The eight Nether Beasts were scattered around the mountain range. Groups of Godly Spirits flew down from the Nether Beasts and formed a defensive circle around the mountain range.
Although the mountain range was very big, there were so many deities here this time. If they spread out a little, they could easily surround the mountain range.
Since Lu Li and Su Zixi were together, they were assigned to the same team. They were responsible for patrolling an area.
There were two people in front and behind the two people a mile away from them. The defensive circle was very tight.
All the Official Army soldiers had gone deep into the mountains. Only one Official Army soldier was left nearby to hold the line and prevent the god slaves from escaping.
The triangular-eyed Li Qiang entered the depths of the mountain range. Everything seemed normal.
However, Lu Li felt that something was off!
Although it was not the triangular-eyed man who arranged for them to stand here, he and Su Zixi happened to be in charge of a section of the exit.
In other words … if the God Servants of the Sect of the God of Ghost rushed down, they would most likely be the first to bear the brunt.
Two people blocking a 300-meter-long road?
And from the looks of it, this was the main entrance?
There was obviously a deeper meaning to this.
"Brother Su, sorry to implicate you!"
Lu Li forced a smile and said to Su Zixi in a low voice, "When things go wrong, go to the side. I will handle this!"
"Hehe!"
Su Zixi smiled. Looking at Lu Li with dissatisfaction, he said, "Brother Li, who do you think I am?
You're insulting my character. "
"Not at all!"
Lu Li said in a serious tone, "This is only the first wave of attacks. I believe there will be many more waves of attacks. They are coming for me, so it is pointless for you to stay.
Moreover … I have other methods that are inconvenient for you to use here. Brother Su, you should know that if they are born, you will only die if you stay. "
Su Zixi pulled a long face. Lu Li was right. If they were just Followers, he and Lu Li would not be afraid.
However, he was afraid that the Official Army would secretly take advantage of the chaos to attack him. Every Official Army soldier was very powerful. No matter how conceited he was, he would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot if he tried to fight against the Official Army.
It was not easy to ascend to godhood, and no one wanted to die so easily.
He recognized Lu Li as a person, but not to the point where he would die with Lu Li.
He nodded and said, "Don't worry, Brother Li. If the situation isn't right, I'll retreat. Just give it your all."
Lu Li patted Su Zixi's shoulder and said, "Brother Su, I am sorry. My name is not Li Lu. I am Lu Li from the Heaven Reverse Universe.
I had no choice but to hide it from you. I hope you can forgive me. "
"Hehe!"
Su Zixi was not surprised at all. Instead, he grinned. The fact that Lu Li could tell him his real name meant that Lu Li had accepted him completely.
"Woo, woo ~"
"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"
Within the black mist in the mountain range, ghostly wails and wolf howls could be heard, as well as muffled explosions. It was clear that the two sides had begun fighting.
It was a pity that the black fog was billowing inside, and his Spiritual Force was also restricted, so he could not detect what was going on inside.
Lu Li stopped talking to Su Zixi. He stood at the entrance of the path, dejected. His eyes flickered as he thought about all the possible scenarios and how to deal with them.
What made him feel lucky was that Yan Tiangang didn't come. Otherwise, Yan Tiangang would have appeared and killed him easily or taken him away.
Would Commander Ye offend a mighty warrior in the Divinity for a slave?
Since Yan Tiangang was not here, Commander Ye would have to send someone to capture or kill Lu Li secretly. Third-eyed Li Qiang was one of them, and there might be other prefecture warriors.
At most, there would be three or else Yan Tiangang would have to pay a heavy price. It would not be worth it.
By the looks of it, Commander Ye was not involved. Otherwise, Lu Li would not be standing here safely.
With Commander Ye's consent, Li Qiang could capture Lu Li directly and nobody would say anything.
"Later, there will be many Followers coming. Third-eyed or other prefecture warriors will be lurking nearby. They will take me away quietly or kill me directly!"
Lu Li cleared his mind. He used psychic power to check the surroundings, trying to figure out a way out.
He could not fight against prefecture warriors openly. Once he took action against prefecture warriors, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The other prefecture warriors would take action to kill him.
If he did not fight back, was he going to stand here and wait for Third-eyed to kill him?
He thought about it!
Lu Li realized he had only three options. First, he could run away now. Second, when the Followers came, he could take advantage of the chaos to escape and then find a way to avoid Third-eyed and the others' pursuit.
The third option was more risky …
Lu Li pondered for the time for half an incense stick to burn. The commotion in the mountain was getting louder. Noises of fighting could be heard everywhere.
Lu Li could vaguely hear a large group of people coming. He made up his mind. He had decided to go with the third option!
He looked at the prefecture warriors patrolling in the distance and said to Su Zixi in a low voice, "Brother Su, someone will ask me where I have been.
You can say that I am afraid and went to hide. Or you can say that I was separated by the Followers. When a large group of Followers comes, if you cannot handle them, you can leave. "
With that said, Lu Li dashed toward the mountain without any hesitation. Soon, he vanished into the dark haze in the distance …
"Well, you know there is a tiger in the mountain and yet you are going there?
Clever! "
Su Zixi's eyes glowed after some thoughts. There were many demonized messengers in the mountain. The air of demons was thick. Lu Li could be demonized as well. While it seemed dangerous, it was a way out.
If Lu Li ran away, he would be wanted. In the future, he would have to run around like a stray dog. He would either be eaten by wild beasts or killed by prefecture warriors.
If Lu Li dashed into the mountain, as long as he could stay away from the bird-eyed prefecture warrior, he could return to the team openly after the battle.
By then, nobody could do anything to him. With Commander Ye around, nobody would dare to play tricks.
The mountain was vast. It would take time for the bird-eyed prefecture warrior to hunt down Lu Li. Maybe, by the time he found Lu Li, the mission would be over.
When all the demonized messengers were killed and the dark haze dispersed, would bird-eyed dare to go after Lu Li under the watchful eyes of the public?
Therefore, Lu Li only needed to stay in the mountain until the mission was over. Then, he could survive and return to the Valley of Vicissitudes safely.
。
Because of this mission, Lu Li was exempted from serving for one year. As long as he could return to the Valley of Vicissitudes, he could regain his freedom and be a citizen of the prefecture.
"Brother Lu, good luck!
You are so lucky. You will be able to turn misfortune into fortune and survive this disaster. "
Su Zixi could not help Lu Li. He could only pray.
Fortunately, the prefecture warrior in the distance was patrolling in another direction and did not notice that one person was missing.
"Bang, bang, bang ~"
From the mountain came some hurried and messy noises. From the dark haze, teams of warriors with black smoke and red eyes dashed over.
"Okay ~"
Su Zixi was relieved. The Followers were making their move. Even if some prefecture warriors were to come and ask about Lu Li's whereabouts, Su Zixi could help Lu Li find an excuse.
"Charge —"
