Chapter 67: Only Basketball Can Save the World

Ye Yuantang and the middle-aged bald man watched as Bai Qige managed to wake a few fake-dead Bloodthirsty Dragon Camels just through his words, and they changed their expressions when they heard that the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camels had even watched a recently released Hollywood movie.

What could be worse than an alien monster army invading Earth? It would be a group of intelligent alien monsters who first hide, learn, and then begin their invasion.

"What are you really, and why are you doing this!" Ye Yuantang suddenly asked, and the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camels all laughed in their peculiar way.

"Foolish and evil Earthlings, we follow the will of the Eternal Dark Demon Emperor. We come to conquer and will correct your misguided civilization, bringing you eternal peace!"

Bai Qige had to give a thumbs-up to the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camels. As soon as he said this, the image of the alien monsters invading Earth was completely set. Ye Yuantang probably wouldn’t have any doubts now, though Bai Qige secretly admired them, he suddenly interrupted:

"If this monk guessed correctly, after you say this line, you will be committing suicide, right? Don’t be so quick to sacrifice yourselves; I still have a lot to say to you!"

The Bloodthirsty Dragon Camels looked at Bai Qige as if he were a strange creature.

"Evil Monk, who are you really? Earthlings should know nothing about us!"

"Amitabha, I am a monk from Lanruo Temple under the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, specifically responsible for dealing with you alien monsters and protecting the peace of Earth. In fact, it is not the first time I have dealt with your Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel clan! Long ago, my temple’s founder, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, had already driven back an invasion from your clan! So I know a lot about you!"

The Bloodthirsty Dragon Camels, being tribal creatures, could not tell if another tribe had invaded Earth before. After a moment of silence, they said, "So there are people like you hidden on Earth. We have gathered this information. Next, we will abandon our foolish curiosity and seriously start our conquest war!"

Bai Qige chuckled, "Fine, do as you wish. Anyway, from the moment you appeared, I had no hope that you could coexist peacefully with Earth. By the way, you still owe my disciple a reasonable request. Aotian, come here! Ask them where their lair is. Oh, wait, that question might be a bit unreasonable; it will probably be rejected. Just ask where the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camels first appeared! According to their usual behavior, that place is their nest."

Long Aotian approached, curious about the question, and saw the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camels looking troubled, yet they answered word by word:

"Deep City, Tianhua Zoo, Alpaca Area!"

After answering the question, the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel dramatically closed its eyes and then its whole body strangely swelled up, followed by a melting phenomenon, and finally turned into a pool of blood.

For the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel tribe, the Ten Commandments set by the Eternal Dark Demon Emperor are absolute and cannot be disobeyed. Even though they knew this question would reveal the location of their Mother Nest, the rule about the enemy being able to make a "reasonable" request after winning a bet made it impossible for them to resist.

As long as they find the right way, the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel can be quite silly and easy to deal with, but all of this is based on the Eternal Dark Demon Emperor’s Ten Commandments. Without this restraint, the situation would be too terrible, and Bai Qige couldn’t even imagine it.

When everyone heard the words "Deep City," Long Aotian, Mugang Xian, and others gasped in shock. That city was closely connected to them, and hearing that the alien monsters’ nest was hiding there made them very tense. Bai Qige turned and asked:

"Section Chief Ye, is the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel currently active in Deep City?"

"No! Right now, the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel is active in twelve cities, excluding North City, and Deep City is not one of them!"

"The Mother Nest is hiding in Deep City without showing any signs and sends the Undercover Unit to cause a ruckus in other cities? What a clever move! Even if you turn over all thirteen cities, including North City, you won’t find the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel Mother Nest. This way, they can easily collect information and analyze human war potential!"

Understanding this, Ye Yuantang couldn’t help but take a deep breath. This strategy does not seem very profound, but when he thought of it being conceived by a group of alien beings with malicious intent, he felt a chill.

He immediately took out his phone, began organizing personnel, coordinating various forces, and then started to report the situation to his superiors, seeking advice to gain more authority for on-site decision-making. Even though the situation was urgent, Ye Yuantang remained calm and organized.

However, Bai Qige estimated in his heart that the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel must already know what was happening here!

The Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel sent out Undercover Units to take over the bodies of animals like house cats and dogs, hiding in human homes to gather information. But to receive this information, it’s certainly impossible for these undercover units to secretly transform into cats and dogs in the middle of the night while their owners are asleep, and then secretly use their owner’s phone or computer to report to the Mother Nest, or sneak out to go to the Mother Nest.

If they were to be that foolish, the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel’s stealth skills wouldn’t seem so hopeless. The Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel has a more convenient method; they possess a power called the Soul Network, which allows the Mother Nest to directly communicate with the Undercover Units at scheduled times, or even send their awareness to each Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel to listen in on what is happening around them.

Of course, there are ways to break such methods. In the Middle-earth World, if some special measures are taken, the traces of the Soul Network can be discovered, revealing the Undercover Units. However, such costs are not something ordinary people can afford; in any case, Bai Qige had been wandering in the Middle-earth World for three years and had heard of it but never seen it.

In summary, the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel Mother Nest already knows the situation here and will likely react quickly.

Indeed, it was not beyond Bai Qige’s expectations; the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel took action, but the scale of it was surprising. Before Ye Yuantang’s team could reach the wildlife park in Deep City to investigate, countless Bloodthirsty Dragon Camels rushed out from there.

When these Bloodthirsty Dragon Camels burst out, Ye Yuantang was still explaining the current situation to his superiors, who remained skeptical about the large-scale invasion of Earth by alien monsters and kept asking questions. But when these Bloodthirsty Dragon Camels came out, his superiors only had one thing left to say: full authority to handle the situation!

Ye Yuantang’s superior went to communicate and report to an even higher leader.

But faced with the current situation, even though Ye Yuantang had full authority, he felt no joy; his expression was no longer calm but extremely grim.

Following the usual plot in movies, the little alien monsters began to invade Earth. They took their time to allow the main characters to discover the truth about the invasion. In the early stages, there were foolish officials who, due to their distrust and inaction, caused many problems and missed chances to act. After the incident, the main character would showcase immense power, defeating the alien monsters with insect spray, of course with the help of a comical sidekick who meets a tragic fate.

However, right now, the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel was not following the usual script. In the morning, the first case of Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel appeared in North City. A few hours later, Bai Qige arrived with the Xiangbei Basketball Club in North City for the second case. Then, several hours later, twelve cities reported Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel sightings, and soon after that, countless Bloodthirsty Dragon Camels appeared in Deep City.

All of this happened in just one day. The reaction and actions of the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel were quick and accurate, with no delays at all. They didn’t give humans or Ye Yuantang a moment to react, causing the situation to spiral into irretrievable chaos in an instant.

Ye Yuantang, who was shrewd and experienced, eventually regained his composure. He decided to stay put and used the military base for military research, starting to mobilize various forces.

The first thing to do was to set up the phone lines, ensuring communication with the outside world. Fortunately, this was a military base, so personnel and equipment were readily available and quickly set up.

Thirty LCD screens were connected together, and they began connecting to the network, displaying aerial footage of Deep City. The images reflected a shocking scene: countless Bloodthirsty Dragon Camels were running through the streets, overturning cars and crashing into shops and homes.

"Where are the military and police forces of Deep City? Why don’t I see any signs of battle? Why can I only contact nine places? Haven’t I reached the mayor yet? Are they still in meetings or having fun at a time like this?"

To mobilize all forces, the first task was to find the highest official in Deep City. Unfortunately, no one was answering the phone. Ye Yuantang was furious, and those under his command began to take action. Since they couldn’t find the mayor, they looked for the deputy mayor and then reached out to the local military and police leaders. After several layers of searching, they finally found someone to answer a call at the Hu’an District Police Station in Deep City.

Ye Yuantang then learned some terrible news: at the moment Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel attacked, their first targets were the various government administrative departments, followed by the local military and police. They carried out a precise decapitation strategy, completely dismantling the administrative and combat organizations in Deep City.

The deputy chief is sneaking away during work hours to accept bribes, trying to stay safe for now. However, the child is completely frightened and has revealed everything over the phone, including who bribed him, how much money it was, and what he was supposed to do. He just wants his superiors to send someone to capture him quickly. The reason for his panic is simple: he is hiding in a warehouse while outside, five or six Bloodthirsty Dragon Camels are banging on the door and shouting loudly.

