Vigilante A watched as the old man in charge of the fish pond left on the electric tricycle, but he did not leave.
He frowned as he looked at the pond. However, the pond was calm as if the worm-like monster had never been there.
"This is so troublesome. That Shadow King must be hiding underground. I can't possibly drill into the ground to look, can I?" Sir System said gloomily.
"Uh, that's not chivalrous." Fang Ning agreed.
"What chivalrous? Why would I care about that thing? "Sir System said disdainfully." I'm saying that I'll be easily ambushed if I drill underground. It's not good for my combat effectiveness. "
"I'm sorry, I really don't know much about you, God of War." Fang Ning quickly apologized and continued, "You're late again today. If it wasn't for the sudden kindness of the crow, this old man would've been killed on the spot. How pitiful."
"I can't help it. I'm not their System Daddy, and I don't have the halo of a movie to save them every time." Sir System said helplessly. "Believe it or not, during the time you've been talking to me, many people have been killed. Are you going to blame it on me? Not to mention the System, even Saint Daddy can't save everyone. "
"I'm not complaining about you." Fang Ning shook his head. "I'm saying that the situation has worsened. We can no longer decide the direction of the general trend from a strategic level like before. It seems like we'll have to go with the flow."
"Those ordinary people shouldn't be living outside. They should hurry to the arcane realm so that I won't be tied down when I fight." Sir System complained.
"That's true. Death isn't the end anyway. At most, they'll be reincarnated into a robot and continue living." Fang Ning analyzed calmly.
"Alright, enough with the nonsense. Send a message to those rats and ask them about the situation underground," Sir System ordered.
Fang Ning quickly sent a message to Bai Shixin.
It did not take long for the underground king to reply.
After Fang Ning saw it, he shook his head.
"They are still investigating the origin of this Shadow King. At present, they only know that in a short period of time, it has subdued the previously harmless Giant Earthworm Race and transformed it into a Shadow Earth Dragon. It is currently expanding underground and had a fierce conflict with them just now. Both sides have casualties."
"So that's how it is. If we really killed that long worm that emerged from the ground just now, it would only be worth a hundred experience points. At most, it would be equivalent to a ferocious beast. Looks like their main force has been used to deal with those rats. "Sir System suddenly realized.
"Don't worry about the rats. My instincts tell me that this Shadow King is the one who plotted against me. Let's drag it out first," Fang Ning said seriously.
"Hmm, do you have any evidence?" Sir System asked in disbelief.
"Nonsense, what evidence is needed for this? This is the Heavenly Axiom's territory, we'll be able to confirm it by spending some Merit Points. I'll summon the green-skinned frog now, "Fang Ning said with certainty.
"It's not good to waste Heavenly Merit Points on such a small matter, right? Although it's true that it's an IOU, it's still a very precious IOU. Most people can't even get their hands on one, "Sir System said gloomily.
"Small matter? Are you an idiot? " Fang Ning immediately questioned Sir System with a tone of concern for the mentally retarded. "It's plotting against me. How can my life and safety be a small matter? Hurry up and give me a hundred Merit Points. "
"If you really want to be safe, you should cultivate to my level as soon as possible. You'll be impervious to all evils and poisons. Unless you face me head-on, don't even think about using crooked methods to harm me," Sir System muttered. "Alright, ask the green-skinned frog, I'll pay the bill."
Without waiting for Fang Ning to summon it, the green-skinned frog jumped out and said, "Axiom Daddy said that we don't need Merit Points this time. That Shadow King is from the World of Spirits and Souls and is the number one Spirit General under the Great Spirit Lord of Heavenly Oracle. The Shadow Spirit General is best at covert operations and spreading fear. More information, where it is, and the next step of the plan are all shrouded in a layer of shadows. I can't investigate in detail, but I'll tell Master once I've found out. "
"Damn it, this idiot really knows how to sail with the wind. As soon as it needs our help, it immediately gives out free gifts. Its skin is even thicker than yours." Sir System said resentfully.
Fang Ning was speechless. "It's not as thick as yours. Anyway, this is the advantage of being on home ground. There are locals to provide information at any time. Now, we can confirm that the one behind all this is this Shadow Spirit General. Its current plan is very obvious, which is to first destroy us, the strongest local aborigines. As for the purpose of the plan, I'm very clear. "
"What purpose?" Sir System asked curiously.
