After realizing that something was wrong, I immediately retracted my gaze and didn't dare to look again.
Nam, who was in a fit of rage, didn't seem to realize it as he maintained his attacking stance and charged towards the rat race member.
After a short moment, his body suddenly collapsed on the ground as he continuously spat out acid from his mouth.
Nam instantly lost his ability to fight, but the rat race member didn't stop. The green color in his eyes became even denser and the sound from his horn became much louder, as though it was going to pierce my eardrums.
With my body's toughness, I was naturally able to block it. However, a normal half beast at the early stage of the Monster Spirit realm wouldn't be able to block it. With such a technique, it was no wonder that he was able to capture so many women.
Nam couldn't take it anymore as he continuously rolled on the ground while covering his ears. There was even blood flowing out from his nose and mouth. I didn't dare to let him continue screaming, so I formed a gust of monster energy in my hand and charged towards that person.
When the rat race member saw that his technique was ineffective against me, he was astonished. He hastily retracted his technique and retreated a few meters in an attempt to use the Soul Absorbing Green Light again.
I naturally wouldn't give him the chance to do so. I increased the strength in my legs and in a flash, I appeared in front of him and struck his body with my palm.
Even though my current cultivation wasn't high, I was still at the middle stage of the Monster Spirit realm. After that strike, the rat race member instantly spat out a mouthful of blood and his expression became even more panicked.
However, when I wanted to deal with him, he suddenly pointed his mouth and spat out a puddle of black water at me.
The black water was extremely stinky. I didn't know what it was, but just from the smell, I knew that it wasn't anything good, so I hastily retreated.
After I landed on the ground, the black water landed on the spot where I was previously standing, causing the ground to sizzle. It was obvious that the water was extremely corrosive.
While I was still paying attention to the black water, there was a sudden explosion from my side. I turned to look and saw that there was a large hole where the women had been. The rat race member and the women had instantly disappeared into the hole.
I naturally wouldn't give up, but just as I was about to chase after them, I felt that the monster energy in the surroundings had become much more active. I reckoned that the previous commotion had awakened the other rat race members in the cave.
Even though they were naturally cowardly, we were currently in the rat race's nest. If we were trapped, we wouldn't have a good ending.
After hesitating for a while, I finally stopped and carried Nam, who had fainted, before turning to leave the cave.
When I arrived at the cave we had come from, the Rat Clan's people had already drilled out of the cave. As soon as they saw us, they swarmed toward us and surrounded us.
I didn't dare to stay any longer and immediately retreated back to the initial hole. I casually jumped up and returned to the surface.
After I placed Nam on the ground, I immediately found a huge rock from the side and blocked the hole.
At this time, it was already noon. Presumably, the Rat Tribe people were not used to moving out during the day. After the cave entrance was sealed, there was no more movement.
After that, I to sit with him. Nam had that, I had with him, had to do, to wake him.
After that he he he had it, he had, he, and, to wake, and to, he he, he had, he, had, had, had, had, was.
After, he had, he he he to But of to see., to to. to, he, he, he to to to., Nam, he to. t., after, he, to say, he, to to.
., he, he., Nam,
After listening to my explanation of the situation, he wanted to get up and return to the hole.
I hastily stopped him and advised him, "We can't be reckless.
We have already alerted them. The rat race will definitely be on guard. If we go back now, it's unlikely that we'll be able to save Tana. "
Hearing what I said, Nam's face showed his annoyance. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Then … Then, are we just going to ignore Tana?"
Of course, we had to, but we didn't necessarily have to save her from the rat race.
I pondered for a moment. Previously, I had heard from the rat race that they wanted to sell Tana to Kratos in Rock City.
This meant that, apart from being unable to move, Tana wouldn't be in any danger.
Rather than confronting the rat race here, it would be better for us to speed up and reach Rock City first to save Tana.
After listening to my plan, Nam's face showed that he was in deep thought. After a moment, he finally nodded. "There's less than three days' journey from here to Rock City. Let's set off now."
After he said that, he patted the filth off his body and anxiously headed towards Rock City.
The rest of the journey was rather smooth. Under Nam's incessant urging, we only used two days to reach the outskirts of Rock City, which was supposed to take three days.
It was currently dusk and there weren't many people on the road to Rock City. However, as we neared the city gate, there were more people in front of us. They were all heading towards the city gate.
