1175 Do You Think I'm Stupid?
The devil ovum started to get agitated and nervous after entering basement 10. It probably sensed that the Force around it was a threat.
General Cameron noticed it too. A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he explained, "This place is specially used to lock up powerful dark apparitions that can't be killed instantly. It's the best place to seal this devil ovum."
"I see." Wang Teng nodded.
No wonder there was an underground space built of light energy stone.
Mind you, light energy stones were rarer than other types of energy stones. With the size of this underground space, it definitely needed countless light energy stones. The military wouldn't have the power to construct it.
But it made sense if it was to lock up dark apparitions.
There was a long corridor in front with rooms sealed along the sides. Wang Teng could sense that they were empty. There was nothing inside.
General Cameron noticed Wang Teng's gaze and explained, "I asked my men to remove all the dark apparitions here so that no accidents will happen to the devil ovum."
"The military captures dark apparitions for research?" Wang Teng looked at the research devices and asked.
"Yes, we want to know their weakness." General Cameron nodded.
Wang Teng had no sympathy toward dark apparitions, so he didn't find it inappropriate.
At this moment, the devil ovum he was carrying on his shoulder suddenly trembled violently and gave off a shrill cry. Chaotic spiritual fluctuations surged out.
This time, the spirit attack wasn't aimed at Wang Teng. Instead, it was directed at General Cameron.
"Be careful!" Wang Teng reminded him quickly.
Even though General Cameron was a universe-stage martial warrior, the spiritual attack of the devil ovum was unpredictable and mysterious. It was almost impossible to guard against it, so it would be troublesome if General Cameron got affected.
The devil ovum had been obedient all this while, so Wang Teng thought that it wouldn't cause any trouble. He didn't expect it to launch its Enchantment attack now.
Since it couldn't get anything from Wang Teng, it changed its target to General Cameron.
Not everyone was as perverted as Wang Teng. No matter how powerful they were, there would be loopholes in their spirit.
General Cameron was more powerful than Wang Teng, so if he was enchanted, he could take care of Wang Teng easily.
This was a good chance.
"Hmph!"
General Cameron snorted. An oppressive spirit shot out from his forehead, bringing along a terrifying killing intent with it. It shattered the devil ovum's chaotic spirit attack.
Wang Teng felt relieved.
"Do you think an infant devil ovum can enchant me?" General Cameron scoffed.
"Why are you still struggling?" Wang Teng took out his sword and stabbed the devil ovum.
Splash!
The sword penetrated the devil ovum.
General Cameron: …
Devil ovum: …
This was sudden.
General Cameron was caught off guard.
The devil ovum felt depressed. Despite trying its best, it failed to enchant the human martial warrior at the side. It even angered this evil guy and suffered a sword stab.
What a loss!
"Be obedient!" Wang Teng pulled out his sword and scoffed. "I'll chop you into pieces if you cause trouble again."
Devil ovum: …
General Cameron was speechless. He felt a little astounded and asked, "Aren't you affected by the devil ovum?"
"No, it's just a devil ovum. How can it affect me?" Wang Teng kept his sword and said casually.
"Do you have a way to destroy this devil ovum?" General Cameron asked with a tinge of hope.
"This… is hard to say." Wang Teng touched his chin and pondered. "When I stab it, it heals immediately. It will be hard to destroy it for now."
"Does it mean that you have a way?" General Cameron caught the hint in his sentence and asked.
"Cough… I didn't say that." Wang Teng coughed awkwardly.
Why would he do something that wouldn't net him any benefits?
"Major Wang Teng, you should understand that if we want to destroy this devil ovum, we will need to invite an eternal-stage martial warrior. However, eternal-stage martial warriors shouldn't be activated easily. They have a great influence," General Cameron softened his tone and tried to convince Wang Teng.
"General Cameron, you yourself said that only eternal-stage martial warriors can solve this issue. What can a celestial-stage martial warrior like me do?" Wang Teng wouldn't admit that he had a way out.
This little brat! General Cameron glanced at him and felt helpless. "How about this? I won't ask you to work for free. If you can destroy this devil ovum, I'll reward you with 30,000 more military contributions," General Cameron suggested.
"How many military contributions will I get for getting this devil ovum back?" Wang Teng asked. He wasn't in a hurry to accept the offer.
General Cameron's expression froze. He hesitated for some time before replying unwillingly, "100,000."
"I get 100,000 military contributions for getting the devil ovum back and only 30,000 for destroying it?" Wang Teng widened his eyes in disbelief. Does he think I'm stupid?
"You can't say that. Since the devil ovum is in our hands, we'll take care of it sooner or later," General Cameron said without any changes in his expression.
"Oh, in that case, you can get an eternal-stage martial warrior to take care of it. I can't handle it," Wang Teng replied.
"Major Wang Teng, you're a little insensitive," General Cameron said in a meaningful tone. The muscles on his face twitched a little.
"I came for the experience. Why do I need to be sensitive? If you think I'm not capable, I can go to another defense planet. I believe that someone will be willing to accept me with my ability," Wang Teng replied calmly.
General Cameron realized how hard Wang Teng was to deal with.
When he first saw him, he had high hopes for him. Now, he just wanted to rub him against the floor.
What an evil heart!
He was bold too!
He didn't give any face to him, a universe-stage martial warrior and the commander of the main base. This was his first time meeting such a celestial-stage martial warrior.
He suspected that this lad wasn't a celestial-stage martial warrior. If not, where did he get his confidence to reject him?
"I heard that you have a grudge against the Parkers." General Cameron warned himself not to get angry. He needed to employ a soft approach when facing such tough people and convince them with reasons.
This young man was right. A capable person was welcomed anywhere.
Wang Teng made such a huge contribution the moment he came to the No. 29 Defense Planet. Not everyone could replicate his performance.
It was impossible for General Cameron to give up this budding young martial warrior.
Since he was sent here, there was no reason to force him away.
"It's not just a grudge. It's many many grudges," Wang Teng answered calmly.
General Cameron choked.
What was wrong with this young man's mind?
Was this of any concern?
He only cared if there was a grudge, not the intensity or number of grudges.
"Do you want to take revenge for me?" Wang Teng asked with a smile.
"Don't even think about it." General Cameron rolled his eyes.
"Sigh, I thought you wanted to help me clear my path because I'm so pitiful," Wang Teng said sadly.
"No one can help you since you created this trouble yourself. But…" General Cameron kept Wang Teng in suspense.
"But what?" Wang Teng smiled. He didn't mind.
"However, if you are able to climb to a high position in our military and gain the recognization of the 18 military lords, the Parkers will have to bow down to you too," General Cameron continued.
"The 18 military lords!" Wang Teng's eyes shimmered.
"Wang Teng, he's right. The military lords hold exceptional influence. Every one of them controls a formidable army and has numerous powerful martial warriors below them. They aren't weaker than the Parkers," Round Ball suddenly spoke in Wang Teng's mind.
"Oh, they're so powerful?"
"Of course. They're all formidable warriors who walked out of countless battlefields and have guarded defense planets for many generations. How can they not be powerful?" Round Ball said.
