Chapter 806: The Sundial Secret Realm (Part 7)
Chapter 806: The Sundial Secret Realm (Part 7)
"Xiao Tian, where have you been these past three days?" As soon as the soundproof barrier was up, Qianbei Budui asked with genuine concern.
Zhenhong and Fujiwara Chika immediately turned their attention to Xiao Tian.
Xiao Tian didn't answer directly. Instead, he crossed his arms and leaned against the wall, countering with a question of his own. "I should ask you first. What have you been up to these past three days?"
"We've been modifying the insectoids, helping them develop beneficial mutations, and grinding for more points..." Qianbei Budui didn't hesitate, summarizing their activities over the past three days.
Zhenhong and Fujiwara Chika nodded in agreement.
They had entered the secret realm relatively late, placing them low on the points leaderboard. However, thanks to their connection with Qianbei Budui, they had a chance to climb to the top five or even the top three.
The insectoid lord of the hive had already explained that they would receive rewards based on their points and ranking once the secret realm ended. The more points they accumulated, the better the rewards, and they had been working hard to earn those points.
...
As Qianbei Budui spoke, Xiao Tian's understanding of the secret realm deepened. Her suspicions were almost entirely confirmed.
Once Qianbei Budui finished, Xiao Tian tilted his head and looked at the three of them, countering, "You've been modifying the insectoids to produce beneficial mutations, but do you know where these modified insectoids are being sent?"
"This..." Qianbei Budui, Zhenhong, and Fujiwara Chika all froze, as if they had never considered it before.
Fujiwara Chika stroked her chin, speaking in fluent Chinese, "I imagine they're being sent to the battlefield, as most insectoid modifications are designed for combat."
"Congratulations, you're right! But do you know where the battlefield is?"
"This..." Fujiwara Chika was at a loss for words.
They had been confined to the hive's artisan district, cut in the loop about the insectoids' movements, and had no idea what was happening beyond. They were just ordinary workers.
"Let me tell you then," Xiao Tian said, looking at the three of them seriously, "The insectoid battlefield is located to the southeast, just 20 kilometers from the hive, and their opponents are a blue-skinned human race, which I call the 'Little Blues.'
This all started three days ago...
To explain everything clearly, Xiao Tian began from the moment she entered the Sundial city three days ago, detailing the entire process of her suspicions and her decision to infiltrate the hive.
Qianbei Budui, Zhenhong, and Fujiwara Chika listened to Xiao Tian's account, their faces filled with surprise and shock throughout.
They couldn't believe what lay beyond the hive was the real "Sky City" they had entered the secret realm!
Qianbei Budui and Zhenhong stared with their mouths slightly agjar, struggling to process the massive amount of information.
After sharing everything she knew, Xiao Tian took a deep breath, smoothing out her slightly disheveled bangs.
She then said solemnly, "Now we belong to two different factions. I belong to the 'Little Blue faction,' and you belong to the 'Insectoid faction.'
The final battle between the two factions has already begun.
If we follow the script realm's script, there will be only two outcomes—either the Little Blues conquer the hive, or the mutated giant insects overrun the Sundial City, leading to the death of all explorers in our faction.
Currently, it seems that the insectoid faction won willing to use the high-level combatants and that they would soon be deployed to the battlefield.
Listening to Xiao Tian's words, Qian Bei Bu Zui's frowns immediately deepened, and his expression turned serious.
At first, they had thought this was just a realm of puzzles and creativity where they would use their intelligence to modify alien insects and earn points and rewards. However, they hadn’t expected the realm to be so brutal, forcing them into a mode of mutual slaughter. This was far beyond their expectations.
Before they could fully consider their options, a sharp insect cry suddenly echoed from a distance. The cry was a command for "immediate assembly," and they had to reach a designated location within a minute or lose 10% of their points.
Qian Bei Bu Zui and the other two exchanged a glance.
Zhen Hong turned to Xiao Tian and said, "Xiao Tian, the insect hive is calling for an emergency assembly. We should go, but you stay here and don’t get discovered by the insects!"
"Go ahead," Xiao Tian waved his hand. "But if the insects are trying to send you to the battlefield, can you ask them what they would do if they win?"
At that moment, Qian Bei Bu Zui, who was the top-ranked craftsman in the entire hive, was the one to ask the question. Even the hive lord wouldn’t ignore his concern, and he was the best to ask.
Zhen Hong didn’t argue.
The three of them left the sound barrier and hurried to the assembly point.
Xiao Tian deactivated the sound barrier and carefully hid himself.
...
...
After about 20 minutes, the three returned to the area where Xiao Tian was hiding after the meeting.
However, their faces were now as dark as a pot bottom.
Seeing them return, Xiao Tian came out of stealth mode.
"How did it go?" Xiao Tian asked with concern.
"Ha ha, you were right." Zhen Hong's face darkened with suppressed anger, "The deputy of the hive lord told us about the battle with the Blue Man and the notification to go to the battlefield."
Vine Yuan Qian Hua added a frown, "The deputy didn’t mention if there were other explorers on the other side. He promised high rewards for those who joined the battle, and everyone else was eager to participate."
"Is that so..." Xiao Tian nodded, showing his understanding.
He turned to Qian Bei Bu Zui, "Did we ask them the question?"
"Yes, the answer was no," Qian Bei Bu Zui said with a heavy heart, "The insect hive refuses any form of surrender in any form. They are determined to wipe out the Blue Man and everything in the Sunst City of the Sunst Moon, the deputy said clear's face was stern, and he had no room for compromise. This is the bottom line, no matter what. Xiao Tian sighed, "We have to find a way out of this, even if it means death. It's time to act!"
