After flying for two hours and changing directions three times, Lu Li finally calmed down after thinking for two hours. He had some clear ideas.
No matter what, the first thing he had to do was to survive the upcoming pursuit.
There should be two groups of people chasing after him. The first group was sent by Commander Ye, and the second group was sent by the prefecture's hunting squad.
If he had only escaped, Commander Ye probably would not have sent a large number of people to hunt him down. However, he had killed Triangular-Eyed Li Qiang, who was an Official Army soldier. Commander Ye would definitely not let him go.
At the very least, they would send people to hunt him down for a while. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to explain themselves to their superiors.
The prefecture's hunting squad wouldn't be able to catch up so quickly. It would take at least half a month for the news to spread to the prefecture and for the hunting squad to be mobilized.
In the next few days, Commander Ye's pursuit would definitely arrive. After all, the void beast's speed was too fast.
"I need to find a place to hide!"
Lu Li looked around, trying to find a suitable place.
He knew that it would not work in an ordinary place as the Official Army's Spiritual Force was very powerful.
Even if they found some caves, the Official Army would probably go down to investigate.
"Roar, roar ~"
While he was deep in thought, an earth-shattering roar suddenly came from a ravine in front of him. Next, a huge beast stood up, its body as tall as the mountain.
It was a giant beast that looked like a blood ape. It had the head of a lion and two white horns.
There were sharp spikes on its shoulders, and its fangs were very long. There were also spikes on its elbows and ten fingers. They flickered with a cold light, and a single look at them would cause one's heart to palpitate.
Appearance alone was not enough to scare Lu Li. Qi and blood were the main thing.
The energy of the beast was like a blood moon. Even though it was more than 30 miles away from Lu Li, he still felt out of breath.
Buzz buzz buzz!
Without any hesitation, Lu Li's Interspatial Ring glowed as he let out the more than a dozen Stone Golems he made on the way. He controlled the Stone Golems to disperse and dash toward the wild beasts.
Along the way, he had already thought of how to deal with desolate beasts. Desolate beasts had low intelligence. As long as the stone golem attacked it, the desolate beast would be angered and chase after the stone golem. Then, he could sneak away.
As expected!
The two Stone Golems at the front charged at the desolate beast. As the Stone Golems did not have any signs of life, the desolate beast did not care at first.
He had been glaring at Lu Li ferociously, but he was hit on the head by a Stone Golem.
Although the stone man's battle prowess was not considered strong, it was still comparable to a deity's strength.
This punch did not injure the desolate beast, but it made it feel pain.
"Roar, roar ~"
The Desolate Beast was instantly enraged. It waved its huge claws and slammed them onto the stone man.
The stone man's defense was very strong, but it was easily smashed into pieces.
"Whoosh, whoosh ~"
One by one, the Stone Golems dashed toward the wild beast from three directions. The wild beast stared at the Stone Golems in rage and paid no more attention to Lu Li.
"Go!"
Lu Li told the immortal's body to fly close to the mountain and take a detour. By the time all the Stone Golems were smashed, the immortal's body had taken Lu Li away.
"Blood Fairy, take the Wicked Bead and leave. I will go in and make some Stone Golems."
Lu Li took out the Wicked Bead and went in. The immortal's body grabbed the Wicked Bead and ran on.
Fortunately, Blood Fairy had taken over the immortal's body, which meant that the immortal's body had a soul. Otherwise, without Lu Li's control, who knew where the immortal's body would go …
"Buzz ~"
Back in the Wicked Bead, Lu Li let the Deaf Taoist out to consume the Spring Gold and look after Little White.
Lu Li gave the Deaf Taoist hundreds of pieces of Spring Gold. He realized that he did not have to go back to the Valley of Vicissitudes. The Spring Gold was useless to him. The Deaf Taoist could improve his abilities and be of great help to Lu Li.
Lu Li checked on Little White and began to make Stone Golems. He would teleport one to the outer hall as soon as he made one. This time, he planned to fill the outer hall with Stone Golems so that they could come in handy at critical moments.
