“Originally I didn’t make a move because there really wasn’t a good reason, but now it’s different.”

Earth-Pig walked in with an arrogant expression, the tall female Earth-Horse behind him following closely.

“Then you should explain…” Earth-Sheep asked with a cold laugh. “That kick just now—what was the reason for it?”

“Because you’re going to ‘rebel.'” Earth-Pig also laughed lightly. “If it was just me alone, I couldn’t be certain, but I didn’t expect even Earth-Horse would say the same thing.”

“Oh…?” The expressions of the four people in the room all became somewhat unnatural.

“Recently there’s been a batch of strange Participants…” Earth-Pig walked forward step by step. “They seem to be mobilizing ‘Zodiacs’ to rebel in multiple games… Isn’t this treasonous?”

After hearing the other party’s words, Earth-Sheep became even more certain that what Earth-Tiger said wasn’t false.

That man called Qi Xia seemed to have truly already begun to act. There was an extremely high probability that he was Sheep Bro himself.

If that was the case, then he also needed to reassess the current battle situation.

Seeing the visitor was hostile, Slack-Off Dog’s expression remained unchanged as he asked: “Isn’t this the tyrannical Pig Bro? Which of your eyes saw us rebelling?”

“I only need to have a suspicion, and that’s enough.” Earth-Pig raised his neck to look up at the tall people before him, then smiled. “Now I’ll catch all of you in one net and bring you before Heavenly-Snake to let him see clearly.”

Seeing this, Earth-Tiger walked forward a step, blocking in front of Earth-Pig: “Dwarf, you stay right there.”

“What did you call me…?” Earth-Pig’s eyes instantly widened.

“Fuck, you little shorty, I’ve really tolerated you for a long time. Is being a pig for a long time something to be proud of?” Earth-Tiger asked viciously. “Once Sheep Bro is gone, even a stumpy pig like you can reign supreme—on what basis?”

After hearing this, Earth-Sheep furrowed his brow and also walked forward a step, standing shoulder to shoulder with Earth-Tiger.

However, the two before them had both been “Earth-Level” for decades. Their combat and killing experience far exceeded their own side. If a real fight broke out, the consequences would be very difficult to predict.

“What I hate most in this life is people saying I’m short…” Earth-Pig revealed a fierce expression, even baring his tusks.

“Short! You’re really fucking short!” Earth-Tiger laughed angrily. “We have a saying back home—people who don’t grow tall have too many schemes in their hearts that drag them down. I wonder how many fucking schemes you have in your heart?”

After hearing this, Earth-Pig wasted no more words. He jumped up on the spot and flew out with a kick. Earth-Tiger’s expression changed drastically. He extended one hand to block in front of him while his other hand shot out with a crushing punch.

After the two blocked each other’s attacks, they both flew backward. Earth-Pig quickly steadied himself, only crushing a large amount of flooring.

Earth-Tiger, on the other hand, crashed into the cabinet behind him expressionlessly, smashing the cabinet to pieces.

After one tiger and one pig stopped their momentum, they didn’t hesitate and charged forward again.

Earth-Sheep furrowed his brow and hurried to close the room door. Just as he wanted to turn back and join the battle, Earth-Horse was already blocking before him.

“Little Black Sheep, you should all obediently listen to Pig Bro.” Earth-Horse’s lipstick-covered mouth grinned. “He’s already very close to ‘Heaven-Level.’ You few rebels happen to be the medal of merit for his advancement to ‘Heaven-Level.’ If you directly admit defeat and surrender now, perhaps after he becomes ‘Heaven-Level’ he might let you off?”

“Laughable.” Earth-Sheep snorted coldly. “I didn’t expect that even as an ‘Earth-Level,’ your speech still has such childish logical flaws. Even if he could truly become ‘Heaven-Level,’ by that time we’d already be dead. What does it matter whether he lets us off or not?”

“I’m just giving you a way out. It’s up to you whether you take it.” Earth-Horse said with a smile that didn’t reach her eyes. “Pig Bro has already given you enough face by not reporting to the higher-ups. Now he’s personally come to take you in. Don’t fail to appreciate his kindness.”

“Haha!” Earth-Sheep completely burst out laughing after hearing this. “Isn’t it just because he has no evidence? If he falsely accused us, the unlucky one would be him instead. What kind of sarcastic remarks are you even making?”

Earth-Horse’s expression gradually became embarrassed and angry. She simply stopped talking, took a large step forward, and directly swung a fist toward Earth-Sheep.

Earth-Sheep slightly bent down to dodge this strike, then extended his foot and fiercely stomped down, stepping on a loose floorboard. The other end of the stepped-on floorboard rose high, directly hitting Earth-Horse’s chin and instantly shattering.

Seeing this scene, Earth-Sheep hurriedly ran forward violently, grabbed several broken wooden boards in mid-air, then thrust them toward Earth-Horse’s eyes in the instant she was dazed.

After Earth-Horse reacted, she immediately raised her knee, hitting Black Sheep’s chest. As Black Sheep flew out, he viciously threw the wooden boards in his hand, cutting Earth-Horse’s face.

In the lightning-fast exchange, both sides were injured. The situation momentarily fell into a stalemate.

Slack-Off Dog on the side picked up a plate from the ground, then grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds from the floor and tossed them into the plate. He then dragged his chair to the wall and sat down, cracking sunflower seeds while watching the four people fight.

Seeing this, Corporate Slave Mouse also moved his chair over. The two quietly cracked sunflower seeds together, as if watching a close-up movie.

“What do you say?” Slack-Off Dog asked. “Has this plan started or died prematurely?”

“Isn’t that simple?” Corporate Slave Mouse smiled. “Leader, you usually seem so deep in scheming—why are you asking such foolish questions now? Too presumptuous.”

“You’re not foolish, so tell me, in this battle, what exactly is our position?”

“Here, let me carefully recommend to you the position of ‘fence-sitter.'” Earth-Mouse covered his mouth and smiled. “In a moment, if it’s Pei Qianhu and Black-Hearted Sheep who get beaten down, then we’ll immediately go up and kick them a few times. Even if we can’t kick them to death, we’ll make them permanently disabled. But if it’s Stumpy Pig and Tall Horse who get beaten down…”

“Is that even possible…?” Slack-Off Dog asked in return. “What kind of character is that Earth-Pig…? Ever since White Sheep left, he’s reigned supreme below Earth-Dragon. How many people can take him down?”

“What if…” Corporate Slave Mouse reached out to grab a handful of sunflower seeds. “Even if you crack hundreds of these sunflower seeds and they’re all fragrant, you’ll always encounter a bad one… Even if Earth-Pig and Earth-Horse are strong, they’ll always encounter tough opponents.”

“So what do you plan to do?”

“If it’s Stumpy Pig and Tall Horse who get beaten down…” Earth-Mouse smiled slightly. “Then we can directly kill the two of them and pin the rebel label directly on them… hehe…”

“What…?” Earth-Dog narrowed his eyes to look at Earth-Mouse, feeling this was a very interesting line of thinking.

“As long as we can avoid Heavenly-Snake, whatever we say goes.” Earth-Mouse gave Earth-Dog a meaningful look. “How many Earth-Level ‘Zodiacs’ are there in total? If the four of us, who ordinarily have no connection, simultaneously insist that Earth-Pig rebelled, how could he turn the situation around?”
