Free Web NovelChapter 691: Chapter 686: The Reasons for Betrayal
At this moment, Circular Flow was covered in Sanskrit symbols, forming a layer of glowing rune armor.
With this armor, Circular Flow managed to temporarily resist the bite of Winged Tooth Beast King Da Fei. freewebnσvel.cøm
However, this was merely a desperate struggle; the gap between their templates was enormous. The biting ability of the Winged Tooth Beast King was not something a Candidate could withstand.
Looking at Circular Flow’s appearance, his face was flushed, pouring all his Fighting Qi Energy desperately into the Sanskrit armor. Yet, the Sanskrit armor inevitably showed tiny cracks, slowly and decisively being crushed.
"Why did I betray... Do I need a reason?"
Circular Flow seemed resigned, gritting his teeth, "I don’t want to stay on your doomed ship! Do you know how many people on Earth besides me are desperately looking for ways to become guides for the Sea Race?"
"You have connections with the Sea Race? How did you hook up with them!"
Soul Capture asked.
"Hmph, want to know? In your dreams! Unless you all swear by Gaia’s Will to let me go." Circular Flow’s eyes shifted.
"No need."
Bai Pu said lightly, "Actually, I’ve already guessed... It should be through some Earth insider forces that have long surrendered to the Sea Race..."
"How did you know?" Circular Flow was taken aback.
"I have always pondered two questions. First, how the Sea Race invaders managed to share the support of the Native Camp with the Huaxia Battle Group in the Demon Fighting World; second, why there were no ’Otherworld Space-Time Nodes’ in the Demon Fighting World." Bai Pu said slowly.
Soul Capture was also puzzled by these two points.
Firstly, Otherworld Travelers on hostile Spirit Realm Planes are targeted by the opposing Spirit Realm Will, specifically reflected in the natives’ abhorrence. Generally, Otherworld Travelers naturally face subconscious hostility from natives upon invasion, making it difficult to garner genuine support from them.
Yet, the Sea Race was able to gain the sincere acceptance of each large and small camp, such as the Demon God Rebel Army led by Ferudo, and the Wind Element Camp of Howling Wind Highlands.
Secondly, the invasion of Otherworld Travelers is generally conducted through "Otherworld Space-Time Nodes," which serve as a "bridge" for wars between two Spirit Realm Wills.
However, this time, upon entering the Demon Fighting World, the Huaxia Battle Group did not discover any Otherworld Space-Time Nodes, nor received any tasks to destroy such nodes.
Soul Capture was waiting for Bai Pu’s answer.
Bai Pu said calmly, "It’s really simple. The Sea Race received prior assistance from some Earth insider forces! If I guessed correctly, the nominal Commander of the Sea Race this time is that Earth insider... They didn’t enter as invaders, so they didn’t need Otherworld Space-Time Nodes for positioning, but were instead smuggled in by the Earth insider’s direct match-up!"
Soul Capture was surprised and said, "Can the Awakened of different Spirit Realm Wills truly form a battle group directly?"
"Not under normal circumstances... But considering the Sea Race’s backing by three Divine beings from the Intestine Cutter Camp, and the Divines being adept at exploiting rule loopholes, it should be plausible to deceive Gaia’s Will using some method."
Bai Pu had one more thing to say, if this "seed candidate" of his could meet that Earth insider guide, he could invoke Gaia’s Will to focus on it, and thus, the Sea Race’s clandestine smuggling operation would naturally collapse.
The Sea Race clearly considered this point and has kept that guide from exposure.
Soul Capture nodded, understanding that because the Commander of the Sea Race smugglers was an Earth insider, they hadn’t been alienated by the Demon Fighting World’s natives, allowing normal task acceptance and joining the native camp forces.
However, Soul Capture still had one thing unclear.
"With so many planets under Gaia’s Will, how can you be certain it’s an Earth insider rather than one from another planet? I remember the Red Race of Yazd Star was conquered by the Sea Race, maybe it’s a Yazd Star person as the guide for the Sea Race."
In Bai Pu’s eyes, there was a trace of reminiscence, "Actually, my judgment is related to Cyan Vault. Before his death, he left me a message, suspecting there was an insider within the Huaxia Battle Group. Although he didn’t mention the basis of his judgment, thinking it over, it should be related to the enemy’s combat performance.
"Cyan Vault was killed by the Prince of the Sea, Gaton. He was certain there was an insider because Gaton was very familiar with his data, preemptively countering each of his skills. Otherwise, with Cyan Vault being the first Candidate of the Celestial Being, he would surely have escaped."
Not just Cyan Vault, but also from the Huaxia Battle Group, experts like Drunken Flower Forest were slain by a surprise attack from Flying Fish Haqin from a visual blind spot, without even a slight chance to unleash the Dancing Wind Reversal Mystical Arts, which was quite strange.
It felt as if Flying Fish Haqin knew all the details about Drunken Flower Forest.
"Even if you guessed right, so what?"
Circular Flow gritted his teeth and said, "The destruction of Earth is destined! You chose to flee, we chose to stay, maybe we can still preserve more Earth compatriots under the Sea Race’s iron hoof! What wrong have we done?"
"Self-deception."
Bai Pu shook his head and gestured dismissively.
The Winged Tooth Beast King’s teeth flashed with dark gold light, shattering Circular Flow’s Sanskrit armor defense, destroying his Fighting Qi Circulation, and chomping him to pieces.
"If it’s as you say, and there does exist an Earth insider force that has long surrendered to the Sea Race... our situation could be very dangerous." Soul Capture said.
"Yes, I suspect Earth’s cosmic location was leaked by the insider." Bai Pu said.
Otherwise, amid the vast universe, with the Galaxy Star System alone having millions of light-years in diameter, how could the Sea Race know that Earth was at the edge of the Orion Arm, a hundred thousand light-years from the center of the Galaxy Star System?
Luckily, Earth’s Spiritual Essence civilization is not advanced, lacking understanding of advanced civilization knowledge like interstellar travel and cosmic coordinates, so the insider family can’t provide Earth’s precise cosmic coordinates, leaving the Sea Race to rely on repeated attempts for coordinate calibration.
Otherwise, during the first Starry Sky Wonder, Stilan Star would already appear in Earth’s orbit.
Circular Flow did have one point right, in the face of the overwhelming power gap of the Sea Race, initially only a few people could escape under the transport of quasi-general-level Spiritual Ability Battleships.
But now, Bai Pu already had a new target.
He aimed to advance to an Official General, making Earth his stronghold, leading the entire planet in interstellar migration!
For this, Napo Gang must die, and must die by his own hands. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
At this moment, the Winged Tooth Beast King had finished eating Circular Flow and spat out the inevitably dropped "Wind-Binding Ring" to Bai Pu.
Without hesitation, Bai Pu absorbed it into his body as the Source of Wind Magic Power!
The previously dim and lifeless Wind Magic Power Core rapidly grew, withstanding the pressure from the Earth Element and Water Element two Magic Power Cores.
This slightly relieved some of Bai Pu’s pressure; originally, he had to fully operate both the Wind and Fire Magic Power Cores to resist the pressure, but now he only needs to fully operate the Fire Magic Power Core to maintain its stability.
"In the pursuit of personal strength... Sarajael must die too, I need His Heart of Fire Feathers!"
