Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Chapter 978: Chapter 774: Only Truth Is Eternal

Although the ’Young Master’ tried to provoke, the performance of the people from Doomsday who had no intention of resisting made him grudgingly shut up... After all, ’Snow Cloud Peak’s’ eyes were glaring at him fiercely.

The Undead Tribe soon got back on track... The train engine started again.

But this time, they seemed to be more vigilant, leaving a watchman every so often to ensure that in the event of an attack, everyone could be notified in time, rather than waking up to find they could only choose between paying to have a Priest resurrect them and returning to the city to get back on the road.

As for those insect eggs... Hill already saw someone putting them in their Pet Space... It’s unclear if this is in response to ’Snow Cloud Peak’s’ previous words, but many young girls are holding their insect eggs, seemingly using their spiritual power to communicate with the small purple worms inside.

The journalist who was broadcasting live and lingering on the spot suddenly exclaimed, quickly moving forward as he noticed someone arguing with ’Snow Old Dog.’

Once the camera zoomed in, Hill also recognized them as the Clan Leader of the Black and White Path family and several of their family members.

”Old Dog! Are you stupid?” ’Mobi Chenxin’ gritted his teeth, ”Why do you always have to be sarcastic?

Do you even understand how useful these worms are to the Black and White Path?

Your nonsense just made those girls who might not have wanted the worms take a third of them!”

The live journalist suddenly laughed a few times... Fortunately, he was far enough away not to let the Black and White Path’s management surrounding the Old Dog hear his schadenfreude.

Hill clearly knew what he was laughing about... ’Mobi Chenxin,’ due to being too thoroughly hiding during the previous confrontation with the Worm Mage, was embarrassed to stand next to ’Snow Cloud Peak,’ resulting in him not being able to stop Snow Old Dog from launching his area-wide attack.

’Snow Cloud Peak’ opened his mouth, hesitated for a few seconds, then asked, ”Why do you need so many purple worms? Could it be that the Black and White Path plans to create underground territories in every world?”

”Don’t you care about finances, and you simply don’t read the information on these things?” ’Mobi Chenxin’ said angrily, ”These worms can grow to adulthood in a year, reaching 5 meters long! And if raised well, they can be equivalent to a level 16 warrior when almost grown!

A magic-based profession carrying a purple worm is almost like having an extra life... Most importantly, purple worms can sever their tails to survive; even if they suffer a near-fatal injury, they can recover by eating.

Which means, compared to other animal companions, purple worms can truly be used in battlefields... Otherwise, who would risk using their animal companions, preferring to die themselves!”

’Snow Cloud Peak’ nonchalantly said, ”Ah! Then what I did was just right! If they can form a purple worm brigade, I’ll have more knights for mobility.

You have quite a few in your hands anyway; I saw that the top merit points holders in the Black and White Path almost all took one... It’s not like purple worms can’t be bred, learn from the Black Rose.”

’Mobi Chenxin’ gave Snow Old Dog a glance and softly said, ”Killing two birds with one stone, huh? Old Dog.”

’Snow Cloud Peak’ maintained an indifferent smile: ”How would I know you wanted purple worms?”

Mobi Chen let out a cold laugh and left with his people, leaving a sentence behind, ”Don’t let me find out you did it on purpose!”

”The Black and White Path seems eager to corner the market on purple worms, huh?” ’Rain Falling on Mortal Dust’ slid down from Snow Old Dog’s vehicle, ”What’s the use of that thing? Unless they’re over a million, even if they want to use purple worms in gang wars, it’s useless, right? Do they really think everyone in the Black and White Path can have one?

Or are they capable of cultivating them to a BOSS level?”

’Snow Cloud Peak’ glanced back at him, ”How would I know? Mobi is overthinking it. How would I know the Black and White Path wants these long worms that are uglier than earth dragons?”

’Rain Falling on Mortal Dust’ said, half-smiling, ”What doesn’t Snow Old Dog know, huh?”

Hill suddenly remembered, when he went to open a store at the Black Rose’s castle, they had said during a conversation: their family’s business might be known to allies sooner than its own family members.

’Snow Cloud Peak’ turned his head, directly glanced at the camera still broadcasting them, and revealed an innocent smile: ”Hey buddy, can you film someone else?”

So, was this some scheme by the Black and White Path that made ’Snow Cloud Peak’ feel it would affect their entire alliance, so he just decided to mess it up?

Hill couldn’t help but cross his arms and ponder: When the ’Old Age Striking King’ hits Snow Old Dog hard, is it because his words are harsh, or does the Black Rose’s management actually know what he’s doing?

