A global catastrophe swept the world, altering humanity's status as the world's hegemon. Zuo Qinglong awakened the "Eat Anything" System:
Eat a mosquito, awaken a vampiric abi...
…
"Captain, what's the harvest?"
Tian Baiguang couldn't help but speak, but he changed the topic.
Zuo Qinglong glanced at him, shook his head and said regretfully:
"Alas, I only killed one high-ranking emperor-level lizardman, but failed to kill their chief elder. What a pity..."
Tian Baiguang and the other three looked at each other.
Only killed one...high-level emperor?
That's high level! Higher level than all of them,
And he's one of the only two high-ranking members of the Rock Lizard Clan (not counting the Great Elder). The Captain is still not satisfied...
Zuo Qinglong explained:
"I'm afraid I won't have the chance to launch a surprise attack like today. I can only find another way..."
Li Xinghe said angrily:
"How come these lizardmen are so fertile? A single tribe has over a million people, and there are countless emperor-level warriors."
"Although there aren't many top-tier warriors, a single spit from one of them could drown us..."
"Moreover, a Rock Lizard Clan is only a drop in the ocean in the Demon Realm. If the entire Demon Realm begins to invade our world,"
"Wasn't it possible to destroy our world in the blink of an eye?"
Li Xinghe's words caused Zuo Qinglong and the other three to fall into silence.
This seemingly distant and impossible thing, if it really happens one day, with the strength of the human world, what else can we do except wait for death?
The atmosphere suddenly became very heavy.
Tian Baiguang glanced at the four silent people and said comfortingly:
"I think people are being overly concerned. This is not going to happen in the short term."
"When the demon world begins its full-scale invasion of our world, it will be unknown whether we are still alive..."
"There's a saying, 'After I die, even if there's a flood, it's okay!'"
"Even if we're still alive, there's still someone taller to hold up the sky if it collapses!"
Zuo Qinglong shook his head and said:
"Old Tian, what you said makes some sense. This mentality can be a way to relieve anxiety."
"It's just... a little too negative. Why wait for someone taller to hold up the sky when it falls? Why don't we become that tall person ourselves?"
"Instead of pinning your hopes on others, it is better to rely on yourself."
"Men of my generation should strive to be the best! Rather than die in obscurity, becoming a tiny speck of dust in the long river of history..."
"It would be better to fight for a bright future, transform yourself into a star, and illuminate the long river of history!"
hiss--
Li Xinghe and others all gasped.
Transform yourself into a star and illuminate the long river of history?
Use your tiny personal power to shake up history and leave a significant mark in history?
What bold words and what great ambitions are these?
Even Tian Baiguang, an old veteran, got excited after hearing this and wanted to rush in for a fight right away, not to mention Li Xinghe and Serlans, two rookies who were just starting out.
Of course, there is no need to mention the warmongering Chad Sheng. He can fight to his heart's content and leave his name in history. How can such a good thing be possible without him?
Tian Baiguang raised his hand and said:
"I take it back. I want to be the taller one!"
"Xiao Li, forget about it. Stand behind me. I'll hold up the sky if it falls!"
"What?" The three of them immediately stopped, and Li Xinghe counterattacked:
"Old Tian, you're old, let us young people do this kind of dangerous work!"
Chad Sheng struck a pose like a bodybuilder showing off his muscles and said:
"That's right, just hide behind us. Don't worry, we will protect you."
Serlans nodded repeatedly: "Yeah, that's right! Don't worry, Lao Tian."
Tian Baiguang blushed and stiffened his neck:
"old?"
"Who are you calling old?"
"I'm still full of energy every morning, even better than you young people!"
“Who dares to call me old?”
"Okay, okay," Zuo Qinglong quickly tried to smooth things over.
"You guys can have fun and make noises all you want, but don't make fun of the old man!"
"Okay, I understand." Li Xinghe and the other two nodded to show that they understood.
Tian Baiguang: ………
At this moment, he seemed to have suffered 10,000 points of critical damage, and his whole body suddenly became weak.
Zuo Qinglong smiled secretly.
This old Tian is a master at picking fights, it's time to teach him a lesson...
"Ahem..., alright, alright, it's still too early to be tall."
"What we need to do now is to work hard to become the taller one."
"Also, this tribe of rock lizards in front of us is our training ground! We will eat them away bit by bit until they are no longer a threat to us!"
Li Xinghe asked doubtfully:
"Captain, why don't we just destroy them? Why not nibble them away to the point where they can no longer pose a threat to us?"
Zuo Qinglong explained:
"If we destroy them all, who will guard the spatial rift?"
"What if other powerful races discover that crack?"
"Another battle similar to the one in Demon Slayer City?"
"Although the crack in Demon Slayer City was sealed by the masked man, no one can predict when the next crack will appear and where it will appear."
"If there are too many powerful warriors invading next time, the consequences...we can't afford it!"
"So, what we need to do is to weaken the Rock Lizards to a level where they can no longer threaten us, but at the same time retain a certain amount of strength to maintain the status quo."
"Let them guard this crack for us!"
Tian Baiguang exclaimed: "Captain is worthy of being the captain, this is a good idea!"
After saying this, he glared at Li Xinghe and said:
"See? Use your brain more and learn more from the captain!"
"Yes, yes, yes~" Li Xinghe smiled and nodded:
"Old Tian, what you said makes sense..."
"Huh?" Tian Baiguang looked at Li Xinghe in surprise.
Has this kid changed his personality?
Why are you so obedient that you don’t even argue?
This is unscientific...
Li Xinghe was sitting upright at this moment, looking like a good boy.
However, he was smiling smugly in his heart:
Hehehe, I'm determined to be the tallest person, not to bother with old people...
Tian Baiguang looked at Li Xinghe suspiciously.
He always felt that something was wrong with this guy, but he couldn't put his finger on what it was, so he didn't know how to start...
Zuo Qinglong glanced at the old man and the young man, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
It's nice to have someone to bicker with from time to time, at least a team won't seem so dull.
