Time flies, and more than half a month has passed since the great battle at the No. 3 Mysterious Nest.
The best hospital under the General Bureau of Secret Service of the Upper Capital Region, Da Xia.
"Alas, no, the life force of this two is draining too much. Even with me and this expensive medicine, I can only barely keep them alive. If there is no better way, they will die sooner or later! Unless the miracle that happened to that kid happens again, I really have no other way!"
Inside a special room, Elder Ma, the strongest in terms of forbidden healing abilities and realm in the Great Xia Dynasty, looked at the two figures lying in the sealed device and sighed helplessly.
The two figures lying in the green liquid inside the instrument were naturally Chi Chen and Zhang Rong.
For more than half a month, not only did the two show no signs of waking up, but under Old Ma's healing and soaking in the medicine, Chi Chen and Zhang Rong's condition actually worsened slightly. This shows what price the two paid in that great battle.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Ma. Please go back and rest!"
Hearing what Elder Ma said, Xiao Rulai's hand clenched and unclenched repeatedly. In the end, he could only thank Elder Ma and then have someone send him away.
Inside the room, besides Xiao Rulai, there were Lin Bai, Qing Sheng, and Hu Miaomiao. According to the rules, the three of them should not be here.
However, Xiao Rulai also knew the relationship between Lin Bai and the other two with Chi Chen and Zhang Rong. In addition, even Elder Ma said that if someone could talk to Chi Chen and Zhang Rong often, it might increase the chances of Chi Chen and Zhang Rong waking up.
Xiao Rulai turned his head and gave Hu Miaomiao a deep look.
In the past two weeks, Hu Miaomiao's appearance was like a ray of dawn in the darkness. After Da Xia suffered two heavy blows in succession, the news that Hu Miaomiao brought to Da Xia was like sending charcoal in snowy weather.
At the same time, Xiao Rulai also gained a new understanding of the Heretical Forbidden Organization. Although the Heretical Forbidden Organization was a force to be reckoned with, after learning about it from Hu Miaomiao, even Xiao Rulai had to reassess the threat it posed to the Great Xia Dynasty.
In particular, the fact that the Moon Goddess suddenly advanced to the Victorious Sun Realm has directly raised the danger level of the Heretical Forbidden Zone to the highest level.
But what relieved Xiao Rulai the most was that Chi Chen's selfless act allowed Elder Ming to return to Great Xia without any loss.
Otherwise, given the actions of those madmen from the Heretic Forbidden House, if Elder Ming were to suffer further injuries at the hands of the Moon Goddess, it wouldn't be long before the Heretic Forbidden House would mobilize its entire force and head towards Great Xia.
Thinking of this, Xiao Rulai felt a little scared. Then he glanced at Chi Chen lying in the container.
He never expected that the boy would reappear in front of him in such a short time, but in this way.
Now, Xiao Rulai is gradually beginning to understand why the 'hope' left behind chose Chi Chen from among so many young people.
Perhaps it was 'hope' that sensed the shadow of its former master in Chi Chen.
After lingering on Chi Chen for a moment, Xiao Rulai turned his gaze to Zhang Rong. Seeing his old friend's current miserable state, Xiao Rulai's eyes showed an extremely complicated expression.
Perhaps only Xiao Rulai knew that when Zhang Rong chose to go to the No. 3 nest, he was already prepared to die. What he wanted to do was probably to perish together with Kalba. However, unexpected events occurred, and it ended up like this.
Xiao Rulai remained silent for a long time, and finally raised his head as if he had made a decision.
"You all stay here with them and see if there's any way to awaken their consciousness. I need to go out and make some arrangements. Don't worry, whether it's for public or private reasons, I won't let them die like this!"
Xiao Rulai patted Lin Bai and Qingsheng on the shoulder, then turned and went out the door.
"Chi Chen, wake up! I know you won't die. If you fucking die, I'll tell you all the stupid things you've done at your funeral, so you can watch yourself die!"
After Xiao Rulai left, Lin Bai, with red eyes, came to the container where Chi Chen was.
"And you too, Captain! If you can wake up, I'll definitely be your guinea pig for fried chicken every day from now on!"
Lin Bai called out to Zhang Rong, and then began to speak continuously.
Qing Sheng and Hu Miaomiao watched this scene in silence. For some time now, Lin Bai had been tirelessly repeating those words to them every day, which was heartbreaking to see.
...
"Xiao Rulai, you should think this through. If we send them to that place, not only will we pay a heavy price, but even you and I won't be able to interfere much in what happens there. Once they're in, they won't be able to get out anytime soon! Although our Great Xia has considerable power there, it's not our home turf, and people from other war zones are always thinking about suppressing us!"
Inside the newsstand, Old Master Ming saw Xiao Rulai arrive again and knew without asking what he wanted to say.
“I know, Elder Ming, but right now, only the sacred spring there has any hope of saving Zhang Rong and Chi Chen! For some reason, the ‘hope’ within Chi Chen has not taken effect yet, and Zhang Rong has no other support. We can’t delay any longer. If we delay any longer, they will really not make it. Zhang Rong and Chi Chen both have reasons not to die!”
Xiao Rulai looked at Elder Ming with slightly red eyes, his fists clenched tightly. He really had no other choice. Although that place was full of dangers, there was always a glimmer of hope. As long as Zhang Rong could come back to life, with his realm and strength, he would be an extremely powerful being there. Zhang Rong would naturally be able to handle the rest.
