204: Chapter 186: Awakening 204: Chapter 186: Awakening “I think you’re probably crazy, disobeying orders like this. If we don’t have evidence to prove our correctness afterward, we’ll be held accountable…” Guan Xinxian still hesitated, somewhat uneasy and wavering. “Of course, we’re going against orders, and the responsibility we both have to bear is too heavy to handle. We might be dismissed and thrown in jail.” Thinking about what he was going to do next, Lu Ping’an guessed that if they made the wrong conclusion, he would have to bear the full consequences. “…Actually, I don’t have much confidence. I can’t even understand that space theory. I’m just guessing based on Jia Yi’s character and behavior patterns.” Guan Xinxian became more uneasy, and the normally rational and calm person realized that he couldn’t form effective evidence. “Hmm, I might have misheard. After all, there are screams everywhere on the lake. It’s normal if there are a few sacrifices below; it’s just a bit more, and the frequency is higher, which makes it slightly abnormal.” Lu Ping’an shrugged; nothing was one hundred percent correct. “Maybe if we wait for a moment, everything will naturally get better. Jia Yi will have no troops to use and will naturally be forced into a dead end.” Guan Xinxian still hesitated, but not for himself. “Indeed, there is a possibility, and it’s not small. At least, other people and experts have been looking forward to it.” Lu Ping’an turned his head and looked at his bloodshot-eyed senior brother, then laughed. “What’s wrong? Have regrets? Worried about ruining your future?” Lu Ping’an joked, but it could very well become reality. “How could it be possible? I’ve been waiting for this day for too long… It’s just that you, unlike me, don’t have to bet everything on this.” Indeed, this hesitation stemmed from Guan Xinxian’s willingness to take revenge at all costs, but the other person was just a friend and didn’t have an obligation to risk their entire future. Hearing this, Lu Ping’an’s laughter grew even brighter. “Thinking too much can lead to baldness. Instead of ‘regretting not doing anything at all,’ I prefer ‘regretting only after doing it?’. Uh, if I ever regret it… Never mind, let’s start.” A foul-smelling wind blew against their faces; the lake that was initially only slightly polluted had become fully multicolored. The rules of the Exotic Realm invaders and the blood and flesh of the invaders themselves contaminated the small lake. The two loosened their shoulders, warming up for the final preparations, then suddenly leaped. “Splash!” Tentacles once again knocked the lightweight “balloon” and the “Feathering Transformation Pendant” below. In the chaotic waters, two figures moved at high speed. Wherever they passed, the busy and even frantic battlefield fell into a sudden standstill. The next moment, the “frenzied” Water Monsters went completely insane. They had already lost most of their rationality and, under the Deity’s Curse, disregarded the orders of the Beast Tamers and Contractors; they did not hesitate to abandon the battlefield and chase after the two in the air. After luring a sufficient number of “tails”, Lu Ping’an and Guan Xinxian returned without hesitation, leading them to… land! Yes, land. Originally, Guan Xinxian was hesitant to take them to attack the human positions, as this wasn’t like the Secret Realm. Even if everything went well, they would face trial afterward. Lu Ping’an, however, didn’t hesitate; he had a better choice. “I know a bit about these Fishmen; they are extremely, extremely unsuitable for terrestrial and unwatered environments.” Their mysterious skin, which has a strong sensing power underwater, requires a lot of moisture on land to maintain and nourish it. Many Water Monsters don’t even have the ability to breathe on the surface. “…How is this possible!” Under normal circumstances, they would never go ashore. However, the Deity’s Curse and the loss of rationality after “frenzy” suppressed their survival instincts, making these sea creatures and Fishmen rush onto the shore in a daze. Some died on the spot, while others struggled for a while but couldn’t get up again. However, the huge number of them meant there were still possibilities. The Lord of Foreign Domain also had amphibious combat power in their ranks, and there were many beneath them following behind Lu Ping’an. There was no stopping them. Continue along the original path and see if they could be exhausted to death? “We don’t have that kind of time anymore. They have all come ashore, and if the others can’t handle it, there’s no excuse.” Dragging them away? Just a few kilometers away was the Development Zone, and a single Magic Monster wandering into town would be a major event. Without any hesitation, Lu Ping’an chose to circle around and let the chasing monsters collide directly with the human camp. But this time, the pressure was much less. On the one hand, the subterranean races