"Alas, the silly you from before was more likable."
"You've perfectly transformed from being stubborn as a mule to being a double-dealer, no longer easy to fool."
"Now that you're so clever, where will I find another fool to trick?"
Lin Zhan looked at the Demon Imperial Son with a look of pity.
The Demon Imperial Son was stunned for a moment, then his anger surged: "Lin Laohei, you're going too far! So, you've been tricking me all along like a fool."
Lin Zhan quickly waved his hand and said earnestly, "Little Demon, you've misunderstood me. I never considered you a fool. I've always considered that unlucky fox Rommel a fool, because you're even worse than him."
"What the hell is 'Little Demon'?" Hearing that Lin Zhan considered Rommel a fool, the Demon Imperial Son was quite pleased.
But when he heard that he was worse than Rommel, he instantly went berserk.
What, you're saying I'm worse than a fool?
He immediately shouted at the heavily armored Divine Race archers, "Shoot him to death!"
In an instant, nearly ten thousand white arrows rained down towards Lin Zhan.
Lin Zhan watched the arrow shower without moving, saying disdainfully, "How can mere arrows harm me?"
Then, in the next second, he instantly summoned Xiao Hei.
Xiao Hei, who had been drinking and eating meat in the spirit beast space, was summoned by Lin Zhan without a word, completely bewildered.
Just as he was about to complain, he saw the overwhelming arrow shower and was so scared that his turtle shell fell off.
He quickly took out a giant turtle shell from his life-bound space and used it to block in front of him. Su Dan Novel Network
"Clink, clink, clink..."
With a series of clinks, nearly ten thousand arrows struck the giant turtle shell, but not even a scratch appeared.
Xiao Hei saw that the arrow shower had stopped, poked his head out, and said contemptuously to the Demon Imperial Son:
"Fool, this is the turtle shell shed by our ancestor when he advanced to Emperor. How can these toothpicks of yours possibly injure anyone?"
Lin Zhan gave Xuan Zhen a signal.
Xuan Zhen quickly ordered the Great Shang Ancestral Court Guard: "Load the God-Slaying Crossbows, and aim at those without shields."
As soon as Xuan Zhen finished speaking, the heavily armored Divine Race archers shot two more volleys of arrows.
After two rounds of arrows, before Lin Zhan could speak, the Demon Imperial Son directly led his men and fled.
Lin Zhan looked at the retreating elite forces of the Divine and Demon races, their backs almost invisible, and turned to ask Xuan Zhen:
"What were these brutes doing here? Why are they running away already?"
Xuan Zhen sighed, complaining inwardly to Lin Zhan:
My good young master, how dare you say that? Don't you know your own reputation?
Anyone who encounters you while robbing them, even a fool, would run.
Lin Zhan shook his head helplessly and said with regret:
"I thought I could get some unexpected gains today, but I didn't expect this Demon Imperial Son to be so damn useless and cowardly."
"Let's go. We'll gather the troops, train them, and in three days, we'll march to the Deep Sea Secret Realm."
Tie Ha'er watched Lin Zhan stride forward and quickly caught up, asking:
"Uncle, why do we have to wait three days? Let's go now. The sooner we finish, the sooner we can go home."
Lin Zhan gave Tie Ha'er a look and said, "I also want to finish early and go home, but your uncle said that the poison will be most effective after three days."
"After three days, those who can be poisoned to death will surely be poisoned. Those who can't be poisoned to death will have to be dealt with by us."
Tie Ha'er was stunned, then said, "What my aunt's husband said is really profound, almost like saying nothing at all."
On the other side, when the Demon Imperial Son returned to the Deep Sea Secret Realm, he found that the entire place was in chaos.
The Divine Race Imperial Daughter, who had been struck by Lin Zhan's Great Starfire, had awakened. This was only because Lin Zhan had not yet advanced and the Divine Race Imperial Daughter possessed many treasures, otherwise, that single Great Starfire would have been enough to take her life.
The Demon Imperial Son came to the Divine Race Imperial Daughter's side and asked doubtfully, "Princess, what happened? Why are so many people dead in the Deep Sea Secret Realm?"
The Divine Race Imperial Daughter gritted her teeth and said fiercely:
"All the sea creatures in the Deep Sea Secret Realm below the level of Quasi-King High-grade have been poisoned to death. The high-grade Quasi-Kings and some low-level Kings also show varying degrees of poisoning, and their strength has significantly decreased."
The Demon Imperial Son was stunned, and immediately thought of the Giant Demon Forest connected to the Deep Sea Secret Realm, and quickly said:
"What about the Giant Demon Forest? Was it affected?"
The Divine Race Imperial Daughter shook her head, looking exhausted:
"The Giant Demon Forest was not greatly affected. Thanks to the seawater of the Deep Sea Secret Realm, the Giant Demon Forest had special isolation measures when introducing seawater. There are no reports of poisoning in the Giant Demon Forest. However, the high-altitude water towers can no longer be used, otherwise, they would release poisonous water."
The Demon Imperial Son frowned and said:
"Have the Giant Demon Shamans research an antidote and treat the poisoned personnel as quickly as possible. Cut off all underground rivers connecting the Giant Demon Forest and the Deep Sea Secret Realm. Research evolutionary drugs and evolve the poisonous rivers in the Giant Demon Forest first, otherwise, the remaining sea creatures will have no place to live."
"Princess, this is not the time for our internal strife. Let's also find Rommel. I know you, like me, never looked down on that fox in your heart, but he is indeed the one who understands Lin Zhan the best."
"I will issue an order now to mobilize the elite legions of the Divine and Demon races. This is the time for us to be united."
"With approximately 800 million troops still in our hands and nearly 60,000 Kings, we should still have the strength to fight against the Human Race. The outcome is still uncertain."
The Divine Race Imperial Daughter nodded and said, "Your Highness is right. We truly cannot afford internal strife at this time. We will deal with the Human Race and Lin Zhan first. As for who the true commander is, we will decide that after we win."
"I will go and issue the order to mobilize the Divine Race legions. Lin Zhan's Great Starfire has injured my soul. Your Highness will have to take care of me for the next few days."
The Demon Imperial Son quickly said humbly, "Princess, you flatter me. Whatever it is, let's discuss it together."
Watching the back of the Divine Race Princess leaving, the Demon Imperial Son said to Xue Feng, "Cousin, what do you think should be done with the remaining matters?"
Xue Feng sighed and said, "Cousin, I didn't expect Lin Zhan to be such a capable individual. Whether it's leading troops in battle or fighting one-on-one, even you and the Divine Race Princess combined might not be his match."
"You were right earlier. This is not the time for internal strife. Let's wait for Rommel to arrive and then discuss a foolproof plan. At the very least, we should hold the line and then proceed slowly."
