" Bell? You are Life Technique in this Dim Land?" Zhou Zheng acted as if he knew nothing.
Actually, if it really was a powerful being from the Cosmic Sea who unintentionally came here, this would be the normal reaction.
"Yes, I am a native Life Technique!" Bell opened his ugly mouth, seemingly to laugh.
Just as Zhou Zheng had analyzed before, the World Beast had not yet received news of the emergence of the Inheritance Divine Hall, and naturally they were unaware that the Inheritance Divine Hall had given them the task of investigating the World Beast.
The World Beast can sense each other's location and can communicate at any time.
Although the World Beast usually fight each other and regard everyone as an enemy, they unite against any outside Life Technique.
Just now, Bell realized he was no match for his opponent and immediately wanted to call for reinforcements.
However, Zhou Zheng did not take further action, and Bell also temporarily put aside his plan to call in reinforcements.
The reason is simple: if he calls for reinforcements and the Cosmic Sea Life Technique in front of him notices something is wrong, he will be in danger. He suffered a great loss in just one encounter, and Bell has no doubt that the Cosmic Sea Life Technique in front of him can easily kill him.
Moreover, even if he manages to kill this Cosmic Sea Life Technique in the end, he won't die, but Bell might not be able to withstand the malice from his own kind that follows.
The World Beast will cooperate with outsiders, but they are not always on friendly terms with each other.
Bell is already injured. If he is discovered, he will be an irresistible meal in the eyes of the other World Beast. Bell can even imagine how the other World Beast will drool over him.
While each World Beast values World Beast Race, it also values itself.
At this moment, Zhou Zheng's appearance is not enough to immediately threaten the entire World Beast Race, so Bell will naturally prioritize his own safety.
He didn't want to die right now; he wanted to live and fight for that sliver of hope of becoming the sole World Beast King!
"You mentioned Life Technique in the Cosmic Sea before, and then attacked me directly. So, you were responsible for the deaths of those who entered the Dim Land before?" Zhou Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly.
"You are the first Cosmic Sea Life Technique I've encountered," Bell said. "Those who died were probably killed by others."
"Oh? There's more than one Life Technique like yours?" Zhou Zheng asked, feigning surprise.
"Of course, and the quantity is enormous, far more than you can imagine!" Bell looked at Zhou Zheng, hoping to see a look of surprise on Zhou Zheng face, and Zhou Zheng did just that, showing a hint of surprise on his face.
"How many are there?" Zhou Zheng asked directly.
"More than thirteen million!" Bell said a number, which was not unexpected by Zhou Zheng, but it was already considered useful information.
If Zhou Zheng were to return to the Inheritance Divine Hall at this time, he would have two pieces of information to submit: first, the World Beast is located in the Dim Land; and second, there are now more than 13 million World Beast.
Of course, in order to obtain more information, Zhou Zheng Zheng's face showed a moment of blankness, but then a look of anger appeared on his face.
"Over thirteen million? Do you think I'm a fool?" Zhou Zheng's voice turned icy.
"Think about it carefully, I have no reason to lie to you about this!" Bell quickly said:
"Whether it's true or not, you only need to verify it in the Dim Land. If you wander around, you will encounter a lot of other beings just like me!"
"What secrets are hidden in this Dim Land?" A look of shock appeared on Zhou Zheng's face.
Bell looked at the shocked Zhou Zheng and sneered inwardly.
This Cosmic Sea Life Technique is indeed very powerful; he is far from being its match at present.
However, compared to the entire World Beast Race, this person is far inferior. How can the World Beast be compared to the lowly Life Technique of the Cosmic Sea?
Of course, although Bell despised Zhou Zheng for his short-sightedness, he also understood that his life was still in Zhou Zheng's hands. He had to find a way to impress Zhou Zheng and then look for other opportunities to survive.
"I've heard that Life Technique in the Cosmic Sea are incredibly weak, but I never imagined there would be someone as strong as you!" Bell asked, "May I know your name?"
"My name is Cheng Tian."
Zhou Zheng answered, then said calmly, "It seems you don't want to die either. Tell me everything about this Dim Land, and if you satisfy me, you can live."
"Of course I don't want to die!" Bell grinned.
