“Could this White Name have fled? There’s still no news after so long. Could something have happened?”
On the other side of the river, the three werewolf brothers were at their wits’ end.
They were waiting for the good news from ahead. Logically speaking, White Bear alone should be enough to deal with that small situation. The humans in front were not on guard either. But why was it taking so long? It had been so long, but there was still no news from the front. Could something have happened?
“Big Brother, I think you’re thinking too much,” the second brother said proudly. “You don’t understand White Name.”
The second brother only said this before revealing an unfathomable smile.
The third brother continued, “Second Brother is right. White Name is very timid. Don’t expect him to produce any results so quickly. He might be hiding somewhere now.”
That was right. After all, it had been so long, but there was no news at all. This was very worrying.
“If we let him stall like this, we don’t know how long our plan will take. I don’t think we can wait any longer. We have to do it quickly.”
“But Big Brother, that guy didn’t send any news back. Isn’t it not safe for us to act rashly? Remember, before we left, Mother specially instructed us to win steadily. I’m afraid this doesn’t match Mother’s instructions.
“Big Brother, in my opinion, we should wait a little longer. Perhaps White Name is about to make a move. Although that kid is a bastard, he’s not that ridiculous. He should still be useful at the critical moment. We should wait a little longer.”
“I don’t have time to delay anymore. We have to do it as soon as possible. There’s been no news from him for a long time. We have to think of a way. Perhaps we can send someone to sneak in and ask him about the situation and see what happened.”
The second and third brothers looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other’s eyes.
“I knew I shouldn’t have brought this bastard out. This kid was born a coward. No matter where he goes, he’s still a coward. Yet, I brought him here and ruined our plans. Now, I even have to clean up after him.”
The big brother was not in the mood to care about their complaints. He immediately began to distribute their missions.
“I can’t leave now. Go to Sea City on my behalf and see what White Name is doing in Sea City. If he’s suspected of being lazy, report it to Mother when you return.”
The second brother loosened his shoulders helplessly. This matter had fallen on him. He could not escape even if he wanted to.
Now, tens of thousands of troops were waiting behind them. If this continued, who knew how long it would take? It would probably be too late when the news came back. This was not good news for them.
“How’s the construction of the human fortress?”
The third brother raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was surprised to think of this.
“These people all seem to be in a daze. Last time, the fortress was destroyed like that. Not only did they not give up on building the fortress, but they even reinforced it. I went to take a simple look last time. The strength of the entire fortress is several levels stronger than before.”
The werewolf leader felt that something was wrong. It seemed that the situation they were facing this time was much more difficult than he had imagined. But what went wrong? Logically speaking, it shouldn’t have gone wrong.
The human race only had one expert that they could take out. How could they do this? Could it be that humans had more than one expert?
The big brother thought to himself that this seemed to be the best explanation. Otherwise, they really could not find any other explanation. It was impossible for humans to reach this level alone. This was simply a fantasy.
“Big Brother, if it really doesn’t work out, I’ll bring a team of people and sneak in while they’re resting and destroy their fortress again. There’s nothing to worry about. Those guys are just pretending.”
The big brother pondered silently for a moment and instructed his two brothers, “Second Brother, set off for Sea City immediately. You must figure out the situation in Sea City as soon as possible. It’s best to find White Name quickly. No matter where he is now, you must find him. There must be no mistakes.”
“Yes, Big Brother.”
“Yes, Third Brother.”
“Big Brother.”
“Take advantage of the night to sneak into the fortress and destroy the core array formation. Try not to expose yourself. As long as you destroy the core array formation, you can retreat. Don’t delay inside for too long. It won’t be easy to come out if you fall into the enemy’s ambush.”
The corners of the third brother’s mouth curled up into a smile.
“Big Brother, don’t worry. I’ve been watching there for a few days. None of those humans are strong. In my opinion, it’s not that difficult at all. I can deal with them easily. Big Brother, just wait for my good news.”
“Don’t underestimate your enemy.”
“Big Brother, don’t worry. I’m not the kind of person who underestimates the enemy. Although I do look down on these humans, staying alive is still the most important thing. I’ll definitely come back safely.”
After Da Lang gave the orders, he seemed to be slightly relieved. However, he still vaguely felt that something was wrong. This bad feeling had been lingering in his heart since he arrived, making him feel very uncomfortable.
However, there was nothing to worry about. It was just some humans.
The humans in the Demon Realm were weak to begin with. A good opportunity had presented itself before them, and they had to make good use of this to control the entire Demon Realm. They would not let go of such an excellent opportunity so easily.
After the mission was divided up, Da Lang barely managed to calm the restless feeling in his heart. He comforted himself and said that everything would be fine. Everything would be fine. Nothing would go wrong.
Second Brother and Third Brother’s figures flashed and disappeared from this narrow space.
When they reappeared, they were hundreds of miles away.
Er Lang looked up at the plaque hanging high on the city tower and carefully sensed the aura that kept appearing inside.
These guys were very lively. These people were much stronger than the data they had obtained previously.
