41: Three Kingdoms Support!
As night fell, a spatial fluctuation suddenly flashed somewhere in Fukushima.
Mao Tu, Yang Kaishan, Ye Long, and Huang Yu were teleported over.
After steadying herself, Mao Tu yawned and smiled at the three:
"This time, we have three missions."
"First, prevent the Calamity Court from activating the Critical Point; second, eliminate a natural disaster-level monster, the Abyssal Mother Worm; third, if anyone encounters danger, save them if possible."
Among these three missions, the first two were particularly important.
The first was set to disrupt the situation, while the second was because Su Yi, through the perspective of his clone, discovered something that stunned him:
The strongest person in Little Days—the Sword Saint—was instantly killed by the Flame Demon!
This incident left Su Yi stunned, and at the same time, he realized a problem: the strength of Little Days seemed much weaker than imagined.
Previously, Su Yi chose three purple-level monsters precisely because he saw Zhu Yan's strength and the Iron Wall, which was suspected to be from the Beacon Country, thinking that the overall strength of this world was very strong.
Logically speaking, as a major country, Little Days should have cultivated several experts stronger than Zhu Yan.
But a few similar ones should be no problem, right?
After all, based on previous novel-reading experiences, the country where the protagonist is located is generally not weak, but rather mid-to-low tier.
However, reality completely overturned Su Yi's predictions—the Sword Saint, who was hyped as divine in Little Days, was so vulnerable!
Let alone compared to Zhu Yan, even the ninth figure of the Zhurong Department—Liaoyuan Xingzhong!
Was not as good.
This directly disrupted Su Yi's plan.
Although the Snow Woman and the Flame Demon were powerful, their positions were relatively fixed; the Snow Woman would generally not move easily.
The Flame Demon was restrained by Evil Spirits, making it not so easy to move.
However, the Abyssal Mother Worm was completely different!
Once it hatched, with the strength currently displayed by Little Days, there was no doubt that the country would be annihilated.
If such a situation truly occurred, what would happen to Su Yi's reputation points?
One must know that Su Yi had already seen during this period that the Flame Demon's volcanic eruption caused his reputation to drop slightly.
Even if it had risen back up.
But it also made Su Yi understand that the system really didn't count the reputation of dead people.
Therefore, Su Yi decided to send them to deal with this problem.
Although completely eliminating the Abyssal Mother Worm was almost impossible.
This monster was, after all, created with purple-level materials, but at least they had to buy time, weaken its power, and prevent it from exerting its full strength.
After listening to Mao Tu's words, the expressions of the three were all different.
Yang Kaishan appeared calm and unperturbed.
Huang Yu frowned but did not object.
However, Ye Long stepped forward directly and said firmly:
"The first two missions are fine, but the last one, asking me to save the Little Days, is absolutely impossible!"
Ye Long's strong stance immediately attracted the attention of the other three; everyone looked at him.
Mao Tu observed the atmosphere and found that Huang Yu also seemed reluctant about the last mission.
After thinking for a moment, Mao Tu said casually:
"Oh, alright then."
"Since you don't want to do it, the last requirement is canceled, and it will be changed to killing more monsters."
"Is that alright now?"
Mao Tu's words stunned the three, especially Ye Long.
He had originally prepared himself to accept punishment, but he didn't expect the mission to be modified so easily.
After exhaling a sigh of relief, Ye Long secretly rejoiced: as long as he didn't have to save the Little Days, it was fine.
Ye Long came from an ancient aristocratic family, which once held a certain status in Great Xia.
However, a war a hundred years ago nearly wiped out his family, leaving only his direct lineage as the sole heir.
Even worse, his parents went missing while visiting Little Days and have been unheard of ever since.
It was this background that filled Ye Long with deep hatred for Little Days.
As for Huang Yu, he was a hot-blooded young man.
When Yang Kaishan was on the verge of death, it was he and another companion who rushed out and dragged Yang Kaishan back.
Later, when he learned that awakening extraordinary abilities required experiencing life-and-death moments, Huang Yu was the first to step forward and try.
Someone as hot-blooded as him, who also loved watching patriotic dramas, naturally harbored strong hatred for Little Days.
It was just not as intense as Ye Long's.
Mao Tu glanced at the time and turned to the three, saying:
"There's still some time before the Abyssal Mother Worm appears."
"Now, the three of you go and find the people from the Calamity Court first."
"Just send a signal once you find them; there's no need to fight them head-on."
"Don't worry, the main force will arrive soon!"
With that, Mao Tu clapped her hands, signaling everyone to take action.
The three looked at each other, then nodded and dispersed, beginning their mission.
In contrast, the Calamity Court only dispatched four people.
Whereas most of the new members of the Star Constellation Society had arrived.
After all, the people of the Calamity Court were 'one less for each one that dies,' but the members of the Star Constellation Society were all willing to go all out, completely unafraid of sacrifice.
However, because teleportation required time, they could only come in batches.
Not long after Yang Kaishan and the other two left, You Ji arrived at the scene with three other people.
He briefly greeted Mao Tu, then, following the previous procedure, assigned the tasks and explained the situation to the newly arrived three.
...
"How could the Sword Saint, who was so strong, just die like that?"
"Speak! Are you lying about the intelligence?"
At this moment, Tanaka Katsuyu's eyes were bloodshot, and he tightly gripped the neck of the person who came to report, refusing to let go.
Clearly, he still couldn't accept the Sword Saint's death.
The person being held had a flushed face, clearly gasping for air.
"Officer Tanaka!"
Just then, a middle-aged man walked over.
This man had a small mustache under his nose and appeared calm and composed.
"This person isn't lying," the mustached man said, "but the Sword Saint wasn't killed by that monster."
"When we found the Sword Saint, he had two wounds each on his chest and head; it was clear someone took advantage of his weakness to strike."
"Nani?!"
Tanaka Katsuyu abruptly released his grip and staggered back two steps. "Are you saying... someone ambushed Lord Sword Saint?!"
The mustached man nodded grimly: "And this person is very cunning."
"We noticed that the Sword Saint's disciple was thrown far away."
"It's very likely that the other party threatened the Sword Saint with his disciple; otherwise, with the Sword Saint's strength, how could he have fallen so quickly?"
"Baka!"
Tanaka Katsuyu punched the nearby wall, and the concrete instantly cracked.
"No matter who it is, find them for me!"
He roared, "We must root out these despicable ambushers!"
Before he finished speaking, "Boom!!!" The volcano erupted again, a thousand-meter-high pillar of fire shooting straight into the sky.
The already dim sky was now dyed crimson.
Tanaka Katsuyu's face grew even uglier at this sight.
"Officer Tanaka, good news!"
Just then, the mustached man said with a hint of excitement.
Tanaka Katsuyu turned his head, glanced at him, and said in an unfriendly tone:
"You'd better have good news."
The mustached man quickly said: "Three countries have already responded to the distress signal we sent to the International Federation!"
"And they have clearly stated that they will come to support us."
Upon hearing this, Tanaka Katsuyu's eyes lit up, and he quickly pressed:
"Which three countries?"
The mustached man flipped through the documents in his hand and replied:
"Great Xia has sent Ember Sky Son, the Beacon Country has dispatched the Space Grand Magister, and the Northern Han Empire has sent the Storm Empress!"
