Chapter 1144: The Charteris Family
Sigma_ SSins
The ear-splitting howling wind came near. The gloomy bolts of lightning dashed over and reached the area immediately.
Audrey and the four members of the Imperial Dark Tribe appeared in front of Shi Yan and Cang Yun. Her cold and arrogant eyes raked through the two of them and stopped right at Cang Yun. She shouted, "Who are you?"
Flows of soul energy moved like the fine silk threads, slowly entangling Cang Yun and lingering around his body. She wanted to see even Cang Yun鈥檚 smallest secrets...
Shi Yan was so surprised so he also stared at Cang Yun too, his face uncertain.
Any energy fluctuation from Cang Yun was so normal. Since he was a descendant of the immemorial Heavenly Monster Tribe, he should have something different from the other races. However, Shi Yan could see that Cang Yun鈥檚 realm, aura, and God Body were 100% matched with Human Clan鈥檚!
He didn鈥檛 know how Cang Yun did it, but he could confirm that Audrey couldn鈥檛 see anything abnormal. She couldn鈥檛 verify Cang Yun鈥檚 real identity.
Indeed, after Audrey鈥檚 bright eyes had moved around for a while, she relaxed.
"I came from the other side," Cang Yun smiled, trying to be servile and pointing at the sea area behind him. "Harson of the Charteris family is in charge of that area. Before I came here... Harson had finished his big cleaning. Besides me, everybody else was killed."
Audrey鈥檚 face showed a gleam of fear. Both Shi Yan and she were vigilant to Cang Yun. The warrior who could escape Harson wasn鈥檛 weak.
Soon, Audrey had considered Cang Yun a character she shouldn鈥檛 neglect.
"How many people are there in Harson鈥檚 team? Did they get a significant loss too?" She contemplated then asked.
"Harson leads eighteen warriors. If you know about the Charteris family, you must know how crazy and ruthless they are." Cang Yun worriedly rubbed his fat face. "Harson鈥檚 troops are all mad men. They kill people for fun. The Charteris family of the God Clan is the most bloodthirsty one. Even among the families of the God Clan, they aren鈥檛 very likable."
The God Clan鈥檚 Charteris family was infamous. Their name was known everywhere in this vast universe. Among the twelve families of God Clan, this family ranked right behind the Bradley family. Members from this family were all extremely bloodthirsty. Also, they were the most combative family of God Clan.
This family was the key force in each battle that had terrorized the universe. And the originators of the bloody cases were also from this family.
When the Charterises invaded a life star, they would eradicate the native race. People couldn鈥檛 live in peace wherever they passed by. The Charteris family was known as the Cleaner of the God Clan or the Racial Terminator. This family was a malignant tumor of the cosmos, the worst nightmare of all.
They were a sharp bloody saber of the God Clan. They had invaded and slaughtered everywhere. People hated them, but they were also afraid of them.
This family had a lot of mad men. The family members and their key disciples loved to massacre others. Harson was a famous, young lunatic of the current generation. His brutal reputation made him even more well known than Haig. He was a tough character that no one wanted to encounter.
Hearing that Harson had finished cleaning the sea area and still had eighteen warriors in his team, Audrey鈥檚 willow-like brows furrowed. Her cold face now had a dark gleam.
The Charteris family wasn鈥檛 easy to counter. Harson was a mad dog. When they met him, it would result in someone鈥檚 death. If Haig could gather with the Charterises when they got to the forest territory, Audrey鈥檚 team wouldn鈥檛 escape death.
"I heard that Haig, Mia, and Phelps are on the other side of the barrier?" Little Fatty Cang Yun looked desperate. "Haig is coming. And that mad dog Harson is here too. I鈥檓 afraid that we can鈥檛 resist them."
He had deemed himself a member of this team.
Audrey didn鈥檛 mind his hidden meaning. Her long eyelashes batted as she was thinking.
Shi Yan, Cecilia, and Cang Yun didn鈥檛 say much. They were waiting for Audrey鈥檚 decision in silence. They understood that if they let Harson and Haig gather, it would be a lethal threat to them.
"The Center will open in any minute. Perhaps it will open tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Once we get to the Center, it鈥檚 possible that our team will be smashed." Audrey contemplated for a while, her cold eyes raking through her people. "Before the Center opens, the God Clan will move. They won鈥檛 give us more chances. Even if we can get to the Center, we will be smashed. The God Clan wants to terminate us. However, after we get into the Center, it would be very difficult to kill us all..."
Cang Yun, Shang Ying Yue, and Cecilia nodded. Apparently, they knew the situation so they agreed with Audrey.
Only Shi Yan was still surprised.
He came here in a rush and Shang Chen didn鈥檛 tell him many details. Clueless, he jumped into this place. He knew nothing about the Center.
When they got into the Center, they would be smashed again. Thus, everybody had to start over again. Then, he might encounter one or two warriors of God Clan and he might have a chance to kill them... So, it was good for him somehow.
Haig and Mia also knew this. Thus, they had to seize the chance when the Center hadn鈥檛 opened yet to clear the remaining opponents.