The Stone Golems were not powerful, but they were perfect for distracting enemies and distracting wild beasts.
Practice made perfect. Lu Li was fast in making Stone Golems. This time, he did not make one hundred. Instead, he made over three hundred Stone Golems, which filled up the outer hall.
Previously, Lu Li could only make one hundred Stone Golems because his soul would be weakened if he made more.
But now, it was different. He had a soul that was much stronger. It was easy for him to make two to three hundred Stone Golems.
"Okay!"
After half a day, Lu Li rested for the time for one incense stick to burn. He did not go out. Instead, he asked Blood Fairy, "Is everything okay?"
"It's fine. I managed to shake off a desolate beast!"
Blood Fairy added, "But I didn't find any good hiding places. We must find a place as soon as possible or our pursuers will be here."
Half a day had passed. The fight at the Sect of Supernatural Beings must have come to an end. If Commander Ye were to mobilize the Beasts of the Void to hunt them down, in a day at most, some Beasts of the Void would catch up.
Previously, Lu Li sensed the speed of the Beasts of the Void. The Beasts of the Void were at least a dozen times faster than the immortal's body. At this rate, the Beasts of the Void would catch up.
Lu Li was thinking. He was about to go out and check the terrain when Blood Fairy suddenly said, "Oh, no. I think there is a lair of wild beasts up ahead. There are so many wild beasts. Master … we are in trouble!"
Lu Li used psychic power to check. Ahead of him was a spooky basin. Above the basin, dozens of shadows were flying up.
All of them were huge desolate beasts with wings on their backs. They looked like golden-winged rocs, but their fur was blue and they had four eyes.
"What are you panicking about?"
Lu Li calmed down soon. He had over three hundred Stone Golems. They could distract the dozens of wild beasts easily.
Wild beasts had low intelligence, which was their weakness. Also, Lu Li was in the Wicked Bead and the immortal's body was lifeless. Therefore, to the wild beasts, the Stone Golems were no different from the immortal's body.
"This is a nice place!"
Lu Li used psychic power to check the spooky basin. There was a layer of dark fog that could isolate psychic power.
"Let's take a gamble. This is the moment of life and death!"
Lu Li thought about it. Suddenly, he did something strange. He cut his own chest so that his blood dyed his cyan robe red.
Then, he dashed out, tore his robe, and threw it to the ground.
The Wicked Bead glowed. Over thirty Stone Golems dashed toward the wild beasts while the others fled to different directions.
"Let's go in!"
When all was done, Lu Li went into the Wicked Bead with the immortal's body. He turned the Wicked Bead into a pebble and rolled down into the bushes.
"Bang, bang, bang ~"
Soon, the Stone Golems were crushed by the birds and wild beasts. Lu Li was delighted to find that — those birds were not intelligent. They did not mind the Wicked Bead and went after the Stone Golems.
"Nice!"
Lu Li was overjoyed. He quietly rolled the Wicked Bead along the ground toward the basin step by step.
He wanted to take a gamble that the wild beasts could not sense the Wicked Bead.
If the wild beasts did not care about the Wicked Bead, then … he could hide in the basin.
There were so many wild beasts in the basin. Theoretically speaking, when Commander Ye's pursuers came, they would only check around but not fight with the wild beasts.
The Stone Golems were Lu Li's skill. He tore his cyan robe that was stained with blood. Usually, when the pursuers saw his cyan robe and the Stone Golems, they would assume that Lu Li had died in the wild beasts' stomachs. They would not go to the basin to check.
What was more, the dark fog in the basin could isolate psychic power. The Wicked Bead could turn into a pebble.
Without careful observation, one would not notice the Inhibition Formations of the Wicked Bead.
If Commander Ye believed that Lu Li was dead, Lu Li could run away and leave the Vicissitude House.
Of course, the premise was that the wild beasts would not care about the Wicked Bead.
