Just as Wang Baole and the others were about to leave, a roar that seemed to have come from the depths of the underground suddenly erupted from the end of the catacombs.
The roar was deafening, causing everyone's hearts to tremble and blood to spurt from their mouths. Wang Baole's body shook violently, and the three balls of Dark Fire in his body almost became unstable and were about to be extinguished.
When he lowered his head, he seemed to vaguely see a large, distorted, translucent hand reaching out from the depths of the catacombs. It seemed to stretch endlessly and was about to grab Wang Baole!
"Dark Child …" The voice reverberated amidst the roar, scaring Wang Baole so much that his expression changed drastically. He roared angrily.
"Roar my ass!" Wang Baole felt like his scalp was about to explode. He and the others around him wanted to rush out of the catacombs in a frenzy, but they were still a little too late. The large hand was too fast. It had been far away just a moment ago, but in the next instant, it was less than a thousand feet away from Wang Baole!
Everywhere it passed, the walls of the catacombs were visibly frozen. Cracking sounds reverberated in the air. As the large hand approached, everything turned to ice.
It was getting closer and closer …
Wang Baole's breathing quickened. Just as he was about to recite the Dao Scripture to defend himself, a cold snort came from above their heads. Instantly, three figures leaped over the crowd like lightning and appeared directly behind them, right in front of the giant hand that was about to grab them!
The three of them were the Martian Colony Governor, the giant tree, and a red-haired old man in a military uniform. All three of them were perfected Core Formation realm cultivators. Their cultivation levels were unleashed at this moment, and as they joined forces, they clashed directly with the giant hand that was grabbing at them.
A deafening boom erupted. The Big Tree and the elder grunted and retreated hastily. Only the Martian Colony Governor didn't retreat. Instead, she raised her right hand, and a huge war hammer appeared in her hand. The moment the war hammer appeared, it shook the heavens and earth. An aura that was second only to a Divine Armament emanated from it. It was … a ninth-grade Dharmic Armament!
When the hammer smashed down, it was as if the heavens were collapsing and the earth was collapsing. The giant hand trembled violently and then exploded. Only the roar continued to echo, as if it was filled with unwillingness and madness.
"Go!" The Martian Colony Governor had a serious expression on her face. After that strike, she didn't say anything else and retreated. With a flick of her sleeve, she, the Big Tree, and the military elder escorted Wang Baole and the ten thousand people and sped away.
They rushed out of the catacombs without any obstructions. When they appeared outside, the Martian Colony Governor formed a hand seal and pointed. Instantly, the seal of the Divine Armament Catacombs was activated, sealing the catacombs once again.
When they arrived outside, Wang Baole was still in shock. He couldn't help but look at the Martian Colony Governor and the other two. He knew that the Governor had been teleported here after receiving news from him. Otherwise, this rescue mission would have been a complete failure.
Kongdao swallowed an elixir with the help of his companions. Although his injuries were still serious, they were enough to keep him from fainting. He understood that he had made a mistake here, and it could be said that he had narrowly escaped death. He was even more aware that if Wang Baole hadn't come to save him, he would have … become a corpse.
This made him feel conflicted. When he looked at Wang Baole, he didn't know what to say. He could only remain silent.
"Wang Baole, you're messing around!" After the Martian Colony Governor sealed the catacombs, she turned to look at Wang Baole. Her eyes were filled with anger, and her expression was extremely stern.
Wang Baole smiled bitterly in his heart. Just as he was about to speak, Kongdao gritted his teeth and spoke in a low voice.
"Governor, I was reckless. This has nothing to do with Wang Baole …"
"Shut up. Do you still know that you were reckless? What did this old man tell you before we came?! " The red-haired old man in military uniform was enraged before the Governor could speak. As the number one consecrator of the Martian military, he had a close relationship with Duan Muque. The reason Kongdao had come to Mars was because Duan Muque and the old man had discovered the infant Kongdao in the Sea of Beasts.
It could be said that the old man held Kongdao in high regard. Therefore, when he found out that Kongdao was in danger, he immediately came out of seclusion to rescue him. He glared at Wang Baole angrily. When the old man turned to look at Wang Baole, his expression was different. There was admiration and gratitude in his eyes.
