What Lu Li was most worried about finally happened. Even though 1000 warriors were mobilized, they could not stop the captives from rioting.
The captives had been plotting for a long time. Finally, they succeeded with an opportunity!
That opportunity was Luo Sha!
That was to say, Lu Li had something to do with the captives rioting.
Of course, it was not entirely Lu Li's fault. If Luo Sha had been hiding among the corpses for a month without being discovered, then something would still have happened.
Luo Sha was one of the leaders of the captives in the first place. He secretly communicated with a group of people in secret, instantly killing two squads and rescuing a few powerful captives. After that, the rest of the matter was simple.
Luo Sha rescued several powerful captives and then used a secret skill to restore some of their abilities.
They killed their way underground, killed all the warriors, took their Interspatial Rings and recovered with pellets. They also rescued thousands of captives from the Pyrolyte Mines.
A single spark had started a prairie fire!
The majority of the troops charged out. A few experts surrounded Elder Xie, while the rest attacked the troops. There were also people who went to rescue more prisoners of war.
When all the captives could recover some of their abilities, they could kill the entire army.
It was a dangerous situation. Patriarch Xie was surrounded by Luo Sha and several others. Momo was under attack as well. The army had the upper hand but there were too many captives, tens of thousands of them.
As a prisoner of war was quickly rescued, many people swallowed elixirs, cultivated a bit of divine power, and immediately joined the battle.
They were wounded and their abilities were less than 20 to 30 percent of what they used to be. But they were not afraid of death. They attacked the army with numbers.
If they could not escape, they would die. But they could escape as long as they could kill the army. None of the captives were afraid of death. Even if they were going to die, they would drag a warrior with them. The warriors had been mistreating them for years. Their hatred was deep-rooted.
The battle outside was fierce but it had not spread to here yet. Hou San sneaked over, trying to find Lu Li to run with him.
"Run?
How can we run? "
Lu Li said bitterly, "There is a seal on the valley. Without opening the seal, nobody can get out. I think the Teleportation Formation has been destroyed.
Where can we go even if we run? "
"Yes …"
Hou San patted his head and came to his senses. He said with a sad face, "Then what do we do now, boss?
Go out and fight the captives with the army? "
"Don't worry!"
Lu Li used the trace of Dao to sense the situation outside. His perception was so strong that he could sense the situation in the valley clearly.
After pondering for a moment, he said, "Now that the prisoners of war and the army are tied, let's wait and see first, don't go out.
If we hide in a Spatial God Artifact, even if someone discovers us, they won't attack us first. "
Lu Li took out the Wicked Bead and put Hou San in. Then, he left as well. He turned the Wicked Bead into a pebble in a corner.
This kind of small trick couldn't be hidden from others. As long as an expert came over to investigate, they would be easily discovered.
But right now, there was a chaotic battle going on everywhere. Even if they found out, they wouldn't care.
In any case, no matter which side won, they would be dealt with eventually.
Lu Li was also aware of this situation. If the captives won, they would definitely come after them.
If the army won, they would not be able to escape military law.
However, it was even more dangerous to go out now. If they were not careful, they could be killed.
In his heart, he did not have any sense of belonging to the Hell Palace. He only treated this place as a place to stay. Naturally, he would not risk his life for the Hell Palace.
He was waiting!
When the army was defeated, the higher-ups of the army might open the seal and let the army escape.
That would be their chance. As long as they could escape from the valley, their chances of survival would be greater.
Lu Li treated the captives well. He never scolded or beat them. So did Hou San.
However, there were so many captives. Who would know him?
In such a chaotic situation, once they went out and started a fight, they would be targeted.
Even in the Wicked Bead, Lu Li could still sense what was going on outside. The trace of the great path was so powerful that Lu Li felt he had become one with heaven and earth. He could see clearly what was going on around him.
As time passed, the battle outside began to pour towards the captives.
As more and more prisoners of war were rescued, more prisoners of war were recovering their combat strength as time passed. In addition, the number of soldiers was too small.
Patriarch Xie was strong. He was fighting against six people all at the fourth tribulation. It was a pity that the five of them had not recovered to their prime or else Patriarch Xie would have died.
Luo Sha was strong as well. He was supporting Patriarch Xie's attacks almost all by himself while the other five were distracting him.
As time went on, the five were recovering. Patriarch Xie might not be able to hold on any longer and would be killed.
"Why hasn't the seal been opened?
At this rate, the entire army will be wiped out. "
Lu Li was getting anxious. Seven to eight hundred warriors had died and more captives were coming. When would they run away if not now?
Was Momo waiting for reinforcements from the nearby cities?
By the looks of it, if the reinforcements did not come in an hour, all of them would perish.
Reinforcements had to be mobilized and it would take time for them to travel. How could they arrive so soon?
Unless a few powerhouses came here first, they would not be able to do so.
"Why haven't the powerful warriors from the city come?
Did they not receive the message? "
Lu Li was confused. Theoretically speaking, Momo should have sent for reinforcements as soon as the riot broke out. It had been an hour and none of the reinforcements had arrived. Didn't they say that the city was nearby?
Lu Li could not figure it out and neither could Momo. He kept looking at a place in the valley where there was a signal station. If the signal station was lit up, it meant that reinforcements had arrived.
He didn't open the seal because he was waiting for reinforcements.
As long as the reinforcements arrived, none of the captives would be able to run away. In that case, he would not be so guilty.
If he opened the seal and let the captives run away, it would be a disaster. By then, he would not be able to escape death.
But the thing was …
If the reinforcements didn't come, he would die right away. He had no family. What was the difference between dying now and dying later?
"I will wait for the time for one incense stick to burn!"
Momo said to himself. If the reinforcements didn't come, he would have to face the Hell Palace.
By then, he could run away with the captives and get out of the Devil Sea. Given his abilities, he could survive anywhere.
"Boom!"
In less than the time for one incense stick to burn, Momo was smashed away after the time for half an incense stick to burn. Many bones in his chest were broken. Looking at the more than a dozen captives coming after him and the unforgettable hatred in their eyes, Momo was scared.
He dashed into a castle. Then, the castle exploded. The patterns on the valley began to tremble as well. Momo dashed up to the sky in a blur.
"Run —"
The remaining warriors were not idiots. What was the point of staying here when Momo had run away?
Only death awaited them if they stayed.
Countless soldiers soared into the sky and fled outside.
"Alas …"
Patriarch Xie sighed. What was the point of him staying when everyone had run away?
He was old but he didn't want to die. After he forced Luo Sha and the others to retreat, he flew up to the sky.
"Let's go!"
Lu Li had been observing the situation in the Wicked Bead. As soon as Momo ran away, Lu Li dashed out. He spread out his dragon wings and flew up at a horrifying speed.
"Charge!"
