The two of them were talking at cross purposes and had nothing in common, and in the end they almost parted on bad terms.
Xiao Bai really wanted to leave. If she were in another environment, she would definitely turn around and leave, but in this underground crack, it was dark and there were dangerous contaminated creatures everywhere. She also wanted to be tough and leave the other party behind, but the reality was that she was afraid that the other party would abandon her.
So, it's impossible to disband, so what else can we do? Just form a team.
[Hahahaha, you've been taught a lesson, haven't you?! You've been lazy all the time! You deserve it!]
The book spirit enjoyed watching the fun and was madly adding insult to injury in Xiao Bai's mind, mocking him with all his might.
[It's what it deserves! Evildoers deserve to be punished by evildoers!]
Xiao Bai gritted his teeth and unilaterally blocked the book spirit's consciousness.
Murong An no longer paid attention to Xiao Bai, who was feeling awkward, and just waved his hand lightly. Several streams of spiritual power swept around like a whirlwind, rolling up all the giant insect dark cores scattered on the ground and putting them into the flowerpot in his left hand.
Xiao Bai had seen the flowerpot in his hand more than once. It was a simple flowerpot, no bigger than a palm. It looked ordinary, but how could it hold so much?! The giant insect's dark cores were almost piled up, and this small flowerpot could actually hold them all!
Could this be some kind of spatial spiritual weapon?
"Hey! What on earth are you collecting these things for?! It seems like these are only needed by advanced dark creatures, right?" Xiao Bai is a person of action. She asks directly whatever comes to her mind. Besides, she just wants to find a topic to ease the somewhat stiff atmosphere.
“Growing flowers!”
Sure enough, one person's compromise and the other person's refusal to accept it will only make the atmosphere more awkward.
"Tsk~ That's the same answer again! Who would believe it? If you don't want to say it, don't say it!"
Xiao Bai felt that he was being treated perfunctorily again, and it would be better not to chat at all.
So the two of them started a cold war again for no apparent reason.
After collecting the dark cores on the ground, Murong An walked straight forward. The source of the large-scale mutation of underground creatures had not been found yet, so he had to look forward again.
Seeing this, Xiao Bai had no choice but to follow.
Xiao Bai and Murong An were in the pitch-black environment underground and could hardly feel the passage of time. However, in Dongcheng, the events in Tianxin Community had already spread among the upper echelons and aristocratic families in Dongcheng.
"High-level dark creatures actually want to cooperate with us?! Why does this sound so unbelievable?"
"Adjutant Xu, are you sure you didn't drink before you came here? Or were you confused by something when you went to Tianxin Community?"
In the meeting room of Commander Liu of Dongcheng, people present were talking about it.
After coming to his senses, Adjutant Xu immediately led his team back to the command post and reported the incident to Commander Liu Changfeng.
Commander Liu knew his adjutant too well. He was a serious man. Seeing him sweating profusely, with a face full of palpitations, and looking like he had survived a disaster, he knew that this matter was most likely true, so he immediately called a meeting with the top leaders of Dongcheng and the leaders of the aristocratic families.
Things that cannot be decided by one person can only be discussed together.
Who knew that once everyone learned about this, they would go into an uproar.
"Adjutant Xu, how could you agree to something so outrageous? And you promised them we'd meet next time? When? Where? Are they deliberately looking for an excuse to catch us all in one fell swoop?"
The person in charge of the Wang family in Haicheng spoke, and several other families nodded.
"That's right, Adjutant Xu, you're simply inviting a wolf into the house! How can we possibly cooperate with non-humans like them?"
"Those who are not of my kind must have different hearts!"
"That's right! We can't cooperate with them, nor can we reveal our information to them. What if they want to take advantage of the opportunity to attack us?"
"Everyone has forgotten that the city was filled with infected species. It was caused by those dark creatures! We will fight them to the death!"
"Right! We can't compromise and cooperate with them!"
And then there was the foolish suggestion: "Hurry up and send the guards to kill them!"
"Yes, or we can pretend to cooperate with them, then lure you into a trap and kill them!"
Patriarch Li sneered, "You're talking as if we can defeat them right now! Any high-level dark creature from them can destroy half of our city with a wave of their hand. Kill them? How? Who will do it? Are we going to let the guards die? They might not even get close to the enemy before being crushed into ash!"
An elder from a family who had never seen a high-level dark creature disapproved, "No, Old Li, how can you boost their morale and destroy your own prestige? You're just pouring cold water on them!"
Patriarch Li was also furious. "I'm telling the truth! How many of you have actually seen high-level dark creatures? And how many of you have actually fought against them? I'm not trying to dissuade you, but combined, we wouldn't even be enough to defeat them in one move! Do you understand?!"
He slammed the table in anger, turned his back to everyone, and didn't want to say anything more. There was nothing much to say to a frog in a well who had never seen the world. It was ridiculous that these people usually thought highly of themselves, as if they were so great!
The meeting room was once again filled with noise and chaos, with many people expressing their opinions.
Commander Liu had been listening to everyone's speeches with a frown from the very beginning. He saw that after discussing for a long time, they could not come to any conclusion. They were all blaming and passing the buck to each other. Some complained that Adjutant Xu's return might have exposed the address of their base camp. Others kept sighing and felt that the future was hopeless.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Commander Liu knocked on the table a few times, signaling everyone to be quiet.
