Chapter 862: If you don’t agree, then kill them.
“A mere fifty-odd Mole Girls want to use the teleportation gate. Do they really think you, General, are just a decoration?”
In the marshal’s tent of the local garrison, a Golden Corpse Deputy General said to the Bear Skeleton, adding fuel to the fire.
“Hmph, to think they’d try to bribe this general with so little! It’s simply an insult to me! As long as I’m here, let alone forty-odd Mole Girls, even if there were only four, they wouldn’t get away with it.”
The Bear Skeleton also chimed in to express his “integrity.”
“General, it’s strange, how did they get past Meng Yu’s inspection?”
The Golden Corpse Deputy General asked in confusion. The Meng Yu he mentioned was the guard general at the previous teleportation point, General Meng.
“That Meng Yu was promoted by General Sha, so it’s natural for him to open the gate. I will definitely report this matter to my lord after I return, and make sure he suffers the consequences.”
The Bear Skeleton said with a stern tone.
“General, your subordinate has a suggestion. I don’t know if I should speak it or not?”
The Golden Corpse Deputy General asked cautiously.
“Just say what you have to say, don’t be so hesitant like a woman.”
The Bear General said impatiently.
“Look, General, the blood slaves we brought are either starving to death or dying of illness, and their numbers are severely insufficient. Since Deputy General Guo’s group has violated military discipline, why don’t we take this opportunity to capture them all, and then take those dozens of Mole Girls as blood slaves?”
The Golden Corpse Deputy General offered a plan.
“Hmm?”
The Bear General showed a thoughtful expression.
“General, when we return, we can also exchange these Mole Girls with my lord for rewards. If one of them is indeed the person she’s looking for, then we’ll hit the jackpot. It’s killing two birds with one stone!”
The Golden Corpse Deputy General continued to instigate.
“This is quite a good idea. Let’s do it.”
The Bear General excitedly slammed the table.
However, at this moment, something unexpected happened.
The Bear General suddenly felt a constriction on his body. He looked down and saw several hair-like things that seemed to have appeared from nowhere, wrapping tightly around his body.
“What the hell is this?”
The Bear General muttered in confusion, then instinctively struggled, only to find that these hair-like things were surprisingly tough and could not be broken. What was even more terrifying was that they were constantly tightening, sinking into his bones inch by inch, like sharp blades.
“General, what is this thing?”
The Golden Corpse Deputy General beside him was also completely bewildered.
“How would I know? Roar!”
The Bear General roared in fury, then thrashed violently on the ground, his terrifying aura sweeping out like a tide. The large tent collapsed with a bang.
The Golden Corpse Deputy General quickly retreated, afraid of being caught in the crossfire. Many evil spirits in the vicinity also rushed over upon hearing the commotion.
When the smoke and dust cleared, the evil spirits discovered that the Bear General was standing still in place.
“General? Are you alright?”
The Golden Corpse Deputy General cautiously walked over to ask, but received no response.
“General?”
The Golden Corpse Deputy General bravely reached out and patted the Bear Skeleton’s arm.
“Crackle! Crackle!”
A series of cracking sounds followed, and the Bear Skeleton’s body suddenly collapsed like a mountain, turning into bone fragments the size of fists that scattered across the ground.
“Ah!”
The evil spirits were terrified out of their wits, and they all fled, crying and screaming.
…
This Immortal Elder has already helped you deal with this roadblock. If you still don’t dare to make a move, then I will have to do it.
Qi Huang thought to herself after putting away the hair-like strands.
With the death of the Bear Skeleton, the local garrison fell into chaos, and it was impossible to suppress it. Therefore, the news quickly reached Deputy General Guo.
“This is truly heaven-sent!”
“Deputy General Guo, make your move. As long as we kill them all, the teleportation gate will be ours to use at will.”
Wei Zhuo urged impatiently.
“…”
Deputy General Guo took a deep breath, his face showing hesitation.
“What are you waiting for? We have tens of thousands of troops, can’t we handle these few thousand guards?”
Wei Zhuo asked in confusion.
“It’s precisely because we have too many people that it’s difficult for me to give the order. Can you guarantee that all these tens of thousands of people will keep their mouths shut after we return?”
Deputy General Guo retorted.
“This…”
Wei Zhuo was unable to refute for a moment.
“Alliance Leader Wei, please do it yourself.”
Deputy General Guo immediately requested.
“Me, do it myself? Why?”
Wei Zhuo confirmed in astonishment.
“Because you are a free agent. When you act alone, you only need to disguise yourself, and no one will recognize you. Moreover, with your strength, it shouldn’t be difficult to eliminate these remaining few thousand Ghost Tribe members.”
Deputy General Guo gave his reasons.
