Monster Master: Evidence of the Way

Chapter 126 Breaking the pot

"What a bad taste."

Yi Yin could imagine that if the poisonous insects invaded in large numbers, the defense facilities of the Dragon Palace alone would not be able to defend against them.

Xuanwu frowned slightly, as if he remembered something.

"(You said you had seen Gu worms before. How did you escape then?)"

Yiyin sighed, not knowing how Xuanwu would react when she learned of Mr. Brownson's death, but since she asked, she might as well tell her.

……

Xuanwu listened quietly to their legendary experiences in the saltwater zone, his big face still expressionless.

"(Yiyin, you may not know this. Mr. Brownson possesses extraordinary skills and would never die in vain. I think he must have deliberately sent you away so that he could find the poisonous insect to maintain Boquan's vital signs.)"

Resurrection of the dead?

Yi Yin couldn't help but think of Huang Quan. If Bo Quan was really resurrected because of this, no one could say what kind of twisted form he would become.

But if that's the case, we have to be on guard. Who knows when Boquan will recover?

"(Of course. This is just my guess. After all, even if he obtained the Gu, he wouldn't be able to do it without the help of the legendary Scarlet Sage, one of the Ten Shadow Kings. Even if he could keep Boquan alive, he wouldn't have any sense of self. He'd just be 'alive.')"

After saying this, Xuanwu fell silent.

Yi Yin knew that Bo Quan, Xuan Wu's personal bodyguard since childhood, would definitely prioritize protecting Xuan Wu. If Bo Quan really came back to life, how would Xuan Wu face him?

But compared to this...it's better to solve the current dilemma first.

No one said anything until some time later, when Prime Minister Turtle came to invite them to the banquet, and then they got up and went to the dinner.

.

Compared with the last dinner, this one was far inferior in both scale and number of people.

Apart from a few people from the tail-end team, the only people present were Alfonso, Herala, Prime Minister Turtle, and Grand Tutor Uncle Nurman.

Herara sat next to Alfonso. It was unknown what Alfonso said to her, as she kept her head down and said nothing.

"Everyone, I won't beat around the bush and will get straight to the point."

Alfonso seemed to have been preparing for this for a long time and was waiting to give his speech at this moment.

"As you can see, an inexplicable insect plague has swept through the Dragon Palace. Coupled with the upcoming hibernation day, in order to allow everyone to survive this crisis, I have decided to land in the Dragon Palace again."

"But, doesn't the Flame Dragon Soul still need a long time to recharge? How can we make the Dragon Palace descend?"

Bubulu raised his hand and asked a question.

Alfonso smiled and said, "Indeed, it's too late to wait for the Flame Dragon Soul to fully recharge. So I decided to release all the remaining energy of the Flame Dragon Soul in one go. This way, the Dragon Palace will still fall to the ground. However, the Flame Dragon Soul will be completely destroyed and can no longer be used."

"More importantly,"

Uncle Nurman added, "This is irreversible. That is to say, once we land on the ground, there is no coming back."

Never come back?

When I think about how the mermaids and mermen resisted the earth before, would they be willing to stay if they were really asked not to come back?

This thought came to everyone's mind at the same time.

As if he had noticed everyone's doubts, Alfonso patiently explained:

"I admit, I was too reckless last time. But this time I'm fully prepared. Although a small number of people still have serious resistance, we can't care about that now. Many years ago, our ichthyosaur ancestor, the first ichthyosaur princess, made a huge sacrifice to protect her people. I want to continue this tradition."

"Besides, I have also given this matter careful consideration. Before I traveled to Earth, I visited a country called Taras and made friends with the king there..."

Hearing this, Jiaozi couldn't help but scream.

"What? You've met my eldest brother?"

Alfonso was also surprised. "So you are Chang'an's brother! He has been talking about you to me before. I didn't expect..."

"Hmph, you want to move everyone to Taras? Putting aside everyone's opinions, would Chang'an agree? This isn't a decision you can make on the spur of the moment."

Having grown up in the Leighton family, Diqi knew exactly what the patriarch of the family had to consider. Although he had never met Chang'an, since he had a relationship with Alfonso, he was definitely not a tyrant.

"Also, if the Dragon Palace were truly destroyed, and you lost your long-held home, wouldn't you feel sad?" Selina said with deep emotion. If Shadow King Village and her unreliable father disappeared, she would surely shed tears.

"As the saying goes, there is no construction without destruction. If you want a chance to survive, you have to make sacrifices."

Alfonso sighed, "I know, and I don't want to abandon the Dragon Palace. But I really have no choice. Now that everyone here has agreed to this decision, I am ready to implement it."

What? Even Hera...

Did Alfonso just explain the pros and cons of the whole thing to Herara alone?

Only then did Herara raise her head and smile at everyone.

"Actually, I wasn't very willing to do this either, but I still support my brother's decision. I just saw Kiki. I understand her because she gained courage from me. Courage isn't about not feeling fear, but about being able to face it even when you're afraid."

"It's normal for people to be afraid and worried. But we must not let this stop us from moving forward, otherwise past tragedies will be repeated time and time again."

I didn't expect Herala to be so sensible. It seems that she has gained a lot at the Cross Base.

"Then why did His Highness Alfonso tell us this?"

Yi Yin said calmly, "If you've truly made up your mind, then just go ahead and do it. Why bother informing us?"

"That's exactly what I was saying, because the next plan requires your assistance."

Alfonso paused, as if brewing some emotions:

"Prime Minister Turtle may have told you before that it was Na Wei who caused the current situation in the Dragon Palace. But besides him, there is another accomplice, the slave beside him - Qinglong."

Hearing this, Xuanwu was about to explode, but was quietly suppressed by Yiyin.

Even though Yiyin didn't say much, Xuanwu still understood that this Qinglong was not that Qinglong based on the inexplicable tacit understanding between them.

Not paying much attention to Xuanwu, Alfonso continued:

"After Qinglong was cured, he somehow managed to escape from the prison and help Na Wei escape, releasing a large number of poisonous insects. Fortunately, our brave soldiers quickly recaptured the perpetrators, but the insect infestation was not so easily quelled. To this end, we built a city wall to temporarily avoid the spotlight, but it also became a breeding ground for our own anxieties."

"Admittedly, the existence of the wall gives us a chance to breathe, but at this point, it only makes people dependent on it and unwilling to go to the ground. The wall must be broken down."

Everyone looked at each other, wondering what kind of medicine Alfonso was selling in his gourd.

"To put it simply, my brother wants us to act out a play with him."

Helala explained, "Now Qinglong and Nawei have been imprisoned again. But what if they 'accidentally' escape and destroy the city wall?"

"Oh my god, you don't want us to lose to them on purpose, do you?"

Jiaozi smacked his lips and said, "This is such a disgrace to our beautiful image. Besides, they don't have the power to destroy the Dragon Palace, do they?"

"The girl named Qinglong has a ferocious beast named Qiuchi sealed inside her body. All we need to do is let it come out."

As things have developed to this point, Prime Minister Turtle has no choice but to change his conservative ideas.

"I, Old Turtle, have served many generations of ichthyosaur princesses and know very well what the inhabitants of the Dragon Palace are like. If we don't completely extinguish the flames of their hope, they will not accept His Majesty Alfonso's advice."

"This is too dangerous!"

Selina was the first to object, "If the situation gets out of control, not only will the Dragon Palace be destroyed, but the already small number of residents will also suffer misfortune!"

"In order to avoid that situation,"

Helala said, "I'll be the final insurance. I'll cover it."
