Placing poison was just an excuse.

Wang Jixuan really didn't have many techniques for refining poisons, he only had some superficial knowledge from the past.

Master Wang's tunneling speed is quite fast nowadays, covering thousands of miles an hour is no problem, and he has no fear of the high temperature and pressure deep within the earth, nor can he be detected by Blade Beasts or Fake Spiritual Slaves.

He explored underground for a while and quickly found that the Blade Beasts seem to be going all out for a decisive battle this time.

The density of the King-level Blade Beast Group was something he had never seen in his life.

If there were no external forces interfering, humanity would be in real danger this time, unless they emptied their nuclear arsenal.

Master Wang knew, according to Fu Jian and the others' character, that wars are about sustained efforts and measured escalations, dictating how many nuclear bombs can be used in each engagement level.

After a hundred years of depletion and over eighty years into the Fortress Era, human resources are scarce, and nuclear weapons are indeed no longer plentiful.

Without significant breakthroughs in nuclear materials, those strong nukes that can paralyze a Pillar Blade Beast with one hit, rely on increasing the quantity of nuclear material to achieve that effect.

Wang Jixuan thought for a moment, then sent a message to Lingtong, mentioning the underground movement density of the King-level Blade Beast Group, and their destruction of the earth's strata.

Lingtong would naturally pass this information on to Fu Jian.

Then Wang Jixuan turned east and rushed to the old lair of the Blade Beasts.

This time, the two awakened Pillar Blade Beasts were the nearest to the D8 Combined Combat Zone, while the one near Wang Jixuan's second Battle Puppet still lay in a quiet slumber.

This indicates that the Blade Beasts consciously chose the relatively weaker D8 Combined Combat Zone as a breakthrough point.

This is not good news.

The stronger the tactics and strategies of the Blade Beasts, the more trouble humanity faces.

Wang Jixuan's Spiritual Sense easily explored a hundred miles, observing the minutiae everywhere, seeing above and below, nothing barring his vision except an array or restriction.

The density of Blade Beasts here had decreased by eighty percent.

A large number of Blade Beasts had been withdrawn, the underground passages had multiplied several times, and many areas already had continuous collapses, a geological disaster caused by too many tunnels.

Wang Jixuan's second Battle Puppet...

Er, still no movement.

It remained cocooned in that large silk sac, with a wisp of Spiritual Power maintaining basic survival.

If it were a human, it would roughly be in a state of critical illness.

The surrounding Blade Beasts were moving cautiously, afraid of causing any commotion that might take away this 'young' Galino.

Wang Jixuan carefully investigated for a few minutes, secretly releasing his Alien Soul.

When he broke through previously, the Alien Soul automatically returned; he wasn't sure if it had caught the attention of the Blade Beasts.

If the Blade Beasts had already discovered that this Galino was his disguise, the intelligence he gleaned next might be disinformation deliberately spread by the Blade Beasts.

Blade Beasts can't lie?

That must have been the old Blade Beasts.

This thing evolves quickly, especially after developing independent thought; deceit became a necessary tool to sustain its thinking.

Just like Wang Jixuan claiming he's not yet turned demon.

The Alien Soul silently returned to the second Battle Puppet's body.

He dared not let the second Battle Puppet 'revive' immediately, simulating the fragility of a severe injury, then 'barely' plugging into Galino's network.

Master Wang flipped his left hand, and a crystal ball enveloping Old Sophie's Core Circuit fell into his palm, the Spiritual Energy Circuit designed by Amina was already illuminated.

Communication with the Blade Beasts was unimpeded.

[I feel like I'm dying...]

Wang Jixuan spread this message, which the other seven Galinos started to repeat mechanically.

[You are too weak, child.]

[The old body birthed a new soul, inherently fragile.]

[Can you hold on, child?]

[We are about to settle the battle here, and will take you back to our place of origin; if you die, I hope your soul returns there, joining the cycle of civilization.]

Place of origin?

The site where the first Blade Beast was crafted? Or where the Blade Beast group awoke?

Master Wang was a bit curious, but more interested in why the Blade Beasts were certain they could 'soon settle the battle here.'

[Are we...going to win...]

[Yes, child.]

[The despicable cultivator is approaching his doom.]

[We received new assistance.]

[We have awakened two more Beast God Lords; six Beast Gods can act together, this is advice from our partners.]

[They cannot resist our fury.]

[That cultivator will face his own troubles, while we only deal with human soldiers, which is not difficult.]

Wang Jixuan pondered slightly.

It appears that Hei Yao's group had more Spirit Cultivators arrive here.

How did they come?

How did they traverse the planetary barrier?

Transmission technology...

Wang Jixuan suddenly realized.

Opening the planetary barrier allows the interstellar gate controlled by the Blade Beasts to fail to locate this planet because the interstellar gate can only target planets.

The interstellar gate itself is quite grand in scale.

Other transmission technologies, bringing in a few things at human mass, shouldn't have too high a technical threshold; locating them is easier, just send a few individuals to nearby space...

Wang Jixuan muttered a Taoist foul word softly.

He chatted with these Galino for a bit more, but as he could only indirectly hint, he gathered no key information.
