Chapter 352 - He Seems To Have… Suppressed Too Much Fury!
This was the first live broadcast that was about to exceed one million hits in the history of the foreign races" live broadcasts.
The foreign race"s disaster resistance live broadcast channel also reacted in the same manner as when Su Mo had posted his "announcements" on humankind"s World Channel previously, which had caused the channel to lag.
Perhaps the game did not expect a freak like Connie to appear amongst the foreign races; she was capable of attracting 95% of the foreign races to enter her broadcast stream simultaneously.
Therefore, the screen was still dark even after Connie"s voice could already be heard.
"Welcome to my live broadcast stream. Welcome to all the brothers and sisters from the ordinary foreign races!"
"Welcome Brother Snow Soaring Bear to my live broadcast stream! Welcome all of you who still have hope for the rise of the ordinary foreign races into the Golden Lion King"s live broadcast stream!"
"The screen is currently lagging, but don"t worry and just wait patiently! Today"s live broadcast will continue into the night to ensure that all the brothers and sisters from the ordinary foreign races can see us."
Connie was completely different from how she was in the World Channel. She was amiable and approachable, just like a humble gentleman. Her voice was soothing and rea.s.suring to those who heard it!
"Great! It"s obvious that she has talent for this!"
Listening to Connie"s performance, Su Mo nodded his head while also casting his gaze toward the comments section next to him.
"D*mn, I love this! The Golden Lion King"s voice actually sounds so good. To think that I used to think that she would sound like an old shrew!"
"Sister Golden, scold me! Come and humiliate me! I can give you materials for a one-on-one session!"
"The person above seems to have some strange kinks!"
"Heh, you"re hiding everything like you"re playing some sort of cheap trick! I thought you"d show us how powerful your s.h.i.+p would be, but nothing"s happened yet!"
"This person who insulted her is a fool, right? Can"t you see that the Golden Lion King"s s.h.i.+p is in first place? You must"ve been hit on the head and suffered some form of concussion!"
"She"s in first place in four sections, other than personnel and firepower. Oh my G.o.d, I can vibe with this! Sister Golden Lion King, is the lion clan still short of people? Count me in!"
"Golden Lion King is the G.o.d of the ordinary foreign races. No, she"s the G.o.d of all the foreign races! The Five Royal Clans are just garbage who are beneath her!"
"..."
Waves upon waves of comments quickly gushed out.
Seeing that Connie"s s.h.i.+p had "really" topped the ranking, everyone among the ordinary foreign races was excited!
Before they arrived at the wasteland, the clan elders" sincere teachings or the rules of survival in their Inherited Memories had imprinted a statement in their minds…
"Even if you die, don"t provoke the Royal Clans, or you"ll invite trouble for the next batch who will enter the wasteland!"
The Five Royal Clans became more and more arrogant exactly because of such teachings.
However, when the "Golden Lion King" had suddenly appeared!
All people among the foreign races found that the times had changed!
Since when would someone from an ordinary foreign race dare to insult the Five Royal Clans and make them angry?
Since when would someone from an ordinary foreign race trample over the Royal Clans and top the rankings directly?
"The humans have Old Devil Su, and we, the foreign races, have the Golden Lion King!"
"We don"t need to be afraid of the Five Royal Clans at all!"
Someone started to lead the conversation in this direction. As the comments section gradually got more and more out of control, the Five Royal Clans…
Panicked!
However, at this moment, they could not do anything about it.
There was a vast distance separating them and her. They knew that until they could physically use their claws and teeth to make the Golden Lion King pay, they could only rely on words alone.
Even if all five of them took action at the same time, they would still be unable to win against the Golden Lion King in a verbal contest!
If they wanted to defend their dignity and a.s.sert the Five Royal Clans" dominance, the only way was to make this Golden Lion King…
Die!
"Even if her s.h.i.+p is strong, she"s not on the firepower and manpower rankings. This means that we still have a chance!"
"Don"t be anxious. As long as we are allowed to kill this Golden Lion King and s.n.a.t.c.h her s.h.i.+p away, we Royal Clans will still be the Royal Clans!"
"It"s not befitting of our status to argue with these ordinary foreign race members. We"ll wait and see what happens!"
