My Hotel Is Famous All Over the World

Chapter 71

“Clan Leader, the various Divine Clans have dispatched personnel. Including the Feng Clan and Ji Clan, a total of three thousand individuals have been sent, each headed towards the six different armies. At the same time, members of the Dragon Clan and Soul Clan are also heading towards the spatial rift.”

Feng Ye looked at the replayed video on the large screen in front of him. The massive figure of a Stone Clan warrior could be seen effortlessly collapsing a mountain with a casual movement of his hand. Amidst flying rocks, a middle-aged man with silver hair was desperately dodging, and a massive Stone Clan warrior was relentlessly pursuing him with a stone hammer in hand. The man could only choose to evade under these seemingly random yet incredibly powerful attacks.

This was an image from decades ago of the Feng Clan’s battle against the Stone Clan. It was the appearance of these massive Stone Clan warriors, who even the Divine Clans couldn’t confront head-on, that caused the Divine Clans’ plan to exterminate the Stone Clan to fail. After all, the Divine Clans were no match for them! In the end, they had to compromise and just drove the Stone Clan to the desolate land near the spatial rift.

The expectation was that by establishing the spatial battlefield and continuously annihilating the Stone Clan, their numbers and strength would decrease over time. Eventually, it would become easier to exterminate them completely. However, who could have imagined that after years of consuming them within the spatial battlefield, the numbers of the Stone Clan not only hadn’t decreased, but had actually increased. Even now, before the appearance of the massive Stone Clan, the sheer numbers of the ordinary Stone Clan alone were overwhelming, and the six Divine Clans were struggling to hold their ground.

Three thousand Divine Clan members, five hundred for each supporting the six different armies. With the support of the Divine Clans at this level, even if the ordinary Stone Clan increased its numbers tenfold, it would still be unable to break through the defense line of five hundred Divine Clan members. But the worry was that the massive Stone Clan might appear.

Although the massive Stone Clan hadn’t appeared over the past few decades, it definitely existed. The only unknown was which army the massive Stone Clan might appear in.

Feng Ye instructed Lin, “Gather five hundred from each Divine Clan and be prepared at the entrance of the spatial rift.”

Lin nodded, “Understood.”

…..

The Stone Clan unexpectedly came to a halt. After moving at an agonizingly slow pace for two hours, the Stone Clan army, which was merely two kilometers away from them, stopped steadily. The two armies faced each other. The warriors behind Ji Lan held their weapons tightly, ready to charge out at a moment’s notice. On the other side, the Stone Clan warriors seemed like stone statues, not moving an inch, as if they hadn’t noticed the three thousand inhabitants of this world in front of them.

“Lord Ji Lan, what… what should we do?” The vice-commander furrowed his brow. These Stone Clan warriors were acting very strangely. Normally, they would rush at anyone they saw on the spatial battlefield, seeking either victory or death. But now, even with thousands of them facing the three thousand inhabitants, they had suddenly stopped, showing no reaction. Why?

Ji Lan was equally puzzled. Or perhaps she had never truly understood the Stone Clan’s motivations, the underlying reasons for their actions. They fought like savage creatures, yet occasionally displayed incredible coordination like they did now. Ji Lan had once thought of the Stone Clan as an ant colony with a queen controlling their actions. That’s why they would act on instinct yet display such high levels of coordination.

But now she doubted her speculation. Did a Stone Clan queen truly exist? Or was there only a queen? The superlative discipline exhibited by these Stone Clan warriors, surpassing even regular armies in uniformity, required a process of transmission for orders. However, they seemed to lack this process altogether. As soon as one warrior stopped, all the others stopped as well, showing an instantaneous execution of commands that made them seem less like a group and more like… individuals.

“Any news from the team heading towards the Orc Clan?” Ji Lan countered.

The vice-commander replied, “None. It’s strange. The teams sent out are all made up of extremely fast species. They should have returned by now, but they haven’t.”

Ji Lan pondered for a few seconds. “What about reinforcements?”

The vice-commander continued, “We’ve received word that reinforcements are on their way, but even considering the speed of the Divine Clans, they shouldn’t have taken two hours to arrive.”

