If One Wasn't Enough, Send Another

"Should we coexist peacefully with the Beast Race?"

Upon hearing this person's words, everyone present showed expressions of surprise.

Someone immediately spoke up and asserted.

"Impossible, who wants to coexist peacefully with the Beast Race?"

Some people looked puzzled, glanced around privately, and then said.

"How is this related to the Beast Race? Could it be that the Beast Race are hiding in some far-off place, beyond our sight?"

Some people looked on with curiosity.

"What if we don't choose to coexist peacefully with the Beast Race?"

A small group of people frowned slightly and murmured softly.

"Could this be a conspiracy by the Beast Race?"

"Senior Human Emperor."

Li Tianque's voice rang out at this moment, and he turned to Gu De and asked.

"I don't know how to choose in this matter?"

For a moment, the discussion among the crowd ceased, and all eyes turned to Gu De was at the head of the group.

After all, with the Human Emperor present, the final decision rests with him.

Gu De glanced at Li Tianque and said.

"Find someone else."

"One choice, one no choice."

"What difference could there be in comparing them?"

Many people nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

Indeed, this seems to be the best approach.

Li Tianque nodded and said.

"Let's do as the Human Emperor said."

Finally, he turned to another person among those who had come with him and said.

"Go, you will not coexist peacefully with the Beast Race."

"Ah, me?"

The man's expression changed slightly.

"I don't..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Tianque gave the other person a deep look and said...

"You're not willing? Show some attitude."

The man's expression immediately changed, as if he had thought of something.

After a moment, he gritted his teeth, and a look of helplessness appeared on his face.

"Okay, I'll go."

Seeing this situation, everyone understood, and when they looked at Li Tianque again, they couldn't help but feel a bit more emotional.

To go to such lengths to show support for the Human Emperor, he truly is a ruthless person.

As everyone was thinking this, another person arrived at the same spot as the first one.

"Take care of yourself!"

The person in front glanced at the person behind, and then immediately chose to coexist peacefully with the Beast Race.

"Brush--"

After making their choice, the light beneath their feet entered their body.

He then walked straight into the woods without waiting for the second person.

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to the first person.

Sure enough, just as they had expected, the forest was quite similar to the two routes leading to the waterway—entry was only possible by making a choice.

"Tap, tap, tap."

The person walked forward step by step, not very fast.

Although he appeared quite relaxed, his expression clearly showed that he was trying his best to keep a close eye on everything around him.

In this way, they walked about ten zhang (approximately 33 meters) away.

Seeing this situation, the crowd grew somewhat disheartened.

Some people immediately spoke up.

"It doesn't look like anything special, just an ordinary road."

Others looked further away and spoke up.

"It seems the danger lies deeper in. The lightning didn't appear only after we entered the water; we'll probably have to go further."

Some people even shouted out urging him on.

"Hurry up! You've already chosen to coexist peacefully with the Beast Race, what are you afraid of?"

"Does the orc Beast Race really think they won't coexist peacefully with you?--"

"Huh?!"

"It can't really be like what I said, can it?"

The man's voice wasn't quiet, but as soon as he finished speaking, many people nearby twitched their faces.

There's no other reason than this possibility truly made their hearts skip a beat.

At this moment, in the dense forest, the figure in front suddenly stumbled, as if he hadn't stepped firmly, lost his balance and fell forward.

This situation immediately drew shakes of the head and comments from many people.

"It seems I've been cultivating for too long; I've even forgotten how to walk properly, and I still managed to fall down."

At that moment, many people also noticed that something was amiss.

The person fell forward, and before hitting the ground, he raised his hand to brace himself with his arm.

However, immediately after he fell, both of his arms sank directly into the ground.

"The ground is soft!"

An idea appeared in the minds of almost everyone present at the same time.

At that moment, the person's voice rang out.

"Not good!"

"Help me! Pull me up!"

As he shouted, his back rose and fell repeatedly, and his shoulders rose and fell repeatedly, clearly indicating that he was struggling to get up.

However, judging from the situation, it had no effect. On the contrary, the more he struggled, the more obvious it became that he was sinking into the ground.

Suddenly, the man's shouts grew even louder.

"Ma Ze! Come and pull me out!"

Ma Ze is the name of the person behind him.

With such a direct and specific cry for help, many people in the crowd turned their gaze to the person behind.

However, perhaps because of the situation of the person in front of him, Ma Ze's actions were indeed more cautious.

Even the speed wasn't particularly fast; the person's center of gravity was clearly shifted to the rear, and they moved towards that person step by step.

"At this rate, by the time he gets there, everyone will probably be sunk in."

Some speculated.

Meanwhile, the person who was stuck deep in the ground ahead became even more anxious.

Although the extent of his struggles was not as intense as before due to the sinking, his rapid movements clearly showed a hint of madness.

"You can't struggle in a place like this! Stop!"

Someone in the crowd shouted.

"The more you struggle, the faster you sink. I've been to places like this before, listen to me!"

Someone in the crowd shouted out.

However, the other party seemed not to have heard.

In the blink of an eye, most of his body had sunk into the ground.

"Ma Ze! Damn it, come save me!"

On the ground, the man struggled to raise his head and shout out.

However, the words had barely left his mouth when, even with his head held high, his lips were swallowed by the hole.

The Ma Ze behind him was still quite a distance away, and its speed had slowed down somewhat.

The struggles became visibly weaker, and the shouts were almost entirely replaced by violent coughs and groans.

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, the figure finally vanished from the ground, completely swallowed up by that area of land.

In the end, only a few bubbles remained on that seemingly ordinary ground.

Ma Ze stopped in his tracks.

Everyone's thoughts paused for a moment.

After a brief silence, someone tentatively spoke up.

"Will he... come out again?"
