Chapter 35 Bait
When Xi'er stepped forward to call for help, naturally no one would refuse.
Bo Yiyan was the first to arrive, followed closely by Matt and Mina. After listening to the siblings' plan, neither of them had any objections.
In Bo Yiyan's view, it was just like playing a game with them. No matter how powerful the Endless Lord who dared to rebel was, or how many rebels followed him, he couldn't withstand his poison.
Since arriving on the Dust Continent, he has gained some understanding of the strength of the Purple Demons here.
When the Purple Demon uses its invincible cheat, it needs a large amount of spiritual power to support it.
Back in the Misty Heavenly Realm, where the spiritual energy was abundant, their invincible state could be maintained for half an hour.
However, on this Dust Continent where spiritual energy is extremely scarce, the Purple Demon's invincible state can only be maintained for a quarter of an hour at most, and it also consumes half of its own spiritual power.
Bo Yiyan, a seasoned veteran, was naturally not afraid of such a purple demon.
His only concern was that this Endless Lord would have too many loyal followers who could use their numbers to deal with them.
“Xi’er, Achen, if you want to complete this plan, you must act quickly,” Bo Yi said.
"Well, so we need to ask Uncle Matt to find out his exact location and how many people are with him."
We'll divide the work: Xi'er will be responsible for attracting the attention of most of the rebels, while Uncle Xiaobao, Aunt Lingdeng, and Long Batian will be responsible for dealing with his guards.
Uncle Bo used poison to deplete his invincible state. Once the state was over, I used the mental cage to capture him.
Fusheng and Ruomeng are responsible for monitoring and resolving uncontrollable accidents.
Once the mission was complete, Aunt Mina immediately used a tornado to carry us all away from the rebels' lair.
Ah Chen explained his plan in detail, and the three adults who came to help couldn't help but praise him.
After all, he is only sixteen years old, yet he has such a meticulous mind, courage and resourcefulness. Given time, his achievements will surely surpass those of Xiaobai back then.
When Ah Chen teleported away yesterday, he left a mental imprint on those two gossipy blue demons.
Following the spiritual imprints, they quickly found the rebels.
However, they discovered that of the original hundred-plus rebels, only a dozen or so remained.
"It seems they've broken up into smaller groups and are heading to the Great Abyss Sea in batches," Achen said.
“Don’t worry, since you informed the High Priest about this in advance, they should have a corresponding plan,” Bo Yi said.
In his opinion, this matter should not be handled by the two children at all, but since they wanted to participate, he would play along with them.
While the dozen or so rebels were on their way, Matt used a soul-capturing spell to control the bodies of the two chattering blue demons, allowing them to quietly slip away from the group.
Then they tried to extract information from them, hoping to find out where the Endless Lords' lair was.
The result was nothing; they had no idea that only the leader, the Purple Demon, was qualified to receive instructions from the Endless Lord.
"Big brother, if we can't find the person, how are we supposed to catch the leader?" Xi'er said dejectedly.
Ah Chen was actually a little frustrated. He had originally thought that even if this was not a sure thing, the chances of success were still very high.
But now, no one can be found.
As for the Purple Demon who led the team, it was simply impossible for him to take it down quietly.
As a top-tier fighter of the Fine Demon Clan, if she were really that easy to deal with, the Fine Demon Clan would probably have been wiped out long ago.
"Why don't we just let me be the bait and go for it?" Xi'er said decisively. She didn't have the patience to let things fester here; she preferred a quick and decisive battle.
"At this point, there's no other way," Ah Chen said.
He wasn't worried about using Xi'er as bait, since there were so many of them secretly protecting him.
Moreover, she has Fusheng and Ruomeng by her side, both of whom have now taken human form and are quite powerful in combat.
If it weren't for obtaining useful information, they could have easily wiped out this purple demon, along with five blue demons and eight green demons.
Xi'er chose a spot not far ahead, a small puddle.
This place is more than 200 miles away from the Great Abyss Sea, and it was once home to several hundred members of the Fine Demon Clan.
However, due to drought, the water area that was originally several hundred square meters has now dwindled to just a small puddle of about fifty square meters.
All the better-qualified members of the Fine Demon Clan had already left, leaving only thirty-odd old and weak Yellow Demons with poor aptitude to eke out a living here.
This was also something Matt discovered when he used his mental network to investigate on his way here.
Xi'er originally planned to come over and help purify the small puddle after completing this task.
But now that we're going to use this as bait, we have to make use of this little puddle.
Xi'er then deliberately piloted the spirit boat, flying over the heads of the dozen or so rebels.
After circling in the air for a long time, she turned back and landed in front of this small puddle.
She had been flying very low, which had already alerted the dozen or so rebels.
