Heavenly-Dog’s face turned pale as he listened to Qi Xia speak on the “Train,” feeling that this person must have gone crazy.

No… rather than saying he had gone crazy, it would be better to say that he himself had gone crazy.

He had clearly heard such treasonous words, yet somehow he couldn’t produce any reaction. He knew he completely didn’t want to expose this situation to Qinglong.

Today, the entire “Peach Blossom Spring” was too abnormal. Not only was there a riot unseen in ten years, but there was also a heaven-sent opportunity—

Qinglong couldn’t hear anymore.

Besides the “ears,” he seemed to have also planted eyes in “Extreme Path,” and for some unknown reason, even those eyes had gone blind.

How could this not be considered a heaven-sent opportunity?

Numerous coincidences gathered together, making Qinglong deaf and blind at this moment, only able to sit here and rest.

He was now the only ear in the entire “Peach Blossom Spring.” Under any circumstances, it was like this. Once a single person monopolizes an organization’s eyes, ears, and voice, even those with the highest authority must believe what he says, even if everything he says is a lie.

And now, these people truly wanted to rebel. They wanted to kill Qinglong.

Even if the rebellion ultimately failed and Qinglong sought accountability, as long as he insisted he hadn’t heard anything, he could still remain in an absolutely safe position. After all, even Qinglong couldn’t produce any evidence to sanction him…

Heavenly-Snake stared into Heavenly-Dog’s eyes, listening to his clear inner voice, cold sweat continuously streaming down.

He had never imagined that Heavenly-Dog, who appeared most obedient and compliant to Qinglong, would make the most rebellious move at this moment. But what could he do right now?

If he stood up now to tell Qinglong that someone below wanted to kill him, it would undoubtedly be betraying Heavenly-Dog, so Heavenly-Dog would definitely not admit he had heard anything to protect himself.

Then why would Qinglong believe him, someone without “Spirit Hearing”?

At this point, Heavenly-Snake also clearly heard Heavenly-Dog’s inner voice: “Let’s just pretend we didn’t hear anything.”

“But if they really succeed… won’t we be liberated?”

After hearing this, Heavenly-Snake was slightly startled and gradually understood Heavenly-Dog’s thinking.

This was just an attempt… an attempt to place himself in a safe position and then watch the fire from across the river.

No one in this world was willing to be an “ear” forever, and no one wanted to always be a dog.

Qinglong’s death meant Heavenly-Dragon’s death. Although chaos might ensue here, at least all the “Heaven-levels” would be liberated.

So what harm was there in trying…?

Thinking of this, Heavenly-Snake slowly lowered his head, acting as if nothing had happened.

At other venues, Yan Zhichun and Jiang Ruoxue similarly didn’t immediately enter the transmission “Door.”

Right now was the peak period for “Zodiacs” getting off work. The two stood at the entrance without making any moves.

The recent turbulent situation meant not many “Participants” would engage in games, causing many “Zodiacs” to have nothing to do. After opening the transmission door, they would immediately leave.

Although the two couldn’t articulate theories like “a massive Prisoner’s Dilemma,” they vaguely felt that entering the door first would encounter danger.

Theoretically, Zhoumo should be transmitting messages between the various teams at this moment, reporting the situation to Yan Zhichun. But Zhoumo’s situation was the most dangerous. As long as she couldn’t extricate herself, everyone’s information could never be synchronized.

Right now, no one knew what the situation inside the “Train” really was. Even Yan Zhichun couldn’t guess whether hotheads like Old Sun and Old Deng would immediately enter the “Train” and thus cause a commotion. For her, the best approach was only to wait.

Wait until the “Zodiacs” had all left, wait until “Zhu Que” was dead.

And Chu Tianqiu also didn’t immediately enter the door at this moment. He stood outside the door with Zhang Shan and Qin Dingdong, each lost in their own thoughts.

Earth-Mouse looked at the time and slowly breathed a sigh of relief. “Looks like it’s not me who’s dying, but someone else.”

Chu Tianqiu knew Zhu Que had appeared. He turned back to look at Jin Yuanxun, Li Xiangling, and Little Glasses, and said, “No matter what the situation is in a moment, none of you are permitted to help kill Zhu Que. That man is truly too dangerous.”

