"Commander, someone's there! There's a person!"
In the command center, the adjutant's eyes widened, pointing excitedly at a black dot on the screen.
"Zoom in!" Li Hanqing's gaze, already heavy, showed a flicker of excitement. The sudden arrival of this person seemed to be blocking that terrifying three-headed demon. Who could it be?
Could it be that kid from the Wojao Mountain Range?
The figure of Bai Ye flashed through Li Hanqing's mind. Currently, Bai Ye was the only such special existence in Great Xia.
The battlefield reconnaissance plane locked onto the silhouette in front of the three-headed demon, transmitting the clearest picture back to headquarters.
"It's not him!" Upon seeing the person's clear appearance, Li Hanqing's eyes flashed with surprise.
"It's him!" Several adjutants exclaimed. "This… isn't Prince Houying of R-country?"
"He's actually helping us? And he's so powerful?"
Currently, Great Xia, R-country, and Han-country had formed an alliance. As high-ranking military officials of Great Xia, they naturally understood many top-secret information within R-country and Han-country.
For example, Houying's demonic identity.
Under their tense watch, the terrifying three-headed demon with a wingspan of several hundred meters suddenly disappeared from the surveillance.
Only two black dots remained in the air. The three-headed demon had transformed into human form: a middle-aged man with a somber face, black hair, and one red and one blue eye, exuding a fierce gaze.
With the disappearance of the three-headed demon's form, the oppressive feeling also dissipated. The hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the battlefield couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Is he really willing to help us? Li Hanqing and other officers also relaxed. Although the three countries had formed an alliance, Houying's existence was not part of the cooperation. They speculated that Houying's willingness to act was related to that fellow from the Wojao Mountain Range…
Above the passage, the three-headed demon glanced down at the ground, looking at Houying in surprise. It hadn't expected Houying to speak up for these ants on the ground.
"Lord Houying, who has been missing for many years, I didn't expect to see you in this異世界. My apologies." Although the three-headed demon was filled with confusion, its attitude was very respectful.
"Have these异生物 and this land already submitted to Lord Houying? If so, I naturally have no intention of offending."
Houying didn't answer, looking down at the ground. He saw the dilapidated military camp, the vigilant soldiers, and the wounded being carried out one after another…
He slowly said, "They are the masters of this land. I've always disliked power and fighting. I have no interest in managing these things."
"However, this land has a guardian, an interesting fellow. He is my friend."
The three-headed demon's eyes widened as if it had heard something incredible.
"F-friend?" The three-headed demon found it hard to believe that the eccentric Houying could have friends!!
"Is Lord Houying's friend an异生物 of this world?" the three-headed demon asked tentatively, its expression surprised.
Houying nodded. He had initially thought Bai Ye was a demon, but later realized that wasn't the case, which was why he called him interesting.
"Then I apologize, Lord Houying." The three-headed demon's tone shifted. "I respect you greatly, but this land is the target of our demon tribe. This is a death order from our elders. Therefore, if this is not your territory, I must seize it from the guardian!"
Houying smiled and said softly, "You? Might not be his match."
"Wh-what?" The three-headed demon's somber face showed horror. "My lord, do you mean this guardian possesses the strength of a Demon King?"
Houying didn't answer but raised his hand and pointed westward.
"If you must do this, you can try over there first."
The three-headed demon was silent for a few seconds, then shook its head.
"Lord Houying, you may not know, but the three major tribes have stopped their infighting. That area belongs to the other two major tribes. Our demon tribe has chosen this passage!"
Houying scratched his head in frustration, then smiled gently. "Is that so? Then there's nothing to discuss?"
"No offense intended." The three-headed demon bowed slightly, fearing Houying might suddenly attack, and then added, "But I can't help it. I represent our demon tribe."
…
Wojao Mountain Range, volcanic crater passage.
Dapeng anxiously explained a great deal behind Bai Ye, his mouth dry and cracked.
"Master, although you are incomparably powerful and your magic is boundless, Tates will likely not fight honorably and will gang up on you! We shouldn't guard this passage, and even if we guard it, we can't guard the other places!"
Lydia's small face had become worried. "Dapeng, are you saying the entire Tates world wants to invade? Then our ranch…" She was very worried that their beautiful home would be destroyed. She also didn't want to experience the tragedy of losing her home and family a second time.
But the current situation looked very dire!
Bai Ye frowned. "Are you saying that because of the emergence of this world, the three major tribes of Tates have stopped their infighting and reached an agreement to conquer this world together?"
"Yes, Master!" Dapeng nodded vigorously. "The terrifying existences of the three tribes all said that this world possesses a powerful treasure that can help one advance to Demon King status in a short time, so all the tribes are going crazy!"
Dapeng couldn't help but secretly observe Bai Ye's back. He suspected that the treasure mentioned by those terrifying existences might be on Bai Ye, or related to him…
"Is that so? How come I don't know?" Bai Ye murmured. Suddenly, his phone in his pocket vibrated violently.
Bai Ye took out his phone and saw it was Elder Song calling.
"Hello?" Bai Ye answered. Elder Song's anxious voice immediately came through.
"Bai Ye! The southern war zone needs you to go to the Hundred Thousand Mountains in Yongzhou. It's urgent! Can you go?"
Hearing Elder Song's rushed tone, Bai Ye raised an eyebrow and replied, "Okay."
After hanging up, he said to Lydia, "Guard this place. I'm going out for a bit."
"Okay, Brother!" Lydia nodded obediently. "Don't worry, with me and Dapeng here, nothing will happen."
Bai Ye affectionately patted her small head. Before the anxious Dapeng could speak, he disappeared.
Looking at the confident Lydia, Dapeng felt like crying. Master, I can't do it!
…
While the same event was happening in Great Xia's Yongzhou and the Demon City, similar events were also occurring in the Western world and Africa.
In the West, in the Dali Country, a severe earthquake also occurred in the western section of the Abi Mountains, causing the mountain range to crack, and landslides and collapses.
The Western Alliance immediately entered a state of combat readiness.
Africa's Fifi Great Rift Valley also experienced a terrifying earthquake. The fracturing of the earth caused underground water to gush in madly, bringing both earthquake and flood disasters, as if it were the end of the world.
But the most terrifying was the source of the earthquake – the otherworldly passage opening underground.
