Everyone was shocked by Ding Meng's' snorting through his nostrils', especially the generals of the Frog Clan. They all lowered their heads and didn't say a word.
Lei Dun looked at Ding Meng meaningfully, then slowly stood up. "Let's end the discussion here. Our esteemed guests have just arrived, so you should rest."
With that, he led the generals outside. Mo Danlun hurriedly walked over and said in a low voice, "Sect Master Leng, I hope you won't leave. There is still a second round of talks. Please follow me to the room next door to rest!"
Leng Yin and Xue Yue Shan were baffled by the abrupt end of the discussion. The Frog Race couldn't just stop the discussion just because Ding Meng had taught them a lesson, right?
How narrow-minded.
Ding Meng didn't care. He followed Mo Danlun to a villa not far from the plaza. The metal room was well prepared. At least there were Realm Devouring Immortal Fruits and Empire Pine Cones.
After Mo Danlun left, Ding Meng didn't hold back at all. He started to gobble up the food and chewed happily.
Leng Yin obviously wasn't in such a good mood. "Commander Lei and the others can't really expect our lord to send out troops, right?"
Xue Yue Mountain analyzed, "We definitely can't send out troops. At most, we can lend them one or two sacred lakes to refine some poison."
Leng Yin immediately said, "The sacred lakes of the Flame Star King Planet can't be touched."
Xue Yue Mountain agreed. "We can let them use the small lakes at the border …"
…
The two of them analyzed. Ding Meng couldn't help but laugh. "You're both wrong."
Xue Yue Mountain hurriedly said, "Ding Meng, how do you think the discussion should proceed?"
Ding Meng tossed a blue fruit into his mouth. "Elder, Sect Master, you two can rest here. Commander Lei and the others won't look for you again."
Leng Yin said, "What do you mean?"
Ding Meng said, "I don't mean anything else. You two can leave the Frogmen Kingdom now, but I want to stay. I can't leave even if I want to."
Xue Yue Mountain was a bit nervous. "They won't cause you trouble, right?"
Leng Yin's tone became cold. "Ding Meng, don't worry. Elder and I will stand by your side."
Ding Meng smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but there's really no need for that. I guarantee that someone will come looking for me later."
Leng Yin said suspiciously, "Did you sense something?"
"Sigh …" Ding Meng sighed. He really didn't know how to explain.
Earlier, when Zhong Yu greeted him, Ding Meng suddenly felt a chill. His hair immediately stood on end. It wasn't that he hadn't experienced this feeling before. He had experienced it when he was on Azure Tree Planet. It felt like there was a pair of invisible eyes spying on him in the wind. However, when he turned around, there was nothing behind him.
At that moment, he determined that there must be a very strong person among the frogmen, but this person wasn't present.
The following meeting wouldn't lead to anything because the core person of the meeting wasn't present. Therefore, all he had to do was wait patiently.
Night slowly fell in Sacred Star City. At seven o 'clock at night, the sky turned completely dark. Mo Danlun came back with a happy look on his face.
"Mr. Ding Meng, the commander wants to see you!"
Leng Yin and Xue Yue Mountain looked at each other and hurriedly asked, "General Mo, do you need us to go?"
Mo Danlun showed an apologetic expression. "I'm sorry. The commander only asked me to inform Mr. Ding Meng to go."
Ding Meng nodded. "Please lead the way!"
At this moment, there were no more frogmen guarding the square. Only Raydon stood in the center alone without a single follower.
When he saw Ding Meng arrive, Raydon just gestured to the palace behind him. "Let's go!"
Ding Meng didn't say much and just followed behind him. Surprisingly, Mo Danlun didn't follow either.
This palace was similar to the temple of the Azure Tree Tribe. They both had three floors. The hall on the first floor was obviously the battle command center. There were all kinds of control panels and facilities, but now it was empty.
The control panel of the frogmen was a biomechanical simulation. It was completely different from the control panel of the Federation.
At first glance, the control panel looked like a black machine, but when Raydon's claw pressed on a groove in the corner, many black iron fragments were produced inside the machine. This wasn't real steel, but a fusion of special metals and biological fibers. It could be changed and combined into any model you wanted. Its function was the same as a hologram.
Although this thing was big and black, it was good in its image, visual, and realistic.
Raydon was controlling the control panel. Ding Meng could see that he was activating the control panel. Not long after, a floor in the center of the palace cracked open, and a mechanical shuttle ladder rose.
Raydon reached out his hand and said, "Please!"
The two entered the shuttle ladder, and the floor closed again. Ding Meng didn't expect the command center to have such a thing. It seemed that only high-level frogmen could enter.
The shuttle ladder descended slowly. Through the thick crystallized glass, they could see the operation of each floor. Countless frogmen were at their posts. Some were training on the simulator, some were recovering in petri dishes, some were doing experiments on the workbench, and some were making weapons on the production line … In short, everyone was doing their job in an orderly manner.
