"We should go!" Lin Dong said, and everyone looked at him in shock.
Didn't they say to hold their ground?
Why did they have to leave all of a sudden?
Although the army of monsters surrounding the valley had retreated, their numbers did not decrease by much!
Lin Dong raised his right hand and gestured for everyone to be quiet. "I asked everyone to hold their ground to confuse the enemy. Everyone should know how many enemies we have to face. The only thing that's good for us now is that although there are many enemies, they are not united. There are many exchanges of interests among them, and they are also wary of each other. If we scatter and escape, it will be exactly what they want. They can use the geographical advantage of Purgatory to attack us one by one and swallow us whole. "
"If we stick together now and decide to fight to the death, they will be hesitant to move forward because of self-preservation and the distribution of benefits, right?" Bloody Mary was very smart. She immediately understood what he meant.
"The distribution of interests can be discussed. As long as they have enough time to discuss, we will become lambs to be slaughtered by their knives sooner or later. After all, Purgatory is their territory. Mr. Wood, what you mean is that we pretend to hold our ground to confuse them, and when they discuss the distribution of interests in private, we can take the opportunity to break out? "Philip thought further.
"Then what are we waiting for?" Leonard wanted to leave long ago. He did not want to stay in this damn Purgatory for a second longer.
"Let's be the vanguard!" Griffon was full of pride. After two waves of counterattacks, he already looked down on the army of monsters. Of course, this was based on the fact that he was following the Heavenly God.
"Wait." Arius suddenly raised an objection. "I'm afraid it won't be easy for us to leave because Duke has betrayed us. No one saw him just now. Obviously, this traitor has left to meet up with Valentine and the others. Duque knows our ins and outs, and if we don't get rid of Duque, it will be difficult for us to return to the surface world safely! "
"I'm sorry about Duque, but I think we need to leave as soon as possible because of the urgency of the situation." Thomas' opinion was the opposite.
"That's true. If Valentine gets the information from Duque, we'll be in a more passive position. Besides, it's not a matter of killing Duque now. Even if Duque is in the army of monsters, it'll be difficult for us to defeat him. "Hugo agreed with Thomas.
"Archbishop, can you give us a hint?" Bord looked at Red Archbishop Nero.
"The light of the Lord will always shine on our heads!" Well, Nero didn't say anything.
"I don't think Duque is the biggest problem right now!" Fox's words were not shocking. He snorted and said, "What I'm really worried about is whether or not there are still traitors lying in ambush in our team. If there are still traitors working with Duque, then our road back will need to be paved with blood! To be honest, I've long suspected that there are traitors in the team. Otherwise, Čepes wouldn't have appeared so timely. And all the things that happened after we entered Inferno, such as Valentine's attack on the camp, forcing us to enter the secret underground passage, and the encounter of the space-time gap, and then entering the Rainbow Paradise, as well as the parasitic monsters. If there's no mastermind behind the scenes, how could things become like this? "
As soon as she said that.
Everyone felt that it was true.
Since entering Inferno, there had been all kinds of unexpected events that forced them to move forward without thinking.
However, the problem of a traitor was very sensitive. Among the remaining companions, who else was the traitor? It was hard to say if there was a traitor on the forehead of the traitor!
If it was just a random guess.
Then the exploration team might have to face the situation of being torn apart.
Originally, they were companions who had worked hard to unite with the army of monsters. Any spark of suspicion could destroy the whole team.
"Mr. Wood?" Phillip looked at Lin Dong. It was indeed not the best idea to investigate the traitor at this time, but if they didn't get rid of the traitor, everyone's return would be in danger. It was really a dilemma.
"Don't worry, everyone." Lin Dong smiled. "Actually, I deliberately let Duque go. At that time, he wanted to escape. If I chased after him, it wasn't impossible to kill him. I let him go because I wanted to use his information to mislead the enemy. Let's not talk about whether there are still traitors among us. Even if there are, it doesn't matter. We can use this to deceive the enemy. Just like how we defend the camp, the tactical initiative is actually in our hands. However, in order to prevent the traitors from successfully leaking information, we still need to be vigilant and try not to leave any traces that we can use to mislead the enemy. "
"Good!" Griffon, the die-hard fan, applauded with all his might.
With a smart person like Lord Kami thinking of a solution.
He just needed to do it.
Then don't let this battle be too comfortable.
When the members of the various forces heard this, their hearts that had been hanging in the air instantly calmed down.
No one wanted to be suspected of being a traitor by their companions and then be kicked out of the team. Since Mr. Wood didn't want to pursue the matter and had a way to mislead the enemy, then it couldn't be better. As for returning to the Surface World, they could investigate however they wanted. In any case, they weren't traitors, so the innocent would know their innocence. As long as they weren't abandoned by the team here, it was fine!
"Before we leave, let's leave some riddles for the enemy to guess. Otherwise, their days will be very boring!" Lin Dong gestured for Griffon and the others to come over and help set up the trap.
Around 20 minutes later.
The team members who had regained some of their strength carried their bags and followed closely behind Lin Dong and the other leaders.
Wherever Lin Dong pointed with his Matchless Heavy Sword, the demons along the way all fled at the sight of it. Phillip, Bloody Mary and the other leaders carefully brought up the rear to prevent anyone from getting injured and falling behind. Of course, more importantly, they were monitoring the members, searching for traitors, and preventing any lurkers from secretly leaving behind clues. In the sky, Fox and Enoko Kazama rode on their flying dragons, one in front and one behind, flying back and forth around the retreating team.
The army of demons was like the sea being split by a speedboat.
