#312 - The girl's intoxicated eyes
Grass, a type of plant.
Just as Wang Ji Xuan had Mudan connect the communication, a close-up of a huge Blade Beast's maw popped up on the projection screen;
That visual impact of circles of sharp teeth paired with green flesh…
The Daoist and everyone present almost punched the air.
The Blade Beast retreated, and the maw finally moved away, revealing several men behind it.
Beast God Sect?
Just as the Daoist had this thought, one of the men suddenly spoke, stating his identity.
It was that kind of grating voice, like metal scraping.
Gari No.
"We meet again," the 'man' said in a low voice, "Black Storm, Wang Zheng."
The Daoist nodded with a smile.
Everyone had now come behind him, standing to the left and right, staring at the men appearing in the picture.
The background of the picture was no longer underground, but a rooftop covered with moss. In the distance, the city skyline could be seen, with collapsed high-rise buildings and patches of dense forest everywhere.
Wang Ji Xuan laughed and said, "You've actually managed to look presentable after putting on human skin. What are you trying to do?"
"We just don't want you to see our original appearance, so you won't mark us."
The Gari No who was speaking explained simply, then stared at Wang Ji Xuan with sincere eyes and a genuine expression:
"We have completed all the preliminary preparations for our revenge operation against you.
"Now, on behalf of our civilization, we formally issue a surrender request. We hope you can become our special advisor.
"If you can do that, we can shift from attacking humans to protecting them.
"After our joint calculations, you possess such value.
"If you are unwilling to submit to us, Black Storm Wang Zheng, we also offer an alternative solution.
"You no longer help human civilization, and you sever ties with the Spiritual Cultivator civilization. We will designate an area for your activities, and we will no longer attack you.
"If you refuse, our actions will begin immediately, at all costs, to eliminate you from this planet.
"Even if we subsequently suffer retaliation from the higher-level civilization behind you.
"You have already made our civilization precarious."
After Gari No finished speaking, the other 'men' nodded simultaneously.
Their gazes seemed to have the same frequency.
'They're coming for this poor Daoist?'
Wang Ji Xuan wasn't surprised by this.
The reason the Sixth Pillar was so easily dealt with was entirely due to his sudden whim to use unconventional methods, releasing hundreds of millions of wronged souls through the Gate of Hell, and then using these souls to attack the Sixth Pillar's own soul.
Behind this, of course, was the core reason that the Sixth Pillar thought its skin was thick and wasn't afraid of human firepower, leading to a solo advance and suffering heavy damage from the human side;
But Wang Ji Xuan had now become the Blade Beasts' 'bane of the Beast God' in their eyes.
Blade Beasts are different from Spiritual Cultivators.
They are more direct, more aggressive, and usually don't make empty threats.
In this kind of situation, the Daoist naturally couldn't show weakness:
"You can come at me. Although I don't know what preparations you've made.
"Actually, you didn't need to remind me through communication. This will make your actions more difficult."
Gari No pondered slightly and said simply, "This communication is also to let my companions directly feel the arrogance in your bones, and to dispel their thoughts of further negotiations with you… Only one of us can exist."
The Daoist smiled and said, "Why don't you tell me what you're going to do next."
Gari No frowned tightly.
A 'man' next to him spoke, also with that grating sound: "We will next…"
"Don't say it."
'Heavenly Dao' Gari No frowned at his companion next to him, admonishing, "There is no need to answer this kind of inquiry from humans."
The 'man' next to him explained: "I was considering that if we let them know our plan, but they are powerless to resist, then we will have more pleasure."
The other 'men' spoke one after another:
"This kind of pleasure is not practical. Tactics and strategies don't need to be told to the enemy, unless we just want to threaten them verbally."
"Blade Beasts don't need to use words to threaten, what the enemy needs to taste is our blade limbs."
"I think it's better to tell him, otherwise we will be very unchallenging."
"Human development is too fast. Although we have blocked their resources, they still have the strength to fight us head-on. We must take this opportunity to destroy the sharpness of humans."
"Solve the threat before the Beast Gods awaken."
Several 'men' seemed to have found the same frequency, and at the same time looked at Wang Ji Xuan, and said in unison:
"Solve the threat before the Beast Gods awaken."
Tzz.
The projection screen showed a snowflake, and the other party cut off the communication.
Wang Ji Xuan and the people beside him looked at each other.
Zheng Shiduo asked in a low voice: "Are these Blade Beasts' brains broken…"
"After all, we are not the same species," Dongfang Zhenghong reminded, "Don't take it lightly. The fact that more than one Gari No is showing traces at the same time may mean that Blade Beast groups around the world will act together."
"There were five just now," Wu Man said worriedly, "Although there were only images and sounds, I can feel that those are five Gari Nos."
Uncle Tai looked at Wang Ji Xuan worriedly.
"Then what do we do? Should we ask the Commander-in-Chief to mobilize the army over?"
"They're just coming for me this time."
