Chapter 2045 Everyone Has Their Own Hidden agendas!! Deadline?! “There’s hope!!” Upon hearing this, the Earth Dragon was overjoyed, thinking that human mecha pilots were indeed easy to fool. He would definitely report everything after returning to the Abyss and then come back to kill them.
Hmph, the grudge of having its tail severed must be avenged!
Anyway, we won't be bound by that so-called Star Oath, so we can just use the Star Oath to fool him when the time comes.
Thinking this, the earthworm spoke directly: "I swear an oath to the stars that I will never betray my faith and will never tell the lords of the Abyss about your affairs."
"Heh..." Su Bai couldn't help but sneer inwardly after hearing the earthworm's words. Did this thing really think he was stupid?
Forbidden creatures have no star power, so how could they be bound by star oaths?
However... he still wanted to get some information out of you, so he went along with what the earthworm had said: "Well... since you're so sincere, it's not that we can't cooperate. But I need to ask you a few questions. If you cooperate, I'll let you go back without any interference."
"Ask away." The moment Su Bai spoke, the earthworm immediately agreed, secretly pleased with itself for being so quick-witted.
"Is this Abyss Stone only found in the forbidden areas of the southern region, or in the forbidden areas of other regions as well?" Su Bai asked his first question, releasing his divine sense at the same time to ensure the authenticity of the earthworm's answer.
He wasn't foolish enough to believe the earthworm's cooperation; he could discern the truth from falsehood in its words himself.
"Only the Cleansing Land in our southern region possesses it..." The earthworm hadn't expected the question to be so simple. It had nothing to hide about this, and even spoke the truth with a hint of pride.
After all, the Abyss Stones are not cheap to make. If they weren't worried about the Central Star Region's large-scale invasion disrupting their plans, they probably wouldn't even have these forbidden items in their southern region.
As for the other areas... since they don't directly face the threat from the central star region, they naturally won't place Abyss Stones there.
Upon hearing this, Su Bai breathed a slight sigh of relief. He had been genuinely worried that other places might also have this thing, and that some might slip through the net and use it to escape back into the Forbidden Abyss.
Of course, most importantly, if this item exists in other areas, it's hard to guarantee that even stronger forbidden creatures won't emerge from it.
"The second question is, with the taboos in your southern region so scattered, how do you plan to act when your plan is fully in full swing?" Unlike the first question, after Su Bai asked this question, his divine sense clearly detected the earthworm's abnormality.
Clearly, the earthworm hadn't expected Su Bai to ask such a question. After thinking for a moment, it decided to make something up: "The human mech pilots in the Northern Star Region are weak. Even if we are scattered, we can easily defeat them. Besides, whoever said our plan would go into full swing is lying."
It tried to lower Su Bai's guard with its own words, though it didn't know how the other party knew their "plan," but it couldn't admit it.
Of course, not all of its words are false; the first sentence is true.
Given the strength of the Northern Star Region, even with them scattered like this, subduing the opponent would be an easy task; it's just that the time isn't right yet, and they can't act immediately.
Su Bai knew that the earthworm's words were half true and half false, so he didn't dwell on the matter too much. Instead, he asked his last question: "When do you think the restrictions in the Northern Star Region will expire?"
Earthworm: Σ(⊙▽⊙"a!!
The earthworm was surprised that the mecha pilot from the Central Star Region had grasped their plans to such an extent. Its gaping maw twitched slightly, as if it was hesitating.