Ding Meng sighed. "You frogmen really are a disciplined race."
Raydon seemed to be sighing as well. "Our frogmen nation doesn't have the advanced technology of the Federal Empire. We can only make up for the lack of technology with the advantage of manpower. Otherwise, we would have been defeated in the Fertile Chalk System many years ago."
Ding Meng couldn't help but admire them. Unity was strength. This phrase was vividly reflected in the frogmen.
As the shuttle ladder continued to descend, Ding Meng finally arrived at the bottom of the giant pyramid that was Sacred Star City. The scene in front of him was shocking.
This was a completely dark and chaotic world. It could also be said that it was a giant latrine. However, in this latrine, there were black buildings that looked like electric towers. There were hundreds of such buildings, and one couldn't see the end of them.
Raydon explained, "These are screening machines."
"Screening machines?" Ding Meng was curious.
Raydon said, "You'll understand if you take a closer look!"
Ding Meng expanded his telekinetic vision and found that the bottom floor was completely submerged by a very thick black water. All the screening machines were standing in the black water. When he expanded his vision into the microscopic world, Ding Meng was shocked to find that the water was filled with tiny insect eggs. The number was indescribable; it was infinite.
Raydon sighed. "From your human evolutionary point of view, these are frog eggs. After they are screened by the screening machines, only one in ten thousand of them will be transported to the top. Then, they will begin to absorb nutrients and become large eggs, tadpoles, frogs, and finally, members of the frogmen. This is the origin of the frogmen's kingdom."
Ding Meng said calmly, "Does the commander trust me that much?
I can even see the secrets of the frogmen? "
Raydon laughed. "Mr. Ting, you're wrong. We don't trust you as a person, but your strength. As long as you have strength, you will be respected anywhere in the frogmen's kingdom."
Ding Meng nodded. Raydon's performance was completely within his expectations.
However, the shuttle ladder was still descending. Ding Meng was finally curious. This was already the bottom floor of the frogmen's kingdom. Was there another world below?
As expected, the shuttle ladder moved for another three minutes before stopping. This was a metal palace that was exactly the same as the headquarters, but there was one more thing. There was a giant frog statue embedded in the northern steel wall.
This was the most realistic statue Ding Meng had ever seen. A green frog stood. Its whole body was obviously made of metal, but its eyes were bright. It was no different from a living frog.
Lei Dun finally showed a solemn expression, "The King wants to see you!"
"The king?" Ding Meng wondered if this was the legendary mother. "But I don't see anyone!"
"Hello, Ding Meng!"
A faint voice sounded in the palace. The voice was neither male nor female, low and hoarse, like a call from a distant world.
Ding Meng was shocked. He realized that the voice was coming from the statue.
Raydon had already knelt down in front of the statue. It was obviously the mother.
Ding Meng narrowed his eyes. He had already spread out his telekinesis, but the walls had a shielding effect. The telekinesis wave was reflected back. After a careful scan, he determined that the statue was some kind of telepathic device, not the mother's real body.
The statue spoke again. "Rise!"
Raydon raised his head. "Thank you, my king!"
The statue said, "Commander Raydon, please leave for a moment. I have something to discuss with Ding Meng."
"Yes, sir!" Raydon lowered his head and retreated towards the shuttle ladder.
When the door of the shuttle ladder closed, the statue sighed. "I've heard a lot about you, Ding Meng!"
Ding Meng smiled. "I've heard a lot about you too, Mother. Unfortunately, you don't even dare to show yourself!"
The statue said, "I'm right in front of you. Can't you see such a big target?"
Ding Meng smiled. "You're good at scaring your people, but it doesn't work on me. You have a favor to ask of me, but you don't dare to show yourself. I'll say it again. You're not sincere enough. I believe you heard it during the day."
The statue was silent for a long time before sighing. "It seems that the Dark Night Enchantress has a reason for letting you come here."
Ding Meng was slightly stunned. Very few people knew that the Immortal Elemental King had merged with the Dark Night Enchantress, but the mother knew. The mother was not easy to deal with.
At that moment, the air in the center of the palace suddenly surged, and circles of light rippled. A moment later, a face in the shape of light appeared in the air.
It was a frog face, but it was not as scary as the other frogs. Instead, it was a little cute, like a cartoon head. It was very similar to Little Rascal's round face when it was in the form of an AI program.
Although the face looked cute, the energy fluctuations were extremely shocking. This was not the true body of the main body, but a unique phantom created by using energy aura and a race's cultivation technique. Ding Meng had seen such a situation before — the Black Butterfly Demon Empress on the Extreme Flame Planet!
What really surprised Ding Meng was the aura of the frog face. It was a new aura that was a combination of frogs, demons, and Demons.