had been weakened several times, and their strength had greatly diminished. On the other hand, it was due to Lu Ping’an’s intentionally “going in circles.” Animals without rationality have no concept of formation. They instinctively showed their extreme speed, but the speed and stamina of each creature and individual were completely different. The subordinates of the coalition army from more than ten countries had vastly different speed and physical strength. Thus, after merely making two laps, it became a tragic scene just before the finish line of an ultra-long marathon, where individuals were separated by a great distance, and could only open their mouths wide in a daze to chase their targets. Down below, some people were cursing and flipping off Lu Ping’an, but others shouted loudly. “Well done! Keep it up!” The feedback from below confirmed that Lu Ping’an’s actions had not caused much resentment, as no one shot at him… at least for most conscious warriors, if they couldn’t handle fish that had come ashore, it’s better to retire early and return home. At least for most people, Lu Ping’an’s reckless behavior was effective. But what came next might not necessarily be so. “We wasted too much time on this lap. Next time, we should pull more… three times more.” Unsurprisingly, there were no gunshots, and Lu Ping’an felt a little disappointed. “Alright.” Since Lu Ping’an was not afraid of the consequences, Guan Xinxian, as an avenger, naturally had the consciousness. Subsequently, the situation became utterly chaotic and out of control… Again and again, under the guidance of Lu Ping’an, the fish-monsters and sea beasts on the water were consumed and then crashed into the human camp without hesitation. Once, twice, and finally, battle losses were inevitable. “Enough is enough!” “Don’t come back again.” The people below had changed their attitude, and Brother Guan hesitated, but Lu Ping’an just looked at the not-so-distant lake surface. The influx of new water monsters was indeed slower than the rate of consumption, but it was still not enough. The screams and moans below intensified, the whispers in various languages and thoughts made him increasingly feel that something was wrong. “Continue.” Lu Ping’an smiled and carried on with his actions. Sure enough, gunfire greeted them the next time. But what of it? This had been anticipated from the start. Just by maintaining a slightly higher altitude, as long as they did not encounter other flying units, there would be no threat to their journey… Fortunately, there were only a very few flying units among the water-dwelling Fishmen, and they were not strong; they were lured into the human camp several times for priority treatment. Of course, being too bold like this wouldn’t work either; there was skill involved in playing around. “We can send the text message now.” What Lu Ping’an referred to was a work-related text message already prepared. The content was fabricated: “We discovered the enemy is plotting something major underwater, an all-consuming sacrificial ritual that will destroy the city is underway”… There was no evidence to support it, just the speculation of the two of them. This report had already been written and stored in Guan Xinxian’s communication device, with just one button to send it out. “Now? Will it be useful?” If submitting a report would have been useful, Guan Xinxian wouldn’t have taken the risk. “Heh, do they have a choice? At least it will slow down their attacks on us and make them hesitate. This isn’t the important point, though. The important thing is what happens afterward. If we can confirm our speculation is true, this will be an important piece of evidence to exonerate us. If we’ve guessed wrong… then nothing will matter.” Lu Ping’an had plenty of experience with getting into trouble, but he had also picked up a few tips on getting out of it too over time. It was time to send it out – they didn’t need to explain any evidence while they were still floating in the air… Everything could come afterward, as nobody would be too concerned about the truth. The text message was sent out, yet there was no effective response. Or rather, the phone instantly exploded with calls and text bombs, all ordering the two to stop. Lu Ping’an looked up and exchanged a silent glance with his companion. Guan Xinxian sighed, put the cell phone away in his bag. Time after time, evading the pursuit of sea beasts and sea people, while dodging their own side’s snipers, the two-person team drew arcs across the sky, completely disrupting the battlefield. But this was just the beginning. When the fishmen on the lake were already sparse, and the camp below had fallen into chaos, the team that had brought “safety” to both sides did not hesitate to choose a new battlefield. They dived into the water. “Splash!” At the moment they hit the water, a huge canglong giant beast leaped out. Underwater was the true home field for the eight-legged creature.