“Furthermore,” the vice-commander hesitated, “some of the weaker warriors within the army have started showing symptoms of lacking spatial energy. If we don’t replenish their spatial energy soon, I’m afraid they won’t be able to hold on.”

“Retrieve the reserve supplements from the ship’s storage and distribute them to those in need,” Ji Lan stared firmly at the vice-commander. “I will lead a squad to investigate the situation immediately. You’ll be in charge here for the next two hours.”

The vice-commander’s expression changed. “My lord, the Stone Clan is right at our doorstep. If you leave… perhaps I should lead a team to investigate the situation!”

“No, you stay here. Judging by the Stone Clan’s behavior, I don’t think they will attack in the short term. I’ll try to be back as quickly as possible.” Ji Lan glanced again in the direction of the Stone Clan. “Without reinforcements, without food, if we stay here and waste time, when the Stone Clan starts attacking, our only outcome will be total annihilation.”

Indeed, the vice-commander took a deep breath, his gaze resolute. “My lord, go with confidence. I won’t disappoint your trust!”

“Very well!” Ji Lan turned and left the deck, selecting the team members to depart.

…..

“Brother, why do we feel like we’re getting more lost as we go? Is this the way to the Orc Clan?”

Behind Ye Meng, his massive eagle wings flapped, while Ye Xin remained vigilant on his other side. Ye Tong was flying at the front, and in the middle of their trio was the smallest of them, Ye Man. Bringing up the rear was a young pigeon clan member, possessing unique navigation skills.

Ye Tong came to a stop and looked back at the pigeon clan youth. “Xiao Ta, is this the right way?”

The pigeon clan youth struggled to sense his surroundings. After a moment, he had to admit, “I’m sorry, Captain. The magnetic fields here are too chaotic. I can’t sense anything.”

Hearing this, the faces of several individuals turned grim. They were carrying the responsibility of bringing back supplies for thousands of people, and now they were lost in the spatial rift!

It was like the most comical scene from a children’s play: getting lost at the most critical moment, and the most laughable part was that they were lost on a route that all five of them were very familiar with!

Whether it was the four siblings from the Ye family or the pigeon clan youth, all five of them had homes in the Orc Clan. They had traversed the path from the spatial battlefield to the Orc Clan numerous times, to the point where even Ye Tong, Ye Meng, and Ye Xin could find their way back to the Orc Clan with their eyes closed. But now, they were lost. It was absurd!

“Could the chaotic magnetic fields be caused by the Stone Clan?” Ye Man, who didn’t understand the Stone Clan, offered his speculation.

“We’ve never encountered this situation on the battlefield before, nor have we ever seen the Stone Clan possess this ability,” Ye Tong replied gravely.

The pigeon clan youth added from the side, “That’s right. I’ve spent five years on the spatial battlefield and have never witnessed the presence of the Stone Clan causing magnetic field disruptions.”

A silence fell among the five of them. After a while, Ye Tong spoke up, “Let’s keep searching for the way. Getting lost is a minor issue. The key is that many of our comrades are waiting for us to bring back supplies. Even if the magnetic fields are chaotic, we must find an exit!”

The five of them maintained their formation and continued to search for an exit within the spatial rift.

Half an hour later, they were completely disoriented. The pigeon clan youth was full of self-blame, “It’s all my fault. My abilities are subpar, and I’ve been completely useless.”

“It’s not your fault,” Ye Meng suddenly spoke, “no one could have predicted the changes in the spatial rift, and we all lost our direction.”

“Brother, should we return the way we came and tell the adults about this?” Ye Xin suggested.

Ye Tong nodded, it seemed that was the only option, but upon retracing their steps, they realized the path back was also wrong.

“How is this possible?! We clearly came from here just now, I remember there was a giant rock here!”

“I remember going in this direction too, why does it feel like we’re going further astray?”

The five of them stopped again, exchanged glances, and their hearts sank even further.

“Do you think the adults might encounter this situation too?” Ye Meng asked.

“…I don’t know, let’s hope not.”

