Chapter 417: 220, Princess of the Great Yan Dynasty
The Red Robe Mage saw this scene, and his pupils suddenly contracted, almost in an instant.
The Red Robe Mage raised the Skull Staff in his hand high, and after lifting the staff, he thrust it heavily down.
Instantly, a wave of red air burst from the bottom of the staff, while the others had already started shooting without hesitation, countless bullets flying.
While instantly riddling the Red Robe Mage with holes, all the surrounding followers' bodies twisted and rapidly swelled into one meatball after another.
These black-robed followers, like madmen, charged at the crowd without hesitation.
An impressive figure sprang into action almost instantly; Xia Na wielded her Tang Blade, the cold gleam of the blade flickering as a thunderous aura mingled with a charred smell wafted through the air.
The oblique blade swept through, instantly reducing several people to meatball powder!
"Dodge!"
Xia Na shouted loudly, her purple pupils sparking with dazzling lightning. Lightning bloomed from Xia Na's Tang Blade as the origin, blossoming into splendid bolts all over!
In almost an instant, all the cultists in the room were engulfed by the lightning.
Including that Red Robe Mage.
Seeing this scene, the Red Robe Mage let out a strange cry from his throat, and suddenly a huge crack opened in his chest, extending several bizarre tentacles and claws like a spider's from his back.
Perceiving the Red Robe Mage's actions, Xia Na advanced without hesitation, slashing fiercely, and with a 'pfft' sound, in the midst of the Red Robe Mage's mutation, his head was cut off.
Xia Na stepped on the Red Robe Mage's head with her boot, thrusting her blade deeply into the beheaded skull, the blade's tip radiating brilliant lightning, charring the entire head to a crisp!
Everything happened almost in the blink of an eye, within just ten seconds, all the bizarre cultists in the room were completely eliminated.
Xia Na exhaled deeply, while Johnny yelled unhesitatingly, "Alert!"
Immediately, the Wildfire Gang's special forces began to stand guard around, to prevent anyone else from hiding.
Only then did Chen Che enter the room, frowning at the sight of the tragic scene. Xia Na approached one of the cultists from behind, using her blade to pry open the back of his head and extracted a charred insect, curled up inside, already electrocuted.
"Luckily, I acted fast. These people are all followers of the Blood Archbishop. This cult is even more terrifying than the Apocalypse Society, with almost every follower implanted with this kind of gu worm in the back of their heads.
If danger arises, these gu worms can be activated instantly. These worms cause the host's body to swell tenfold, or even a hundredfold, before exploding loudly.
They are living meat bombs, with the explosion being extremely powerful.
The exploding blood mist can span dozens to hundreds of meters, and this mist is highly toxic. Even if you miraculously avoid the blast damage, your body will be dissolved in the mist.
The only solution is to sever their bodies in half before they swell to their limit, so their swelling stops abruptly.
But the best way is to kill the worm in the back of their heads; otherwise, some corpses will swell and explode even after being cut in half."
Xia Na spoke while tilting her head to glance at the Red Robe Mage, saying, "This guy also has a worm inside, allowing his body to undergo flesh mutational changes. The Blood Archbishop's methods are bizarre and are undoubtedly the most cruel among all the cults."
Listening to Xia Na's account, Chen Che understood how dangerous the situation had been. If Xia Na hadn't acted decisively to kill the Blood Archbishop's members swiftly.
In this confined space, these lunatics would have self-detonated one after another, leaving no living being left.
Chen Che's gaze turned to the girl bound on the cross, locking eyes with her as a flash of astonishment passed through his expression.
Chen Che signaled to Xia Na with his eyes, as Xia Na swung her blade, instantly cutting the ropes binding the girl.
The moment the girl dropped to the ground, she covered her body, her white skin etched with various eerie markings.
It was unclear whether it was drawn with blood or some special material.
The girl tore off the tape from her lips, finally able to speak. Despite her fear, her clear amber eyes swept over the crowd, her lips trembling, "Don't hurt me! I was kidnapped by them! I am Xia Yuansi, the Second Princess of the Great Yan Dynasty!"
The crowd had been curious about the girl's identity from her tender skin and ethereal aura, clearly not from an ordinary family.
She was even used by the other party as a sacrificial offering.
Chen Che estimated she was the eldest daughter of some noble family.
But with Xia Yuansi revealing her identity, the faces of everyone present changed dramatically, their eyes fixed on Xia Yuansi.
The Great Yan Dynasty? The Great Yan Dynasty is east of the Night Empire?
The Third Princess of the Great Yan Dynasty... She is truly a noble descendant; how could she be captured here by this group of cultists?
In this moment, Chen Che suddenly realized, if what this girl said was true... she is truly a big catch.
Xia Yuansi tightly covered her body, lowering her head in shame, "Can someone give me some clothes?"
