Fuck, an even bigger Insect Tide is coming any minute now, and when it does, I really want to see if you'll still be squatting here. If you are, I'll straight up wish you and Bai Fu "a harmonious union lasting a hundred years," how about that, huh?
The next evening, the thing Manu was most worried about finally happened.
"Earth Borers, it's the super corrosive Earth Borers, calling for support, calling for support!"
Amidst the dull roaring, four Adult Insects of the Earth Borers suddenly burrowed up from underground.
The mechanical high wall that made up the first line of defense was already on the brink of collapse from several previous collisions, and with this surprise attack, a section of it came crashing down.
Upon receiving the news, Manu immediately deployed troops to fill the gap. Soon after, members of the various departments of the Star Network Community, other Mercenary Groups, Players, and the Superpower Users who had arrived not long before all received orders and rushed to their respective posts.
Against the sharp shrieks of the Earth Borers and the violent trembling of the ground, the second Flood Disaster that had been brewing for days erupted with a momentum comparable to meteorites falling from the sky.
The crucial moment that would decide the war trend of Heavenly Lake Star had arrived!
Bai Fu powered through to produce Prayer Cards, it all depended on this wave to reap more benefits from the Star Network Community.
Holt sprang into action the moment he got the news.
He had just seen the Void Battle Maiden flying past in the sky; now was his perfect opportunity to act.
Haha, Bai Fu, you're as good as dead!
Holt ran excitedly to the door of the workshop, but before he could take any action, he suddenly spotted Digging Girl.
He had wanted to just send Digging Girl away, but then he remembered that Digging Girl was one of the Undying People before he could make his move.
Kill her to silence her?
So, should he use his Spirit Tentacles to brainwash Digging Girl? While this idea popped into his mind, Holt hesitated to actually do it. He wasn't sure if the brainwashing effect would still be present after Digging Girl's Resurrection. If it wasn't, just one shout from her and he would be immediately cornered by the Void Battle Maiden.
Holt had never imagined the situation would get to this. The battle had started; why was there still an Undying Person here?
Actually, Digging Girl was there to film the assembly line. She wanted to use it as material for a new video. Since she wasn't good at fighting anyway, rather than going up and causing trouble for other Players, she figured she could film around instead.
"Are you here looking for Fufu?"
Digging Girl looked at Holt with a puzzled face.
She recognized him; he was a newcomer, apparently a fanatic fan of Fufu. After all, she had seen him around at least five or six times in the last couple of days.
With that thought, her attitude immediately softened.
As long as you praise Fufu, we're good brothers and sisters!
"Fufu is very busy right now, I'm afraid she doesn't have time to entertain you. Let me know what you need."
"I..." Holt froze up, and in the end, could only scramble to make up a story, "I'm here to collect a Prayer Card."
Digging Girl said, "Prayer Cards aren't distributed here, you need to go see Commander Manu. I'll take you... oh, no need for me to take you, Devotion to Fu, you take him to Commander Manu to get the Prayer Card. He's new here and doesn't know the situation."
Devotion to Fu came over from a distance, and Digging Girl whispered a few words to him, not forgetting to remind Devotion to Fu that Holt was Fufu's fanatic fan.
Of course, Devotion to Fu understood what Digging Girl meant—it was a reminder not to embarrass Fufu in front of her fanatic fan.
Such a simple matter, we're all fanatics of Fufu—let's show Holt our enthusiasm.
He approached Holt, and leading him toward Manu, he passionately indoctrinated Holt as they walked.
Fu Sect is good, Fu Sect is amazing, join Fu Sect and everything will be amazing!
"Fufu is a very kind person. If you want to talk to Fufu, just show some valor during the battle with those insects. Don't worry, Commander Manu has Spiritual Ability Shield Cards; as long as you don't do anything reckless, those insects won't be able to hurt you, at least not for a while."
Devotion to Fu rambled on without a pause.
Holt's face turned a shade of iron blue.
I came here to beat Bai Fu and send her off, not to be your meat shield!
He really wanted to leave, but as soon as he thought that Devotion to Fu was also one of the Undying People, he felt numb.
Acting strangely now would definitely get him targeted, right?
Damn it, why in the world do these Undying bastards exist!
Holt was close to exploding with rage.
