72: Chapter 33 Nuomian_2 72: Chapter 33 Nuomian_2 If it were just ordinary Cavalry, even Heavy Cavalry, in the face of Spiritual Ability Users and Iron Guards, as well as firearms, they wouldn’t be of much consequence.
Not to ntion others, just Cheese himself, with a single sentence, could make the Grassland Cavalry bow their heads in submission.
But…
now these Cavalry are equipped with Spiritual Barriers and Spiritual Power Arrows, that makes them very dangerous.
They can withstand the line of fire and forcefully charge into positions.
Even Spiritual Ability Users could possibly be overwheld by their numbers.
And moreover, the number of the enemy is unknown…
“Why has the Zhe Lan King’s Banner suddenly beco so powerful?” Cheese frowned, “Isn’t it just a D-level Taboo Item?”
“I’m not sure…” the civilian official shook his head, “Zhe Lan is a tribe of the Xiongnu, which was once called God’s Whip by the Westerners.
And now, so variable has erged that has rejuvenated them.
I even suspect that many Taboo Items going out of control are related to this group of Cavalry.”
Li Yelai and Cheese’s brows were deeply furrowed, if a Spiritual Power Army also had Taboo Items, the consequences were simply too dreadful to contemplate.
At this mont, the group ran to the central position of a corridor.
Just as they were about to continue onward,
they suddenly heard a creaking sound—a few steps away, a steel gate on the wall was abruptly opened.
These gates were all-tal gates designed to prevent the escape of Taboo Items, automatically dropping when an alarm was sounded.
Now, under the influence of the Mobius Ring Map, it was unknown where the gate would lead to.
Therefore, no one had wasted any ti trying to open the gates.
But at this mont, the gate opened automatically.
A silhouette appeared in the gate, a figure dressed in a combat uniform who was supposed to be a female Processor.
But she made Li Yelai and the others tense up.
Because the mask worn on that person’s face was the Phantom Mask Strategy!
Had the Phantom Mask Strategy taken over this Processor’s body?
Without ti for sorrow, Li Yelai instantly rushed toward her.
His long sword fell like lightning!
It had been eighteen minutes since he put on the Heart of Slaughter, and Li Yelai’s physical power had been strengthened for eighteen minutes.
So this one slash was fast and ruthless!
The leaping step and the slash seed to split the other party in two!
The other party also rapidly beca aware, or rather, perceived the blood vessels spreading out over Li Yelai’s neck—the blood vessels of the Heart of Slaughter!
Her treasure sword then burst with cold light!
Instantly drawing out a fatal streak of sword light.
The next instant, long sword and treasure sword clashed!
The sharp sound of the blade’s impact caused everyone’s ears to ring incessantly.
The woman wearing the Nuomian was forcibly pushed back a step.
Li Yelai’s physical power was actually superior to hers!
“Nuomian, you’re courting death!” Li Yelai roared as he pursued her with one hand holding his face, about to use Wanxiang Wumian, but he suddenly stopped.
The other party also shouted angrily at the sa ti: “Heart of Slaughter…”
“Hold your fire, [listen to ]!
We’re all on the sa side!” Cheese imdiately yelled, preventing the imminent bloodshed.
It was then that both sides saw the teammates behind the opposing party.
Behind that Nuomian-masked female Processor, there were two more Processors, five civilian officials, and two Iron Guards!
Had she not been taken over by the Nuomian?
But Li Yelai and Cheese and the others had no ti to feel relieved when the group rushed out from the gate, imdiately set to work—it was to close the gate?
As if so monster was pursuing them from behind.
Li Yelai felt a sinking in his heart and imdiately looked toward the corridor behind the gate, only to see at the distant corner.
A massive tree popped up, its limbs ford of branches rapidly crawling over the ground.
A Level C Taboo Item, the Tree Spirit.
Its true form is a tree that bears fruit in all seasons.
Its fruits can induce rapid growth in plants.
It is said that the abundance of Giant City’s food reserves is due to its effect.
And the price is that when a fruit is plucked, a large amount of flesh must be offered as nutrients; otherwise, it will go out of control.
Once out of control…
well, it’s like what you see now.
It will attack flesh and blood creatures everywhere to obtain nutrients.
Due to not being picky, it wasn’t difficult to calm down, just fetching so odds and ends from the slaughterhouse was enough.
Suppressing it also wasn’t strenuous.
