The surroundings instantly became quiet …
Pan Shiliu broke out in cold sweat. He looked around and realized that the officers and warriors were looking at him coldly. Even the guards he brought along were looking at him with a different gaze.
The summoners were also looking at him with mocking gazes.
Xia Pingan's voice was very loud. Everyone at the entrance of the valley heard him.
When Xia Pingan took out those weapons, Pan Shiliu was secretly happy. He thought he had trapped Xia Pingan. Who would have thought that Xia Pingan would turn around and dig a hole for him to jump into?
Looking at Xia Pingan's cold gaze, Pan Shiliu gritted his teeth and purposely sighed. "The Summer Priest and the officers of the 87th Legion are indeed on the same side. I just met the Summer Priest. I don't know how I've offended you. Why do you have to force me into a corner?"
"How did I force you into a corner?" Xia Pingan looked calmly at the man whose expression changed. "All the warriors of the 87th Legion can go to the battlefield and die, but you're still worried that they can't protect you. There are so many summoners here. Whose life isn't more valuable than yours? Which one of them hasn't been to the battlefield? You keep saying that you're doing this for the guards, for the tens of thousands of people in Cloud Bay Mountain Base. Can't you go to the battlefield and fight for them? Is your life more valuable than everyone else's? Since you don't want to go to the battlefield, why are you trying so hard to hold onto so many weapons? Do you want to rebel in this small Cloud Bay Mountain Base? "
"If this isn't coercion, then what is? If you want my life, just say it. Why do you have to cover it up with some magic beasts?! " Pan Shiliu threw caution to the wind and said loudly to the guards he brought along, "Think about it, how many magic beasts did the drones discover? There were more than ten magic fire spiders and magic liquid spiders, and hundreds of magic rats. Xia Pingan said that he only needs the two of us to stop those magic beasts. How is that possible? He just wants to bring me to my death. How can the two of us stop so many magic beasts? If I'm killed by the magic beasts, he's a summoner, so he naturally has a way to escape …"
Pan Shiliu became more and more agitated as he spoke. He pointed at Xia Pingan and said, "This person is the most hypocritical and vicious. Don't believe his nonsense. He's here to disintegrate our guards and set me up!"
Hearing Pan Shiliu's words, the guards looked at each other one by one. Many of them looked doubtful and wavered.
"It's true that one or two people are enough to deal with those magic beasts. A villain sees everyone as a villain. Don't think that others are as dirty as you. If I want your life, why do I have to go through so much trouble?" Xia Pingan said.
"Hahaha, one or two people? Are you kidding me?"
Pan Shiliu sneered. He had seen the power of those magic beasts, especially those magic fire spiders and magic liquid spiders. Those things could overturn tanks and armored vehicles. Even a summoner would have a hard time dealing with one. How could so many magic beasts be dealt with by one or two people?
"I admit that I don't have the ability to deal with those magic beasts. Even if I know how to use a gun, I can barely deal with a magic rat. That's why I want to arm myself with powerful weapons. What's wrong with arming the guards? You said that one or two people are enough to deal with those magic beasts. Other than me, do you think you have the ability to deal with the rest of the magic beasts alone? Aren't you bringing me there to kill me with a borrowed knife? If you can kill those magic beasts alone, why don't I give you my life? "
Xia Pingan squinted at Pan Shiliu and asked calmly, "You said that as long as I can kill those magic beasts alone, you'll give me your life?"
Pan Shiliu was certain that Xia Pingan couldn't kill those magic beasts alone. He said loudly, "That's right. As long as you have the guts and the ability to prove that I'm framing you, you can take my life. If you don't have the ability and want to trick me into going against those magic beasts with you, what is it if you don't want to kill the guards with a borrowed knife? Even if you're the priest of the 87th Legion, you still have to answer to the tens of thousands of people in this base and the guards. Otherwise, we won't agree to it.
Don't you agree? "Even at this moment, Pan Shiliu still didn't forget to instigate the people around him. He even wanted to use words to checkmate Xia Pingan and put Xia Pingan in a dilemma.
"Alright, everyone heard what he said. He said himself that if I can kill those magic beasts alone, his life will be mine. Today, I'll make a bet with you. I'll kill those magic beasts alone. If I can't come back, or if I don't have the ability to kill those magic beasts alone, I'll use my life to answer to the tens of thousands of people and the guards in this base. If I can kill those magic beasts alone and come back, your life will be mine!"
Pan Shiliu smiled sinisterly and looked at Xia Pingan fearlessly. "A man always keeps his word. Let's make a bet. Do you really think I'm afraid of you? I'll wait for you here. But don't come back and say that you've killed those magic beasts. There's a drone here. The drone will send the video over at any time. If I and the people here don't see how you killed those magic beasts, you'll have to answer to me and the people in this base with your life!"
Pan Shiliu's last sentence was full of viciousness.
"Alright, it's settled then. I'll let you see it with your own eyes!" Xia Pingan said calmly.