Those people's eyes turned red when they saw her spirit boat, but they held back because they had more important things to do at the moment and dared not cause trouble.
But when they saw the spirit boat land in front of that small puddle, they couldn't help but be moved.
One of the two talkative blue demons ran up to the leader, the purple demon, and said, "Lord Purple 76, this is a golden opportunity! It would be such a pity to miss out on such a flying artifact!"
"Hmph! Do you think I don't know?"
Besides the Purple Demon of the Great Abyss Sea, only those otherworldly cultivators who came with the High Priest possessed such flying magical artifacts.
The intelligence says that these otherworldly cultivators are highly respected by the High Priest, and if we want to seize this flying artifact, we must drain them dry as well.
"I'm afraid that if they discover someone is missing, they'll report it to the High Priest, which will attract the attention of the Great Abyss Sea Enforcement Team," the team leader, Purple Demon, hesitated.
He ranked 76th in the previous tournament, hence the nickname "Purple 76".
Although Zi76 was still hesitant, he ordered everyone to rest on the spot while he quietly concealed his presence and went to investigate.
Xi'er pretended not to notice him following her and took the initiative to greet the yellow demons in the puddle.
Then she told them that she would help them clean up the puddles.
These people had already heard the legend of Goddess Bai Xi, and now that they saw her lovely and delicate appearance, they confirmed her identity.
In an instant, all thirty-odd yellow demons knelt down, the eldest of whom, with tears of gratitude, said:
"Thank you, God's messenger, for coming to our aid and saving us from our suffering. Goddess Bai Xi, you have purified this water for us. We will pray for you for the rest of our lives and be your most loyal believers."
Without wasting any words, Xi'er immediately began to cast the purification spell.
This small puddle of water, spanning only fifty square meters, is nothing to her now.
In just over ten minutes, the small puddle visibly became clear and transparent, and the old yellow demons whose roots had begun to rot found that their roots were slowly recovering.
Soon, more than thirty beams of faith entered Xi'er's body.
Zi76, who was hiding in the shadows and spying, had only heard of the name of Goddess Bai Xi before, but had never seen with his own eyes how she purified the water.
This time, he really had his eyes opened.
Shocked and trembling, Purple 76 suddenly began to waver on the idea of rebellion.
The reason he chose to follow the Endless Lord was not only because of his powerful combat strength, but more importantly, because he saw how well the Fine Demon people of the Endless Sea treated him.
Compared to those lords who exploit and bully the weaker yellow demons all day long, the Endless Lords treat the yellow demons much better.
Within his territory, the Yellow Demons can receive his protection and will not be bullied by the Green and Blue Demons as long as they pay a sufficient number of Dawnstones.
Compared to other major lords, Endless Lord has gained the recognition of many smaller lords in the surrounding area.
Individual players like Zi76, often acting as lone wolves, usually have their own choices.
Some chose to become ruthless lords, oppressing the yellow demons within their territories and plundering more high-quality Dawnstones.
Purple76 is kind by nature, so he chose to follow the Endless Lord and become one of his loyal followers.
But at this moment, he wanted to switch masters.
The little girl in front of me, although she came from another world, had a kinder heart than the Endless Lord and all the other Demon Lords.
She did not despise these sick and weak yellow demons, nor did she ask them for payment. Instead, she took the initiative to purify the waters for them.
Putting aside how miraculous her ability to purify waters was, the fact that she disregarded personal gain and was willing to do these things for unrelated, lowly alien races was enough to make him admire her wholeheartedly.
Zi76 then realized that his purpose in coming here was to follow the Endless Lord to kill the High Priest and seize control of the Great Abyss Sea.
Because the Endless Lord said that once he became the High Priest, he would give all the Demon Clan members of the entire Dust Continent the opportunity to enter the Great Abyss Sea and live a good life.
The Endless Lord also said that the Great Abyss Sea belongs to every member of the Fine Demon race and should not only accommodate those with superior aptitude.
However, Zi76 understood very well that to achieve this goal, a large number of his people would inevitably die.
What he found even more difficult to accept was that the High Priest had made many efforts for the survival of the entire Demon race.
He led his talented members of the Demon Clan on countless expeditions to plunder resources from other races.
The only reason Zi76 could convince himself to rebel with the Endless Lord was that he wanted to create a world without distinction of high or low status.
This will allow the old, weak, and sick members of the Demon Clan to enjoy the resources of the Great Abyss Sea.
However, the resources of the Great Abyss Sea are limited and cannot be enjoyed by all the people.
This war would inevitably reduce the number of people to a certain extent.
But if he follows Goddess Bai Xi and waits for her to grow up, she will surely be able to purify enough pure water for all the people to survive, right?
Isn't this much better than killing the high priest and openly waging war against the people of the Great Abyss Sea?
