Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2374 Directly Explode (Third Update, Seeking Guaranteed Monthly Tickets for August)
Faced with the question from Venerable Minning, Venerable Hanli's expression was strange. "It seems to be... the Mother Tree?"

At that time, the ritual implement was being used against the Out-of-Body Insect Clan, so the supernatural power would naturally lock onto the other Out-of-Body Insect Clan.

But precisely because of this, Han Li was not entirely sure whether Xiao Qu had used time magic.

"What kind of thought process is this?" Wenxian and Minning were both stunned.

"Once he recovers, you can ask him," said Jin Ge Zhenxian, indicating that he was used to it. "That guy's ideas are very strange!"

Five days later, Qu Jianlei finished his rest. He hadn't fully recovered to his peak condition, but it wasn't a big deal.

Even so, he still rested inside the Black Horse Tower, which shows that he had overexerted himself quite a bit during this attack.

On the day Qu Jianlei emerged from seclusion, several Star Tapir Venerables arrived.

Hearing that the Zerg and the Treants had actually started cooperating, the entire Tapir race felt like the sky had fallen.

This has always been their biggest worry, and for quite some time, they have been deliberately provoking a war between the two races.

The tapirs had relatively little contact with the insectoids, partly because they intentionally retreated, and partly because they deliberately allowed the tree-like creatures to take the lead.

Needless to say, the tapir tribe is quite adept at these kinds of clever tricks.

However, after more than a thousand years of war among the three races, the tapirs gradually put this worry out of their minds.

They have confirmed that there is no possibility of any easing of tensions, let alone cooperation, among the three races.

Now that the Tapir Clan has heard that the Insect Clan and the Tree Clan have indeed joined forces, they immediately go to investigate.

The Tapir race has battle zones with both the Insect race and the Tree race. A little inquiry revealed that the two races are still locked in fierce combat.

The Zerg do control some locusts, but it's a pet-like control, much like how they cultivate some tree-like creatures as food.

They even kept some tapirs in captivity, which can be considered a form of animal husbandry...

I haven't actually discovered any Tree Locusts that joined the Zerg team and cultivated themselves into gods through incense offerings.

However, Rajan possesses a Golden Core Flying Locust, which is said to have been obtained from a cultivator, and this is solid evidence!

The Star-Burning Venerable was no pushover; he was able to analyze the situation and determine that this flying locust had indeed changed its cultivation method.

So several powerful beings came to the cultivator to confirm the news.

Fortunately, the group of five also kept a Golden Core flying locust, and mentioned that they had previously captured a Nascent Soul flying locust.

However, they believe that dead Zerg are good Zerg, so using them for experiments is a way of making use of waste.

The relevant experiment was only a few days ago, and Minning Zhenzun was able to recreate the scene by simply going back in time.

Moreover, the Star-Burning Venerable has the ability to judge whether this retrospection is true or false.

After watching the rewind, the Star Tapir Grandmasters remained silent for a long time before finally asking, "Why didn't we discover it?"
The cultivators stated that they were only responsible for disseminating information and were unaware of the specific details concerning the cultivators.

The tapirs didn't distrust each other; they simply wanted to understand the extent of their cooperation.
Based on the current situation, it's not a comprehensive cooperation, but the future is uncertain.

They hoped to confirm from the cultivators that this was just an isolated phenomenon and not a universal one.

But if the group of five themselves are not sure, how could they possibly make such a judgment?

In fact, they hoped the tapir tribe would get nervous—it's unbelievable how frustrating the tribal war has become.

The Star Tapirs also wanted to know the tribe to which the two locusts belonged, and the insectoid tribe they had joined.

However, Venerable Minning said that you can believe it if you want, or not if you don't. We have no obligation to inform you, nor do we owe you anything.

Ultimately, the cultivators were thoroughly fed up with this race and had never seen anyone act like a freeloader so brazenly.

Their attitude displeased the Tapir Clan, but they dared not retaliate—even the Star Tapir Grandmaster knew perfectly well why the other party acted this way.

They understood better that cultivators didn't care whether the two races cooperated or not; they could simply fight together if necessary.

But the Tapir tribe simply couldn't do it. They were already fighting on two fronts, and if both tribes joined forces to attack the Tapir tribe...

I really can't even imagine such a scene!

So the Great Lord of the Tapir Clan suggested, "How about we revise the cooperation plan?"
The last revised plan was that cultivators would help them protect the planet and not participate in large-scale wars.

As of now, the cultivators still have three years left on their promised deadline, and if calculated based on the number of alien beings they kill who have left their physical bodies, they are still four short.

However, the tapirs believed that this could not continue. They were certain that after three years, the cultivators would truly abandon their responsibilities!
But by then, the cooperation between the Treants and the Zerg might have expanded to a considerable extent.

Before they arrived, the Star-Burning Venerables had already reached a preliminary consensus: if this matter was true, they would have to take the initiative to attack.

The purpose of the attack was to disrupt the cooperation that had been formed between the two races, and at the same time kill as many of the alien race's high-end combat forces as possible.

The tapirs don't really have much guts; they actually hope that other races will fight each other so they can hide and wait to take advantage of the situation.

