74: Chapter 74 Discussing Countermeasures
As Tang Mo continued to browse down, an even more explosive piece of news appeared in his field of vision.
Just when the Dark-Winged White Tiger was running amok, the Heavenly Sword Bureau took action.
However, the final result was not recorded.
But since then, the figure of the Dark-Winged White Tiger had indeed not been seen again.
Could it be that the Heavenly Sword Bureau failed?
Or was the Dark-Winged White Tiger about to descend upon Jiangkou City not the same one recorded online?
Thinking of this, Tang Mo simply took out his Heavenly Sword Bureau token and told Wei Shenchou and the others everything he had heard.
Before long, the token transmitted Wei Shenchou's response.
"The Dark-Winged White Tiger's strength is too terrifying. Even the Heavenly Sword Bureau's encirclement and suppression back then couldn't kill it. At your current stage, you will definitely not be its match. Do not fight it head-on."
"In any case, the matter in Jiangkou City is left to you to handle entirely. Minimize casualties."
The token paused for a moment, then another voice transmission from Wei Shenchou came through: "If you find that it cannot be done, leave immediately! Do not make meaningless sacrifices!"
It seemed that the pressure on Wei Shenchou and his side was also significant, given that he even said something like letting Tang Mo escape alone.
With a heavy heart, Tang Mo came to the living room, looked at the family photo on the wall, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.
"I will never run!"
"I want to protect this city! I want to protect my home!"
A head-on confrontation—he certainly wasn't a match.
The Dark-Winged White Tiger could go head-to-head with people from the Heavenly Sword Bureau; if he faced it, there was absolutely no possibility of winning.
Even against the likes of the Commander of Jiangkou City Guard Army and Zhao Tianba, Tang Mo's chances of winning were extremely slim.
After all, Tang Mo was only level 22; it really wasn't much to look at.
Just at this moment, Tang Mo suddenly thought of someone: Tu Nie.
"In terms of experience and knowledge, he definitely far exceeds me. Perhaps he might have some good ideas."
"Yes, that's what I'll do."
Looking at the pitch-black sky outside the window, Tang Mo had to give up on the idea of going to find Tu Nie right now.
He wanted to go, but the soldiers guarding the city certainly wouldn't open the gates for him.
Helpless, he had to wait until tomorrow.
Just at dawn, Tang Mo had already set off for the city gates.
Professionals could be seen everywhere on the streets, all with smiles on their faces, looking very happy.
"Sigh, have you heard? From today on, all Professionals going to the Undead Mountain Dungeon can receive an entrance ticket."
"Really? That's quite a lot of dungeon entrance tickets. Since when did our Jiangkou City have such generous wealthy patrons?"
"I heard it was led by the commander of the Jiangkou City Guard Army, in conjunction with the Professional Management Association and the Tyrant Slaughter Guild. I guess they want to retain the Professionals in Jiangkou City."
"Didn't they say one of the Tyrant Slaughter Guild's guild masters ran away, and the other was arrested by the Guard Army?"
"Hey, they were released again. They were released this morning. Isn't this just a huge bleeding of funds?"
"Sigh, I have to say, it's still the rich people who have it!"
"Now I have to reconsider whether I still want to go to Ganning City."
"What's there to reconsider? If you leave when there are such good benefits, are you stupid?"
"Hahaha, that's right. You can't see such good benefits in other places. I'm not leaving."
Many people around who heard this dispelled the idea of leaving Jiangkou City; after all, such benefits were not available everywhere.
Tang Mo snorted coldly in his heart, turned around, and accelerated away.
"They are moving really fast. It seems I must hurry up as well."
The road was full of Professionals rushing to the Undead Mountain Dungeon; Tang Mo blended in, and nothing seemed different about him.
Arriving near the Undead Mountain, Tang Mo saw from afar that a temporarily built guard post had been added next to the dungeon entrance. Several soldiers in Guard Army uniforms were counting something.
It was crowded with Professionals standing nearby.
Tang Mo did not stay long. While everyone's eyes were on the guard post, he went straight around the crowd and walked north.
In just one night, the territories that originally belonged to beast kings like the Soul-Devouring Tiger King, the Dark Water Buffalo King, and the Howling Moon Wolf King had been occupied by other beast kings.
Anxious to get on his way, Tang Mo simply activated the Corrosive Poison Barrier and ran wildly. After a while, he arrived at the Arid Land Bear King's territory and met Tu Nie.
After hearing Tang Mo's account, Tu Nie also furrowed his brows.
"Give up. There will be no chance of winning."
"Even in my prime, I wouldn't be a match for the Dark-Winged White Tiger. Even the commander is someone from the Beast God Society; the entire Jiangkou City Guard Army can no longer be trusted."
"Jiangkou City didn't have many high-level Professionals to begin with. It's hard to have a chance of winning against the minions and fierce beasts under the Dark-Winged White Tiger, let alone contending with the Dark-Winged White Tiger itself. That is simply delivering sheep into a tiger's mouth."
"The urgent matter now is to evacuate the people of Jiangkou City to avoid causing greater casualties."
Tang Mo shook his head, "It's already too late. They are now trying every possible means to keep people in Jiangkou City."
"Even if we could convince them to leave Jiangkou City, I'm afraid it would attract their attention, and in the end, it would be counterproductive and make them act in advance."
Tang Mo's words directly shattered Tu Nie's last glimmer of hope. Since their goal was everyone in Jiangkou City, naturally, they wouldn't let them leave at will.
The atmosphere in the cave suddenly became oppressive. Tu Nie couldn't think of a better solution either. Tu Xiaoxia, who was on the side, suddenly spoke up.
"Then just fight them! Even if we die, we must pull out one of its whiskers to let that stinky tiger know that we humans are not to be bullied!"
Tu Nie looked gratified and laughed, saying, "Good! As expected of my, Tu Nie's, daughter. Well done!"
Then he pondered for a moment and continued, "Actually, it's not without a solution."
"The key to breaking the situation is still you."
"Me?"
Seeing Tu Nie pointing at him, Tang Mo asked with some confusion.
Tu Nie nodded solemnly.
"Right now, only you can leave Jiangkou City to bring reinforcements."
"With your current identity, finding some powerful helpers is naturally not a problem."
"Moreover, those people in Jiangkou City now are desperate for more people to come to Jiangkou City; it would be a breeze to let them sneak in quietly."
Tu Xiaoxia nodded repeatedly after hearing this, "Yes, if you recruit them under the identity of the Heavenly Sword Bureau, I'm afraid no one would dare not listen to you."
But Tang Mo did not agree after hearing this.
"The scale of this Beast God Society operation is very large. Even the people from the Heavenly Sword Bureau have to be dispersed to various places to deal with it. It's unknown whether other places can spare manpower at this time."
"Moreover, once many people participate, it will inevitably leak news. Once they are prepared, it will be even more unfavorable for us."
Actually, there was another reason Tang Mo didn't say.
That was that the people brought in might not necessarily be a match for the Dark-Winged White Tiger. After all, it was able to escape from the hands of the Heavenly Sword Bureau, which shows how strong it is.
Rashly letting people come to support might instead harm them.
