A King Summoner Travels Through the World of Ye Luoli

"You'd better run away quickly."

Just as Lu Zhaoran was trying to close her eyes and rest for a while, ignoring all the scrutinizing gazes and noisy arguments around her, a familiar voice rang in her ears.

It's the same girl from before.

"Which way to escape?"

Lu Zhaoran's unintentional remark stunned the girl.

Yes, which way should they escape to?

They are lowly humans, and survival is already difficult enough. Those who were captured and brought here to search for pearls must have offended the fairies.

People like them are doomed for life.

"What are you digging for here? Mining?"

Seeing that she didn't speak, Lu Zhaoran knew that the girl didn't know how to escape from here either. Seeing that they were digging and searching for something, she thought that they might have been captured and forced to work in the mines.

"It's not mining, it's finding pearls."

Looking for pearls?

Lu Zhaoran frowned.

Looking for pearls in the desert? That's insane!

"The foreman said that only those who find pearls here can leave; otherwise, they will have to stay in this desert digging for pearls for the rest of their lives."

After hearing this, Lu Zhaoran understood.

This is utter nonsense! It's nothing but forced labor, a deliberate and varied way of torturing people.

"Why were you brought here?"

Lu Zhaoran couldn't understand why these people, who didn't seem like heinous criminals, were being tortured like this.

Their bodies were almost entirely covered in scars, and they were all pitifully thin and bony. Their clothes were not just tattered, but practically barely covering their bodies. The wind and sand were so strong here that some of the larger sand grains mixed with the wind hurt them terribly.

"Last year, a fairy's palace was recruiting young girls, saying they wanted to train them to be dancers for the fairy's amusement. My mother sent my sister and me there..."

"I thought we might be able to get a stable job. I don't care if it's tiring or hard, as long as we can live well."

"But……"

As the girl spoke, her voice choked with emotion, and her bright eyes were filled with hatred.

"That place is not a celestial palace or holy temple at all; it's a man-eating demon's lair! They forced us to learn all sorts of dances that are beyond human limits, just to make the palace master smile."

"Many people were beaten to death because they couldn't do it."

“My sister…my sister…she’s different…she angered the elves, was caught high up and thrown off to her death.”

Lu Zhaoran listened silently to the girl's narration. At this moment, she finally realized that she had come to a place completely opposite to her original world. The few words were filled with bloodshed and cruelty, as if the scene was right before her eyes, sending chills down her spine. Every word was like a sharp knife, mercilessly piercing the listener's heart.

"how about you."

"Me? I'm not as courageous as my sister. I'm afraid of dying, so I knelt for a very, very long time, so long that I don't even know how long I knelt. When I opened my eyes again, I found myself thrown here."

Looking at the girl's lowered head and clenched hands, Lu Zhaoran realized that she didn't seem like someone who was afraid of death.

"Do you want revenge?"

"What good is it to think about it? When faced with the superhuman abilities of the fairies, no matter how much you hate them in reality, you can only feel a deep sense of powerlessness and despair."

These fairies seemed to be blessed by the heavens, possessing unparalleled talent and divine power. This was especially true of the great fairies who resided in palaces and held exalted positions! With just a thought, they could change the very landscape and alter the course of the world; how could humanity possibly contend with them?

Humans are laughable beings. They possess intelligence far superior to that of ordinary animals, yet they have celestial beings above them who are even more favored by the heavens. Perhaps humans are the most ridiculous existence in this world.

Lu Zhaoran listened to her words in silence. Perhaps because she had been holding it in for too long, she felt much more relaxed after speaking her mind.

"Human beings can also make mountains and rivers weep and the sun and moon grieve."

"Are you kidding me?"

The girl patted Lu Zhaoran's head, thinking that this madman dared to say anything nonsensical.

"I'm not lying to you, humans don't have any innate advantages. Their only advantage is their brains. The pressure of survival drives them to constantly use their brains, creating a civilization that is no less powerful than these innate abilities."

"impossible."

"Nothing is impossible. Even if something is impossible, you have to make it possible for me."

Lu Zhaoran didn't say anything more. She still said that even the impossible had to be made possible. After all, who knew when she could leave this hellish place? She didn't want to be enslaved, so she had to turn the impossible into the possible.

"call out!"

"Get away."

An arrow flew by, but Lu Zhaoran reacted quickly and pulled the girl away from it.

"Oh no! It's the monster soldiers. They must have been sent by the overseer to get revenge on you."

The girl looked at the hand Lu Zhaoran was holding, her eyes filled with a turbulent mix of emotions.

What if... What if...

"Wait, let's take a break at halftime."

"?"

The onlookers were stunned by these words, and even the spirits were bewildered. The spirits exchanged glances, their large eyes filled with incomprehension. Although they could understand human speech, they couldn't quite grasp the meaning of these words when put together.

The fight has already started, can it be stopped just like that?

It only lasts a few seconds. Who do you think you are, stopping it whenever you want?

After a moment of stunned silence, the monster squad continued their attack on them.

"Holy Shield."

After Lu Zhaoran summoned a shield to block the attack, she skillfully transformed the shield into a sharp sword. At this moment, she was still unable to summon the Shadow Sword; the sword in her hand was the original skin of Li Bai.

But it's more than enough to deal with these little monsters that can only shoot arrows.

Before long, she had trampled the little monsters under her feet.

Can you understand human speech?

"They can understand human speech, but because their rank is too low, they cannot speak human language."

The spirits wanted to nod, but they were lined up with their heads resting on the swords, so they didn't dare to move. Fortunately, the girl next to them was understanding... no, she was understanding of the spirits' intentions, and she answered for them.

"Since you can understand human speech, why didn't you listen just now?"

"Oh!"

The moment Lu Zhaoran's upper lip touched his lower lip, he crushed the head of a monster.

……

For a moment, the surroundings became completely silent.

I was terrified that my head would be the next one to explode.

At this moment, only the trembling voices of those few spirits stood out.

"Which ones are the supervisors?"

As soon as Lu Zhaoran shouted, the people around him backed away, and a few people became visible as they did so.

I don't know if they stepped forward on their own or if the so-called "criminals" deliberately pushed them out, but at a glance, all that was left were them.

These people were dressed and looked much better than the pearl diggers in the desert. They also had red ropes hanging from their arms, but the color was much lighter than the one she had provoked. Could it be that she had provoked a minor leader as soon as she arrived?

They also had a whip tucked into their waistbands, and some of the unhygienic whips were stained with blood.

It seems they've exploited people quite a bit.

"Hmm? One is missing."

It wasn't that Lu Zhaoran knew how many there were, but rather that the one she knew happened to be the one who was the fewest.

She looked around but couldn't find the guy who looked like a rooster from before.

"Here he is! Here he is! He's going to run away!"

A commotion quickly arose in the crowd, and soon someone spotted the overseer hiding behind the rock, trying to sneak away.

The people here probably hate them to the core. They've finally found someone who can deal with them, so how could they let a bastard get away?
