Pudgy Jiang's subordinates shuddered, not daring to retort.
They respected Jiang He very much, and if it was as Chief Jiang said … Jiang He was a great hero of humanity who would not hesitate to die with the Sky Demon Cult's elites. How could they leave his corpse in the wild?
Moreover, Pudgy Jiang was really losing his temper.
He was a man who liked to taunt others and always had a smile on his face. But now, his eyes were bloodshot and he was hysterical.
Everyone went around looking for it …
Someone came to Pudgy Jiang's side and mused, "Chief Jiang, could we be mistaken?"
"Maybe Jiang He isn't dead?"
"The Third Elder of the Sky Demon Cult left something even though he was at the center of the explosion. If Jiang He is really dead, wouldn't we find his corpse?"
Pudgy Jiang flashed a pained smile. "I hope that's the case, but … I know nuclear bazookas very well. They have a short range and a wide explosive range, and it would be fine if there was cover since the shooter would have a chance of survival. But this is an open field with no cover, and the yield of the rocket is too high. How could Jiang He stop it?"
Being a spitfire expert, Pudgy Jiang believed in his own judgment.
That was when his gaze suddenly shifted and he looked into the distance.
There was a road leading to the Helan Mountains.
There were two blinding lights on the road.
"Chief Jiang, it's a car coming out of Mount Helan. Should we stop it?" Someone asked, and Pudgy Jiang's fat body darted away in a flash, landing on the highway.
Screech!
The off-road vehicle stopped.
Jiang He opened the door and stepped out, barking with a smile, "Old Jiang, what are you doing here instead of sleeping in the middle of the night?"
Pudgy Jiang's eyes widened and he could not help exclaiming, "Jiang He, you're not dead?"
？？？
Jiang He was confused.
Who was he cursing?
And yet, Pudgy Jiang had already run up to him, spreading his arms in excitement to hug Jiang He. Jiang He charged Indestructible Diamond by reflex, his protective Nature Qi quaking and sending Pudgy Jiang flying.
"Old Jiang, just say what you want, don't get physical!"
Jiang He only understood what Pudgy Jiang meant when he said 'you're not dead' after they chatted for around eight minutes, and could not help scowling. "Fool, you call yourself a spitfire expert?"
"The weakness of the nuclear rocket launcher is indeed very obvious, but it's not like it can't be avoided!"
Fatty Jiang's interest was immediately piqued, and he asked, "How do we avoid it?"
"Run!"
"After you fire the cannon, immediately turn around and run. As long as you run fast enough, the shockwave won't be able to catch up to you!"
Of course, Jiang He would never mention that the range of a nuclear missile would increase if he planted it once … no one would understand even if he did, and even if they did, could they plant it?
Fatty Jiang was speechless.
If he didn't run fast enough, wouldn't he still die?
He could not help asking, "By the way, why did you come to Mount Helan in the middle of the night, Jiang He?"
"Didn't I just accept a quest? The Superpower Research Department has a research project that requires several Ferals, and they have to be alive. "
At that, Jiang He's tone changed and he seethed through clenched teeth, "I didn't expect the Sky Demon Cult to be so persistent, sending two Grands and an Elder to kill me!"
It was fortunate that the Third Elder of the Sky Demon Cult, Bound Star, and Guilty Star could not hear that, or they would be so furious they would come back to life!
We came to the Helan Mountains just to cut down trees, okay?
We just wanted to get some Origin Fluid and a Willow Heart, that's all …
Filled with righteous indignation, Pudgy Jiang cursed the Sky Demon Cult a few more times before asking, "You came to Mount Helan to tame beasts. Where are the Ferals you tamed?"
Just as he spoke, a cry could be heard —
"Chief Jiang, Ferals are coming!"
It was the young man who awakened all-seeing eyes, and he could not help exclaiming, "It's three leopard Ferals, and their auras are very powerful!"
Pudgy Jiang looked over to find three Ferals dashing towards them, kicking up a cloud of dust on the gravel path.
Jiang He smiled. "Aren't they here now?"
"Alright, Old Jiang. I'm in a hurry to get home, so I won't waste time with you."
With that, he climbed into the passenger seat of the off-road vehicle.
Mu Wanqiu floored the accelerator and the off-road vehicle roared away, with the three ferocious leopards in hot pursuit.
"…"
Pudgy Jiang and the others were left gaping and tongue-tied, only coming to their senses after a long while. They traded glances, with someone gulping and exclaiming in disbelief, "So powerful! Just what grade are these three leopard type vicious beasts? The aura they emit makes me shiver in fear … "
"Nonsense!"
Pudgy Jiang barked, at a loss for words. "A rank-seven, a rank-six, and a rank-five pinnacle. How could they not be powerful?"
It was daybreak when Pudgy Jiang returned to the Western Xia MAD.
Just as he returned to the station, the person in charge of the intelligence department came to him with a somber expression and said somberly, "Chief Jiang, there's trouble. The Sky Demon Cult spies we've been keeping an eye on have all disappeared overnight."
"What happened?"
Pudgy Jiang's expression darkened and he barked, "What the hell are the twenty-odd people in your intelligence department doing? You can't even keep an eye on a few Sky Demon Cultists? "
There were dozens of Sky Demon Cultists near Western Xia, but the Martial Arts Department (MAD) only had their eyes on four of them. They had intended to bait the bigger fish with a long line, but did not expect that all four of them would vanish overnight.
Sweat appeared on the intelligence chief's forehead as he exclaimed, "I'll look into it right away, Chief!"
Hence, he left and mobilized all his forces to investigate everywhere.
Finally, around five in the afternoon, he returned to Pudgy Jiang's office, looking taken aback as he said, "Chief …"
"Our men have done a lot of investigations and found that those people had gone to Mount Helan last night …"
"I led a team to Mount Helan at noon, and found a dozen corpses there. Their identities have been confirmed, and they must be Sky Demon Cultists."
"What?"
Pudgy Jiang promptly remembered Jiang He, and whipped out his phone to call him …
However, the phone showed that no one was answering.
After some thought, he said, "Help me contact Duan Tianhe … Whatever, I'll contact him myself!"
… …
Meanwhile.
Jiang He was still snoring away in his bedroom on the second floor of his mansion in Jinyintan Village.
After returning home and having breakfast, he remembered that he had slept less than an hour last night, and so made up for it by sleeping from eight in the morning until the afternoon.
It was only after six that Jiang He rubbed his bleary eyes and got out of bed.
Sora had already prepared a towel, toothbrush, toothpaste, and a fragrant dinner for him.
After enjoying the boring life of a maid, Jiang He put on his flip-flops and wandered out to the yard.
Having had his fill, it was time to farm.
In the yard, Dumbo and Trumbo were hopping over the graves, while the three panthers were sprawled in a corner of the yard, their faces blank and despairing …
Could these two even be considered as Berserkers?
What an embarrassment to Ferals!
Jiang He entered the yard, and both Dumbo and Trumbo promptly ran to him, with Dumbo even bringing his shovel with him. Worst of all …
That Three-tailed Demon Cat was wagging its tail like a dog to curry favor with Jiang He?
The black panther complained endlessly inwardly, a look of disdain showing in its eyes.
In the next split second, it lunged before Jiang He and mimicked the cat, wagging its tail and speaking through spirit, "Bro, is there anything I can help you with?"
With a turn of his hand, Jiang He took out a violet mushroom from his System Backpack.
That thing …
It looked delicious, but there was no telling how it would turn out!
