Chapter 1614 Chapter 1435: Sleeping Beauty


    "How strange..."


    Alex circled the woman and couldn''t recall with any simr incidents after racking his brain.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    After some hard thinking, Alex resolutely gave up on the idea of wasting anymore of his brain cells. He lifted his head and gazed at everyone.


    "Apologies my lord."


    Upon hearing Alex''s question, two among his group pondered for a few moments before shaking their heads. They couldn''t be med. Even though they more or less knew the secrets on this continent, this ce was outside their territory, so it wasn''t surprising that they didn''t know any of them. In an instant, everyone was at a loss for words. Of course, they knew that the power in the mysterious woman was amazing. However, the fact that she didn''t have a spirit was the strangest phenomenon of all.


    They used their spiritual powers to analyze her body, but were shocked to discover that there wasn''t even a single remnant of spirit, not to mention an entire spirit. This was almost impossible because living beings could only grow with the fusion of the spirit and flesh. Even if one were dead, one''s spirit would leave a mark on one''s corpse. That was also why the Dali Kingdom was able to use undead spells to reawaken the dead and imprison their spirits inside their bodies. But now, this corpse seemed to bepletely separated from its spirit. She didn''t look like a living being, but more like a robot made to simte humans. ording to Erie''s analysis, it seemed like any spirits could enter and sessfully take control of this body.


    From a certain aspect, this body had apleteck of integrity and would refuse no one...


    "What a headache..."


    "What a headache..."


    Alex couldn''t help but let out a sigh at this fruitless result. If it weren''t for time-constraints, he would have returned to where the woman was discovered to search for clues.


    "Marybeth, get Z here. Ask him if he knows who that woman is.""


    Even though Alex felt like that primitive man wouldn''t possibly know too much, it was still worth a try.


    Upon hearing hismand, Marybeth nodded and went out of the tent. Shortly after, she led in the anxious Z, who wore a short hide. Alex didn''t leave this primitive man who was responsible for leading the way behind, but brought him along in their escape instead. Even though he felt incredibly tense to be brought to this unknown ce forcefully, he behaved calmly and didn''t scream like a hysterical madman.


    After Marybeth brought him inside the tent, she spoke to him in theirmonnguage. Upon hearing her question, he nodded in somewhat of a fluster before hurrying to the mysterious woman and sizing her


    up. His expression changed abruptly. He knelt on both knees and raised both arms as though he were worshiping her. Not only that, but he also mumbled under his breath.


    "What''s going on?"


    Alex wasn''t too surprised by Z''s behavior as primitive men seemed to always have the habit of worshiping strange presences. Along their way here, he had knelt down to worship several times whenever he witnessed the spells from Scarlett and the rest. That was why Alex wasn''t surprised by his abrupt reaction. On the other hand, he heaved a sigh of relief as it seemed like the man had some knowledge about what sort of existence that woman was. If not, he wouldn''t have acted so solemnly. He also wouldn''t worship things that he wasn''t aware of and might be even more cautious around it.


    Indeed, after some worshiping, Z stood to his feet, gesticting as he spoke to Marybeth. Even though the others couldn''t understand his ''nonsensical'' screams'', judging from his expression, they knew that they were discussing something important. At that moment,


    Marybeth''s calm expression turned peculiar. After Z finished expressing himself, Marybelle returned to her senses. She let out a rather awkward cough and turned to Alex and the others, who were looking at her in anticipation. After a few moments of hesitation, she spoke.


    "Erm... Overlord, he said... that woman grew from the ground."


    Pfft!


    Maggie, who was coincidentally drinking a mouthful of water, spurted out the liquid. She opened her eyes wide and stared nkly at the woman before her.


    "Grew from the ground? What does that even mean? So if I bury a ''little girl'' in spring, am I gonna have a bunch of ''little girls'' in autumn? Why doesn''t he say that she''s the First Primordial dragon who was born from a stone? I would rather buy that story! If she was really born from the ground, how about we bury her back and see if we yield any results?"


    "That is indeed what he said."


    Facing Maggie''s criticism, Marybeth spread her arms apart with a helpless expression. It was apparent that even though Marybeth also didn''t believe Z''s words too much, she conveyed his ''gibberish'' to everyone in full detail. It was due to this reason that Alex''s group received new information about this woman.


    "ording to Z, that woman seems to have appeared in one of the tribe territories a dozen years ago. The tribe found a white... crystal and discovered a human inside it. Back then, she was just a child. But as days passed, she grewrger inside the crystal and became what she is today. Of course, in their legend, this woman is possibly a savior of their tribe or something... though there isn''t any meaning behind it now."


    [This girl is definitely important as for what is her identity I''m still clueless about.) Silveria seemed frustrated not being able toe up with an answer.


    The others were racking their brains as well, trying to find an answer and it happened.


    "Ooo---!!"


    At that moment, an emergency siren sounded and threw everyone into confusion. Even though they set up security measures in the surroundings when setting camp, that was more like going through the motions. After all, there weren''t any worthy enemies in this in. With Marybeth around, Alex refused to believe that any creature would break through the defenses and stirr trouble with him. Due to this reason, the group was taken aback when they heard the siren. They left the tent immediately and headed to where the security was breached.


    Boom!


    The instant they stepped out of the tent, they heard a massive explosion and spotted a fierce battle ahead. The soldiers who were guarding the periphery were battling against a shadowy figure. But what surprised Alex was that the soldiers didn''t have the upper hand.


    That''s right. Even though the strength of these soldiers wasn''t as powerful as his Elites, they weren''t weaklings either. But even so, they failed to resist the intruder''s attack. He witnessed a fully-armored swordsman raising his sword and flourishing it at the enemy in a stunning de ray. But facing that attack, the shadowy figure turned around swiftly andshed out a long whip to strike the soldier away. Looking at this scene, Alex narrowed his eyes. At the next moment, he dashed ahead in a string of


    afterimages. Awhite sword appeared in his hand as he aimed straight at the target!


    As soon as Alexunched his attack, the shadowy figure seemed to detect his presence. He heard thesh of the whip and before he knew it, a long whip had emerged in front of him. The seemingly-conscious whip blocked off his retreat like a deadly viper. However, Alex wasn''t flustered at all. Instead, the sword in his hand shook and at the next moment, the sky was filled with sparkling stars that shed with the fluttering shadowy whip head-on.


    ng! ng! ng!


    The instant their attacks met, they swayed and took half a step back. At that moment, he heaved a long sigh of relief. He withdrew his sword and gazed helplessly at the smiley youngdy ahead, d entirely in a ck cloak. It was an acquaintance.
