Stone Ocean, encampment.
Priest sat on a leather chair made from a hell-level monster. His slender arms were placed on the chair handle. The large white spots on his head spread like snakes and extended onto his face.
In front of him were two leaders of Stone Ocean, Prisoner and Anemone.
Aice was not around.
“What do you think of Aice?” Priest’s voice was cold, like an emotionless machine.
Jealousy flashed across Anemone’s hideous face. “She’s as cowardly as a mouse.
The ace rescue team is just outside, and there are only ten people. Yet, she’s still considering this and that and not making a move at all.”
“Aice is meticulous and has a clear plan. Since she didn’t choose to attack,”
Prisoner said in a sinister voice. “She naturally has her reasons.”
“What are they??” Anemone said disdainfully. “She’s just thinking too much after tasting defeat! There was no such thing as having the best of both worlds. If she is unwilling to take any risks, she would be fine when Demonic Awakening charges in if she just sticks out her butt and apply more oil, but boss, you’ll definitely die.”
Priest rubbed his forehead, his expression indecipherable. “I’ve received news from the north that Demonic Awakening is attacking again because they’ve already finished laying out their plans.”
“I don’t understand.” Prisoner frowned.
“True Demon Longyang managed to subdue two advanced demonic human organizations in a single day because he planted the seeds early on,” Priest said.
“Traitors.” Prisoner understood. “Boss, are you suspecting that Aice is someone from Demonic Awakening?”
“No wonder! No wonder she stopped you so many times, Boss.” Anemone’s eyes lit up. “No wonder she suddenly canceled the operation outside the Eastern Base City. This time, the prey was right in front of us, but she let them go!”
Priest shook his head. “Aice has contributed a lot for the past two years. 1 understand her concerns about staying in seclusion. However…”
“Boss, wake up! Don’t fall for this batch’s trick! Everything she did was for Demonic Awakening!” Anemone shrieked. “By developing Stone Ocean, when the time comes, she can make a great contribution by relying on Demonic Awakening. Boss, if you attack the ace rescue team now, you’ll definitely suffer losses. It’s only a given she doesn’t want to see such a situation.”
“…I’m a little confused now.” Priest rubbed his head with both hands, his eyes shifting. “Prisoner, what do you think?”
“I don’t want to guess what Aice’s identity is, but in the current situation,” Prisoner said in a ghastly voice. “Demonic Awakening is coming menacingly. True Demon Longyang is very powerful. Added with True Demon Yinren, Huaxia will definitely lose this battle.”
“It’s not wrong to be cautious step by step, but…” Prisoner looked at Priest. “Special times call for special decisions. Once you miss some opportunities, you might never get them again.”
“Got it. You guys can leave first. I’ll think about it.” Priest waved his hand with a cold expression. “No one is allowed to reveal what happened today.”
“Yes, sir!”

East Camp, Evolution Camp’s headquarters.
“Knock, knock, knock.”
“Come in.”
“You were looking for me, chief?” Wang Ye sat down.
“Is the operation going well?” The chief looked straight at Wang Ye.
“Very smoothly.” Wang Ye smiled.
“Are the teams cooperating well?” The chief asked.
“There’s no problem at the moment.” Wang Ye thought about it.
Zhao Chi, who was the strongest, trusted him very much.
Master Huo of the South Camp was being controlled by Sister Rui.
Chen Zhicong from the north camp didn’t look too smart, so it wasn’t a big problem.
However, this was only for now. If the operation continued without any progress, the joint operation would definitely collapse. This was also the reason why Aice was not anxious at all.
With the information of the Evolution Camp in her hands, she understood human nature too well.
“That’s good.” The chief nodded. “I didn’t have any other intentions when 1 asked you to come. I only want to understand the current progress and see if you need my help.”
“Not at the moment. If I need help, I won’t be polite.” Wang Ye laughed.
The chief nodded and took a sip of tea. “Some news has been circulating on the forum recently. You’re the one who released them, right?”
“Chief, you have good eyes.” Wang Ye didn’t hide anything. “I plan to start from the root and break the trust between Priest and Aice. I’ve studied the development of Stone Ocean. It’s undeniable that Priest is gifted and is one of the best among the demonic humans. However, the rise of Stone Ocean to become the overlord of east Huaxia was during these two years since Aice joined. Without her, Priest is at most a general talent, far from reaching his current level.”
The chief pondered, “He trusts the demon Aice very much. It won’t be easy to drive a wedge between them.”
“There’s no need to drive a wedge between them. All we need is a crack. Demonic humans are selfish by nature,” Wang Ye said. “No matter how much Priest trusts Aice, it’s still for himself. Now that Demonic Awakening has made a comeback, it’s impossible for him not to feel a sense of crisis. We only need to add fuel to the fire to achieve our goal.”
” Priest’s target is very clear. He wants the blood of an advanced Evolver, especially a level 9 genetic warrior. When he no longer obeys Aice’s every word, he will take the risk and attack us sooner or later.”
The chief was slightly surprised. “He can’t attack though? After you came back from Li Lake, you all shut yourselves in and didn’t even come out. You even gave up on searching. Could it be that he would stake everything on attacking the Eastern Base City?”
Wang Ye laughed. “Chief, have you ever been in a relationship?”
“Umm…” The chief stammered.