The screen was still black. The Five Royal Clans were chatting with one another, comforting each other.
As a small group, they shared both glory and losses together.
As such, at times like this, they could only swallow their fury down and force themselves to endure the abuse dished out on the comments screen.
Luckily, it only lasted four minutes and twenty seconds. When the screen started to display the live feed, the chatter on the comments screen slowly grinded to a halt.
"Okay, the screen"s lit up now."
"Behind me is our lion clan"s s.h.i.+p, the Lion King!"
Looking at the live broadcast screen that was finally no longer black, Connie stood on the bow of the s.h.i.+p with a smile on her face while holding a crudely made flag with pride.
Under her deliberate arrangements, the feed displayed on the screen of the live broadcast was shot from a wide angle perspective.
Not only could every viewer see Hope One in its full glory, but they could also see how beautiful the s.h.i.+p was as it sailed across the ocean!
Like a Loch Ness monster emerging from the water, the angular Hope One was perched quietly on the surface of the sea.
Under the sunlight, both the bright yellow deck and the black steel surface seemed to exude a special magic that made people unable to take their eyes off it.
As this was also Su Mo"s first time appreciating Hope One from this perspective, even he felt a touch of shock.
In this era of civilization, it was not everyone"s first time seeing news of big s.h.i.+ps sailing across the seas, and it was also not their first time being on a large cruise s.h.i.+p.
However, when it came to a battles.h.i.+p of such caliber, and when it was filmed from a wide angle perspective from the forefront…
In the open sea, it seemed to manifest a thrilling sort of "special" beauty.
In addition, for those foreign races who had not seen the world back on Earth, such a huge steel s.h.i.+p was totally out of their league, be it in terms of expectations or even comprehension.
They lived on land and had little memory of the sea. They only came into possession of s.h.i.+ps after plagiarizing them from humans and also some smaller portions of their Inherited Memories.
Steel could be made into weapons; this they knew…
However, the fact that steel could be made into s.h.i.+ps…
That was simply outrageous!
"I know. For a long time, these stupid Five Royal Clans restricted everyone"s actions and interactions. They banned us from making contact with humans, and instructed us to antagonize humans. They have been constantly telling us that human weapons and human tools are worthless, and that we would eventually go extinct if we interacted with humans."
"Undeniably, there is some truth in their words. However, at the same time, what have they done?"
"They have quietly prepared their battles.h.i.+ps. They said that they were going to kill Old Devil Su, but Old Devil Su is still living comfortably and is having a great time. Even Thunder Monkey King is now sailing an advanced battles.h.i.+p that was invented by the humans. He lured us to to capture and keep human slaves to cover up the fact that he"s been working with humans."
"Having said all this, I believe that everyone"s hearts are filled with all kinds of doubts and unanswered questions. As such, I think it"s time for us to talk to Thunder Monkey King, a member of our Five Royal Clans."
"Let"s see if Thunder Monkey King is open to giving us an answer!"
With a snicker at the corner of her mouth, Connie turned the camera around, pointed at the ocean, and called Thunder Monkey King.
D*mn it!
This move forced Thunder Monkey King and the Five Royal Clans into a dead end. Both accepting and not accepting the request was not a good idea.
As someone from an ordinary foreign race that they despised, the Golden Lion King"s s.h.i.+p got first place. She had completely suppressed them.
Even if she did not insult them, the Five Royal Clans would be humiliated if they accepted the call.
Not to mention they also found it very difficult to answer the question that Golden Lion King had asked.
They did communicate with the humans, but one could not say that they colluded with humans, as they really did not do anything that crossed over the line.
However, the point was that…
They really could not use words to explain all this. If they wanted to say that they did not collude with the humans, they would need to show proof!
However, if they did not accept the call… Going by Connie"s words, doing so meant that they were basically admitting that they were guilty of colluding with humans and betraying the foreign races.
To the current foreign races, this was no longer a trivial matter!
After experiencing the "credibility crisis" that came with their statement of killing Old Devil Su, the Five Royal Clans were now incredibly cautious when it came to safeguarding their credibility, as they were afraid that their plans would not be carried out as planned.
