As Xiao Mo was about to exit the [World Chat Channel], another string of help messages popped up.
And all the help messages were directed at him.
[Urgent Rescue! Urgent Rescue! @Qian Mo Boss! We are a team of lone travelers, on our way to join you, captured by a group of dwarves, and are now being escorted to the Dwarf Kingdom! Qian Mo Boss, please come and save us!]
[Qian Mo Boss! Qian Mo Boss! I don't want to be a sacrifice! I don't want to die yet! Qian Mo Boss, help!]
[Qian Mo! We are coming to join you, are you just going to ignore us like this?]
[Most importantly, we are all scapegoats! Those dwarves were clearly investigating the Immortal and Demon tribe for information and wanted to cause trouble for them. It just so happened that we inadvertently stepped into a minefield for you!]
[Exactly! Qian Mo Boss, we are taking the blame for you. If you refuse to help, will you be able to sleep soundly at night?]
[@Qian Mo Boss! Urgent rescue!]
[Save me...]
[Damn! These guys are still so active even after being captured!]
[Sigh! These guys are quite pathetic! Three minutes of silence!]
[No kidding! Not only did they fail to join Qian Mo Boss, but they were even captured by the Dwarf Kingdom, Qian Mo Boss's enemy! What incredible luck... tsk tsk! Awesome!]
[Wait! Why would the Dwarf Kingdom cause trouble for Qian Mo Boss?]
[Do you even need to ask such a brainless question? It must be because Qian Mo Boss killed too many dwarves when he conquered the Dwarf Tribe, causing the Dwarf Kingdom's hatred to soar!]
[Yes! Killing intelligent beings of local factions will increase the hatred of that race! A friend of mine killed too many werewolves, and now the werewolf kingdom's hatred has exploded. He's been put on a kill list and is living in constant fear!]
[Actually, I think it would be best if Qian Mo Boss went to rescue those lone travelers! After all, they were on their way to join the Immortal and Demon tribe! Whether from a moral standpoint or conscience, the Immortal and Demon tribe has an obligation to save them!]
[Scram!! The person above is a typical do-gooder! Idiot!]
[Another brainless defender of righteousness! Why should Qian Mo Boss save them? What does their capture have to do with Qian Mo Boss?]
[That's right! They shamelessly went to join Qian Mo Boss; it wasn't like Qian Mo Boss invited them! They deserve to be captured!]
[Most importantly, no one is foolish enough to go to war with the Dwarf Kingdom for a few lone travelers!]
[Hmph! I am also a lone traveler! Let me say something fair! If Qian Mo has no loyalty and refuses to help, who will join him in the future? If that's the case, our entire Lone Traveler Alliance will collectively and resolutely boycott the Immortal and Demon Tribe!]
[Agreed with the person above!]
[+1]
[Oh, oh, oh! Another one talking big! As if Qian Mo Boss ever welcomed you!]
[Brother! Think before you speak! Collectively boycott the Immortal and Demon Tribe? If we, numerous lords, resolutely support Qian Mo Boss, what are you, a mere Lone Traveler Alliance, compared to us!]
[Hahaha! That's right! I estimate that from today onwards, if you lone travelers dare to appear in the territory of the Immortal and Demon Tribe, you will absolutely be expelled by Qian Mo Boss, and you might even be directly killed by the Immortal and Demon battle team!]
[You're talking nonsense! How dare Qian Mo do something so against heaven and earth!]
[Bah! Don't think too highly of yourselves. Actually, you're at most just a piece of meat!]
[...]
For a time, the public channel devolved into a heated argument between territorial factions and lone traveler factions.
In essence, the core of the argument was whether Qian Mo Boss should go and rescue those lone travelers who were captured on their way to join the Immortal and Demon Tribe.
Moreover, in just a few sentences, the argument had escalated to the highest point of righteousness and morality.
In any case, within a moment, the [World Chat Channel] became lively.
As for Xiao Mo, who was at the center of the storm, he merely sneered disdainfully and closed the chat channel.
For him to go and rescue those lone travelers?
These people must still be dreaming!
If these lone travelers had decent character, Xiao Mo might have considered it.
However, he had already learned from Mo Jingjing that as soon as these lone travelers were captured, they sold out the Immortal and Demon Tribe to those dwarves.
With such character, did they expect him to rescue them?
That would be a fool's dream.
It was already merciful of him not to have the Immortal and Demon battle team simply slaughter those lone travelers!
After closing the chat channel, Xiao Mo saw that the two friend avatars in his friend list were blinking red.
To this day, he had only added two friends.
One was naturally the little brat from the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and the other was the beautiful female lord from [Miyue Ice City]—Lin Mi.
The little brat was clearly here to gossip about whether he would go and rescue those lone travelers.
"Big Brother, will you go and rescue those lone travelers?"
Xiao Mo: "Why should I go and rescue them? What business is it of mine!"
Little Brat: "Oh~ Then if I were captured, would Big Brother come and save me?"
Xiao Mo: "Firstly, you need to learn to protect yourself. A man should not always rely on others!"
"Secondly! You are my Qian Mo's subordinate. Whoever dares to touch you, I will have their entire nine generations ground into dust!"
Little Brat: "Oh yeah! Following a good big brother is great! I'll be able to walk sideways on the future Primordial Continent! Haha..."
After the little brat's happiness, he began to boast to Xiao Mo about his recent gains.
This was routine, and Xiao Mo was accustomed to it, prepared for the blow.
"Big Brother, I have already built the blueprint for the Goblin Palace that dropped from the beast tide! Today, many, many goblins have suddenly appeared at the Goblin Home!"
Seeing this message, Xiao Mo was a little stunned.
"Are all these goblins here to join you?"
This little brat had told him about the function of the [Goblin Palace], which could greatly increase the probability of goblins actively joining.
But a great increase did not mean instant joining!
His [Immortal and Demon Sacred Hall] could also greatly increase the chance of Immortal and Demon bloodline races joining, yet there was still no movement.
Xiao Mo was truly speechless about this little brat's god-like luck.
"Not all of them came to join; a large portion came to admire the palace, and a small portion stayed! Oh, and an old goblin grandpa even older than Grandpa Tarrens came down!"
Xiao Mo was stunned again, his heart inexplicably twitched.
"What kind of old grandpa is this again? What is his strength?"
The old grandpa mentioned last time was Tarrens, a tenth-tier King-class low-grade goblin warrior.
Now another old grandpa even older than Tarrens had appeared.
It seemed that whether in novels, TV shows, or reality, magical old grandpas were always extremely formidable existences!
As expected, the little brat's next words caused Xiao Mo's heart to pause for a moment, and his mouth twitched as if he had a stroke.
"I don't know this old grandpa's strength, but he told me that with him guarding the Goblin Palace, I only need to focus on developing my strength! Moreover, I found that Grandpa Tarrens was very respectful to him and called him something like 'Lord Monarch'."
Xiao Mo's mouth opened, and he felt a cold wind blow into his throat, then seeped into his heart. His heart instantly turned cold, chilling him to the bone...
