Chu Tian walked and thought, "You old geezer, talking to me at this moment, with so many people around me, how am I supposed to answer you?"
"You're calling me an old geezer, believe it or not, I'll send you back to your previous life?"
Chu Tian was stunned again, "Holy crap, this old geezer can hear my thoughts?"
"You little brat, try calling me that again."
"Old geezer... old geezer... old geezer!" Chu Tian grumbled in his mind repeatedly.
"You...!"
"What about me?" Chu Tian didn't heed his threat and asked directly.
"You little brat, you're amazing! I'm asking you, did the people from the Ninth Bureau look for you?" Dao Tian said calmly.
"I met a recruiter. Do you know about the Ninth Bureau?" Chu Tian conversed with him in his mind.
"Of course I know, how could I not!" Dao Tian's tone carried a hint of deep resentment.
"What's up? Do you have a grudge?" Chu Tian naturally heard his meaning.
"Join if you get the chance, and then help me with something!" Dao Tian said this and then fell silent.
"Where exactly is that place?"
"Where are you?"
"Old geezer?"
"Tsk... You have quite the temper when asking for favors."
No matter how Chu Tian called out in his mind, he couldn't get a response!
Chu Tian dared to challenge the other party like this because he knew that the other party didn't necessarily revive him out of kindness; he might have been chosen.
As for what he needed to do, he didn't know yet, but it was definitely something big, and something that only he could do.
Since he was so useful, he naturally wouldn't be servile. If he could gain benefits, he would seize them; if he could gain leverage, he would.
Hmph, forget it, I should find time to ask Luoluo!
The Ninth Bureau, huh?
Chu Tian suddenly became a little curious about this place.
At this moment, he was leading everyone down the spiral staircase, through the narrow space, descending.
This staircase was clearly built to the stature of dwarves, and everyone had to bend over as they walked.
Chu Tian transformed into a leopard form and looked back at them.
"Heh heh, how about you all crawl too?" Chu Tian teased.
"Are you trying to die?" Luoluo, who was walking ahead of the others, said.
"We're almost there!" Chu Tian didn't respond and quickly hurried a few steps, emerging from a cave.
Outside was a platform, large enough for everyone to stand on.
"So many monsters?" Saint Light Deceives You exclaimed in surprise as he looked down after entering.
"Keep your voice down!" Chu Tian quickly grabbed everyone and hid behind a low wall.
The moment they hid, a patrol of dwarves, dozens of them, turned towards them simultaneously.
After observing for a while, they relaxed their vigilance and turned away.
"Are you trying to get us killed!" Sword Pointing to the Heavens said to Saint Light Deceives You.
"I... I... Alright, I was wrong!" Saint Light Deceives You said helplessly.
"I was shocked the first time I came here too, it's okay!" Chu Tian consoled him.
After the patrol of dwarves left, everyone stood up and looked down.
In the distance was a massive plaza, nearly a kilometer in size.
The plaza was densely packed with dwarves.
These dwarves had almost the same appearance as the dwarven artisans they had seen in the city.
However, their skin was very dark, and many of them even had mechanical prosthetics for limbs, and some even had mechanical heads.
Everyone quietly used their detection skills, but all the data they received was question marks.
"Why are there so many monsters gathered here?" asked a Meatball.
"Yeah, so many monsters, and so concentrated, I'm afraid no team can clear them alone at that time, right?"
While they were talking, several drill-like objects suddenly appeared in the plaza.
After drilling out of the ground, these drills opened what looked like hatches.
Then, countless more of these semi-mechanical dwarves emerged from within.
Everyone marveled at how advanced the technology of the dwarves was.
"These mechanical dwarves are semi-living beings, created by the dwarves by combining machinery with the corpses of dwarves who died in the great war of the past," Chu Tian explained.
"Why are they building these things?" Sword Pointing to the Heavens asked.
"The dwarves in Black Iron Mountain now are no longer the dwarves of the past. This place has been occupied by Black Iron Dwarves. They are a branch of the dwarf race, and all Black Iron Dwarves are warmongers," Chu Tian explained to them.
In his previous life, the Northern Theater had experienced a siege by the Black Iron Dwarves.
That monster siege was led by these very semi-mechanical dwarves.
And the time was approximately two months from now, and that monster siege was global.
The Northern Theater was invaded by Black Iron Dwarves, while the Eastern Theater faced a tide of sea beasts, and other theaters were similar, with various monsters attacking villages and main cities.
The Black Iron Dwarves possessed exquisite manufacturing skills and countless engineering machines, and where Chu Tian and his party were now was a troop concentration point for the Black Iron Dwarves.
At that time, Chu Tian had not yet fallen from his pedestal, and he had led a thief guild here.
However, they could only watch as the Black Iron Dwarves continuously produced semi-mechanical soldiers and transported them to the battlefield.
In that monster siege, all players became spectators because, after two months, players would only be around level thirty.
But these semi-mechanical soldier dwarves here were all level forty, with many being level forty-five elites.
This was also why Chu Tian, who had led tens of thousands of thieves, couldn't do anything when he reached this place.
That battle left the human main cities in ruins.
The NPCs in the various main cities were crippled, and eventually, the human divine-tier NPCs emerged and violently suppressed the war.
As a result of this siege, human territories began to build fortresses to prevent similar monster tide sieges from occurring in the future, preventing enemies from advancing directly into the main cities.
After the fortresses were built, the Heavenly Dao system would be upgraded, and fortress contention battles would commence simultaneously.
This time, Chu Tian chose this place to test the power of Luoluo's forbidden spell.
First, because this was the place he knew with the most concentrated monsters.
Second, the monsters here were of a high enough level. He wasn't concerned about whether Luoluo's skill could kill the monsters; he primarily wanted to test the maximum damage of the forbidden spell.
If he chose monsters of low level and low health, and a single skill killed them, making the damage unobservable, he would have no way to estimate the forbidden spell's growth potential.
"Boss, we're not going to farm this monster, are we? If we aggro one, I think all the monsters in the plaza will enter combat," Sword Pointing to the Heavens said fearfully.
Chu Tian looked at him and said, "We are farming this monster, but not by direct confrontation."
"Then how do we fight?" Sword Pointing to the Heavens asked.
"Look there..." Chu Tian pointed in the direction directly opposite them.
