Lord of the Earth

Human cage.

"Wow..."

In the sky, hundreds of huge wooden barrels were pulled by spider-like flying creatures with spider silk. They were dropped from the air and then dumped on the ground, exuding steaming juice and a strong meaty aroma.

Suddenly, it attracted everyone in the cage to gather together...

"Hey! Is today's food so good?"

There was some surprise on the face of a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

"Yeah, it smells like meat? In addition to the thick soup, there are actually fist-sized pieces of meat in it. Have these catastrophe creatures suddenly become kind-hearted..."

There was some surprise on other people's faces as well.

"Not good. This time, the situation with the alien race is even worse... I'm afraid we can't escape!"

Only a middle-aged man in white, who looked elegant and chivalrous, had a changed expression on his face.

"Mr. Shan Fu... I remember you said last time that the poor food meant that the situation of these catastrophe creatures was getting worse... This time the food was obviously good, but how come you still judged that the situation outside was even worse?"

The thick-browed and honest young man had a look of confusion on his face.

"Before, there was less and less food in the soup, which means that the food reserves of these catastrophe creatures have almost been eaten up, and they can't allocate too much to us. And now, even though there is no food, they are still distributing meat soup... Have you ever thought about where all this meat comes from?"

The middle-aged scholar in white had a cautious look in his eyes.

"what do you mean?"

The young man with thick eyebrows suddenly turned pale. He put his hand to cover his mouth, trying his best not to vomit!

Could it be that this broth is made from human flesh...

"Don't worry, that's not the case! Judging from the current situation, many of those catastrophe creatures have a special liking for the meat of our human race, so it is likely that it is the meat of some other alien races... But the fact that we can eat meat can only mean that the enemy suffered heavy casualties, so they can spare food for us prisoners..."

The middle-aged scholar in white shook his head and said.

Although the aliens are also intelligent creatures, their meat still tastes a bit disgusting, but now that they have been hungry for a long time, even if it is really "human flesh", some people will probably continue to fight for it in order to survive!

"However, the important thing is not the broth, but the 'omen of death' that this broth represents. These aliens are probably going to attack us!"

"Why are Mr. Shan Fu's words becoming more and more terrifying..."

After hearing this, most of the imprisoned Chinese people around were shocked, while a few were either thoughtful or simply sighed, obviously having the same guess.

"When you were in jail, you were always fed with slop soup and rotten vegetables. Suddenly, you were given a big bowl of rice and a chicken drumstick. What does this mean?"

The words of the scholar in white made the people around him look very ugly.

"You have to eat a meal before execution..."

The leisurely voice coming out of his mouth made many people break down their defenses.

"No, Mr. Shan Fu, this is just your personal guess. Perhaps, this catastrophe creature felt that we couldn't starve to death, so it specially gave us extra food..."

The middle-aged man, who had been hungry for a long time and couldn't help but pick up two pieces of meat and stuff them into his mouth, suddenly stopped what he was doing.

"I know you don't believe it, but it's not difficult to verify the situation outside... I think those Japanese who just came in know the situation outside. We can confirm it by asking..."

The scholar in white had sharp eyes, and a sense of holding the wisdom in his hands.

"That's a good idea. I'll go over and ask!"

The honest young man with thick eyebrows' eyes lit up.

The Japanese people who came before have now been made into "dried meat". After this part of the Japanese were thrown in, they were sitting together, looking at their compatriots being slaughtered above their heads, gritting their teeth and feeling terrified!
"Baga, get out!"

But, it's obvious.

This kind of thing of exposing people's scars is not pleasant, and the result of the young man with thick eyebrows going to inquire about the information was that he was directly blasted back by those Japanese!
"Why, hit a wall?"

A man wearing a straw hat and with scars on his face that had not yet healed was chewing a piece of grass root in his mouth. He looked leisurely and seemed indifferent to the impending death!

"These Japanese are not kindhearted people... Especially the leader. Judging from his appearance, he is most likely a pirate. How could they possibly confront you? It's a good thing they didn't take action!"

"Pirate? Uncle, how did you know this man's identity? ... Could it be that you can also tell fortunes?"

The young man's face became even more curious.

"I can't tell fortunes, but I can judge people... This man has obvious signs of living at sea, and his behavior is full of the style of a pirate..."