Hearing Xia Pingan's words, everyone in the surroundings stared at him. Those military officers exchanged glances with each other with a worried look. Those summoners also exchanged glances with each other as they felt it was unbelievable.
If there were only those demon rats instead of those huge spiders, they felt that Xia Pingan might be able to kill those demon rats by summoning a group of slave soldiers and rune bullets. However, those huge spiders were not easy to deal with. It would be great if Xia Pingan could kill one or two huge spiders alone, but there were so many of them …
"Brat, how could you agree to such a bet? He's provoking you. How could you deal with so many demon fire spiders alone …" Tu Polu walked towards Pan Shiliu with a frown as he glared at Pan Shiliu with a murderous look, which scared Pan Shiliu so much that he moved two steps back. Tu Polu didn't hesitate to say what many people were thinking.
"Old Tu, don't worry. I know what I'm doing!" Xia Pingan said frankly. "If you're still worried, lend me your saber!"
Tu Polu's saber was on his back. It was inserted into the scabbard like a small door plank. No matter where he went, Tu Polu would carry it with him and treat it as a treasure.
Tu Polu's saber was a celestial device. It was said that Tu Polu had spent a lot of effort and almost went bankrupt in exchange for it.
Hearing that Xia Pingan wanted his huge saber, Tu Polu instantly drew out his huge saber from his back and gave it to Xia Pingan, saying, "Here you go. This huge saber is a bit heavy. Can you get used to it?"
"No problem!" Xia Pingan nodded.
"This is not a joke. There are so many demon beasts!" Li Yunzhou also walked over and said worriedly.
"Don't worry!" Xia Pingan smiled and glanced at Pan Shiliu. Pan Shiliu was secretly sizing him up with a sinister look in his eyes.
This Pan Shiliu was indeed not a good person. Just now, Xia Pingan was just testing him. If he really dared to disregard his own life and go out with him to fight against those demon beasts for the sake of the people in the base, Xia Pingan would look at him in a new light. The heavy weapons that Xia Pingan took out could be given to him just like that. It was not a big deal to increase the strength of the guards here.
However, Pan Shiliu revealed his true colors the moment he heard about the risk. He was greedy for life and afraid of death. This kind of person was the best at scheming. He had a glib tongue. He spoke of benevolence, righteousness, morality, and reason. On the surface, he appeared to be awe-inspiring, but inside, he was absolutely a thief and a prostitute. Such a person could only let others die for him, while he reaped the benefits and took all the credit for himself.
What was he thinking when he took the weapons but didn't risk his life to fight against the demon beasts? He just wanted to take advantage of the chaos to seize power and increase the weight in his hands, paving the way for his tyrannical behavior in the future …
Such a trash would only be a scourge if he stayed here. Sooner or later, he would cause trouble …
"Today, I'll start with you!" Xia Pingan said to himself in his heart.
Speaking of sabers, Tu Polu's huge saber was indeed heavy, but in Xia Pingan's hands, it was extremely easy.
It was only now that Xia Pingan seriously sized up the magical weapon in Tu Polu's hands. In the past, Xia Pingan felt that Tu Polu's huge saber was like a guillotine. It was wide and thick, with a curved tip and an axe-like head. There were also thick serrated patterns on the back of the saber, which seemed somewhat familiar. Now that he held the huge saber in his hands, Xia Pingan seriously sized it up twice. Only then did he realize that the appearance of this huge saber suddenly matched the appearance of an item in Xia Pingan's memory.
The appearance of this huge saber was exactly the same as the majestic horse-headed saber unearthed from the Shang Dynasty tomb in Xinggan Oceania in Jiangxi that Xia Pingan remembered.
That Shang Dynasty tomb in Xinggan Oceania in Jiangxi was a huge tomb. The excavation of that huge tomb directly rewrote the history of Jiangnan's civilization. Many important artifacts of the Shang Dynasty that shocked the archaeology community were unearthed from that huge tomb, and that horse-headed saber was one of them.
However, the horse-headed saber unearthed from that huge tomb was made of bronze, while this huge saber in front of him looked like an enlarged version of that horse-headed saber. The handle and decoration were made of alloy steel, and the appearance was slightly different. That was why Xia Pingan had never thought of it before.
Why were all these magical weapons unearthed from the tombs in his memory?
It seemed like he really had to find an opportunity to obtain a treasure realm pearl to study it.
"Those monsters are less than five kilometers away from here …" Guo Wei walked over and reminded Xia Pingan.
"Alright, I got it. Tell the warriors of the 87th Legion not to make a move later. Just watch!"
Hearing Xia Pingan's words, Guo Wei looked at the road outside the valley entrance. He seemed to have understood something and nodded lightly.
After only ten minutes, the huge bodies of the Demonic Fire Spiders appeared on the road more than two kilometers away from the valley like tanks.
Seeing the monsters appear, Xia Pingan didn't say anything else. He held the huge saber in his hand and charged towards the monsters under everyone's watchful eyes.
