Chapter 178 Crouching Dragon and Young Phoenix
Chapter 178 Crouching Dragon and Young Phoenix
"Queen!"
Atuo and the others' expressions changed instantly, their eyes filled with disbelief.
They've surrendered already?
They followed the Queen in countless battles across the land for tens of thousands of years, gritting their teeth and persevering through countless perilous situations.
Why is it that today, even in my own base, I don't have the courage to fight to the death?
Is this still the queen they know?
Even if things go wrong, detonating Devil One and perishing together is better than surrendering, right?
Li Yao was also somewhat surprised, raising an eyebrow: "Not going to take a gamble?"
Morgana rolled her eyes on the spot.
搏?
Is she risking her life?
This is on her home base, Demon One, but the void is suppressed and the spacetime technology is sealed off. What can she fight with?
As for whether Carl will come to rescue her?
She no longer held out much hope for this. Since Hua Ye had died at Li Yao's hands, it meant that Karl's space technology had also been cracked by him.
Seeing her resigned expression, Li Yao nodded: "In that case..."
"Wait a moment!"
Morgana suddenly interrupted, craning her neck and looking up at him: "Can you tell me how you located Demon One? Let me die knowing why."
As soon as the question was asked, all the demons present perked up their ears.
Black Wind, in particular, shrank back, his eyes darting around.
He didn't want to be burdened with a huge accusation before he died.
Let's let the last one go, but if we pin this on him again, wouldn't he be wronged?
Li Yao smiled, casually raised his chin, and pointed to a corner:
"Look, there's a locator for me over there."
Everyone followed his gaze and looked over.
Soton was sitting in the corner, his crocodile tail dangling on the ground, scratching his little head with a bewildered expression.
"Hey? Why are you all staring at me, Thorton?"
He patted his round belly foolishly and asked in a muffled voice:
"Are you still going to fight? If not, I'm going to the kitchen; I'm starving."
The crowd present: "..."
Morgana's temples throbbed with veins, and her lips twitched involuntarily.
Atto stiffly turned his head away, pretending he didn't recognize the crocodile.
Black Wind first let out a long sigh of relief, then his sarcastic tone came out.
He chuckled maliciously, "I told you this had nothing to do with me, didn't I? The root of the problem lies entirely with this stupid crocodile."
Upon hearing this, Thorton immediately became displeased. He flicked his crocodile tail, stood up, pointed at Black Wind, and began to curse:
"Hey! You tasteless, eccentric jerk, who are you calling an idiot!"
"I'm talking to you, you silly crocodile."
Black Wind enters taunt mode:
"No wonder you always fall asleep during battles with angels. Turns out you're an angel spy planted in the ground. It's a shame the Queen treats you like a precious treasure."
"Bullshit! I'm not an undercover agent!"
Thornton was so angry he stomped his feet:
"You shady, two-faced devil! Didn't you kill your own people last time? I think you're the real spy!"
Black Wind immediately retorted, "What do you know! I was being controlled!"
As he spoke, his voice suddenly rose in pitch:
"Even so, I'm still better than you who do nothing but eat and sleep. It's better to support a squad of Taotie soldiers than to support you. At least they can operate warships and fire cannons."
Thornton retorted, "What do you know! I need to be well-fed to have the energy to fight!"
Then, its eyes darted around, and it said sarcastically:
"You thing that doesn't even have a leg, how dare you laugh at me?"
Black Wind, stung by Soton's words, retorted:
"At least I have a brain! Unlike you, your brain is just a lump of mush!"
"you!"
Thornton was so angry that he spun around on the spot, his crocodile tail thrashing wildly, shouting, "I'll bite you to death!"
Black Wind waved his hand and sneered, "Come on, you've got guts if you can bite it!"
The two started hurling insults at each other, oblivious to everyone else, one making sarcastic remarks and the other yelling angrily.
The atmosphere in the command center suddenly changed.
The surrounding group of demons stared in disbelief.
Dude, this is a life-or-death situation, is this how you guys are behaving?
Or are you two, the Crouching Dragon and the Young Phoenix, sent by the Monkey King to make us laugh?
At this moment, they felt that the demon legion had completely lost face.
Li Yao stood to the side with his arms crossed, watching with great interest, clearly in a leisurely, gossipy manner.
He wasn't in a hurry to wrap things up, since he had locked down Demon One, and these people wouldn't be able to escape.
Moreover, watching this pair of brilliant strategists is much more interesting than watching them fight.
"Shut up, all of you!"
A furious shout suddenly rang out.
Morgana was so angry that her chest heaved violently, and her hand pointing at the two of them trembled slightly.
"You two idiots! Aren't you ashamed of yourselves!"
The command center fell silent for a moment.
Black Wind instinctively shrank his neck, but couldn't help muttering something under his breath:
"Look, Your Majesty, you made a mistake yourself, recruiting an undercover agent. That's just how our team is, all muddled and confused."
"I!"
Morgana clutched her chest, gasping for breath several times, almost fainting.
Watching the chaotic scene unfold, Li Yao silently sighed to himself.
As a king who also ruled over a civilization, he couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for Morgana at this moment.
Having such oddballs under my command makes this team really difficult to manage.
After a moment, Li Yao clapped his hands, silencing the two, and then said to Morgana:
"Alright, now it's time to face your death."
"Wait! Queen, I'll make a deal with you!" Morgana shouted urgently.
Li Yao raised an eyebrow: "Tell me about it."
Morgana immediately said, "I'll give you two sets of resources for the fourth-generation divine body."
As she spoke, she pointed at Ato and the others, her tone decisive: "The condition is that they leave alive."
"Queen! We do not seek to live a life of dishonor! We are willing to fight to the death with you!" Ato roared, his eyes red.
"Shut up!"
Morgana's eyes flashed with anger, and she turned to him, snapping, "This is a conversation between kings, what right do you have to interrupt!"
She turned back to look at Li Yao, took a deep breath to compose herself, and said, "How about it? You're guaranteed to make a profit on this deal."
Li Yao chuckled and shook his head: "Morgana, have you miscalculated?"
"Even if I kill you, Devil One, along with all your assets, will still be mine. Why should I make a deal with you?"
But Morgana suddenly revealed a sly smile and mysteriously wagged her finger:
"No, no, no, if you kill me, you can only get one resource of a fourth-generation divine body at most."
Li Yao frowned slightly, his gaze falling on her face: "What do you mean?"
Morgana explained, "There's a piece of information you probably haven't read yet."
"Karl made a deal with me before. As long as I made a move, whether it succeeded or not, he would give me a fourth-generation divine body resource."
She paused, her eyes flashing, "So I can help you trick Karl into giving you another complete set of fourth-generation divine body resources."
These words left Li Yao speechless.
