After the stakes were seized, the group of kings slowly dispersed.
Only the Lin family, Zhang Qiming, and the Tian Shi Fu members who came with the young Taoist priest remained.
Lin Wufa asked Lin Zhan, "Zhan'er, why did you come here instead of resting at home?"
Lin Zhan chuckled and replied, "The Dark Department reported that our current offensive is stalled. Since I have nothing else to do, I came to take a look."
Lin Wufa nodded and said, "The offensive was going quite smoothly. We were following our plan, which was primarily resource recovery with offense as a secondary objective. However, the Tree Demon Clan suddenly started releasing poison and brought in a group of poisonous fierce beasts to blockade the battlefield."
Zhang Qiming, standing beside them, nodded in agreement. "This is also thanks to the personal first-aid kits you prepared. The soldiers took the antidote pills as soon as they were poisoned, which is why there were no casualties."
Hearing about poison, Lin Zhan looked at the young Taoist priest with a lewd expression.
At the same time, the young Taoist priest's eyes lit up, and he even sucked back the saliva that was about to drip out:
"My goodness, poison is good! That stuff is very valuable. If we can get our hands on it, how much money will we save?"
Lin Zhan nodded in agreement and immediately took out his communicator and made a call.
Not long after, a listless Yamata no Orochi appeared on the screen.
"Uncle, I beg you, find someone else to scam. I really can't take it anymore. I have poison, but I'm not a professional venomous snake!"
It turned out that Lin Zhan and the young Taoist priest, two rascals full of bad ideas, had thought of using poison to attack Rommel's Ten Thousand Races Allied Army.
But poison needed a source. Young Master Lin didn't have any "foundation-level" poisons under his command.
The young Taoist priest secretly took out a book that recorded the nine-headed Xiangliu, which was born in the great marshes and was extremely poisonous. A single drop of its venom could kill a thousand people.
The two of them's eyes lit up instantly upon seeing this record. Then, they took a large spatial bag filled with tonics and went to find Yamata no Orochi, asking it to produce poison.
For this, they even specifically brought Tie Lao Wu and Tie Lao Liu to "take care of Yamata no Orochi's living arrangements" during its poison production.
In reality, they were supervisors. As soon as Yamata no Orochi slacked off, it was sure to get beaten. Now, all nine of Yamata no Orochi's heads were covered in large bumps from these two giant pandas.
Seeing Yamata no Orochi's state, Lin Zhan quickly said, "Don't be wronged. You don't need to produce poison this time. Quickly bring Old Jiu and the others. We're going to catch a professional poison producer."
When Yamata no Orochi heard that it didn't have to work anymore, it immediately perked up. "Understood, Uncle! I'll be right there."
Lin Zhan took out his communicator again and called Hua Shijiu. "Brother, bring the experts from the Shen Nong Clan to catch some extremely venomous fierce beasts. This time, we'll have our source of poison."
Hua Shijiu also sounded excited. "Alright, Big Brother! I'll be right there."
The elders of the Lin family looked at Hua Shijiu in a daze.
Lin Shan mumbled, "Shijiu, this kid was a bit hot-tempered before, but he was still quite introverted. Wasn't he always researching how to save people? How did he become like this now?"
The young Taoist priest said dismissively, "Third Grand Uncle, what are you talking about? Brother Shijiu didn't meet my Big Brother before. If he had met my Big Brother earlier, he would have become like this long ago."
As soon as Lin Zhan hung up the communicator, Yamata no Orochi appeared, breaking through the void, bringing ten nine-headed dragon lizards, including Old Jiu.
"Uncle, where are the people? Who are we going to deal with?"
Tie Lao Wu and Tie Lao Liu, who were following behind Yamata no Orochi, said in confusion:
"What the hell, weren't you just pretending to be dead and half-alive a moment ago? How did you come back to life as soon as you met Little Lin?"
Yamata no Orochi chuckled and said to Lin Zhan, "Uncle abuses me a thousand times, but I treat Uncle as my first love. No need to say more, as long as Uncle gives the word, I'll do anything he asks."
Zhang Qiming looked at Yamata no Orochi in a daze. "What the hell, this guy is a true fanboy?"
Just as Lin Zhan was about to speak, Hua Shijiu, along with his master, the old man from the Shen Nong Clan, walked out.
This time, it wasn't just the father and son who came; they also brought a professional team.
In addition, four burly men dressed in animal skins walked alongside the old man from the Shen Nong Clan.
Upon seeing the old man from the Shen Nong Clan, the young Taoist priest immediately became like a fawning dog and stepped forward. "Ah ha, Grandpa Ancestor, you're here! Please, have a seat."
The old man smiled and took out a spiritual jade gourd, handing it to the young Taoist priest.
"You little fatty have a sweet tongue. Take this for you and your little wife. Bring your little wife to see Grandpa Ancestor more often in the future. That little girl has a spiritual nature and can inherit my legacy."
The young Taoist priest chuckled and said, "Grandpa Ancestor, don't worry, I'll bring Ya'er to see you whenever I have time."
As he spoke, he opened the spiritual jade gourd and peeked inside.
When the young Taoist priest opened the spiritual jade gourd, it was no mere glance. Tie Lao Wu was shocked.
"What the hell, Vitality Pills refined from innate spiritual fruits! This is too damn extravagant! Even the children of an Emperor wouldn't do this!"
The old man from the Shen Nong Clan glared at Tie Lao Wu. "What are you making such a fuss about, you little bear? What's an Emperor? Do we lack that stuff in our families?"
Tie Lao Liu blinked his dark-circled eyes, stared at the old man closely for a moment, then nudged Tie Lao Wu. He quickly prostrated himself on the ground and said,
"Tie family's Little Liu, pays respects to the Ancestor. May the Ancestor be well."
The old man looked at Tie Lao Liu and chuckled, "Your eyesight is quite good, you little bear. Get up. It's not time for you to pay respects to me yet. And where did your father find your tutor, you little bear cub? Why is your way of greeting so awkward?"
Tie Lao Liu grinned and said, "My dad said it was too expensive to hire a teacher, so our family's teacher was kidnapped from somewhere."
Tie Lao Wu also recognized the old man at this moment, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by the old man.
"You few little bear cubs know it. Otherwise, those old fossils from the Ten Thousand Races will say that we humans don't play fair anymore."
Tie Lao Wu and Tie Lao Liu quickly bowed.
"Ancestor, please rest assured, we know the gravity of the situation."
"Ancestor, what is your command this time? We brothers will handle it for you."
Lin Zhan looked at the two giant pandas acting like subservient grandsons and immediately knew that the old man from the Shen Nong Clan had an extraordinary identity.
After all, the only person Lin Zhan knew who could make these scoundrels behave was his own ancestor Zi Qi.
But that was because Zi Qi had beaten them into submission. These rascals were ruthless enough to even drug their own ancestor.
The person who could command such respect from them must be... (leaving a suspense for everyone).
