201: Chapter 183: Steel Rope 201: Chapter 183: Steel Rope “Great lord, the most beloved king with eight claws, I beseech you, I will provide more sacrifices for you, to manifest the might of you and your gods in the Exotic Realm….” In the depths of the lake, at the bottom of the mud and rubble, there was a large, dark purple vortex that was slowly swirling. Surrounding the vortex were busy fishmen and large Naga-like guards constantly patrolling. Meanwhile, the small fish-headed Beast Tamer earnestly appealed to the Exotic Realm Great Lord across from him, begging the latter to help his brother under the same Deity’s Order banner. “… &&* (Get lost)!” But this time, what he received was a furious rebuke. The lord was furious. How many times had it been? Where were the promised sacrifices and gifts? The roar underwater turned into a light purple shockwave, causing the lake to boil due to the Great Lord’s anger, and the next moment, a wave surged toward the shore. Jia Yi, the direct target of the anger, remained unscathed… except for the fishman guard who shielded him from the gunfire. The dark purple vortex silently stopped spinning and its color began to fade, indicating that the connection had been cut off on the other side. Nevertheless, Jia Yi wasn’t annoyed. Casually flipping through the pages of his book, he picked out a piece of crimson snake scale and restarted the ritual. Opening the gate and offering pleasing gifts to the other side? Weren’t the fishmen that were given by the previous Great Lord suitable already? As another area of water began to swirl slowly, a new vortex lit up, turning the surrounding seawater blood red with its crimson contamination, and Fishman Jia Yi hissed at the vortex with a series of snakelike sounds. “Master of the Southern Cross Swamp, Eight-clawed King…” But the content of the speech was merely a change of names from the previous one. The Sacrifice Tamer, or the Exotic Realm Exchange Beast Trainers, mainly made a living by following powerful beings. They were adept at spatial abilities and knowledge of various Exotic Realms. Jia Yi was originally an ordinary professional, not even a Beast Tamer, but the “Gift” of a six-mouthed, three-hearted, eight-clawed Deity completely changed him. The gluttonous Son of the Evil God was very satisfied with his “sacrifice,” and granted him its extremely “favorable” reward, transforming him into it. With gains come losses. Since it was now known as the “family of the eight-clawed god,” the eight-clawed creatures in it gave Jia Yi some face when mingling underneath their deity. By association, it shared equal “administrative status” with other lords, all being direct Family Clans of a certain deity. With this relationship, it could easily contact other Great Lords, Kings, and get their returns at relatively favorable rates. In fact, those high-ranking beings from Exotic Realms also liked such an Exotic Realm spokesman and trader who provided endless foreign flavors and souls, Otherworldly knowledge, and power. Perhaps one day their neighbors would aid in opening the door and showing them the way… Who wouldn’t like traitors when it came to their own? Among the numerous “spokespersons,” Jia Yi had a good reputation because he was utterly unscrupulous in providing ample sacrifices and brutally attacking. The countless fatalities directly and indirectly caused by it were immeasurable. The more sacrifices they made, the more blessings and gifts they received from the other side, which was the fundamental reason why the mediocre-talented Jia Yi could quickly step into the fifth-tier. But today, he was about to squander all the accumulated trust and “friendship”… Another batch of snake-men and fish-men armies emerged from the vortex. Upon arriving in this world, most of them were crushed by the enormous pressure… literally speaking, the Exotic Realm rules suppressed the average two-meter-tall snake-men, cutting them almost in half. “Hiss!” The hoarse snake sound echoed around the altars as the snake-man commander berated the summoner’s recklessness. Why didn’t they have a domain that helped resist rule suppression? Why was the air so polluted here? Why was everything so different from what they were told? The ugly fishman Beast Tamer glanced at him, and the dead fish eyes were full of malice and hatred. The next moment, the snake-man officer fell silent. He lowered his head, then raised it again, his snake pupils turning crimson red. A large amount of poisonous saliva seeped from the corners of his twisted mouth, as he lost his sanity. “Beastly Frenzy,” or simply called “Partial Madness,” is a favorite ability of 2-tier and above Beast Tamers. It can easily transform disobedient wild beasts and tamed creatures into fighting machines that only know combat and slaughter. Upon completing the contract and passing through the “Beast Tide Vortex,” they became Jia Yi’s tamed beasts in name. “Go, slaves of the swamp overlord, go and attack the two-legged creatures on the shore.” The next moment, the snake and fish swarms began to move slowly, following the Beast Tamer’s demands. Of course, the sheer number of Otherworldly cannon fodder and sea beasts in the lake now exceeded Jia Yi’s taming limit. So, when they arrived at the front line of the war, the taming contract would automatically break, leaving only some wild beasts that had lost their sanity due to the flames of war behind. Jia Yi turned around and began trading, or rather, deceiving the snake-man boss once more. He couldn’t produce any bargaining chips for exchange, and only needed to issue empty promises, boasting about the upcoming bountiful harvest on his side… Betraying loyalty and humiliating the king would undoubtedly bring retaliation against him later on. However, Jia Yi understood these Exotic Realm beings better than anyone else. They didn’t care if he deceived them or if he played tricks in the agreements and even sent his people to be cannon fodder… As long as the promised sacrifices were replenished afterwards, along with an extra gift and a submissive attitude, everything would blow over. As far as Jia Yi was concerned, as long as he got past this crisis, the sacrifices wouldn’t be a problem, and if he couldn’t get through, the sacrifices still wouldn’t be a problem. In fact, he wasn’t entirely lying… “Almost there, almost there…” This was the seventh vortex around him. The vortexes, which had lost their light, were still slowly spinning in place… Even though they spun slowly and didn’t even affect pollution readings anymore, they were still “alive.” Communication between the realms inherently involved establishing a “connection.” When one side paid a huge price, directly sending their cannon fodder over, the degree of “connection” would evolve. Seven vortexes, like seven nails or steel cables, were pulling the two “large worlds” closer and closer, faintly tearing apart the normal spatial Order. Big Cat’s evaluation wasn’t wrong. As a Beast Tamer, Jia Yi was nothing but trash. However, as an escape master, he was a genius who had been immersed in the mysteries of Otherworldly space for decades. When the overlord within the seventh vortex was also provoked by Jia Yi’s greed and deception to the point of launching an attack across space, he quickly severed the connection once more and turned his attention to the eighth one… “The favorite of the Eight-clawed King…” ——— ——— “Brother Guan?” Lu Ping’an did not choose to get closer. He could solve the problem with a phone call, so there was no need for him to take the risk. The sudden communication request startled Guan Xinxian, but he quickly understood. “I’m also at Panlong Lake and I just saw you. My target is that fish-head too. Is there a possibility of cooperation?” Lu Ping’an didn’t waste any time and directly stated his request. “Of course, your arrival is perfect!” On the other end of the phone, Guan Xinxian was overjoyed.
