Chapter 1864: 24.125 Sixth Violet Star - Suicide Attack Fail
The Beast God, Mo Minkong, could somehow guess the reactions of those from the opposite side of the call. Just seeing the bawling soldiers mixing with his group, he knew that the ones who died were most likely important people with good standing and reputation in the human race.
Mo Minkong spoke, "If it’s possible for the soldiers to return to your compound, do let them in. I won’t be coming in for now. I will wait for my mate and guard this location for a while."
[Thank you, Lord Beast God!]
After the call had ended, the bridge which was lifted from its original location had once again slowly gone down until it matches the height of the land from the other side. The soldiers were delighted to see the bridge, but no one made a move without moving. They are currently under the command of the Lord Beast God. Leaving without the permission of their leader would deem them demerits.
Mo Minkong knew about this rule and smiled seeing how these soldiers reacted. He saw them as obedient children and smiled.
He said, "Go ahead. You are now able to go home. You guys did well surviving until now."
"Thank you for saving us, Sir!" The soldiers knew that during the clean up in the west, the only reason none of them had died was because someone was killing the undead that sneaked up on them.
At first, they thought their beastmen comrades were secretly helping until they noticed that even the beastmen were under protection. The Beast God overlooking them would flick a stone to make an undead’s head explode and die on the spot. He was also training them while making sure they wouldn’t get bitten or scratched during the cleaning up task.
It can be said that the feeling of having someone’s protection in the battlefield made them happy. That was the first time they had done a clean up mission without much hard work and no danger at all.
"Alright. Go ahead. You can now return to your original group," said Mo Minkong.
The soldiers gave the beast god a salute before giving hugs and fist bumps to their beastmen comrades. Even though their team was temporary, those dangerous times they had spent together made them closer. In reality, the original relationship between the human race and the beastmen race was that of respect. Until that day happened and the equilibrium between the two races was broken.
After the soldiers bid their farewell, they started crossing the bridge while waving their hands at their beastmen friends.
Mo Minkong, who felt this scene was ridiculous, commented, "They are just going to the building. If there is another mission you might see each other again. What’s with such farewells as if you guys will never meet again."
The beastmen felt embarrassed as they truly thought they would not meet again. After all, with how the two races are supposed not to get along, there is no way to meet each other again after this disaster is resolved.
"Lord Beast God, not all humans are as bad as we used to think." A beastman asked.
Another beastman added, "Indeed, however, it is still better to keep a distance. If they become an enemy in the future, it will be hard to kill them once you get attached."
They kept waiting for the return of their Leader and stayed outside the military compound. Unexpectedly the one who had returned first is not Huzi, the leader of the beastmen race, but the demonic beast, Xie Yun and his master, Xie Hei. Upon their return, Xie Hei treated the Lord Beast God with respect. As a former Beast King, this is the Beast God they all revered and feared.

Back to the east region...
Those who were hiding in the underground basement had decreased compared to before. The Mercenary King was still unconscious and his vice captain was about to go crazy in sadness yet keep his mind rational. The undead king who was only creating undeads before had started moving. Moreover, it was going in their direction.
Because of this, the numbers of undead in the vicinity had greatly boomed as well. Both the mercenaries, and soldiers were looking at the vice captain. Aside from their Tower Master, only this young man is capable of giving them commands.
"Uncle Shu, you will need to use your plant type beast this time. Catch the Undead King off guard and drag him away from our current location." The young vice captain commanded.
This mercenary called Uncle Shu signed a contract with plant type beasts. It was capable of capturing and dragging anyone especially if it was done through ambush. He is also the oldest within the two groups combined. Even though he looks like a man in his fifties, he was actually in his seventies. This is a man who was rejuvenated by his plant type beast extending his lifespan. Now he is being asked to make the first sacrifice.
The young vice captain looked at their Uncle Shu. His eyes were bloodshot as if tears of blood were about to stream down from those eyes.
Uncle Shu smiled and pats their young vice captain’s head and said, "Never blame yourself. This is our choice."
The young vice captain bit his lower lips and slowly opened his mouth to speak. "Xiao Ji will teleport you directly behind the Undead King. After that, he would return and then... Please feel free to do as you wish!"
"Yosh! Brothers, this old man is going ahead! See you on the other side!" Uncle Shu said before he got teleported.
The young vice captain can only close his eyes and spread his senses. He wanted to see what would happen and what Uncle Shu would do after getting out. However, what he didn’t expect was for his Uncle Shu to be fearless. He commanded him to wrap himself to the undead and have him throw him far away from where the others are.
Of course, he had freed his beasts at the last moment after they followed his last command.
The Undead King is a young boy expressionless and cold. It can even speak and look intelligent. As is a human instead of an undead. If not for the fact that his skin was pale and bluish, crimson irises and black pupils. No one would think he is an undead.
"Human... This is... foolish. You can’t kill me like this." The undead king said.
Uncle Shu was stunned to hear this undead king’s voice. "Fuck! You can speak?! Of course, I know I can’t kill you. But... Getting you badly wounded enough should be enough! Explode!"
A huge explosion took place to where the Undead King and Uncle Shu were. A crater was left behind while a quarter of those undead nearby had also got affected by the explosion. However, the Undead King is still alive even after such an explosion. This explosive was enough to bring down a big building and turn a whole floor into ashes.
After the explosion,the undead king had lost half of its body but was still capable of standing even in one leg. He got badly affected by the explosion but his face remains composed as always. The undead king just looked at the pile of bodies that used to be what Uncle Shu is.
"I told you. It’s no use. You can’t kill me."
The undead king looked at the blood and controlled the undead nearby to come to him. He ate more than half of a few hundred then his missing limbs had regrown. It stopped eating its own kind after his body had returned to its normal shape. The young vice captain had witnessed the whole scene and now there is shock imprinted on his face.
Seeing that he had lost too much of his undead, the Undead King still chose to go towards that direction where the richest scent of life was being emitted. It attracted him so much.
At the Underground Basement,
The young vice captain ran to the side to puke but no one urged him to hurry. After all, even though they had witnessed and seen what death is, it still cannot be compared to the tragic scene of someone who you are close with or had a close relationship with.
This was actually the reason why he puked. He witnessed Uncle Shu exploding into a pool of blood and flesh. On the other hand, the undead king was indeed injured but he was still alive. Moreover, it had a way to heal himself though it was him eating his own kin.
After the young vice captain calmed down he returned to where the others were and told them what happened to Uncle Shu.
"Uncle Shu.... He is dead."
"He chose not to drag the undead king away and asked his beast to wrap the Undead King together and throw them far away from this basement."
"The bomb is not effective?" The maker of the bomb asked.
The young vice captain said, "I was only enough to make the Undead King lose a few limbs."
"If that’s the case, I have to make the bomb stronger," the bomb maker said as he went to the side to stay working at it.
