Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2360 The Middleman

Han Li Zhenzun suggested using two flawed residences, but Qu Jianlei thought about it and felt that it wasn't enough.

So he decided to throw away three flawed statues, even if they were somewhat obscured, their effectiveness wouldn't be too bad.

Han Li Zhenzun gave him a speechless look. "You think... I couldn't have thought of that?"

"You didn't give me time to explain," Qu Jianlei said, both amused and exasperated. "This battle... was extremely dangerous!"

The other party asked him to set the timer quickly, which he did, but this job could not afford any mistakes, and there was no time to explain anything else.

"You almost screwed me over," Han Li Zhenzun was speechless, as the accident had nearly exhausted him.

However, he couldn't lash out yet, nor could he easily reveal his situation—even if he wasn't wary of his own people, he still had to be wary of the tapirs.

Then he looked at Rajan, who was not far away, and said, "We will not pursue them. This time we cannot treat it as a defensive formation."

He spoke calmly, and after he finished, his eyelids drooped, but his tone carried a strong, uncompromising air.

What a joke! He's really exhausted himself this time; we absolutely have to talk about it.

Rajan is now essentially the central liaison, and he highly agrees with the ideals of cultivators.

Hearing this, it nodded. "Of course, I'll go and tell my clan."

Strictly speaking, the scope of this bombing was not very wide.

According to Qu Jianlei's analysis, the Zerg's exit from the body likely involved some adjustments to the flawed design.

Instead of a direct attack, we cautiously concealed ourselves when facing the "unknown object," otherwise the bombing report would have been more effective.

But in the end, it's pretty much the same; the mutual influence and resonance between spatial fluctuations are not so easy to shield.

However, it was fortunate that he lost three of his stars; the effect of only two would have been greatly reduced.

Although the results were not ideal, and many Zerg Nascent Soul cultivators even survived on the edge of the battlefield, this battle was coming to an end.

Braving the aftershocks of the spatial fluctuations, the tapirs diligently pursued and killed the remaining enemies and cleaned up the battlefield.

The Tapir's home planet was also affected to some extent, but not seriously; there were few injuries and only a handful of deaths.

After about two weeks, the casualty figures for both sides were roughly tallied.

Leaving aside the tapir race, focusing only on the insect race, of the twelve that left their bodies, five to six must have perished, with two escaping with only remnants of their souls.

Those with minor injuries who exited their bodies numbered at most three or four.

This battle was a great victory. Although the local tribes suffered heavy casualties and it was a Pyrrhic victory, no great masters of the tapir tribe perished!

All the Star-Burning Venerables unanimously agreed to the cultivators' suggestion that the method of counting based on the formation should not be used.

However, Jin Ge's condition was: once this battle is over, we'll be even!
The cultivators were originally short eight spots for the Nascent Soul stage, but in this battle, they saved the entire situation!

Without their intervention, not only would the local tribes have been slaughtered, but how many of the fifteen Star Tapir Grandmasters would have escaped?

On the battlefield, it's not just about the number of enemies killed, but also about the achievements in rescuing friendly forces.

Jin Ge Zhenxian was quite certain that at least three of the Out-of-Body Insectoids that formed the Four Symbols Divine Descent Array had perished.

Two of them were completely wiped out, with no possibility of even going into hibernation.

Of the three spirits he and Wenxian severely injured, at least one has perished.

Jin Ge's account was similar to the results of the tapir's statistics, so the tapir had no choice but to accept it.

Rajan relayed the tribe's message: "We acknowledge the merits of the venerable immortals, but you really cannot leave."

This was a great victory, but it also left many Star Eater Venerables with lingering fear. Without cultivators, their race would have been severely weakened.

Considering that the Zerg may even exist beyond the Body Realm, they must maintain contact with cultivators... there is really no other choice.

"Can't we leave?" Jin Ge Zhenxian said bluntly, "We're all regretting agreeing to cooperate with you in the first place!"

"With that little fighting spirit... even a Grandmaster could desert in the face of battle. I really want to ask, if you don't lose, who should lose?"

Rajan replied sheepishly, "The tribe has already reached a consensus that the Great Lord will be severely punished."

"Only a severe punishment?" Golden Spear Immortal sneered. "If this were applied to cultivators, deserters would certainly die!"

"If someone at the Nascent Soul level dared to do that, their entire family would be wiped out!"

This is not an empty threat. When facing racial wars, it is perfectly normal for cultivators to flee without a fight if their top combat power flees.

“In the end, it’s just reinforcements,” Rajan replied helplessly. “It’s already brave of it to come at all; many great beings have come but haven’t shown up.”

Although the tapir tribe's thinking is peculiar, there are some patterns to follow—after all, they've come, haven't they?

Whether it's to make a name for themselves or to gain credit, it's better to come than not to come at all.

"I'd rather it hadn't come," Jin Ge Zhenxian shook his head. "Quality over quantity in warfare... Forget it, I can't explain it to you!"

The cultural differences were too great, and he couldn't be bothered to take it seriously. "I'm just letting you know, so you won't accuse us of breaking our promise!"

