Final Lord

Chapter 231 Evil Eye Joins
"Now, the vote." The elder's voice was like a bubble rising from the abyss. He crawled to the center of the square and used magic to carve three huge concentric circles: "Those who are willing to accept the conditions, place your tentacles on the inner circle. Those who are unwilling, step out yourself."

Unsurprisingly, not a single evil eye left the circle.

"Before sunrise tomorrow," the elder said, slapping the ground with his broken finger, splashing mud mixed with silver dust, "all the evil eyes must return what belongs to the White Spirit Forest to the sacrificial plaza."

At sunrise, all the adult Evil Eyes gather in the mudflats.

The remaining eyeballs of the Evil Eye Elder suddenly turned to the southeast, and the faint sounds of the cavemen's training chants could still be heard in his ears.

"That demon... no, the lord will personally... assign us training tasks."

……

Within the White Spirit Tree King, the White Spirit, unusually, did not sleep. Fighting off drowsiness, it observed everything that happened among the Evil Eye Clan. Only after seeing that the Evil Eyes had all made the right choices did it close its eyes with satisfaction.

……

When Wang Bufu first entered the White Spirit Forest, he was an outsider and was blocked and harassed by a large group of evil eyes.

When they entered the White Spirit Forest for the second time, Wang Bufu was their savior, with countless evil eyes fawning over him.

Upon entering the forest, every step Wang Bufu took was met with evil eyes scrambling to their feet; the magical eyeballs that had once monitored him had now transformed into fluorescent flowers symbolizing welcome.

"Watch out for the puddle, sir!" A malevolent eye suddenly plunged into the puddle, sucking up the mud with its belly, and then let the caveman step over its body.

"This way, sirs! This way, sirs!" The other evil eye frantically used its tentacles to fan Wang Bufu's troops, fearing they would get too hot.

Elder Evil Eye was even more obsequious, binding himself up like a pretzel and hanging himself in front of Wang Bufu's carriage as a bell, squeezing out a fawning smile with each swing: "Ding-dong! This is my specially made navigation service!"

Wang Bufu stroked Elder Evil Eye's still-bruised eyeball and chuckled, "It would have been better if you had done this sooner." He applied a little more pressure with his fingertips, and the other man trembled in pain but dared not flinch. Instead, he forced out an even brighter smile: "You...you pinched so well! Want to do it again?"

Elder Evil Eye harbored no resentment towards Wang Bufu's behavior. He knew that the more miserable they appeared, the higher their chances of staying in the White Spirit Forest.

The changes deep in the forest are even more astonishing.

The buttress roots of the White Spirit Tree King stretched out like a living thing, forming an archway before Wang Bufu, with crystalline steps extending from the spring to his feet. Those hexagonal leaves that had once threatened him under the control of the Evil Eye now concealed their sharpness, behaving as obediently as docile kittens.

"Brother Unconvinced, you've finally arrived!"

Bai Ling smugly circled around Wang Bufu: "How about that? I told you I'd make them beg you to come in!"

She flicked her forehead tendrils, and the Evil Eyes immediately shouted in unison, "Welcome back to the White Spirit Forest, Lord Wang! May the friendship between Lord Wang and the White Spirit God last forever!"

"Haha. Thank you, Sister Bai Ling, for standing up for me. I feel much better now."

Wang Bufu glanced at the evil eyes and said to Bai Ling, "Sister Bai Ling."

From the brother's perspective, blasphemy deserves death. But since they have realized their mistake and sincerely repented, it would be a pity to kill them.

"Now is a time when we need manpower, so I'll just say this: I beg you, sister, to give them a way out, to let them atone for their crimes through meritorious service. What do you think, sister?"

"As long as you're not angry, I'll listen to you," Bai Ling said, flapping her wings with satisfaction.

"Very well!" Wang Bufu turned to face the Evil Eye Clan, his face stern, and said, "From today onwards, you must join my army and learn how to slay chaos for the White Spirit God, atoning for your sins in battles of blood and fire. Understand?"

"understand!"

Elder Evil Eye struggled and fell off the carriage, his tentacles twisting as he scrambled to Wang Bufu's feet, kneeling on the ground and repeatedly shouting, "Thank you for taking me in, Lord!"

"Thank you for taking me in, lord!"

[A total of 1343 Evil Eyes have requested to join your team. Do you agree?]

"agree."

In the blink of an eye, the strength under Wang Bufu's command surged once again. [Race: Evil Eye Clan]

Wang Bufu glanced at Elder Evil Eye in surprise. This cunning old fellow was actually quite talented.

The most interesting thing is that his name is still Elder Evil Eye. It's estimated that so many people call him Elder Evil Eye that he has forgotten his real name.

Wang Bufu glanced at the Evil Eye clan and quickly spotted a towering figure among them.

While a large group of Evil Eyes were vying to pledge their loyalty, he remained quietly among the crowd, neither arrogant nor humble.

It was he who displayed the statue of the White Spirit God on his stall while selling his wares.