Nam and I quickly joined the group that was entering the city. The surrounding half beast men, who originally seemed to be in a hurry, looked at us strangely when they saw us.
Nam was obviously used to such a situation. He moved closer to my ear and softly explained, "Many of us Houndhead men are slaves in Rock City. The other races don't really think highly of us."
Even though his tone was relaxed, Nam's emotions were obviously shaken. He didn't have the confidence that he had before. He followed closely behind me and subconsciously looked around.
At this moment, there was already a long queue at the city gate. There were a few soldiers that looked similar to the Houndhead men standing at the entrance. They were checking the bodies of the people entering the city. They looked lazy and lazy.
I was a little curious. Just as I was about to ask Nam, there was a sudden roar in front of us. "A lowly commoner like you wants to enter the city? Is this a place that you can enter? Go back home obediently."
As soon as he said that, there was a whimpering dog barking.
I looked up and saw a pale Houndhead man in tattered clothes lying on the ground.
At this moment, he was being stepped on by a few burly soldiers, who were insulting and beating him up. After a short while, the Houndhead man's body was covered in bruises and bruises.
Looking at this scene, Nam clenched his fist and scolded softly. "Obi, these hyenas are too cruel."
So they were Hyena-men … No wonder they looked similar to Houndhead men.
Seeing his own kind being humiliated, although Nam was angry, he stood on the spot and didn't have the courage to step forward to fight for justice. It was obvious that he was used to such situations.
After a long while, when the hyena-guards stopped beating him up and the injured Houndhead man left, Nam heaved a sigh of relief. He clenched his teeth and said angrily, "I must get into Saade Academy so that they won't dare to bully us Houndhead men anymore!"
I patted Nam's shoulder comfortingly. Without saying a word, I brought him to the end of the queue to enter the city.
The queue entered the city gate and it was soon our turn. However, when the Hyena-men soldiers saw Nam and me, they extended their hands to stop us. Their eyes were filled with disdain.
They didn't scold or beat us, but waved their hands and said impatiently, "Houndhead men again. Go back, go back. Without a master to lead you, you servants can't enter and leave Rock City as you please."
After saying that, they ignored us and went to greet the people at the back.
Nam panted heavily again, but I didn't care. I walked to the front of the Hyena-men and said with a smile, "Big brother, we are students going to participate in Saade Academy's selection and not servants. Please allow us to pass."
After hearing what I said, the Hyena-man soldier was surprised. He clicked his tongue and said, "Yo, I didn't expect that there would be people from your Houndhead men participating in Saade Academy's selection."
Hearing his question, Nam finally gained some courage and interrupted, "Our Green Water Village is also under the jurisdiction of Rock City. Both of us have demon cultivation, so of course we have the right to participate in the selection."
Nam's words were filled with anger. The Hyena-man soldier's face instantly darkened and he smiled coldly at Nam. "Demon cultivation?
Hehe, as long as I don't let you in, you don't have the right.
Just scram back to your Green Water Village! "
After saying that, he waved his hand to chase us away.
Even though the Hyena-man was rude and unreasonable, his words weren't without reason. If we couldn't enter the city, we naturally wouldn't be able to participate in the selection.
I extended my hand to stop the furious Nam. It wasn't a wise move to start a conflict with the guards. Even though their cultivation wasn't high, if they provoked the other soldiers in the city, it wouldn't be easy for us to escape, let alone enter the city.
For the current situation, we had to think of another way.
Since fists couldn't open a path, we could only use money to buy one.
I extended my hand for Nam to take out the money pouch.
Seeing that I was asking for the money pouch, Nam wasn't stupid and instantly understood what I meant. He widened his eyes and shook his head. "Duo Ji, that won't do.
This is the money that the village chief got from selling the herbs. We can't give it to them. "
Even though he was reluctant, after a short stalemate, he had no choice but to compromise. Clenching his teeth, he took out the money pouch from the cloth bag and passed it to me.
After receiving the money pouch, I returned to the Hyena-man soldier's side. Ignoring the impatience in his eyes, I directly passed the money pouch to him.
Looking at the gold coins in the cloth bag, the Hyena-man soldier instantly put away his impatience. He weighed the money pouch in his hand and revealed a satisfied smile. He pretended to cough a few times before saying, "That's right … Since you are here to participate in the selection of Thaad Academy, then go in. But remember, Rock City isn't your Green Water Village. After entering the city, you must follow the rules!"
