Chapter 985: Chapter 981: Betia
Ye Tian carried Shake, sprinting wildly through the jungle, finally exiting it.
However, since Ye Tian was not familiar with the geography of India at all, he had no idea where he was or which direction he should escape to.
For Ye Tian, the most urgent thing was to take the little boy Shake to a safe place, and then return to the sacred city of Varanasi.
After all, the main purpose of Ye Tian coming to India was to search for his wife Yun Xinyan. His two subordinates, Black Widow and Dracula, were also in Varanasi, and Ye Tian could not just leave them behind.
“Shake, where do you want to go? I’ll take you there, and then you can take care of yourself!”
Ye Tian instructed, and Shake immediately nodded.
“Benefactor, the place I want to go is Betia, where my aunt lives. I want to seek refuge with my aunt Aishwarya.”
“Betia? Aishwarya?”
Ye Tian was not familiar with these two names at all, so he looked at the scenery before him.
Although they had left the jungle, what lay ahead was barren, with no city, no lights, no roads… only the waters of the Ganges River flowing tumultuously.
Probably because it was too quiet, the sound of the Ganges water seemed particularly loud!
“Betia is a beautiful little city where my aunt lives! There are no invasions by the Divine Race there, and everyone lives in peace!”
Shake said dreamily, apparently yearning for the city of Betia.
Ye Tian no longer listened to Shake’s fantasies and directly asked, “So, Shake, how do we get to Betia? By train or by car?”
“Well…”
Ye Tian’s words put Shake in a difficult position, and a perplexed expression appeared on his face.
“Let’s take the car… because if it’s by train, there will be many searchers… But even if we take a car, it’s not going to be easy to sneak through… After all, with the Holy Mother’s festival approaching, the Divine Race will send many spies across the country…”
Shake said timidly, and Ye Tian then remembered that Shake was originally a sacrificial offering he had rescued!
A rescue of a sacred offering by others is a serious matter throughout India, and even the Divine Race’s guards were sent out, so it’s expected that many people all over India will be searching for Shake’s whereabouts.
So, for Shake, whether by train or car, it is quite dangerous, as he must face those minions of the Divine Race!
Although he longs for the city of Betia, Shake is very far from that city, too far to reach!
“Benefactor, you saved me, I am very grateful, so I will handle the rest myself, you don’t need to worry about me anymore.”
Probably realizing that he had caused trouble for Ye Tian, Shake immediately said, but even though he spoke confidently, Ye Tian could see the bitterness in his heart.
A young boy, but his face lacked the innocent smile of his age, only weariness and sadness, this situation made Ye Tian feel a chill…
“Kid, how could I possibly not care about you? It’s just that I’m not familiar with India’s geography, but if someone is guiding the way, no matter if it’s to the ends of the earth, I would take you there!”
Ye Tian declared firmly, then carried the little boy on his back.
“Benefactor… you…”
Shake was overwhelmed, but he didn’t resist because on Ye Tian’s back, Shake felt an unprecedented warmth.
“Tell me! Where is the city you long for?”
Ye Tian asked directly, and Shake did not hold back…
“My aunt told me that Betia is underneath the Northern Star, as long as you head towards the Northern Star, you can find it!”
“I see!”
Ye Tian smiled and then began to stride forward.
Although Shake’s description had many holes, Ye Tian clearly understood Betia’s location.
It should be in the northernmost position of India, bordering Nepal…
Since he knew the direction, Ye Tian no longer stuck to city roads and railways, only heading north.
Ye Tian’s Qinggong was quite formidable, not inferior to any transportation, so Shake, carried on Ye Tian’s back, suddenly felt like he was flying!
“So fast! So fast!! It’s unbelievably fast! I feel like I’m flying!”
Shake exclaimed with excitement, but in fact, this was not Ye Tian’s full speed.
Afraid that Shake could not adapt to his full speed, Ye Tian only used half his speed when moving, but this speed was already astonishing enough!
