Chapter 1712: Chapter 62: Only Master Is Honestly Acting as a Rebel

A six-armed ape monkey guard suddenly came back to his senses—under Longgang’s gaze, this six-armed ape monkey’s eyes gradually turned dazed… its pupils were suddenly covered with a ring of pale green light.

Unexpectedly, this six-armed ape monkey directly activated the weapon in its hand, which was similar to a cannon!

Several beams of light shot out instantly, piercing through the heads of the other guard apes above the iron net of the dungeon—they died in their sleep without even a trace of pain.

Afterwards, this six-armed ape monkey even took out a key and opened the iron net of the dungeon.

Everyone managed to escape, scrambling out… Longgang at this moment came to the controlled six-armed ape monkey, sat down, and continued to stare into its eyes, with a layer of fine sweat gradually seeping from Longgang’s forehead.

This is probably the special ability Master Karen mentioned that Longgang possesses.

At this moment, several underwater city warriors under Lady Kaia’s command looked at Longgang with some fear… but Lady Kaia whispered, “Longgang’s mental control has no effect on the residents of the underwater city. We are immune to his mental control.”

Although they wanted to ask Lady Kaia why she knew this—at this moment, they were more relieved.

This kind of special ability, as long as it can’t affect the people of the underwater city, obviously isn’t very dangerous… As for the ability to control deep-sea fish and the like, no matter how many fish exist in a region, even if they are all gathered, it is still not enough to withstand the magical energy cannons of the underwater city’s fleet.

After a while, Longgang returned somewhat fatigued.

“Basically understood the situation here,” Longgang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to the crowd who had come forward, “The Master’s speculation was correct. Aside from the Kingdom of the Giant Rock, there is also a Forest Kingdom here. The Kingdom of the Giant Rock has six-armed ape monkeys, while the Forest Kingdom has a kind of mutated monkey characterized by having two tails. The two sides are in an adversarial relationship.”

“What about the way to leave?” Master Karen asked anxiously.

Longgang shook his head and said, “I don’t know. This six-armed ape doesn’t know how to leave the Kingdom of the Giant Rock. It has been here since birth and has never left. However, based on what this six-armed ape knows, the territory occupied by the Kingdom of the Giant Rock is very small. Aside from the Forest Kingdom, there are many terrifying beasts around this area. These two kingdoms, besides fighting each other, spend most of their time resisting the strange beasts surrounding them.”

“This doesn’t improve our current situation much,” Lady Kaia shook her head.

Longgang provided a reassuring expression, “This six-armed ape is just a low-level soldier who knows limited things. The General Batulu you mentioned obviously knows more since he has tools at his disposal that can communicate with you.”

“Do you plan to find this General Batulu?” Master Karen was a bit stunned.

Longgang nodded and said, “According to this guy, General Batulu’s favorite thing to do is to indulge in female apes. The general aims to have a thousand offspring, so besides fighting and eating, most of his time is spent in this pursuit… It should be the best opportunity for us to find him now.”

Everyone looked at each other, indeed stunned by General Batulu’s grand ambition.

“How many offspring has he had so far?” An underwater city warrior couldn’t help but ask instinctively… In the underwater city, he wasn’t yet married and didn’t even have a girlfriend, so he was quite curious about this.

“I didn’t ask in detail… is it important?” Longgang looked puzzled at this rather young fellow, and then continued, “Right, brother, you look unfamiliar. When did you join Destiny? Why haven’t I seen you before?”

“He joined recently,” Master Karen said calmly at this moment. “After you were captured. We lost quite a few people during the last operation, so we brought in some new ones. Since they are new recruits, they look unfamiliar, so we especially let them join this rescue mission for you.”

“I see.” Longgang nodded, then took a deep bow in front of the underwater city warriors, sincerely saying, “I will never forget the life-saving grace! Brothers, for me, you have put yourselves in such danger! Don’t worry, even if it costs my life, I will make sure to get you out of here!”

