Professor Baird is acting strangely today…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ben glanced at him, recognizing him as Professor Baird’s student, Jin Bao, and replied offhandedly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, this level of enthusiasm is unusual.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not enthusiasm… it’s too calm!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Bao shook his head. Ben froze, turned to look at Professor Baird, and asked in surprise: “That’s calm?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Bao whispered: “From what I know of him, even if his life were in danger, faced with such rare monkeys, he’d charge in alone to try capturing them—even if it cost him his life…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ben exclaimed: “This old man is that brave?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Bao paused, then added: “Not just him—our own reactions are too calm too. Look, since when have all of us, including you and me, adopted this exact posture…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“… ”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ben froze, scanning the cave. Only then did he realize—everyone, including himself, was resting in the same position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staring at his own body, seated cross-legged with palms upturned toward heaven, he felt his scalp prickle with cold dread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But immediately, that chill was dispelled by warmth spreading from his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if his body was telling him: Maintain this posture—it’s beneficial for you!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, Ben was convinced by his own body. He stopped questioning the strangeness and began to savor the sensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, behind a crack in the cave wall, six people silently observed the foreign meditators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“According to Jin Feng, the Qi Field affects outsiders less. So these foreigners sitting with palms upturned—should all be ordinary people affected by it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Liuqing scanned the three unaffected individuals and murmured: “Only three outsiders…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Granny Jin Feng shook her head: “Definitely more than three. Three outsiders couldn’t have protected them through the monkey horde.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Liuqing declared: “Then someone’s covering their rear!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Chulan crouched behind the group, frowning as he watched the people inside the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been a long time since Granny Jin Feng was kidnapped. If they’d truly gotten clues from her, they should’ve already taken the Wugen Sheng’s hidden items by now!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Running into this group now is too coincidental—it’s as if they’re waiting for us…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Zhang Chulan pondered, Xia Liuqing suddenly turned to him and Wang Zhenqiu, frowning: “You two troublemakers, normally full of schemes—why are you silent now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“… ”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Chulan snapped back to awareness, realizing Wang Zhenqiu was also unusually quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be… he suspects something too?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two exchanged glances, then deliberately looked away, neither voicing their suspicions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Guessing here won’t help…” Baron stood up, glancing at the others. “If someone’s covering their rear, now’s when they’re most vulnerable!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“… ”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group exchanged glances, quickly reaching consensus: seize a captive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Concealing their aura and knocking someone out—this was naturally Bao’er’s specialty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Chulan whispered a few instructions. Feng Baobao nodded, then immediately moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after, she dragged a stranger back into the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No wonder Bao’er—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Chulan’s voice cut off abruptly. His foot halted mid-step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just him—Wang Zhenqiu, Baron, everyone—stared at Feng Baobao in stunned silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bao’er-jie… what are you doing…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Chulan spoke with grave seriousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Baobao blinked, matter-of-factly: “I’m capturing a captive!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“… ”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone stared at the figure behind Feng Baobao, falling into silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Granny Jin Feng, confused, frowned and asked: “What’s wrong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Granny, you didn’t carefully observe the people inside the cave, did you…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Zhenqiu adjusted his glasses, staring coldly at the ‘captive’: “This guy isn’t one of them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Granny Jin Feng froze, turned her head—and saw, behind Feng Baobao, a handsome young man in a white T-shirt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His arms were bound behind him with rope, his mouth sealed with tape, but his dark eyes were slightly curved—as if smiling at them…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shhh—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a rush of air, Baron appeared before the young man, a short knife pressed to his throat. “Speak! Who are you?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“… ”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man blinked, moved his taped mouth, and gave a helpless expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baron frowned, glanced back at Wang Zhenqiu and Xia Liuqing. They stepped forward immediately, taking positions to surround the unexpected intruder from three sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seizing the moment, Zhang Chulan quickly called Feng Baobao back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once everyone was in place, Baron carefully reached out and peeled off the tape from the young man’s mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Phew~ Finally, I can speak!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The handsome young man exhaled, then glared at Feng Baobao: “Girl, next time you bind someone, use better tape. This plastic stench is too strong—it reeks of cheap junk!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Baobao shook her head: “Better tape costs way more.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man sneered: “So what? Can’t you just bill the victim for the extra cost?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man smirked and said, “So what? Can’t you just charge the extra money to the victim?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Baobao’s eyes lit up, as if convinced by his logic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Chulan’s face darkened. He whispered: “Bao’er-jie, where did you pick up this guy?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Right inside the cave!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Baobao pointed at the smiling young man: “I was going for that black-skinned kid, but before I could act, he spotted me…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused, then added: “He said he knew the info we wanted, and he was super cooperative. When he saw me with the rope, he just turned his hands behind his back—no resistance at all!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, she paused, then added hastily, “He said he knew the information we wanted too, and he cooperated perfectly—when he saw me holding the rope, he voluntarily put his hands behind his back, not resisting at all!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Zhenqiu’s lip twitched. He couldn’t help saying: “So cooperative? Doesn’t that strike you as odd?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Chulan added: “And even if he’s cooperative, for safety, you should’ve knocked him out first before bringing him back!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Baobao shrugged: “I tried. But his skull’s too hard—he just won’t pass out~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Baobao spread her hands and said, “I tried, but his skull’s as hard as rock—couldn’t knock him out at all~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Chulan’s pupils shrank. He whirled to stare at the young man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man smiled, revealing a row of white teeth: “I can confirm—this little girl hit me three times with a shovel. Each strike was perfectly aimed at my forehead, just the right force.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man smiled faintly, revealing a row of white teeth: “I testify that this little girl hit me three times with a shovel—each blow was perfectly calibrated, right on the forehead, with excellent control~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Baobao gave a thumbs-up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Chulan quickly stepped in front of her, his expression grave as he stared at the young man:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother, lay it out— who are you?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1227,"2026-06-20T00:29:28.871Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","68ff7e78d0e01da48fbba1a4650888956188589c6e8a5ca39c5b29637d57f82c","the-dimensional-demon-god-s-chat-group-chapter-65","the-dimensional-demon-god-s-chat-group-chapter-63",206,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-dimensional-demon-god-s-chat-group-cover.jpg"]
