Eat a Bomb
They entered the valley.
Although it was called a valley, it was only the entrance that was relatively narrow. Once inside, there was a wide path in the middle of the valley.
It was a full ten meters wide. For Gu Li and the demons, this was a silver lining in their misfortune.
They'd been afraid that the entrance would remain as narrow as it had been. If they ran into an ambush, they wouldn't be able to use their full strength.
Now, it was ten meters wide. Although it was still too small for them, it was more than enough for them to dodge.
"We haven't seen any spiritual formations along the way."
They'd traveled a thousand meters into the valley, but nothing out of the ordinary had happened. There were no rocks on either side of the valley, nor were there any spiritual formations in the middle.
"Could it be that they're trying to play mind games with us? Are they trying to trick us into thinking that there's an ambush even more dangerous than the true flames above? Are they trying to force our way through?"
Black Dragon arched his brows. Their journey had been far too peaceful. He couldn't help but think that.
"Absolutely not," said Gu Li. Gu Li disagreed. "If it really were as you think, Your Excellency Black Dragon, there's no way they would've used the Flamephoenix's Natal True Flame to stop us. The true flames of the fire phoenixes are the fiercest flames in the world. Even sky immortals wouldn't be able to withstand it. If they wanted to play mind games, they would've set up a killing formation that would hurt us, but not so much that we couldn't endure it. "
"That's true."
Black Dragon nodded. If they really wanted to play mind games, the true flames of the fire phoenixes were far too threatening. Even an idiot wouldn't try to force their way through.
"Then do you think they're using that formation to buy us time?"
"That's possible," nodded Gu Li. "They might've grasped our intentions. They think we don't want to go through the valley, nor do we want to force our way through. That's why they're trying to find the end of the formation. It's just that ….. "
"It's just that what?"
"The price is a bit too high."
Gu Li hesitated for a moment, then frowned.
"If the fire phoenixes want to set up a killing formation with their true flames, they'll have to use their blood essence. Judging from the range of the formation, it'll cost them almost half their blood essence. Also, aside from the clan head of the fire phoenixes, I can't think of anyone else with such power. If they're just trying to buy us time, it'll cost them half their blood essence. It's not worth it. "
No matter how he thought about it, it did not make sense. However, the ambush in the canyon did not come out.
"Don't think too much. We just need to move forward and deal with whatever comes our way."
Sha sha sha.
The black-furred Shadow Rat Clan member returned with news. When Ye Zichen saw him, he said, "You're right.
"He's here?"
"He's here." The little mouse spat out the truth, "We're already a kilometer into the canyon. It won't be long before we reach our ambush range."
"Humph, it seems that I have suffered a loss because of Aunt Zhuge. I have no choice but to go down."
Ye Zichen smiled playfully. Actually, Zhuge Hong had two reasons for setting up the formation.
First, the demon race was afraid of the bottom of the valley, afraid of the True Life Fire, constantly probing the end of the spiritual formation to buy time.
Two: Force the demons to go from the valley to the hinterland.
As for forcibly breaking through the phoenix's True Life Flame, they were certain that Black Dragon would never do such a thing. If they really left like this, it could only be said that they were lucky.
Actually, Zhuge Hong had only left behind a few drops of her lifeblood when she had set up the spiritual formation.
If Black Dragon wanted to forcibly break through the formation, it would take him no more than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea. However, Ye Zichen and the others were betting that Black Dragon wouldn't do such a thing.
Their luck was pretty good. Their gamble paid off.
"Emperor Ye, they're coming in."
At that moment, the Vermillion Bird Clan member lying in ambush spoke up. Ye Zichen looked in the direction of the clansman's hand and saw Black Dragon leading the way. He looked around vigilantly.
"Stay hidden."
Ye Zichen transmitted to the ambushers, then lay down.
Buzz.
A wave of probing energy swept over them. When he sensed it, Ye Zichen almost laughed out loud.
If Black Dragon thought he could use his spiritual awareness to locate Ye Zichen and the others, he could only say that he was overthinking things. Before they came here, Yin Shang had used the Eight Formation Chart of Qian Yuan to set up a formation to erase their auras.
If he couldn't even think of that, how could he possibly play ambush?
"Emperor Ye."
"Wait a little longer. Once they've all come in, we'll blow up all their paths of retreat. Let them enjoy our love for them."
"Understood."
The ambushers grinned in understanding. At the same time, they took out their bombs and waited for Ye Zichen's command …..
"Still no one."
Even the cautious Gu Li didn't think there was any ambush. By now, they could already see the valley's exit.
"Your Excellency, there's someone at the top of the valley!"
At this moment, someone from the Devil Race suddenly shouted and looked up. The Black Dragon also noticed that figure.
"Run!"
Fighting here was unwise. The valley's exit was right in front of them. All they had to do was get out …..
"We found him? How is that possible?"
Ye Zichen knit his brows. At that moment, he saw the white tiger running.
"Who told you to move?"
The White Tiger Clan member who was running came to a stop. He clutched his pants with a pained expression on his face.
"Ye ….. Emperor Ye, I ….. I ….. I need to pee."
"Dammit."
Ye Zichen rolled his eyes in exasperation. His perfect ambush had been ruined by a splash of urine.
Since he'd been discovered, Ye Zichen simply rose to his feet and roared at Gu Li and Black Dragon.
"Your Excellency Black Dragon, Brother Gu Li, I've been waiting here for a long time. Don't be in such a hurry to leave. I still have gifts for you. "
With that, Ye Zichen's eyes narrowed and he roared.
"Explode!"
Rumble!
Black Dragon was in the middle of a mad dash when he suddenly saw the exit in front of him collapse. Boulders fell from both sides of the valley and blocked the exit.
Suddenly, there was another explosion. Black Dragon reached out with his spiritual awareness …..
Their paths of retreat were blocked.
Black metal balls were tossed down from above the valley in an endless stream. The demons' formation was instantly thrown into disarray. For a moment, they thought it was some sort of extraordinary hidden weapon.
Black Dragon was the same, but before long, he noticed that there was nothing special about the metal balls.
"Emperor Ye, and here I thought you'd give me a pleasant surprise. Do you really think these metal balls can deal with hundreds of thousands of our demon army?"
With that, he tossed the metal balls viciously at Ye Zichen.
"Heh heh, the pleasant surprise is yet to come."
As soon as he said that, the Fire Phoenix Race clansmen on both sides of the canyon started spewing flames into the canyon. The White Tiger Race clansmen also started sending lightning bolts into the canyon.
Still, it didn't hurt.
"Really, Emperor Ye, you disappoint me too much."
The Black Dragon sneered. Even the most ordinary warrior of the Devil Race could withstand this kind of attack.
However, at that moment, the fuse on the scattered metal balls lit up. Gu Li's pupils constricted. He'd always found the metal balls particularly familiar.