Wang Ji Xuan stood up and said in a relaxed tone:
"Let's not be so rigid in our thinking. It's better to fight a guerrilla war than a defensive war. If it really doesn't work, I'll go to the Spirit Energy Capital to hide and lure the Blade Beasts over."
He was actually joking.
The Natural Faction and the Ruling Faction in the Spirit Energy Capital have already begun to jointly govern, and there are no more shelters there.
"Dismissed. Everyone, have a good rest and recharge your batteries.
"Mudan, come with me. I'll go discuss it with the Commander-in-Chief."
Half an hour later.
"No signs of large-scale Blade Beast activity have been detected yet."
Fu Jian said quickly in the video:
"But according to our understanding of Blade Beasts and the simulation calculations of supercomputers, they have an 85% or higher probability of retaliating against you.
"We can't be careless.
"The news that you are in Fortress 76 is not a secret. I suggest you transfer temporarily."
"Transfer?"
Wang Ji Xuan leaned back on the sofa and rubbed his eyebrows.
"Wouldn't that be like we're very afraid of them?"
"If a worldwide Blade Beast tide is launched at the same time, we will be exhausted by them 100%," Fu Jian shrugged, "We really have to be afraid of them."
"It's really troublesome."
Wang Ji Xuan pointed to the top of his head:
"Remember last time?
"Last time they put a mark on my head, a mark given by a King-level Blade Beast, and then the King-level Blade Beast started to attack underground.
"Will they replicate this tactic now?"
"In theory, no," Fu Jian said in a deep voice, "Now the firepower we have placed near Fortress 76 is far from what it was back then. Now, unless several King-level Blade Beasts cross our outer defense line and appear directly in Fortress 76, but we will definitely detect such a large-scale action."
"That's right, Blade Beasts can't just suddenly jump out…"
The Daoist suddenly asked:
"What about the Space Fortress? Has it detected any Blade Beast groups active in space?"
"Not yet."
Fu Jian said:
"Our analysis believes that only Pillar Blade Beasts can act in a space environment in cooperation with the Blade Beast tide.
"At this stage, all the Pillar Blade Beasts on Earth are dormant.
"The Ninth Pillar Blade Beast closest to us is currently less than 43% awake and is steadily declining."
Mudan reminded from the side: "The Blade Beasts regard the Chief as the bane of the Beast God. They may use the power of all non-Pillar Blade Beasts to try to eliminate the Chief."
"Yeah," Wang Ji Xuan also nodded a little, "The main thing now is that I don't know what the Blade Beasts' plan is."
"Hide."
Fu Jian reminded:
"Fortress 76 can be abandoned at any time.
"Don't worry about the residents there. If you transfer in time, the threat they face will be reduced instead."
Wang Ji Xuan asked: "Can the resources keep up? We just fought a battle with the Sixth Pillar."
"Don't worry about this," Fu Jian's smile was quite relaxed, "We saved a lot of resources in the last battle. If we can find an opportunity to continue to severely damage the Blade Beasts, our morale will be unprecedentedly boosted."
Mudan pointed to the door.
They were in Shen Qionglin's research institute on the third floor.
Zhou Zhengde was waiting outside the door with his hands behind his back, obviously here to find him.
"Your grandson is here, let's talk about this later."
Daoist Wang sighed:
"I've only been practicing peacefully for half a month. If I could have a year or two, that would be great.
"Notify Mudan if there's anything unusual. I'm ready to run away at any time."
Fu Jian wanted to encourage Wang Ji Xuan a few more words, but Mudan had already cut off the communication.
… …
Daoist Wang originally thought that Zhou Zhengde was here to communicate with him about emotional issues.
The newest and fastest novel is at 69shu.com!
Unexpectedly, Director Zhou brought some key information.
"Give you this."
Zhou Zhengde handed a stack of paper documents to Mudan, then slumped on the sofa, yawning weakly.
"I stayed up all night to get it out."
Wang Ji Xuan casually flicked a pill to him: "What are you busy with?"
"Thanks," Zhou Zhengde was no longer surprised by the pill, tilted his head and swallowed it, "Busy helping you with things… Ye Zi's whereabouts have been found, and some big news has been dug up."
"What big news?"
"A human trafficking group spanning nine comprehensive war zones."
Zhou Zhengde signaled to Mudan to read the information and gave a brief introduction:
"This human trafficking group has a hidden name, the Brotherhood."
"What do they do?"
"They are rooted in major scavenger camps, transporting suitable materials to the City of Psionics and its subordinate forces."
"Sounds familiar, doesn't it? The Blackfire Gang, the first enemies you encountered, were transporting materials from inside the fortress to the City of Psionics forces. This Brotherhood is in the scavenger camps, even more unscrupulous and arbitrary, supplying materials to the City of Psionics."
"In addition, we have also discovered that they are also involved in the business of the Thirteenth Institute of Biopharmaceuticals."