“So fast! It’s just too fast!”
The young boy, so youthful, has never experienced such speed and excitement.
Thus, during Ye Tian’s journey, Shake kept shouting continuously, making Ye Tian feel as if thousands of flies were buzzing around his ears, but he did not tell Shake to stop.
After all, the boy’s nature is such, and while he’s having fun, how could Ye Tian interrupt him?
Since they were only heading north, Ye Tian didn’t need to stick to roads or railways. On the contrary, he often chose secluded paths or places without roads to advance, which also prevented them from being noticed.
Yet even so, in the wilderness, some villagers caught sight of Ye Tian flying by. Never having seen such a spectacle, they were immediately astounded!
“Oh my! Someone is flying in the sky, am I dreaming?”
“Really flying in the sky! Is it a manifestation of the gods? Hurry, kneel and make a wish to them!”
“Quick, quick, quick! If blessed by the gods, we won’t have to suffer!”
…
Ye Tian and Shake both noticed the villagers’ actions below.
Shake couldn’t help but laugh, “Benefactor, they’re kneeling to us! They must think we’re from the Divine Race!”
Ye Tian also laughed in response, “Probably, but I don’t like Indians worshipping me!”
In truth, Ye Tian was very clear-minded.
These villagers knelt before him because they revered him like a god.
In a sense, it represents the ignorance and poverty of Indian people…
If not, how could these villagers from India worship every unusual thing they see without thinking?
Of course, Ye Tian wasn’t interested in those kneeling Indians at the moment. The urgent task was to take Shake to the city of Bettia that he yearned for.
Ye Tian did not know what kind of city Bettia was, but if it’s near the border, the claws of the Divine Race cannot reach here. Without the pressure of faith, people’s lives would be freer.
Departing from outside of Varanasi, heading to the northernmost Bettia in India, is just over four hundred kilometers away, and for Ye Tian, such a distance poses no difficulty.
Fearing Shake might not withstand the wind pressure during high-speed travel, Ye Tian didn’t go at full speed. Nevertheless, it only took him half a day to reach Bettia…
Upon arriving in Bettia, Ye Tian was calm and composed, not even a bead of sweat off him, indicating that four hundred kilometers was no challenge for him…
As a border city, Bettia is a small city, similar in size to Leiduo City where Ye Tian entered.
However, even for such a small city, its level of modernization is high. Compared to the ancient buildings and streets seen in the holy city of Varanasi, what Ye Tian saw in Bettia was a uniform sight of small western-style buildings, with cars parked beside them.
Thus, it’s evident that the living standard of people in Bettia is relatively high, reaching the level of mid-sized cities in other countries…
Though it’s not much, in a country like India, it is quite rare!
“Shake, is this Bettia?”
Ye Tian looked at the scenery of this small city and asked curiously.
“Yes!”
Shake nodded immediately, excitement gleaming in his eyes.
“This is it, my aunt lives in this city! This city is so beautiful that once I arrive, I’ll never forget it! Only in such a city can we Indians live in peace!”
As Shake spoke, he came to the streets of Bettia.
Despite being a sacrifice for the Divine Race, Shake appeared carefree in this city.
The people on the street saw Shake and just thought he was an ordinary little boy. Some nodded to him, some advised him to be careful and not fall, and some offered him delicious snacks…
Various people, yet none spoke harshly to Shake, let alone treated him cruelly!
Of course, even so, Ye Tian dared not be careless and carefully surveyed the surroundings.
Though this was already the border, it did not mean it was safe. After all, in the territory of India, the claws of the Divine Race might extend here.
So initially, Ye Tian was particularly cautious of his surroundings, but fortunately, around Shake, there were no police officers, soldiers, or martial arts experts.
Ye Tian didn’t sense any killing intent, indicating that the city was temporarily safe…
After hopping around on the street for a while, Shake approached, and Ye Tian stepped forward and said, “Shake, we’re not here to have fun, let’s quickly find your aunt so we can settle down!”