Even though Connie was not being aggressive at this point, the Royal Clans began to discuss and vote on whether they should accept the call or not.
The result was very typical of the "animal world"!
Except for Thunder Monkey King, who voted against it, the other four Royal Clans voted for it!
When it came to benefits, they could stand on the same side; defending one another, and baring their teeth and claws at the enemy.
However, if one of their own wanted to harm their benefits, the others would show no mercy, making their animal-like, barbaric cruelty evident.
Anyway, it was Thunder Monkey King who would be humiliated this time. This had nothing to do with them, so what reason was there for them to be afraid?
Anyway, it was Thunder Monkey King"s own s.h.i.+p which had attracted so much attention. Their own sand s.h.i.+ps were fine, so they had nothing to be afraid of!
With that thought in mind, the four Royal Clans turned their attention to the live broadcast stream after voting, looking forward to what would happen next.
What they did not know was that an invisible "rift" had appeared between the Royal Clans for the first time from this moment onward!
The call connected quickly. After Thunder Monkey King chose to agree, his face was displayed on the screen before the chat could erupt.
At the same time, behind him, the Thunderbolt, which had made him prideful for an entire night, also appeared in everyone"s view.
"Thunder Monkey King, you have quite a nice s.h.i.+p! Weren"t you quite proud of it last night? Why do you have such a frown on your face now? You look like your mother died!"
She humiliated him further!
Looking at Thunder Monkey King"s frown, Connie laughed lightly and said out loud the genuine thoughts of all the people among the ordinary foreign races.
At this moment, even Su Mo, who was watching them from inside the bridge, could not help but let out a loud laugh.
The previous night, this Thunder Monkey King had laughed so happily that his face had looked like a rotten chrysanthemum as he boasted about making humans his slaves.
If this idiot dared to boast so loudly within the attacking range of Hope One, Su Mo would definitely not be stingy with firing his ammo.
Now, as Connie kept on firing verbal shots, and as Thunder Monkey King was increasingly humiliated, Su Mo slapped his hand on the armrest beside him and quickly looked toward the comments screen to see what the people among the foreign races were talking about.
At present, the emotions of about 80% of the people in the comments screen had been completely stirred up.
They asked the Five Royal Clans to give them an explanation; to tell them where their s.h.i.+ps came from and also the extent of their relations.h.i.+p with the humans.
Most of these foreign races had a strength rating that was below 3. Although it was low, the group of them were still a force to be reckoned with.
Of the remaining 20% of people, 10% of them had strength ratings between 3 and 8. They were the backbone of the foreign races.
This group of people did not speak up and support Connie, but they did not support the Five Royal Clans either.
As a neutral faction, they always paid attention to the changing trends. They would support whoever won. On the contrary, they would not mind stepping on whoever lost.
The remaining people who were not part of the 90% were the firm royalists.
No matter what topics Connie brought up, they only had one thing to say.
We believe in the Five Royal Clans!
Su Mo shook his head at those people and did not try to intervene. He continued to let things slide.
They were totally stubborn and could not be persuaded. So what?
It was fine. He would just get rid of them all.
This was not the civilized era. Things were not as simple as during his past life on Earth, where saying things like "I believe in him" and "he is surely innocent" on the Internet would suffice.
While Connie and Thunder Monkey King were still arguing, Su Mo did not stay idle. He pulled out a notebook and started taking down notes.
The Nine Ding Yanxiang Bear firmly supported the pig, and he also insulted Old Devil Su once. Kill!
The Decayed Flesh Ice Tiger, who was the Cursed Tiger"s eldest cousin, talked non-stop, did not watch the live broadcast stream properly, and was not capable of anything other than insulting people. Kill!
The Divine Strength Ice Ape was one of Thunder Monkey King"s distant relatives. The two families were so close with each other that they practically wore the same pants.
What? He wanted to smash Hope One with his own hands?
"Sure, I"ll bring you here myself and let you try to smash it!" Su Mo thought.
Snowy Steelwood Badger was an idiot with a terribly long name and a strength rating of less than 0.1. Yet somehow he had the nerve to act as the Royal Clans" lackey. Up onto the list he goes!