The man with the straw hat and scar said this calmly, with a bit of ferocity in his eyes.

"Ah, uncle, how do you know so much?"

"Because, I was once like him..."

"Hiss, you are also a pirate?"

"He's not a pirate, he's just a pirate living on the river, robbing the rich and giving to the poor..."

The scarred man from Straw Hat Island shook his head.

"You don't believe me either? Then let me verify it for you..."

Then he took off the colorful silk cloth tied around his waist, wrapped it around his hands, and walked towards the Japanese...

"Who are you? Get out of here..."

"What do you want to do..."

"Asshole, you thought my Yoshioka family was vegetarian..."

"Oh no, the leader has been captured by him..."

"Hey man, please stop!"

Even though no one could mobilize their spiritual power in this human cage, and their own cultivation could not be fully exerted, and even though the injuries on his body were obvious, this straw hat scarred man called "Water Bandit" was still like a tiger among wolves, holding a group of Japanese tightly...

In the end, he even grabbed the neck of the "pirate" who was completely entangled by the "brocade" and could not move with one hand, and lifted him into the air.

"I ask, and you answer together... If your answers are different, as long as you make a mistake in one word, your leader will break a bone..."

Then, with an unquestionable tone, he glanced at the Japanese soldiers who were generally a head shorter than the others, and said in a cold voice.

Soon, the many forces in the Eternal Land are uniting together and sending large armies to fight against the creatures of catastrophe!
The straw hat man learned the approximate strength of these different forces and some details of the battle through questioning...

Most importantly, from the content of the questions and the meticulous preparation, it is obvious that there is a flavor of investigating "military intelligence".

"It seems that what Mr. Xu said is right..."

After some questioning, they returned to the Chinese side amidst the Japanese people's angry glares but fearless expressions.

"I'm afraid we are really going to die..." A man with a straw hat on his head, a scar on his face, his naked muscles forming a perfect inverted triangle, and a colorful brocade tied around his waist as a belt.

There was a sneer on his face when he talked about death, but there was no fear at all!

"Mr. Xu?"

The young man was stunned.

No, Mr. Shanfu?

"General Gan, knowing that we were going to die, he remained so calm. You are indeed a famous general of the Eastern Wu..."

After hearing this, the middle-aged scholar in white said to the man in the straw hat.

"General Gan, Mr. Xu, two uncles, who are you..."

The young man stared at the two of them with his eyes wide open, his mouth unable to help but open.

"Xu Shu, Xu Yuanzhi!"

"Gan Ning, Gan Xingba!
"So you are two heroes of the late Han Dynasty... That's great. Being able to be with you two, even if I die, it can be considered a great achievement... I am Guo Jing. I didn't expect to be imprisoned in this cage with you two. It is really a great honor..."

A hint of excitement flashed across the young man's face.

"You are not an ordinary person..."

Although this young man seemed a little silly, Xu Shu could still feel his innocent heart from their interactions.

Even Gan Ning admired this young man very much!

Of course, there is no time to brag about myself now. Since it is certain that the aliens are going to start "killing people", the key is to find a way to survive.

"General Gan Ning, you have been so calm these days. I guess you are sure you can escape?"

Xu Shu looked at Gan Ning with a hint of curiosity on his face.

"There is water here. I can use it after I recover, but I can only take less than ten people with me..."

Gan Ning did not hide anything and pointed to the center of the "human prison" where a river ran through it.

It is relatively easy to provide food for millions of people, but it is more difficult to provide water... Therefore, there is a river running through the entire "cage".

As the once famous "Jinfan Thief", Gan Ning's own talents and characteristics are naturally partly related to water!

"The only problem is that even if we find a way out, we still have to face more than 100,000 catastrophe creatures guarding outside..."

Gan Ning's expression was somewhat solemn.

Simply escaping from this stone prison might not be too difficult.

But it is extremely difficult to get rid of these guards!
"Unless we have external aid to help us!"

"I think there should be. I came here at the invitation of a friend, and General Gan Ning also knows that person... He is now in the 'Bai Yujing' mentioned by these Japanese, and he is considered to be a high-ranking official..."

Xu Shu, dressed in white, spoke.

"I did know that Mr. Yuanzhi once served under the Shu Han Emperor Liu. However, I didn't know that he had such a close relationship with Prime Minister Zhuge..."