It could be seen that their strength had increased greatly in such a short period of time. This was a very surprising thing. These people were really capable. They were able to operate a deserted city to this extent. It had to be said that they were quite capable.
As Er Lang walked in the wide city, he sized up the buildings beside him. He thought that if he took this place for himself, he could do many transactions. This was a good idea.
There was no way to build such a lively market in their narrow cave. Looking at the lively scene in Sea City, Er Lang had already begun to plan the territory he could possess in the future. It was only a matter of time before he took down this place.
However, why was there no news of White Name at all? He had been searching here for a long time, but he still could not find any clues.
After walking for about two hours, Er Lang vaguely felt that something was wrong. Logically speaking, White Name should have rushed over when he must have noticed the signal that he released the moment he stepped into the city.
But why was there no news from him after so long? What happened? Could something have happened?
Er Lang vaguely felt that something was wrong, but things shouldn’t be that bad. He kept releasing signals to find White Name, but the more he tried, the more his heart sank. All the signals he released did not respond. It was like a stone sinking into the sea. There was no feedback at all.
What had happened?
Just as he was feeling conflicted, an unfamiliar young man suddenly appeared in front of him. This person looked quite young, only in his early twenties. He was smiling as he walked over, as if he was very familiar with Er Lang.
“Brother.”
Li Yuanqing smiled at the demon general in front of him.
Er Lang sized Li Yuanqing up in disdain and said impatiently, “What do you do? Don’t disturb me, understand?”
“Sir, it seems to me that this is your first time in Sea City. You’re not familiar with this place?”
“What does it have to do with you, kid? If you keep swaying in front of me, I’ll slap you into pieces. No one will be able to save you then.”
Li Yuanqing held his stomach and laughed for a while. Er Lang was so angry that he wanted to kill him. However, this kid was causing trouble with him. If he attacked directly in the city, he was afraid that he would arouse suspicion.
After all, the Great City Protection Formation of Sea City was famous. Their array master was especially powerful.
“Sir, why do you keep saying these words of fighting and killing? I’m here to give a friendly suggestion. If you don’t want to hear it, then don’t listen. But if you’re interested, you can come with me. This is a very good deal for both of us. Why are you so resistant?”
“Don’t tell me useless things. You don’t have what I want.”
“How do you know if I have it or not if you didn’t ask? I think I have something that you value very much.”
Li Yuanqing looked around mysteriously and suddenly leaned towards Er Lang. Er Lang subconsciously wanted to retreat, but he did not dodge. It seemed like this kid did not dare to play any strange tricks here. If he dared to play any tricks here, his life would fly away in the next second.
Li Yuanqing took the opportunity to whisper in his ear, “If you want to know where that demon is now, follow me.”
After Li Yuanqing finished speaking, he left mysteriously. Er Lang looked in the direction Li Yuanqing left in confusion, not knowing if he should believe this guy.
Did this kid really know something? If he didn’t know, how could he say those words? Why?
There was no time to think too much. Li Yuanqing had already turned the corner, and he looked back at him provocatively, as if he would be a coward if he did not follow.
Er Lang did not have time to think carefully. He followed without saying anything. The two of them entered a small alley. It was twisted and it was unknown how long they had been walking.
Not long after, the two of them arrived at a remote area.
This place was almost at the foot of the city wall outside. It was a blind spot in the defense. No one was watching here, and it was quiet all around.
Er Lang looked unhappily at Li Yuanqing, who had stopped in front.
“Kid, we’ve been walking for so long. It’s time to tell me why you let me come here,” Er Lang said. He didn’t forget to remind him, “I have to remind you that if you can’t produce what I want, you should know what will happen to you. I advise you not to play those tricks.”
Li Yuanqing turned around and looked at Er Lang behind him.
Er Lang vaguely felt that there seemed to be a strange thing flashing past that kid’s eyes. The internal energy light only existed for a moment before disappearing. He was not sure if he was wrong, but this guy was indeed strange.
Li Yuanqing slowly walked towards him and put on a fawning smile. He looked at Erlang and said, “Second-in-charge, I was ordered to welcome you. It’s not a place to talk outside. Let’s go somewhere else now.”
“What do you mean? Who exactly are you?”
“To be honest, I’m an assistant hired by General White here. I’m in charge of the food, clothes, accommodation, and transportation here for him.”
“Why hasn’t White Name sent any useful news back yet? What is he doing here?”
When he heard that it was related to White Name, Er Lang immediately couldn’t be angry anymore and came out to question angrily.
Li Yuanqing smiled and explained, “General White is currently brewing a huge plan. As long as this plan works, we will be able to successfully take down Sea City. We are thinking of a way to break through the core array formation here. We’re just short of the last bit. As long as it succeeds, General White will naturally report it to the higher-ups. It’s just that we’re still a little lacking in some things.”
“Nonsense!” Er Lang berated. “We asked him to come here to investigate. As long as he investigates the news clearly and brings it back, his mission will be completed. At that time, he won’t lose his credit. Why must he put on so much show here?”
