
A sharp glint flickered in Ye Yinzhu’s eyes.
It seemed they had accidentally found the individual responsible for harming Li Sha.
Had it not been for that poison arrow, the previous battle could have been described as flawless.
Yet that single poisoned arrow caused him to temporarily lose his most powerful ally and, what’s more, their ability to scout from the sky.
“I don’t agree,” Ye Yinzhu said, forcefully suppressing the rage within him.
“You…” Peja glared back at him furiously, “Don’t I even have the right to die?
Don’t you have any knightly honor?”
“I’m a mage, not some knight,” Ye Yinzhu said with a cold smile.
“Your poisoned arrow injured my panion, nearly taking her life.
You think dying will be that easy?
Does your poison arrow have an antidote?”
Peja’s eyes, previously resigned to death, regained a spark of life, “An antidote?
Yes, there is one.
If you agree to let me go, I can give you the antidote.
Otherwise, let’s just die together with your Silver Dragon friend.
My life is worthless; it’s your choice whether or not to make the exchange.”
