This group of Dead Souls was no longer satisfied with catching two small fishes, they were going to send people into the Underworld on a large scale!
And the first batch of targets were the Demonic Academy and Celestial Fortress!
"Damn it, these guys!" Lu Chen's eyes were already burning with anger.
"Nameless, calm down first, my illusion can't hold on any longer. There's still time, let's take advantage of the chaos and retreat!" Li Wei pulled Lu Chen back.
Ironwood also said, "They said it will only start in fifteen days, we still have time, let's retreat first!"
Although Lu Chen was furious, he knew that rushing out now would be courting death, so he could only turn around and lead the team out of the City of Dead Souls.
Everyone temporarily set up camp in the forest far away from the City of Dead Souls.
Originally, everyone had planned to return and report the news, but who would have thought that the two entrances to the Netherworld on Prosperous Source Continent and Azure Pond Continent would be heavily guarded by the Netherworld Army? It seemed that they had been deployed to receive their messengers.
This put Lu Chen's team in a dilemma.
Helpless, they retreated back into the forest.
After staying here for a day, they realized that there was also a day and night difference here, but it was not as obvious as in the Yang World.
The time of "day" here corresponded to the time of night in the Yang World, the sky was redder and brighter, but it turned dark red at night.
On the third day, before Lu Chen and the rest could come up with a solution, Guang Zhi, who was in charge of security, rushed back. "Not good, there's an Army of the Dead searching this forest, I took a look, it doesn't seem to be the Army of the Dead from the City of Dead Souls, their clothes are different, and when they meet the City of Dead Souls' troops on the road, they would go forward to confirm!"
"Not good, it seems that the six-star Great Spectral Cultivator that we killed previously used some method to expose our whereabouts!"
At this time, everyone was in a very dangerous situation!
"Everyone, let's move first!"
Just as Lu Chen finished speaking, the ground began to shake.
Across the forest, Lu Chen could see a huge Cerberus charging towards them!
"Over there, men, follow it quickly!" Someone behind the Cerberus shouted.
"Not good, they can find us! Retreat quickly! "Lu Chen shouted in a low voice, and everyone hurriedly moved.
Li Wei casually set up a fox demon illusion, but the Hell Hound did not fall for it at all. It charged straight at them!
"Damn it, I can't shake him off!" Li Wei had no choice but to retreat quickly.
The Hell Hound rampaged through the forest, breaking the trees. No matter how these people tried to escape, they were unable to shake it off.
Seeing that Cerberus was getting closer and closer to them, Guang Zhi suddenly stopped. "Boss, Nameless, you guys go first!"
"Second Brother, you can't stay!" Omen grabbed Guang Zhi's arm tightly.
Guang Zhi pushed Omen away. "Lao San, you must save Linger. I have no children. She is my daughter!"
"Now is not the time to dawdle. For the sake of Linger, hurry and leave!"
With that, Guang Zhi charged towards the Cerberus. "Bastard, let me have a go at you!"
"Second Brother!" Omen's eyes widened in anger. Seeing this, Ironwood quickly pulled Omen back. "It's too late. Hurry and leave!"
Not long after, sounds of fighting came from behind. However, there were too many of them. Guang Zhi did not have the chance to block the Hell Hound before he was surrounded by the other Army of the Dead …
"This … that Hell Hound is coming again!"
It seemed that it was impossible for one person to block the Hell Hound.
Ironwood, Agarwood, and the rest all stopped. "Omen, we will block them. Nameless, we beg you. You must help Second Brother save Linger. We watched that child grow up. She has unlimited potential and is much more useful than us old guys. Nothing must happen to her!"
"You guys …" Lu Chen looked at them anxiously and with heartache.
At this moment, Omen suddenly spoke. "What kind of joke are you guys playing? We brothers have already said that we will go through thick and thin together. How can I leave you guys behind and leave alone!"
"Omen, even if it's for Linger, you have to leave first!" Ironwood said in a low voice.
Omen shook his head. "Nameless Brother, our lives were saved by you. Naturally, we should be the ones holding up the rear. However, Omen begs Nameless Brother and Miss Liwei. If there's a chance, please help me … help me save Linger!"
"I can't leave them behind!"
Lu Chen's mind was already in a mess. Although he had only spent a few days with the people from Celestial Fortress, everyone had stayed behind for the same purpose. They had infiltrated the fortress several times and were surrounded by danger. It could be said that they had gone through life and death together.
At this moment, seeing that they had stayed behind to cover for him, Lu Chen felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Nameless Brother, I have seen countless people. I can see that you are a person who values friendship and righteousness. Such a person is very rare nowadays … Alright, you guys hurry up and leave. Don't let our sacrifice be in vain!" Omen finished speaking and pushed Lu Chen away. "Hurry up and leave!"
Li Wei pulled Lu Chen, who was still in a daze. "Nameless, although there may not be any hope of escaping, if we can't escape, then there really won't be any hope left!"
Lu Chen naturally understood this logic. Even if he was extremely unwilling, he could only grit his teeth and flee into the distance!
The sounds of fighting behind them were getting further and further away. However, before Lu Chen and the rest could heave a sigh of relief, a few trees in the distance quickly collapsed.
Lu Chen and Li Wei looked at each other and a terrifying thought arose in their minds.
More Hellhounds were coming!
The two of them increased their speed and unknowingly rushed out of the dense forest!
In front of them was … a bottomless abyss! If the two of them had not reacted quickly, they would have fallen straight down.
A huge crack lay in front of the two of them!
A chilly wind blew through the bottom of the crack, and there were also faint traces of a huge object moving under the Sacred Academy. It seemed that some terrifying magical beast was lurking below.
Lu Chen opened the Underworld Compass. When the other party was chasing them, they had deliberately forced the two of them into the Abyss of Eternal Calamity!
This abyss was larger than the Magic Eye Canyon in the Baishi Kingdom. Moreover, there was a dense forest under the canyon, and no one knew what was at the bottom of the Abyss of Eternal Calamity!
A moment later, seven or eight Hellhounds and a large number of Army of the Dead rushed out from the forest in all directions.
The Hellhounds closed in on the two of them step by step. The Army of the Dead had already surrounded them.
The leader was a demon. He looked at Lu Chen and Li Wei with a relaxed expression and laughed. "Run, keep running. Do you know what's behind us?"
"The Abyss of Eternal Calamity! Even we don't dare to go down, not to mention you living people. If you go down, you will be doomed eternally! "
"How bold of you to sneak into the City of the Dead Souls? Unfortunately, you forgot that this is the Underworld! The souls of the dead that you kill will come to our Nightmare City! "
"Hahahaha, how laughable. Who knows how many people who tried to escape were caught by us like this."
As he spoke, the man stopped smiling and his eyes were filled with murderous intent. "Alright, you have nowhere to run now. Come and replenish our army's provisions!"
At this moment, Li Wei suddenly said softly, "Jump down!"
"Ah?" Lu Chen did not react.
"This is our only way out. Once we are caught, we have no chance of winning! Not only that, once the door to the Underworld opens, the Demonic Academy, Fenglai Sacred Academy, and Celestial Fortress will all be finished! "
Lu Chen looked back at the Abyss of Eternal Calamity. Are you sure you want to jump down?
It seemed that this was their only way out!
