Chapter 800 - 795: Are There Really So Many People as Cunning as Demons?
"A formidable enemy from the Demon Camp?!"
The other four exchanged glances.
"Gangxin, did you leave behind some remote detection method after the Turtle Ship left the Broken Island Reef of the Black Shark People and find out information from there? Or do you have spies in the Demon Camp, who informed you in advance of their secret plan?"
Rein asked. He truly couldn’t figure it out.
At this time, the Turtle Ship was already dozens of kilometers away from the Broken Island Reef. Foreseeing over such a distance was something even Leia couldn’t achieve.
"It’s normal that you can’t guess it, because you’re unaware of the underhanded activities of the Awakened team from the Star-Picking Tower."
Bai Pu briefly introduced the organizational structure of the Star-Picking Tower, then said, "The Star-Picking Tower holds a grudge against me. After I destroyed their foundation on the mother planet—we call it ’Earth’—the remnants fled to the Silver Heart Great World, and some hid in remote, hard-to-find places on Earth, colluding with external enemies to take my life, effectively becoming Earth’s traitors."
After a pause, Bai Pu continued, "I have reason to believe that these traitors colluded with the Burning Ash Bron team. Why would they want to take the Black Shark King Bead from the hands of the Black Shark People, even risking being discovered and detested by the Natives? Judging by Beiming Jihu’s reaction, the Star-Picking Tower group definitely didn’t take on a mission from the Guardian Camp Natives."
The four exchanged glances.
Salacia reacted first: "They... are doing a mission for the allies of the Demon Square? They are helping the Bron team!"
"Very possibly."
Bai Pu concluded, "Since the Star-Picking Tower people failed, and the Turtle Ship is far from the Broken Island Reef... it’s highly likely that the Demon Square allies of the Star-Picking Tower will come personally to snatch the Black Shark King Bead! It’s most probable that the Awakened team opposing me is the Bron team."
Salacia reacted the fastest, not because she was smarter than the other three, but because she trusted...or rather blindly trusted Bai Pu’s judgment more.
Even after Bai Pu revealed the answer, the three members of the Furnace Squad were still somewhat skeptical.
"The Arrow Boat is fast, it won’t take us long to reach the Broken Island Reef. By then, we’ll know."
Bai Pu took over from Salacia, infusing energy into the Arrow Boat Array through the Control Curse Seal.
The Arrow Boat sliced through the waves, and everyone fell silent.
...
"We’re almost there. Leia, prepare the Group Invisibility Technique, let’s approach quietly," Bai Pu ordered.
"...Should I use the Starlight Trace to check?" Leia asked.
"That works too... If we find nothing happening at the Broken Island Reef, we still need to keep our Group Invisibility Technique active and wait on the sidelines. The Demon Square might arrive late, but they will come. At the right moment, we’ll enter the battlefield, saving the Black Shark Race for the second time. I’m sure they will trust and appreciate us more deeply."
Bai Pu said calmly, "Moreover, we won’t have to wait long. Time is more precious than gold for the Awakened in the Spirit Realm, and the Star-Picking Tower’s Demon Square allies won’t waste time. Unless..."
"Unless what?" Rein’s heart stirred.
"Unless there’s a traitor among us, secretly passing information to the Demon side," Bai Pu said as if jokingly, "But don’t worry, from the time we boarded the Arrow Boat until now, I’ve been monitoring everyone’s every move on this boat. No one has acted suspiciously."
"Impressive..."
Salacia and Leia said in unison, then looked at each other in astonishment. Leia turned her eyes away awkwardly.
Bai Pu could tell through breathing, heartbeat, micro-expressions, and small movements that Salacia was genuinely impressed, while Leia was merely pretending to flatter.
Leia probably thought Bai Pu was bluffing, not believing he had such a terrifying level of observation to simultaneously monitor the subtle actions of the other four on the Arrow Boat while multitasking in sailing and conversation.
To hide her embarrassment, Leia quickly unfurled the Star Map Scroll, forming a Starlight Round Mirror.
Everyone directed their gaze towards it and clearly saw the scenery of the Broken Island Reef.
"!!!"
Except for Salacia, the other three widened their eyes, looking at Bai Pu as if seeing a ghost.
"Is there truly someone this wise and almost demonic?" Leia murmured, "I think you’d be better suited for my ’Astrologer’ profession..."
The Starlight Round Mirror displayed the Silent Movie scene of the Broken Island Reef.
At the Broken Island Reef, a one-sided slaughter was taking place!
...
Broken Island Reef.
A demon, beautiful from the waist up and spider from the waist down, swayed her seductive, spherical fat body, issuing an attack order.
Beside her, a large number of Swamp Demon Spiders trod over the water, charging towards the Black Shark People group on the Broken Island Reef.
This group of Swamp Demon Spiders possessed the ability to walk on water, maneuvering with lightning speed over the water faster than the Arrow Boat of the Black Tortoise Oath!
Of course, these Swamp Demon Spiders could only be considered "mounts." The real significant losses to the Black Shark People came from the Bron team riding on the backs of the Swamp Demon Spiders!
"Kill kill kill! Leave none alive!"
Bron laughed loudly, raising a hand to unleash a "Melt Core Fist," piercing through the chest of a Black Shark Warrior. Under the searing molten rock, even the spurting blood turned into a mist of blood vapor.
The Bron team, compared to the Star-Picking Tower team of "daytime," acted more bloodthirsty and dominant, not even bothering to negotiate before beginning their slaughter!
Because they had joined the Demon side.
This mission also had a Demon General—"Blood Weave" leading!
Blood Weave was that female demon, half-human, half-spider.
With the Demon General present, if Bron and others didn’t unleash their nature and behave bloodthirstily and insanely... they might be despised by the demons.
You’re so merciful that you don’t even dare to massacre a humanoid race. Could you be an undercover agent from the Guardian Camp?
Does the Demon Square need any reason to massacre a humanoid race?
The Black Shark Queen spun around in place, seeming trapped by an invisible air wall, preventing her escape.
"Don’t kill my people, please stop! What do you want? I can give you anything!"
Big teardrops fell from the Black Shark Queen, crystallizing into pearls as they touched the sea.
Rob, from a distance, caught one of the pearls and chuckled, "Mermaid’s Tears, what a treasure."
He then pointed to the Black Shark Queen: "Don’t waste your effort; even a Lord will find it hard to escape from my ’Dimension Corridor’! Once all your people are dead, it’ll be your turn!"
The surroundings were like hell on earth, with countless severed limbs of Black Shark People floating on the waves, the blood-stained sea attracting a swarm of bloodthirsty sharks.
"No need to wait! Rob, open the Dimension Corridor. I’ll kill her myself!"
Bron, clad in Immortal Melting Core armor, flew over like a meteor, landing heavily on the reef in front of the Black Shark Queen!