The adversary was weak.
“Tree Spirit?” Cheese exclaid, shouting, “Suppress it!
With so many of us here!
It will only take a minute…”
“No, no, no, there’s sothing behind it!” The woman wearing the Phantom Mask Strategy yelled, “Quick, close the gate!”
It was then Li Yelai finally saw the Tree Spirit fleeing in panic.
Following it ca the thunderous sounds of horse hooves.
Moreover, there were arrows stabbing into the Tree Spirit.
Was it…
the Zhe Lan Iron Cavalry?
The Zhe Lan Iron Cavalry chasing the Tree Spirit?
Li Yelai was stunned, and at that mont, the tal gate slamd shut.
The woman wearing the Phantom Mask Strategy continued to point in a certain direction, saying, “Keep moving!
It’s still not safe here!”
So, everyone could only follow them as they ran.
After crossing another intersection and a gate,
The group finally stopped.
At this ti, Li Yelai also learned the situation from the explanations of those people.
In order to find their teammates and locate the Mobius Ring Map, the female Processor chose to wear the Phantom Mask Strategy, using the Divination Ability of the Nuomian to find a few teammates, and slowly gathered strength.
But they still encountered the fleeing Tree Spirit and were forced to escape to the gate, eting Li Yelai and his group.
“It’s also a thod,” Cheese pondered before saying, “Don’t forget, once you take off the Nuomian, you will lose a lot of mories.”
“There are always trade-offs,” the Processor code-nad ‘Sha Li’ replied, “It’s most crucial to first suppress the Mobius Ring Map.
Besides, afterward, I will gain Divination Ability, just at the expense of so mories.
It’s worth it!”
Cheese nodded slightly, agreeing with this reasoning.
If it were her, she would choose the sa.
Then, Sha Li turned to Li Yelai sitting aside and asked, “Night General, are you under the influence of the Heart of Slaughter?”
“Yes, I was inadvertently jumped by the Heart of Slaughter,” Li Yelai nodded in response, “Considering the ti, it’s been over twenty minutes.”
“Don’t worry, you might last even longer.
My friend held on for an hour and a half,” Sha Li consoled.
At that mont, the Nuomian suddenly emitted an ancient voice, “I advise you not to travel with him.”
Clearly, this was the true entity behind the Phantom Mask Strategy speaking.
Not to travel with Li Yelai?
To abandon Li Yelai?
“What nonsense are you spouting?” Cheese sneered in response.
“Shut up!” Sha Li also scolded, not wanting the Nuomian to continue speaking.
They could not bear to abandon a teammate.
But the Nuomian’s voice continued, “You are…
Cheese, right?
His fate line is too terrible.
If you stay by his side, very bad things will happen.
I hope you make a choice.”
“Bad things?
Such as?” Cheese sneered, “Expecting to take maternity leave?”
“Pfft!” Li Yelai, who had just received a cup of water from a teammate, choked terribly.
Sha Li’s mouth twitched, suddenly feeling so regret; if she forgot this, wouldn’t it be a great loss?
The Nuomian paused and then sneered, “Sharp-tongued and ignorant of blessings!
There are many malices in his fate line, and just one of them, You Must et Strong Enemies, will give you enough hardship!
Once this curse is triggered, what do you think you will encounter?
Do you think all beings here are as benign as ?”
“What benign are you?” Cheese suddenly realized and said to Li Yelai, “If you encounter any danger, just use Face to hide and cultivate gu.”
Was she suggesting attracting a swarm of Taboo Items to fight?
Do they really think of as a Monster Brushing Cage?
Li Yelai complained internally but still nodded.
“Enough, continue divining the location of the Mobius Ring Map,” Sha Li said, “Otherwise, even if I give up my mories, I will leave you trapped here forever.”
However, the Nuomian spoke softly, “It’s too late.
In five minutes, the lower half will be affected by the Mobius Ring Map, and at that ti, Class B Forbidden Items will be thrown into the labyrinth.
Wouldn’t you rather I lead you out of the labyrinth?”
Five more minutes?
Everyone’s hearts sank, and Sha Li continued, “We still have to look for the Mobius Ring Map, even if it’s too late, the sooner we lift the labyrinth, the better.”
“It seems you all are very foolish,” the Nuomian lanted, “I really cannot understand humans.”
(I’m sorry for being late.
I went to book a hotel this afternoon and it took a long ti.)
