He knew the human was too crafty and had suffered a major loss before, which is why he followed at a great distance, hiding in the wilderness, unwilling to leave yet not daring to approach rashly, fearful of another “Star Tower lightning head-touch kill.”
However, this ti, Lance truly felt that the Empress’s aura had been lingering in the wilderness for a long ti.
Clearly, the other party must have let down their guard!
Thus, he struck swiftly and rushed over.
But he found that the aura had disappeared, and he did not see Xu Shu himself, who he’d hoped to find.
Instead, within the human border line and just a few inches away, was a bizarre non-human creature tied up mysteriously.
So, he carefully approached, standing silently outside and watched for a while, his heart chilling.
He found that with his insight, he was also unable to identify what species this creature belonged to.
It looked sowhat like the Beauty Snake, but there were quite a few differences, which baffled Lance greatly.
However, from the playful style of the binding on the other side, Lance discerned in an instant that this must be the human, relying on the Empress’s power, to have crossed a super-friendship and interspecies relationship with this creature.
The legendary master-servant binding play?
Despicable human, playing quite the wild gas!
Lance cursed inwardly.
Had it been anyone else, he wouldn’t have speculated so.
But with that person, he knew it must be the case.
After all, it was soone who appeared noble and brave on the outside but was sinister and cunning to the bone!
Lance now wished he could slap his forr self.
To trust such a perverse individual, who openly enjoyed carnal pleasures with another female of his species in front of many, and miss the golden opportunity to save the Empress.
How despicable!
He must make up for his mistake!
“…” Lance looked down at Nie Qiba.
“…” Nie Qiba also looked back at Lance with full hostility.
Two different species of non-human creatures, so close at hand, stood across the border of Star Tower, watching each other.
Sotis, the so-called impregnable barrier is just such a line.
Nie Qiba was inside the border line, while Lance was outside.
The two were only two ters apart; though they could hear and see each other, neither could fully sense the other’s aura – aside from the natural transmission of light and sound, anything involving “corrosive sources” from monsters, were completely blocked by the seemingly ordinary border line.
This, of course, included “the aura of monsters.”
At this mont, the two parties who had just t had almost no communication, but they had already identified each other as Xu Shu’s reinforcents.
‘But still, I need to confirm it.’
At this mont, Lance, “drawn by the scent,” was after all a superior being, and he still had so doubts about this strange situation.
He stared intently at the “subjugated, willingly human-servant” lowly creature in front of him, thought briefly, and took the initiative to speak in a cold tone, “Your master?
Nothing but a coward who shows one face in public and another in private, who only dares to swagger around from the shadowy depths.”
Of course, Lance was describing Xu Shu as he saw him.
However, the aning transford when it reached Nie Qiba’s ears.
What was this about showing one face in public and another in private, hiding in the shadows?
This was like chastising a monk in front of a bald head!
Upon hearing this, Nie Qiba imdiately beca furious, fearing that her rash actions would provoke the other side to cross the red line and trigger the punitive attack, directly killing her great master.
Thus, she could only dare to curse vehently, “Damn bug, how dare you insult my master like this, I curse you, may you die a terrible death, may your kind be forever extinct…”
Listening to the snake-man-like creature curse in broken human language, Lance was not angry but instead certain in his heart.
“Quick-tempered and fiercely defensive of their master’s dignity?
No, this is more like that human boy’s tactic to enrage , to enter the border line, haha…
it seems my guess was right…”
Lance felt clear-headed, uninterested in trading insults, unable to kill her in there, and fighting with words alone was simply too degrading – of course, this also beca one of the reasons he simply assud Nie Qiba was Xu Shu’s helper.
Because “standing inside the border line to enrage him” was a tactic all too familiar to him.
Wait, she couldn’t also have that kind of special ability to ambush and forcefully drive to anger, could she?
Recalling the scene where he had been duped, Lance suddenly beca vigilant, looking around.
Seeing no trace of Xu Shu, he quickly retreated, hid fifty ters away in a tuft of grass, and disappeared from sight.
Nie Qiba, seeing him retreat to a distance, guessed he was probably continuing to monitor her from sowhere inconspicuous.
Since he chose not to co and seek trouble, and she was tired of cursing, she gradually fell silent.
The tense atmosphere that had been on a knife-edge just monts ago, returned to calmness.
Sowhat further away, so low-level monsters crawled out of their caves, began their happy mutual slaughter for food, and after finishing, so started to engage in propagation activities, with relentless howling sounds.
Bathed in the early sunlight past seven in the morning, the wilderness was brimming with the scent of life,…
…
…
At this mont, Xu Shu, of course, had no idea that his old nesis Lance had appeared above and engaged in a cunning battle of wits with Nie Qiba.
