Chapter 3256 External Pressure

Zhang Xuezhou only believed five-tenths of what Patton said.

He's fine with listening to gossip, but getting him to actually fight is extremely difficult.

Zhang Xuezhou's personality isn't that split. In the other world, he's timid and avoids trouble by keeping a low profile. It's impossible for him to come to the real world and suddenly launch a fierce attack, making enemies everywhere.

The reason for resisting Huang Daoxian was the clash of their techniques. Huang Daoxian was too destructive within the Red Alliance, and attacking Donghua was a life-or-death struggle, leaving Zhang Xuezhou no room to back down.

He only fought desperately in a few matters, rarely taking the initiative to cause trouble.

The disaster in the Omega Alliance was not yet at the point of being urgent, and Zhang Xuezhou would not blindly rush into danger just because Montespatton said a few words to him.

"Take good care of your injuries and think carefully about what you can come up with. This will also help you find some helpers. Once we investigate and find that the matter is feasible, we can accept the payment and act together. If the matter is too risky, then I can only suggest that you make a plan for population relocation!"

He expressed his opinions earnestly and sincerely, and also pragmatically expressed his needs.

This attitude made Montespatton sigh, but he also knew that it was the best response.

Zhang Xuezhou is not a national leader and cannot order people to risk their lives in dangerous places. Only sufficient interests can establish a relationship.

Only after assessing the risks can Zhang Xuezhou and others take action.

Montesbarton felt somewhat disappointed, but when his gaze swept over Chang Kongyinghao and the others, he felt a renewed sense of anticipation.

As long as the skilled cultivators in the sinkhole can successfully cultivate and emerge, the number of top-level experts will increase significantly.

Moreover, he noticed that Chang Kongyinghao and the others seemed to have changed somewhat, showing signs of resembling Chang Kongluo.

Using "Chang Kongluo" to describe him is by no means a derogatory term. Chang Kongluo was the first person in the Red Alliance to enter the seventh sequence, and he fought with Montesbatton for more than ten years. He was a genius who truly created the high sequence era and entered the ranks of Grandmaster.

It is difficult for children to surpass their genius fathers, but Montespatton vaguely sensed that the two were like a polished sword, seemingly showing signs of surpassing their master.

"The 'fast and slow' you've mastered upon entering the eighth sequence are particularly suited for unleashing violent swordsmanship. I know some special sword-forging methods that can create top-quality swords, along with matching sword techniques. I wonder if you'd be interested?"

Montespatton glanced at Zhang Xuezhou. He couldn't meet Zhang Xuezhou's demands, so he had no choice but to try people one by one.

"Aha?"

Chang Kong Yinghao gave an awkward laugh.

Montesbatton had clearly misjudged the situation; they did not emerge from the twist by having control over it, but rather by the aid of the sword technique, which allowed them to follow the leap.

However, he did not refuse Montesbatton, after all, Montesbatton's identity was rather special, and he might really have some unique and powerful manufacturing process.

"The weapons need to be actually forged, and the sword techniques need to be translated into the Red Alliance's official language. If it can't be done properly, then it's useless!"

He was about to agree when Zhang Xuezhou said something that gave Montespatton a headache, and he realized that he had almost fallen for Montespatton's trick.

“I can definitely build and translate,” Montespatton assured.

“Then come back after you’ve finished. You have plenty of time to recover from your injuries, which is perfect for the creation and translation,” Zhang Xuezhou said. “If this can benefit the gene sequence, then you will be a welcome friend to our allies!”

"So after all this time we've known each other, we're still not considered good friends?!"

Montespatton spoke softly, his expression subtly shifting as he hesitated, unsure whether to do so and thus help his competitor grow stronger.

"Currently, the development of the Omega Alliance in gene sequencing is significantly slower than that of our Alliance. If the country is to fall apart in the future, all of Lord Patton's preparations will be in vain," Ren Anran interjected. "Cooperating with our Red Alliance to move forward together is the right choice!"

"He's worried that if we develop too fast, we'll suddenly have a lot more competitors," Zhang Xuezhou laughed. "Hmph!"

"To be honest, one Seven Spiders is already giving you a lot of trouble. Add to that Tiger Hao, Tiger Yu, Nine Heads, Hundred Eyes, Six Ears, and White Bone, those fiery meteor creatures, and I don't think you have much of a chance to win!"

Montespatton grunted twice, while Zhang Xuezhou shrugged.

"Do you know the names of the other fire meteor beings?" Montesbarton asked solemnly.

“I’ve heard Hu Yu say that he can only avoid these creatures when he sees them,” Zhang Xuezhou nodded.

"Those damned old bastards!"

Montespatton gritted his teeth and cursed, completely disregarding the fact that he was a centenarian.

Clearly, compared to the ages of these meteoroid beings, Montesbatton is also a young man.

Those beings that have survived for so long and stood at the pinnacle of cultivation are all formidable, and even if they cannot adapt to the environment for a while, they must possess formidable abilities.

If these creatures were to adapt to this world, Montesbatton would shudder at the sight of them.

“This world is likely no longer a paradise that pioneers can occasionally discover, but has probably already been targeted. I think the troubles we will have to deal with in the future will definitely not be limited to these fire meteor creatures,” Zhang Xuezhou warned. “If we wait until then to be open and honest and cooperate sincerely, it may be too late!”

"You have this feeling?" Montesbarton asked cautiously.

“This is not a premonition, but a fact,” Zhang Xuezhou said. “We once saw Presenel send out spatial coordinates in the Thousand Islands Alliance. Without a special, deliberate search, I don’t think that sending out a single spatial coordinate could attract five fireballs in such a short time!”

“Perhaps this is just an occasional occurrence,” Montesbatton said with a hint of bitterness.

Are you willing to bet?

Zhang Xuezhou asked a question, but Montesbottom did not respond.

If one is very powerful, one will not become a pioneer.

The biggest advantage of pioneers is time; they have decades or even hundreds of years to adapt compared to later arrivals.

This advantage of having time allows them to establish a firm foothold early on, and continuously eliminate opponents who are not yet able to adapt to the environment, thus constantly using resources to reach the top.

In the original world, Montesbatton was just a member of a declining family; in this world, he is the master of an allied nation, ruling over a vast country of more than 30 million square kilometers.

The accumulation of vast resources has enabled Montesbadton to grow from a small town to a powerful one.

Those who reach the top undoubtedly do not want to fall to the bottom, and will not even allow competitors of the same level to appear, thus constantly hindering any potential rivals from advancing.

But Montesbatton did feel the strain.

Over the years, he had repeatedly investigated the backgrounds of the tigers and other creatures in Qinmeng, and discovered that the destruction of Qinmeng was not solely due to the actions of these two ferocious tigers. However, before he could fully understand the situation, other fire meteor creatures descended upon the region.

Zhang Xuezhou was right; the Seven Spiders alone had left him helpless.

The other party was even physically dead, leaving only an empty shell, which brought him huge and difficult trouble.

Even without considering the combined might of numerous fire meteor creatures, Montesbatton wouldn't dare claim certain victory in a one-on-one duel, let alone the potential chaos that might ensue in the future.

If we only try to prepare at the last minute, we might end up like the current Aomeijia Alliance, so vulnerable that we can't even find anyone to cooperate with.
