Chapter 21: Blood Eye Hao Gui

  "I didn't want it to be like this either."

  Ma Long revealed a bitter smile, he could understand the implicit meaning of Master Lycan Druitt.

  This sudden slave uprising, Marlon guessed, had a great deal to do with him - several days ago that evening, he had casually mentioned to the cow-headed youth Aister that improving the treatment of slaves would increase their work efficiency.

  These days, Aisite didn't come again, and Malong was busy dealing with the half-werewolf nail households on the side of the orphanage.

  It seems that the young man with cow head who got some hints from Ma Long has messed up the matter of improving slave treatment and increasing slave work efficiency.

  No, this is not just a general mess, but a big mess!

  This was a slave uprising that set half of heaven ablaze with fierce flames.

  "Old Kang, I'm asking for your help!" Ma Long said with a bitter smile, his expression complex as he continued: "Help me rescue A'Er and see if...he's still alive."

  If it had been discovered before the riot, there would still have been a chance to quell the situation, but now those slaves who were forced into hard labor have already made such a big noise in the northwest of Baisha City.

  Although the slaves' uprising may have been for the noble purpose of fighting against their fate, at this moment they have obviously become rioters from fighters against fate.

  The power of words is no longer enough to make the slaves who have become rioters put down their weapons and return to peace.

  Malong couldn't stop the situation from escalating, so he could only ask for help from Master Druid, to rescue the young Minotaur boy Ayster, who was sincere and friendly with him, from the rioting northwest district of White Sand City.

  "Alright, I'll help you. But Marlon, my friend, you also need to promise me one thing - protect the Book of Eli well!"

  Lithariel the Druid Master agreed to Marlon's request, only to immediately make a demand of his own, that the Book of Eli was not in the small cottage but rather in Marlon's backpack.

  Next, Lycan Druid Master didn't wait for Ma Long's answer and transformed his form from half-human half-bear to the bear form that Lycan Druid used in battle.

  In just a few breaths' time, the Lycan Druid Master had transformed into a giant bear and vanished from Marlon's line of sight.

  Lithariel's animal companion, the giant wolverine Lukas, remained behind, apparently entrusted with protecting Marlon and others.

  After Liruid's departure, Malong instantly became the backbone of the small team, and he did not disappoint this identity. He immediately began to issue orders without hesitation.

  "Let's go, back home and meet up with Uncle Bernard!"

  As he said this, Ma Long couldn't help but miss his fake iPhone.

  "This instant messaging tool, 'Communication Magic Crystal', is something that only the wealthy and high-ranking mages can afford to play with due to its price of nearly 10,000 Lant, while ordinary people are still living in an ancient era where communication basically relies on shouting."

  At least at this moment, Ma Long felt that he had discovered the biggest shortcoming of this alien world.

  If someone could invent mobile phones... no, even fixed-line phones for the world, I'd be willing to invest as much money as possible!

  Ma Long is a standard liberal arts student, and the physics knowledge he learned in middle school has long been returned to the teacher. It's no problem for him to make up stories based on his memory.

  Replicate this thing called phone according to its principle in this different world?

  That difficulty is no different from asking Ma Long to build a Gundam that can transform into a space fighter.

  Fortunately, the location where Ma Long and others were located was not too far from White Oak Street.

  But trouble also followed closely, Ma Long led the crowd to rush to Bai Xiang Street halfway, and the slum also became chaotic.

  Baisa City is indeed very large, but now the northwest city district is ablaze with flames reaching the sky, and the floating boats from the Blue Storm Fortress garrison on the sea are also rushing out in a swarm towards the northwest. Who can't guess that something big has happened or a great disturbance has occurred in the northwest city district?

  The clever ones have already fled to what they consider safe places, following the habits formed during the World War; those with a sense of responsibility are busy rushing home to protect their families; and the last group of looters is trying to stir up trouble in the slums... Different people have different ways of living, even if these people from another world don't know what rice is.

  Ma Long and his group were all either women, children or weaklings. Only the giant, flower-faced wolf-like Lukas looked like he had any intimidating power at all. In this chaotic situation in White Sand City, how could there not be those with ulterior motives eyeing them?

  Although Ma Long relied on his extraordinary strength to lead the crowd in evading several groups of people who had gathered together, when they reached a T-junction just two streets away from the home of that poor girl who had already passed away, Ma Long, who was unable to move quickly because he had to take care of the crowd, was inevitably blocked by more than 20 people who were clearly organized and disciplined.

  "Malone - Lester, hand over that Book of Eli! I, the blood-eyed demon Stuart, will spare your life!"

  The one who said this was a burly, ugly-looking ape-like humanoid with a height of over two meters, standing among the crowd blocking Ma Long's way. His eyes glowed like blood in the dark street without streetlights, shining with greedy light.

  Bloody-eyed Haoguai Stuart?

  Whether it's the self-proclaimed or that robust blood-eye image, Ma Long subconsciously thought of the famous fighting game "Street Fighter" and the hidden character Gouki, known as the "World's Strongest Fighter".

  If possible, Ma Long really wants to "imagine" Gouki out, and let Gouki use his fierce attack to tell this self-proclaimed Blood-eyed Gouki Stuart.

  Who is the real Oni, and... what can be done, what cannot be done.

  But in reality, Ma Long clearly knew that even if he were to "imagine" Gouki now, the result would be similar to when he used his spiritual energy to imagine a big yellow sports car on the beach during the day - at most, it could only make Gouki exist for a few seconds before collapsing and disappearing due to insufficient spiritual energy.

  This is the real world, compared to Musa-Mein's "plane projection fragments" virtual world, for his "mental power" constraint and suppression, it must be at least a hundred times stronger!

  In "Plane Projection Fragment", Malong's spiritual energy will be replenished endlessly like a long river, in this real world...

  So, Ma Long didn't even hesitate. He turned around and took out the so-called "Eli's Book" from his backpack: "Get out of my way first, and 'Eli's Book' is yours."

  For Ma Long, although he also brought this so-called "Eli's Book" with him when he went out to play because of the relationship with Lizard Druid Master, in fact, this book had no other valuable place except for its extremely old paper.

  Master Llewddyn, the interest is not in "The Book of Ely" itself, but in those fanciful accounts of an "alien world" that are attached to it.

  Unfortunately, Ma Long's overly swift action seemed to have had an adverse effect.

  "Smart little kid!" Self-proclaimed Blood Eye Hao Gui Stewart revealed a sinister smile: "Throw it over first, I want to test its authenticity."

  Ma Long was just about to do it, but at this time ——

  Muffled gunfire sounds rang out.
