Zither Emperor Chapter 409 Chapter 126 Landias in the Desert Part 1_1

409: Chapter 126: Landias in the Desert (Part 1)_1 409: Chapter 126: Landias in the Desert (Part 1)_1 Ye Yinzhu frowned slightly; the man had changed his tune rather quickly, seemingly having found a glimmer of hope for survival, now resorting to threats.

“If you have an antidote, then you better keep it for yourself, because my Dragon Clan friend has already been cured of the poison.

Since you’ve used poison, you must be well acquainted with it.

I have a poison here called the Soul-Stealing Pill.

After consuming it, you must take another dose every month, otherwise, you will die a miserable death after wailing in agony for seven days and nights.

From now on, you are my slave.

If you wish to live, don’t try any funny business.”

Peja was startled, “Just kill me, I won’t take it.

Uh…” Mid-sentence, a dark shadow had already entered his throat.

Peja felt a bitter taste reaching his stomach and his face instantly turned pale with horror.

“Let him go,” Ye Yinzhu ordered the Death God Soldiers to release Peja, “Remember, from this moment on, you are my slave.

I don’t know if you truly fear death, but I think that if a person has a chance to live, they generally wouldn’t choose death.

As for your bow, you may keep it.

However, from now on, it will shoot wherever I mand it to.

If I find you disobeying my orders, then forget about receiving the antidote to the Soul-Stealing Pill.”

“You…” Peja was dumbfounded, unable to speak for a moment as he looked at Ye Yinzhu.

Indeed, his previous acceptance of death was only because he thought it was inevitable.

He preferred to die a hero, but who would truly choose death when presented with the hope of survival?

He had practiced his archery for many years and was deeply unwilling to let go!

However, he also wondered if the young man who appeared to be under twenty was deceiving him.

Was it really poison?

Just as this thought crossed his mind, suddenly, a severe pain rose from his lower abdomen, feeling as if his intestines were knotting together.

Peja gasped and instantly fell to his knees, his body already exhausted from an earlier volcanic eruption, making the pain feel all the more intense.

“Don’t worry, you won’t die from this.

The pain is just the effect of the poison spreading throughout your body.

It will pass after a while,” Ye Yinzhu said coldly, as he walked over and sat down on a large rock where Li Sha had been earlier.

This time, Peja truly believed him—the pain was undeniable!

Although unwilling, he could no longer utter any words of resistance.

Haiyang moved closer and sat beside Ye Yinzhu, asking in a low voice, “Did you really give him the Soul-Stealing Pill?

With your usual approach, since he injured Li Sha, shouldn’t you have killed him?”

Ye Yinzhu transmitted back, “Initially, I did intend to kill him, but I realized that his will is not firm, and he can be coerced into pliance through threats.

The bow is the king of ranged weapons.

Qin City will need an army capable of long-range strikes in the future.

Although this man’s character is questionable, since he managed to injure Li Sha, it shows his archery is outstanding.

Rather than killing him, it’s better to make use of him.

Moreover, the Seven Nations, Seven Dragons rank battle has just begun—having one more person is always an additional strength.

He possesses an Artifact-rank bow, and it’s perfect for dealing with the giant dragons from other Kingdoms.”

After hearing Ye Yinzhu’s words, Haiyang finally understood, but she quickly realized a problem, “However, the Light Tower Master said that the environmental changes every three hours are by national units.

If the environment and positions change later, won’t we lose track of this person?”

Upon hearing this, Ye Yinzhu remembered the twisted rules of the Seven Nations, Seven Dragons rank battle, smacked his forehead and said, “I was careless, thank goodness you reminded me in time.

It seems we can’t keep him close.

This rule must have been established by Faran, fearing that Milan and Landias would ally with each other upon encountering allied nations.

Since we’ve subdued him, we can’t let the guy die.”

With that thought, Ye Yinzhu stood up and addressed Peja, “You’re not in a good condition right now, so withdraw from the battlefield for the time being.

From now on, you have no association with Polly’s Kingdom.

You had better pray that nothing happens to me, otherwise, just wait for the poison to kill you.”

Peja nodded dejectedly to Ye Yinzhu; the pain in his stomach had slightly subsided.

In the short period, he had e to a clear understanding.

It was better to live poorly than to die valiantly.

The young man before him was indeed powerful, and working under Polly’s Kingdom and now merely switching bosses could potentially give him a greater opportunity for advancement within the Milan Empire.

Having reconciled with his fate, he accepted his lot.

“Faran-” Peja shouted loudly.

Acpanied by a twist of light, his figure gradually faded, taking a full five seconds to disappear pletely.

Having dealt with Peja’s issue, Ye Yinzhu promptly ordered, “Everyone, bring out your weapons and dip them in the contaminated blood in this cave.

