“What’s the matter? The crabs have gone crazy!”
“Warn people at the back and ask them to be careful.”
“Let’s go first. The destination is not far away. If we go through here, we can enter the Great Deities Palace.”
From afar, as he heard indistinct voices from behind, Thunderlord exhaled for a long while and thought of a secret meeting between the ten gods of Baoze, which was convened by the Lightning King half an hour before their departure.
“The real goal of your mission is to keep all the demon descendants who entered the Great Deities Palace there forever.” At that time, Lightning King was sitting in the chairman’s seat, his hands crossed, as he delivered this absurd and uninhibited task.
Earth God immediately retorted, “It can’t be done.”
Thunderlord said, “No, we can do it. We can use the Great Deities Palace.”
Lightning King nodded. “Yes, according to the information provided by Li Xianyu, the Demonic Priest used the Great Deities Palace to kill the elites of the Aoki family. At that time, Japan had not surrendered, and he was not a Peak Gokudo Path yet.”
Food God squinted. “This means that there are dangerous things in the Great Deities Palace.”
“Yes, but we don’t know the Great Deities Palace, so you need to be flexible. You can’t blindly expose the real intention and clash head-on with the major forces.” Lightning King warned. “The temple of gods is a double-edged sword, so we must be careful.”
The content of the meeting was roughly like this. It was a concept to kill all demon descendants. The ten gods of Baoze had a list of people who must be killed. The others were optional.
However, if the hit list was executed perfectly, at least half of the local demon descendants who enter the Great Deities Palace would die, and they were all experts and high-level officials of the other major forces.
Every guy on the list had a shady background. He had either committed a crime, or was an anti-Baoze personnel.
Ten S-class people were the peak of Baoze’s combat power, and they commanded respect even from the big boss. Given the level of forces entering the Great Deities Palace this time, it wasn’t a big problem if things were handled well.
Thunderlord lay on his colleague’s shoulder, as he dashed rapidly. There were bubbles emerging from the surrounding river. It seems that all the crabs sleeping at the bottom of the river had been awakened by several 100,000 volt attacks.
The senior staff had been fighting endlessly. Their physical strength was exhausted and they were breathless, but no one dared to stop, as they gritted their teeth and sprinted.
It was only two or three kilometers from the destination, which was equivalent to the last ten meters that a sprinter ran. One had to rush to the destination with one’s teeth clenched.
As the senior employees were on the verge of blacking out, Thunderlord suddenly smelt a strange fragrance which lured his saliva to secrete crazily, and his stomach acid surged.
There were a series of loud laughs.
As they dashed out of the thick fog, the four senior employees stopped and froze on the spot.
Thunderlord jumped down from his colleague’s shoulder, patted him gratefully on the shoulder, then turned around and looked at him. First, he saw a huge bronze door, standing in front like a hill, with thick fog and no top.
It was like the gate to a heavenly palace.
Under the bronze gate, a group of people sat around in twos and threes, each holding a crab leg longer and coarser than themselves. Among them, the most exaggerated was Li Xianyu. He owned a big pincer by himself. The size of the big pincer was equivalent to a car.
Li Xianyu’s left hand held a bottle of hot sauce, and his right hand was picking at the crack of the hard shell. Every time, he would grab a handful of white and tender crab meat, pour some hot sauce into his mouth, and chew it.
This scene looked like the witch’s candy house in a fairy tale. The whole house was made of candy. You could eat to your heart’s content. It was a holy place for children.
Not far away from this group of people lay the bodies of the crabs. The legs and pincers of the crab had been removed cleanly, and they had died a tragic death.
The one who was responsible for baking crab legs was the elderly Fire God. At his feet, there were piles of crab legs. Fire God lifted a crab leg like a barbell and chanted with a deep and low voice. The crab legs were wrapped in the blazing fire. After ten seconds, the fire disappeared. The crab legs were intact, and they were fragrant.
A senior employee received the crab leg and bowed to thank him. Fire God’s face was satisfied, as if he was an old chef.
This excellent ability to control fire made Thunderlord want to praise him, but he couldn’t. What’s the matter, old brother? You are Fire God, but you have become a cook?
Thunderlord had the feeling of going to the wrong set. It was the feeling that a celebrity had turned into a captive of delicious food. An adrenaline-inducing fight scene, but it had suddenly turned into a cooking show.
“Yo, here you are! Don’t stand there. Come here and eat. Hurry up and replenish your strength. Ouch, the crabs are delicious!” Earth God waved vehemently to him.
The colleagues who buried themselves in the food raised their heads and smiled happily. They waved to Thunderlord and invited him to change his style and join in on the delicious food.
Thunderlord swallowed quietly and walked over with his colleagues. Coughing, he said, “Everyone, don’t eat first, listen to me.”
His colleagues ate well and didn’t pay much attention to him.
Thunderlord frowned and kicked Ape God. “Ape God, our preliminary plan has been completed.”
While eating, Ape God said, “Well done. Remember to shift the blame later. The crab is delicious.”
Thunderlord took a deep breath. “Don’t eat anymore, let them prepare. In another half an hour, we should enter the Great Deities Palace.”
At this time, Fire God roasted a crab leg and handed it to him. “Thunderlord, eat some and replenish your strength.”
