Chapter 195: Unexpected Gains

The black cat quickly realized that its understanding of betrayers was too shallow.

"The role of a betrayer is not to mindlessly leave the Dreamborn Society. Doing so would only cause a little trouble for the other side and have little impact on the overall situation.

"An impressive betrayer should gradually distance themselves from the Dreamborn Society from within and, at the most critical moment, ruthlessly stab the Dreamborn Society."

The teachings from Cheng Han made it pensive.

"The next script should help the Dreamshaper 'Cai Feng' overcome the crisis of trust and then, taking advantage of the situation, gradually betray the Dreamborn Society.

"The Dreamborn Society is a strong 'dove' while Cai Feng is just a weak 'sparrow.' However, under specific circumstances, the 'sparrow' may not necessarily be unable to take over the foundation created by the 'dove.'

"The reversal of the weak, the rise of the betrayer, and the transformation into a stage for ambition, this is the core storyline of the 'sparrow occupying the dove's nest' script."

The black cat felt it had gained a lot but also felt a bit frustrated.

Its master's few words were an extremely brilliant script, while the one this cat had come up with was a poor script.

This cat is a lousy playwright!

The black cat quickly suppressed its frustration and let out a meow.

It was saying: This cat will help Cai Feng get through this crisis of trust.

Cheng Han immediately responded, "Correct!"

The use of the word "trust" by the black cat indicated that it had fully understood the essence of the problem and come up with a corresponding strategy.

On the other side,

Cai Feng finally made up his mind and directly reported the matter to the inspector, demanding to move to another small spirit realm and start a new life with a new identity.

He took a deep breath and walked towards the inspector.

"Crack!"

A branch suddenly broke and fell right in front of Cai Feng.

Cai Feng was startled and his steps came to a halt.

Was this a warning from the gods or an revelation from fate?

After much thought, he gave up on the idea of reporting.

In the tree,

The black cat retracted its claws and flicked its tail.

Since it was chosen to be the betrayer, it should just act according to the script!

Stop thinking about other things!

Ten minutes later,

Cai Feng entered the dream again.

In the dream, he confessed everything to the Dreamshaper and frankly stated, "I might have attracted someone's attention."

The Dreamshaper remained silent for a long time and coldly said, "In that case, the task of dealing with target number six will be entrusted to you alone."

After saying this, the person immediately waved their right hand.

The dream dissipated.

Cai Feng woke up and sighed.

He knew very well that this task was a test from the Dreamshaper.

If the task failed, the days to come would definitely be extremely difficult. On the other hand, if the task succeeded, it would only be a temporary pass, and there would be many more tests in the future.

In short, it was difficult!

The black cat sensed the other's thoughts and pondered.

So this is what the master meant by "taking advantage of the situation"? Guiding Cai Feng to betray the Dreamborn Society in secret, using the trend of the overall situation. Indeed, the effect is better!

It seems like this cat is starting to understand the art of a playwright!

At the Red Armor Army's base, after a hearty lunch, the troops set off on their way back.

As usual, there was a more convenient way to return—by directly boarding the Spirit Leaf Stem and returning to the Little Spirit Leaf along the giant leaf stalk.

This way, they didn't have to navigate through the complex terrain of the tunnels, and their speed was more than doubled.

Guided by several Red Armor soldiers, the 150 Black Armor soldiers passed through several kilometers of spiral tunnels and officially boarded the Spirit Leaf Stem.

"Woo~ Woo~"

The howling of the fierce wind couldn't be stopped.

Just from the sound alone, one can tell that the wind is powerful and terrifying.

With the help of his newly acquired understanding of the characteristics of wind-based arcane arts, Cheng Han made a slight induction and estimated that the wind speed exceeded an astonishing 60 meters per second.

If there were no obstructions, facing the terrifying gale, one would probably be instantly swept into the endless void.

On the surface of the Spirit Leaf's handle, there are numerous grooves, or rather, bark textures and cracks.

Each one of them is comparable to a canyon.

They are natural wind shelters and also the way back home.

The leading soldier of the Red Armor Army waved friendly and said, "Soldier Cheng, farewell for now."

Cheng Han bid farewell with a salute, "Until we meet again."

Under normal circumstances, the dignified Red Armor Army would definitely not engage in such back and forth greetings.