He understood that if Wang Baole had waited for them to arrive before making a decision, Kongdao … would have already been dead.
Wang Baole blinked when he saw this. The Martian Colony Governor glared at Wang Baole again before reprimanding Kim Do-myung and Lin Tianhao. Finally, she told the three of them …
"Don't do this again!"
When he heard this, Wang Baole finally heaved a sigh of relief. He realized that although he was usually fearless, he didn't know why, but he was afraid of the Martian Colony Governor …
He quickly stepped forward and was thinking about how to flatter her when the Martian Colony Governor snorted.
"That's enough. Don't pretend to be pitiful. Since I'm here, I'll take a look at the construction of your new district today. If there are any mistakes, I'll punish you!"
"Rest assured, Colony Governor. I can't guarantee anything else, but there are definitely no problems with this new district. I've been working tirelessly for the past six months …" Wang Baole patted his chest and immediately expressed his stance. The Martian Colony Governor glared at him again and interrupted his boasting. Without saying anything else, she walked in front and began her inspection.
Although the inspection was detailed, it wasn't slow. After all, given the Martian Colony Governor's level of cultivation, she could usually detect some problems with a single glance. Therefore, after an hour, the Martian Colony Governor discovered a few problems and asked Wang Baole to fix them quickly. Only then did she end her inspection and leave.
From the beginning to the end, she didn't look at Li Yi, nor did she say a word to Li Yi. It was as if she was completely ignoring her. This made Li Yi, who had thought that she would be praised, stunned.
The red-haired old man was the same. Although he was strict with Kongdao, he was very appreciative of Wang Baole, Lin Tianhao, and Kim Do-myung. He was also smiling happily. As for Li Yi, he ignored her as well. However, before he left, he looked at her meaningfully and snorted.
This made Li Yi nervous. She couldn't help but look at the Big Tree. The Big Tree remained silent. It was only when he was about to leave that he sighed. When he looked at Li Yi, there were some indescribable emotions in his eyes. He seemed to be regretful and speechless.
When he arrived and saw that Wang Baole and the others had entered the Catacombs, leaving only Li Yi outside, he knew that … Li Yi had made a mistake!
If there was no comparison, it would have been fine. However, everyone knew that Wang Baole and Kongdao were at odds. Even so, Wang Baole had not hesitated. He had put himself in danger and had chosen to save Kongdao immediately.
Even if it was a little impulsive, they were all young people. They had to be hot-blooded. Although their actions were inappropriate, it was a bonus to their hearts!
On the other hand, no matter the reason, Li Yi did not choose to go with them. It seemed like she had the moral high ground, but in reality, her actions were not wrong. However, in terms of their hearts, she had lost a lot of points, and not just a little bit at that …
In the Federation's official environment, people were the most important. Many times, bonus points for their hearts were very important.
Especially when Kongdao's identity was not ordinary …
As the Big Tree looked over, Li Yi's body trembled. Her face slowly turned pale. She had clearly reacted. When she subconsciously looked at Kongdao, she realized that Kongdao was looking at Wang Baole with a complicated gaze.
Even Kim Do-myung shook his head inwardly. He wondered if Li Yi's brain had not developed properly because all the nutrients had gone into her body.
Just like that, when the Domain Ruler and the others left, everything seemed normal in the new district. However, in reality, Li Yi could clearly feel that she was being isolated …. Kongdao didn't say anything, but the military cultivators under his command treated Li Yi coldly when compared to Wang Baole.
Lin Tianhao was like that from beginning to end. As for Kim Do-myung, he seemed to be much less enthusiastic ….
"Wang Baole, you're definitely doing this on purpose!!" Li Yi returned to her residence gloomily. She immediately gritted her teeth. Her eyes were filled with hatred. She swore in her heart that she would definitely kick Wang Baole out and replace him!
While Li Yi was swearing, Wang Baole, who had returned to his residence, breathed a sigh of relief. A strange look appeared in his eyes. He thought about his trip to the Catacombs and the absorption of the devouring seed. In this short period of time, his cultivation base had increased significantly.
He couldn't help but begin to ponder the matter. At the same time, he realized that after rescuing Kong Dao, more than half of his mosquitoes had been destroyed. However, there were still two … that were still alive, and were currently in the catacombs!
