Dawn of a New Era-Chapter 557 - 531: The Mysterious Stranger

Through understanding.

It’s almost another world there.

Humans, barbarians, and monsters coexist, and humans can only struggle at the lowest tier, akin to slaves, and the God of Blood is fierce and savage, like a beast, it’s utterly chaotic there.

Since the occupation by Luoyue, Myanmar Jade, and other countries.

A large number of refugees and government resistance forces have fled across the border to Great Xia Country, but at that time, Great Xia was preoccupied and unable to help.

Chen Shouyi returned to his room, feeling somewhat heavy-hearted.

Perhaps this is the mainstream of this world, and the countries that have managed to persist until now are only a few, most countries have likely already fallen.

Once these barbarian gods have fully absorbed these tens and even hundreds of millions of followers.

Who knows how powerful they will become?

By then, humanity might be in grave danger!

Soon after.

An officer came to deliver a set of Luoyue language materials.

Chen Shouyi began to carefully look through them.

...

Late at night.

Two figures were moving swiftly through the mountain forest, one ahead and one behind.

"The border is just ahead, there are many mines buried in that forest... although you probably won’t be affected, it’s still best to walk on the trees," Li Wenwu said, recalling the image of this man taking a bullet to the temple, he couldn’t help but shake his head.

He decided not to speak.

With such defense, a mine explosion probably wouldn’t even break his skin.

"Relax."

Chen Shouyi’s voice came from behind.

Li Wenwu ran a few steps, suddenly feeling something was off; there was no sound of Chen Shouyi’s footsteps from behind. He couldn’t resist looking back, and at once, his eyes widened, and he almost stumbled to the ground.

The other person was flying silently close to the ground.

Seeing Li Wenwu turn back, Chen Shouyi sped up and flew alongside him: "What’s wrong? I thought doing it this way wouldn’t touch the land mines!"

"Ah, oh, nothing!" Li Wenwu quickly turned his head forward, running with determination.

Sir, do as you wish.

If you wish to show off, then show off.

Chen Shouyi instantly felt disinterested, slowed down, and fell back a few meters; he didn’t know the way.

A few seconds later, Li Wenwu couldn’t resist:

"Umm... I watched your speech footage, is this what you call willful flight?"

Chen Shouyi flew beside him again, casually saying, "Yes, but it’s a little slow."

Is this slow? Although they weren’t running at full speed, they were still doing forty to fifty meters per second.

Li Wenwu couldn’t help his curiosity and asked, "What’s the fastest you can go?"

"Just about two hundred fifty meters per second, not even the speed of sound!" Chen Shouyi said modestly.

Li Wenwu opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to say something, but ultimately remained silent, focusing on the road. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

He felt his desire to speak had completely dissipated in just a few words.

At this moment!

With a loud "boom!"

Chen Shouyi saw Li Wenwu blown away.

With agile movements, he twisted his body mid-air and landed with his feet on the ground.

Chen Shouyi noticed that one leg of his pants was completely blown off, and his calf was charred black, quickly followed by a trickle of blood sliding down from his leg.

"Are you okay?" Chen Shouyi asked worriedly.

This was somewhat humorous; after all, he had just been the one reminding him.

"I’m... okay! Just a small injury!" Li Wenwu gritted his teeth, being quite resilient.

He glanced around, his old face flushed; he realized they had come close to the border, having paid no attention while running.

"Why not take a break?" Chen Shouyi kindly suggested.

"No need, keep going!"

Speaking, he pushed off the ground, leaping towards the big tree ahead, but as soon as he applied force, he felt something was wrong. His leg was completely numb and couldn’t exert any strength.

Fortunately, he was ultimately a legendary warrior; with a quick response, he stomped on the air beneath him while his waist bounced.

His body lifted half a meter further into the air.

He eventually managed to jump onto the tree without embarrassing himself.

Chen Shouyi looked at him, jumping on the tree almost like doing tricks, creating a big commotion; it was clear his leg was numb from the explosion, yet he couldn’t understand why resting wouldn’t be better.

...

Luoyue Country has many mountains, stretching narrowly north to south, over 1,600 kilometers.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, the group avoided densely populated areas, moving swiftly through the scarcely inhabited mountains, yet Chen Shouyi discovered even here it was enveloped by a faint Domain of Faith.

Clearly, this barbarian god had dominion over the entire Luoyue Country.

...

As dawn approached.

Li Wenwu stood atop a cliff, surveying the surroundings while studying a military map, soon jumping down and returning to their starting point.

"We’re already at Dihe City!" Li Wenwu announced.

"How much farther?" Chen Shouyi asked.

"We’ve traveled about one-third of the way," Li Wenwu replied.

"Let’s go down and take a look!" Chen Shouyi suggested.

For some reason, along the way he felt a vague sense of being watched, which had been present since their departure.

Yet multiple thorough searches yielded no results.

Li Wenwu hesitated for a moment, considering they were two legendary figures, unless it was a barbarian god, they wouldn’t encounter any danger, and said, "Sure!"

...

Upon reaching Dihe City, Chen Shouyi regretted it.

The whole city reeked of foul odor.

Barbarians in beast skirts, strange beasts from another world passing by, and excrement littered the streets.

The street lamps occasionally had corpses hanging from them, some already highly decomposed, maggots crawling over them, mostly human corpses.

"This is like Hell on earth," Li Wenwu murmured.

When pedestrians saw barbarians, they hurried to avoid them.

Chen Shouyi witnessed firsthand that if someone walked past a barbarian, they were smacked, writhing in pain, and had to kowtow in apology once they got up.

But this clearly depended on the person.

At least when Chen Shouyi and Li Wenwu walked the street, no barbarian dared to give them a look, much less use a whip.

Not to mention Chen Shouyi for now, Li Wenwu nearby was burly and towering like an iron tower, and he carried a sword, clearly not someone to be trifled with.

"You, come here!" Chen Shouyi beckoned the Luoyue person who had kowtowed earlier, using the common language.

He realized there was no need to use Luoyue language.

The place was almost assimilated by the other world.

The Luoyue person in ragged clothing hesitated, covering a swollen face, timidly walked over, a hint of hatred flashed across, yet was well concealed, and before reaching them, knelt: "Sir... my lord, you called for me!"

Hearing this, Chen Shouyi immediately lost interest, waved his hand: "Go on, it’s nothing!"

"Ah, what did I see, two legendary figures, let me guess, you come from that northern country, don’t you!" Just then, a playful voice came from beside them.

Chen Shouyi’s expression changed, he turned abruptly, and saw a man smiling warmly as he approached them.

His clothes were neat and clean, spotless, his handsome face wore a friendly smile.