However, given the current situation, they can no longer sit idly by and watch the tigers fight; they have no choice but to take the initiative and attack.

Since they're going to take action, they'll naturally think of the most suitable henchmen!
Previously, the Star Eater Venerables had restrained cultivators from launching attacks, intending to stall for time and wait for unforeseen changes.

Now, a change has occurred, and unfortunately, the situation is developing in a direction unfavorable to them.

The Star Eater Grand Venerable who came this time was once again led by Lata, who hoped that the cultivators would take the initiative to kill the alien Grand Venerables.

This time, Jin Ge Zhenxian understood. No wonder Xiao Qu said before going into seclusion—perhaps we won't have to wait much longer.

It was precisely for this reason that the four Immortal Venerables remained silent about the previous battle.

It wasn't meant to create panic among the tapirs, but this group... really deserves to be dealt with!
Sure enough, they gave a vague explanation, and without them even having to ask for war, the tapir tribe brought it up themselves!

Minning Zhenzun said that the suggestion could be considered, but his side would choose its own opponent and would not accept the assignment from the Tapir Clan.

Grand Master Lata suggests that you prioritize dealing with the alien races with whom you have already reached an agreement, and ideally, both sides should act in unison.

But Minning's answer was that the former could be considered, but the latter... don't even think about it!

The possibility of fighting alongside the Tapir tribe will never come again!
The cultivators were ruthless in slapping faces.

Lata wanted to argue, but he was too ashamed to do so, and in the end he could only say dejectedly: "We'll send two Grand Masters to observe, is that alright?"
Those who are good at using clever tricks are also the most wary of being deceived—even if the chances are slim.

However, Minning believed that this request was reasonable, and he emphasized one point: if the Great Venerable One who was watching intervened, the cooperation would be terminated immediately!

This shows how much cultivators despise the tapir race—they resolutely refuse even the potential assistance of a great venerable!
However, Venerable Minning did not intend to insult the other party; he was just worried that the accompanying Venerable Star-Mo would recklessly provoke a fight!
The group of five acts with discretion and can judge for themselves which battles are worth fighting and which are not so necessary.

However, if the Star Eater Venerable tries to be clever, he could easily put everyone in a passive position.

It's not that Min Ning looks down on the Tapir tribe, but rather that this tribe's actions are inexplicably bizarre!

They are capable of doing things that are all about the beginning and no end!

However, for the Star Eater, this statement did not cause much harm, but it was extremely insulting!
However, circumstances dictate that they have no power to argue at this moment.

The following are some details, which don't need to be elaborated on.

It is worth mentioning that the tapir tribe rejected Rajan's application to travel with the cultivators, believing that "staying behind would be beneficial for communication between the two sides."

Rajan does indeed retain a trace of the aura of the Golden Immortal, but is that really the problem?
Ultimately, the tapir clan didn't want to see this guy, who was "very close to cultivators," get even closer!
However, cultivators were already used to such petty schemes and had no interest in even complaining about them, indicating that they didn't care who followed suit.

In the end, it was decided that one of those accompanying him would be Ratan, and the other would be a new face.

Ratan is not only a familiar face, but also has enough knowledge and experience, so he is quite suitable.

Another point worth mentioning is that those cultivators undergoing the "trials" continue to maintain a state of combat.

Once the group of five leaves, without their protectors, they will be in some danger.

However, if the trial participants suddenly disappear, the Zerg might notice something amiss, so it's necessary to keep things as they are.

Moreover, the group of five has decided to cause a great deal of destruction, making it inconvenient for these cultivators to participate in battles on such a battlefield.

In any case, as long as the trainees are told to be careful in everything they do, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Three days later, the group of five, along with the two Star Tapir Grandmasters, broke through space and left.

Their first target was the Out-of-Body Mother Tree that had been scared away by Qu Jianlei in the last battle!

The two sides are already enemies, and he has already promised the Tapir Clan, so it is perfectly reasonable to get rid of this guy who cooperated with the Zerg.

Fortunately, True Venerable Hanli arrived just in time last time, and the mother tree fled in such a hurry that it did not completely erase its aura.

Therefore, finding its home planet should not be too easy.

The five people and two Star-level Tapirs had barely emerged from the sub-layer of space when the two Great Venerables confirmed it: "As expected... they colluded!"

Around the Treefolk's homeworld, there are not only vast forests, but also seven or eight not insignificant groups of Zerg.

These two sworn enemies actually live together in great harmony, sometimes so close that they can attack each other at any time.

This is not an open declaration of alliance between the two, but rather a promise from the Out-of-Body Scarab to the Mother Tree—to protect it from Zerg attacks.

But from the perspective of the tapir, this needs no further explanation.

Immediately afterwards, Qu Jianlei asked Jin Ge, "Do you still want to kill him yourself?"

"Forget it," Jin Ge Zhenxian shook his head. It was the first time he had ever seen two mortal enemies cooperate.

"There's probably too much mess going on here, no need to get involved. Just blow it up."

Since he had said that, Qu Jianlei naturally wouldn't stand on ceremony anymore. He was carried away by Xizhao and disappeared into space in an instant.
