Xu Xiaoyan said with disgust, "So disgusting! Just looking at it gives me the creeps!"
Xu Lizhi's face was filled with fear, "Wait, the stuff in Xie Xie's pot is those foul-smelling white worms, then won't everyone else's be the same?"
He liked to eat, but normal food, he had no appetite for this kind of thing!
Ye Xinglan looked terribly pale and said, "Maybe... maybe if this is what's supposed to be an appetizer."
Yue Zhengyu wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, "I suddenly feel that the Nightmare Old Demon isn't so twisted after all; what this Swallowing Demon prepared is not fit for human consumption!"
The Swallowing Demon, having heard these words, his eyes instantly turned icy...
"Not fit for human consumption? How dare you comment on the food I so carefully prepared for you like this!"
His only interest was eating, and he had eaten whatever kind of food there was, including what was in the pot right now, but now these little ones slandered it like this, which was inevitably infuriating!
He paused for a bit and continued, "Each of you must choose one of the foods in the pot and eat it. If you can't finish it, then let me feed you personally!!!"
Yuanen Yehui's beautiful eyes seemed to have thought of something, she sternly said, "Swallowing Demon, we can't eat this unless you demonstrate it for us yourself!"
These disgusting things must be something even the Swallowing Demon can't stomach preparing to eat!
Perhaps it's simply used to embarrass them!
The Swallowing Demon sneered when he heard it, "Demonstrate? Heh... you must not think I haven't eaten this stuff before."
After saying that, he walked over to Xie Xie, reached into the pot, and took out a wriggling white worm...
Then, without hesitation, the Swallowing Demon put it in his mouth and started chewing it with relish, his face was one of absolute enjoyment...
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but retch...
Such revolting things, the Swallowing Demon was eating like it was a delicacy, the impact on them was beyond words!
Xie Xie's face turned pale, "I... oh my! He really... really ate it, and he seems to be enjoying it!"
Tang Wulin also closed his eyes as if resigning to his fate, "It's over, it seems these white worms really are food for the Swallowing Demon!!"
Ye Xinglan pressed her thin lips together, "Are we really going to have to eat these white worms? I... can't even imagine it!"
Yue Zhengyu swallowed, "It sure looks like it, the Swallowing Demon just ate that disgusting worm after all!"
The Swallowing Demon, having snapped out of it, also turned his gaze back on Tang Wulin and the others, saying faintly, "Now it's your turn, get to eating! I hope no one makes me do it myself!"
After his words fell, Tang Wulin stepped out, chose one of the pots, and slowly opened it...
Sure enough, it was also full of white worms!
He forced himself to endure the stench, reached out and grabbed one, then tried putting it on his tongue...
But as soon as he did, his pupils shrank sharply, forcibly covering his mouth with his hand, his face twisting as he chewed...
Seeing this, Xie Xie also began eating, not even chewing, just swallowing it whole...
Then Yue Zhengyu and Xu Lizhi exchanged a glance, also moved to the table, with trembling hands picked up the white worms and began chewing...
What followed was a round of vomiting...
The somewhat soft-hearted Yuanen Yehui sighed, "Given the situation, we have no choice but to grit our teeth and eat it!"
Wu Siduo nodded, "Yes, even though it will definitely taste bad, at least it's safe!"
Xu Xiaoyan muttered, "I... alright..."
Ye Xinglan spoke up, "Better to get it over with quickly than prolong the agony, let's eat these things now."
....
After a pause, they said with full caution, "Of course, if it was only sixty-five pieces of fifth-level soul cannonballs, the damage shouldn't have been so horrific, thus, after multiple investigations, it was confirmed that a ninth-level fixed soul cannonball was released afterward."
The ninth-level fixed soul cannonball is fundamentally different from the fifth-level one, the former's power is enough to submerge half a city!
Luckily, this ninth-level fixed soul cannonball wasn't just for killing! It was purposefully used to eliminate the administrative officer of Tiandou City!
Tang Wulin took a deep breath, "Hiss... the evil soul masters are truly insane, releasing a ninth-level fixed soul cannonball in a city!"
Fortunately, he wasn't in Tiandou City, these guys were far more terrifying than he imagined!!
Guo Xiaoxu also took a deep breath, "You should probably guess the aftermath by now, the entire federation has entered level 1 alert status, and dispatched a large number of personnel to search, the Tang Sect is actively cooperating with them at the invitation of the Federation's War God Hall!"
Tang Wulin seemed to have thought of something, exclaiming, "Right, Hall Master Guo, when we participated in the Northsea Legion's military training, we needed to infiltrate inside, and at that time, it seemed some soldiers were discussing the theft of soul cannonballs!"
Could it be that the soul cannonball stolen from the Northsea Legion was this ninth-level fixed soul cannonball released over Tiandou City??
Upon closer inspection, this possibility is indeed not small!!
Upon hearing his words, Guo Xiaoxu's pupils contracted sharply, "Tang Wulin, are you serious about this? If it's true, it must be the Northsea Legion blocking the news! And, it's definitely not just one that was stolen!!"
The leakage of soul cannonballs brings such a threat, just thinking about it makes one's feet feel cold!
After all, who knows if the next area where the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters drop a soul cannonball would be right under their feet!!
Tang Wulin scratched his head, hesitantly, "Hall Master Guo, we didn't really pay attention at the time, so we can't be sure..."
Guo Xiaoxu pressed her lips, "I see, well, there are no walls that don't allow wind to pass through, I will apply to thoroughly investigate the Northsea Legion and the federation's interior then!"
It's impossible to steal a ninth-level soul cannonball without the involvement of high-ranking officials!
Tang Wulin tried to ask further, "But..."
Yet Guo Xiaoxu clearly had no intention to continue the conversation, waving a hand, "Alright, let's discuss this matter once you've advanced your Fighter level, there will be a task waiting for you then!"
Tang Wulin nodded slightly, accepting it...
Afterward, the process for advancing his Fighter level was very simple, Tang Wulin only used his One-Word Battle Armor, and he was promoted from a White-Class Fighter to a Yellow-Class Fighter, receiving a brand-new black robe and yellow mask!
When he emerged wearing the black robe and yellow mask, Guo Xiaoxu was generously praising, "The fit looks just right, it suits you well!"
Tang Wulin said softly, "Thank you for the compliment, Hall Master Guo, but what about the task you mentioned earlier?"