However, Cheng Han's stunning shot that killed the Ghost Night Owl from a kilometer away had caused a sensation throughout the Red Armor Army's base.

This person greatly admired Cheng Han's marksmanship, which is why he warmly escorted him here.

Soon.

The Tai'an Black Armor Army gradually moved away in neat formation.

The Red Armor Army shook their heads, "I told him that Tai'an Xiaoling Realm won't be peaceful in the next year and asked if he was willing to join the Red Armor Army, but this kid was unmoved."

This person sighed, "He's not even fifteen yet, talent is hard to come by!"

Even a fool can see that Cheng Han's future promotion to a Xuan Shi is a certainty. As long as he is brought over, it is equivalent to recruiting a Xuan Shi.

The more Xuan Shi cultivated by the Red Armor Army's nine divisions, the greater their influence in the Xuan Palace. That's why the team leader is so enthusiastic.

A Red Armor soldier came up with an idea, "Why don't we just send a transfer order directly to Tai'an?"

Another soldier had a different opinion, "Cheng Han is so outstanding, the Tai'an Xuan Pavilion must know about him. They probably won't let him go."

The former soldier sneered, "Even if the Tai'an Xuan Pavilion doesn't agree, it won't be a loss for us."

The team leader thought for a moment and decisively said, "Then let's give it a try."

They wasted no time.

After returning to their base, the team leader went straight to the Colonel and, in the name of the Eighth Division, sent the transfer order through the arcane formation.

Just five minutes later, a reply came.

It was a strongly worded protest, accusing the Red Armor Army of having ill intentions, not properly cultivating talents, and only thinking about undermining others, and demanding punishment for those involved.

The Colonel looked troubled, "The Tai'an Xuan Pavilion has already sent a protest letter to the Xuan Palace. This transfer order has caused a big trouble."

The team leader was extremely embarrassed, "I thought even if the Tai'an Xuan Pavilion disagreed, they would just ignore it. I didn't expect such a strong reaction."

The Colonel sighed, "It seems that the Tai'an Xuan Pavilion values Cheng Han very much. I suspect even the Pavilion Master remembers his name."

The team leader cautiously asked, "Will the headquarters at Mount Chiyang punish me?"

The Colonel sympathetically said, "After all, the Xuan Pavilion is the Xuan Pavilion. Since they have sent a letter, I'm afraid Mount Chiyang will have to give an explanation."

The team leader was extremely regretful.

He had intended to "strike while the iron is hot," but instead of hitting the target, he had caused trouble. It was really unnecessary!

*

Outside the Spirit Leaf's handle.

The darkness gradually receded.

The sky turned a pale white.

This meant that the day and night had reversed and temporarily come to an end.

"Woo~"

Cheng Han listened to the howling wind, looked at the endless sky, and the mountain-like bark textures, and suddenly felt a faint sentiment in his heart.

This incredible scenery couldn't help but make him feel a sense of "it was not in vain to cross over."

"Beep~ Beep~"

Several strange cries suddenly came from afar with the wind.

Just by hearing this sound, everyone's minds were filled with the illusory sound of "woo woo" wind howling.

The soldiers immediately started discussing.

"What is this sound?"

"Why do I sense hostility from it?"

"A sound that can create auditory hallucinations, this must be an extremely powerful supernatural creature."

Cheng Han instantly knew what the other party was—a group of floating behemoths, the Terratitans.

These are strange creatures that have existed since ancient times in this world. They were once tamed by the Sath people as war beasts and resisted the invasion of the Wan Hao people.

They are also an ancient species with a long history, always considering the Wan Hao people as enemies and consistently supporting the three major alien gods.

Cheng Han decisively gave the order, "There is a crack ahead, everyone take cover there."

He didn't think for a moment that if this group of behemoths encountered a group of Wan Hao people on the bark, they would turn a blind eye to it.

For safety reasons, it's best to hide.

Although the warriors were puzzled and confused, they immediately followed the order and rushed into the crack one after another.

The so-called "crack" is a tiny wrinkle on the bark.

The term "tiny" here is only relative to the Divine Banyan Tree.

For humans, the height there exceeds ten meters, and the depth is more than thirty meters. It is an undeniably giant crack.

"Beep~"

The sound of crying became closer.