“For some girls, when you appear in front of them every day and are within their reach, they won’t cherish you too much,” Wang Ye said. “But if one day you suddenly leave without looking back and she needs you but can’t find you, she will have a strong psychological fluctuation. The more she needs you, the greater the fluctuation! Until she can’t hold it in anymore, then she would start to release some signals.”
“You scum… 1 don’t understand what you’re saying.” The chief rubbed his head.
If you were Priest,” Wang Ye said. “Would you panic if the prey at your doorstep suddenly ran away? Demonic Awakening has already charged in, and once Huaxia is defeated, Stone Ocean will become a vassal. Even if Priest surrendered, he will very likely be killed.”
“Then what will he do?” The chief somewhat understood.
Wang Ye said, “First, it’s the psychological fluctuation. You must definitely hold yourself back at this time. Don’t pay attention to her. Hook her up and let her worry herself until she can’t take it anymore… Ahem, if nothing unexpected happens, demonic humans will appear around Li Lake in the next few days.”

Is this the signal he will release?” The chief’s eyes lit up.
“Yes, and then we continue fishing. The bigger the signal she releases, the more irrational she is. At this time, we will appear again, and everything will be smooth sailing. Of course, it’s best to give them a way out when we do appear.”
The chief was deep in thought. “And what if no demonic humans appear?”
“That means he still trusts Aice,” Wang Ye said. “Then we’ll have to continue to set fire to the connection between them!”
Back to the defense area, Beyond Rescue Team’s encampment.
As the commander of the joint operation, Wang Ye naturally wouldn’t slack off.
Although they were temporarily not going to Li Lake, he still had a firm grasp of the overall situation. At the same time, he had to continue his cultivation.
He entered Moon Web and trained his Gravity Spell, a transformation-type ability.
Since it worked by changing the nature of energy, it was as complicated as the control-type ability.
The beginner-rank Gravity Spell could be effective in an area to increase the gravitational force of the area.
The intermediate-rank Gravity Spell allowed one to have fine control, adding gravity to a single object, including a person.
As for the advanced-rank Gravity Spell, not only was one’s control range and distance increased, but one could also reduce the gravitational force. For example, Aice could fly by reducing the gravitation force on herself.
The reason why Wang Ye cultivated the Gravity Spell was partly to increase his attack methods.
The elemental and transformation types were the strongest two ability types.
Not only were their attacks powerful, but they were also ranged attacks.
On the other hand, it was to deal with Aice.
He had to return the favor.
Since the other party had used the Gravity Spell on him, he had to use it on her as well.
If she reduced the gravitational force on herself to fly, he would gift her a gravity BUFF and make it so that she couldn’t!
At night.
[Gravity Spell, beginner 11
With the advanced Control Spell as the foundation, Wang Ye was able to quickly finish practicing the Gravity Spell despite its complexity.
Increasing the gravitational force by several times consumed his ability a lot.
The greater the gravitational force and the wider the range of control, the more ability consumed!
Upgrade!
[Gravity Spell, beginner -> practiced]
[Gravity Spell, mastery —> perfection]
Four consecutive leveling up.
From the beginner stage to the perfection stage only took 75 potential points.
To him now, that was a drop in the ocean.
Wang Ye continued to practice the intermediate-rank Gravity Spell in Moon Web.
The next morning.
Level 7 genetic warrior, 78%.
At this point, the energy of the high-grade evolution fruit was basically exhausted.
Wang Ye took out the F8 body stimulant and consumed it. The powerful energy fused with his skin and began a new round of strengthening.
There was still no movement by the Li Lake.
“So calm.” Wang Ye looked at the forum.
True Demon Longyang had already appeared near the Northern Base City.
Two advanced demonic human organizations had started to attack the encampment outside the city.
“Time to deal a heavier blow!”
On the sixth day of the joint operation, at the Evolution Camp’s headquarters.
“He finally couldn’t take it anymore.” Wang Ye laughed.
The four captains looked at Wang Ye with admiration.
Even Chen Zhicong and Huo Zhenshi, who had been skeptical before, were now prostrating themselves in admiration.
Awesome! He didn’t miss anything!
Wang Ye was too terrifying!
Stone Ocean was really unlucky to have met him.
Let’s go! Charge!” Song Shirui couldn’t hold it in anymore.
“Wait a little longer,” Wang Ye said.
“Why?” Song Shirui did not understand.
The chief wanted to say something but hesitated.
“Priest is still probing. Let’s not give him any attention yet,” Wang Ye said.
“Oh.”
On the seventh day, three demonic humans appeared at the edge of Lake Li and killed hell-level monsters to suck blood.
On the eighth day, a whole team of demonic humans appeared by the lake. They tried to cover it up, but the more they tried, the more obvious it was.
On the ninth day, the members of the four ace rescue team gathered at the headquarters of the evolution camp. Their eyes were filled with a strong desire to fight.
In the past three days, not only was Priest being fished, but it also made their hearts itch.
Especially Song Shirui, who was so anxious that she wanted to eat Wang Ye up. She asked him every day if they could make a move.
“It’s time.” Wang Ye’s eyes were bright.” The fish has taken the bait. It’s a big fish that has lost its patience. Prepare for battle. It’ll be a fierce one today.. Target: the leader of the Stone Ocean, Priest!”
