Chapter 66: Wake Up and Have Fun

After taking Bai Qige’s blow of the charlatan power, Ye Yuantang’s eyes flickered, and he slowly asked, "Master, with your knowledge of alien matters and the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel, what do you think we should do next?"

"The best strategy is to do as the Great Sage Equal to Heaven did long ago: find the nest of the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel, crush it with absolute power, completely destroy its core, leaving not a single ash behind. Then, search everywhere to capture the remaining followers and seal them up! After that, keep a close watch on the seal!"

The Middle-earth World and the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel have clashed for eight thousand years. During this time, there have been many extraordinary heroes and powerful forces aiming to solve this issue, yet none have uprooted the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel. Although Earth’s civilization is very different from the Middle-earth World, with technology on a completely different path, Bai Qige, who knows so much about the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel, finds that from an Earthling’s perspective, there is no way to defeat the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel tribe.

However, Bai Qige is not too sure about this, as he is just an ordinary citizen and knows little about national secrets. Big countries like the Yanhuang Empire might still have unknown super secrets, such as the true alien mothership, which could unleash a lot of advanced technology to defeat the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel tribe at a critical moment.

In fact, this is also why the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel repeatedly tests with small-scale attacks; they want to discover humanity’s true trump card!

Upon hearing this, Ye Yuantang shook his head and said, "Master, I regret to inform you that we have not yet found the nest of the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel."

"If you want to know about the lair of the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel, it is not very difficult. The previous disciple of the old monk defeated a few Bloodthirsty Dragon Camels. If Section Chief Ye allows me to take my disciple to ask, we can surely learn the location of the lair from them!"

Ye Yuantang’s expression softened slightly as he asked, "Really?"

"The old monk has lived in the deep mountains and forests, has not studied Buddhist scriptures, but has spent decades studying how to defeat aliens. I can guarantee this!"

It sounds strange that a monk who doesn’t read Buddhist scriptures spends years studying how to deal with aliens, but Ye Yuantang didn’t have time to think about it; his worldview had already collapsed, and he had no time to rebuild it.

Bai Qige called Long Aotian, Mugang Xian, and others, then took Ye Yuantang’s car to a military base near North City, where he saw the five Bloodthirsty Dragon Camels in the underground base of the military facility.

This military base normally serves military research purposes, and underground there is a very advanced and complete laboratory. At that moment, the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camels were being held there, just like a common scene in a movie: a strict, dust-free laboratory, the little monsters strapped to the operating table, while researchers in white coats and masks conducted cruel or kind experiments, and the villain stood in another room, looking down through a one-way mirror at the dissection subjects.

Bai Qige and the others now enjoyed the treatment of the movie’s villain, looking down through the glass at everything. He was not surprised by what he saw; capturing a Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel, an alien little monster, and not immediately putting it on the operating table for dissection to understand its structure would be strange. However, Bai Qige had no interest in asking the researchers what they had discovered.

In the thirty-eight hundred years of the Middle-earth World, the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camels that had been dissected and studied by various powerful individuals could easily circle around the Tianfang Continent more than three times; he had never heard of any discoveries made by others. Not only these people, but Bai Qige himself had killed Bloodthirsty Dragon Camels while wandering in the Middle-earth World, and out of curiosity had conducted dissections. He gained only the widely known knowledge and nothing more.

Ye Yuantang is the director of the Ninth Extreme Weather Management Office, responsible for superpower incident affairs. The matter of the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel falls under his jurisdiction. He said, "Section Chief Ye, your research is actually meaningless!"

Bai Qige casually said something, but he did not lower his voice while speaking, so others heard him. Not far away, a middle-aged bald man in a white lab coat suddenly looked upset!

"Section Chief Ye, the people you brought really do not know the rules. This is a confidential research base, not a place for religious figures to act arbitrarily. Or do you think that just because you have the right to enter a military base and a secret research site, you can tell others what to do here?"

Among those focused on science, attitudes toward religion generally fall into three categories: one group could not care less, another views it as a somewhat reasonable philosophy, and the last group openly scoffs at it, even feeling some hostility. They consider religion, which spreads ignorance and binds people, to be an enemy of science. If they are more extreme, they can even become followers of another religion.

This middle-aged bald man happened to be a devout believer in the superiority of science and a supporter of defeating all foreign heresies!

