"Your Excellency, would you like some tree fruit? It was just picked today."
A convoy transporting tree fruit passed by Qin Ze.
The team leader, his face pale, handed Qin Ze a piece of fruit.
Qin Ze took it and took two bites; it was crunchy.
"Why hasn't A Sheng come back yet? It's been almost a day."
After demonstrating the Balance Rule to Old Xing last time, Qin Ze recalled Yue Sheng.
But almost a day has passed, Yue Sheng still hasn't returned to the Forest Clan.
Qin Ze shook his head helplessly.
Never try to understand the thought process of a mad scientist.
Because you simply cannot understand it.
Yan Miao walked towards us, his face also pale, looking like he had indulged in excessive sexual activity.
What's wrong with you? Didn't you go to training?
Yan Miao is a battle maniac.
Having been confined to Blazing Sun Pool for so long, I'm now completely letting loose.
Every day, apart from training time, he would go out hunting strange beasts with his personal guards.
It's quite a surprise to see him on the street.
Yan Miao waved his hand. "They've probably been training a bit too hard lately, so they're all pretty tired. I gave them a break."
Qin Ze nodded slightly. "It's true that you need to balance work and rest; you can't be too stressed."
Yan Miao said, "I was just about to come find you. Could you take a look and see if the Source of God of War within me is about to go out of control?"
"Lately, I've been feeling increasingly heavy, and my head sometimes feels dizzy; even meditation isn't helping."
Qin Ze said seriously, "Let me see."
After a thorough "check-up," Qin Ze found that Yan Miao had no abnormalities and that the Source of God of War was stable.
"It's nothing, I'm probably just too tired lately, I should get some rest."
Yan Miao shrugged. "Alright, I'll go wander around the training ground. There's nowhere else to go anyway."
After parting Yan Miao, Qin Ze went to the presidential palace.
Since arriving in the Forest Clan, Little Deer has been learning from her Second Sister and is now capable of handling things on her own.
However, Qin Ze found the office area empty; neither of them had clocked in.
Qin Ze went to their residence with a puzzled look and knocked on the door.
Knock knock knock~
A moment later, the Second Sister, her hair disheveled, opened the door.
Through the open door, Qin Ze saw that Little Deer was still fast asleep in bed.
The Second Sister looked exhausted and kept yawning.
"Is something the matter?"
Qin Ze smirked, "Can you guys... be a little more restrained?"
The Second Sister was confused and couldn't understand what he was saying.
"Is something wrong or not?"
Qin Ze said, "I didn't see you guys in the office area, and I was worried something might have happened to you, so I came to check on you."
The Second Sister seemed to have sobered up a bit. "What time is it?"
Qin Ze: "It's almost noon."
Second Sister: (꒪⌓꒪)
After a moment of mental blankness, the Second Sister quickly ran back to her bedroom.
" Little Deer, wake up! We overslept!"
The Little Deer sat up, looking completely bewildered, as the bra strap slipped off her incredibly smooth shoulder.
Good morning...
Seeing Qin Ze standing at the door, Little Deer Lu greeted him in a daze.
Qin Ze nodded. "Good afternoon."
The Little Deer suddenly perked up. "Ah!"
Then she quickly hugged the blanket tightly to her chest.
The Second Sister arrived at the door with a dark expression. "No unauthorized personnel allowed."
Bang--
The door was closed.
Qin Ze touched his nose. "Why is everyone acting so strange today?"
"Never mind, let's go check on Old Xing. He's been researching all day; I wonder if he's figured anything out yet."
However, when Qin Ze arrived at Old Xing's house, he found him deep in meditation.
Qin Ze left quietly without disturbing them.
Did the sun rise in the west today?
It's quite rare to see a god meditating.
Woo~ woo~ woo~
The piercing alarm blared across the Outpost City.
Qin Ze's expression changed.
A massive beast horde attacked the city.
"What are the scouts doing? They've got people practically touching their faces, and they still haven't noticed."
Enraged, Qin Ze leaped into the air and headed straight for the city wall.
On the distant horizon, an endless stream of strange beasts surged forth like Tide.
Boom boom boom--
The city's defense system began firing continuously.
Mushroom clouds rose continuously from the mountain of beasts and the sea of beasts.
Qin Ze stood atop the city wall, his brows slightly furrowed.
"A probing attack, or something else...?"
Organizing such a large-scale attack by alien beasts is completely unlike Meng Die's style.
Qin Ze had no idea what this guy was up to.
The city's defense system is firing less and less frequently, and some of its Martial Artifact and cannons have even fallen silent.
Qin Ze turned around and found that some soldiers were actually asleep leaning against the city wall.
What's going on?
There's a battle raging here, with cannons roaring everywhere, yet they can still sleep soundly over there. The quality of their sleep is even better than Magician's.
" Qin Ze, you brat, come and face your death!"
In the distance, Meng Die soared into the sky, surrounded by black butterflies fluttering around her.
Is Meng Die challenging us?
Qin Ze rubbed his eyes, initially thinking he was hallucinating.
The literary-minded woman actually challenged a military general to a duel? Who's gone mad?
"Court death!"
Now that there are Balance Rule, Qin Ze can at least go toe-to-toe with his opponent.
He only needs to hold off Meng Die for a moment, and once Old Xing arrives at the battlefield, the two of them can kill her together.
boom--
Qin Ze immediately unleashed a sword aura.
A hundred-meter-long sword aura crashed down upon her, but Meng Die easily shattered it with a single palm strike.
"Turn off the lights!"
Qin Ze activated the Reversed Rule of Darkness, and darkness swallowed the entire sky.
However, even under the Nightfall Domain, Meng Die could always find him with Precision, as if she had X-ray vision.
After several rounds of fighting, Qin Ze was in a sorry state, no better off than when they first met.
Qin Ze's eyes turned white as the Balance Rule were activated.
The rules began to break down where Meng Die was, and her punch went completely astray.
Meng Die looked at Qin Ze with a playful expression. "Luckily, I had a backup plan. I didn't expect you to have the power of Communion in such a short time."
"Game over, see you next time."
The Meng Die transformed into countless black butterflies and scattered.
Qin Ze seemed to sense something and suddenly turned around.
A giant black python, hundreds of meters long, had somehow crept up behind him.
"Hmph--"
The giant python opened its blood-red maw and swallowed Qin Ze whole.
Meanwhile, as more and more city defense soldiers fell asleep, the Outpost City was also breached by the beast tide.
Beasts swarmed into the city, Outpost City fell.
Qin Ze was plunged into darkness, but he could clearly hear his own heartbeat.
"Was I inside the snake's belly?"
This snake really has a huge stomach; even the spiritual energy it releases cannot explore its boundaries.
Qin Ze gripped the bone sword, preparing to disembowel the snake.
Swish--
A white light suddenly appeared before my eyes.
Before Qin Ze could react, the burst of white light engulfed him.
After that, he was surrounded by noise, as if he were in a bustling city.
Immediately afterwards, a familiar voice rang out beside me.
"Your Excellency, would you like some tree fruit? It was just picked today."
