Chapter 815 - 810: The Star-Picking Tower Bugs Misled Me!
Bron felt a chill in his heart.
At this moment, he also realized that the intelligence had gone wrong.
The bugs at the Star-Picking Tower misled me!
No, it’s still Gangxin being too cunning.
Bron had a thought and looked up at the five-meter-tall Ox Demon: "Shaking Earth, the intelligence only said that Dongbo Cheng and Beiming Jihu appeared, but what about Gangxin? What about those Wild Warriors he leads?"
The Bat Demon transmitting the message was stunned: "Didn’t see clearly."
The Blood Bat Demon General sneered: "The Yellow Springs Belt was suddenly ambushed, the battle was dire. My sons being able to recognize Dongbo Cheng and Beiming Jihu was already difficult, no time to differentiate for you one by one."
Bron shouted: "Gangxin must not be here! If he were present, he would never have allowed the White Swamp Demon General to escape... Everyone, I suspect Gangxin’s team is still secretly watching! If we heavily reinforce the Yellow Springs Belt, we will fall into Gangxin’s trap!"
Bron felt he had grasped the truth.
But unfortunately, after this intelligence failure, the Demons’ goodwill towards him greatly declined, even the Ox Demon no longer believed his judgment.
The Snake Woman’s Melody smiled with her tongue out: "Melt Heart, are you saying the Oath Warriors led by Beiming Jihu and Dongbo Cheng aren’t the main force, and Gangxin’s Wild Warriors are?"
Bron was speechless.
"If it were the former Gangxin, with the strength to kill Red Emperor, this statement might be reasonable. But the current Gangxin has long since fallen from his peak, his strength drastically reduced. To still regard him as the main force would be ridiculous."
A Skeleton Dog Demon General covered in white frost, with a human voice, said coldly.
This was the Demon General Dog Demon "Frost Remains."
"Shaking Earth, the Profound Water Palace is crucial; if you all leave, who will guard it?" Bron tried to persuade the Ox Demon.
"Blood Bat, you stay here. After the army leaves, if Gangxin attacks, you can open the Yellow Springs Gate Spillway of the main island chamber of the Profound Water Palace."
The Ox Demon Shaking the Earth thought of a solution, "Your Blood Sucking Demon Bats are adept at flying, and I’ll leave a Ghost Frog Group with you. With the geographical advantage of the Yellow Springs Canal, even if Gangxin comes with those Wild Warriors, you can handle it."
The Yellow Springs Ghost Frog is the only Demon species that can survive in the waters of Yellow Springs, akin to a mount.
The Blood Sucking Demon Bat excels in aerial combat and can rest on the Ghost Frog’s back when tired.
Even if Gangxin comes, the Blood Bat Demon General leads the tribe, with the Yellow Springs Ghost Frog’s aid, defending the Yellow Springs Canal, making it difficult for Gangxin to break through.
Blood Bat’s eyes turned, he laughed: "Since this group of Wild Warriors under Melt Heart believes the enemy will attack the Profound Water Palace, why not let them stay with me to defend it together?"
"Very well." The Ox Demon Shaking the Earth said stifledly, having lost confidence, he didn’t want to offend Blood Bat.
Bron felt anxious.
He wanted to battle Gangxin again at the Profound Water Palace, but under the condition of having the Demonic Army’s advantage overwhelming them.
If only Blood Bat’s forces remained at the Profound Water Palace, with greatly reduced military strength, his chances of victory would significantly decrease.
However, just as Bron was about to speak, he received a new Spirit Realm prompt.
[War Mission: Defend the Profound Water Palace starts.]
[Mission Objective: Defend the Profound Water Palace for 48 hours.]
[Mission Difficulty: Unknown]
[Mission Rewards: 300~1000 Black Emperor Camp Merit Points; Black Emperor Camp Reputation +500~2000]
[Failure Penalty: Black Emperor Camp Reputation reduces by 500~2000. If the reputation is below 0, you will be expelled from the Black Emperor Camp.]
This war mission prompt left Bron without a heart for argument.
Bron knew his status was too small to shake the decisions of the Demon Generals.
Now, as it’s a war, the Bron Team, as part of the Demon Camp, must obey the commands of the Demon Commander.
If told to guard the Profound Water Palace, he must stay, otherwise, he’ll be seen as a traitor and the Demons could devour him alive immediately.
Unless he had a status as high as Bai Pu in the Guardian Camp, granting the right to act independently.
"Bron, there’s no need to argue with the Demons. If only Gangxin’s Awakeners come to the Profound Water Palace, combined with our three teams and Blood Bat’s forces, plus the geographical advantage of Yellow Springs Canal, we can ensure he doesn’t leave."
Alvarez’s voice silently reached Bron’s ear, "Gangxin divided actions with the Natives, abandoning Dongbo Cheng and Beiming Jihu, two top strongmen, is truly arrogant. When a person is to perish, they must first swell! I see Gangxin is swelling, thinking he’s invincible in the world!"
Tito also spoke, transmitting a voice: "Gangxin not coming is one thing, when he really comes, I definitely want to weigh him properly."
Bron sighed, having to repeat again: "The bugs at the Star-Picking Tower misled me!"
...
On the Arrow Boat.
Winged Tooth Beast King Da Fei flew ahead, pulling a rope with his claws, towing the Arrow Boat speeding across the water.
The atmosphere on the Arrow Boat was a bit stifling.
Rein hadn’t gotten over the melancholy of Muro’s departure.
"We’re almost at the Profound Water Palace."
Bai Pu recalled Winged Tooth Beast King Da Fei, leaving only Leia to propel the Arrow Boat forward.
"These days, from the Corruption Forest to the Eternal Night Dark Sea, we’ve accumulated some Spoils Treasure Chests. Rather than enjoying alone, how about sharing the joy? Care to witness?"
In front of Bai Pu, seven or eight Treasure Chests were lined up, the most eye-catching naturally being the Dark Gold Treasure Chest from the Tree Demon Lord at the Demon Bone Dao.
Of course, Rein didn’t know it was the Tree Demon Lord’s Treasure Chest, as Bai Pu had hidden his strength, claiming he had shaken the Tree Demon Lord off.
Rein knew Bai Pu wanted to open the Treasure Chest to liven up the atmosphere and help him get out of his negative emotions. He took a deep breath, revitalized his spirit, and smiled saying:
"When I was in the Tier One World fighting monsters, Treasure Chests rarely dropped, this time I must take a good look. If there’s anything suitable for the three of us... if there’s something suitable for me or Leia, we’ll buy it with Silver Dragon Coins."
Rein saying "the three of us" had become a habit, which couldn’t be changed for the moment.
Bai Pu smiled and began to open, one by one, extracting Spoils Cards from the lowest Silver Treasure Chest.
Items from the Silver Treasure Chest were nothing special, mostly Demon bones, flesh, and other materials.
Bai Pu casually fed them to [The Demon Spider Empress’s Warning], the Demon Ghost Shield that, when digesting these demon material spoils, continually enhanced the Shield’s base, resulting in an increased "Durability Limit" in a data-driven perspective.
After all, being Demon materials dropped under difficulty 9.2, it was quite a supplement.
However, the Shield devouring Demon corpses would not increase the Durability Limit, only restore lost durability.
Then came the Dark Gold Treasure Chest dropped by the Tree Demon. This large water box gave Bai Pu 120,000 Spiritual Points and a Wonder [Twisted Root].
[Twisted Root: Spirit Realm Wonder. Upon use, there is a probability of comprehending Mystical Arts in the space system (success rate relates to your Comprehension and the number of Arts already comprehended).]