Gan Ning's face moved.

"We both studied under Master Shui Jing, but my ability is far inferior to his... General Gan Ning is proficient in martial arts and is also a great commander. If he can join Baiyujing, he will definitely be more valued by the lord than me..."

Xu Shu looked at Gan Ning.

Like Jiang Wei, Gan Ning is also one of the "Twenty-Four Heroes of the Three Kingdoms".

In fact, the ranking is in the lower middle position.

Although he is not a truly top-notch general, but with the popularity of the Three Kingdoms, he is not weak even in the entire history. He is definitely a gold-rated hero!

Although Xu Shu didn't know this, it didn't stop him from recruiting people for "Bai Yujing"!
"As far as I know, to establish a country, we need enough population to gather the three kinds of luck of heaven, earth and man. If we can take the opportunity to rescue more of these people, then by then, with the general's merits and strength, we will surely have a place in Baiyujing..."

Gan Ning was originally a very dissolute person, but Xu Shu's compliments still moved his face a little.

Originally, as a famous general of Eastern Wu, he could have entered this Eternal Land and waited to enter the Eternal Land as a general together with the "Emperor of Eastern Wu", but he chose to descend and become this "Jinfan Thief"!
There are naturally some reasons for this.

However, he had encountered a catastrophe before and was seriously injured and captured, which made him miss the days when he had a large number of troops under his command!

Baiyujing is indeed a good choice as a "fortune city" where one has the opportunity to establish a country.

"We alone are not enough... We also need someone to assist us. It would be best if we could cause a large-scale riot to draw the other party's attention. Otherwise, it would be impossible to successfully escape from prison..."

So Gan Ning said.

Although, because there were too many of them, it was difficult to plant restrictions on all of them. They were only imprisoned in this "stone prison" because they could not use their spiritual power. They were still relatively free to move, but their weapons were confiscated. It can be said that they were unarmed...

The creatures of the catastrophe still deployed more than 100,000 fully armed troops on the periphery. Among the humans in the alien world, more than half are just mortals. Even if all of them are dispatched, they will probably be easily slaughtered by the other side...

"These alien races may not kill us casually..."

"Haven't you noticed? These days, apart from the Japanese who were killed because of the jailbreak and hung in the sky as a warning, very few people died... Even after getting sick, the foreigners would send people to treat them..."

"This is enough to show that the importance of our lives should be higher than our deaths."

"So, these calamity creatures won't kill us in advance unless they have no other choice... Of course, it's also possible that I made a mistake in my judgment, after all..."

Xu Shu changed the subject.

Now that everyone has had their "last meal", they may have already been registered with the King of Hell and cannot escape death!
"Anyway, being killed by these people means death, and rebelling against them means death as well... Since we are all going to die, at least we can't let these damned calamity creatures laugh at us humans!"

"However, I'm afraid that Mr. Yuanzhi has been planning this from the beginning. These days, you have made many friends with the leaders of the human race in other worlds, so I'm afraid you have been preparing for it a long time ago..."

"Gan Xingba really has eyes as sharp as a tiger. Although most of these humans are simple-minded and some are quite stupid, there are still some wise people among them... In the current situation, even if our human race becomes the three animals for sacrifice, we cannot allow ourselves to be slaughtered by the creatures of the catastrophe..."

Xu Shu nodded.

Just like Old Gu, among the millions of humans who came from other worlds, there will always be a group of people who still left behind civilization and wisdom worthy of praise!

For example, among the people Xu Shu has contacted now.

Although some people were enslaved by foreign races and served as slaves, they accumulated knowledge and skills over a long period of time, and even masters and grandmasters emerged!
In the world where some people live, the human race has established a country and occupied a place among various alien forces.

There are even people in the world where the human race can be called a "dominant" force, competing with the dragon race in the water and not losing out...

"That's enough... As long as external support can arrive in time, we can fight this calamity creature to the death!"

Gan Ning looked at Xu Shu with a questioning look on his face.

"I have full confidence in Kong Ming. As long as we spread the news... they will definitely take action. They may even be ready now..."

Xu Shu, dressed in white, looked like a scholar, but at this moment, he seemed to be emitting a sword energy that could pierce the sky! (End of this chapter)
