262: Chapter 262 The Anomaly on the Beast Battlefield (Part Two)

After Smith David finished speaking, the crowd fell into silence.

A look of deep suspicion flashed in General Wang Ming's eyes; was what Smith David said true or false?

If it were true, that would be truly disastrous.

At this moment, there were already two Beast Kings outside the Beast Battlefield, and if another one came, that would make three Beast Kings.

Three Beast Kings...

He and Master Long could only barely hold off two Beast Kings, but if there were three, the result of relying on Master Long alone was self-evident.

"Of course, you can choose not to believe me."

"The choice is yours."

"My only goal is the spirit tool. I can promise you that I will not harm anyone else, nor will I cause trouble within your China."

"But once war breaks out, you must consider whether you can afford the consequences."

Smith David had said his piece; whether General Wang Ming believed him was no longer his concern. If he could obtain the spirit tool without fighting, he would certainly prefer that, as he did not want China to be destroyed because of this.

Part of it was out of humanitarian concern, and the other part was that if China were to fall, the pressure on America from the Ocean Evolved Beasts would increase significantly.

With China still standing, they could help share a considerable amount of the pressure.

General Wang Ming's expression was grim and uncertain, when suddenly, the satellite phone in his pocket rang.

In an instant, it drew everyone's attention.

The people behind him, whether they were elite fighters from the Chinese government or other factions, were all staring intensely at the phone in General Wang Ming's hand.

Smith David, on the other hand, had a faint smile on his face.

If his expectations were correct, it should be news from the Beast Battlefield.

General Wang Ming looked at the phone, hesitant to open it for a moment.

As a Town General, he was afraid—afraid that this message was truly from the Beast Battlefield, and even more afraid of what lay behind this information.

But... General Wang Ming opened the phone anyway.

A message appeared before his eyes.

[The Beast Battlefield has changed. The Third Beast King is about to land. Come quickly—Master Long]

Seeing this text message, General Wang Ming's breath hitched.

His scalp tingled, and a chill washed over him.

What Smith David said was true; the Third Beast King had appeared on the Beast Battlefield.

For a moment, General Wang Ming did not know what to do.

Seeing General Wang Ming's reaction, Smith David thought to himself that it was just as he had expected. His face, however, did not show his previous expression. He stepped aside to clear a path for General Wang Ming.

"That must be a message from the Beast Battlefield, right?"

"You should know by now whether what I said was true or false."

"Now, make your choice."

"Will you fight me, or will you leave here..."

Smith David said with interest; he also wanted to know what choice General Wang Ming would make.

General Wang Ming's expression was ugly at this moment.

Once he left, the spirit tool would fall into his hands, and his next step would most likely be to target Lu Zheng. Even if he took the spirit tool with him, it might become a key leverage point against Lu Zheng.

But if he didn't leave, once those three Beast Kings landed, China would be finished.

Between these two choices, he knew what to pick without even having to think.

Actually, there was a third option: to use the spirit tool as a price to request Smith David to intervene once. But after thinking about it, that possibility was unrealistic.

General Wang Ming looked at Smith David.

"You promised me that you would not cause trouble in my China."

"I will not interfere with the matter of the spirit tool."

"But I also hope you will keep your promise."

Smith David nodded; he knew General Wang Ming had made his choice.

"Good, I promise you."

"After I get the spirit tool, I will leave here. After all, with three Beast Kings, this place is not safe at all."

Facing these words, General Wang Ming could only feel deep resentment in his heart, but he had no choice but to leave helplessly.

"You all, leave quickly."

"Go to the Beast Battlefield; you are needed there."

General Wang Ming turned his head and said to the crowd behind him. The expressions on everyone's faces were extremely grim; although they did not know what the spirit tool did, they assumed it was extremely important.

And General Wang Ming's choice was the wise one.

"Yes, Town General!"

General Wang Ming left in front of Smith David, and Smith David, as he had said, did not make a move.

The crowd also slowly left by helicopter.

Heading towards the Beast Battlefield.

At this moment, regardless of whether they were government officials or other factions, they were all Chinese people. If the Beast Battlefield fell, then everything would be over.

And very soon, only Smith David remained in Jianghai City.

At this moment, Smith David looked at the empty space before him and seemed to just realize that everyone had left, and the person carrying the spirit tool had also left.

Hmm?

"They actually left secretly. This person is not stupid."

"It seems I was still played by General Wang Ming, but a Third-Rank, even if they left secretly earlier, how could they escape from my palm?"

Smith David had seen with his own eyes General Wang Ming handing the spirit tool to someone.

However, he was not worried at all.

Without General Wang Ming's interference, no matter what, the spirit tool could not escape, and it was only a matter of time before it fell into his hands.

"Find the person who just took the spirit tool."

Smith David muttered, and at that moment, a voice sounded in his mind.

[Price: Laugh out loud one thousand times on the spot.]

Upon hearing this, Smith David breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this price was acceptable and not too heavy.

The voice speaking in his mind was precisely the spirit tool he possessed.

His spirit tool had a simple function: tracking all things. As long as it existed in this world, it could be found.

However, a price had to be paid.

And every time, the price was different and unpredictable.

Moreover, as the importance of the matter increased, the price became heavier.

It was by relying on this function of the spirit tool that Smith David constantly found Heaven And Earth Treasure, allowing him to break through to the Fourth-Rank and become a Town General in a short period of time, but the price he paid was not small either.

He had once asked the spirit tool to find others who possessed spirit tools, but the price was something he could not accept.

He would have to personally kill one of his relatives.

Consequently, Smith David gave up on that idea.

As for that person from just now, they did not possess a spirit tool, and they were just nearby and weak in strength, so the price to find them was very light.

"Fortunately, there is no one here, otherwise it would be awkward."

Smith David muttered, and then began to laugh out loud in the deserted Jianghai City.

If anyone saw this scene, they might think he was a madman.

After finishing the one thousand laughs, the voice of the spirit tool sounded in Smith David's mind again.

[Price paid.]

[Target found.]

Immediately after, in Smith David's mind, he seemed to see a figure frantically fleeing, and its position was clearly visible.

A slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Found you..."
