Chapter 442: A Traitor Among Us

At this time, it was already midnight.

New intelligence had refreshed once again.

【1. Earth Day has summoned a Clay Army; some of this clay will lie in ambush underground, evolving into landmines, while another portion of the clay transforms into the appearance of mosquitoes, rapidly clinging to opponents and exploding upon contact. Water-type Pet Beasts with the Water Curtain trait can block the Clay Army's explosions.】

【2. Water Day has cultivated countless black jiang in a place of extreme yin. These black jiang are still unfinished semi-finished products; they fear light, fire, lightning, and sticky rice, making them the ultimate cannon fodder among cannon fodder.】

【3. Metal Day is currently cultivating scarabs and banshees. Due to their ability to use Space Blink, they will easily pass through the Scissor Hell Rashomon and rush toward other Rashomon; they also do not fear light-attribute skills.】

【4. Deputy Director Tufang of the Bureau has a deep friendship with the Seven Stars. He has already passed a portion of the intelligence regarding the Rashomon to the Seven Stars, while simultaneously secretly dispatching his own earth elemental giant to dig a large tunnel underground leading to the Bureau Shelter.】

【5. Wood Day is adept at manipulating plants, especially plants like mandrakes. When they emerge from the ground, they emit a sharp, piercing sound, which causes one to fall into a state of coma.】

This round of refreshed intelligence provided Ye Bai with great help.

He needed to find a Pet Beast with the Water Curtain trait; this speed had to be fast, and he also had to see if there was anything among the ghosts that could be utilized.

The Clone of the Sunflower Fairy needed to lie in ambush outside the Rashomon; this way, it could contend with the black jiang army.

As for that traitor Tufang, Ye Bai would have to teach him a good lesson.

Someone like this must be imprisoned in the most sinister dungeon, locked away there for all eternity.

This guy actually dared to collude with the enemy; he did not know that once the ghosts were released, the uncontrolled ghosts would wreak havoc across the entire Yan Country.

At least one-quarter of the national territory would be occupied by ghosts.

Thinking of this, Ye Bai was so angry that his whole body trembled.

However, he quickly calmed down; there was not enough evidence right now, and it was not yet the time to take action against Tufang. Taking action now would only make others feel that he was being ruthless.

Moreover, with the Seven Stars about to attack, it was best to avoid causing too much trouble.

The Bureau had too many problems; taking too large a step would also lead to a stumble.

Now that Ye Bai sat in the commander's seat, every step was important; he had to win over everyone who could be won over and twist their strength into a single rope to make it work.

"Lord Kuimulang, are you still going to the Scissor Hell Rashomon side now?"

Xiaolan picked up the Itinerary and asked Ye Bai.

"No, I want to go see Deputy Director Tufang first."

Ye Bai rubbed his temples and changed the itinerary on the fly.

"Deputy Director Tufang is currently being held in a solitary cell."

"We can squeeze out half an hour of time, and then we must go to the Scissor Hell Rashomon."

"The commander of Scissor Hell will be waiting for you there."

Xiaolan acted directly as Ye Bai's secretary; she would convey Ye Bai's instructions.

"That's fine."

Ye Bai took a bottle of Spirit Potion out of his Storage Ring, pulled out the stopper, and gulped it down.

Immediately, a cool sensation rushed straight to his brain, dispelling a trace of sleepiness.

"Want some?"

Ye Bai took another bottle of Spirit Potion and handed it to Xiaolan.

"No thanks, the Pet Beast I contracted is a Nightmare; it can devour my sleepiness, and I can go without sleep for a week straight."

Xiaolan shook her head, but at this moment, a purple mist emerged from her body.

A Pet Beast with a purple mist for a lower body and a tapir for an upper body appeared.

It opened its squinting eyes and looked at the Spirit Potion with a spirited expression.

Its eyes were filled with longing.

"Do you want it?"

"Then I'll give it to you."