Apart from leaving behind a ground full of corpses.
They could no longer leave anything behind.
Five hours later.
Temporary camp.
That inhumanly handsome and elegant man was the first to arrive at the small valley.
After looking at the various arrangements left behind by Lin Dong, his expression was solemn. After pondering for a long time, he finally made a decision that shocked the hundreds of vampires behind him. "We won't participate in this mess. This young man is very mysterious. Before we find out his background, we shouldn't rush to become enemies with him. Purgatory is a huge world, we don't have enough power to completely annex it, so it's better to keep a low profile! And this young man, we might have a chance to meet again, I have a feeling! "
The handsome man led his army of vampires and soared into the sky, as if they had never appeared before.
Another two hours passed.
Van Lenden arrived with his personal Flying Dragon Guards. On the ground, other than the army of demons, there was also a group of Demons riding on the backs of demons. There were no less than five hundred of them.
After looking at the temporary camp, Van Lenden and the two Demon leaders discussed in low voices for a while.
In the end, they headed in the direction Lin Dong and the rest had retreated.
They chased after them without giving up.
After Van Lenden left, Čepes appeared with the Inhumans and humanoid guards.
Quick Gunner Duque had already appeared beside him, standing behind Čepes with a smug expression.
"Heh, what a bunch of fools!" Čepes looked in the direction Van Lenden and the Demons left, his face full of disdain and mockery. "Betraying City Master Özy is already reckless enough, and you still want to use us. If you don't have such great power, don't have such great ambitions. Otherwise, you won't get the meat, but the bones will choke your throat! With just a dozen Black Water Flying Dragons and a few hundred Demons, you want to establish yourselves in Purgatory? What a joke! "
"What should we do next? Chase after them and watch them kill each other, then find the best time to reap the harvest? "Quick Gunner Duque asked.
"Of course not, that young man called Blockhead is very dangerous. For hundreds of years, I have never felt such a sense of danger in my heart. It's not good for us to get close to him, at least not now. Duque, don't be anxious, we have plenty of time, and we need enough patience to do big things. Let Van Lenden test the waters this time, we have enough advantages, there's no need to take the risk. Oh right, Duque, return to the Surface World as soon as possible. Don't talk to me about power, I can give you powerful power at any time, but the reason why I don't is because once you obtain the power of Purgatory, you won't be able to return to the Surface World freely. This is what I regret the most, if I had persevered a little longer back then, I wouldn't have to spend so much effort to recruit new people. " Tsopesh patted Duke's shoulder: "After you go back, as long as you drink my blood, you'll immediately become a powerhouse. Even your former boss Thomas won't be a match for you. But Duque, you must remember what I want you to do, don't lose your sight in the Surface World. "
"Yes, I definitely won't let you down." Duque's face lit up when he heard this, but he quickly lowered his head to express his stance.
"On the Surface World, you are not the only one." Čepes smiled: "I feel that appropriate competition is more beneficial to the development of one's career. Duque, let me remind you again, when you work, you must do your best, only then can you exchange for greater power and immortality. "
"Immortality … …" Duque was so excited that his hands trembled: "I will definitely obtain it!"
"Then work hard!" Čepes patted Duque's shoulder hard.
"Yes, I will definitely work hard!" Duque suddenly thought of something: "That guy, he is still in the team, will he be in danger?"
"He is more cautious than you, don't worry, he won't be easily exposed. After you return to the Surface World, you can change your identity, secretly contact him without anyone knowing, and give him the reward that belongs to him. You and him, are both newcomers that I have high hopes for, work hard! It is dangerous here, let's not stay for too long, go! "Čepes waved his hand, and the entire team quickly moved, disappearing without a trace in a short while.
At that moment, Lin Dong.
He had just come out from the space-time gap.
However, when he stepped on the ground again, it was no longer the secret underground tunnel of the stone forest, but a vast expanse of sand dunes.
After Philip and the other leaders came out from the space-time gap, they were all dumbfounded. The space-time gap had moved, they did not know the way in this unfamiliar place! What should they do?
Lin Dong grabbed a handful of sand and sniffed it.
He ordered Fox to drive the Black Water Flying Dragon that had just squeezed out from the space-time gap into the sky: "Fox, scout this side! We are not too far away from the stone forest, there is still the same aura and energy radiation here, we did not stray too far from the way we came. Everyone rest here for five minutes, after which we will continue to move quickly and shake off our pursuers! "
"Will there be an ambush in front?" Philip was a little worried about this problem. If they moved quickly and did not conserve any energy, if they encountered an ambush, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"The space-time gap is constantly moving, and we decided to retreat at the last moment, the possibility of an ambush is very low." Lin Dong thought for a while: "But the possibility of the enemy realizing that we have given up and speeding up is very high. We have to race against time now, if we can safely cross the broken bridge, then the possibility of returning to the Surface World is very high, if not, we might suffer great losses! "
"No need to rest, let's go!" Leonard definitely did not want to be caught by the enemy at this time.
"Let's go!" The team members who were just about to take a breather quickly got up when they heard that the broken bridge was a guarantee of safety, not caring about their fatigue, they immediately carried their backpacks and sprinted in the direction Lin Dong had pointed, each of them doing their best to race against death, afraid to fall behind.
Two hours after they left.
The tide-like army of monsters surged out from the space-time gap. Although the space-time gap had moved by a few thousand meters, Fan Lundin still easily found the messy footprints of the exploration team on the sand dunes.
"Chase!" Fan Lundin rode on the Black Water Flying Dragon and urged his subordinates to speed up.
