Although they have a mask covering their from the nose downward and hat, their features are exactly the same as a human. They have brown tanned skin, wearing a scarf and a pair of pants, their bodies can be seen that made them looked identical to humans.
Their eyes are the same too, much different from the ones he had seen.
The two looked at each other, then looked at their back. The one they left caught up: "You're a human too?"
This time, it's a woman, she's covered with thin clothes, her figure can immediately be seen through it.
Mo Xie couldn't help but nod his head.
"Princess, I think this is the companion of those that were captured." One of the men spoke.
The lady nods her head: "Where are you from? We're the only human tribe in this place."
Mo Xie couldn't help but gulp down, for some reason, they all have brown colored skin, and it's greatly attractive too, although her face is covered with a mask from head to her eyes and a veil covering her nose and lips lightly, Mo Xie could see her as a definitely beautiful woman, but Mo Xie isn't one to be attracted to outer appearance.
What made him gulp is their cultivations, he couldn't detect them even after much effort, he started to calm down and spoke. "We're from the outside world."
"Outside world?" The trio looked at each other, they definitely became shocked.
The lady nods her head: "We've killed a Sugandium a month ago, but I think that its race thought that you guys were the ones responsible for it."
"Sugandium?" Mo Xie asked.
The lady nods her head: "The giants patrolling this realm with their eye in the middle of their chest."
Mo Xie immediately knew what she's talking about, he immediately remembered the ones that he had spied on and caused this chain to happen: "And you guys are here to rescue my friends?"
The princess nods her head: "Yes, each human here protects one another, and even outsiders are a welcome sight, if you want to help your friends, come with us."
Mo Xie nods his head: "Okay, let's go."
Well, he picked up the prepared weapons on the ground immediately and stored it back on his ring.
The duo nods their head, they immediately led the group towards the known prison ground.
Mo Xie asked out of curiosity: "What are the creatures that captured my friends called?"
The princess spoke in a low tone: "They are Kalaharz, well, we call them that, they are one of the weakest amongst their race but one of the most intelligent."
"Ah, I'm Tanya Whizt, princess of the Solar Tribe."
Mo Xie felt embarra.s.sed, he had forgotten even courtesy in this place: "Mo Xie, I'm a… pill expert."
Tanya nods her head: "These two are my royal guards, Sulam and Waakem."
Mo Xie nods his head: "Nice to meet you two."
The two merely nods their head and continued their infiltration.
Tanya also went silent: "We're deep into their territory, we need to be silent."
Mo Xie nods his head. This is no time for pleasantries after all.
But as they went deeper in, Mo Xie felt the fluctuation of spiritual energy, booming sounds far ahead.
"Do not scan, my people are fighting the Kalaharz to distract them." Tanya warned: "If you try to reach them, we'll be detected."
Mo Xie immediately retracted his spiritual energy: "I'll ask next time whenever I want to do something."
Tanya nods her head: "Thank you for understanding."
Mo Xie smiled, he's the one getting tagging along yet the other one is thanking him for being obedient; 'She's too kind for her own good…'
After a while, they arrived at their destination. "Sulam, Waakem, search for them, we'll stay here to guard this place."
The two nodded their heads, the place they came to is a cave and the way in through a pa.s.sage going downward.
Mo Xie couldn't help but think that he's still lucky, to think that there are humans in this place. He then thought of the architecture of this place and couldn't help but ask: "Are the Kalaharz able to make a kingdom that looks the same as a human's territory?"
Tanya hearing this smiled sadly, she looked at Mo Xie and didn't explain, but said something that made the latter understand: "Ten thousand years ago, there are ten tribes of humans in this land…"
"The Void Creatures are a local here too, we are the guardian of this place, well, supposed to be. We are here to destroy the Void Creatures to their roots, but their power suddenly grew beyond our capability to stop them anymore."
Mo Xie immediately regretted asking, well, at least he knew the general information of the land.
But Tanya smiled: "Well, don't worry, we were all attacked, and the survivors became a single tribe, the Solar Tribe, we are sinners of the past and was vanished here to fulfill this duty, we were a single ent.i.ty before, and we just came back to what we once was."
Mo Xie nods his head, but then, he too knew what happened, much bloodshed would've happened if they escaped, a lot of experts definitely would've sacrificed their lives for the weak ones to escape, but then, he thought; 'Sinners?'
'What kind of sin would one had done in order for a whole tribe to be sealed?'
But Mo Xie didn't ask anymore, trying to prevent himself from ruining his helper's mood anymore.
"Princess." After a while, the two returned: "There are only four here."
Tanya frowned: "Where are the other five?"
Sulam spoke: "Princess, I think they might've been eaten or used as a hostage since we raided their base."
Mo Xie looked at the four; "Wu Shanli, where are they?"
Unlike Mo Xie, the other nine had no eye technique to let them see in the fog, hearing his words, Wu Shanli came to tears: "Th-they were taken by the one that caught us."
"Just this day or a few days ago?" Mo Xie immediately asked, if the others were taken away to another place, then, he'll have a really hard time to find them.
"That…" Wu Shanli felt a little panicked, her eyes wide in despair as she slumps on the ground: "Miss Bingyun and brother Yuxian were taken a few days ago, the other three were dragged out of the prison a few hours ago… we, we were the only four left."
Mo Xie couldn't help but felt panicked too.
Tanya then spoke: "Don't worry, unless they have a void scar portal, they will never get out of our people's range, this place had been completely surrounding for two weeks now, and if some void creatures walked out, they will definitely be followed, don't worry, a scout will report it sooner or later."
Mo Xie nods his head: "Thank you, then, what should we do now?"
Tanya looked at one of her guards: "Sulam, can you rescue the three that are being used as a hostage? You'll sneak upon them."
Sulam nods his head: "Consider it done, my lady."
She then turned to the other one: "Waakem, come with us and wait for the others at the border."
"Yes."
Tanya looked at Mo Xie: "Please follow us."
Mo Xie nods his head, he looked at the four rescued people and spoke: "Everyone, let's go."
He felt the word 'border' slightly confusing, but then, he merely thought that it's something that divides territories.
