Zhao Hai understood what Zhao Qian meant. Zhao Qian was saying that he just felt familiar with these three warriors but didn't recognize them, and he still couldn't remember anything.

He looked around the camp again but found nothing unusual. Jialan was still there, talking grandly with the Shi Ling brothers, as if they were now very confident.

If they were to use their current strength to deal with Zhao Hai's public identity, it would indeed be enough. Zhao Hai's public identity was that of a black mage, and Jialan was an eighth-level light mage, the nemesis of black mages. Although Green had shown his skills when asking for Lara, it should be remembered that Jialan also had three high-level warriors. Even if they couldn't defeat Green, they could at least hold him off.

With the addition of the Shi Ling brothers, they could also deal with Merlin. It seemed they had a good chance of success, which was why Jialan appeared so confident.

Zhao Hai didn't switch the screen to another place. Although Jialan and the others were just talking nonsense, the entire camp was only worth paying attention to here; there was nothing noteworthy about the others.

Zhao Hai and the others were also waiting. They could only act when it got dark. Jialan and the others were also waiting, but they seemed to have more time.

Just as Zhao Hai and the others were watching Jialan and the others chat about useless things, a voice suddenly came from outside Jialan's tent: "Report."

Jialan and the other three fell silent. Jialan said in a deep voice, "Come in."

A black-clad assassin walked in, bowed to Jialan, and handed him a piece of paper. Without waiting for Jialan to say anything, he turned and left the tent.

This behavior was very impolite, but strangely, Jialan didn't get angry at all. One of the Shi Ling brothers, however, snorted and said in a deep voice, "The assassins of the Vanser family really have no manners. We came to help them remove a major threat in their territory, but they act so high and mighty. It's only because Mr. Jialan has a good temper; otherwise, they would have been taught a lesson long ago."

Jialan smiled slightly and said, "This time, we came to deal with Zhao Hai, and the Vanser family has provided a lot of help. However, their calculations are also quite good. They let us do the dirty work while they only provide some intelligence and send out some assassins. They don't want to make too much of a fuss, in case we fail and Zhao Hai escapes, and he comes to seek revenge. Haha, the Duke of Vanser is really getting better at calculating."

When Zhao Hai and Green heard the three men's conversation, they couldn't help but be stunned. Green snorted and said, "It seems the Vanser family is no good. This attack really has something to do with them."

Just as he finished speaking, Jialan's voice came again, "Indeed, Zhao Hai's high-level warrior subordinate won't return to the Rocky Mountains until tomorrow. It seems we can't act tonight and will have to wait until tomorrow night."

One of the Shi Ling brothers said, "It's strange. Why did Zhao Hai buy so many rabbits? And the cheapest blue-eyed rabbits at that. What's his purpose?"

Jialan frowned and snorted, "Strange and twisted. Who knows what he's up to? Maybe he wants to use these rabbits to test new poisons."

Zhao Hai and Green sat in front of the screen, watching Jialan and the others. Now that they knew Green hadn't returned, they prepared to rest. Since they had assassins, they wouldn't act until the next day, and the tent became quiet.

Seeing that the tent had become quiet, Zhao Hai said, "It seems the image of black mages on the continent is really not good. These guys actually say we're going to use those rabbits for experiments. But that's good. They're waiting for one night, which gives us enough time to act. Haha, Duke Vanser, you want to use us to kill, but you didn't expect that we have a space, and we've heard your plans. We may not be able to find out who's behind Jialan, but knowing Duke Vanser is enough."

Green nodded and said, "Yes, it's enough. The Vanser family is now guarding the entrance and exit of the Black Earth Wasteland, which is the biggest threat to us. Although we have a space and don't need to worry, it's still a big problem. But we don't have enough power now to solve this problem. When we have enough power, the first thing we'll deal with is the Vanser family."

Merlin looked at Green and repeated what Zhao Hai had been worried about. After hearing it, Green laughed and said, "Young Master, don't worry. With the space and you, as long as we have a few decades, we can get enough power from the Corpse Swamp. Then we can destroy the Vanser family and take over the Vanser Principality. Even if we tell those people about the situation in the Black Earth Wasteland, what can they do? And Young Master, don't forget that in a few decades, Mu Tou, Shi Tou, and Meg will have grown up, and we can cultivate more talents. As long as those talents grow up, even if something happens to you, the Buda family won't be afraid of anyone. The reason we lost so badly this time is that we didn't expect those old noble families to be so ruthless and kill the old master directly. Now that we are prepared, it won't be so easy for them to do anything to the Buda family. Merlin and I are not pushovers."

Zhao Hai was still a bit worried and said, "But if those people really find out about the Black Earth Wasteland, they will surely unite to deal with us. Even if we are strong enough, we might not be able to withstand their attack."

Green sneered and said, "Young Master, you're overestimating those people. They are a bunch of money-grubbing, stingy guys. If they dare to unite, we will deal with them one by one. Once they feel the pain, they won't dare to reach out again. How did those old noble families develop? They developed by making others feel the pain. Once they feel the pain, they will recognize your strength."

Hearing this, Zhao Hai's eyes lit up, and he laughed, "Right, Grandpa Green is right. It seems our previous thoughts were too pessimistic. Hahaha."

It's not surprising that Zhao Hai had such pessimistic thoughts. In his heart, he was just a little shut-in from Earth. The characteristic of a shut-in is to be very cautious, or in other words, timid. Because of this, after receiving Adam's memories and understanding the power of the great nobles, he was subconsciously very afraid and didn't want to confront them. He just wanted to farm and let himself and his descendants stay in the Black Earth Wasteland, never thinking that one day he could break out of the Black Earth Wasteland and stand proudly before the world, forcing the world to recognize his existence.

But what Green said opened a completely different window for Zhao Hai, showing him another way out. Yes, why think so much? He wouldn't have any problems for a while. Once his strength was enough, he wouldn't need their recognition; they would have to recognize him whether they wanted to or not.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hai couldn't help but sigh, "If only the Void Water could be cured."

As soon as he thought this, the space prompt sounded, "To remove the genetic defect in the host's body, the host needs to be over level 20 and have the processing plant activated."

Zhao Hai and everyone in the room were stunned. Zhao Hai had only thought it in his mind, so Green and the others didn't know what he was thinking. They were very surprised by this sudden sentence and didn't understand what it meant.

They didn't know, but Zhao Hai did. He clearly understood what it meant. He hadn't expected that the Void Water would cause a genetic defect, which was why he couldn't learn magic or martial arts. But what made him happy was that once he reached level 20, he could activate the processing plant and fix this genetic defect.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hai couldn't help but laugh. Green and the others looked at him in confusion. After a while, when Zhao Hai's emotions calmed down a bit, Green asked, "Young Master, what did that voice mean? What are you laughing about?"

Zhao Hai calmed down a bit but still had a smile on his face. "I was thinking about how to solve the problem of the Void Water in my body, and then the space prompt came."

Hearing this, Green and the others, who were not fools, were momentarily stunned but quickly understood. Green and Merlin stood up at the same time and looked at Zhao Hai, "Young Master, does this mean...?"

Zhao Hai nodded, "Yes, once I reach level 20, there will be a way to solve the problem of the Void Water in my body."

Green looked at Zhao Hai in disbelief, "Young Master, you're not joking?