“Brother Chu…” Jin Yuanxun was startled. “Could he be even more dangerous than Xuanwu…”

“The type of danger they pose is different,” Chu Tianqiu said, then looked at Wei Yang. “But… I think you should bring your ‘soldiers’ to take a look.”

“Oh…?” Wei Yang paused. “What insight do you have?”

“No wonder you couldn’t become Heavenly-Sheep,” Chu Tianqiu smiled.

Wei Yang was about to say something, but after staring into Chu Tianqiu’s eyes for half a second, he instantly froze.

“What…” Wei Yang muttered to himself. “How did I not think of it… so that’s how it is… once Zhu Que dies… the effect of ‘Soul Seizure’ disappears… all the ‘Natives’ will be liberated?!”

…

After Qian Wu appeared on the scene, the rest of the “Cat” teams also appeared one after another within about two minutes. Everyone was practically dragging their injured bodies and running desperately toward Zhoumo’s direction, finally arriving here before Zhu Que could strike a fatal blow.

Currently, only Song Qi and Ma Twelve, who were the farthest away, hadn’t arrived yet.

“Somewhat interesting,” Zhu Que surveyed the area and asked, “Twin Flowers,’ you’ve surrounded me here but neither speak nor attack. What are you planning to do?”

Qian Wu walked forward and patted Chou Twenty’s shoulder. His entire person instantly grew taller in stature.

While holding a cigarette in his mouth, he walked toward Liu Twenty-One on the ground, slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, and said, “The reason for neither moving nor running is to keep you guessing. In the time ahead… things you can’t figure out will continue to increase.”

After saying this, he stroked Liu Twenty-One, and Liu Twenty-One’s body was reshaped like plasticine, transforming into Chou Twenty’s shape in a moment.

“Oh…?” Zhu Que completely ignored Qian Wu, who was performing rescue operations, and merely raised his eyebrows. “In past situations when a ‘violation incident’ occurred, almost everyone would immediately distance themselves from me, yet you’ve gathered together. Should I say you’re too obedient… or too presumptuous?”

Qian Wu took down the cigarette and gently threw it on the ground.

He knew that facing a figure like Zhu Que, the urgent priority was to find a way to make contact with him, but Zhu Que obviously wouldn’t give himself such an opportunity.

Qian Wu frowned and looked at Zhu Que’s wrist. Many ethereal plant vines had already emerged from the human heads and begun climbing up his arms. It seemed he hadn’t realized it yet, and Qian Wu immediately had a plan in mind.

There wasn’t much time to begin with, so now they could only cut through the chaos quickly. Otherwise, after dark when the “Ants” appeared, Zhu Que would flee, and they probably would never have such a good opportunity to approach Zhu Que together again.

He turned his head back and gave “Wild Growth” Ning Eighteen a look. Ning Eighteen nodded, extended his hand and whistled, and the “Cat” team immediately began their operation.

The plants on Zhu Que’s arms instantly began “wild growth.” All the severed necks of the human heads began to take root downward, reaching the ground in a moment.

Meanwhile, the vines on the other side continued climbing upward, tightly entangling Zhu Que within seconds.

“Hmm?” Zhu Que remained expressionless, as if this situation was completely within his expectations. “Are you planning to wrap me up with plants? Unfortunately, these things are far too fragile.”

“Fragile?” Qian Wu sneered. “Then you’d better start struggling. I want to see if you can really break free.”

The vines continued to thicken and spread, and within just a few seconds, Zhu Que’s entire body was tightly bound. Not only his arms, but his legs, waist, and even neck were all entangled by the vines.

“All of you, attack together,” Qian Wu turned his head and said to everyone. “Don’t give him any chance. This is our only opportunity.”

Hearing this, the members of the “Cat” team immediately began to move. Some brandished weapons, some prepared their “Echoes.” Everyone knew this was a decisive battle—either Zhu Que died here today, or they would have no chance again.

“How interesting,” Zhu Que said with a smile. “Do you really think these fragile plants can restrain me?”

Before his words fell, the vines binding him suddenly began to crack, as if they would break free in the next second.

But at this moment, Ning Eighteen extended both hands, and more vines surged forth like a tide, layer upon layer wrapping around Zhu Que again.

“Hold him down!” Qian Wu shouted loudly. “Don’t let him break free!”

All the members of the “Cat” team rushed forward together. They knew this was their only chance. If they missed this opportunity, they might never have another chance to kill Zhu Que.
