Chapter 3342: Untitled
From the beginning, when she heard the concept of ‘World of Bloody Demon’ from the bards, Theresa had felt uncomfortable.
The so-called harsh environment, the barrenness of natural resources, and the lack of sunlight were two contradictory concepts.
Since the environment was harsh and the resources were barren, how could it support a large population, produce a developed civilization and a strong army, and threaten the safety of the human world?
It was true that, in the early years of the civilization of many planets, strong nomads had been born in the barren grasslands and deserts and threatened the safety of the farming civilization.
But that was a phenomenon unique to the era of cold weapons. Besides, the nomads were not entirely barren.
At least in regard to the most important strategic resource, the ‘horse’, the nomads had the absolute advantage over the farming civilization.
However, the Cultivation civilization and the magical civilization that developed techniques and magic had passed the cold weapon stage and entered the new era of long-range hot weapons.
No matter how brutal the so-called devils were, and no matter how high their fighting will was, they would be burnt to ash under the bombardment of the saturated magical equipment.
When a civilization reached this level, it was a competition of comprehensive national strength.
More precisely, the efficiency of resource collection and energy absorption.
In that regard, there was no reason that the Blood Demon Sector, which was always in darkness, could be better than the human world, which boasted a stable star.
Unless—
“The Blood Demon Sector was not naturally-produced but man-made. Part of the resources and technology of the Rogue Fleet of the Primeval Civilization from thousands of years ago are still intact. It makes sense now.
Theresa was deep in thought.
For example, her hometown, ‘War Valiant’, had ‘Red Spider Lily’, a city in the sky, as a source of supplies. That was why so many ferocious ‘sinners of the land’ had been raised and made a playground for the Immortal Cultivators.
It was also like the Heaven’s Origin Sector, Mr. Yao’s hometown. The Blood Demon Sector on the other side of the world was barren and short of resources, too. But the Blood Demon Sector was known as the ‘last kingdom of the demon race in the Pangu Universe’. It boasted a lot of knowledge about the Demon Beast Empire during the Great Dark Age of thirty thousand years ago. That was why it was able to support an iron-blood army that far exceeded the capacity of the environment in violation of economic common sense and productivity.
“This is getting more and more interesting. Let’s keep watching.”
Theresa took out a cigarette from her pocket.
It was a magical equipment that looked like a firecracker and a kaleidoscope.
It was like a signal flare, but it had much more content and could transmit information dozens of kilometers away.
Theresa held the tail of the smoke crystal and was about to open it.
Suddenly, she saw dazzling fireworks blossoming in the dome not far away.
“It’s Princess Summer!”
Magical crystal smoke signals were not as simple as signal bombs. They could be mixed with unique identification or simple information according to the input of the user, so that Theresa would immediately recognize that it was a distress signal sent by Princess Summer.
After getting along for a few days, she had a good impression of this kind but weak girl.
Watching the princess changing bit by bit in his hands, he had an inexplicable feeling.
It was like…
The thrill of stealing from Black Jack’s hands and the sense of accomplishment of raising a princess must be both.
It couldn’t be helped. Right now, she could only find the illusion that she was still a real man in Princess Summer.
“Princess Summer, hang in there. I’m coming!”
Theresa immediately ran toward the source of the smoke.
The two of them were not far away from each other. After a turn, Theresa heard Princess Summer’s exclamations and the roars of the demon beasts.
She saw Princess Summer fleeing in panic with a hill-like magical beast behind her.
This guy…
It looked like a boar that was wearing iron armor. Sharp spurs were growing out of the gaps of the armor. Bloodthirst was beaming out of its crimson eyes. A stinky smell was spurting out of its mouth and nostrils. Together with the colorful mist around it, it looked like the incarnation of a nightmare.
“It’s the mutated ‘Horned Boar’, ‘Sword Halberd Boar’!”
Theresa accelerated and lunged at Princess Summer. “Sister Summer, don’t run in a straight line. The guy is good at sprinting, but he does not like turning!”
“Teresa!”
Princess Summer had used up all her strength to dodge the attack of the Demonic Halberd Pig just now. She was merely holding on with her spiritual gas.
Seeing that Theresa had shown up, she was immediately relieved. Her energy and courage seemed to have been drained. She tripped over the humus and fell forward.
“Hooooo!”
The Demonic Halberd Pig stomped on the ground and dug two shallow pits in the humus. Then it jumped high like an oversized cannonball and crashed into Princess Summer.
“Don’t touch her. She is mine!”
Theresa raised her hand. One of the most basic ‘magic bullets’ was shot at the Demonic Halberd Pig, while she lunged at Princess Summer.
Pa!
The ball of light was smashing right between the eyes of the Demonic Halberd Pig, as if a small sun was rising in front of its retina.
Although the attack was not very powerful, it was enough to burn its retina and cause it to experience short-term pain, dizziness, and even blindness due to the serious deterioration of its retina due to the dark environment.
Even so, its momentum was too immense. Pushed by the inertia, it continued smashing at Princess Summer like a heavy hammer.
Princess Summer was too scared to move. She could only watch the enormous body of the Demonic Halberd Pig falling from the sky.
At the critical moment, Theresa lunged at her and rolled on the ground, barely dodging the attack of the Demonic Halberd Pig.
BOOM!
The Demonic Halberd Pig smashed so hard that the earth was shaking and the soil was splashing.
“Wu!”
Theresa gritted her teeth and grunted.
“T-Teresa!”
Princess Summer was both surprised and delighted. She was about to hug Theresa without caring about anything else, but when she saw the painful expression on the girl’s almost perfect face, her heart suddenly sank. She reached out and touched Theresa’s back, only to find that her skin was bleeding and her hands were bleeding.
They were too close to the Demonic Halberd Pig and were unable to completely escape.
Theresa helped Princess Summer resist the sharp thorns on the body of the Demonic Halberd Pig with her back, only to be scratched into a bloody mess herself.
“Teresa, I’m sorry. I—”
Princess Summer’s head was blank. Tears were rolling in her eyes. She stammered, “It’s my fault. You—”
“No need to apologize. We are companions. We agreed to fight side by side and protect each other.”
Theresa had suffered a hundred times more serious wounds in the evil land of her hometown. The pain was not enough to diminish the sharpness in her eyes.
She grinned and patted Princess Summer’s head. “If you really want to apologize, unsheathe your saber in this second!”
