"Hahaha! If Master Jade Blade can truly persuade the Great Ape King to surrender, I will absolutely not interfere, and I truly promise that the Great Ape King can establish the Snow Mountain Demon Country in the Great Snow Mountain. As long as it's willing to personally lead a legion with us to attack the Black Forest!"
Lu Wuchen's words were decisive, as if his credibility was at full level, but this meant that persuading the Great Ape King was really impossible, and it also meant that Lu Wuchen was anxious, genuinely anxious.
Although it couldn't be all, at least half of the pressure was caused by Wang Wu because being assassinated was truly a matter of life and death for him.
Additionally, Wang Wu also estimates that within the Cloud Cauldron Nine Cities Alliance, there might be many questioning voices against Lu Wuchen, so he is forced to take extraordinary measures, like granting power to the West Wilderness Demon Race and contacting the West Sea Bee Kingdom, to spare no cost in conquering the Black Forest and thus gain greater influence.
"Deal! If the Great Ape King really doesn't want to surrender, I will destroy it!"
Master Jade Blade finally agreed, mainly because it also had a common goal with Lu Wuchen.
Such as hunting down the direct descendants of the Bear Demon Emperor, needless to say.
Moreover, the West Sea Bee Kingdom's expansion to the north was blocked by the Black Forest, and it had been coveting the ancient tree resources in the Black Forest for years.
Besides these two reasons, there was another that tempted it, which was supporting the establishment of the ancient bloodline Demon Race nation among the West Wilderness Demon Race.
To be honest, the reason the West Sea Bee Kingdom could be independent from the West Wilderness Demon Race and have a unique landscape is partly due to the bizarre Western Wilderness Desert that isolates the Centipede Ridge, Heavenly Dao Mountain, and Great Snow Mountain, meaning they don't have to suffer invasions from the West Wilderness Demon Race, and the Evil Wind Bone Plague in the desert is no joke.
Another reason is that the West Wilderness Demon Race helps to block the Human Race's westward expansion.
Otherwise, do you really think the Human Race would be so friendly and kind? They praise bees because they can seize most of the honey.
In short, with these three benefits, it is worthwhile to cooperate with the Human Race.
It is still confident in persuading the Mad Tiger King.
However, it truly doesn't trust the Human Race, in the past, Lu Wuchen would absolutely not offer such good terms.
So, it must really thank the ancient bear descendant named Xiong Wu, if it hadn't driven Lu Wuchen to an overwhelmed state, really feeling fear, that old thing wouldn't have conceded a bit.
Because in the eyes of the Human Race, the West Wilderness is the Human Race's West Wilderness, the West Sea is also the Human Race's West Sea, the Black Forest is the Human Race's Black Forest, and even Master Jade Blade is the Human Race's Sister Jade Blade!
"Lu Wuchen, you go ahead first, give me three months, after I arrange everything, I'll meet you outside Heavenly Dao Mountain, I must first persuade the Mad Tiger King, remember to call that Centipede, after we have negotiated the framework of the West Wilderness Alliance, then we'll persuade the Great Ape King!"
"Good! I await your good news!"
Even Lu Wuchen did not oppose, instead, he fully accepted Master Jade Blade's requirement.
This made Wang Wu in the shadows feel somewhat uneasy, could Old Deng have other plans?
Or is he really losing control in the Cloud Cauldron Nine Cities Alliance?
As he was thinking this, suddenly his heart stirred, as if he sensed something, but he quickly withdrew his senses, not daring to act rashly.
But in that huge hive, two unique jade bees, one large and one small, flew up from the bottom.
If speculation is correct, the largest jade bee should be Master Jade Blade, as they flew, inspecting, not seeming very anxious, where they passed, whether worker bees or soldier bees, all greeted reverently.
This felt like a power transfer.
At this time, there was a voice conversation.
"My child, this Bee Palace will pass to you, from now on, all of the West Sea Bee Kingdom is entrusted to you, remember, unless you reach First Grade, do not leave the palace, the Human Race is cunning, I cannot be sure if Lu Wuchen is plotting, but such a heaven-sent opportunity cannot be missed, otherwise, if we sit back and watch the Human Race swallow the West Wilderness, then my West Sea Bee Kingdom will be in peril."
"Yes, Mother."
"Additionally, the other races' members in our kingdom need to continue strict management, not allowing them to have inappropriate thoughts, wait until we conquer the Black Forest, and after acquiring the second ancient tree trunk to establish a second Bee Palace, we can then suitably ease our policies."
"Mother, aren't we going to fully attack the Black Forest, why are we only seizing one ancient tree trunk?"
"Foolish child, can Lu Wuchen's words be trusted? In fact, even if the Great Ape King and Mad Tiger King all surrender, plus that Centipede, and the Cloud Cauldron Nine Cities Alliance and my West Sea Bee Kingdom, it still can't destroy the Black Forest, our goal is to seize one living ancient tree trunk, then immediately withdraw troops, I guess Lu Wuchen's side is probably the same, actually, seizing one living ancient tree is enough for development for many years."
