"My condition is… to have a fight with you."
"If I win, everything will be led by me. If I lose, I will become your 'middleman.'"
The reason why Blue Demon said this was actually also because of the arrogance in his heart.
Although Blue Demon often blamed himself regarding the survival issues of animals and monsters, he had never doubted his own strength.
At least from the time Blue Demon was born until now, he had encountered so many different kinds of opponents and had never lost.
Although Blue Demon was very clear that in the main world, he might not be Xu Yuan's opponent,
But in this Trial Land, everyone was equal, and what depended on was basic skills.
Blue Demon's basic skills were good enough, and this was also the source of his confidence.
If it was really like the rumors said, that the person who won the Trial Land could obtain the power to rule the world,
Then why should he hand over this opportunity to others?
Even if his strength in the main world was inferior to HIM, when he finally won the trial, his strength would also be far above HIM.
If Blue Demon could defeat Xu Yuan in the Trial Land, it would prove that his basic skills were superior to Xu Yuan's.
After obtaining the power to rule the world, naturally he would become even stronger.
If Blue Demon could win the trial, he could also become a qualified arbiter, and he also could implement the plan Xu Yuan talked about.
So Blue Demon wanted to give it a try, to see whether he had this qualification.
The main point was, Blue Demon previously had no clue about the development of the animals and monsters. Now Xu Yuan had provided a direction, and with Blue Demon's rule and strategy, it was enough to complete the subsequent deployment.
That was why he wanted to compete with Xu Yuan.
Hearing Blue Demon's words, the people behind Black Blade instantly bristled.
"You really have made your abacus ring loudly, huh?! If you win, all things are led by you? That means, the ideas My King provided would directly become yours, right?"
"Exactly, why? If it wasn't for My King putting forward this idea, would you all in this Trial Land have any way to survive?!"
"My King kindly helped you, and this matter hasn't even started yet, and you already start thinking about grabbing the credit?!"
The people under Black Blade naturally stood on Xu Yuan's side. Seeing the condition proposed by Blue Demon was unfair to Xu Yuan, they were all indignantly stepping out to protest.
At this moment, the players behind Black Blade were all impassioned, but Black Blade himself was exceptionally calm.
Before the players could mutter a few sentences, Black Blade interrupted in a low voice.
"All of you shut up."
Hearing Black Blade's words, the subordinates were a bit silenced. They didn't understand why Black Blade wouldn't let them keep speaking.
Blue Demon's proposal was clearly unfair to Xu Yuan.
While the players were wondering, they saw Black Blade turn around, lower his voice and say. "Would My King lose?"
Black Blade had enough confidence in Xu Yuan. He didn't think at all that Xu Yuan would lose.
So when his subordinates were talking about all the unfairness in Blue Demon's condition, he had them shut up.
Their words were just like saying Xu Yuan would lose.
Originally, Black Blade could directly tell the players his thoughts and also happen to curb Blue Demon's sharpness.
But he still lowered his voice, trying his best not to let Blue Demon hear his words.
This also proved that Black Blade handled matters very smoothly.
He was very clear that in the future he would definitely work with Blue Demon, and this bit of face still needed to be left for Blue Demon.
Moreover, Black Blade actually quite admired Blue Demon. After knowing Xu Yuan HIM's identity, he still had the courage to propose to fight him.
This also proved that Blue Demon had enough confidence in himself.
Although Blue Demon did not hear Black Blade's words, the words of Black Blade's subordinates still fell into Blue Demon's ears.
Blue Demon actually knew very well that the condition he raised was a bit excessive, but he really did want to fight for it.
He originally thought Xu Yuan would negotiate the terms with him.
But he didn't expect Xu Yuan didn't even think about it and immediately agreed.
"Alright."
Hearing Xu Yuan agree to the duel proposal without even thinking, Blue Demon, who was originally quite confident, instantly felt a bit stunned.
Blue Demon naturally knew that the proposal he raised was unfair to Xu Yuan.
Even those people under Xu Yuan could see it. Xu Yuan could not possibly not see it.
But Xu Yuan still agreed right away, enough to show that he was confident enough in himself, thinking he absolutely would not lose.
So he completely did not consider what the option would be after losing.
Thinking of this, Blue Demon in his heart actually felt a bit uncertain.
'Seems I must handle this carefully…'
Thinking of this, Blue Demon looked behind him, ready to have his subordinate animals and monsters clear the field to make it convenient for him and Xu Yuan to fight.
Xu Yuan, however, interrupted him.
"No rush about fighting for now."
Blue Demon was a bit puzzled and said. "Hmm?"