Before Xiaolan could refuse, the Nightmare drank the Spirit Potion in one gulp; afterward, it even let out a loud, satisfied burp.

"Nightmare!!!" Xiaolan stomped her feet, expressing the anger in her heart.

"How could you drink the potion without my permission?"

Ye Bai waved his hand at this moment: "This potion was concocted by me; it's not worth much. Let's hurry up and go."

Inside the guard room, Tufang was wearing Magic Prohibition Shackles and closing his eyes to rest.

The Magic Prohibition Shackles could shield Tufang's Pet Beast Space and simultaneously suppress his power.

The incandescent light made him feel a bit dazzled.

At this moment, the door creaked open, and Ye Bai pushed the door and entered.

"How is it, Tufang? Does it feel good here?"

Ye Bai said coldly.

"Do you think it would feel good here?"

Tufang said with a huff.

"But that is not a reason for you to collude with the enemy."

"Or is it that you were originally a member of the Seven Stars?"

Although Tufang's heart skipped a beat, he did not show it on the surface.

He closed his eyes, looking as if he had fallen asleep.

"Don't pretend to be asleep."

"Where did your earth elemental giant go? Shall I remind you?"

Ye Bai said with a smile; this was like a dagger thrust directly into Tufang's heart.

"How did you know? I released the earth elemental giant; I clearly hid it very well."

Tufang opened his eyes wide, and his expression changed significantly.

At this moment, he was like a long sword unsheathed, and like a fierce tiger descending from the mountain.

"I know quite a lot, for instance, that you told the Seven Stars all the intelligence here."

"I just can't understand one thing: what good does it do you to tell the Seven Stars?"

"Do you know that because you betrayed this intelligence, if the Seven Stars completely occupy the Bureau and release the Anomalies, one-quarter of the entire Yan Country's territory will fall?"

"What kind of heart do you have?"

Tufang still maintained an indifferent appearance.

"Those lowly people, if they die, they die; you don't know about the Seven Stars' Eternal Life Plan."

"As long as they can establish the Earthly Kingdom of God, no matter how many people die, I feel there is no problem."

"Once the gods descend, all the people of the Yan Country will be erased by the gods."

"Therefore, sacrificing the small self to achieve the greater self is the most crucial thing."

"Besides, it is only one-quarter of the Yan Country's territory falling into chaos, not total annihilation."

Tufang's words completely enraged Ye Bai.

"What kind of bullshit are you spouting? Has your conscience been eaten by wild dogs?"

"What kind of ideology did the Seven Stars instill in you to turn you from a diligent old man into this?"

Ye Bai couldn't help but roar, but Tufang remained in an indifferent state.

"Aren't we working so hard just to Guard the citizens of the Yan Country?"

"Since when have the citizens of the Yan Country become like ants that can be despised by you?"

"You speak very lightly, but just, only, one-quarter—do you know how many people will be sacrificed?"

Tufang still wore an expression of a dead pig not fearing boiling water.

"Since that's the case, you don't need to stay in the detention room anymore."

"Sun Flower Fairy, manifest your Clone."

The ground trembled slightly, and immediately after, many emerald green vines covered in thorns emerged from underground.

They took the opportunity to surround Tufang tightly.

The thorns pierced directly into Tufang's body, and Tufang suddenly began to foam at the mouth.

He could feel his whole body trembling violently, and all the nerves in his body were in extreme pain, as if being pricked by needles.

"What did you do to me?"

Tufang endured the intense pain and asked Ye Bai.

"Nothing else, I am just letting a beast live the life he is willing to live."

"Sun Flower Fairy, keep a close watch on this person; he must absolutely not be allowed to escape."

"He is a sinner of the Yan Country and must be brought before the Judgment Court to clarify his crimes."

Ye Bai snorted coldly and turned to leave.

Just at this moment, the ground suddenly began to shake.

Ye Bai rushed out of the detention center with Xiaolan.