Along with Bai Qige’s earlier comment, the middle-aged bald man’s mood instantly soured. Sometimes, a person’s hostility does not need a reason; just a look that does not sit well can lead to trouble. For example, this middle-aged bald man spoke in an annoyed tone, giving off an air of arrogance.

In fact, he had the right to act this way. Ye Yuantang managed the superpower affairs within the Yanhuang Empire, carrying a heavy authority in secret, but the special nature of superpower affairs meant they could not be seen in the light. Therefore, Ye Yuantang’s name would not be widely known. More importantly, the upper class of the Yanhuang Empire was very adept at handling things, with the Meteorological Bureau having a strong authority to intervene in many other departments, even having temporary command and decision-making powers, but his rank within the system was not high.

Ye Yuantang was impressive in the underground world and very capable at the governmental level, but in the end, he was just a section chief, having significant power but low status. This is understandable; having a powerful organization with the ability to decide life and death paired with a noble systemic position is not about using talents but about raising wolves and snakes! Those lessons from history remain; the upper class of the current Yanhuang Empire has a clear mind.

At the same time, this is both a form of control and a form of protection. Having a lower level in the system prevents one from getting involved in high-level troubles and allows one to work without worry.

In this middle-aged bald man’s eyes, Ye Yuantang was merely a capable section chief working in a special confidential department, with considerable authority. He served as the director at the military research institute, enjoying research funding directly allocated by the state, while he himself also received bureau-level treatment. As a non-system personnel, if there were any disagreements, he really did not need to give Ye Yuantang any face.

Of course, to put it more directly, this person stays in the lab every day, shuts the door, acts like a ruler, and is used to being powerful, lacking the basic emotional intelligence to deal with others.

Ye Yuantang remained calm, his expression unreadable. Unless it was something like Bai Qige’s idea that there are no gods or Buddha in the world, only aliens, it was hard to move him. In fact, he didn’t mind such matters; the more excited this person was, it wouldn’t affect his work, and if things got too out of hand, he had plenty of ways to handle it.

The middle-aged bald man pointed his finger at Bai Qige, and Ye Yuantang turned to see how Bai Qige would respond.

Bai Qige was equally unfazed, gently stroking his long beard, "What I say is indeed reasonable. If I’m not mistaken, these Bloodthirsty Dragon Camels being transported are already in a fake death state and are just like corpses now, right? You should start with dissection for initial physiological studies, and then you might discover that the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel is only slightly strange in physiological structure, such as the bones, and that their organs and muscle fibers are quite strong, but at the genetic level, they are not much different from ordinary wild animals. In fact, they are even identical to some common animals on Earth, aren’t they?"

The middle-aged bald man’s expression changed; clearly, Bai Qige had hit the mark.

Bai Qige smiled kindly and continued to speak:

"Whenever Bloodthirsty Dragon Camels appear in a new place, they will first hide and gather information about their surroundings. Once they have complete control over the information, they will reveal their true forms. This hiding is very deceptive; they can take over the bodies of wild animals, such as cats or dogs, and then hide to gather more information. After they have learned everything, they will shift from their harmless disguised form to their original massive beast form!"

Bloodthirsty Dragon Camels can invade other animals and transform into their shapes, which troubles the people of Middle-earth World. They feel hopeless about completely eradicating the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel race because perhaps the cat that has been in their home for years is actually an undercover Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel that secretly watches everything around. Only when the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camels attack in large numbers will these undercover units reveal themselves, or maybe they won’t. These undercover units might remain hidden forever, living like ordinary cats until old age, waiting for the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel army to be defeated, after which they will serve as the foundation to rebuild a new army.

"Impossible! A creature with such an unseen physiological structure cannot have the same genetic makeup as a llama! That’s just not scientific!"

"Hehe, is it an alpaca? It seems that the original Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel probably appeared in parks or other places where alpacas can be found. However, this is not an unreasonable thing. Transforming a human into a half-human, half-machine warrior does not change the fact that their flesh and blood genes remain human! The changes made to animals by Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel are quite similar to this!"

