Lord of Illusions City
Chapter 709 Arrogant Captive!
“He’s already dead!”
Du Gutianfeng said somewhat awkwardly, “That guy was too infuriating, so I smashed him to death! But it’s okay, they’re just Devourer captives. I’ll go grab a few more later!”
“Alright!”
Li Chenzhou smiled, not even asking what the guy had said to provoke Du Gutianfeng to murder.
“Li! Gray Bear and the others are back!”
Just then, Hu Tao beside him suddenly said, pointing to the screen, “I guess we don’t need to capture any prisoners. They brought a few back!”
But then, Hu Tao looked at Li Chenzhou, saying strangely, “That’s not right, these guys never like taking prisoners. They always wipe them out completely. Why did they bring back three or four today? Did you contact Gray Bear when you got here?”
“No! I have no way to contact him!”
Li Chenzhou shook his head, “Currently, our communication can only be achieved with the help of the war fortress. I guess the Devourers have a new situation…”
As he said this, a thought suddenly arose in Li Chenzhou’s mind: perhaps this new situation was related to his world?
At that moment, Gray Bear and the others had already entered the war fortress. After entering, Gray Bear directly connected to Hu Tao’s communication channel. “Commander Hu, we’ve discovered a new situation that needs to be reported immediately!”
“Come over then!”
Hu Tao agreed. The next moment, Gray Bear and his team teleported over, along with four Devourers!
“I told him that he doesn’t need to ask me where he wants to go, and he has the highest authority in the fortress himself. He can teleport wherever he wants!”
Seeming afraid that Li Chenzhou would misunderstand, Hu Tao pointed at Gray Bear and said, “But this guy insists on doing it this way, saying that in the army, there must be rules, and I am the chief military officer here, so he has to report to me first when he comes here!”
“That’s right!”
Li Chenzhou nodded, then nodded towards the Devourer prisoners and looked at Gray Bear. “What’s the situation?”
“Boss? You’re here?”
Gray Bear was overjoyed to see Li Chenzhou, and the 156 warriors behind him also looked at Li Chenzhou with delight, greeting him.
“Instructor!!!”
Li Chenzhou nodded, but didn’t continue the small talk. He just pointed at the Devourers.
Gray Bear understood, and pulled a Devourer over, saying, “Boss, Commander Hu, Lord Du Gu, we have good news!”
As he spoke, Gray Bear looked at Hu Tao, “By the way, Commander Hu, have you received any news before, that two Devourer Giant Nest-class cosmic fleets are heading towards us?”
“…”
Hearing Gray Bear’s words, Hu Tao’s expression changed, then he looked at the Devourer prisoner.
He had been hiding this news, afraid that if people knew, it would cause panic, so he had been keeping it secret. Now it seemed that these Devourer prisoners had told Gray Bear and the others this news.
“I know this news, but this news must not be spread, just you guys know it! Otherwise, I’m worried that after those people get this news, they will…”
After thinking about it, Hu Tao looked seriously at Gray Bear and the 156 warriors behind him, but he found that after hearing his words, the expressions of Gray Bear and the others suddenly became strange, so he didn’t finish speaking, but nodded at Gray Bear. “You tell me, what’s going on?”
Because Hu Tao was the commander of the military, Gray Bear, after entering here, went back to being his soldier, which was why he didn’t interrupt Hu Tao’s words. Now that Hu Tao asked him to speak, how could he still hold back? He immediately said, “Commander Hu, don’t worry about the Devourer cosmic fleet, because those two cosmic fleets have received emergency orders and have changed their destination! At least, they won’t be coming here in the short term!”
As he spoke, Gray Bear pointed at the Devourer he was holding, “Moreover, according to this guy, there won’t be any other reinforcements coming here. They seem to have encountered a big problem now. Before solving this problem, the Devourers don’t have the energy to care about this place!”
“What? Can you confirm the authenticity of the news?”
Hu Tao was overjoyed when he heard this. If the cosmic warships didn’t come, then he really wouldn’t be afraid. He could even consider cleaning up all the Devourers in the entire Duoluo world!
“It should be true!”
Gray Bear nodded, “When we went to attack their stronghold, they were evacuating, and after seeing us, they didn’t put up any decent resistance, they were all desperately trying to escape!
According to their explanation, it’s because they received orders that all the Devourers in the Duoluo world had to gather in one base and try to hold on!
Later, we went to two more Devourer strongholds and found that they were already empty, not only were the Devourers gone, but all the things inside had been moved away! So, what they said should be true!”
“It must be true!”
Li Chenzhou suddenly spoke, staring at the Devourer, “Your two Giant Nest-class fleets went to reinforce those who are extracting the origin of the universe, right?”
“Human! How do you know?”
The Devourer was shocked and turned to look at Li Chenzhou.
This was the first time Li Chenzhou had been able to observe a living Devourer so closely.
The Devourer actually looked very similar to humans, except that their skin color was very strange, a bit like dark blue or dark gray. They had the same features as humans, with long white hair, but their pupils were dark gold, looking like cat’s eyes.
Therefore, being stared at by this Devourer gave Li Chenzhou an uncomfortable feeling, but he didn’t flinch. Instead, he flipped his hand and revealed a bottle – the transparent bottle containing the origin of the universe.
Seeing that bottle, the expressions of several Devourers changed, and the one in the front looked at Li Chenzhou with a ferocious expression. “Human! Where are you from? Is there… a portal to your planet here?”
“Guess!”
Li Chenzhou glared at the Devourer, then suddenly laughed, “The portal is referring to that spatial channel, right? It seems… those spatial channels weren’t built by you, otherwise, you wouldn’t not know that there is a spatial channel leading to our place, right?”
“Human! You will regret showing this to me, because you know nothing about us!”
Looking at Li Chenzhou, the Devourer suddenly laughed, laughing madly, “Wait and see, soon, my kind will come back here and enter your world from here, capturing all the humans there, slowly draining your life force, you… will die in your own miserable wails! By then…”
“Smack!”
Before the Devourer could finish his words, Li Chenzhou suddenly slapped him in the face, shattering half of his face directly, and the words that followed could not be finished.
“Damn, you’re so arrogant even as a prisoner, I had to hit him!”
Li Chenzhou shook his hand and said…