Only after killing all of them would the God Clan operate freely in the Center. They could go to harvest the most precious items and they could understand the mysteries of the ancient continent.
"We must seize the chance when Haig and Harson haven鈥檛 united yet. We must choose to break one team. We must try our best to deprive their powers. It would prevent them from attacking us successfully even if they could gather later!" Audrey decided quickly and said resolutely, "Haig, Mia, and Phelps are together. It鈥檚 not a wise move to engage in a battle with them now. We can鈥檛 take the upper hand. Thus... We鈥檙e going to Harson! Harson doesn鈥檛 have the Origin. Once we get to the sea territory, I can locate him. We have the advantage!"
Taking a deep breath, Audrey鈥檚 breasts heaved, "We must do it quickly!"
She didn鈥檛 seem to want to hear Shi Yan鈥檚 or Cang Yun鈥檚 opinions. She decided and then ordered the four members of the Imperial Dark Tribe. "Announce to them and ask them to gather quickly!"
The four members of the Imperial Dark Tribe bowed to her and then disappeared like dark beams of light. They vanished from people鈥檚 sights shortly.
"You lead us and break the barrier. Take the way you took to come here and lead us back there." Audrey ordered Cang Yun and didn鈥檛 give him a chance to protest.
Little Fatty smiled brightly and nodded continually. He seemed to know how to behave in this situation.
Shi Yan looked at him and put up his guard discreetly. He thought that this Little Fatty had brains. At this moment, as he was facing Audrey, a member of his mortal enemy tribe, he could be much flexible. This boy was a dangerous character.
Shadows drew nearer. The warriors of different races scattering around were summoned by the four experts of the Imperial Dark Tribe. They congregated as fast as they could. Not long after that, Mo Fou, Sha Zhao, Wu Feng, Jiao Shan, and the others also arrived. They looked at Shi Yan, their eyes asking for his opinions.
Shi Yan frowned, but he didn鈥檛 explain.
After they all gathered, Audrey said, "We鈥檙e going to the sea territory to counter Harson. We must seize the chance when Harson hasn鈥檛 joined Haig yet. We will try our best to drain Harson鈥檚 force!"
She didn鈥檛 explain clearly. Afterward, she shot Cang Yun a look and ordered him arrogantly, "Take us there."
Cang Yun laughed brightly. He nodded continually before starting to move like a fat squirrel weaving through thick woods. His flexible and agile moves made people gawk. His fat body moved swiftly in the air as if he had encountered no obstacle. Just like a big air bag, he flew quickly in through the air.
"Oh wow, we shouldn鈥檛 judge a book by its cover," said Cecilia in astonishment, her beautiful eyes flaring strangely.
"After him," ordered Audrey.
--------------------------
By the edge of the swamp territory in front of the toxic gas curtain, Haig suddenly shouted.
People looked at him cluelessly. They didn鈥檛 know why he suddenly screamed.
Haig was calm. When he found that Audrey was setting up a lot of barriers and restrictions on the other side of the barrier, he had ordered people not to go through there rashly.
He sat cross-legged in front of the toxic air masses, closing his eyes as he was immersed in his thoughts and trying to find a solution that could benefit them. He had let Mia and Phelps leave this place to lure Audrey.
Unfortunately, Audrey didn鈥檛 move. She just watched the area where she had installed the death traps and waited for him to take risks and come to her.
The two of them were playing the same chest match, but none of them dared to act recklessly. They had tried to maintain the original state.
When Haig found that he couldn鈥檛 wait for Audrey to bite his bait, he summoned Mia and Phelps to make a new plan. He was using his special ability of the Soul Consciousness to draw a map. Under his feet was an area where he pointed out the locations of barriers and restrictions behind the barrier. He had even given the descriptions of how the different Metal-Wood-Water-Fire-Earth restrictions work.
If they followed Haig鈥檚 direction to get through the barrier, they could avoid many dangerous traps. It would minimize their losses.
"Haig, what鈥檚 wrong?" Phelps looked a bit shaken. He was excited, indeed. "Have you checked it thoroughly? We will start now?"
"It鈥檚 not really clear. But we have to move now. Something has changed." Looking at the toxic air curtain, Haig said, "Those people left the barrier one hour ago. If they are not going to ambush us, they must have some new plan. We can鈥檛 linger here anymore."
"What change?" asked Mia.
"Perhaps they are heading to my ice territory or Harson鈥檚 territory. Once we get into that forest area, we will know where they鈥檙e heading. It鈥檚 troublesome. The Center is about to unseal. We don鈥檛 have much time. We must attack them quickly!" While talking, Haig walked to the toxic gas area.
He had proposed and planned this operation on the ancient continent. He wouldn鈥檛 allow any mistake, so he had to go there personally.
The water-like, thick toxic air started to dilute when he walked over there. A flame swayed and changed its color above Haig鈥檚 head, which was burning a large amount of toxic gas.
Boom!
An earth-shaking explosion arose and shook the entire swamp.
"Get in, all of you," Haig hissed, "follow me and don鈥檛 stay too far."
Then, he jumped through the barrier.