Cheng Han frowned.

According to his previous deductions, the Terratitans would not usually approach the Divine Banyan Tree, so the behavior of this group of behemoths was obviously abnormal.

What are they planning to do?

Soon.

Cheng Han knew the answer.

"Beep~Beep~"

A series of cries rang out.

It could be distinguished that this seemed to be a continuous roar from a behemoth.

And from the rhythm of the melody, it seemed to be some kind of language of the behemoths.

Curiously, Cheng Han made a deduction and immediately understood the meaning of the behemoths.

They were shouting: You are the enemies of the world! You will never be able to occupy this world!

For some reason.

Cheng Han suddenly recalled the divine battle he glimpsed through the Divine Origin fragment.

In that battle, the three major alien gods sacrificed a divine body, attempting to kill the newly born Divine Banyan Tree.

A human god willingly died, sacrificing himself to resolve the crisis of the Divine Banyan Tree and help humans establish a foothold in this world.

Cheng Han snorted, a coldness revealed in his eyes.

Enemies of the world?

Nonsense!

One day.

I will completely crush the three major alien gods and permanently turn this world into the territory of humans, to comfort the spirit of the senior god.

By the way!

I still need to tame the Terratitan clan and turn you into beasts of burden for transporting goods for humans!

"Beep~Beep~"

The Terratitans kept on calling.

Cheng Han made a rough calculation and found that it was a young behemoth, so he decided to teach it a lesson.

He picked up a short spear and walked quickly to the crack, forcefully throwing it out.

"Woo~"

The sharp whistling sound created by the spear rubbing against the air was fast and slow, slow and fast, sounding extremely strange.

This is precisely simulating the language of the behemoths.

The meaning of this sentence is—we are the masters of the world!

Then came the second spear.

"Woo~"

The meaning of the second sentence is—you will eventually become servants of the Wan Hao people!

The onlookers watched Cheng Han's actions with a bewildered expression on their faces.

"Beep~Beep~"

The roar of the giant beast carried an obvious anger.

The howling winds in the nearby airspace increased in intensity.

Cheng Han immediately waved his hand and issued the command, "Everyone, retreat three hundred meters!"

After saying that, he turned around and ran backwards.

The length of the crack exceeded five kilometers, providing a considerable amount of space to move.

The soldiers had a vague sense of foreboding and all ran along with Cheng Han.

Just over ten seconds passed.

A sudden change occurred.

"Wu!"

A piercing scream, as if tearing through the void, suddenly erupted.

It was accompanied by suffocating fluctuations of source energy.

This was definitely an attack surpassing the level of a Profound Master.

"Boom! Boom!"

Two consecutive loud noises.

The handle of the Spirit Leaf trembled violently.

Some soldiers were caught off guard and almost fell to the ground.

The next moment.

A burst of green light erupted.

Everything was dyed a refreshing emerald green.

The crack was green, the sky was green, and endless green light surged like a tide.

No.

Tide was not enough to describe this scene.

It should be surging like an ocean.

This was the protective mechanism of the Divine Banyan Tree, triggered!

Any attack on the Divine Banyan Tree that exceeded a certain intensity would provoke a counterattack from the tree.

This magical mechanism had guarded humanity for tens of thousands of years.

The reason why the Terratitans dared not approach it normally was precisely because of this.

But this giant beast was still too young, not even two hundred years old. It was only because Cheng Han had provoked it that it made such a reckless move.

"Doo~"

The roar of the giant beast carried a sense of pain.

It was obvious.

It was injured.

"Doo! Doo!"

The roars of the group of giant beasts quickly receded.

They were fleeing.

A few more seconds passed.

The green light that filled the sky finally disappeared.

The protective mechanism was lifted.

Cheng Han was filled with joy.

Because he received a message: "Spirit Control Mystic Seal, First Order, Integrity 68.44%."

From the Divine Banyan Tree's insignificant attack, the All-Knowing Eye analyzed a large amount of valuable knowledge, raising the integrity of the Mystic Seal by 28.24% in one go.

This was a significant improvement!

In addition.

Due to the completion of the Mystic Seal, his spiritual value increased by 3.2 points, reaching a new high of 118.4 points.

Cheng Han couldn't help but smile.

What an unexpected gain!