"Wang Fugui, the deputy chief of the Huafu District Police Station in Deep City, while you are at work, you should be working, not sneaking out to meet people and accept bribes. It has taken us so long to find you, and you deserve the worst punishment. Your colleagues, superiors, and even higher-ups have already been caught by us. You are wearing a tracking device we planted on you, so you can’t escape. Resist, and we will be harsh; confess, and we will be lenient. Come out quickly. We are the just, peaceful, and kind-hearted Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel tribe, and we will treat captives well! Don’t worry, we won’t hold your corruption against you!"

Hearing the righteous call from the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel on the other end of the line, Ye Yuantang took a deep breath and said to the director on the phone, "You should surrender first, and then we will find a way to bring you back for a fair trial!"

"Sir, does the Empire have an extradition treaty with these monsters?" The voice on the other end trembled. Ye Yuantang could only respond, "The Empire will do its best!"

After hanging up, Ye Yuantang deeply understood how dire the situation had become, with precise strategies to behead each high-ranking official of Deep City, completely shaking the Yanhuang Empire’s foundation of control over Deep City. Now, all Ye Yuantang could rely on were the hidden official forces, such as members of the Ninth Extreme Weather Management Office.

In fact, the aerial view right now is provided by these members, but they are limited in number. The Meteorological Bureau handles nationwide superpower matters, and its members are spread out. There aren’t many stationed in a single city. In the past, this wasn’t a problem; during emergencies, they could gather enough personnel in a few hours and combine forces with the local government. But now, with the local government incapacitated, having a few Psychics won’t make much difference.

In this situation, Ye Yuantang recognized the intelligence and strength of the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel!

This is war!

This realization suddenly filled Ye Yuantang’s heart, and his expression grew calm. At that moment, Bai Qige suddenly said, "Section Chief Ye, please rest assured. As I know, the large-scale movement of the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel, and the strategies that have likely been prepared long ago, will not result in many casualties! In fact, it might cause less harm than in the other twelve cities!"

At this moment, the Disaster of the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel began, and Bai Qige, who knew a lot about the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel, suddenly gained a higher status. Ye Yuantang spoke with clear politeness, "Master, please tell us!"

"Because the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel’s goal is to conquer, not to kill. As long as it can achieve its conquest, the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel will do everything it can to protect the lives of any intelligent beings. Even if you want to harm yourself when you cannot resist, the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel will stop you!"

This is the Peaceful Iron Rule, which complements the rules of conquest in the Ten Commandments. The Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel, which launches a full-scale war of conquest, is actually a rather graceful and gentle opponent, but only if you are already defeated and unable to fight back. If you resist strongly, then the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel will become a terrifying enemy, like a nightmare.

Ye Yuantang gazed at Bai Qige and said seriously, "Master, at this moment, I need your strength and wisdom. Please lend me your support. If you can help turn the situation around, the empire will remember your contribution!"

Bai Qige would certainly help; otherwise, why was he here? He put on a solemn face and said, "Rest assured, defending Earth against the invasion of little alien monsters is the belief that we at Lanruo Temple have upheld for many years. Even if my bones are shattered, I will do my part! In fact, I have a way to turn the situation around!"

Bai Qige pointed casually at the Xiangbei Basketball Team members, "These five disciples of mine, after my careful training, have become the ultimate weapons to fight against the invading alien monsters! We just need to bring them out, and we can solve this crisis!"

"Can they… really do it?" After being dazzled by Bai Qige’s clever words, Ye Yuantang found it hard to doubt or deny what he said. However, looking at the bewildered expressions on Long Aotian and Mugang Xian’s faces, he felt a bit uneasy.

"Section Chief Ye, please don’t worry. Although the Canglan Five Beasts are just ordinary students, they have extraordinary backgrounds. They inherit the Saiya fighting spirit from the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, the founder of Lanruo Temple. They are half human and half alien! As long as they pick up a basketball, not only can they deal with those little alien monsters, but they can also defeat gods!"

"Basketball?" When Ye Yuantang heard Bai Qige’s words, his tone became a bit subtle, and the five members of the Xiangbei Basketball Club suddenly changed their expressions.

"That’s right! As long as there are enough basketballs, my few disciples can immediately set off to save the world!"