“No, no need to thank us,” the underwater city warrior couldn’t help but be startled by the attitude of this high-profile criminal at the moment.

Wasn’t the Destiny Organization’s Longgang said to be extremely cruel and violent? Instead, he seemed like the kindhearted and righteous type.

“Alright, enough talking about this, now quickly figure out the situation here,” Lady Kaia waved her hand at this moment and said, “You should strip these six-armed apes of their equipment, we can’t go deeper into here unarmed.”

“Kaia, come over, I have a few things to say to you,” Longgang suddenly gestured to Lady Kaia.

Master Karen couldn’t help but slightly change his expression at this moment… Lady Kaia walked over expressionlessly and quickly went to a corner with Longgang.

“What’s the matter?” Lady Kaia asked calmly.

“Thank you for your hard work, Kaia,” Longgang sighed at this moment and said, “I didn’t want you involved in this matter… I didn’t expect you would risk mixing into this rescue team to save me. I’m afraid your identity is already exposed, you won’t be able to stay in the underwater city’s army anymore.”

Lady Kaia shook her head and said, “I was very careful this time; they may not have discovered me.”

Longgang placed his hands on Lady Kaia’s shoulders and said, “No, you have definitely been discovered. I clashed with Liuge this time… I realized we have always underestimated her. She is indeed the most outstanding female Tsar emperor of the Sea Demon Royal Court… I’m afraid her surveillance of the Destiny Organization far exceeds our imagination.”

Silver Moon Witch—is she the female Tsar emperor of the Sea Demon Royal Court?

This wasn’t something that existed in Lady Kaia’s memory… but as a spy, Lady Kaia instantly reminded herself not to show any surprise—was Longgang’s conversation with herself also within Master Karen’s expectations?

But why did Longgang avoid the Master and tell herself this—doesn’t Master Karen know Liuge’s identity?

“What are your thoughts?” Lady Kaia could only whisper.

Longgang thought for a moment and said, “The Kingdom Government isn’t something the current Destiny Organization can oppose… Our plan to disrupt the Kingdom Government from within is ultimately unfeasible. If possible, I hope you can accompany me back to the Sea Demon Royal Court… This time Louis XXXIX unexpectedly proposed me as an exchange, although I don’t know what he wants to exchange for, I’m afraid he has already discovered your and my identity.”

Lady Kaia remained silent.

Longgang said seriously, “My identity being exposed isn’t a problem, but your true identity should still be unknown to the Kingdom Government… No one could possibly guess that you, like me, belong to the royal family of the Sea Demon Royal Court! Also, Reya, she is your child, who equally carries the bloodline of the Sea Demon Royal Court, he should return to the Sea Demon Royal Court to receive what belongs to him.”

“Let’s discuss this matter further once we’re out of danger,” Lady Kaia took a deep breath and said slowly, but inside her heart, waves were raging.

Could it be that Longgang is exerting mental influence on her?

She couldn’t be sure of these things… but simultaneously, her loyalty to the Undersea City was remarkably clear in her mind—how could she be related to Longgang, be born from the Siren Royal Court, even part of the Royal Family?

She had a complete memory; she was born in the Undersea City’s welfare institution, her parents perished in the war against the Sea Demon Clan, always raised by the Kingdom Government, and vowed to become a soldier after growing up. Many years ago, she was assigned by the government to infiltrate the Destiny Organization as a spy.

“Yes, indeed it is more appropriate to discuss this after escaping safely,” Longgang nodded, “But don’t worry, originally after rescuing Joash this time, I planned to send you all back to the Siren Royal Court… I have already made arrangements there; my father has agreed to my request and is willing to meet Lei Yaz, this child.”

Lady Kaia constantly felt she was unable to follow Longgang’s topic, but at this moment, several subordinates had already confiscated the equipment, creating an opportunity for her.

She lowered her voice, saying: “Now is not the time to talk about these things.”