Chen Che snapped back to reality, took off his T-shirt, and tossed it to Xia Yuansi. Everyone turned their gaze away, and Xia Yuansi sighed in relief, quickly putting on Chen Che's T-shirt, reducing her shame somewhat.
Chen Che was quite tall, and Xia Yuansi was a head shorter than him, so putting on Chen Che's T-shirt barely covered her pale hips.
After she changed, Chen Che's gaze swept back, noting that this red-haired girl's long, fair legs and bare feet were in no way inferior to Xia Na's.
That little face is quite pure and charming, especially the pair of exceptionally beautiful eyes, with a natural beauty mark at the corner that adds a touch of allure.
Definitely an extraordinary beauty.
Feeling Chen Che's somewhat heated gaze, Xia Yuansi, wearing Chen Che's clothes, curled up tightly, her body somewhat afraid.
Clearly, she was also aware of her allure to men.
In the apocalyptic world, if a woman has an exquisite face but lacks self-defending ability, it's not a gift from heaven.
But rather a sin.
Xia Yuansi fearfully bit her red lips, afraid that she had just escaped from a wolf's den only to fall into a tiger's mouth.
Xia Na also noticed Chen Che's gaze, knowing the guy has a leg and foot fetish. Watching Chen Che stare at Xia Yuansi's fair little feet, she kicked Chen Che's butt in jealousy and annoyance.
"Have you seen enough? Love feet so much, huh? Granny, want me to take off my shoes and let you lick?"
Johnny, Bobby, Chana, and the others immediately turned their heads, awkwardly looking at the sky.
With an expression like they hadn't heard or knew anything.
Xia Yuansi immediately curled her toes, fearfully pulling her feet back.
Chen Che glared at Xia Na with displeasure, saying, "I'm looking at those strange runes on her body! Damn it!"
"Can you even understand them?"
"Why can't I understand?" Chen Che's mouth curled into a peculiar smile. He walked over to Xia Yuansi, staring at the runes at the top of her thigh and said, "Flesh lord, this is a sacrifice offered to you, please accept with a smile!"
Upon hearing Chen Che's translation, everyone present froze. Xia Na said with a strange expression, "You really recognize it?"
"Duh!"
Chen Che didn't know how to explain it to Xia Na and the others because he really recognized the symbols engraved on Xia Yuansi.
In this post-apocalyptic world, after a hundred years, the original writing and languages have changed under this apocalypse.
Some ancient scripts have long been lost.
But the engraving on Xia Yuansi's body is English... Chen Che naturally could recognize it.
But for others, they simply couldn't understand these characters.
"Off-topic, off-topic, now is not the time to talk about this."
Chen Che squatted in front of Xia Yuansi, looking at her pitiful little face, curiously asking, "You are really the Third Princess of the Great Yan Dynasty?"
Trying to wrap her entire body in the T-shirt, Xia Yuansi nodded and said, "Don't kill me, you'd gain nothing from killing me, and you might even suffer retaliation from my royal father and brother.
You killed these cultists, which means you're against them.
I beg you to protect me, help me contact my family.
I promise I'll repay you!"
Xia Yuansi quickly said, then nervously stared at Chen Che, recognizing he was the one leading these people.
As long as these people don't want to sacrifice her like those cultists, she thought.
This little princess is quite quick-witted.
Chen Che turned to Xia Na and asked, "Nana, what do you think? Do you think she is the Little Princess of the Great Yan Dynasty?"
Xia Na hesitated for a moment, staring at the nervous Xia Yuansi, especially at her amber-like pupils, and made a quick decision, saying, "Her identity seems real... from appearance, you can tell, the direct bloodline of the Great Yan Dynasty's Royal Family, has a unique identifying mark.
Red hair and amber-like eyes are the most striking identifiers.
Don't stare into her eyes too long. If she truly is of the royal bloodline of the Great Yan Dynasty, it is said that the imperial bloodline of the Great Yan Dynasty, with amber-like eyes, have special abilities.
They can entice the opposite sex.
If you stare into her eyes too long, you will unconsciously be drawn to her.
It's said that the purer the bloodline, the greater the power of these eyes.
Some can attract not only the opposite sex but also the same sex.
According to rumors, in the Western Coastal Alliance, there was a powerful governor with a perverse collecting obsession, extremely fond of women's eyes, who once offered a high price for a pair of amber eyes from a direct bloodline of the Great Yan Dynasty.
The result... the Great Yan Dynasty sent an army of 300,000 to directly invade the Coastal Alliance's border, fought their way to that governor's state, and sliced off the governor's flesh piece by piece, placing them on a flag making a human flesh flag.
Since then, no one dared covet the eyes of the Great Yan Dynasty's direct bloodline...
From her eyes, it should be true."
