"Nightmare, the movent technique of Demoness and Soul Destroyer is very fast, and along with a few Hidden Guards, if I’m not mistaken, they should be able to swiftly pass through the forest road, by tomorrow noon, oh no, by tomorrow morning, leave the ruins," Ye Shikai analyzed. The crowd seed still stunned by his decision, especially Emily, her face slightly flushed, probably because she misunderstood his intentions earlier, thinking he was a person who disregards friendship and loyalty.
The most crucial thing is, they are all Ye Shikai’s trusted aides, having them escort Ji Qian gives Ye Shikai peace of mind.
"Qian, have a good sleep, after you wake up, you’ll be out," Ye Shikai bent down, whispering gently in her ear, although Ji Qian is now unconscious, unable to hear his words, he still spoke very seriously, word by word.
"Nightmare, I’ll give you an address, once you leave the ruins, imdiately take Ji Qian to find Wuyan, earnestly plead for her help, if we have no accidents here, we should also leave the ruins by tomorrow afternoon, by then I’ll co find you." Ye Shikai took out a piece of paper from his bag, wrote a few words "swish swish swish" and handed it to Nightmare.
"Okay, you can rest assured, my lord, I will certainly send Lord Moon God out." Nightmare morized the address in his heart, put the note in his pocket.
"Let’s plan this way, does anyone have different opinions?" Ye Shikai said, and everyone nodded in agreent. Ye Shikai himself chose to take the Plain Road, personally taking risks, what more could they say? Besides, there seems to be no better decision in sight.
"Old Ye, why don’t you leave with Nightmare, since you said the plain is more dangerous, going would be sending yourself to death." Wang Kai advised.
"Hades, why don’t you listen to Ares’s suggestion, now we are at a disadvantage, if you really go, I fear we cannot ensure your safety," Athena still cared for Ye Shikai in her heart. Once, she dared to love and hate him, when she hated Ye Shikai, she wished to "dismber him into pieces", when she loved him, she wished the whole world knew. Now, she seems to have gradually hidden her affections, never ntioning her relationship with Ye Shikai in public.
However, since the last ti at the God King Hall, Athena has been helping Ye Shikai unconditionally, rescuing him from crises ti and ti again, everyone can see this.
"No, I must take that route, or if Aphrodite sees through the disguise, Nightmare will be in great danger," Ye Shikai shook his head. Emily’s expression was complicated, she is not from the Three Temples, joining Ye Shikai and others purely due to shared interests, so she "consciously" chose to listen quietly on the side. Of course, she also knew clearly that her words held no weight among them, not even anyone would heed her.
Aphrodite is determined to kill everyone, Emily knows she’s too weak alone, the only option is to cooperate with the Three Temples to deal with that "demoness."
"Nightmare, ti is of the essence, depart imdiately, if ambushed, don’t linger, evade quickly and leave," Ye Shikai still didn’t forget to instruct before leaving.
"Rest assured, my lord, I understand," Nightmare carried Ji Qian on his back, three Netherworld Palace warriors with the remaining Hidden Guards dashed towards the forest.
"We should also set off, while it’s dark, even if we’re ambushed, it’s easier to escape," Ye Shikai turned and spoke to the crowd. On Plain Road, it’s "vast and level", if you recklessly advance without preparing a position first, you will certainly suffer.
.....................
"Old Ye, did you ss up, it’s calm here, not even bushes around, doesn’t look like a place for ambush at all," the crowd lay on a nearby dirt hill, carefully watching the movents on the plain, silent, the night breeze blew by, making it feel desolate.
"Indeed, there’s no shrubbery within a kiloter around the road, this place isn’t suitable for an ambush. If we pass through here, even if Aphrodite really ambushed nearby, the distance is too far, by the ti she reaches us, she wouldn’t even see our backs. Hades, did you misjudge?" Athena examined the surroundings carefully, only hearing the sound of wind, indeed not resembling a place with people.
"This is just a facade," Ye Shikai said coldly, during Dragon Teeth, the mbers inside were scout experts, proficient in scouting and anti-scouting skills, such level of camouflage could not deceive Ye Shikai’s eyes.
Ye Shikai took out a crossbow, which he got from the shot bowman during the recent battle, with more than ten poisonous arrows.
Setting up the crossbow arrow, Ye Shikai aid at a small mound not far away.
Whoosh.
The crossbow arrow fired, piercing the "small mound," however, the next scene shocked everyone, that "small mound" suddenly stood up, but collapsed again after a few monts, unmoving, it wasn’t a "mound", but a person wearing camouflage clothes.
The poisonous arrows contained potent toxins, quickly causing death upon contact, these people... were indeed Aphrodite’s subordinates.
"There really are people," Wang Kai exclaid excitedly, nearly shouting, never expecting there was still an ambush here. If so, then... how many such "small mounds" are along this road.
"Why is there no movent," looking at the poisoned person lying dead, yet there was no movent around, like a corpse in the desert, ignored.
"If they move, they’re really exposed, and now they haven’t found our location, blindly moving will only beco a target," Ye Shikai said coldly, while loading another crossbow arrow.
"Alright, I’ll call them one by one today," Ye Shikai shot arrow after arrow at the roadside below, and each shot hit the target. Everyone was stunned, though not expert camouflagers, Aphrodite’s subordinates’ disguises are indeed masterful, but in front of Ye Shikai, they were like naked targets.
"Everyone, take action."
Finally, soone couldn’t bear it, their camouflage was useless in front of Ye Shikai, everyone stood up simultaneously, discarded their camouflage clothes.
"So many people," Wang Kai couldn’t help but exclaim, seeing the people below, at least seven or eighty individuals, dark night, crowded and chaotic, Ye Shikai couldn’t see who was leading, but... if not mistaken, it should be Aphrodite herself.
