"Splash—"
The sound of a dark figure poking at clods of earth rang out above everyone's heads.
The blacksmith, trembling, hugged Levin and said, "Wife..."
Levin clenched her fists, silently calling out the name of Taotie in her heart. She could sense the presence of the Taotie god; why hadn't the god come to save them?
The shadowy figure slowly cleared away the items on the table, cruelly torturing the people under the table in the slowest possible way.
The table slowly became clean. The blacksmith saw a huge foot not far away. His gaze slowly moved up the giant leg, but suddenly met a pair of blood-red eyes.
The shadowy figure bent down and looked at the people under the table. A huge finger pressed down from the gap, like a human pressing down on an ant.
The blacksmith closed his eyes in despair.
"Boom——"
With a crisp sound, a faint golden light enveloped the blacksmith. The golden light was not conspicuous, but it completely blocked the power of the shadow.
The shadowy figure raised a finger in confusion, not quite understanding why the little figure under the table hadn't been crushed into pieces.
The shadowy figure didn't seem to have high intelligence; when faced with something it couldn't understand, it chose to give up and find another target.
However, the next target was still protected by the golden light. No matter which little figure it pressed, the expected minced meat did not appear.
Humans who believe in gods have an impregnable defense.
Just like the Holy Temple, which is under attack at this moment.
Today is the seventh day, and Xia Chuhe is still in the Tian Sheng Temple.
Ignoring Bu Yi's advice, Li Qiusheng told Xin Diao and others the truth about Xia Chuhe.
None of Xia Chuhe's companions who had come this far could tolerate him being left alone in danger. They immediately prepared and set off, leading their most elite evolved beings to attack the Temple of the Heavenly God.
Except for Bao'er and Long Nu, who are too young, Bu Yi, Li Yue, and Zhu Guanshan stayed in Taotie City just in case, everyone else came.
A large procession surrounded the front and back gates of the Heavenly God Temple. Li Qiusheng shouted, demanding that the people inside hand over Xia Chuhe.
“Your city lord is long dead. All that’s left in the city is a rotting, stinking corpse. If you want it, come in and take it yourself.”
After arrogantly finishing his speech, the high priest calmly ordered the patrol team and guards to retreat underground, activated his Holy Light Golden Armor, and left an empty city on the ground for Li Qiusheng and the others.
The Holy Light Golden Armor is the protection that the Land of Rules bestows upon the Heavenly Temple. As long as the Land of Rules remains intact, the Golden Armor will never break.
Just like the ceaseless sandstorms of Sand City, the Silent City's rules of silence are forever in effect.
The group searched the empty city on the surface thoroughly, but couldn't find a single entrance to descend. Even Li Qiusheng's earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magical ability) was firmly blocked by the golden armor. Among hundreds and thousands of supernatural abilities, they couldn't find a single way to break into the underground city of the Heavenly God Temple.
Li Qiusheng was so anxious he wanted to bite his nails.
Inside the Temple of the Heavenly God, the High Priest sent Lu Yunzhao news of the Taotie City's attack on the Temple of the Heavenly God, and also flattered Lu Yunzhao, guaranteeing that the person killed in the last live broadcast was definitely Xia Chuhe.
If it weren't for Xia Chuhe, why would the people of Taotie City be in such a hurry to come directly to the Heavenly God Temple to demand people?
Upon receiving the news, Lu Yunzhao felt a great sense of relief, finally removing the stumbling block that had been blocking his way for so long.
[The elite troops of Taotie City are all at the Heavenly God Temple. Immediately dispatch an elite squad to bypass the trading market and Dream Chaser City, and head straight for Taotie City.]
As one of the heirs of the Lu family, Lu Yunzhao controlled a significant portion of the base's resources. This message was sent to the Cape Base on the border. The elite team departed in the morning and would arrive in Taotie City by the afternoon.
What Lu Yunzhao didn't expect was that Wang Mei, who was deeply trusted by the base, had already been turned by Taotie City. Her message had just been sent to the Cape Base, and less than ten minutes later, Bu Yi received the same message on his wrist, word for word.
Bu Yi and Li Yue discussed how to deal with the situation. Li Yue said, "If we call Xiao Qiu and the others back now, we should be able to protect Taotie City in time. An elite team shouldn't be a problem."
“It’s not a problem with the elite team. Cape Base wanted to launch a sneak attack, but we were prepared. Doesn’t that mean we have an inside man at Cape Base?” Bu Yi shook his head and said, “Wang Mei, we can’t expose ourselves yet.”
"What can we do then? We can't just leave the doors wide open and let them fight, can we?"
"Evacuate some people and property first, leaving behind a false prosperous place, and let Wang Mei guide them to fight." Bu Yi had no other choice but to try to minimize the losses.
"Wait!" Zhu Guanshan interrupted Bu Yi's typing, pointing to the map, "Remember when I told the city lord that the romance instance was moving towards Taotie City? It has now moved to the location we agreed on with the city lord. If the instance's location were a little more off-center, it might be able to trap the elite team from the Cape Base directly in the instance."
The Love Dungeon, a hell of no love, was a place where Bu Yi suffered terribly; how could he forget it?
The romance instance was created for Xiao Ai. If Xiao Ai were to discuss it with the instance's boss, the boss would definitely agree. However, Xiao Ai is not here; she went to the Heavenly God Temple with Li Qiusheng.
Li Yue said, "I'll go. I know what Cupid wants. I'll talk to her."
Those who have experienced the Love Quest know what Cupid wants: she wants Xiao Ai's forgiveness and wants to reconcile with Xiao Ai as before.
It wasn't difficult for Li Yue to persuade her.
Not long after Li Yue entered the Romance instance, its location on the live map began to change.
Using a mobile copy to intercept the elite squad at Cape Base, even if the people at Cape Base suspect something, they won't suspect Wang Mei.
The events surrounding Taotie City are all certain and need no further explanation.
The most difficult thing to determine at this moment is the change within the rules-bound land.
When the golden light protecting the believers, bestowed by the God of Gluttony, shone, the divine messengers in Heaven finally realized that a portion of the authority belonging to the seven great gods had been stolen by a thief who had appeared out of nowhere.
As the ultimate ruler of this land of rules, the divine messenger quickly located the thief—the newly arrived Xia family villager had refused to worship the goddess of chastity, and sure enough, he was up to no good!