Forced by circumstances, Thunderlord had to take the crab leg and cut it into five sections, which were distributed to the senior staff of his team. He sat on the ground and put the thick crab leg on his legs, peeled the shell of the crab and exposed the tender white crab meat, which gave out some peculiar fragrance.
“Here!” Earth God threw over a bottle of hot sauce.
Thunderlord followed Li Xianyu’s way of eating, grabbed a handful of tender crab meat, and poured the hot sauce into his mouth.
In a flash, the unique flavor of spicy and crab meat bombarded his taste buds. His nose cavity was filled with a strong aroma of crab meat.
The crab meat was delicate, chewy and tasted first-class. Most importantly, there was no fishy smell, which was different from any meat he had eaten. Just a bottle of Old Godmother chili sauce was delicious. If these crabs were handed over to five-star chefs, how delicious would they be?
Thunderlord chewed the crab meat. He couldn’t wait to swallow it. However, he was reluctant to swallow it like this.
Ape God ate crab meat and asked, “Did anyone see you?”
Thunderlord replied, “Don’t disturb me when I’m eating or sleeping.”
Ape God was speechless. Finally, he swallowed the crab meat. A moment later, a warm heatwave rose from his abdomen and poured into his four limbs. It was like a tired person soaking in a hot spring, comfortable.
Thunderlord was very surprised. It turned out that crab meat could allow them to quickly recover their physical strength. It was no wonder that his colleagues were all like hungry ghosts.
“The effect is good, right?” Ape God laughed. “We didn’t dare to eat it at first. Fortunately, the Food God was the first one to eat crabs. With him, we dare to eat anything.”
“That’s right,” said Thunderlord, who quickly finished eating the remains of the crab legs and felt that his physical strength was almost restored. He got up and moved his muscles and bones. “Black God, White God, and Ape God, it’s time for us to save our companions.”
With a tacit smile, twenty S-class employees disappeared into the fog.
After running for a while, he saw that the demon descendants of the Shentu family were fighting fiercely with the crabs. Both sides had suffered heavy losses. The blood stained the black platform red.
Crabs were constantly climbing out of the river, with the demon descendants fighting a large amount.
“Don’t be afraid, everyone. We’ll save you!” thundered Thunderlord.
He took the lead, gathered his thunder spear in his hand, threw it hard, killed a crab, and saved two demon descendants who were not strong enough.
The employees of Baoze Group joined in the fight, quickly killed the crabs climbing on the bank, and created a chance for the demon descendants of the Shentu family to escape.
“Another five kilometers to the finish line, come on, sprint there,” Ape God roared.
The Shentu family was stunned. Unexpectedly, Baoze’s people had come forward to save them at the critical moment. They were slightly moved.
Shentu Changgong’s skills were still there. He wiped off the blood stains on his long sword and boomed, “Why did the crabs suddenly go berserk?”
Thunderlord shook his head. “I don’t know. Maybe we have too many people. There are so many people, which lured the crabs out from the bottom of the river.”
Shentu Changgong frowned deeply.
Earth God shouted, “We don’t have time for nonsense. Hurry up, or the crabs will come back. We have to save the next group.”
Shentu Changgong had to salute with his fist. “Thank you very much, we will trouble you to save the people behind.”
After he finished, he departed swiftly with his party.
After they had gone, Earth God muttered, “Unfortunately, the casualties are all middle and low-level demon descendants, and the experts of all major forces will not fall here easily.”
Hence, Baoze’s people played by ear and forged some good relationships. They stabbed one in the back, but one had to thank them for saving his life.
White God remarked coquettishly, “It’s good that they lost some of these forces too. We have not planned to exhaust their combat power once and for all.”
Black God said in a deep voice, “Don’t talk about it. Be careful of super ears. It’s important to save people!”
Ape God laughed. “Yes, it’s important to save people!” He emphasized his sentence.
Baoze, the wolf, couldn’t strike now. Hence, they had to be the good guys. If they were suspected... It was impossible not to be suspected at all, but the major forces could not be sure of their identity. Otherwise, it was not conducive to the later stages of the plan. The best state was to continue letting them be uncertain and suspicious.
...
Chen family: “What’s the matter? Why did the crabs riot?”
Baoze: “I don’t know. Maybe there are too many of us. Go quickly. The end is ahead. Don’t look back. We’re going to save the others.”
Chen family: “Thank you.”
Baoze: “Don’t mention it, we should go through the difficulties hand in hand.”
...
Shen family: “Why is this happening? Are you guys behind this?”
Baoze: “Go away, we are kind enough to save you, a group of blind, inhuman fools. Believe it or not, we will kill you.”
Shen family: “...”
...
Association of Superpowered Beings: “We have lost a lot of forces. Your plan is not working. Give us an explanation.”
Baoze: “I’m sorry, this is not what we wanted to see. It’s everyone’s first visit to the Great Deities Palace. The end is right ahead. Baoze will take you to the Great Deities Palace.”
Association of Superpowered Beings: “OK!”
...
Forty minutes later, everyone gathered at the bronze door. All the major forces counted their remaining people and fell into silence.
Many disciples and clansmen had been lost in this wave of attacks. Although the high-level combat power had not diminished much, most of the middle and low-level personnel had been killed and injured.
In silence, the leaders of the major forces reflected on why all this had happened.
The Great Deities Palace was really not a good place!
