Chapter 1779: I’m Just Talking Nonsense

Chapter 1779: Chapter 1779: I’m Just Talking Nonsense

Red·Red·Stone decided to pretend it didn’t exist. It thought that as long as it remained silent, no one would discover it and its great army hidden so thoroughly.

Therefore, no matter what Long Aotian said, Red·Red·Stone kept silent.

Next second.

Suddenly, a resonant voice came from the horizon: "Old Red, are you staying hidden just to demand more money? It’s just money, I’ve got plenty!"

Red·Red·Stone: "???"

Blue, Yellow, Qing: "???"

What?

Ji You’s spontaneous remark baffled all the aliens present; everyone’s expression was confused, leaving Red·Red·Stone bewildered—a deal about money with Long Aotian? Ridiculous.

Something’s off.

Her intention was to make other tribes think I was colluding with her? That won’t work. If this despicable Long Aotian is killed, other tribes won’t easily let us, the Red Clan, off.

Red·Red·Stone suddenly found itself in a real bind. Just as it was about to argue, Long Aotian spoke loudly: "100 Crystal Cores!"

Red·Red·Stone: "!!!"

Blue, Yellow, Qing: "!!!"

Just as everyone’s mouths were opening, Long Aotian added: "Level 12 ones."

Everyone: "!!!"

What?

What’s going on?

Is Long Aotian truly this wealthy? Could he really present so many Crystal Cores at once?

Shock turned to realization—it’s certainly a bluff!

Absolutely a bluff.

Do they really think Crystal Cores are common? And Level 12 ones at that! This talk is completely daring—treating everyone like fools.

...

Golden light flashed ceaselessly pouring over, raining down on Old Yellow Bull and Little Golden Dragon. Amidst the sounds of burning flesh, Ji You, sheltered in the Protective Shield by Little Golden Dragon, maintained an icy demeanor. She steadied her sniper rifle, keeping her posture unchanged.

The enemy’s previously orderly ranks were thrown into chaos by Ji You’s sudden two shots.

Blue, Yellow, Qing found themselves slightly confused by Ji You’s offhand comments, knowing they couldn’t let the ranks fall into disorder. Therefore, they chose to ignore Long Aotian’s deceptive words, trying to maintain order within their armies.

Ji You squinted her eyes and said, "If you doubt my words, you can ask Old Green. Old Green, come out and say something."

Qing·Lv·Shi: "???"

It said what?

It hadn’t received any Crystal Cores from Long Aotian. Although promised 100 Crystal Cores and random other things, it was all empty promises.

As Qing·Lv·Shi sat puzzled, both Blue and Yellow fixed their gaze on it, eyes full of suspicion, making Qing·Lv·Shi’s heart skip.

Then, Long Aotian shouted: "Old Green, without the 100 Crystal Cores, how will you cultivate the other half of your army? Brothers, if you don’t believe it, send someone to the front coordinates**—that’s where Old Green’s true army is hidden. They’re all elite, each one taking on ten—your troops are like fodder before them."

Blue, Yellow: "!!!"

Red·Red·Stone: "What?!!!"

Its voice quickly spread, entering the ears of the aliens Blue, Yellow, Red.

Damn!

As expected, Red·Red·Stone was lying in ambush waiting to reap the benefits!

In an instant, cold glints flashed in the eyes of the three: Blue, Yellow, Qing.

Realizing it had given itself away by speaking, Red·Red·Stone didn’t bother covering up anymore, loudly saying: "What do you mean? Qing·Lv·Shi secretly trained a batch of soldiers?"

Ji You replied with a smile: "That’s right, the numbers match perfectly with what you have on hand right now."

Qing·Lv·Shi anxiously replied: "You’re lying!"

Ji You squinted her eyes and said, "If it’s a lie, why don’t you send someone to find out."

Qing·Lv·Shi: "You! You’re lying."

It became visibly agitated, hidden secrets revealed before numerous tribes, Qing·Lv·Shi thought it was a disaster. After a quick panic, it said urgently: "Gentlemen, don’t listen to her nonsense, none of it’s true, don’t be misled. Our target now is to kill Long Aotian, slay the bull, and extract the blood! Don’t let her distract you, follow my lead, move quickly!"

Eyeing Little Golden Dragon’s faint wavering movement, Ji You felt a pang of tension, her voice sharp: "Old Green, we humans have a saying, ’take someone’s money to do their bidding,’ but you’re taking my money, not working, and trying to silence someone instead."

Qing·Lv·Shi: "Stop speaking nonsense!!!"

However, Qing·Lv·Shi sharply picked up on Blue and Yellow’s looks, shifting from suspicion to cold determination.

Qing·Lv·Shi instantly understood—they cared not about Long Aotian’s words but about the additional army under its control!

That is the crux.

And this army is tangible, impossible to hide swiftly. This fact alone would cause Blue, Yellow, and even the Red Clan to unite against Qing·Lv·Shi.

Qing·Lv·Shi suddenly felt stifled. This army was painstakingly trained over decades through discreet maneuvers to avoid the surrounding powers...

Why?

Why did Long Aotian know?

Under the grim stares, Qing·Lv·Shi opened its mouth, trying hard to explain: "Mr. Blue, Mr. Yellow, Mr. Red... Don’t be impulsive, think rationally. Even if I took her 100 Crystal Cores, I couldn’t train such a massive army in such a short time, so Long Aotian is talking nonsense! Don’t believe him!"

As soon as the words fell, Ji You boldly admitted, saying, "Yes, I’m the one talking nonsense, I’ve never given Old Green 100 Crystal Cores."

"!!!" Qing·Lv·Shi hurriedly said: "Listen, she admitted herself she’s talking nonsense."

Ji You glanced at it, calmly saying: "Old Red, Old Blue, Old Yellow, weigh your options—is it the solitary, weakened me—Long Aotian—that’s fearsome, or Qing·Lv·Shi with an army capable of slaughtering your entire tribe’s forces?"
