Chapter 666 Alliance (1/2)
”What kind of opportunity?” several others asked at the same time.
”According to their intelligence, the mutated tribe haven't discovered us for the time being. Or… maybe they've found us but can't be bothered with us,” Bai Tongming said as he smiled, his eyes crinkling.
”That's definitely a good thing.”
”The more they look down on us, the more opportunities to develop we have, and everything will be fine once we have our own God-level monster trainers.” The atmosphere in the palace became joyful and upbeat.
These people were all elderly but experienced. The loss of composure earlier was because they were suddenly hit in the face by the bad news, thus resulting in them collectively losing their cool as they clambered for a solution. Now that they had sorted out their emotions, they could calmly begin to calculate their potential gains and losses.
In contrast, their pride wasn't important at all. They needed their pride, as they were a group of Quasi God monster trainers after all, and they were highly respected elders of their respective tribes. Surely, they valued their pride very much. Nonetheless, they also understood that rather than an insubstantial reputation, tangible benefits were definitely much more important.
”Let's also inform the Huaxia Tribe of this matter. More Quasi Gods on our side would definitely be a good thing,” suggested Bai Tongming all of a sudden. At this point, it would be advantageous to bolster their combat power as much as they could, so naturally, the rest didn't disagree.
”I'm fine with it. It's just that we don't know them very well, so we'd have to burden Chief Bai with the responsibility,” said an elder of the Xuanhu Tribe.
The other Quasi Gods were indifferent. They weren't overly concerned about the potential response to their invitation, as while it would be beneficial if Chief Bai could convince them, if they still chose to refuse, they wouldn't make them join by force either.
A cold voice suddenly spoke up. ”If they reject us, then get rid of them. I don't wish for someone to stab us in the back while we're fighting against the mutated tribes.”
Bai Tongming turned his head towards the voice, his eyes falling on an elder who was wearing a couple of clips in his hair. He had a fresh and healthy-looking face, despite the silvery streaks on his head. He slowly lifted his teacup and drained it.
Seeing that Bai Tongming was looking at him, this elder then tipped his cup towards Bai Tongming in a mock salute.
Bai Tongming was baffled from the bottom of his heart. He had never seen this person before, but judging from his posture, as well as his proximity with the rest of the Xuanhu Tribe, he was one of their senior elders… right?
…
”My dearest father, you actually found a divine artifact on this outing! You're truly as talented as ever,” the Windstorm Water Magic Spider mocked as it extended its head from the vanity, looking contemptuously at Fatty Big Sea.
”Heh heh, my daughter, just wait until I've restored my strength, then I'll lend it to you immediately.” Fatty Big Sea, who was lying in the Divine Well of Darkness, shook its blubbery belly as it spoke to the Windstorm Water Magic Spider who was above.
The Windstorm Water Magic Spider laughed. ”That's not necessary. It's just the Holy Water of Darkness; it's not like I've never seen it. You just lie in the well and enjoy it. To be frank, the way you're currently lying in the well is like a nice fat fish being steamed in a pot.”
...
On the other side, an unexpected guest had arrived at the Huaxia Tribe. The sudden visit was hastily reported to Gao Peng and Ji Hanwu. They didn't dare to dilly-dally any further, immediately stepping forward to welcome the visitor with open arms.
Bai Tongming clasped his hands behind his back as he looked around casually. The high-rise buildings and huge steel monsters made him do a double take in surprise. Such interesting things! Although he could destroy them easily, they did give off a strange and indescribable feeling.
