I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early-Chapter 329 - 250: Meeting the Empire Survivor_2
He had never seen such a look of despair on the face of an infant who knew nothing.
Many children simply didn’t move, just lying on the ground, staring blankly.
Perhaps they understood that no matter how much they cried, no one would pay attention to them.
Lu Yuan trembled all over, and he was nearly steaming with anger, his teeth chattering loudly.
[Mr. Lu...don’t be nervous.] Conch emitted a mental fluctuation.
A cool feeling poured into his mind, calming the enraged Lu Yuan slightly.
"You didn’t see that scene, did you?"
[I did not see... I am just calming you now... I will not look at other scenes.]
"Yeah, don’t look."
Lu Yuan clenched his fists.
The cruelty of civilization’s extinction was fully displayed in that instant.
Old Cat also sighed coldly, "Old Lu, you can’t linger here too long... With so many children, how can you manage?"
"Kill the culprits, then send people to rescue."
Lu Yuan whispered, "I’m worried they’re starving... They’re still so small, how long can they last? They haven’t eaten all day yesterday."
Suddenly, Lu Yuan’s ears twitched as he heard footsteps again.
He immediately activated Different Space, protecting himself.
He saw a "peasant woman," leading a cow coming from afar.
Lu Yuan couldn’t tell if she was a monster or a human.
"Could this cow be used to feed these infants?"
Just as the peasant woman rounded the corner, several strong men suddenly jumped out from behind a wall!
Their bodies glowing red, they swiftly attacked with machetes, savagely killing the peasant woman!
Well, the peasant woman was indeed a monster, her human skin split open, and she was hacked to death before she could even scream.
Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes, a thought crossing his mind.
These men wielding weapons...
Were skilled!
Based on the personal attributes shown just now, they were almost comparable to Lu Yuan.
They might have reached the Extraordinary Spark, Level Four, or even Level Five!
That is to say, they were the legendary Great Innate Masters.
This might be the Empire’s remaining elite forces.
The leader, with a fierce expression, said, "Stay alert, don’t let those monsters sneak attack."
"Yes!"
The others whispered quietly, "Those monsters, all went to attack that city that fell from the sky... no one knows what that city is actually about."
"Our place is empty of troops, hence, there aren’t so many Painted Skins here."
"Big brother! Just ahead is the breeding ground I found! Inside..."
The men with a "snap," pushed open the gate.
Seeing the courtyard full of infants, each lying in a cesspit, they too were deeply moved, their faces showing sorrow as their eyes immediately reddened.

There was nothing more like hell on earth than this.
"What can we do now?"
"Bring that cow over here! I will feed them!"
The children’s crying suddenly grew louder.
These purest, thoughtless beings seemed able to recognize kindness and malice.
It seemed they also knew that these people who suddenly rushed in were there to rescue them, and they cried desperately.
The infants’ wails, like nails, hammered into their hearts one after another!
Those with higher conscience found themselves more likely to break down psychologically in such scenes.
But what could they do? Society had collapsed, there were few living people left, what could they possibly do?
Several of them were almost wailing, "Big brother, let’s take these children and flee far! There are hardly any living people left in the Mandala Empire. Once those monsters return, we won’t even have a chance to escape with them."
"But with so many people... how many can we take with us? What about the rest?"
The leader, named Jin Liangzhu, a Level Six Innate Grandmaster of Extraordinary Level, felt powerless.
His eyes bloodshot, he looked up to the sky and sighed, "Oh God, why!"
...
Lu Yuan patiently observed for a while, these robust men who had suddenly appeared seemed to be survivors of the Mandala Empire, which made him sigh internally.
He dismissed the Different Space, wanting to chat with the group.
The next second, several thoughts locked onto him.
These people were very cautious, and in just a split second, the five of them retreated to a considerable distance,
Because the Painted Skin possessed spiritual power, once afflicted, the consequences were unimaginable.
They used some method to condense their voices into threads, which carried far.
"Who?"
Lu Yuan hid behind a wall: "Conch, help with telepathy, pass on the message."
[Okay.]
"I am the supreme leader of the 18th human civilization, Lu Yuan, we are battling the monster ’Painted Skin.’
"I came here intending to kill the ringleader."
"Do you have any relevant information?"
The leader, still not completely trusting, said, "Stand at the door, let us look at you."
Lu Yuan, bold and confident in his abilities, stood at the threshold.
Seeing so many children, he sighed deeply, took off his Donkey Head Mask, and sent a command to the "Sky Fortress" to descend.
Seeing Lu Yuan’s unusual attire, the group was puzzled.
One of them, a glint of recognition in his eye, whispered, "Big brother, I identified him, he’s really a human... something like a Demon Hunter, Monster Slayer, quite fierce."
Everyone visibly relaxed.
Jin Dongliang exclaimed, "You can’t win! Just last night, four Innate Grandmasters teamed up to assassinate that monster and all died without even seeing it; it’s a true demon, humans can’t win!"
This voice carried a tone of despair.
"You only need to tell me the information," Lu Yuan said expressionlessly, "I am much stronger than you."
"How much stronger?"
"I could kill all of you in one second."
The group fell silent, under normal circumstances, they would have been furious.
As well-known masters around the world, they were all respected figures.
To say that one could kill the five of them in one second was utter nonsense, a slap in the face!
But now, as they faced the challenge of fighting that terrifying monster, they found themselves speechless for the moment.
[Mr. Lu, you’re quite the show-off...] Conch, who had been transmitting from a distance, was almost at a loss for words.
"These past few years have indeed been comfortable, haven’t fought monsters for a long time. Back in my youth, my track record was genuinely hard-earned," Lu Yuan couldn’t help boasting, "you just don’t know it."
"You can identify my titles if you’d like."
Indeed, as long as he wished, his titles could be identified.
Just like the series of titles owned by Great Warrior Cat Mama, exchanging titles might become a common etiquette in the future.
[There really are, impressive~] Conch, ever the sycophant, began to suck up.
After thinking for quite a while, the other side replied, "The monster’s main body is in the Royal Tomb, you will see a bronze coffin, no one can get near it."
"Specific information... I’m sorry, nobody knows what’s inside the coffin... it might be the Emperor of the Empire."
"This disaster was brewed by the royal family," Jin Dongliang said, "There has always been this saying, the Emperor pursued immortality, never died, and secretly controlled the entire Empire."
"In the past thousand years, there have been several large-scale rebellions, all brutally suppressed by a mysterious and powerful being."
"Overnight, tens of thousands of soldiers, turned to dust."
Lu Yuan frowned: "How long has the Mandala Empire lasted?"
"Not sure... possibly tens of thousands of years now, the Empire has burnt books many times, a lot of history is lost, only some stories remain, passed down orally."
In the Extraordinary World, the lifespan of the powerful is long, and social strata are severely stratified.
But a dynasty lasting tens of thousands of years, how corrupt must it have become?