Longgang nodded but finally said: “Kaia, this may be the place spoken of in the ancient legend of the Royal Court… we might discover something here. If there truly is any discovery, it could considerably increase my capital when I return to the Siren Royal Court and assume control. But remember, everything must prioritize your safety… if anything happens, come to me immediately.”

Lady Kaia promptly nodded.

The place mentioned in the legend… what place?

Lady Kaia only felt a slight prickling sensation on her cerebral cortex, quite uncomfortable, though her expression remained normal.

Her memory seemed to be divided into two parts at the moment… one was clear and traceable; every detail could be recalled clearly: it was her memory growing up in the Undersea City from childhood.

The other part seemed shrouded in a dense fog, impossible to see clearly.

…

Soon, everyone changed into the equipment stripped from the Six-Armed Apes and, under the lead of the Six-Armed Ape controlled by Longgang, smoothly left the dungeon!

They were not far from General Batulu’s location—the place where this dungeon was situated, originally belonged to this General Batulu.

“This place looks like some sort of facility,” Master Karen scrutinized the arrangement along the way, “How do these beasts possess such technology?”

Longgang replied: “This was not built by them… similar places exist in many parts of this peculiar land. They merely occupied this spot and treated it as their territory.”

“Not built by these beasts?” Master Karen said in astonishment, “That implies this place should harbor intelligent beings, with a highly developed civilization, right?”

“No,” Longgang shook his head, “At least, within this fellow’s cognition, there seems to be none.”

“There are really few guards here,” an Undersea City Warrior frowned and said.

Longgang turned around and said: “This General Batulu’s idea is fairly pragmatic. It believes the more subordinates it has, the stronger its power will be. So besides wanting to birth a thousand offspring itself, it also orders the male apes within its territory to increase reproduction… hence usually, when nothing happens, this place is mostly engaged in mating…”

“This indeed compares to the Sea Demon Clan,” the Undersea City Warrior couldn’t help commenting with derision, “Beasts remain beasts.”

At this point, Longgang responded indifferently: “The reproduction of the Sea Demon Clan is merely for better survival. You residing in the Undersea City, with its protection, naturally have no way to understand how many dangers the Sea Demon Clan faces in the deep sea during survival.”

The Warrior was about to retort but halted after Lady Kaia shot him a warning glare, then lowered his head.

“Alright, let’s not discuss these now,” Longgang shook his head, “We’ve arrived at General Batulu’s room.”

Simultaneously, a faint, disagreeable sound quietly emerged.

Longgang let the Six-Armed Ape he controlled enter first, followed by himself, instructing everyone else to remain outside—three minutes later, Longgang had already dragged out a General Batulu, whose physique was larger than usual Six-Armed Apes.

The General’s six arms had five broken, the remaining one was clasped by Longgang…

Throwing the General onto the ground directly, “Let’s just ask him, this guy has a collar enabling communication with us.”

Saying this, Longgang immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, seeming at rest.

At this moment, General Batulu’s face bore inescapable fear… not knowing exactly what it experienced, just knowing those vast eyes were tightly shut with a dying expression.

“Alright, if you don’t wish to die, starting from now, answer whatever we ask honestly,” Master Karen said in a stern tone, “Understand?”

“Shepherd… Shepherd!” Unexpectedly, this General Batulu pointed at Longgang with terror, the fear on its face even surpassed the pain, trembling: “You are Shepherd… Shepherd!!”

“Shepherd? What do you mean?” Master Karen looked at Longgang in confusion.

Longgang shook his head: “No idea, it’s been calling me that… Hmm, what is ‘Shepherd’?”

Perhaps due to excessive fear, General Batulu trembled, “You have returned… returned! Ancestors said you had left, would no longer enslave us! You… no!! You cannot return!!”

Saying this, without delay, the General Batulu, with only one remaining arm, suddenly lunged forward but swiftly fell as Lady Kaia fired a shot, piercing its knee.

The Monkey General instantly cried out in agony.

Yet it continued to scream: “Go away! Go away!! This belongs to us! Go away!!”
