Traveling to the future, the story with the orc king

The mysterious man faced Long Yan's palm wind without dodging or evading. Instead, he waved his hand and easily dissipated the palm wind into nothingness. Long Yan was shocked. This man was so powerful.

At this moment, Lin Ziyu, who had been observing the situation from the side, made a move. He rushed towards the mysterious man like a whirlwind, with a cold light flashing in his hand, revealing a sharp sword.

The mysterious man sensed Lin Ziyu's attack, dodged the sword's sharp edge by leaning sideways, and then kicked Lin Ziyu. Lin Ziyu twisted his body forcefully in mid-air, barely avoiding the fatal blow.

Long Yan took advantage of this moment to quickly form seals with his hands, muttering something. A blue light shone around him, and his strength rapidly increased. With a loud shout, he charged at the mysterious man, punching him with both fists. The mysterious man frowned slightly, sensing the power of Long Yan's attack, and crossed his arms to block it.

The collision created a tremendous force, shaking the surrounding trees. But the ground beneath the mysterious man's feet only sank slightly, clearly showing he was handling the situation with ease. Long Yan gritted his teeth, knowing this battle would be incredibly difficult.

At this moment, Long Yi, Long Shen, Long Si... Long Jiu, and the others, realizing the situation was amiss, threw themselves into the fierce battle without hesitation. The mysterious figure flashed and rose into the air. He gazed down at Long Yi and the others from above, a sneer of derision on his face. He spoke with a tone of profound contempt, "Hmph, you're nothing but a bunch of useless trash!" Then, he casually waved his crystal-clear jade flute.

With a wave of his arm, powerful forces surged from the jade flute, sweeping towards Long Si and the others like a raging wave. Facing such a ferocious attack, Long Yi, Long Shen, Long Si... Long Jiu and the others tried their best to resist, but ultimately they were unable to withstand this terrifying force. Only muffled thuds could be heard, and Long Yi and the others were like kites with their strings cut, being sent flying without resistance.

Seeing Long Yan injured, Lin Ziyu's fury instantly reached a fever pitch. He clenched his teeth, his eyes gleaming with rage. He took a deep breath and, without hesitation, poured all his spiritual energy into the longsword he gripped. In an instant, the once ordinary longsword began to emit a dazzling light and hum.

Lin Ziyu roared, his figure darting towards the mysterious figure like lightning. Simultaneously, the longsword in his hand slashed through the air in beautiful yet deadly arcs. In the blink of an eye, countless sword shadows conjured up, interweaving and combining to form a formidable sword formation that pierced the mysterious figure's body with overwhelming force.

With a dull thud, the mysterious man fell heavily to the ground like a kite with its string cut, raising a cloud of dust. At that moment, the nine-tailed fox, which had been lying quietly nearby, moved quickly and silently to the mysterious man's side like a ghost.

The nine-tailed fox's fur was as white as jade, with only the tip of its tail gleaming with a faint blue light. Its narrow eyes revealed a hint of cunning and coldness. It extended its sharp claws and ruthlessly plunged them into the mysterious man's abdomen. In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, a shocking sight.

The mysterious man opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief. His lips trembled as he squeezed out a few words with difficulty: "You...you dare..." However, before he could finish his words, the nine-tailed fox took out a round, glazed gold bead from his belly, then opened his mouth and spit out a ball of burning flames.

The flames glowed crimson, like a roaring dragon, instantly enveloping the mysterious man. The scorching heat distorted the surrounding air, and the mysterious man let out a shrill scream before being quickly engulfed by the flames. A moment later, he was reduced to a pile of ash, vanishing without a trace in the breeze.

The nine-tailed fox was surrounded by a shimmering light, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a handsome beastman. He was tall, with a delicate face, red hair fluttering in the wind, and nine furry tails swaying gently behind him.

His narrow, deep eyes fixed intently on Long Yan, Lin Ziyu, and the others, a hint of vigilance and curiosity in his gaze. After a moment's silence, he finally spoke slowly, "My name is Hu Youyou, and I'm Hu Xinyue's younger brother. The guy who just died was a guardian of the Beast Control Sect in the Blue Sea Secret Realm. I stumbled into the Blue Sea Secret Realm by accident and was captured by the Beast Control Sect shortly after entering. There are five major sects in the Blue Sea Secret Realm: the Beast Control Sect, the Gu Refining Sect, the Spirit Medicine Sect, the Weapon Refining Sect, and the Spirit Sword Sect. They captured many people, including those from the human race, the sea tribe, and the orcs. In order to come to us, they forced us to sign equal contracts."

As Long Yan listened, he thought about the message the Fox Clan leader had posted looking for his seventh son, Hu Youyou: "Searching for my son Hu Youyou. Provide clues, 5,000 gold coins. Find him, 500,000 gold coins." This message had been pinned to the top of the Orc quest hall for three years, yet no one had found him. And no one had seen Hu Youyou in the three years since. The orc across from him looked 70% similar to the Fox Clan leader, so how could it have taken three months?

Hu Youyou frowned slightly and continued, "According to my understanding, no less than a hundred people have arrived at where we are from this Blue Sea Secret Realm. These people have the same goal, and they all long to return to Earth." At this point, he couldn't help but sigh, as if he was quite worried about the current situation.

He added, "The most terrifying thing is that the people from the Gu Refining Sect have also come. Each of them can control tens of thousands of Gu worms. The Gu worms are big and small, and of all kinds. People who are infected by the Gu worms will obey their orders." Hu Youyou slowly told what he knew.

Long Yan waited until he finished speaking before speaking, "It is now the cold season of the year 1572 in the new calendar."

Hu Youyou was stunned for a moment. After a while, he opened his eyes wide and asked, "What did you say? What time is it now?"

"Now is the second month of the cold season of the new calendar year 1572." Long Yan repeated.

Hu Youyou gave a wry smile. He thought only three months had passed, but he didn't expect that three years had already passed.

After a long while, Hu Youyou finally mustered up the courage and asked cautiously in a trembling and weak voice: "Are...my parents okay now?" His beautiful eyes were filled with anxiety and uneasiness, as if he was afraid of hearing bad news.

Long Yan keenly sensed that the vitality in Hu Youyou was gradually fading. He couldn't help but frown slightly, secretly worried. Then, he turned to look at Lin Ziyu beside him. When their eyes met, Lin Ziyu immediately nodded in understanding, pulled out a crystal-clear pill that exuded a rich medicinal fragrance from his pocket, and handed it to Long Yan.

Long Yan quickly walked over to Hu Youyou and handed the precious pill to her, saying slowly, "This is the Vitality Pill. It can effectively help you restore the vitality that's gradually dissipating in your body. After taking it, I believe you'll feel better soon." After saying this, he paused briefly, then added, "Regarding your parents, the Fox Clan leader announced an important news three years ago. He has been searching for his lost son—that is, you, Hu Youyou. Anyone who can provide clues to your whereabouts will receive a reward of 5,000 gold coins. And if anyone successfully finds you and brings you back to the Fox Clan, there's a huge reward of 500,000 gold coins! Currently, the Fox Clan leader and other members of our clan are awaiting your return in our imperial city."

Hu Youyou gratefully extended his hand, took the pill from Long Yan, and swallowed it without hesitation. The pill melted in his throat, transforming into a warm current that quickly flowed through his body. He immediately felt his once weak body gradually regain strength, and his spirits lifted. He raised his head, looked at Long Yan in front of him, and sincerely thanked him, "Thank you..."
