87: Watching from the sidelines
"Yes, Family Head!"
His subordinate nodded, a hint of excitement still on his Face.
The World Purifying Society's large-scale mobilization likely meant they had found traces of a dragon egg.
If their Li family could obtain a dragon egg, they would completely take off.
After receiving confirmation from his subordinate, the Li Family Head stood up and gave his orders:
"Notify our people to converge there!"
"No matter what Opportunity it is, we must seize it!"
"Also, tell them to look out for Lin Xingyu and the others. If found, kill them immediately!"
"Yes! Family Head!"
...In Secret Realm No. 4399.
After Luo Chengan and Lin Xingyu became friends, he bid farewell to the others and led his team away.
He had already prepared everything according to his premonition.
Now, he only needed to wait for the Opportunity to arrive.
With his task complete, he planned to explore Secret Realm No. 4399 and search for traces of a dragon egg.
Wang Chiyao looked at the retreating figures of Tang Xiaorou and the others with a sigh.
They were all classmates, yet in just a few days, the gap between them had grown so wide.
She had seen Tang Xiaorou's helpless expression when facing danger just now.
Without strength, she might also be as helpless as Tang Xiaorou.
All of this was thanks to Lin Xingyu...
"Alas, what a pity!"
Wang Ledian sighed, feeling vexed.
He had originally wanted to show off in front of his old classmates.
But after all that effort, he had ended up being the foil.
"Alright, quickly clean up the battlefield. We still need to continue grinding!"
Lin Xingyu clapped his hands, interrupting their sighs.
Grinding and leveling up were more important.
Everything else was superficial; being powerful oneself was the true Dao!
"Let's go, let's go!"
"Haha, so much loot, we're rich again!"
"evolution fruit, here I come!"
Everyone immediately sprang into action, full of enthusiasm.
With the assistance of the Puppet, the battlefield was cleaned up very quickly.
A large amount of spirit crystals and spirit seeds were collected by them.
The sharp claws and teeth of the Shadow Cats were removed to be used as Materials for producing Puppets.
The corpses were given to the World Tree to devour, transforming into evolution fruit.
The Humanoid Puppets suffered minimal losses this time, but the Explosion Bees were consumed quite a bit.
Fortunately, they were cheap enough that many more could be made.
After eating the evolution fruit, everyone's strength increased significantly again.
Just as they were about to continue forward, the Spirit Sniffing Sable suddenly let out a "squeak, squeak" sound.
"Something's happening!"
Wang Chiyao's expression changed.
The Spirit Sniffing Sable could sense danger, so she would release the little fellow whenever they weren't in combat.
"Boom boom boom—"
The next second, explosions rang out in the distance.
This was the Explosion Bees on outer patrol encountering enemies...
Not long ago.
On Douling Short Video, a live stream called [Hunting Hour] appeared.
Many people curiously clicked in and found a group of Black Robed Men wearing vertical-eyed masks.
The Black Robed Men were numerous and were rushing towards the dense forest ahead.
"Isn't this the World Purifying Society? Why do they love live streaming so much?"
"Yeah, what are they going to hunt this time?"
"Are they really going to enter the entertainment industry?"
"The last live stream was pretty good, hope this one doesn't disappoint me!"
"Look, it exploded! It's climax from the start, truly them!"
...In the footage, the Black Robed Men had not gone far before they were ambushed by Explosion Bees.
Immediately, they were blown helter-skelter.
"Not good, an ambush!"
"Holy crap, what the hell is this thing?"
"Don't panic, keep advancing!"
These Explosion Bees were only for alert purposes, and not too many were deployed.
They posed little threat to the World Purifying Society, only making them lose some Face.
However, before they could continue forward.
A group of people suddenly emerged from their diagonal rear, launching a frenzied attack on them.
"It's the Barren Alliance!"
"These lunatics!"
The World Purifying Society was forced to fight, engaging in battle with the Barren Alliance.
The live stream instantly erupted.
"I have to say, the World Purifying Society really understands live streaming, so explosive right from the start!"
"Looking at their appearance, the other party must be Mutated Ones, right? Could it be the Barren Alliance?"
"It's the Barren Alliance. How did these two factions start fighting?"
"Never mind, none of them are good people anyway, we'll just watch the show!"
"Haha, indeed. I reiterate, while the show effect is great, I will not be sending any gifts!"
...Outside Starfall City, World Purifying Society base.
"What is the Barren Alliance doing?"
Zhou Jin, the base's person in charge, was watching the live stream with a grim expression.
The appearance of these lunatics had completely disrupted his plans.
In the past, he hated these people, but he had no way to deal with them.
Marquis Lie Hu was like a great mountain, crushing them until they couldn't breathe.
Recently, they had not dared to gather on a large scale, precisely because they feared being annihilated by Marquis Lie Hu.
However, due to the previous two live stream incidents, headquarters was very displeased with them.
Even the Marquis-level Expert sent as reinforcement was recalled halfway.
Having finally found an Opportunity to regain Face, this time there could be no mistakes!
This time they were in Secret Realm No. 4399, and Marquis Lie Hu couldn't enter.
Thinking of this, Zhou Jin's expression hardened, and he gave the order:
"Notify them to go all out and eliminate the Barren Alliance!"
"This time, in front of the live stream, we must regain Face and re-establish the image of our World Purifying Society!"
He was confident that his subordinates could handle the Barren Alliance.
The Barren Alliance had been looking for trouble recently, and he had prepared a big gift for them.
Now was the time for that thing to take effect.
Immediately after, he dialed the communication with headquarters, requesting reinforcements again.
After this battle, the Barren Alliance would surely suffer heavy losses, and he needed to guard against Marquis Lie Hu's retaliation.
To better complete the task of receiving the Three-Eyed Clan, wasn't it reasonable to ask headquarters for a Marquis-level Expert?
...Secret Realm No. 4399.
Lin Xingyu and the others stared at the scene before them, dumbfounded.
"The World Purifying Society and the Barren Alliance are fighting. Should we go join the fun?"
Wang Ledian was eager to try on the side.
After hearing the explosions, they rushed over.
They had originally thought there was an enemy ambush, but never expected to see this scene.
"No hurry, we'll just collect their corpses in the end!"
Lin Xingyu shook his head. It was good that they were fighting among themselves; it saved him a lot of trouble.
Immediately after, he took out a pile of snacks and distributed them to everyone.
"Let them fight slowly, we'll watch the show from the side!"
"Haha, that's right. Should we ask Sister Lan to cook us a couple of dishes and have a drink here?"
"Let's not, that would be too arrogant!"
Wang Ledian's words, however, reminded Lin Xingyu.
Last time, he had put the Thunder Patterned Bee honey into the thousand star gourd and mixed it with nourishing spirit wine; it should be brewed by now.
"Come taste my newly brewed spirit brew, with Thunder Patterned Bee honey added."
He opened the thousand star gourd and poured a cup for everyone.
[startling thunder brew]
[Introduction: A uniquely flavored spirit brew that restores spiritual power and improves Physique. Long-term consumption has a chance to grant a thunder-attribute battle Physique.]
"Battle Physique?"
Lin Xingyu's Face lit up with joy.
A battle Physique was a good thing; it could comprehensively enhance one's combat power.
