Chapter 1069 - 958: Golden Mountain Du Ba (Part 2)
In the Black Hole World, the division of territories is to prevent demons from engaging in civil wars.The higher-ups of the black hole world have learned a lot of management knowledge from the Human Clan, gaining some experience in territory management.
A moment later, the demon woke up.
He slightly opened his eyes, only to see several Human Warriors of entirely different species around him.
Seeing those Human Warriors, the demon's expression changed greatly, and he was horrified, thinking he had been kidnapped by Human Warriors.
"Friend, don't be afraid. We won't harm you; we just want to know what happened earlier."
Seeing the demon wake up, Duan Gujin immediately stepped forward and sealed the meridians in the demon's body, preventing him from operating any cultivation technique.
The demon had previously been critically injured; even without Duan Gujin's intervention, he wouldn't be able to operate any cultivation technique. Now, with his meridians sealed by Duan Gujin, he appeared very frightened.
"I am a Martial Artist from the Divine World. Don't be impulsive or afraid; I am here to help you. You were just fighting against living creatures from the Otherworld, are you aware of that?"
Duan Gujin quickly calmed the demon's emotions.
"I only knew that those beings were not warriors from the Divine World. The aura they released was very peculiar, unlike anything I've encountered before. I was unable to defeat them, and in the end, I have no idea what kind of skill they used, causing me severe injuries."
The demon recounted everything, still feeling lingering fear.
He hadn't expected that the Otherworldly creatures he fought would ultimately use a terrifying skill, causing severe trauma to his body.
"How did I survive?"
After thinking for a while, the demon concluded the problem probably lay in his armor.
He speculated that he managed to escape the terrifying explosion because his armor shielded him from the powerful explosion force of the Otherworldly creature, thus protecting his internal organs from critical injury.
He promptly checked his body and let out a sigh of relief immediately.
"Thankfully, my internal organs aren't critically injured. I can recover quickly!"
Recalling the fierce battle before, the demon felt his heart still pounding wildly.
"I guess this piece of treasure you have must have protected you!"
Duan Gujin said lightly.
"Oh, yes, yes."
The demon quickly responded, his eyes flickering as he remained uncertain about what this Human Warrior intended to do.
"Rest assured, I am truly not your enemy. I believe very soon, experts from the Divine World will arrive here to negotiate with you, the Black Hole World. We must unite against these powerful beings from the Otherworld, and if you look ahead, you'll see they have already invaded here."
Duan Gujin said lightly.
Hearing Duan Gujin's words, the demon inwardly sneered, immediately understanding the malicious intent behind the statement.
"You want us to cooperate and jointly fight those Otherworldly beings?"
Not foolish, the demon pondered, then asked.
"Yes, we have a common enemy; the enemy of my enemy is my friend!"
Duan Gujin touched his nose, speaking with a guilty conscience.
The demon sneering inwardly, clearly understood that the Black Hole World and the Divine World had always been at odds, and that the Black Hole World had never initiated any invasion against the Divine World. Nonetheless, the Divine World often launched invasions against the Black Hole World.
The fact that the other party was now suggesting cooperation was indeed baffling to him.
The demon thought for a moment, arriving at only one probable conclusion.
"Could it be that this Martial Artist from the Divine World wants to use us, the Black Hole World, as cannon fodder?"
The demon's eyes flickered, feeling that this was likely Duan Gujin's intention.
Although most demons in the Black Hole World are far inferior in intelligence compared to experts from the Divine World, those demons who have cultivated to the Demigod Realm have intelligence levels comparable to those experts.
Any living creature that reaches a high level in cultivation experiences rapid cognitive function.
Ordinary demons in the Black Hole World are indeed far less intelligent than the Martial Artists from the Divine World.
But as long as they reach or surpass the Demigod Realm, their intelligence and strategic insight rival those of Divine World experts.
After several exchanges with the demon, Duan Gujin learned that the demon's name was Golden Mountain Du Ba.