In the Middle-earth World, there is not as advanced microscopic observation technology as on Earth, but there are still ways to reach similar conclusions. In this world, there is a creature called the Iceberg Wolf. This creature has a special bloodline, and if it is a purebred Iceberg Wolf, its blood carries a strange icy power. From the perspective of Earth’s science, this means it has special genes. However, if the Iceberg Wolf crossbreeds with other creatures, its bloodline will be tainted, and that icy power will immediately disappear. When the Iceberg Wolf is invaded by the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel, it directly transforms into its initial form, but the icy power in its blood will not vanish. Because of this, the people of Middle-earth World have concluded that the invasion and transformation by Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel will not change the original bloodline state of a species.

A few short sentences immediately showed Bai Qige’s deep understanding of the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel. Ye Yuantang’s expression suddenly changed, and he quickly asked, "So can these Bloodthirsty Dragon Camels invade human bodies?"

"Please rest assured, Director Ye, Bloodthirsty Dragon Camels will never choose any highly intelligent beings as their invasion targets!"

Among the Ten Commandments of the Eternal Dark Demon Emperor, there is an iron rule called taboo, which states that Bloodthirsty Dragon Camels are not allowed to choose any highly intelligent lives as invasion targets. To put it frankly, the people of Tianfang Continent in the Middle-earth World are alive today thanks to the grace of the Eternal Dark Demon Emperor from eight thousand years ago. Otherwise, with the vicious and strange nature of the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel, the Tianfang Continent would have been doomed long ago.

"Who are you exactly?" The middle-aged bald man found it very strange that Bai Qige knew so much about the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel. Bai Qige exclaimed:

"Amitabha, I am Wet Dream, the current head of Lanruo Temple. I am skilled in one hundred and eight alien languages, knowledgeable about three thousand types of aliens, and proficient in twelve thousand nine hundred and sixty-five ways to defeat alien monsters! I am one of the top alien research experts on Earth! Speaking of which, we are in the same field, both engaged in research!"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged bald man remained silent for a long time. He truly did not think a religious person studying aliens could be in the same field as him, but he had no way to argue, as Bai Qige spoke about the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel with clear logic and thorough understanding.

Bai Qige clasped his hands together in greeting, "Amitabha, the Disaster of Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel is severe. We must act quickly. Please take us to see those Bloodthirsty Dragon Camels. I have a way to ask them where their lair is!"

With Ye Yuantang nodding beside him, the middle-aged bald director hesitated for a moment, but his deep-rooted curiosity as a researcher overcame the slight discomfort from his prejudice, and he led Bai Qige and the others into the laboratory below.

The researchers had already stopped, leaving the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel partly dissected, a sight that was quite gruesome. Bai Qige walked over and said slowly.

"You don’t need to pretend to be dead; I know you can hear me!"

The Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel continued to maintain its fake death pose. Seeing this, Bai Qige shook his head, clearly displeased with the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel. So, he decided to bring out his secret weapon. Bai Qige, appearing dignified, recited solemnly:

"Eternal Dark Demon Emperor, you worthless loser and impotent man, wake up!"

The five Bloodthirsty Dragon Camels, who were pretending to be dead, opened their eyes at that very moment and immediately began to shout insults:

"You evil monk! How dare you insult us? Let us down, and we will fight you!"

A slight smile appeared on Bai Qige’s lips. One of the Ten Commandments set by the Eternal Dark Demon Emperor stated that the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel must respect him, treating him as the supreme and only god!

This means that as long as you shout the name of the Eternal Dark Demon Emperor at the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel, they will react fiercely, just as if you had provoked them. This was the principle behind Bai Qige getting the others to insult the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel in their language before luring them out. Of course, using this rule comes with risks; too much taunting could backfire, leading to danger.

"You want to use the opportunity to see what information can be learned about the Earth scientists after capturing you, right? Knowing yourself and your enemy means you can win a hundred battles. Your Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel clan is doing very well here. If the aliens in Hollywood movies had half of your intelligence, Earth would likely be conquered already!"

As the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel struggled and shouted angrily, Bai Qige calmly teased him. The laboratory’s restraints were very strong. The Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel struggled for a while but couldn’t break free, and then the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel Chief shouted angrily:

"The dumb aliens in the movies have less intelligence than us! A few days ago, we went to see ‘Battle of Earth: The Aftermath 2,’ and after watching, I wanted to hit the director for their portrayal; they didn’t describe aliens but rather paramecia!"

"I’m really sorry. I guess the director didn’t think there would actually be alien monsters watching his movie!"