"Hmph, didn't I say before that they want to extend the lives of the World of Spirits and Souls? Spreading fear on Earth and forcing the people on Earth to believe in this Shadow King. The next step is to ask the believers to contribute their wealth. That's what the cult does. Whatever doomsday theory, in the end, it can't be separated from squeezing the last copper coin of the believers, including the believers' lives. "Fang Ning said bitterly.
"Yes, great minds think alike," Sir System said affirmatively. "So what should we do next? It's in the dark while we're out in the open. This isn't easy … "
"Hmph, the more it spreads fear, the more we can't let it have its way. That's why Vigilante A's home can't be moved into the arcane realm. Otherwise, the others will lose confidence," Fang Ning said as he shrank into the blacksmith's forge. "As for the ordinary people, let them quickly enter the arcane realm. With the home ground advantage, I don't believe that we can't destroy these spirit generals. Also, let Old Man Zheng and the rest work in the Draconic Arcane Realm. It's safer there. "
"Uh, when you say this, if you can come out of the blacksmith's forge and take control of your own body, it'll be more convincing," Sir System said disdainfully.
"No, I'll be sleeping in this blacksmith's forge for the next period of time. My body will be taken over by you. When the spirit general dies, with the Heavenly Axiom's confirmation, you can give me some time to relax. "Fang Ning said confidently.
"Uh, your face really is thicker than mine …" Sir System said gloomily.
Fang Ning did not care at all. "Thank you for the compliment."
…
Greater Rat Underground Kingdom, Palace Assembly Hall.
"If we knew this day would come, we should've exterminated these earthworms back then!" A military minister said angrily.
"Hmph, even our Military Advisor Kong Liang didn't foresee this day, did he …" Someone gloated.
Kong Liang, who was holding a feather fan, did not say a word. It was as if he did not care to talk to these people after the fact.
"Alright, everyone, be quiet. We'll listen to His Majesty," a minister advised.
Bai Shixin sat on the throne with an expressionless face.
This was just a challenge that he had long expected. He was not surprised, nor was he nervous.
When everyone quieted down, he asked Bai Shifu, who was first on his right, "Shifu, how's the construction of the Land of Culinary?"
"Reporting to His Majesty, the construction is more than 70% complete. It's completely modeled after the layout of the Human Clan's Land of Heritage. The effective land area is forty-three thousand square kilometers, which is enough to support the survival of tens of billions of Greater Rats," Bai Shifu answered seriously.
Everyone came to a realization, and the fear they had before disappeared.
"His Majesty is far-sighted, wise and farsighted. You're a blessing to our clan!" Suddenly, someone knelt on the ground and complimented.
The others followed suit. For a moment, the entire court was filled with flattery.
Bai Shixin pressed his hands down slightly, and everyone immediately quieted down.
"Alright, rise, ministers."
The ministers immediately stood up, their eyes filled with excitement.
Since His Majesty had already arranged an escape route, what was there for them to be afraid of? No matter what others thought, they believed that they were definitely qualified to enter the arcane realm.
"From today onwards, start moving the key personnel into the arcane realm. Also, stay behind locally. Come up with an evacuation plan." Bai Shixin ended the meeting with these words.
After the court was dismissed, he returned to the study of the harem and summoned Bai Shifu and the others.
"Any news from the Venerable Dragon God?" He asked with concern.
"Big Brother, after the Venerable Dragon God asked about the King of Shadows, he did not do anything else. He only dismissed the staff in the villa. They probably went to various arcane realms," Bai Shifu answered seriously.
"Oh, it seems that this King of Shadows is not to be underestimated. With the power we have now, we can only avoid it temporarily," Bai Shixin said thoughtfully.
"Why don't we ask the old man?" Bai Shifu suggested carefully.
"The old man's current strength is only a Sea-level powerhouse. If even the Venerable Dragon God had to dismiss his family, it's impossible for him to face the King of Shadows head-on. However, he should know more information, so it's good to ask him, "Bai Shixin said lightly.
"Alright, Big Brother, I'll contact the old man and the others now," Bai Shifu agreed.
"Okay, go ahead. Be careful," Bai Shixin ordered.