"Oh, I understand, Mother..."
"Very good, guard the Bee Palace, prevent Lu Wuchen from taking advantage in an attack, I need to go ahead."
"Mother, aren't you going to set out in three months?"
"Hehe, that would be too late, I need to make a trip to Yun Ding City, and find out what exactly happened there that forced Lu Wuchen into chaos, making such concessions akin to losing sovereignty and dishonor, otherwise, he may have ulterior motives, this might be a plot of the Human Race against my West Sea Bee Kingdom. My child, in the future always keep a few minds alert."
"Yes, I understand, Mother..."
The voices gradually faded, and Wang Wu quietly paid his respects in his heart.
"Benefactor Big Sister, you're absolutely right. In everything, it's really important to keep an extra eye out."
After that, he didn't rush to refine his Lifebound Demon Soldiers, but instead, patiently hibernated for half a month. Once he had accumulated enough Vitality, he left his hibernation place and followed the original path out, intending to boost his Evil Wind Resistance.
Evil Wind Resistance is crucial; it's the key to gaining more Bloodline Evolution Level.
Everything went smoothly. Along the tunnel he previously dug, Wang Wu first activated As You Wish Settling Technique, transforming himself into a Human Race man, a frail figure standing at 1.6 meters tall and weighing under 100 pounds, to facilitate the digging.
He then dug back 1,500 miles in one go before stopping, pulling out one of his bear hairs to leave as a marker.
Well, he didn't possess the Little Wild Boar's echolocation ability, but it's actually not bad; through the bear hair, he could accurately sense his former position within a 50-mile radius.
After all, outside was the desert, and he didn't know what might happen. What if he got lost and couldn't find the Bee Palace again?
Continuing, he dug towards the surface, with the bear hair for positioning, finding it quite convenient.
Eventually, he dug 3,000 meters before finally hitting sand, undoubtedly indicating that even in this Western Wilderness Desert, the terrain varies greatly due to the distance.
Above, the sound of the wind, wooooo, could already be heard, and at this moment, to tell the truth, Wang Wu felt a tightening sensation around his backside, forming a psychological shadow.
"Alas, what a sin!"
With a sigh, Wang Wu slowly clawed at the sand, using the most common way to climb up. After climbing nearly 500 meters deep into the sand layer in one go, he immediately deactivated the As You Wish Settling Technique, returning his body to normal size.
At this moment, the desolate desert landscape unfolded before his eyes, looking the same as before; even the strange Evil Wind was just as erratic as ever, blowing haphazardly. You would say the wind is strong, but it's actually not, at most 7-8 level strong. When it hits the body, it only feels very dry, no different from ordinary wind and sand.
Wang Wu dared not move and lay on the spot, letting the wind and sand blow past, and allowing the yellow sand to bury him.
The first day, he felt nothing. He even saw the bright sky at sunset, experiencing the desert sunset for a moment, believing this was the Alashan Desert.
But when night fell that same day, he suddenly jumped up in shock, as he sensed very clearly that the bear hair he buried 3,500 meters deep underground had moved, it was moving!
Damn, it's as if he saw a ghost!
In the blink of an eye, it moved 300 meters!
Did it become sentient?
Or did something discover this bear hair?
Wang Wu suddenly felt a very bad premonition. This couldn't be a haunting, rather, the surface sand might be moving!
It's damn scary.
But why couldn't he sense the sand moving?
If the sand moved, would the soil layer beneath it also move?
At this point, Wang Wu noticed his bear hair stopped moving, staying 300 meters away.
He thought it over, decided not to bother with it, but inwardly, he elevated the enigmatic level of this desert to the highest.
The next morning, the wind surprisingly stopped; there wasn't a breeze, and the sky turned azure blue, even sunlight fell, prompting Wang Wu to prepare to release his Companion Demon Vine to absorb Spirit Essence. Yet he looked at the sky perplexed, as the golden sunlight appeared dreamlike, without a trace of Spirit Essence.
Everything seemed fake.
Two hours later, a slight wind and sand began to rise, at about level 3-4, but still, could this be considered Evil Wind?
Wang Wu didn't act rashly. Around noon, he was startled again, as that bear hair underground moved another 500-600 meters in a short span.
This seemed to have some sort of pattern.
Wang Wu didn't budge, continuing to endure the wind. The entire afternoon was uneventful, until dusk when he unexpectedly saw a demon.
A large lizard, about 400-500 meters long, looking like a large ship, crawled swiftly over the dunes. On the back of this giant lizard were twenty-seven demons, all of them wrapped in thick robes, resembling varying large mushrooms in width and height.
Wang Wu watched in amazement, realizing that there were indeed natives living in this desert!
After hesitating for a moment, he cautiously activated a Concealing Demon Pill to follow them. He was immensely curious about this desert.
Of course, he wouldn't stray more than 50 miles from that bear hair. Compared to the desert's weirdness, he couldn't bear to give up the stable gains from the Bee Palace.
At least not for now.
