"Oh."
"So it’s a low-level catastrophe."
The man said suddenly, his tone very calm, as if he was just stating a fact.
Even though there wasn’t much sarcasm in his voice, Nie Bao found it incredibly jarring to hear!
If he hadn’t been worried about the other detecting his spiritual fluctuations, he might have already cursed out loud in his mind.
Does he have to say it so harshly?
Would it kill him to use different words?
Low-level, low-level, your whole family is low-level.
Even in the Holy City, few people make such blatant remarks, after all, there’s usually no hatred or resentnt between people, so one wouldn’t deliberately dean the other; despite everything, they are catastrophe-level, basic respect is maintained.
"Where is your companion then?"
"You can’t be the only one here," the man continued to ask as if he didn’t notice the change in Nie Bao’s emotions, or perhaps he simply didn’t care.
Nie Bao thought for a mont, then imdiately replied, "We are all trapped in this mist, being hunted by strange creatures. The creatures here are tough, almost immortal. Sirs, can you lend a hand and rescue my companions?"
Even though he felt sowhat annoyed inside, for the sake of everyone getting out of this mist, he could only plead.
However, the man showed no sign of helping, asking on his own, "Have you encountered anything divine along the way, like... forces you cannot comprehend, or where did you get the soul crystal stones for imprisoning the strange creatures?"
As he spoke, he stared intently at Nie Bao.
This left Nie Bao quite puzzled, and he asked, "What... what divine things? Isn’t our imdiate priority to go to the Land of Origin of the Anomaly to find a way to stop the disaster from spreading?"
With this counter-question, it seed to directly anger the man, who scolded loudly, "Don’t speak nonsense!"
"You don’t need to teach us what to do!"
"Just answer what you’re asked truthfully, understood!"
In an instant.
Nie Bao realized that these people’s intentions were not pure, and their view of the support team like them was dismissive, making him extrely annoyed.
Nevertheless, the situation was beyond his control; he could only bear it and truthfully reveal everything he knew.
"There are nurous things beyond our understanding, like why we can’t get out of this mist, and why these strange creatures can’t be killed or destroyed..."
"As for the soul crystal stones, when special strange creatures are killed, it triggers the manifestation of the Otherworldly Heavenly Dao, then the Heavenly Dao of the real world attacks, extinguishing them, and leaves behind debris which can be extracted into soul crystal stones."
Though sowhat reluctant to tell him, he worried the man might have so thod to detect lies.
Thus.
He could only divulge everything.
"What kind of special strange creatures?"
"Creatures that are very similar to humans and can accurately show emotions like joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness."
"How many soul crystal stones have you obtained?"
"Uh... all of them have been turned into containers for imprisoning strange creatures."
After hearing this, the man looked back at the flagship yacht, seeing no other instructions, he waved his hand, "Alright then, don’t be greedy with those soul crystal stones, this special material is extrely precious and is a strategic resource of the Holy City."
Upon hearing this, even if Nie Bao were foolish, he could hear the intent of the other wanting to seize the soul crystal stones.
He was sure.
The soul crystal stones should belong to Su Qi, since most were acquired by relying on Su Qi’s power. Even the subsequent special strange creatures were killed through their combined efforts, but without Su Qi’s support, let alone soul crystal stones, they wouldn’t even be sure if they could survive.
Hence, Nie Bao hurriedly said, "Those soul crystals are all Su Qi’s..."
Halfway through his sentence, he was interrupted by the man’s cold, intimidating gaze, "Su Qi?"
"Are you talking about the one called ’Su God’? Where is he?"
"He... why are you looking for him?" Nie Bao’s heart trembled.
Boom!
In an instant.
The man glared, his terrifying spiritual thought bearing down like heaven’s pressure, and crushed Nie Bao.
This sudden attack was like a bolt from the blue for Nie Bao, his mouth tasted sweet as blood surged up.
"I told you, answer what you’re asked, this ti is a warning."
Suddenly.
Nie Bao was drenched in sweat.
This group wasn’t here to assist!
From beginning to end, they hadn’t asked anything about the disaster!
"Su Qi... is also separated from us, just around here. If you could..."
He seed to rember sothing, breaking off the latter half of his sentence.
The man sneered coldly, turned back to the yacht.
Then slowly left this place.
"At least he knows what not to say. Our Lord Lv Ji isn’t here to help them rescue people, especially not a re destruction-level transcendent; if they can’t even get out of this mist, there’s no need to recruit them."
"By the way, Lord Lv Ji, what shall we do next?"
Aboard the yacht, the man respectfully inquired.
Lv Ji sensed around slightly and said plainly, "This mist is indeed peculiar, but not yet to the extent of trapping ."
"Let’s get out of here first and see if according to their thod, we can collect a large amount of soul crystal stones."
"In this way, even if we don’t find the so-called Divine Opportunity, we can make a big profit, after all..."
Suddenly.
Lv Ji seed to realize sothing, anger flashed on his face.
"No way."
"That guy was lying just now!"
"How could a worthless being trapped here proactively go provoke strange creatures?"
Originally.
Nie Bao planned to quickly head back and inform everyone about these malicious people once they left, but on the way, he happened to encounter a strange creature, figuring since he was heading back anyway, he might as well lure it back and complete the task.
Thus, he seized the opportunity when the strange creature wasn’t paying attention and tossed a blade light.
But.
He hadn’t expected that this odd action would be perceived by Lv Ji.
...
anwhile.
Elsewhere, Su Qi was continuing to devour the high-quality Light Attribute Energy that had been converted in the sky, constantly accumulating power within himself.
With such a level of energy flooding him, even with his current physical strength, he almost couldn’t withstand it. Luckily, he had absorbed so Rule Power earlier, making his control over the energy more adept.
