Chapter 991: Chapter 821: Can’t Keep My Hands to Myself

Sewer of Bronze City.

Moore receives a new task from Brother Chun, and the squirrel returns to the sewer to report. Originally, at this time, the sun would be rising, and Moore should have returned to his flesh body hiding in the abandoned mine to warm up, but now, Moore increasingly feels like the flesh body is just a burden.

This time, Moore’s squirrel received a reward that strengthened its power, clearly feeling much easier than when it came last night.

While running, Moore’s spatial perception detects an anomaly again, as if there’s a scar flowing through the space.

Is this? Shadow Demon? That Tatami?

He’s back, probably to complete the Mithril mirror task, after all, the factory exploded last night.

Moore is instantly filled with intense hostility, after all they are competing for the favor dominance of the Evil God’s task, and being able to blow up a factory is no small feat. As a top professional player, encountering a master brings the urge to compete.

But Brother Chun has instructed: they’ve already been trapped by the Slime Monster, don’t bother them, support them if conditions allow.

Although Brother Chun said so, Moore feels especially uncomfortable... But as a squirrel, he really can’t do much, so he decides to track. At the very least, see if the master can detect him, which is also a form of competition.

Quickly, Moore discovers his speed has slowed significantly. Because he’s a Shadow Demon with limited load capacity, carrying task items makes him walk slower?

The slower they walk, the stronger the urge to kick them a couple of times.

Why not think of a way to increase his intensity?

Moore notices a few bats hanging on the sewer walls.

He has Master Level spiritual perception from his Druid profession and spirit communication skills taught by the Slime Monster, should be able to communicate with bats? After all, Slime Monster is a sewer creature, should communicate with sewer creatures, right?

Previously too busy to try, now it’s time to test.

Moore squeaks and talks to those bats.

Then Moore’s screen shakes repeatedly, and he really hears the bats respond, even understands: "What’s up?"

Really works!

Of course, Moore can’t rely on a few small bats to increase the intensity on the Shadow Demon, so he asks: "Where’s your boss?"

Bats respond: "Why are you looking for the boss?"

Moore says: "Ahead there’s a shadow carrying lots of treasures."

Bats respond: "We’ll tell the boss right away."

Then they instantly flew towards the depths of the sewer.

Moore is actually amused! Did I really summon the Bat Boss just by saying a few words? That would make me terrifyingly strong!

Honestly, these little animals are truly pure and simple-minded, like obedient cute little kindergarten babies, believing and acting on whatever they’re told. So, is this why Druids prefer to communicate with small natural animals rather than people?

Let’s watch the Bat Boss’s show then, although Shadow Demon is intangible, Bat Boss uses Sound Wave Attack, which is also intangible. Intangible against intangible, reliable.

...

Alpha is crawling towards the Divine Tomb with Mithril paint obtained from the workshop.

Last night’s operation, despite being a bit troublesome, fortunately also benefited from the Tata Team’s chaotic cover, and finally was completed.

Then Beta comes to share good news: "Old buddy, the organization accepted my report, and has started spreading that Metatron is the one responsible for the killing of the 44 Dancing Girl assassins across the city’s underground! By tomorrow at the latest, the message will spread to the other four cities."

Alpha feels things are going too smoothly, a bit unaccustomed: "If you were Metatron, how would you face this accusation?"

Beta laughs: "Anyway, the Emperor wants to get rid of these sages, no matter how he responds, it won’t work. The Emperor will exhaust his Privilege Points."

Alpha sighs: "Actually he still has a way, if the Bronze City Flower has fled, he can pin the murder charges all on the City Flower."

Beta laughs out loud: "But ultimately it changes nothing, instead it only causes a breakdown and hostility with the City Flower!"

Alpha also can’t help but laugh: "Old buddy, you might want to check if there’s anything inconsistent?"

Beta ponders for a moment, really recalls something: "I feel, my task NPC in Shadow Demon City... seems to have a disconnect in attitude towards me, and it’s not just one!"

Alpha suddenly alarmed: "If one is disconnected, it might be a timeout on your task, but if a group is disconnected, could it be that players have entered Shadow Demon City and intercepted our tasks?"

Beta surprised: "If entered, tracking our task NPCs, that’s possible!"

Alpha solemnly says: "Our NPCs are specifically designed to serve our tasks, knowing to track us, they’re likely gift pack personnel."

Beta says: "Then I’ll ambush him!"

"Great, once I hand in the task, complete the Magic Mirror, I can immediately come back to support you..."

While plotting, Alpha suddenly feels something off, the sewer carries dense wind sounds.

What’s this?

Then a red light explodes in front!

——System Prompt: Warning! You’ve triggered the hidden Boss "Bat King" appearance for carrying high-value items in the sewer!

——Bronze Vanguard City city announcement: Player "Tatami" has triggered the city’s hidden Boss "Bat King" appearance! Racing to defeat the Bat King will earn rich rewards.

At this moment, the entire Bronze City player base is in an uproar!

Alpha is instantly dumbfounded!

What happened? My Mithril paint actually brought about a city Boss? This trigger condition is too simple!

The next moment, a shriek sweeps in, Alpha’s entire screen is shaking, although the Shadow Demon is intangible, it too will be affected by such a shock!