Upon hearing this, he remarked, "Friend, your name is so domineering!"
"Of course. I once captured—uh, I mean, I once made friends with some warriors from the Divine World. From them, I learned there's a kind of dominance called ruling one's domain alone. At that time, I didn't have a name, so I came up with the four words Golden Mountain Du Ba. Golden Mountain is the name of my territory, and Du Ba is my name! These simple four words represent my identity and name. How do you like my name?"
The demon explained.
"Your choice of name is indeed impressive!" Duan Gujin felt a bead of sweat form on his forehead as he immediately began to contemplate how to cooperate with this Golden Mountain Du Ba to extract useful information from him.
His intention for saving the demon was not purely philanthropic.
Besides wanting to learn about the battles between the Black Hole World demons and Otherworldly creatures from Golden Mountain Du Ba, he considered having Golden Mountain Du Ba lead them out of there.
"Can you tell me about the origin of those creatures attacking the Black Hole World?"
Golden Mountain Du Ba didn't fully trust Duan Gujin's words, so he quickly changed the subject, hoping to glean intelligence from Duan Gujin.
After all, he was the Domain Master of his territory and originally believed he could act wilfully on his own turf, only to encounter an enemy today who nearly killed him.
He had no desire to face a similar situation again.
He glanced around, realizing that the sky ahead had completely changed in appearance, suspecting that those so-called Otherworldly creatures were about to attack.
Those Otherworldly creatures were preparing to invade his territory, so naturally, he would fight back.
Next to him, Duan Gujin quickly conveyed all he could to Golden Mountain Du Ba.
After hearing it, Golden Mountain Du Ba furrowed his brow deeply.
Only now did he understand how terrifying those Otherworldly creatures attacking the Black Hole World really were.
Duan Gujin did not tell Golden Mountain Du Ba that the ultimate fate of the Black Hole World would be obliteration by the Otherworldly creatures. However, he did emphasize their terror to Golden Mountain Du Ba.
"You mean those Otherworldly creatures intend to push their boundary to the Black Hole World and then make this their territory?"
"Yes, yes!" Duan Gujin nodded promptly in agreement.
Upon receiving this confirmation, Golden Mountain Du Ba drew a cold breath.
He previously thought those Otherworldly creatures were just like some of the bosses from the Divine World, merely invading here.
In his heart, the plethora of talents in the Divine World were no saints; they frequently ventured into the Black Hole World to hunt these demons for trials.
To the demons of the Black Hole World, such acts by the Divine World's Martial Artists were utterly unacceptable.
But now, after listening to Duan Gujin's explanation, Golden Mountain Du Ba realized those Otherworldly creatures were even more terrifying. Whereas the Divine World fighters merely came to murder some demons for sport, the Otherworldly creatures intended to demolish their entire homeland.
Golden Mountain Du Ba's mind raced as he weighed his gains and losses.
"If I do not cooperate with the Divine World, my homeland will be utterly obliterated by the Otherworldly beings. Losing my domain would leave me with nowhere to go. Not aiding the Divine World would turn me into a homeless dog, something I cannot fathom! By aiding the Divine World, my domain remains mine. But what's the true agenda of those Divine World warriors? Do they genuinely wish to help us, or are they merely employing us as pawns? If the Divine World merely aims to assist us in defeating their adversaries, benefiting all parties, I should concur with an alliance."
Golden Mountain Du Ba contemplated for a while, concluding that even though aiding the Divine World might not yield any immediate benefits, it would at least allow him to preserve his territory.
If he chose not to aid the Divine World, his territory would be lost.
His eyes shimmering momentarily, he resolved to temporarily agree to Duan Gujin's request and observe what plans the Divine World actually had in store.
"Alright, so how should we proceed with cooperation?" asked Golden Mountain Du Ba.
Hearing the other party's agreement, Duan Gujin let out a sigh of relief.
