Meigen looked at the screen and said, "Brother Hai, should we recall those undead beings and Ironclad Beasts mining in the demon realm? If we don't, they'll discover us."
In the demon realm, there are many types of ores, and right now, Zhao Hai is using Ironclad Beasts and undead beings to mine. While some ores are found on the surface, many of the Ironclad Beasts and undead beings he sent out are still working on the surface. In this situation, it won't be long before Duns and his group discover them, which is why Meigen asked this.
Zhao Hai chuckled and replied, "No need. I'm actually curious to see how they will react when they find those undead beings and Ironclad Beasts. If it really becomes a problem, we can just bring these mecha and war chariots into the space."
Upon hearing Zhao Hai say this, Laura and the others understood that he had set his sights on killing. Although destroying the O'Neill family's mecha and war chariots could attract their attention, there are still some advantages to eliminating this reconnaissance team at this time.
The O'Neill family's attention should be drawn to the Underworld now. If Zhao Hai and the others eliminate this reconnaissance team here, the O'Neill family might panic, but they will certainly not easily give up on the Ark Continent. They will definitely send people again to scout the southern area, which will take a few more days.
Zhao Hai had previously refrained from acting against the O'Neill family because he was worried that if he did, it would scare off their people. He had hoped to gain some benefits from the O'Neill family, not wanting to scare them away just yet.
However, it seemed his worries were a bit excessive now. For the O'Neill family, the allure of the Ark Continent was simply too strong for them to give it up.
While Zhao Hai was focused on this reconnaissance team, the clan leader of the O'Neill family had once again received news from Lushiming and the others, informing him that the black mist generated in the innate yin land was gradually expanding its territory, which put the O'Neill family in a bit of a dilemma.
Previously, they thought the situation in the Underworld was merely a manifestation of the innate yin land. As long as they didn't provoke it, the innate yin land shouldn't pose a threat. But now it seemed that this wasn't the case. The innate yin land here was quite different from that of Atlantis Continent.
The clan leader of the O'Neill family once again summoned the generals to his study to share the news sent back by Lushiming.
Upon hearing this news, the generals were momentarily stunned, and their faces turned pale. This was certainly not good news for the O'Neill family.
The continuous expansion of the black mist in the Underworld meant that it would slowly occupy the entire Ark Continent. Although their family had already made arrangements to deploy Blazing Fire Cannons, whether those cannons could stop the expansion of the black mist was another question.
On Atlantis Continent, Blazing Fire Cannons could deal with the black mist in the innate yin land, but the innate yin land there did not expand. Now that this expanding innate yin land had such a large area, it was questionable how much impact their family’s Blazing Fire Cannons would have.
If the Blazing Fire Cannons proved useless, the situation faced by the O'Neill family would become even more troublesome. The family had invested too much in this action on the Ark Continent. If they had to give up the Ark Continent because of the black mist, it would be a significant blow to the O'Neill family.
The clan leader looked at the generals and said solemnly, "Quiet." His voice was not loud, but everyone present fell silent. His status in the O'Neill family was quite high.
The clan leader glanced at them and said, "What are you panicking for? That black mist won't cover the Ark Continent immediately. Besides, the speed of the black mist's expansion is not fast. Furthermore, our family's Blazing Fire Cannons are about to be transported here, and they might just be able to deal with that black mist. What’s important now is the reconnaissance work in the south. We know too little about the southern part of the Ark Continent. What we need to do is to find out as quickly as possible what benefits the Ark Continent can bring us. In the area we currently occupy, we have already discovered dozens of types of minerals, some of which are in great need by our O'Neill family. The Ark Continent is a massive treasure trove for us, and we cannot give it up. So we need to check the situation in the south. If the southern situation is good, we can develop there fully. While defending against the expanding innate yin land, we can also gradually think of ways to deal with them. Have you not considered that? This expanding innate yin land existed before we arrived at the Ark Continent. So, even if we hadn’t come here, sooner or later, that black mist would drift into our O'Neill family’s territory, putting us in a more passive position. At least now we can be a bit proactive."
