Why did you provoke me?

Although she heard his question, Yu Meng did not come out.

It's difficult to get the attention of these long-lived people, and the Overlord Line is definitely an anomaly in this world.

Sure enough, the human-like backward movement of the Tyrant's lines caught the man's attention.

"Are you saying I can't touch you?"

The Overlord tapped one of its tentacles in mid-air, then tilted it to one side.

"You actually understood what I meant." The man's expressionless face narrowed slightly in his eyes. "Those things were mine, but you ate them. How do you plan to compensate me?"

Hearing this, Yu Meng was quite impressed with him. "This person is really strong-willed. Not only was he not afraid, but he also made the most useful decision for himself."

The monstrous tentacles twitched rapidly, and the body retreated a short distance, as if to say, "I didn't do it, you're framing me."

It then landed in the grass and swam away quickly.

The man made several quick movements with his hands, then flung something away.

Yu Meng's heart tightened, and she lightly stomped her right foot, causing a thin crack to appear where the Overlord's lines were. The Overlord instantly burrowed into it.

The thrown object missed its target, the attack failed, and the man was visibly taken aback. "So clever?"

Then a magic circle not far away disappeared.

This time he really laughed, and one of the tyrant's tentacles even provocatively poked its head out and swayed in his direction.

The man didn't chase after them; he turned around and walked back.

Yu Meng realized this was a ploy to lure her in, but she wasn't going to fall for it.

The Tyrant's lines became even more unrestrained; it was no longer satisfied with the small magic circle, and this time it lay down on a defensive magic circle.

With a soft "pop," the defensive magic circle dissipated.

The man stopped, his voice gentle, "If you come back with me, I have many more of these."

Yu Meng smiled; this was a direct confrontation, a blatant attempt to seduce her. But that wasn't her real intention!

So the tentacles of the Overlord's lines drew a circle downwards. Then they raised themselves up again, facing him.

"Oh, what do you mean by that?"

The Overlord spun around again, tapping the ground with its tentacles.

"You don't mean this place is yours, do you?" the man said slowly, clearly guessing as well.

The overlord hurriedly nodded, indicating that he was right.

The man laughed out loud this time. "So you can claim any place as yours? This battlefield is still mine, isn't it?"

Upon hearing him say this, Yu Meng realized that this person was just like the cripple.

The Overlord tilted its tentacles slightly, then found a magic circle and began absorbing energy.

It indicated that it did not understand what the long-haired man was saying.

The man wasn't bothered by it. Since this unknown thing liked the formation he had set up, he was confident that it would be his sooner or later.

So he squatted down and re-attached the dissipated formations.

Therefore, when Old Chen came out and stood at the door, he saw the long-haired man busy on the grass.

"Sir, what are you doing?"

The long-haired man replied softly, "It's nothing, just entertaining a child."

"Oh, who's here?"

The man didn't speak, but pointed to a spot.

The Overlord cooperated by shaking its tentacles.

"What is it? A new alien?" Old Chen's breathing quickened. "Can we catch it? Such a sentient alien is very valuable for research."

The long-haired man paused in his actions. "Perhaps it's something from the dense forest; it says this place belongs to it."

"It can even communicate with you?"

"Just a guess."

Yu Meng also knew this person; it was he who sealed off the first battlefield and caused unrest among the four top families.

But now his first reaction upon seeing the Overlord is to study him? Then his identity seems much easier to guess.

There are only a handful of institutions that do research, so someone with such a large-scale project must be of a very high status.

It's a pity that even in this deserted area, he wrapped himself up very tightly.

"I had already decided to stay one more day and then go back, but I never expected to have such a great harvest today." Old Chen was no longer as calm as before; his voice was full of anticipation.

"Sir, could this be what we're looking for?"

The long-haired man continued working. "Maybe."

"I'll bring over a few bone artists; they're the right ones for aliens."

The long-haired man remained silent. These were things he couldn't stop.

Yu Meng was displeased when she heard his words.

The Overlord suddenly floated into the air, and its long tentacles lashed out at Old Chen.

The Overlord's sudden action caught both the long-haired man and Old Chen off guard. As a result, it actually struck Old Chen.

A muffled groan escaped Old Chen's lips. Before he could react, a second lash came down.

This time, the long-haired man made a move. His lines immediately blocked the Tyrant Tentacles, but he only blocked them without retaliating.

The overlord paused for a moment, then burrowed back into the crack in the ground.

Yu Meng retrieved the Overlord and turned to leave.

After waiting for a long time without the Overlord appearing, the long-haired man sighed softly and walked to Old Chen's side. "Are you alright?"

"good."

"Let someone come and check it out. It's an unknown, and we don't want any hidden dangers."

"Hmm, I was careless. I didn't expect it to fly up and attack."

"Sir, you are very knowledgeable; do you know what this is?"

The long-haired man shook his head. "Never seen it before. But it made my formation dissipate naturally."

Old Chen silently returned to his house. The long-haired man gazed at the grass before him, and as darkness fell, the Overlord never reappeared.

Yu Meng stood on a tree, looking at the houses in the distance. She was wondering whether she should go and bring that cowardly fellow over to ask him some questions.

The Tyrant was wrapped around her hand, its desire to absorb energy was obvious.

In the end, Yu Meng gave up. The long-haired man was no ordinary person; his actions today showed that he wouldn't stand idly by if that person were in danger.

Moreover, he said he wanted to bring in a bone painter, so she should be able to find out his identity by starting with the bone painter.

Before dawn, a commotion broke out.

Yu Meng slowly approached. This person really did have real power; several bone painters had actually been sent over.

Moreover, they didn't have a single complaint on their faces, as if doing things for him was their duty. These people were incredibly respectful and obedient.

Yu Meng secretly took a few photos, then without further hesitation, she withdrew from the front lines.

Arriving at a charming little courtyard, I climbed over the wall without hesitation.

This was the payment from Zhang Zhen's younger brother; she only remembered she had this place to stay when she was about to arrive at the front lines. But it was just right.

After washing up, Yu Meng crawled into bed, sighing inwardly, "Ah, the bed is the best." As for what happened on the first battlefield, that was Ba Wang's fault, and had nothing to do with her.