Xiao Rulai knew why Elder Ming hesitated. Even the Holy Spring could not guarantee that Zhang Rong would recover completely. Xiao Rulai's move was a gamble, and a high-stakes gamble at a great cost!
"Sigh, you're right. Zhang Rong and Chi Chen can't die. Since you've made up your mind, then go ahead and do it! But this means we'll have to slow down our pace with the Heretic Forbidden Zone and Kalba. Fortunately, we have the information that little girl brought, which tells us that even though the Moon Goddess is now at the Sheng Yang Realm, she won't dare to attack Great Xia in the short term!"
Elder Ming sighed and waved his hand, signaling Xiao Rulai to arrange the follow-up matters.
Having received confirmation, Xiao Rulai did not linger and turned to leave the newsstand.
Half an hour later, inside the headquarters of the Great Xia Slaying Secret Bureau, a meeting whose duration was destined to be short officially began.
...
Outside of Daxia.
On the dark red earth, inside the No. 1 mysterious nest.
Kalba sat on the throne, and beside her, Sinsha sat slightly lower on a stone seat.
This is a palace built of massive stones. The interior is extremely luxurious, and it doesn't look like a mysterious place at all.
Inside the hall, apart from Kalba and Sinsha, there were no other mysteries.
"Kalba, what should we do now?"
Xin Sha looked at Kalba with a grim expression. Of their five royal races, only two remained. Many of the high-end combatants of the mysterious group under his command had also died in that battle, leaving only some useless cannon fodder.
That should have been the beginning of their war against the Great Xia, but unexpectedly it became their final battle.
Now, on this land, the Heretical Forbidden Site has been expanding recklessly since the return of the Moon Goddess, completely disregarding the thoughts of Xin Sha and Kalba, and constantly killing or controlling those mysterious figures who roam outside.
However, Xin Sha and Kalba are currently helpless against this, and they also have to guard against the Moon God's sudden attack on them. After all, the Moon God is now at the Sheng Yang realm. If he really wants to break off relations, even Kalba, who is only at the half-step Sheng Yang realm, might not be able to escape, let alone Xin Sha.
So Xin Sha is now like an ant on a hot pan, extremely anxious, but there's nothing he can do.
Kalba silently turned to look at Xin Sha, a strange light flickering in his eyes.
When Xin Sha was stared at like that by Karl, his mind tensed up instantly, his face became tense, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of fear welling up inside him.
Fortunately, Kalba quickly looked away, and Xin Sha breathed a sigh of relief, his forehead already covered in cold sweat.
Just now, Xin Sha truly felt the threat of death. From Kalba's eyes, Xin Sha knew what she was thinking.
But for some reason, Kalba eventually gave up on that idea.
“That Moon God isn’t stupid. He won’t easily make a move against us first. He still needs us to keep Great Xia in check. Moreover, although the Moon God has advanced to the Victorious Sun Realm, he must have encountered some problems. Otherwise, even if the Moon God was injured by that monkey’s blow that day, he wouldn’t have given up the opportunity to severely injure Great Xia so easily and left just like that, facing that old man from Great Xia who has been ill for a long time!”
Karba's calm voice rang out, as if the loss of three king-type mystic creatures and the subsequent failure to achieve their goal last time were no longer on her mind.
After a long silence in the hall, Kalba finally rose and spoke again:
"Come with me to open the Gate of Guidance. I need to speak with those old clansmen. Although the Heretic Forbidden Zone and the Great Xia are not attacking us for the time being, we will inevitably face disaster sooner or later once they recover! We must make plans as soon as possible!"
Upon hearing this, Xin Sha's expression changed immediately, as if he was somewhat resistant to what Kalba had said, but in the end he could only follow Kalba into the deeper part of the hall.
...
Within the headquarters of the heretical taboo.
Inside that same gloomy hall, but this time there were only four people present.
"Useless, useless, useless! You couldn't even catch a little girl!"
The angry voice of the evil god echoed in the hall.
This time, Thor surprisingly remained silent, simply sitting quietly in his chair.
"Have you yelled enough?! Why don't you go kill all the trash outside to vent your anger?"
The demon god's cold voice rang out, and the face beneath the evil god's mask froze for a few seconds before sitting back down in his chair without uttering a sound.
"Cough cough!"
After a moment of silence inside the hall, the Moon Goddess coughed twice, which immediately made the Thunder God and the Evil God sit up straight.
This turn of events was unexpected by everyone. Even the Demon God, who thought his plan was foolproof, could not have foreseen that the Heretic Forbidden Zone would lose a deity in the end.
This was a great loss for the Heretical Forbidden Site, and if it weren't for the timely appearance of the Moon Goddess, the three demon gods would probably have perished there as well.
"For now, let's not touch Kalba. Those mysterious people aren't as simple as you think. As for Daxia, we shouldn't make any moves in the near future either. Now that Hu Miaomiao has arrived in Daxia and met Xiao Rulai, our previous arrangements have definitely been exposed. Let's halt all our actions for the time being. As for Daxia, Zhang Rong is already crippled, and that old man doesn't have much time left. Don't rush, we'll take it slow! They won't dare to launch an offensive against us right now!"
The moon goddess's voice rang out, but the three could not discern her true feelings.
More than ten minutes later, under the arrangement of the Moon Goddess, the three demons got up to leave.
"Demon God, you must stay!"
The Moon Goddess spoke, which immediately startled the Evil God and the Thunder God. The two men's faces behind their masks showed different expressions, but after a slight pause, they still left the main hall.
Upon hearing this, the demon god naturally stopped, a hint of excitement appearing on his face.
Is it finally his turn?
