Chapter 1807 - 1810: Summoning the Local Tyrant
Gourd Island.
Core.
"Found it."
Lu Xiaobu squinted his eyes, staring at a spot on the wall and spoke.
"Found what?"
Xiaolajiao, who was accompanying Lu Xiaobu, was puzzled, not knowing what Lu Xiaobu was talking about.
"Found a group of deihole creatures."
Lu Xiaobu laughed.
Then, he reached out and picked up the World Tree Seed that was now invisible.
Others might not be able to find this thing, but having seen several, even various different forms of World Tree Seeds, it wasn’t difficult for him. Once he saw it, he was sure to find it.
"What is it?"
Xiaolajiao pried open Lu Xiaobu’s hand to try hard to see, but she saw nothing.
Her cultivation was too low; she couldn’t see anything.
"You can’t see it."
Lu Xiaobu chuckled.
Then, he used his Divine Thought on the World Tree Seed: "Head snake, why don’t you come out and meet an old friend?"
"Head snake, why don’t you come out and meet an old friend?"
"Head snake, why don’t you come out and meet an old friend?"
The voice repeatedly penetrated into the World Tree Seed. Lu Xiaobu believed the other party could definitely hear it, just like his connection with the World Tree Seed he placed on the Blood Continent.
...
Gourd Island!
A thousand meters below the surface where normal humans live!
Contrary to what normal people would think, instead of thick layers of soil here, there’s an unimaginably large void!
This void is obviously man-made, its structure designed layer by layer, hole within hole.
And on the edges of this gigantic cave, many people are tirelessly digging.
Unlike normal people, the people here are shorter in stature, with limbs that are clearly stronger.
And their facial features differ from normal humans, having noticeably large noses and mouths, with much sharper teeth.
At the center of the cave is a throne, and upon it sits a person.
This person is none other than the former black market boss — Sao Bao, or rather, Head Snake!
However, at this moment, Head Snake is visibly different from the Sao Bao previously seen. He has large nose and mouth like those busy people, appearing somewhat menacing.
Head Snake is resting with closed eyes.
Logically, opening the world channel and allowing his race to connect with a higher world should be a grand achievement.
But there was one thing that differed from his expectations.
Too fast!
The world above the surface changed too quickly.
After that war, the entire Gourd Island erupted in conflict, resulting in the chaos of Gourd Island gradually coming to an end.
This is something he absolutely didn’t want to see.
Though the deihole people had become accustomed to life underground for hundreds of years, that didn’t mean they were just prepared to come underground from the original world to this world!
They also wanted to reach the surface!
Previously, on the original Gourd Island, this was easily achievable. But now, it had become their most challenging task.
Alas!
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but recall the man named Lu Xiaobu!
Truly, a success because of Lu Xiaobu, defeat because of Lu Xiaobu!
And at this moment.
A deihole person was suddenly carried out.
This deihole person’s complexion already looked lifeless.
Yet Head Snake knew he was only in his thirties.
This was his younger brother!
He dedicated his Golden Core for the sake of their people!
"Why are you out?"
Head Snake quietly asked his brother.
"King! Someone is calling you!"
Head Snake’s brother coughed weakly twice and said, "He’s communicating with you through the World Tree Seed, he wants to see you."
"What?!"
Head Snake stood up abruptly!
Communicating with him through the World Tree Seed?!
Doesn’t this mean their life-sustaining World Tree Seed is in the other’s hand?!
Isn’t this the same as the other party holding their lifeline?!
"Who is he?!"
Head Snake’s expression became frighteningly dark, exposing teeth in their tribe’s attack stance!
"He says he’s your old friend named Lu Xiaobu!"
His brother coughed again, his complexion weak and terrifying: "I can feel that the World Tree Seed has already left the core. If it stays away much longer..."
Saying this, his brother looked towards the nearby channel!
Head Snake’s face grew even darker!
The opening of the channel essentially relied on the World Tree Seed stealing energy from the core.
Even his brother’s survival until now was due to those energy’s life-sustaining effects.
If the World Tree Seed stays away from the core for too long, then there will be trouble!
"Alright! I understand, you want to return, I’ll resolve this!"
Head Snake suppressed his inner turmoil and reassured his brother.
"Okay."
The brother nodded and was carried back again!
"Lu Xiaobu!"
Head Snake muttered grimly, gnashing his teeth, assigning each syllable to this name!
Speak of Cao Cao and he appears?!
He had just thought of this guy, and here he shows up?!
Even took the World Tree Seed?!
What does he want?!
Fight to the death?!
Yet, no matter the reason, it’s clear he now must confront it.
Head Snake took a deep breath and walked into a nearby room.
Soon after, his clothes changed to those once-white attire, and his large nose and mouth gradually shrank, eventually resembling the former face of Sao Bao!
"Phew!"
Head Snake exhaled to quell the turmoil within.
He couldn’t confront Lu Xiaobu with emotions.
Because he knows the terror of this ’friend’!
Especially after realizing the battle with Yiji Mansion was manipulated by this ’friend’, it became even more so!
He must face this terrifying guy with the calmest mindset.
After tidying himself, Head Snake raised his head.
Suddenly, the thick soil above his head began to separate.
And the land beneath his feet started to rise gradually.
Later, this soil rapidly pushed Head Snake upward within the earth.
...
Not long after.
Though emerging from the soil, Head Snake appeared on the surface without a speck of dust, wearing a kind smile.
He identified the direction and gracefully headed towards the core.
If unaware of the inner details, surely no one could perceive that this guy’s inner turmoil was almost murderous, choosing instead to believe he’s merely a noble young man out for leisure.
Lu Xiaobu, oh Lu Xiaobu!
Since you called me, here I am!
I hope you can treat this matter with reason, otherwise, I’m no pushover!