Only the Female Priest hadn’t expected ’Snow Cloud Peak’ would use such a broad attack that might even affect them to resolve this issue.

”Tch.” The live journalist decisively turned to film the crowd, but couldn’t help but mumble, ”It’s not that I’m afraid of Snow Old... but he’s really too cunning, and it’s not easy for me to find such a lucrative job.”

Hill leaned on the bench and began rapidly recalling the events of the past few days in his mental sea... Then he remembered... the scene of marking the Black and White Path on a certain road.

Clearly, although many large caves were marked on the map, the Black and White Path seemed to choose a particularly rugged small road, which could barely allow two people to walk side by side.

If they really have a plan, instead of exhausting the Earth Mage to open up the road and creating huge spell waves that attract attention... it’s indeed more practical to directly let those purple worms chew the earth into their stomachs.

So, did the Black and White Path obtain some treasure map?

No... It’s very likely that this treasure contains something that can advance the purple worm to the Purple Worm Leader... an Archmage’s Alchemy Laboratory?

It seems that even though they try to keep it confidential, the well-informed allies are all aware.

But why did Snow Old Dog target his ally... Hill rubbed his hands and suddenly recalled the Black and White Path’s Underground City in two directions with Demon Cult City and Black Rose City.

Hill originally thought it was just a coincidence, just the right opportunity... But it could be because Mobi Chenxin didn’t want to stay so close to the Magic Cult?

Although Young Master also built a city by the sea... everyone knows what’s going on with the Youth Palace.

But the Black and White Path indeed chose to build the city far away from their allies from the start... Moreover, they didn’t seem very obedient to Snow Old Dog’s commands from the beginning, otherwise they wouldn’t have joined the game one step later than everyone else.

Indeed, people like Mobi Chenxin, who obviously come from a wealthy family, might not want to fall behind others forever... He might not have thought of withdrawing from the alliance, but he definitely wants to surpass Snow Old Dog.

So, is this Snow Old Dog giving his disobedient ally a lesson?

Then the awakened ’Mobi Chenxin’ almost fully revealed the matter... implying to Snow Old Dog to stop there, and not to repeat again.

The people of Black Rose seem to know everything, but chose to stand by... And the Sanda King intervened, which appeared to be a friendly gesture regardless of the clan involved.

Hill couldn’t help rubbing his hands, plotting to such an extent... Are they playing a game?

Choosing to knock on his ally at this time, ’Snow Cloud Peak’ probably doesn’t want the Black and White Path to cause trouble during this battle mission... For example, like the Last-Era Clan, getting wiped out due to certain things, conveniently returning to the city to seek treasure.

Hill gently pressed his face onto the cold stone table, hands straight ahead: When he plays games, he seems to foolishly enjoy himself every day!

This is the reason why others are trending on the game forums every day, while he can only appear in ’funny daily routines’?

He silently pulled out a thick history book, took out pen and paper, deciding to calm his mind through book copying... Reality told him, those who play tactical games wouldn’t know how they died when trying to play tricks with technical gamers.

Only truth is eternal, whether it’s scientific truth or magical truth... At least once you learn it, it’s learned, there won’t be a sudden reversal.

Instead of figuring out how to deal with those cunning people, the best solution for him is overwhelming strength... Even if someone wants to break a thousand pounds with a smart trick, he can manage ten thousand pounds so there’s no problem.

Focused on copying books, Hill didn’t know he narrowly escaped a major disaster... After obtaining those Ground Thorn Worms, Fran realized Hill was still unfamiliar with the strange objects manufactured in Toril, so he directly went to Hill’s study to take all the related books.

Although he doesn’t plan to look at the top-level Magic Books now, as they can’t be used in current Toril... but through relentless studying day and night recently, he has grasped spells below level 20.

Aber and Toril are ultimately in the same universe, there’s no significant difference in these foundational subjects, and his time in Aber was indeed meaningful.

Then he discovered extra shelves... books that only Hill hadn’t read, which were vaguely categorized and placed on the same shelf.

Fran quickly suspected Hill was trying to pass off... He and Adrian weren’t fond of copying books they disliked.

Moreover, the marked copied books were all related to history... Fran felt he could almost see Hill’s psychological activity!

This child always felt that history, especially stories like biographies, only need to be known, no need for detailed scrutiny... But Fran believes, only by thoroughly understanding the rivers others have crossed, can one avoid stepping into the same river... Just glancing at it won’t help when encountering that river.

Then he saw Hill staying in the garden, fervently writing... Although he couldn’t see what content he was copying, at least Fran could tell it was a history book.

With relief, Fran glanced at Hill, this child seems to have matured, a lot!
