Chapter 1206 - 1202:

The tentacles did not attack the Ginsengfruit immediately; instead, they seemed to be in a standoff, as if weighing whether to strike.

Because of the confrontation between the Ginsengfruit and the tentacles, the previously unnerving aura was concentrated between the two.

The other frightened people had a brief moment to catch their breath.

Some timid people truly didn’t dare to watch any longer, fearing they would become cannon fodder.

They could only leave in small groups, trembling as they went.

Their appearance and demeanor were inferior to those of seventy- or eighty-year-olds, yet they were purely terrified.

Most of the onlookers had left, and those who remained, though fearful, were primarily driven by overwhelming ambition.

In this world, many people dare to seek wealth in risk; they might not gain anything from today’s conflict.

However, if they left and others gained from it, it would be more painful than being killed.

In short, even if the sky were falling, they should see what was causing it.

The tentacles kept shaking, although not intensely, showing their flexibility and hardness.

Facing such a troublesome entity isn’t something everyone can handle.

Dark Night’s group quickly steadied themselves, gazing at the nearly collapsed ground ahead with grim expressions.

His gaze was cold as he looked at the tentacles that destroyed Moonlight City’s ground, with a fury hidden in his eyes that ordinary people couldn’t understand.

"Are you sure you still don’t want to come with me?"

This time, the Ginsengfruit clearly heard a hint of impatience in Dark Night’s voice.

This demeanor had a feeling of a frustrated worker barely staying alive.

The Ginsengfruit chuckled: "Why would I go with you? I am here to participate in the selection, not someone insignificant."

After her previous display of wealth, everyone who knew Yun Ran knew that her sect was extraordinary.

Someone with a background, treasures, and skills couldn’t tolerate such disrespect.

Dark Night took out a token, and the previously rampant tentacles seemingly found their nemesis.

They completely stopped moving erratically, standing straight like a pillar.

Ginsengfruit: ...

It seemed the tentacles were indeed artificially reared.

The Ginsengfruit immediately understood this, but the high-level members of Moonlight City, witnessing this, felt their faces being slapped hard.

They never knew about such things existing underground for so many years.

If they were always that dangerous, it would be one thing, but now, someone could control these tentacles.

What broke them most was that the person controlling the tentacles was someone they never knew existed...

It felt like a never-ending cascade of surprises!

"City Lord, that Dark Night seems out of the ordinary. Could Moonlight City really have unknown assets from the past?"

It’s no surprise; those long with higher-ups have a flair for words.

Clearly, no one knew about Dark Night or the underground state of Moonlight City.

For the City Lord, this was like having his reputation blatantly trampled on.

But, after that person’s remarks, it turned a face-slapping event into a testament to the leader’s wisdom and capability.

Things deemed secret as trump cards aren’t known to most, which is reasonable.

The City Lord’s expression improved.

Though he had doubts about Dark Night’s identity, it didn’t matter; he knew they were part of Moonlight City’s faction.

As the City Lord, he naturally had ways to make everyone believe Dark Night was his secret weapon; if asked, it was confidential!

Dark Night spoke again: "You angered it; you’re not its match. Now, only the token in my hand can temporarily calm it. If you wish to live, come with us!"

As for where they wanted to take Ginsengfruit with Yun Ran’s face, nobody knew.

Anyone else at such a dangerous juncture would likely compromise for their life.

But Ginsengfruit only sneered: "Ridiculous. No one can threaten me!"

His body, being a puppet generated from system data, couldn’t die like flesh and blood.

With enough materials, he could completely resurrect infinitely as if wearing resurrection armor.

Using the threat of death on him was utterly ineffective.

Suddenly, Ginsengfruit’s gaze turned sharp and fierce.

He couldn’t care less whether the tentacle emerged because of his triggering the defensive arrays with Little Paperman.

Dream on if you think he’ll be subdued because of it.

Ginsengfruit clasped his hands together, with an unprecedented seriousness on his face: "Let me see if your tentacles are really that impressive!"

As the Ginsengfruit’s voice fell, a surge of sizzling Heavenly Thunder aura appeared from his hands.

Ha! Did the host think tempering his body with Heavenly Thunder was just for fortification?

His body could also store a part of Heavenly Thunder, okay.

"Taste the Heavenly Thunder!"

In the shocked eyes of the crowd, a Heavenly Thunder Flower Ball the size of a basin was thrown at the tentacles.

A loud "bang" echoed.

Everyone felt a white flash before their eyes and a moment of blindness.

Their ears, due to the thunderous crash, suffered severe ringing.

After a while, as their vision and hearing returned, those who stayed nearby finally saw the current state.

The previously clean and tidy street was now a mess.

Even the shops along the street suffered sever impacts, thanks to their sturdy foundations.

Otherwise, all the shops might have collapsed.

Those who hid inside the houses were now crying out from being hit by falling window frames, signs, and roof tiles.

The tentacles, initially imposing, now emitted a charred smell.