"Many large scavenger camps have pharmaceutical factories, where humans are treated like livestock. After being drained dry, they may even be made into medicine."
Wang Jixuan felt disgusted listening to this.
"The Yezi you've been looking for is now a mid-level manager in the Brotherhood."
Zhou Zhengde introduced:
"What do you think Yezi's identity information is?"
"What?"
"Kong Meilian."
"She's using the landlady's information?"
"Not only that, she claims to be a clone of Kong Meilian, with genes, memories, and thoughts derived from Kong Meilian. She is a product of biological experiments."
Zhou Zhengde shrugged:
"These are all based on what the Brotherhood executives we captured said."
"The Brotherhood adopts a decentralized management system."
"The young boys and girls who appeared at the Snow Mountain Base should have been sold off by Yezi."
Wang Jixuan shook his head and said, "I'm not interested in how many sins they committed. Did you kill her?"
"No, but our people saw Yezi, almost brushing past her."
Zhou Zhengde said quickly:
"She was wearing a neat white dress, like a lotus flower blooming in those dirty environments."
"However, our people only had a small team at the time. Yezi, with a group of armed men, boarded a transport plane."
"According to our tracking and positioning of that transport plane…"
Mudan suddenly said, "It flew to the deep area of the Bladebeast."
"Yes," Zhou Zhengde responded, "There must be a problem behind this. Our satellites are watching that transport plane, which landed near the dormant area of the Third Pillar."
Wang Jixuan immediately became interested.
"Does this Brotherhood have contact with the Bladebeast?"
"We used truth serum during the interrogation. That Brotherhood member said everything they could and couldn't say."
Zhou Zhengde shook his head:
"The Brotherhood is just a framework. The higher-ups don't know the specifics of what the local leaders are doing."
"That transport plane had a large amount of material. This is the only confirmed news because our spies saw it with their own eyes."
Daoist Wang leaned back and pondered on the sofa.
Can Bladebeasts create psionicists?
Are they going to use the Beast God Sect's psionicist model?
Also, who exactly is this Yezi? She's clearly just a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl. Why can she easily subdue so many desperadoes?
Normally speaking, a weak girl, even if she's fierce and morbid, would be treated as goods;
This is determined by the upper limit of power.
Unless, she's been hiding an even bigger secret.
Zhou Zhengde asked, "Should we drop a bunker-buster nuclear bomb on that marked point and see what happens?"
"Let's try it," Wang Jixuan said. "The Bladebeast is also collecting humans suitable for psionic experiments. We still need to be vigilant about this. Mudan, share the information with Old Fu."
"Okay."
The Daoist stared at the ceiling, and scenes of getting along with those children in the wooden house flashed before his eyes.
Who exactly was he living under the same roof with back then?
… …
Almost at the same time.
At the coordinates provided by Zhou Zhengde, in a huge underground cavity.
The thick green cocoons hanging on the stone walls flickered with a faint green light, which also gave some light to this place for the time being.
In the very center of this cavity, in an open-plan room covered with exquisite carpets and furnished with human furniture, a girl in a white dress was sitting on a chair, constantly sipping the tea in her cup.
A 'man' wearing human skin slowly walked over. This man took off the human skin, restored to Garino's original appearance, and sat down in front of the girl.
"Old friend," Garino greeted in a language different from human civilization, "You're still alive."
"The smell here gives me a headache."
The girl said in human language:
"You're going to target the Black Storm, aren't you?"
"Yes."
"For the sake of your friendship with me, can you let him go?" The girl stared at Garino calmly, "He is my prey."
"This is not my decision, but a decision we made after discussion."
"Alright then," the girl sighed softly, "Then can I ask you to capture him and hand him over to me?"
This Garino asked, "The reward is?"
"If it weren't for our help, you would still be emotionless tools."
Garino shook his head: "You are very fragile now, a mere human."
The girl said, "Name your conditions."
"The key to entering the ancient civilization," Garino said in a deep voice, "Although we do not covet the power there, we do not want the Spiritual Cultivators to make a comeback. We want to destroy that place, and by the way, destroy the barrier that envelops this planet."
The girl quietly drank tea, shaking her head with regret.
"That's my last bargaining chip. You're asking for too much. How about I give you some technology…"
She looked up at the cocoons everywhere, with human figures inside, the crystal cores in the abdomens of the figures constantly glowing.
"Your pseudo-spiritual slave plan has a fatal flaw. With just a small improvement, they can be put into use."
"Deal. We will take action tomorrow. The first step is to attack that Beast God and lure the Black Storm to show itself."
"I like doing business with you. It's always so direct. Now I hope you take action quickly. I'm already impatient."
The girl put down her teacup, a bit of intoxication revealed in her eyes, constantly murmuring.
"I was only a little bit away from being able to leave that fortress with him. Just that little bit.
"He exudes charm… I couldn't help myself the first time I saw him…"
Garino's mouthpart membrane frowned slightly.
It hates excessive emotions.