"But if I tell you everything, you'll probably kill me right away. And can you be sure that everything I tell you is true?"
"Kill you, and I can find another Life Technique just like you!" Zhou Zheng said calmly. "You said it yourself, there are many Life Technique like you here!"
You can't do that!
Bell's expression changed slightly. He said directly, "All of us can communicate instantly. If you kill me, I will tell everyone your location. Then you will face countless pursuers. No matter how strong you are, can you deal with my millions of kin?"
"Oh?" Zhou Zheng looked Bell up and down, seemingly trying to figure out if what the other party said was true.
Of course, Zhou Zheng knew that what Bell said was true; he was just putting on an act for the other party.
It is precisely because the World Beast can communicate with each other instantly, and each World Beast has a high degree of identification with its World Beast Race, and no one would betray their race, that Zhou Zheng is now trying to get information out of them little by little.
Otherwise, why would Zhou Zheng go through all this trouble? He could have just dealt with the Master Yuan Ao the same way, crippling and suppressing him before slowly interrogating him.
"You Cosmic Sea Life Technique explore everywhere for treasure, right?" Bell suddenly said.
"Good!"
Zhou Zheng nodded directly.
"There is indeed a secret in our Dim Land. If you agree to one condition, I will tell you the secret!" Bell stated his request. However, Zhou Zheng did not answer immediately, but instead squinted at the other party.
At that moment, Bell licked his lips, feeling incredibly nervous. He knew that the moment that would determine whether he could escape had arrived!
"You say!"
Zhou Zheng finally spoke, and Bell breathed a sigh of relief.
"I have two enemies, one named ' Moluo ' and the other named ' Heiyan.' If you help me kill them, I will tell you everything I know!" Bell proposed.
"How strong are these two?" Zhou Zheng asked.
" Moluo is slightly stronger than me, while Heiyan is about the same as me!" Bell said.
"That's easy!" Zhou Zheng said calmly, and then continued:
"However, as you said, you have the ability to communicate with others instantly. If I help you, wouldn't they immediately inform others of my existence?"
"No, no, I can use a method nearby to block this connection! It's a talent of our race, and it's easy for us to do!" Bell said without any apparent reason.
"."
Zhou Zheng didn't speak. He knew Bell was lying here; it was impossible for World Beast to block the ability of other World Beast to communicate with each other.
That's why Bell lied here.
Zhou Zheng pondered for a moment, and soon he had a guess.
"You help me kill Moluo first, and I will tell you some of the secrets. After you kill Heiyan, I will tell you everything!" Bell added.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zheng sneered inwardly, confirming his guess.
Bell's real purpose is probably just to get him to help kill Moluo, while Heiyan is likely just a way to mislead people.
After killing Moluo, the other World Beast will know of his existence, and he will then be surrounded by World Beast.
As for why Bell didn't contact other World Beast directly, but instead chose to spread the message by dealing with Bell, Zhou Zheng guessed that Bell was probably afraid of being caught in the process.
Bell was severely injured by him before. By killing a World Beast, Bell can recover all his strength by devouring the opponent. At that time, Bell will not have to worry about other World Beast taking the opportunity to devour him.
It must be said that if Zhou Zheng truly knew nothing about this Dim Land, Bell's plan could indeed have resulted in a safe escape.
But unfortunately, there are no "what ifs".
Of course, Zhou Zheng's real purpose in coming here was not for the secrets of some Dim Land.
This is where the World Beast are born; what secrets could it possibly hold? Zhou Zheng's true purpose was to gather intelligence, and in this situation, he had no need to expose Bell; he could simply play along.
Before the official operation, Bell will definitely cooperate fully with Zhou Zheng's actions in the Dim Land, and with Bell's help, his exploration of this place will be much easier.
The World Beast can sense each other's location. With Bell leading the way, Zhou Zheng only needs to be careful and he won't be discovered by the other World Beast!
P. S.: I finally succumbed to it; both my legs have started to hurt, and I'm coughing too. I'm probably pregnant. My dad has a similar condition, but his fever isn't as severe. I hope I don't get a high fever either, otherwise I probably won't be able to write tomorrow! While I can still write, I'll try to write more today; there should be a third update.
