Lang Qianxing had no idea what Lu Zixun had said to him the night before.
Just as he woke up and stepped out of his tent, he saw Lu Zixun, with the bright sun above him, directing the members of the Teeth Wolf Clan in constructing defense works.
Still bleary-eyed, Lang Qianxing, yawning, waved at Lu Zixun.
"How exactly are things with the Demon Clan’s technology?"
Lu Zixun, who had been up for a while, was only feeling overwhelmed now.
Lang Qianxing, who had walked to the pond to wash his face, asked groggily.
"Not to mention metal, even moving stones requires manpower, and these stones aren’t even that sturdy."
As he spoke, Lu Zixun lifted his paw and smacked down, turning a stone into powder, "Look, just ."
Having stood up and seen this, Lang Qianxing gave a sheepish smile, "There’s no helping it; the Demon Clan doesn’t have the means to smelt metal, and I haven’t heard of anyone who’s ’Awakened’ the ability to control metal, so we have to rely on some primitive methods."
He paused for a moment.
Clearing his throat, Lang Qianxing called out, "Isela, back to work."
A creature, which had a horn on its head and somewhat resembled a dragon, flew over.
Landing beside Lang Qianxing, "Who is this cat? It looks pretty cute."
At this moment, Lu Zixun, whose brain had somewhat crashed, stared at Isela speechless for a long while.
There were actually dragons here, albeit this one was a bit small, not even half the size of Lang Qianxing, but it was still a dragon.
"Let me introduce you: This is Lu Zixun, my good brother; this is Isela, from the Flood Dragon Clan. The primitive method I mentioned will depend on her."
They introduced each other.
Lang Qianxing rubbed Isela’s horn, "Just find a place and show Zixun."
"Don’t touch someone’s horn; it makes me shy."
With a huff, Isela ran to a stone wall that had just been erected.
Her claws touched the surface of the wall as she softly chanted something.
When Isela finished chanting, a golden glow covered the outside of the stone wall.
It looked somewhat akin to the Spiritual Barrier.
Coming up to the wall, Lu Zixun slapped it with his paw.
The golden glow trembled continuously, and cracks appeared on the enshrouded stone wall, but it did not collapse.
Spreading the force of an attack received at one point across the entire surface was what Lang Qianxing referred to as the primitive method.
"You, are very strong."
Isela, seeing her just-casted Magic nearly collapse from Lu Zixun’s light slap, watched him with a grave expression.
"It’s still too fragile."
Shaking his head, Lu Zixun turned back and his gaze fell on Lang Qianxing, "This method can fend off a small Insect Tide, but it won’t stand against a medium Insect Tide led by a Thorny Snake."
Before Lang Qianxing could finish, a rustling noise came from beyond the city walls.
Climbing to the top, Lu Zixun looked out in one glance.
What met his gaze was an endless Insect Tide, and the Insect Clan member wearing a red mask, leading at the front of the Insect Tide.
"Sears, why is he here."
Lang Qianxing’s pupils shrank as he identified the identity of the creature leading the Insect Tide.
Lu Zixun, who had never heard this name before, looked at Lang Qianxing with a puzzled tilt of his head.
"Ding—Detecting that the Killing Intent Value from Sears is +2000."
The next moment, the system’s prompt sounded.
Lu Zixun took a deep breath, "Alright, we’re dealing with an S-level entity, just above that level."
"Sears is much stronger than King-level. Its real form is a Blood Worm with noble bloodline, extremely tough to deal with."
With a somewhat ugly expression, Lang Qianxing began to organize his men: "The visitor means no good, prepare for battle!"
Just as the Demon Clan’s garrison was engulfed in tension, Sears raised a hand and the Insect Tide stopped at a boundary five hundred meters away from the garrison.
Sears, leading the group, sneered while calling out Lu Zixun’s name.
At this moment, Lang Qianxing and Isela looked at Lu Zixun with surprise on their faces.
Perhaps to those they did not understand, it felt very confusing.
But for Lu Zixun, who did understand, it was still bewildering.
Wings condensed from Blood Energy appeared behind him, and Sears flew into the air, looking down from above at Lu Zixun.
"I warn you it’s best not to interfere with the matters of Zone 13; otherwise, not even the Queen can save you."
With a head full of question marks, Lu Zixun looked up at Sears, puzzled.
With a cold snort, as Sears was about to leave, dozens of Ice Chains appeared, and the next moment, they pierced through Sears’ body.
"You think you can run after putting on airs?"
With a sneer, Lu Zixun floated in the air and pulled Sears over: "Tell me, who is this ’Queen’ you speak of?"
Sears, who wanted to utilize his Blood Energy, suddenly changed color as the Blood Energy inside his body froze.
Lu Zixun, who had specifically studied how to deal with the Insect Clan, had purposefully learned from the book "How to Block Blood Energy and Capture Insect Clan Members" in the system.
At this moment, unable to use his Blood Energy, Sears tried to drive the Insect Tide to rescue himself.
But Lu Zixun, who had taken precautions, released a surge of Spiritual Energy.
A bone-chilling cold instantly filled Sears’ body.
Without the protection of Blood Energy, Sears became rigid in an instant, unable to make a single move.
Looking at the Insect Tide waiting for orders.
Lu Zixun turned his gaze to Lang Qianxing: "You go and command the construction of the defenses. I will keep watch here, call me if there’s any situation."
Sears, who was nearly frozen to death by the severe cold, now displayed a pleading look in his eyes.
Seeing this, not only did Lu Zixun’s heart remain undisturbed, but he even felt a desire to laugh.
He could still vividly remember Sears’ previous bravado.
Not until he felt Sears’ life essence within was almost imperceptible did he glance back at the defensive construction.
Only after feeling confident that it would withstand the wave of the Insect Tide, did Lu Zixun leisurely withdraw his Spiritual Energy.
As the temperature returned to normal within his body, a look of having survived a catastrophe appeared on Sears’ face.
Trembling as he stared at Lu Zixun, not far away.
"Answer my previous question."
His gaze falling on Sears, Lu Zixun said indifferently.
"I... I sensed the Queen’s favor, and I thought it was the Queen who had come. I didn’t expect that the presence I felt was of a demon called Lu Zixun..."
Sears continued: "The issue of hierarchical conflict prevented me from attacking someone with the Queen’s favor. I could only use this method to scare him off and fulfill the task She gave me."
Catching the reference in Sears’ words, Lu Zixun’s eyes narrowed: "Who is he? Is he also from the Insect Clan?"
He had barely started speaking when Sears’ eyes widened in terror.
Blood seeped from beneath his skin, and the next moment, he turned into a blood-covered figure.
