73: Chapter 34 Breaking Army!

Phantom Mask Strategy’s divination ability was highly accurate, and it was one of the few taboo items willing to communicate normally with humans.

According to what it claimed, it had been conscious a thousand years ago and had witnessed many changes in human history.

It had once used its powerful divination ability to save a village from disaster and had been revered as a sacred relic.

It had also been deemed an evil object and discarded in an ancient well.

Though it often spoke in riddles, it was undeniable.

Now, it was the assistance everyone needed most—its divination ability could help everyone find the Mobius Ring Map the fastest.

Thus, after a brief rest, Li Yelai and the others took action once again.

Relying on the Phantom Mask Strategy that provided and enhanced the divination ability, Sha Li formed the nine-character handprint, divined swiftly, and led everyone through quickly.

“It’s useless, fools, this amount of time isn’t enough for you to safely traverse the maze!” Nuomian continued to be pessimistic, “Go back!

I can take you out of the maze!

Do you not have the will to survive?”

Sha Li sneered, “I know, but we…

didn’t say it had to be safe!”

With that, she pushed open the door of a containment room.

Behind the door was not a containment room, however, but a long corridor.

From deep within the corridor, there emerged sounds of intense fighting and cursing.

It was likely that someone was suppressing the Concealing Scarf.

Seeing this scene, Nuomian was clearly shocked.

And Li Yelai also reacted instantly.

Because this was not a safe route, this path would encounter several dangerous taboo items!

But it was indeed the fastest route!

Sha Li, in pursuit of precious time, had forsaken the safe route and chosen the shortest path through the taboo items’ active range!

Only in this way could they barely make it to the location of the Mobius Ring Map in time.

Humans might never understand the mysterious power contained by the Phantom Mask Strategy.

But likewise, the Phantom Mask Strategy could never understand humans’ courage and responsibility!

Nor could it understand the Processors.

They resisted calamity, suppressed taboos, looked out for the populace, and sometimes even drew blades against one another to send off former teammates.

They were the most steadfast guardians of the human race and sufferers struggling on the edge of life and death.

They sought life in the face of death!

Li Yelai had long known this, but seeing Sha Li’s actions, he couldn’t help feeling shocked and admiring.

“Civilians stay behind, the safe route is to the left.

Everyone else, follow!” Sha Li shouted, leading the charge into the corridor.

Li Yelai did not hesitate and followed Cheese into the corridor.

With Black Shadow as his trump card, how could he back down here?

Behind him, civilian personnel wanted to follow immediately, “We’re also members of the Processing Department, don’t look down on us…”

But were immediately pulled away by a colleague, “You can’t keep up with them, don’t drag them down, go!”

“Take care you guys!”

…

Meanwhile, the five Processors and one Iron Guard moved through the corridor at the highest speed.

“Up ahead!” Sha Li’s slightly hoarse voice suddenly rang out.

Li Yelai looked up and saw a mass of tree trunks and branches spreading from who knows where.

They almost covered the entire ceiling.

Perched atop were groups of pitch-black abnormal birds, with sharp claws and beaks, and blood-red glowing eyes that were distinctly visible among the trees.

The branches also bore some human remains, their innards exposed and ripped apart in a struggle.

It was like a human version of hell!

They were Level C taboo items, offshoots of the Falling Spirit Tree!

After going out of control, they were born from the spreading branches and began to hunt humans.

And they had already successfully killed quite a few.

Seeing the corpses of the civilian personnel torn apart, Li Yelai felt a surge of anger well up from his chest.

At this moment, the creatures seemed to have noticed the arrival of Li Yelai and the others, countless bizarre birds took flight, gathering and circling, seemingly preparing for their next hunt.

“There are too many, don’t engage!” Cheese suddenly spoke, “Xiao Ye, Beast Language!”

Beast Language?

Right, these birds were just offshoots, not even considered extraordinary creatures!

Li Yelai’s mind flashed, and he immediately deployed the Virtual Realm Beast Language, “Disperse!”

Obscure words were spoken.

In an instant, the birds that had initially gathered dispersed, giving the group a clear path.

But soon, some birds struggled free from the command of the Beast Language and began to chase after them.

Li Yelai had no choice but to speak again, using the Virtual Realm Beast Language, “Go back!”

Many birds landed again, although they broke free from the command after a few seconds.

However, Li Yelai and the others had already successfully run a distance.

And they saw a crossroad tens of meters away.

At that moment, Sha Li, who was at the very front, shouted, “There’s something at the left corner, leave someone to hold it off!”

That Iron Guard immediately responded, raising his hot melt gun, “I’ll do it!”

Indeed, this was the most prudent method.

Leaving one person to hold off a taboo item would allow the others to pass quickly.

But facing a taboo item alone, the risk was unspeakable.

It was about sacrificing one’s own life to pave a safe path for comrades—a path that could save many more!

But…

it wasn’t that time yet!

Li Yelai’s heart pounded rapidly, and he quickly spoke, “You all go, I have a trump card!

Don’t look back!”

“Don’t do anything rash!” Cheese scolded softly.

“Trust me, keep moving forward, close your eyes!” Li Yelai yelled, accelerating and rushing to the crossroads, heading directly to the left.

Behind him, his teammates clenched their teeth and closed their eyes as they rushed past the crossroads, ultimately choosing to trust Li Yelai.

And as Li Yelai charged around the corner, he saw a human-sized black stone statue, carved entirely from black stone, with wings and sharp tusks—a demon statue.
