Degrade from Nobility to a Humble Slave novel Chapter 4245

The green lines on the huge square zigzagged, like a huge rune array.

Geoffrey cautiously followed Elder Xue on the path as wide as his shoulders.

If he so much as crossed this green line, he'd instantly die. Geoffrey took every step with care, vigilantly eyeing the green lines before him.

The chimney was located in the center of the huge square. It was roughly around ten thousand feet away, but because of the zigzagging path, it was as though they'd walked hundreds of thousands of feet.

The other races also sent out their representatives at the same time, so there were more than ten people walking on the huge square. Sometimes, when they got close to each other, Geoffrey could feel a hint of hostility in their eyes.

After all, this was a competition of sorts. It was only natural that the six great races were hostile to each other. It was just because of the special nature of the region that they were not allowed to fight each other head on.

Ten minutes later, Geoffrey and his group finally arrived at the foot of the chimney.

Although Elder Xue had been here for countless years, it was the first time for him to observe the chimney up close.

From afar, the chimney looked like a looming black monster, but now as he observed it closely, he saw it differently.

Squinting, he realized the chimney was made of pure black metal, glistening under the sun.

Elder Xue walked towards the outer wall of the chimney and pressed his hand against it gently.

He had been thinking about the mysteries of the chimney for so long. Now that he was finally in front of it, he had mixed feelings.

Just then, he heard someone chuckling from behind him.

Three black apes approached from another path. The black ape in the lead said with a smile, "The Elemental race is usually so cautious, but they sent five people this time. Four members of their race already died a few days ago. So, is it only Elder Xue remaining in their camp now?"

"There is a human spirit among them. Is he the helper that Elder Xue found?"

"Last time, one of us saw this human spirit."

These black apes who were talking amongst themselves were from the Cold Ape race.

Among the six great races in the Deep Space, the Elemental race was the weakest. The only reason why they were able to rise to prominence was that Elder Xue had taken action before the intelligence of other five races was fully developed. And that was also the reason why the other races had always looked down upon the Elemental race.

In the past, several races had sent killers to assassinate Elder Xue, but the members of the Elemental race had risked their lives to protect him.

"Elder Xue doesn't stay in the camp. I'm Elder Xue," replied Elder Xue calmly.

The three Cold Apes were obviously stunned for a moment, and the one in the lead showed a puzzled expression. "Everyone knows that you are the greatest help to the Elemental race," he said slowly. "Why are you risking your life today? Have you found a way to crack the Levitation Tower?"

Elder Xue wasn't surprised at their reaction. It was a well-known fact that he was extremely important to the Elemental race, so it didn't make sense for him to go out in the field like this.

The Elemental race would do everything in their power to protect Elder Xue, even at the cost of their leader's life.

"No," answered Elder Xue honestly.

"Then why do you come here?" the Cold Ape asked, his confusion intensifying.

Once they entered the huge square, there was no turning around. Elder Xue would definitely not be able to make it back.

Elder Xue just smiled and ignored the Cold Ape's question.

Just then, another race came in from the other side of the chimney. It was the Wrona race.

The Cold Ape race and the Wrona race were allies. They had always been on good terms. Seeing their allies enter the chimney, the Cold Ape immediately announced, "Look, Elder Xue of the Elemental race has come personally!"