"We'll add more money!" Rajan had no choice but to pull out his trump card. "The tribe has reached a preliminary consensus."

"Holy crap..." Jin Ge Zhenxian was speechless. You guys are really sensible!

However, after thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, to be honest, I feel ashamed to know you all!"

"Although we came here looking for opportunities, we've had a really tough time dealing with this mess!"

“Actually, each tribe has hidden treasures,” Rajan said frankly. “If you think it’s not enough, you can ask for more.”

"We're just embarrassed!" Jin Ge Zhenxian glared at it. "Besides, we can't handle everything... Hmm, what kind of treasures are there?"

“I can inquire about that,” Rajan replied. “Do you have a list of your needs?”

“No need,” Qu Jianlei shook his head, saying calmly, “We really don’t want to deal with the tapir tribe anymore.”

Rajan had always valued this little Nascent Soul cultivator, and now he values ​​it even more—he could see that this battle was a turning point.

Knowing it had no right to argue, it could only plead, "But without you, the tapir race might truly perish!"

Qu Jianlei suggested, "If you're really interested, why don't you act as a middleman and help us get some business?"

He finally understood that if Blue Star was a large-scale makeshift operation, then the entire Tapir tribe was not worthy of the title "operation."

Dealing with such a loose organization is a complete waste of time—at least you have a martial arts alliance leader!

Each party has its own calculations, there is a lack of binding force, and there will be no serious punishment for violating the rules.

This is the case in everyday society, and it can cause a lot of trouble, let alone during wartime.

However, he had no interest in pointing out the drawbacks; he had no obligation to do so—in the adult world, there are only choices, not lectures.

“A middleman…” Rajan was clearly tempted upon hearing this.

“You can profit from this,” Jin Ge Zhenxian immediately tempted him upon hearing this.

As a master of magic, he was very familiar with this method, and he had to admit that this approach could simplify complex matters.

He then emphasized, "You can also make other tribes... owe you favors!"

“That’s true…” Rajan was clearly tempted.

It now serves as a link between the clan and cultivators, and has already shown some clear benefits.

As a junior among the Star Tapir Grand Venerables, this kind of treatment was something it had never been able to obtain before.

Then we must take action. "Okay, everyone, please wait a moment, I will report the situation immediately."

After it left, Jin Ge asked Qu Jianlei, "This great victory should... prevent any major incidents in the short term."

“This group is short-sighted. I think your suggestion might be a waste of time.”

Qu Jianlei agreed with his guess. That's just how the tapirs are. Once the pressure is reduced, their sense of crisis might lessen.

But it didn't matter, he said nonchalantly, "Immortal Venerable Hanli said, don't expect other races to be enlightened."

"Let's pretend it doesn't exist. We can still find opportunities even without the Tapir Clan!"

"If we don't keep in touch for a long time, and then something really happens to them, hehe... our asking price can be flexible!"

"I think Xiao Qu's suggestion is good!" Wen Xian Zhen Zun expressed his support. "Those who can't see the situation clearly will be taught a lesson by the price."

"Min Ning, what do you have to say about this, you unscrupulous merchant?"

“You fucking... I can’t be bothered with you,” Minning Zhenzun replied listlessly.

He fought fiercely in this battle and is still recovering, but he wasn't as conspicuous as Han Li.

However, this did not prevent him from stating, "Reducing the amount of money sold is also a form of hoarding... but we need to be patient."

Han Li remained silent until she heard this, then chuckled, "Do we cultivators lack that little bit of patience?"

"The key is these bastards, I really need to give them a good thrashing... I just can't get over them!"

It didn't take long for the group of five to reach a consensus.

Some teammates are terrible... maggots. It's not just a matter of not being able to carry them; they can all affect your Dao heart. There's no need to be greedy for those conveniences.

However, the extent of the tapir's incompetence once again shattered their expectations.

It is said that the cultivators have made up their minds to leave, and within just five days, more than thirty Star Tapir Venerables have arrived.

Some of the great venerable ones came after the battle and, having heard of the great victory here, wanted to see it for themselves.

But most of them came simply to persuade cultivators to stay.

It is said that some of the Star Tapir Grandmasters were too far away, or the battle lines were too tight, or they were not well-informed; otherwise, their numbers would be even greater.

They wanted to meet with the cultivators for a talk, but Qu Jianlei and his group of five entered the sub-layer of space, giving them no chance to speak.

That's not angry enough; there's no need to see him.

Only Rajan, whose thinking is gradually aligning with that of a cultivator, is still willing to communicate with them.

Although the tapir clan was well aware that this battle would likely bring peace for quite some time, they still did not want the cultivators to leave.

They were even more timid than Qu Jianlei and the others had imagined—perhaps they were truly terrified?

The Tapir tribe believes that the Out-of-Body Insect Clan is unlikely to launch a new round of large-scale conflict in the short term, but they should not be underestimated.

After all, in their previous battles against the Zerg, there were very few instances of even two God Lords fighting together, but this time there were twelve of them!