The surface of the ground suddenly cracked into a spiderweb pattern, and earthy yellow mud and sand flowed down the cracks with a rustling sound.

Accompanied by a rumbling sound that shook the earth, two earthy yellow rock palms broke through the soil.

Immediately after, a ferocious head emerged from the ground.

It pushed hard with both hands, and the spiderweb-like cracks instantly shattered.

Earthy yellow smoke shot straight up.

The ground shook, and Tufang, who had been pierced by the thorns, had the corners of his mouth lift slightly.

"Haha, did you think I only had one Earth Element Giant?"

"I secretly ambushed two of them long ago; as long as I am imprisoned by the Magic Prohibition Shackles, the Earth Element Giants will act on their own."

"Kuimulang, your reaction speed is not bad, but the one who wins in the end must still be me!"

Tufang laughed loudly, ignoring the pain in his body.

The entire body of the Earth Element Giant broke free from the crust's restraint, and countless rock layers crumbled and fell from its back.

It was composed of earthy yellow rocks and had two eyes like obsidian.

Flowing golden patterns flickered within the black pupils.

The giant leaned down and grabbed a large handful of soil mixed with quartz and fossils; a deep Zhua mark appeared on the ground, and a stone hammer gradually took shape between its fingers.

"Cough cough, this seems to be Tufang's Earth Element Giant."

Xiaolan covered her mouth and nose with her long sleeves and said to Ye Bai.

"I know."

"But don't worry, I have long been prepared."

"Sun Flower Fairy, come out."

The Sun Flower Fairy turned directly into a stream of light and submerged into the ground.

After a short while, the ground trembled again, and a large number of vines emerged from the ground.

Countless golden flowers bloomed one after another, emitting bursts of floral fragrance.

Subsequently, a huge Sun Flower Fairy giant appeared.

"Go, Sunflower Immortal."

Countless vines emerged from the ground.

These vines wrapped around the body of the Earth Element Giant, wrapping the earth-yellow Earth Element Giant into a giant rice dumpling.

The vines squeezed its body tightly, emitting a teeth-aching "Crack! Crack!" sound.

Scissor Hell Rashomon.

This layer of Rashomon is actually not just a simple gate, but is composed of a Secret Realm.

If Qixing wants to pass through here, it is not that easy.

But with the data provided by the mole Tufang, passing through the Scissors Hell seems not that difficult.

The Scissors Hell is filled with various opening and closing scissors, and at the same time, screams can be heard here.

The Scissors Hell is a place for punishing evil ghosts.

And here, naturally, the illusion of the Scissors Hell also emerged.

Quite a few Pet Beast Masters were patrolling.

A Pet Beast Master carrying a giant pair of scissors on her back walked over.

She possessed long, slender black hair and wore wooden clogs on her feet, which made a "clatter-clatter" sound.

The scissors on her back looked extremely sharp, opening and closing, and there was a blood-red eye in the middle position.

She is the guardian of the Scissors Hell, Daonan.

She is also a peak sixth-rank Pet Beast Master.

She was originally just an ordinary Pet Beast Master, but by chance, she gained the recognition of the Hell Scissors, allowing her the opportunity to manipulate the Scissor Hell Rashomon.

"Daonan, you said the Bureau Chief and the three Deputy Bureau Chiefs were all captured; we shouldn't be implicated, right?"

A fellow Pet Beast Master on the side whispered to Daonan.

"I don't know, let's just do our own jobs and not think too much."

Daonan covered her nose; she somewhat disliked the smell in the air.

Come to think of it, the smell in the Scissors Hell is not pleasant, and everyone who comes to guard it covers their noses tightly.

A cold wind carrying the fishy smell of rust poured into the nasal cavity; the craggy rock walls were stained with dark red blood, and thousands of sharp scissors grew out from the rock walls.

The silver-white blades opened and closed, emitting a metallic scraping "click" sound, as if countless teeth were chewing in the darkness, making one's hair stand on end and feel terrified.