Be careful not to let the foul blood touch your skin; just coating the blades will suffice.”

If a poison could down a dragon, it showed how potent the toxin was.

This dragon blood, pletely contaminated by the toxin, naturally became a new vector for the poison.

There was a saying ‘nothing ventured, nothing gained.’ If Polly’s Kingdom could use poison, then it might as well be used by them as well.

It was much better for the enemy to die than for one’s own troops.

Time passed swiftly, and just as the five hundred Death God Warriors, excluding the mages, had been smeared with poisoned blood, they hadn’t rested for a few minutes when everything around them suddenly began to change.

The air twisted violently, and the huge volcano that had gradually stopped erupting became illusory, the scorching heat faded away, and everything around them became a blur.

Ye Yinzhu shouted, “Stay alert.”

After the battle with the volcano, he clearly realized that this Seven Nations Seven Dragons ranking battle was not only a fight with people but also a struggle with nature and its calamitous forces.

Who knew what the next environment would bring?

The transition of the environment was slow; Ye Yinzhu felt that a full ten minutes had passed before everything around them gradually became clear.

This time, there was no bright sunshine, and as the scenery became clear, a continuous rumbling noise assaulted everyone’s ears.

When he could see the scene in front of him clearly, even Ye Yinzhu couldn’t help but want to curse.

After the volcanic eruption, the environment they faced was now water.

Water is the source of life, but there is a saying, “Water can float a boat, or it can sink it.” At this moment, what they faced was precisely the floodwaters that could capsize a boat.

Ye Yinzhu and the Death God’s Five Hundred Warriors were on a small island—a tiny island that could barely acmodate the five hundred of them.

This tiny island was located amidst the turbulent waves of the vast ocean.

The vast sea, with its huge waves, relentlessly battered the bodies of the Death God Soldiers.

At that moment, Ye Yinzhu clearly saw that there was another small island not too far away, even more pitiful than theirs.

On that other small island, there were fewer than fifty people standing on it, each looking depleted and mostly wounded.

A wave crashed against them, nearly flipping them into the sea.

A giant dragon lay prostrate on the not too large island.

Its appearance was extremely wretched, with crimson scales covered in dark purple bloodstains.

One of its dragon wings was barely attached to its body, and its body was full of countless corrosive wounds.

It looked extremely frightening.

It was a member of the Fire Dragon Clan; those must be the people of the Palermo Kingdom.

The Fire Dragon made a pact with the Palermo Kingdom.

Ye Yinzhu still vividly remembered Oliveira’s assessment of these warriors when introducing the Palermo Kingdom’s Death Squad to him.

But at this moment, they were reduced to fewer than fifty people, and it seemed that all of them were mages.

The distance between the two small islands was roughly a kilometer.

Ye Yinzhu said in a deep voice, “Since they are allies, I’ll go and check on them.

Oliveira, Ye Hongyan, organize everyone to fend off the waves.

Don’t be too sparing with your Douqi.

Make sure not to fall into the water.”

Swinging his Heavy Sword, Oliveira generated a ferocious Douqi that swept the approaching waves aside and said, “Yinzhu, these waves are too fierce.

If we continue like this, even if we can hold on for three hours, it will consume a lot of our Douqi.

Some of our brothers should be good swimmers.

Those who can swim could stay in the water for a while.

After all, the environment will change again in three hours.”

Ye Yinzhu shook his head and said, “The realm Faran has created is not that simple.

Look.” As he spoke, he pointed a hand towards the ocean.

Oliveira gasped in shock as he then saw purple dorsal fins intermittently appearing amidst the churn of the ocean.

He certainly knew what they were—those were the most terrifying Human-Eating Demon Sharks of the sea, a rank Six Magical Beast.

The most frightening thing about these beasts was that they attacked in swarms.

It was clear whether to struggle against the waves or to fight against a school of sharks.

“Ah-Da, help everyone resist the waves and take me to the opposite island.”

“Yes, Your Excellency, the Zither Emperor.” The Demon Ape Ah-Da of the Polar Ice stepped forward, bent down, and grabbed Ye Yinzhu by his waist.

His seven-meter tall figure spun abruptly on the spot, his incredibly broad and sturdy shoulders bursting with unimaginable strength, flinging Ye Yinzhu diagonally into the air with a toss.

A cold light flashed in his eyes as three Ice Arrows shot out from his hands one after another.

Ice Arrow was a water attribute variant magic that normally orange rank and higher water attribute mages could cast, but Ah-Da’s Ice Arrow was different from those of mages.

As a rank Nine Beast with ice attributes who had cultivated for many years in the Frosty Forest, his control over the water element had reached a formidable level, especially in the ocean rich in water elements.

The distance his three Ice Arrows traveled was terrifyingly great.