Xu Yuan looked at Blue Demon, shrugged and said, "You have no objections to the 'setting rules' plan I proposed. No matter what the result of the duel is, it won't change this proposal."
"The players have already started to explore everywhere. I believe before long, quite a few players will step into here."
"The most urgent task at present is definitely to first implement this proposal."
Matters definitely needed to have priorities. Since Blue Demon had agreed to Xu Yuan's proposal, then Xu Yuan naturally hoped to implement his proposal before the first group of players arrived here.
Of course the earlier the proposal was implemented, the better.
Right now players still didn't have enough resources and were easily satisfied.
As long as food was provided to them, they were very likely to obey the rules.
Hearing Xu Yuan's words, Blue Demon immediately felt somewhat ashamed.
He also hadn't thought that his competitiveness would make him confuse priorities.
Blue Demon awkwardly nodded and said, "Mm…"
"As for the situation on the players' side, you will be in charge. Then what do we need to do?"
But thanks to Xu Yuan's reminder, although Blue Demon knew the concept of Xu Yuan's 'setting rules', he still didn't know all the details of 'setting rules.'
To establish a new rule certainly needed many details to be perfected.
Blue Demon had never imagined such a method before, so naturally he also didn't know what should be done.
Seeing this, Xu Yuan thought for a moment and then began to explain, "The defense work of the rainforest you all have been doing is quite good. If it weren't for Black Blade and them leading the way, I also wouldn't have so easily gotten in."
"In the future, defense work should focus on the outermost parts of the rainforest and the areas where it borders other regions."
Since the new rules were just established, there would certainly be people who did not believe and would break the rules.
Those who broke the rules must be punished at the first moment.
Only this way could other players understand that this was serious and not child's play.
Hearing Xu Yuan's words, Blue Demon pondered for a moment, then nodded and said.
"Mm, on the outermost part I will dispatch stronger people to go over."
"But… regarding manpower perhaps…"
Blue Demon hadn't finished speaking when Black Blade next to him stepped out proactively and said, "We can help."
Blue Demon's meaning was actually already very obvious.
In the rainforest area there was simply no problem of manpower shortage. From the moment Black Blade and them entered the rainforest, their position was detected, it could be understood that the troops within the rainforest could cover the whole rainforest.
The reason why Blue Demon still said this was probably also because he considered the safety of his own people and also wanted to make Xu Yuan completely bind together with them.
If the outer rainforest was only guarded by the animals and monsters, then if a player broke the rules later,
To punish the player, the ones fighting with them would be the animals and monsters.
For Blue Demon, this would definitely be a risk.
This risk he did not want only animals and monsters to bear.
Moreover, the one who put forward this proposal was Xu Yuan. The people under Xu Yuan naturally also had to participate.
The players all knew Black Blade's identity. As long as Black Blade came forward, the probability that players would obey the rules would greatly increase.
After all, the players were somewhat apprehensive about HIM.
In this Trial Land, Black Blade could represent HIM's stance and could also let the players understand clearly who planned this matter.
Seeing Black Blade proactively step out, Blue Demon seemed to have no objection anymore.
Seeing this, Xu Yuan helplessly smiled.
Actually, even if Blue Demon didn't mention it, Xu Yuan would still have Black Blade and them join in.
After all, when the new rules were first established, Black Blade was the best candidate to be the arbiter.
Just as Blue Demon thought, Black Blade represented Xu Yuan.
If not for the monk's sake, then for the Buddha's.
So the players would more or less be concerned and the probability of them obeying the rules would increase.
Moreover, Xu Yuan had long thought about it.
If there were people who did not obey the rules, Xu Yuan was also prepared to have Black Blade act as the arbiter to punish the players.
He would not let the people under Blue Demon make a move.
This way, even if the players held resentment, they would not blame Blue Demon and them.
Nor would it again deepen the hatred between the two camps.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan also straightforwardly said, "The people under you only need to take on intelligence work."
"If you show yourselves to fight the players, it will only make misunderstandings and hatred deepen."
"If there are people who do not obey the rules, let Black Blade and them solve it."
Xu Yuan's words could be regarded as giving Blue Demon a reassurance pill.
Seeing Blue Demon had no objection, Xu Yuan looked at Black Blade and said, "Select a group of people to go to the rainforest periphery, and leave a few to build the farm."
After Black Blade nodded in agreement, Xu Yuan again looked at Blue Demon and said, "The rest of your people just help manage the farm."
"At present food is the players' most urgent need. Food is the easiest item to complete transactions."
Blue Demon nodded and said, "Okay, at present the only thing we can take out for exchange is also food."
