Chapter 1176 - 1176 Who's the Prey?

1176 Who’s the Prey?

As the only safe place on Planet Ricardo now, every participant who entered Lone Star City came here to rest and adjust. Naturally, after entering the city, they would appear relaxed and not have to be in a tense state like outside.

Therefore, usually, the atmosphere in Lone Star City was usually relaxed and happy.

However, this time, as soon as Chu Nan entered the city, he discovered that everyone he encountered in the city was in a hurry and had nervous expressions. Those with companions were also chatting softly with them. There was no scene of loud laughter that could be seen everywhere.

It looked as if something major was about to happen.

Chu Nan looked around in confusion and wanted to pull someone over to ask, but as long as he sensed him approaching, the other party would always move aside warily, preventing him from asking.

After missing a few passers-by, Chu Nan could only shake his head and give up helplessly.

“Forget it, who cares if it’s anything serious? In any case, it’s none of my business.”

Chu Nan ignored the special abnormalities of the surrounding crowd and went straight to the reception center of Lone Star City.

He first checked the situation of the remaining participants as usual and discovered that the number of remaining participants in the Earth Federation had not changed.

From this, it could be seen that Feng Mingxi was not using the name of the Earth Federation to participate in the Garden Hunting Assembly.

Chu Nan was not surprised by this. From the fact that he had mixed with those strange fellows and even changed his cultivation method greatly, he could guess.

However, he did not know what this guy had experienced in the past year after leaving Star Cloud Academy to become like this.

After checking the situation of the remaining participants, Chu Nan made another request to the robot in charge of receiving them.

“Help me check if there’s a message for me?”

Preserving the message was also one of the functions of the reception center. It could be used as an officially recognized contact method. However, one point was needed to leave a message, so generally, no one used it.

“I’m inquiring for you…” The robot’s eyes flickered for a moment, “I’ve found two messages for you. Do you want to check?”

“Let it out.”

“Alright.”

When the robot opened its mouth, the voice it spat out was not the original mechanical voice, but a voice filled with vitality, crisp, and a trace of arrogance.

“Heh, Chu Nan, Viennelle and I have already spread the news. Just wait for our good news.”

It was Princess Romanti’s voice.

The robot paused for a moment and the voice it spat out changed to a much gentler and weaker voice.

“I’m sorry, Chu Nan. My sister and I have already asked many people, but we haven’t heard any news about her. However, I’ll continue to help you ask. Don’t worry, I believe you can definitely find her.”

This voice was naturally Princess Viennelle.

Before he broke up with the two of them, Chu Nan had once asked Princess Viennelle to help him inquire about that mysterious girl among the descendants of the royal family of the Declan Empire who were participating in the Garden Hunting Assembly. At that time, she agreed immediately, but he did not expect her to tell Princess Romanti about this and drag her down.

With Princess Romanti’s reputation among these descendants of the royal family, the effect of her appearing was clearly better than Princess Viennelle.

Chu Nan thought for a moment and left a message for Princess Viennelle and Princess Romanti in his name, indicating that he would come to Lone Star City every day. If there was any news, they would leave a message to inform him and he also thanked the two of them.

After doing this, there was no need for Chu Nan to continue staying in Lone Star City. He turned around and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the reception center, he heard a commotion outside. Many people shouted that they were fighting as they surged out of the city.

“Could it be that someone is fighting outside the city like last time?”

Chu Nan curiously followed the crowd out of the city. As soon as he walked out of the city gate, he heard a bang in the sky outside the city. He looked up and saw a figure suddenly fall from the sky. A moment later, he heavily smashed into the ground with a loud bang, causing the dust in front of him to fly.

“Watch carefully. This is the outcome of disobedience!” An arrogant voice sounded from the air.

Chu Nan raised his head and saw two figures floating in the sky. One of them looked familiar to him.

After thinking for a moment, he recalled that this person was one of the dozen or so people he had seen that night following Glurik.

However, what did he mean by “disobedience”?

“Since everyone is here, I’ll repeat it here.” That person seemed to be explaining the doubt in Chu Nan’s heart and said, “No matter who it is, as long as they want to be close to the royal family of the Declan Empire, they’re our enemies! This guy was actually seen secretly interacting with a prince of the Declan Empire. He’s courting death!”

As soon as he finished speaking, another person in the air immediately continued, “Everyone, we’re not deliberately targeting you. Please think carefully. The royal family of the Declan Empire held this Garden Hunting Assembly to let us martial artists from other countries play with their royal descendants. They’re using us as their sparring partners or even toys. Although the royal family of the Declan Empire makes it sound good that even those royal descendants might die in this Garden Hunting Assembly like us, according to the information we obtained, it’s actually not like this at all!”

“That’s right!” The person from before immediately echoed, “Not only did the royal family of the Declan Empire teach these descendants a special cultivation method that can allow them to easily escape in danger, they even arranged for a few Star-Grade Martial Artists to receive them so that they won’t die at all! As for us? From the first day of the Garden Hunting Assembly until now, how many of us from other countries have died? According to the data they publicized, there are already more than 4,000 people! Do you think this is fair?”

“It’s not fair! Of course, it’s not fair!” The other person immediately shouted, “On what basis do we have to face the threat of death alone, but those descendants of the royal family of the Declan Empire don’t? Although we’re not from the royal family like them, we’re also humans and super geniuses from all over the world! On what basis are our lives not as valuable as theirs? On what basis do we have to lose our lives for nothing for the royal family of the Declan Empire to train the descendants of the royal family?”

“Therefore, we should unite! Stop fighting each other and target those descendants of the royal family of the Declan Empire! We can’t just let ourselves become their prey, we have to let them become ours!”