Wei Zhuo struggled for a long time but couldn’t find a reason to refute. Finally, he resignedly muttered, “Forget it, I’ll do it alone. It’s just that this Alliance Leader is in a hurry to return to Kaiyuan Star.”
“Then I’ll trouble you, Alliance Leader Wei.”
Deputy General Guo was overjoyed. Who wouldn’t want to benefit without lifting a finger?
Wei Zhuo then covered himself completely and charged into the local garrison’s camp like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, slaughtering wildly. There were two reasons why he was so dedicated: first, he was eager to return to Kaiyuan Star, as his relatives and friends were there; second, he wanted to kill “Zhong Zhen” to vent his anger. Both of these required the help of that demon.
Wei Zhuo’s strength reached the mid-stage of a Flying Corpse, while the strongest evil spirit in the local garrison was only of Golden Corpse strength. Therefore, in his eyes, they were no different from ants. It took less than an hour for him to eliminate them all.
Deputy General Guo then rushed into the Bear General’s tent and quickly found a stack of Qi Gathering Talismans, which were essential for activating the teleportation gate.
Next, Deputy General Guo led all his subordinates through the teleportation gate to the next stronghold. Qi Huang and the other Mole Girls were, as usual, stored in storage rings.
This teleportation was still very long. Three days had passed, and they still hadn’t seen the exit. The evil spirits with low strength were already drooling from hunger.
However, the girls in the storage ring were the opposite, living even more comfortably than before. This was because the food Qi Huang brought out was even richer than what Yuan Xin had provided before. Because of this, her status among the girls soared.
“Deputy General Guo, they are still hiding food. Should we confiscate it?”
The evil spirit Zeng Xiao immediately complained to Deputy General Guo.
Deputy General Guo hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: “Forget it. Who knows how much they’ve hidden?”
“Deputy General Guo, what’s the situation at the next teleportation point? What is the strength of the garrison commander?”
Wei Zhuo couldn’t help but inquire.
“The next stronghold is called Black Death Star, and the guard is an evil spirit at the peak of the Demon Realm.”
Deputy General Guo briefly introduced.
“Peak Demon Realm? How can they be so strong?”
Wei Zhuo frowned deeply, because an evil spirit at the peak of the Demon Realm was equivalent to a cultivator at the peak of the Heavenly Punishment Realm, much stronger than the Bear General, who was at the late stage of Flying Bone.
“Strong? This is the Immortal Realm. Below the level of Heavenly Beings, one isn’t even considered an ant.”
Deputy General Guo said sarcastically.
“Anyway, killing us is no harder than killing pigs.”
Wei Zhuo chuckled self-deprecatingly, then said, “Are there any living people or creatures on the Black Death Star? We can take the opportunity to supplement our Mole Girls or food.”
“It’s called ‘Death Star,’ do you think there are?”
Deputy General Guo retorted.
“Then how do you plan to get through? The previous pass was because we got lucky and General Bear suddenly became
unstable, so we were able to enter the teleportation gate. The next one will probably not be so lucky.”
Wei Zhuo pressed.
“What can I do? We can only go there first and see. I hope we get lucky again.”
Deputy General Guo said helplessly.
Qi Huang, however, was not the least bit panicked. Since she already had experience, as long as she didn’t agree to kill them, it would be fine.
Another day passed, and the army of evil spirits finally exited the teleportation gate.
The moment Qi Huang was released, she scanned the surroundings and was overjoyed. She discovered that this star was distributed with a considerable quantity of Ghost Tomatoes. If she could absorb them all, her strength could at least increase by two or three minor levels.
Deputy General Guo ordered people to take the Mole Girls to a separate courtyard for confinement, while he and Wei Zhuo went to discuss the teleportation with the local commander.
As soon as Qi Huang entered the courtyard, she used the excuse of changing clothes to find a secluded room and then released Huang Jing.
“Huang Jing, you stay here and impersonate me, understand?”
Qi Huang instructed.
“Big Sister, where are you going?”
Huang Jing asked with concern.
“I’ve discovered that there are a large number of Ghost Tomatoes on this star. We absolutely cannot miss them.”
Qi Huang briefly explained the situation.
“Then why don’t you come back and pick them later?”
Huang Jing pressed.
“The Immortal Realm is full of experts. Who knows what dangers we’ll encounter next? So, I must seize any opportunity to improve my strength.”
Qi Huang explained with a solemn expression.
“I understand. Come back soon.”
Huang Jing realized.
Qi Huang smiled with satisfaction, and her figure disappeared into the room. With her speed, even flying out boldly wouldn’t be noticed, let alone the fact that she had sprinkled herself with Heaven-Concealing Water.
