Chapter 1557: If You Can't Talk, Shut Up! (Bonus Chapter)
Upon seeing this, the other Dao Heaven experts naturally went along with the trend, right?
Piers immediately clapped and cheered!
٩('ω'◟)و "Great! Excellent! Truly worthy of the World's Strongest Diamond, such a sense of responsibility is truly admirable!"
"I also think assigning this task to Huaxia is most suitable!"
Salman also spoke: (՞д՞) "Now that things have come to this, it's not the time to quibble over who contributes more or less. Currently, Huaxia has the strongest presence on the Moon!"
"With that capability, it's only natural they should put in more effort!"
Lan Bing Tuo Lu curled his lips into a smile: "This is no place for jokes. We're all adults here, and we must take responsibility for our words!"
"Since Brother Jiangnan is so confident, this job is his!"
"How about we all vote by a show of hands?"
The moment the words fell, half the people raised their hands!
After all, having witnessed the terror of the Star-Devouring Giant Worm, no one was willing to expend their own forces to face it. It wasn't just a matter of throwing lives into the meat grinder!
Even a peak Dao Heaven Ten Star, when facing the Star-Devouring Giant Worm, had no capital to finish it off!
Even Baldr didn't have the strength to eliminate it in one strike!
As long as it wasn't killed in a single blow, it could regenerate!
Now that some big fool had voluntarily taken this task into his arms, how could they not be happy?
However, Yang Jian couldn't be happy at all!
That giant bug—how was it supposed to be killed?
But Bai Kou, Wu Zang, and the others didn't raise their hands. Instead, they fixed their gazes on Jiangnan!
Having personally faced the Star-Devouring Giant Worm, no one knew its terror better than them. Jiangnan knew it even more clearly!
Yet he had taken on this task?
Choosing to do the most difficult thing to relieve everyone's worries? For a moment, they even felt a touch of emotion in their hearts!
Qian Benying tilted her head: (•︠～•︡) "Boss Jiang? Are you planning to shoot the Star-Devouring Giant Worm to death?"
Jiangnan's face darkened: (̿▀̿皿▀̿̿)̄ "Bah! Where would I get that many soybeans?"
Quinn became interested: (͡°ก͡°) "Since Brother Jiangnan has said so and is this confident, he must have a plan, right?"
"Why not share it with everyone? Let's see if there's any way we can help?"
Jiangnan sat down, glanced at the two meeting recorders, then grinned.
(๑¯ิٹ¯ิ) "I won't go into detail about the core plan. I'm afraid I'll get myself and my brothers killed. You just need to know that Huaxia will handle this matter."
Quinn frowned: "Confidentiality? The purpose of the Blue Star Round Table is to open our hearts and jointly discuss the action plan!"
"For such an important operation, keeping it confidential seems a bit inappropriate, doesn't it?"
The smile on Jiangnan's face gradually faded.
"Because I can't guarantee whether any of you present here are people from the Holy Star!"
"Once the core plan is leaked, the Holy Star can set up traps and dig pits for us to jump into!"
"If the operation fails, the lives of me and my brothers will all be thrown in. Sorry, but I don't have the habit of handing my life over to people I'm not familiar with!"
"Don't talk about blind trust. I don't believe it, and neither do you. It's better to keep it mysterious."
At this point, everyone at the round table's expressions turned heavy, their gazes sweeping over every person present!
What Jiangnan said wasn't without reason. The Holy Star's infiltration capability was terrifying. Not everyone could resist the temptation of breaking through the door…
Jiangnan shrugged: ╮(•́ω•̀)╭ "Of course! If you're dissatisfied with me keeping the plan confidential, you can take on this task yourselves. Huaxia can handle the supporting roles."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone stopped talking immediately. Only a fool would want to deal with the giant bug!
Odin curled his lips into a hint of a smile. Young as he was, his mind was extraordinarily meticulous!
"I second the motion!"
At that moment, Bai Kou and the others also raised their hands one after another!
Quinn nodded: "Alright then, as Brother Jiangnan said, just keep the plan in mind. Next—"
"Wait!"
Before Quinn could finish speaking, Jiangnan directly interrupted him!
Quinn raised an eyebrow: "Is there something else?"
Jiangnan rolled his eyes: (꒪ัд꒪ั*) "You don't think handing over the Star-Devouring Giant Worm to Huaxia is the end of it, do you?"
"The Star-Devouring Giant Worm is inside the Moon Eye, and a large number of One-Eyed Species have gathered there. Once we move against it, the One-Eyed Species will definitely counterattack!"
"Huaxia will handle the most difficult Star-Devouring Giant Worm. You all are responsible for clearing away the One-Eyed Species' obstructions and obstacles. That shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"If you're not even willing to do that, then what's the damn point of this meeting?"
Bai Kou nodded: "Just dealing with the Star-Devouring Giant Worm is already extremely difficult. The other nations should naturally share Huaxia's burden."
Mi Ye raised her hand from the side: "All the combat power and resources of the Nightless City are at Jiangnan's disposal."
And Nicole, Qian Benying, Sena, and Ba Di also raised their hands one after another!
Under such circumstances, even if Piers and the others were reluctant to put in effort, they could only choose to cooperate with Jiangnan's actions.
Ku Po flipped through all the documents!
"Currently, the far side of the Moon is in its night period, and both the Moon Eye and the Pupil City are on the far side. These 14 days are the best opportunity for Blue Star to launch an offensive!"
"Once the far side completes its day-night cycle, the situation we face will undoubtedly become more difficult. The Moon might not last another Moon Day either!"
"Therefore, the counteroffensive must be launched during the far side's night!"