“We can’t reach the Orc clan, and we can’t go back to our camp either. Are we going to be trapped here?” Ye Xin forced a bitter smile.

The spirits of several of them were extremely low. Faced with the sudden changes in the spatial rift, they were completely powerless. They were not gods, and in a few more hours, their spatial powers would be depleted, and death awaited them.

“Uh, well, what if we don’t go back to the giant ship or the Orc clan?” Ye Man scratched his head, and it seemed like his blue-tinted hair emitted a faint glow in the spatial rift.

The other four all turned to look at him simultaneously, and their expressions were unusually consistent, all conveying the same message: if we don’t go to these two places, where else can we go?

Ye Man swallowed and said, “Let’s go… to the Three Thousand Food House, to my boss.”

That’s right! The four suddenly realized that if there was any safe place in the spatial rift, it had to be the Three Thousand Food House. Moreover, the Three Thousand Food House was a place where they could replenish their spatial power and spiritual energy!

“The Three Thousand Food House is indeed a good place, but Xiao Man, doesn’t that mean we’re still trying to go to the Orc clan or back to our camp? We can’t find our way!”

Ye Man’s expression was somewhat strange as he pointed in a direction. “Can’t you see it?”

Ye Tong, Ye Meng, Ye Xin, and the young member of the Pigeon tribe all followed his gaze and shook their heads. “What’s there?”

Ye Man looked at them strangely and then back at the direction he was pointing. “That’s the Three Thousand Food House. The lights of the Three Thousand Food Hall have never gone out.”

…..

The curtain rolled up, and Bai Xianzhi put down the two little ones in his arms and asked loudly, “Who is it?”

A familiar voice sounded from outside the door. “Boss, it’s me!”

This was… Tu linlin!

Bai Xianzhi and Zhuo Long, and Wen Nuan exchanged glances, and they all saw astonishment in each other’s eyes. Didn’t he go back home? Why did he come back?

They quickly opened the door, and sure enough, it was Tu linlin outside. They hurriedly let him in, and Bai Xianzhi poured him a glass of water and asked, “Linlin, didn’t you go back to find your grandmother? Why did you come back?”

Tu linlin’s rabbit ears drooped in disappointment. He placed the pastry box he had already opened on the table and looked at everyone with a worried expression. “Yes, I was planning to go back, but as soon as I left the shop, I realized I was on the wrong path. I walked for a long time and still couldn’t find the Orc world. I went in circles and couldn’t find my way. My spatial power was running out, so I had to eat the pastries you gave me to recover and decided to come back. Fortunately, the Three Thousand Food House’s lights were still on, although it’s far away. Otherwise, I might not have been able to return.”

So, even the route outside was lost? How severe was the situation outside? What about the other employees who left earlier? What happened to them? Couldn’t they return either?

Bai Xianzhi stood at the door, and the pitch-black and desolate spatial rift outside seemed like the endless maw of an abyssal beast, with no certainty of life or death once you stepped in. He anxiously waited, but fortunately, some of his employees did return. These employees breathed a sigh of relief as soon as they entered the Three Thousand Food House, saying that they had gotten lost outside and couldn’t find their way back. They all expressed their gratitude for the pastries Bai Xianzhi had given them, as they had been able to sustain themselves in the spatial rift for several days with them. Bai Xianzhi relaxed a little upon seeing that some employees had returned but continued to wait. However, the remaining dozen or so employees still hadn’t appeared. Tu linlin was at the door, and, seeing his worried expression, reassured him, “Don’t worry, they were the first group to leave, so they might have already made it out. Plus, the pastries you gave us were generous in portion. I only ate one piece when I came back, so even if they can’t get out, they can rely on these pastries to survive for several days. I believe that in a few days, the spatial rift will return to normal, and the gods will find a solution.”

“Sigh, I hope so. I’m just worried that they might encounter the Stone Clan in the spatial rift. They’re not a strong warrior race, so it’s dangerous if they encounter the Stone Clan.”

Tu linlin also fell silent. Who could say for sure in this situation? All they could do was pray for the safety of those in the shop.
