Chapter 373: Chapter 372: Insect Killing Competition? Monster Killing Competition!

As Lu Zixun had predicted last night, before even opening his eyes, Lu Zixun heard the sound of raindrops pattering against the ground outside the window.

Getting up and shaking his fur, Lu Zixun pushed open the window and felt a rush of cool air hit his face, yawning, "Autumn is coming."

Ge Changming didn’t wait for Lu Zixun to wake up and had already set out for Zone 12.

Accompanying him was Geng Xiyuan who had just broken through to A-level.

"Lord Xun, someone is looking for you."

The person outside the door pushed it open and stood by it, respectfully speaking.

"Understood, bring them to the reception room, I’ll be right there."

Pulling out a tissue to wipe his mouth, Lu Zixun headed to the reception room.

"Elder Wang?"

Somewhat surprised to see the person drinking tea in the reception room, Lu Zixun hopped onto the chair in front of Wang Duli, "What brings you here?"

"The Insect Clan has been relatively stable lately; I wasn’t too busy so I came to see you."

Smiling, Wang Duli set down his teacup, "How has your time in the Demon Clan been, why not come to Zone 10?"

"It’s been alright, after all, my strength speaks for itself."

Sensing some unexplained distance from Wang Duli, Lu Zixun’s face lost some of its enthusiasm, and he changed the subject, "Is Kang Ning coming to Crimson Land?"

"Not yet."

Wang Duli, with his hands clasped on the table and seemingly thoughtful, spoke, "I heard that last time you went to Zone 11, a young guy offended you, is that true?"

Lu Zixun hadn’t expected Wang Duli’s visit was for this matter.

Raising an eyebrow and rubbing his ear as he stood up, Lu Zixun asked, "Elder Wang, did you come today to bring some charges against someone?"

Seeing Lu Zixun sort of irritable, Wang Duli frowned unhappily and then chuckled wryly, "Why would I? It’s just that one of my little grandnieces is in the team led by that boy."

Understanding Wang Duli’s intention, Lu Zixun, with hardly any warmth left initially, spoke indifferently, "Rest assured, Elder Wang, if I had been upset, nobody would have come to you."

Tang Qinglan, who had just prepared to come in to break the ice for Lu Zixun, felt the tense atmosphere and quietly closed the door again, standing just outside, not daring to enter.

Staring at Lu Zixun for a while, Wang Duli squinted his eyes and sighed, "Da Ju, I feel like you’ve changed a lot lately."

"I am still me; I have never changed."

Smiling slightly, Lu Zixun spoke with a hint, "Maybe it’s the weather, making my mood a bit off lately."

The rain outside continued without stopping.

But Lu Zixun’s mood was starting to become inexplicably agitated.

Having finished his tea, Wang Duli set down the cup, gazed deeply at Lu Zixun, and sighed slowly, "If you won’t come to Zone 10 with me, then don’t. If you ever need anything, you can call me."

Seeing that Lu Zixun only nodded without speaking, Wang Duli shook his head and left.

Turning to look out the window, Lu Zixun pursed his lips and sighed silently to himself.

People who don’t change for a long time really do end up changing a lot.

Before, when connecting through Star Network, Wang Duli’s eager tone couldn’t have been faked.

But after meeting today, Wang Duli’s words made Lu Zixun feel somewhat... melancholic.

"Are you alright?"

Tang Qinglan stepped quietly into the room, sitting opposite Lu Zixun, and asked worriedly.

Having composed all his emotions, Lu Zixun calmly smiled at Tang Qinglan, "I’m fine, it’s just that the future strategic approach needs to be altered."

"Mm."

Seeing that Lu Zixun seemed not to be in the mood for chatting, Tang Qinglan nodded slightly and left the reception room, giving Lu Zixun some time alone.

"This really is uncomfortable."

...

"Brother Xun, I’m back."

The sun was setting, Ge Changming hurried inside, covered in dust.

Lifting his head to look at Ge Changming, Lu Zixun nodded. "You’ve worked hard. Did you find anything?"

"The final gathering place for the insect-killing competition has been set in Zone 12, indeed it goes through Zone 13, but there have been some minor modifications."

After sitting down and draining his cup of water in one gulp, Ge Changming took a breath and continued, "They want to build a supply point inside the enclosure."

Hearing this, Lu Zixun’s eyes narrowed slightly as he fell into contemplation.

Making such a request indicated that this time the insect-killing competition wasn’t just about survival and ability, but directly about capability.

Could the champion have been decided in advance?

If they build a supply point, there’s absolutely no need to go through Zone 13.

Instead, they could directly proceed between Zone 10 and Zone 11 without seeking the Demon Clan’s consent,

Unless...

Recalling that the Insect Clan had also gathered its younger generation, and today, Wang Duli repeatedly asking if he intended to go to Zone 10,

Lu Zixun’s expression suddenly changed.

Unless the Human Clan and Insect Clan, under the guise of the insect-killing competition, intended to make a move against Zone 13.

"Brother Xun, what’s wrong?"

Seeing Lu Zixun’s suddenly gloomy face, Ge Changming looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Contact Liu Wenxi for me. I need some intelligence."

Without answering Ge Changming, Lu Zixun’s gaze grew increasingly deep.

His mind began to race: why had this situation arisen.

Previously, they just left the Demon Clan in Zone 13 alone, and now the alliance of humans and insects...

A sudden realization struck him. The reason the Human Gathering Place was determined to eradicate the Demon Clan stemmed from the appearance of the Demon Country, which threatened Zone 12.

The scattered Demon Clan members across various parts of Zone 13 weren’t a concern.

But a united Demon Clan, compared to a small Insect Tide, was much more menacing.

And Lu Zixun believed the reason the Insect Clan participated was due to the time he had intervened with all his might.

Yue Guangxi probably assumed Lu Zixun was one of the Demon Clan, reasoning that if there was one Lu Zixun, there could be a second.

So how did the humans and the Insect Clan reach a consensus?

A name surfaced in Lu Zixun’s mind—Light and Shadow Association.

"Damn."

Cursing sharply, Lu Zixun turned into his human form and took out a cigarette from his storage talisman to light it.

"Cough, cough, cough."

Seeing Lu Zixun start to cough frantically, Ge Changming came over and patted his back. "Brother Xun, if you can’t smoke, don’t force it. It’s awkward."

With bloodshot eyes, Lu Zixun raised his head and said sternly, "Contact Quan Yifang in the upper part of Zone 13, and also speed up the production of firearms. Don’t consider future development issues for the time being."

"This?"

Hearing Lu Zixun’s stern tone for the first time, Ge Changming hesitated momentarily, then decisively nodded, "Yes!"

The communicator rang, a call from Liu Wenxi.

"Lord Xun, there’s trouble."

On the other end of the phone, Liu Wenxi, looking at the intelligence on his desk, was enormously troubled.

The appearance of the Spiritual Pattern Branch had blocked many people’s avenues for making money.

And according to what Liu Wenxi understood, the real target of the insect-killing competition was indeed Zone 13.

"First tell me, what is the situation in Zone 12 right now?"
