Chapter 1291: Chapter 1200: Reconnaissance Complete

Looking at the sudden surrender message, Da Fei was taken aback!

Surrender? Ever since advancing to Master-level Leadership Skill in the Divine Domain Space back in the day, Da Fei hasn’t dealt with an enemy surrendering for a long time. It truly brings back memories for Da Fei!

That’s right, given the current situation, the opponent is in a desperate spot and has witnessed the tragic deaths of two colleagues. Anyone would feel moved, right? Of course, surrendering is the best option. If it were in the past, Da Fei would have agreed without hesitation. If the opponent were a Female Hero, Da Fei would have been even more inclined to agree without hesitation.

But now Da Fei hesitated. If he killed the opponent and the Inheritance Power dropped, the Blood Eagle could upgrade again, gaining a significant boost in strength. Not to mention Da Fei has just developed the Blood Eagle’s swimming ability and is eager to see the Blood Eagle continue to grow.

Compared to the majestic upgrade of the Blood Eagle, what role would this half-dead hero’s surrender serve? Not to mention being big and ugly. Plus, after surrendering, there’s the risk of this traitor being exterminated by the enemy on the spot.

But—can the Blood Eagle really be certain of killing him?

Thinking of this, Da Fei wavered again. If he can’t be killed, and he escapes when the Blood Eagle surfaces for air, then both ends would fall through, an indescribable frustration.

Moreover, speaking of which, Da Fei has no shortage of heroes who fly and dive underwater but lacks one who goes underground! Really absorbing an underground hero would actually be very useful. Plus, since the opponent can go underground, it might not be so easy to be eradicated after absorbing him, right? Once the opponent fully recovers, it further increases the certainty of the total offensive! 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Alright! There are many opportunities for the Blood Eagle to upgrade, but recruiting an underground hero is a once-in-a-lifetime chance, and missing it might mean it won’t come again, so it’s decided!

——System Prompt: You have accepted the surrender of the Demon Worm Hero Chacham! Chacham becomes your follower hero.

——System Prompt: Your special limited-time side quest "Kill 3 Demon Worm Forwards" has been altered and completed, progress 3/3. Please return to the city to collect your quest reward from the front line garrison general.

——System Prompt: You recruited an Alien Race hero, demonstrating your exceptional diplomatic skills, and received information on God-level Leadership Skill.

...

With the successful recruitment, the BOSS’s red dot instantly turned green, and those giant scorpions, previously undecided, were now all intensely focused on the traitor at the pool as if attracted by a magnet!

Da Fei’s heart skipped a beat; if not for the pool blocking access, he would likely be instantly killed upon surrendering. Da Fei hurriedly checked his attributes, seeing them flashing red all over, much like the near-death Thunder Angel Remy.

——Chacham: A hero of the Magic Beetle clan, captured and imprisoned by the Elf General during the battle at the Ancient Tree Wall Battlefield, Chacham forcefully broke through the shackles by means of hero death and escaped, losing much of his power and temporarily losing his hero status.

Attack: 56, Defense 67, Damage 16-16, Attack Speed 3, Health 637, Mana 246, Stamina 11/500, Special Skills: Underground Stealth, Underground Ambush, Dormant Recovery. (Currently in extreme weakness, with incomplete special skills)

Seeing the current attributes of the BOSS, Da Fei suddenly felt a pang of regret as if he bought a defective product. Who knows how long it will take for him to restore normal combat power? Now, with the Blood Eagle unable to communicate with him and estimating being too tired to talk while bubbling in the water, everything goes unsaid; survival is good enough for now.

As for what comes next, the Blood Eagle must break out of there. Although the Blood Eagle is now lost, finding an exit is actually straightforward.

Sure enough, a roaring sound of insect swarms surged through the tunnel once more, initiating another assault every 10 minutes, waterways flooded with dense attacking self-destructing insect groups, and all the Blood Eagle had to do was follow the current flow.

Then the view suddenly widened; the giant pit exit lay ahead. Finding the exit was that simple!

Gazellinightot the surging black clouds of insects behind the Blood Eagle, Da Fei was discontent with the mere victorious escape. He wanted to test his previous hypothesis, to see if the Petrification Aura, amplified by 40% Earth Element power, could block the tunnel and petrify the entire following insect swarm!

If they can’t be petrified and only slowed down, Da Fei would regret it deeply! If so, accepting the surrender was indeed a mistake!

Petrification Aura, activate!

The next moment, time seemed to stand still, with the fast-moving clouds of the insect swarm freezing abruptly and then plummeting instantly! Success, petrification success!

Witnessing this moment from the airship above the giant pit, Da Fei joyfully laughed out loud! This was exhilarating! Da Fei was already imagining if there might come a day when the Blood Eagle, like the Petrified Giant Lizard encountered in the swamp back then, could instantly petrify large creatures? If that day comes, I might as well have become a god? Haha, Wahaha!

In mere two minutes, the Blood Eagle hovering at the cave’s entrance blocked hordes of insect swarms, easily dismantling the enemy’s unstoppable insect swarm attack with just one Blood Eagle!

At this moment, Da Fei’s feelings were indescribably intense! Just half an hour ago, Da Fei considered mastering the Sound Wave Arrow as the ultimate insect-killing God-level Archery, but now, it turns out, that was lagging, far behind.

In the midst of his thoughts, Da Fei’s friend notification rang again, it was Bloodrose Qiqi: "Brother Fei, the scale of the recent insect swarm attack was quite small, we suspect the enemy is making major adjustments. Just reporting this to you."

Da Fei chuckled, the scale was small because the subsequent swarms were all wiped out by me. However, I must admit, Bloodrose Qiqi is adorable, knowing to report back constantly. Truly potential as Little Honey material.

Da Fei laughed: "Got it, I’ll keep an eye on it."

In any case, now the Blood Eagle is back, take off the two raw materials acquired by the Blood Eagle, and the airship will head back.

Just then, Da Fei’s friend notification rang again, this time it was from Moon God Night: "I’ve settled with two weaklings, are you ready?"

What the heck! Actually recruited two mercenary heroes? But compared to recruiting the Beetle Hero, you’re still somewhat inferior to me.

Da Fei cleared his throat: "Well, just had a little delay with reconnaissance, I’m only starting to prepare now."

Moon God Night retorted sharply: "Why are you so slow? By the way, the sound of the passing insect swarm above has reduced significantly, was that you?"

What the heck, you guessed it. But for the upcoming coordinated support for Chacham at the insect nest, I should give her a heads-up for some mental preparation.

Da Fei smiled gently: "Yes, I deployed a nuclear weapon."

Moon God Night was taken aback: "What nuclear weapon?"

Da Fei chuckled: "A nuclear weapon is a nuclear weapon, used it means it’s used."

Moon God Night exclaimed: "No wonder you’re the world’s top player, your arsenal is truly impressive. Alright, you get ready, there seems to be some activity here at the Demon Camp, I’ll check it out first."

"Got it." (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please read at m.qidian.com.)