"And we have 11 days left!"
Martin the Star-Plucker curled his lip: "Speaking of this, since we're launching a counteroffensive, a lunar base is the bare minimum. Currently, only Huaxia's Silver Moon City remains on the Moon!"
"Except for Russia, no other country has the strength to rebuild a base. Since we've already chosen to unite—"
"Shouldn't Huaxia and Russia open up the use of their Star Gates? Shouldn't the technology for building bases be opened up as well?"
"The seed of the Moon Laurel Silver Vine is undoubtedly key. Additionally, the God-Slaying Spell Array—all families should be able to use it when dealing with the One-Eyed Species!"
"After all, this is for the common future of humanity, to fight the enemy together. Now is not the time to be secretive!"
At this moment, the faces of the Huaxia delegation darkened, and Yang Jian's expression turned particularly ugly!
It had finally come!
Moral blackmail—either you take it out or you don't! If you don't, you'll be cursed!
If you do, it's a loss, because these resources were accumulated bit by bit by Huaxia through immense effort!
This was using the banner of human righteousness to blatantly take advantage, and they were forced to let it happen!
Seeing that the Mi Guo side had spoken, Salman quickly followed up!
"Exactly! And what about that Rabbit Spit Pill? Selling for a million each? Only effective for three days? The counteroffensive will inevitably require a large number of personnel!"
"Who can afford that? Since such a thing exists and benefits everyone, I suggest Huaxia make the formula public!"
"Let every family have the capability to produce it, so they won't be choked by the throat!"
As Salman said this, many nations began to second the motion, chattering away!
Their swords were clearly pointed at Huaxia, their words like knives, trying to slice meat off Huaxia's body piece by piece!
If you're strong, you'll inevitably be targeted!
These actions were undoubtedly aimed at balancing the strength of each family!
Clearly, Huaxia's situation was extremely difficult. Refuting was wrong, and not refuting was also wrong!
And Jiangnan's expression grew even darker!
Salman grinned: (՞ټ՞) "This is for the better execution of the counteroffensive! Huaxia wouldn't put its own interests above humanity's future, would it?"
"That's not what a great power should do… Wuhuhu!"
Before Salman could finish, Jiangnan suddenly jumped up and grabbed a small fire jar!
(ꐦ°᷄口°᷅) "Go to hell with your mua!"
Opening a space wormhole, he directly slapped the small fire jar onto Salman's mouth, then forcefully turned it left, activating the removal mode!
Salman's eyes bulged. He never expected Jiangnan to suddenly attack!
What the hell was pressed against his mouth?
Just as he tried to resist, the sensation of comfort spreading through his entire body made him show a look of enjoyment!
(ૢ⁼̴●⁼̴)
Then a character "言" (speech) appeared on the small fire jar, which Jiangnan directly pulled off!
A "pop" sound was heard!
Everyone was shocked by Jiangnan's action. What the hell?
He cupped a fire jar on Salman's mouth?
But when everyone looked at Salman, half the people in the room burst out laughing!
Bai Kou's shoulders shook as she suppressed her laughter. Mi Ye directly buried her head in Mei's arms, laughing nonstop!
Qian Benying laughed so hard she slapped the table wildly, even pulling out her phone to take pictures!
(❀˃᷄ꇴ˂᷅)ツ┏━┓
As for Freya, her laughter was the loudest!
(๐˃̶ᗜ˂̶๐) "Ahahaha!" Without stopping, her little hands kept slapping Ku Po, pulling at his clothes and hair, shaking him back and forth, almost tearing off his sleeves!
Ku Po's face was black, his eyes red!
(ꐦ≖益≖ꐦ) "Chairman, can I really not punch him?"
Quinn: (⇀‸↼‶)…
Now, on Salman's mouth, a big red bump had swollen up, his lips like sausages, turning into a sexy pouty mouth, and he kept drooling!
(•́⊖•̀ꐦ)
"Wuhuhu! Wu!"
At this moment, Salman's eyes bulged, and he could only make "wu wu" sounds, unable to say a single word!
His ability to speak had been removed, and he was anxious on the spot. The Dao Heaven-level aura burst forth, and his gaze at Jiangnan could kill!
But Jiangnan was not afraid at all!
"If you can't talk, then shut the hell up! Blabbering on and on. Others use you as a gun, and you actually get excited about it, huh?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Piers and the others' expressions turned ugly!
Jiangnan squinted: "Don't lecture me about human righteousness! Huaxia doesn't owe anyone anything!"
"You can be poor, but poverty is not a reason for you to take advantage! Did all of Huaxia's methods and resources fall from the sky? You want them just because you say so?"
"Ask Bai Kou! How much did it cost just to get a Star Ring?"
Bai Kou said solemnly: "The fruits of an era's efforts! The entirety of an Era Lord!"
Jiangnan said coldly: "Huaxia's Star Ring, Star Chart, Yu Shen's Tears, Space Spirit Pearls—which of them came for free? Do you know how many places I've been to? How many life-and-death situations I've been through to get them?"
"It's not just the Star Gates, the God-Slaying Spell Array, or even the Moon Laurel Silver Vine. Did any of them come from a gust of wind?"
"When I say this, it doesn't mean Huaxia won't take them out!"
"The Star Gates can be used by all families for free. Even life-saving things like the God-Slaying Spell Array, I can take them out and share them with everyone, so everyone has the opportunity to use them!"
"After all, these are used to deal with the Bose bodies, for killing gods. This is our common enemy!"
"But relying on your own poverty, coming up and wanting to take advantage for free—someone worked hard to make the cake, and you come up wanting to eat it? Do I owe you something?"
