Global Mutation: Opening with Swallowing a Black Mamba-Chapter 428 - 429: Evil Moon Battleaxe! Encirclement and the Great Escape!
Lin Yi’s spiritual power swept across the entire battlefield.
Then his attention locked onto Gu Qijue.
He knew he was saved, rescued in an unimaginable way.
All because of Gu Qijue, who possesses the ability to manipulate necromantic energy.
However, Lin Yi didn’t ask anything and urgently said, "Let’s get out of here quickly, everyone move to the underground palace."
Situ Jing queried in confusion, "Master Lin Yi, has something happened?"
Lin Yi nodded and said, "Our gathering point, along with over a dozen surrounding gathering points, have been discovered by the Lizard People."
"A large number of Lizard People are quickly assembling to completely eliminate us."
Situ Jing’s face turned extremely ugly.
She immediately didn’t hesitate and went to inform everyone.
A burly man carried the still recovering Master Lin Yi on his back.
Situ Jing notified the others and quickly came to Gu Qijue, saying, "A large number of Lizardman Warriors are arriving."
"You quickly evacuate with us, don’t worry about the remaining Lizard People."
Although Gu Qijue felt he didn’t need to follow Situ Jing and the others, constantly dodging.
But it was necessary to inquire about news from Situ Jing and her group.
So when Situ Jing spoke, he nodded.
Next, Gu Qijue left the place along with Situ Jing and the others.
On the evacuation route, Gu Qijue began to ask Situ Jing about the situation:
"Can you tell me about the situation here now?"
Without hesitation, Situ Jing nodded, "Our faction is called Divine Jade City."
"At the earliest times, Divine Jade City was an extremely powerful city."
"We not only dared to suppress Wanderers actively, but we often fought face-to-face against the Heaven-Fighting Race!"
When mentioning these glorious days, a proud expression couldn’t help but appear on her exquisite and beautiful oval face.
Gu Qijue didn’t interrupt and waited for this little beauty to continue.
He only understood the nearby situation of Snow Mountain Territory now and had limited knowledge of other regions in the Heaven-Fighting Universe.
Situ Jing quickly continued, "At its peak, Divine Jade City had two million Warriors of Ten Thousand Races!"
"But under the attacks from the Heaven-Fighting Race, eventually the city was destroyed, and its people perished."
"So the City Lord began to disperse the remaining people."
"Whether it’s several people or dozens to hundreds, they form squads to survive."
"Once we become slightly stable, we could try to contact the City Lord’s Mansion."
"The City Lord’s Mansion would support us with the Teleportation Array and other supplies."
"Initially, there were around several hundred scattered gathering points, now there are ten thousand."
"We can freely trade between these gathering points using the Teleportation Array."
"Additionally, the City Lord’s Mansion would organize us for medium to large battles."
After speaking, Gu Qijue understood immediately.
This is a tactic that can ignite a blaze from a single spark.
Moreover, this tactic is very effective, allowing the originally nearly annihilated Divine Jade City to rise again.
Divine Jade City now has ten thousand gathering points; even if each gathering point averages only a hundred people, Divine Jade City now has a million warriors.
These gathering points are highly coordinated with the City Lord’s Mansion.
All medium to large battles are directly commanded and scheduled by the City Lord’s Mansion, which has great control over all parties.
Once the timing is suitable, the City Lord of Divine Jade City can rebuild Divine Jade City anywhere.
In facing the Heaven-Fighting Race and their hunting dogs, the City Lord has undoubtedly found a path of survival for Divine Jade City.
At this moment, Gu Qijue couldn’t help but become curious about this City Lord of Divine Jade City.
However, their evacuation route was destined not to be smooth sailing.
Before they had evacuated for long, several scouts responsible for gathering intelligence returned with increasingly grim news.
"Master Lin Yi, Vice-Captain Situ Jing, we are roughly surrounded."
"Not only us, but warriors from over a dozen other gathering points are also surrounded."
"A large number of Lizard People, warriors of the Viper Race, and Giant Insect Race have appeared around."
"These Heaven-Fighting Race henchmen want to completely eradicate us!"
Though Master Lin Yi was injured, his mind was as sharp as ever.
He said very calmly, "Retreat to the underground palace, the underground palace is our last hope."
"As long as we enter the underground palace and utilize its complex environment and wide-reaching features."
"We can maneuver better against these riffraff in the underground palace."
Master Lin Yi’s words were of course correct, but there was a problem.
Because at this time, a scout reported: "Master Lin Yi, three thousand Lizard People are following us."
"They are advancing very rapidly and will catch up within twenty minutes."
This was news that made everyone despair; there were over a thousand people here.
But aside from Situ Jing and a few dozen others, all were heavily injured.
At this time, someone must stay behind to cover the rear, and they must have the ability to do so.
Otherwise, there would be no possibility of evacuation for the others.
Gu Qijue did not let everyone feel embarrassed and casually said, "You continue evacuating, I’ll stay behind to cover."
Master Lin Yi did not speak, but solemnly took out a box from the storage treasure and handed it to Gu Qijue.
Gu Qijue felt the necromantic energy from the box, and his heart couldn’t help but react.
However, after opening the box, he felt somewhat helpless.
It was a very top-grade weapon, with a rank as high as C-Tier, even considered intermediate to advanced C-Tier.
Unfortunately, this item was damaged.
Master Lin Yi said helplessly, "This is the Evil Moon Battleaxe; it should be of some help to you."
"You possess the ability to manipulate undead, now only you can save everyone."
"But you do not need to fight to the death, just hold them off for a while or retreat when sensing danger."
"I estimate that the three thousand Lizard People chasing us are just a small detachment."
"There must be a large force behind, possibly even a Heaven-Fighting Race approaching."
"You must not become entrenched in battle; find a way to leave the battlefield within twenty minutes."
"After you leave, this Hai Dongqing will tell you where to find us."
The Hai Dongqing Master Lin Yi referred to was a wooden carving.
But it was clearly a treasure artifact; after infusing energy, this wood carving could transform into a guide Hai Dongqing.
Gu Qijue nodded and said, "I understand."
He didn’t actually understand Master Lin Yi’s intention; when Master Lin Yi told him not to become entrenched, he meant to fight the Lizard People for a while and then run.
Gu Qijue’s idea, on the other hand, was to fight swiftly and decisively, eliminate all Lizard People and end the battle early, thus not allowing himself to become entrenched.
