295: Not afraid of worldly disputes

Although the Giant Civilization is only a T5 level among Great Civilizations, it is the undisputed leader in this region.

It's like being a local emperor.

Once he becomes a Domain Warrior, he will essentially be among the top tier of people. His talent, combined with the Wisdom Giant's innate desire to preserve his own life, makes Bao Xingguang extremely afraid of death.

Although the person wearing the clown mask killed his two other companions, what he said made some sense. His life, as a Domain-level Genius, was not of the same value as the lives of the other two!

His death would definitely attract attention from above.

The opponent is only a Small Civilization, so it's highly probable they wouldn't dare to harm him!

But what if the opponent is a desperado?

Bao Xingguang wouldn't be foolish enough to try to intimidate his opponent with the Giant Civilization's identity. Although this mission was important, how could it be more important than his own life?

Chen Du's longsword remained pressed against the back of his carotid artery, leaving Bao Xingguang with little time to think.

In just a few seconds, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

"My name is Bao Xingguang, and I am the captain of this three-person team."

"A week ago, we were given a mission from above to come here, the three of us, to search for a special devouring grass."

"What is devouring grass?"

Chen Du feigned ignorance.

"devouring grass is a type of herb that grows by devouring other herbs."

"They are herbs with roots that can move on their own. Their quality is divided into green, blue, red, purple, and the highest level, golden."

"Their purpose is to enhance the Life Strength talent of Martial Warrior Level life forms."

Bao Xingguang answered truthfully.

devouring grass is a resource controlled by Great Civilizations, so it's not surprising that these Small Civilizations don't know about it.

Of course, it's also not surprising if they do know.

Golden?

Chen Du was startled. In the records of High Martial Civilizations, the highest level of devouring grass was purple.

He didn't expect there to be a quality higher than purple. It seemed that Small Civilizations simply had a narrow perspective, or insufficient strength, to obtain the most detailed information.

Seeing that Chen Du wasn't speaking, Bao Xingguang continued:

"A golden devouring grass escaped from the cultivation area. Following its habits, we assembled a hundred three-person teams to explore different regions."

"Each region is explored by two teams, including not only Advanced Martial Artist teams but also teams led by Sky Soaring Warriors!"

"However, each team only knows its own target location and has no information about other teams."

"Are you threatening me?"

Chen Du said coldly.

"No, I am just truthfully answering your question about the purpose of our trip."

Bao Xingguang paused here, then explained the Giant Civilization's team information for this capture mission to Chen Du.

"The teams for this mission are divided into four levels, from lowest to highest: LV1, LV2, LV3, and LV4."

"They correspond to Martial Artist teams, Advanced Martial Artist-led teams, Advanced Martial Artist teams, and the strongest Sky Soaring Warrior-led teams, respectively."

"LV1 is a Martial Artist team, composed of three Martial Artists below Level 15."

"LV2 is an Advanced Martial Artist-led team, composed of one Advanced Martial Artist of Level 17 or above and two Martial Artists below Level 15."

"LV3 is an Advanced Martial Artist team, composed of three Advanced Martial Artists of Level 17 or above, which is my type of team."

"LV4 is a Sky Soaring Warrior-led team, composed of one Sky Soaring Warrior of Level 21 or above, and two Advanced Martial Artists of Level 18 or above."

Bao Xingguang told a lie here.

A lie where all the information was correct.

According to the Giant Civilization's regulations, two teams must consist of one strong team and one training team.

According to the Giant Civilization's regulations, the number of team levels for each mission must be an even number, with the first two being strong teams.

That is, LV3 and LV4 are considered strong teams in this mission.

According to civilization regulations, an LV1 team must explore the same area as an LV3 team!

Because he didn't know how much this Small Civilization understood about the Giant Civilization, to increase his chances of survival, he would try his best not to tell a single lie, but he had to increase the probability that the enemy wouldn't dare to harm him.

Under the mask, Chen Du's eyes narrowed slightly. He couldn't tell if the other party was lying.

However, he thought the possibility should not be high.

If there truly were LV4 teams in this Daer Mountains, this Bao Xingguang would definitely stall for time, waiting for rescue.

Two teams generally help each other and wouldn't be too far apart.

Analyzing from his perspective, he was most likely trying to intimidate me.

Thinking this, Chen Du quickly came up with an idea.

"Is there anything special about the golden devouring grass?"

"How could it even escape from the cultivation area?"

Chen Du took the initiative to ask.

Bao Xingguang's eyes were still for a few seconds before he spoke:

"The golden quality devouring grass is the mother plant. Only the mother plant can give birth to green quality devouring grass, which are then slowly fed to improve their quality, forming a cycle."

Mother plant?

Chen Du's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was filled with joy.

If this were brought back to a High Martial Civilization and cultivated in a place with good feng shui, wouldn't it be much stronger than the ten red quality devouring grass he had?

Combining the information obtained from the Kapi Civilization, Chen Du had already reached a conclusion.

The Giant Civilization was still unsure if the mother plant had run to the Daer Mountains, considering this as one of the suspicious areas.

But he had the exact location!

Whoosh!

At this moment, a whooshing sound suddenly came from behind.

Chen Du's right hand, still holding the longsword, remained pointed at the back of Bao Xingguang's carotid artery. He slightly tilted his head and saw what was behind him.

It was the little finger from the Wisdom Giant's five fingers that he had cut off earlier!

Almost at the same time Chen Du tilted his head, the surrounding air suddenly became as viscous as iron, making it impossible for Chen Du to move a single step.

"Die!"

Bao Xingguang said viciously. Hearing the news that a Skysoaring team might be nearby, Chen Du had no reaction, which ignited his desire to fight for his life.

He had been waiting, waiting for that one moment when Chen Du would slightly relax!

This little finger was his own. Now, connected by Mental Energy and controlled like an object, it was equivalent to a part of his own body.

It could still exert the power of a Martial Skill!

This meant that this little finger contained his Entrance to the Microscopic 18% Martial Skill level!

Just as Bao Xingguang thought he was about to succeed, a milky white hand suddenly extended from Chen Du's back, gripping his little finger tightly, preventing it from advancing any further.

"Hand of Atim!"

Bao Xingguang cried out in disbelief. This ability was useless to the Giant Civilization because their entire bodies were their main weapons.

They simply didn't need an extendable body weapon.

The Hand of Atim, in his impression, only extended the attack range of an arm.

He didn't expect that after the Seven Secret Treasures, an arm could grow from one's back.

But this wasn't the most crucial part.

The most crucial part was, why did all the Mystic Treasures of this Small Civilization's Genius play a key role!

He hadn't seen the abilities of the First Mystic Treasure's Hand of God, the Third Mystic Treasure's Hand of Atim, and the Fifth Secret Treasure and Seventh Secret Treasure. He tentatively called them Enhancement and Transformation.

If even one of his Awakenings hadn't been good, he would be the one dead today!

The previous confinement was forceful and hurried, lasting less than a second before it was released.

Chen Du had always been wary of unexpected events, so he wasn't surprised by that attack.

Now that he had the information he wanted, keeping the other party alive was pointless.

"Wait!"

Bao Xingguang, feeling Chen Du's killing intent, quickly said.

"My life has an imprint left in the Civilization Ancient Tree. If I die, the strong individuals within the civilization will immediately come!"

"Let them come. I, Du Cheng of the Seven Stars Civilization, fear no worldly troubles!"

After Chen Du finished speaking, his sword fell, ending Bao Xingguang's life.