Phantom Light Crocodile, with a strength rating of 8.8, came out to support Connie. "Good. If I meet you, I"ll spare your life and have you pull the s.h.i.+p for me!"
…
One by one, Su Mo wrote down the names of those people who made "prominent" statements in the comments and their corresponding crimes or accolades in the notebook.
As the battle between Connie and Thunder Monkey King reached its climax, and then descended into chaos again, the time outside had also reached about 6:30 pm.
The sun hanging in the sky had gradually set, but the live broadcast was still as hyped up as if the sun had not gone down. Even though the room already had two million and one hundred thousand viewers, the numbers continued growing.
After close to two hours of cursing, Thunder Monkey King had obviously let himself go wild.
At the beginning, the two of them had started by discussing the status quo of the wasteland, before proceeding to argue about the Five Royal Clans and their cooperative efforts with humans. Now they were just cursing at each other like crazy.
At this stage, Thunder Monkey King brought up the previous few excellent achievements of the Thunder Monkey clan from when they first arrived at the wasteland and boasted about them.
Connie did not hold back in her response either. She talked about the records from a hundred thousand years ago, when the lion clan was still a Royal Clan.
Both of them did not surrender.
The endless battle continued. Su Mo was about to remind Connie not to forget the main subject when the Thunder Monkey King on the other side seemed to have received a message, as he suddenly changed his tone, "Golden Lion King…"
"Golden Lion King, didn"t you call us the humans" lapdogs, and say that we worked with them to build s.h.i.+ps?"
"Then what do you have to say about your s.h.i.+p? Was it built by you, Golden Lion King?"
Before his side could even pull out a knife, the enemy had bared their necks to them first.
When presented with such a wonderful opportunity, Connie continued, despite the hoa.r.s.eness in her voice, "Hmph, I knew that you"d eventually ask that, silly monkey."
"That"s right, this s.h.i.+p was built by the humans, but it was my husband who discovered and unearthed it!"
"As for you cowards? I"m afraid you won"t ever have the courage to explore the ruins in your entire lifetime!"
Only humans, who were ignorant and fearless, had the courage to enter the ruins.
Other races, including those that Oreo and Moore belonged to, had a natural fear of the ruins and did not dare step into them.
At this moment, hearing that the Golden Lion King"s husband had actually dared to step into the ruins, Thunder Monkey King laughed contemptuously, "You"re lying. With your strength rating of 3.8, you"re telling me that you entered the ruins?"
"The flagpole beside you isn"t your husband, is it? From what I see, I think it won"t be able to satisfy you!"
"Stop pretending, Connie, it"s you who is the humans" lapdog." The Thunder Monkey King was smug as he spoke mockingly with malice, as if he had stumbled upon Connie"s Achilles" heel.
However, the next second, under the gaze of all the people among the ordinary foreign races, the Thunder Monkey King looked as if he had been strangled, even before he could finish his sentence. His face suddenly contorted violently and he stopped speaking.
At the top of the Thunder Monkey King"s head, his handful of white hair, symbolizing force and authority, began to crackle with lightning, as the sound of thunder echoed in the sea breeze.
At the same time, his hair also seemed to have been jolted by electricity, standing erect.
His hair was jolted?
The Thunder Monkey King"s strength was ranked second among the Five Royal Clans, with a superb rating of 13.6.
What could possibly make him afraid to the point that he had to use force to deter his opponent?
Following the Thunder Monkey King"s gaze, everyone"s gazes turned curiously to Connie"s screen.
Wow....
The comments area was quiet!
At this moment, no one was banned from commenting, and there was no lag…
At this moment, a pair of eyes that glowed scarlet and possessed a hint of murderous energy was deeply imprinted in their minds.
At this moment, everyone saw the reason why the Golden Lion King was so confident!
In the corner of Connie"s live broadcast screen, with the sun about to set in the background, everyone saw a scene that they would never forget.
It was a lion.
It was a really strong male lion!
His hand held a spear that reflected the light of the rippling water.
Behind him was a bright red and blood-like sunset.
His eyes were imbued with an aura of tyranny that could not be concealed by the great sun.
The large mane on his neck moved even when no wind was blowing!
He seemed.
He seemed to be suppressing too much fury!
He....
Who was he?
