Chapter 471: Barbarians

At the top of a lush mountain.

A rift suddenly opened in the sky, spitting out a human figure.

Bomb!

The figure crashed heavily into the ground. Causing dust to rise up.

“d.a.m.n it, why didn’t it just open like a s.p.a.ce tunnel usually does?” An enraged small voice said.

“Stop complaining, it’s not like you’re the one who slammed into the ground,” Another voice said from the dust.

The dust soon settled, and Grey and Void could be seen.

Grey used the wind element to push the dust from his body before he looked around.

“Hmm, a mountain,” He muttered.

“Wow! The essence here is amazing!” Void exclaimed, attracting Grey’s attention.

Grey sent out his spiritual senses, and on sensing the intensity of the elemental essence here, he couldn’t help but gasp.

It was even higher than that of the trail land, although, they didn’t go deep into the trail land so they can’t be sure the highest intensity of the essence there. But from what they experienced there, the essence here was higher.

“Hmm, we’ll have to find a way to ask around to know where we are. According to what Ellis said, this place is divided into five continents, since I’m searching for him, then I should be heading to where he’s located, from what he said, he lives in the Southern Continent. Once I find out which continent I appear in, then I can start searching for him,” Grey said to Void as he started descending down the mountain.

Since he didn’t know anything about this place, he wanted to make sure he didn’t put himself in any trouble.

Fifteen minutes later.

Grey and Void were already at the base of the mountain, staring at the road ahead of them. They still haven’t seen anybody yet, so they have to continue walking.

Void was staring around with curiosity while Grey on the other hand was staring around vigilantly. Unlike Void, he wasn’t so carefree in a foreign place.

It was almost sunset by the time they came out of the s.p.a.ce tunnel, by the time they got to the base of the mountain, the sun had already set.

“We should hurry up, it wouldn’t be nice if it gets dark when we don’t even know where we are,” Grey increased his speed.

He couldn’t afford to take any chances in this new place. The only thing he found strange was that other than some small beasts, he hadn’t encountered any magical beasts. This wasn’t a bad thing though since it meant they weren’t in any danger, but there’s also the possibility of this place being the territory of a terrifying beast.

Given the intensity of the essence here, there’s no way the magical beast wouldn’t be in the Overlord Plane, it’s most likely going to be higher.

Void wasn’t the least bit bothered by this, he was carefreely looking around, hoping to see something that might be able to catch his eyes.

After walking for a few minutes, they started hearing voices of people. This brightened the mood of Grey since it meant he would finally be able to find out where he is.

“Be careful, I can sense a strange energy coming from that direction,” Void spoke up as they got closer to the place.

Grey increased his vigilance on hearing this. Void wouldn’t carelessly warn him if his senses weren’t correct. His mood once again took a turn, and he almost wanted to wish he didn’t encounter this particular set of people.

He concealed his aura with the help of Void before they walked closer to the direction of where the sound was coming from.

….

“Haha! This barbarians are so stupid, they will believe whatever they are told,” A hearty laughter rang out from a camp which a fire lit in the middle.

“Of course, what else do you expect from them? We’ll be able to make some money once we sell them to the arena,” Another man said.

In the camp, there were seven people sitting around the fire, drinking wine while wolfing down the meat of a boar. Beside them, there were three cages that were around four meters high and eight meters long. There were people in all of them.

These people were covered with beast skin clothes, unlike what the people who were sitting by the camp were wearing.

They all had fiery eyes, ready to attack at any time. A collar was around their neck, seemingly impossible for them to remove.

“I’ll kill you all!” A large man inside the cave said angrily.

“Haha, how? Although you people are strong, but with that collar on your necks, there’s no way you can manipulate your elements,” One of the men sitting by the side said with a laugh.

The large man tried to remove the collar from his neck, but as soon as his hand got to it, it released a sparkling lightning attack that not only shocked his hands, but also his entire body.

“Ah…”

The pained screams of the man rang out, followed by the smell of charred skin.

“Haha, morons,”

The group of seven were thrown into a fit of laughter when they saw this. One could see the joy on their faces as they watched the man being electrocuted by the collar.

“Whoever created this collar must be a devious person,” One of the men said while picking out a collar from his bag.

These collars were created to block the flow of elemental energy in the body of an Elementalist, stopping them from being able to use their elemental powers. Without their elemental powers, an Elementalist is no different from an ordinary person.

There is also a defensive array placed on the collar that would let out a series of lightning that would shock the person wearing the collar. This way, it was almost impossible to take it off once it had been placed on someone.

….

Grey and Void watched on from the side as the man was shocked by the collar.

“What’s that?” He muttered curiously.
