"You said Shen Jue could use the puppet card to test the alien army in our place. I'm not sure if it will work. I have a bad feeling about it."
"Lord Shen is the most powerful among all the high-level magicians. Do you think she has any confidence or not? If she doesn't have confidence, then wouldn't we all be wasting our time?"
Besides, Lord Shen's actions are aimed at saving our lives; it's always better to be cautious than to make a mistake."
"But wouldn't the alien spirits find it unreasonable to just send out puppets like this? Wouldn't they be able to detect anything unusual?"
"All you need to know is that everything Lord Shen does is reasonable. We just need to follow his lead and fight the alien spirits. You don't have to use your brain or worry about anything. Isn't this the kind of battle you've always dreamed of?"
"That makes a lot of sense, I'll listen to you then."
Following far behind the puppet army, Shen Jue was distracted, controlling the puppets to keep up with the alien spirit legion while simultaneously gathering information from the interactions of the creatures behind her.
She suspected several traitors, and that day she silenced several of them.
Now, one remained on the island, while the other three followed them to the forbidden seas.
If they truly betrayed the sea creatures, then knowing that the army following the alien legion was a puppet army, the traitors would surely take action to inform the aliens.
If anything unusual happens, they'll be silenced, locked up, and sent away following the same procedure.
Besides guarding against traitors within the ranks of living beings, Shen Jue also assigned tasks to several other people.
Each person is responsible for a team, and each team consists of approximately three hundred people.
Zhao Keke, Li Ningyu, and Yan Xiaoyue appear to be positioned far apart, but from the air, they are closest to each other.
In the event of a riot, they can provide immediate support to the other side.
The others were also secretly on guard.
Shen Jue not only suspected Hai Shang Sheng Yun, but she also suspected that there were traitors among the players, so she had to be cautious.
Although the probability of a player being turned to join the alien forces is very small, Shen Jue still has to be on guard.
Therefore, she added a unique magical mark to each player's one-day invincibility defense card.
If a player betrays them and tries to frame them, the rebel will be tormented by the magic mark.
Of course, it would be even better if no players betrayed them; let's take it as a precaution.
As Shen Jue hurried along, she wondered when she would strike if she were the traitor.
She had thought of several opportune moments to make her move; now it was just a matter of whether the right person would appear at that time.
Shen Jue is not afraid of betrayers tipping him off, but he is afraid of betrayers playing dirty tricks behind his back.
While tipping them off, they also betray them at a crucial moment, which is extremely fatal.
She couldn't tolerate this happening, so she set up this puppet scheme. Firstly, it allowed her to find out the exact strength of the alien legion. Even if the alien legion pretended to attack, the damage data of the puppet could be used to deduce the overall strength of the alien legion.
Secondly, they wanted to test the traitors within their team, to see whether they would continue to betray their conscience and become lackeys of the alien spirits, or whether they would suddenly realize their mistakes and completely join the army to fight against the alien spirits.
Shen Jue is willing to give them a chance; it remains to be seen whether they can seize it.
As the group marched along, the closer they got to the forbidden sea, the more anxious the traitors became.
The reason they haven't taken action for so many days is mainly because they saw Shen Jue as a potential star. With her and the group of super-strong players behind her, they have never lost a direct confrontation with the alien army.
If they continue to work for the Otherworlders, they will not only receive no reward, but also have to endure their harsh treatment.
If the aliens win, they will be completely unpopular in the sea world.
The best outcome would be to become a subordinate of the alien race, spending all day searching for resources for them, until the day they become completely worthless.
If you're lucky, you might still be free; if you're unlucky, you'll probably be kicked away by the alien race without hesitation.
But if the aliens lose, they will have nowhere to go in the sea world either.
No living being would accept a family of traitors; their survival in the sea world would only become more difficult.
Whether they stick their necks out or not, they'll still get stabbed. Right now, they have no choice but to go down this path to the bitter end. They can only hope that the alien spirits can win. And if they want the alien spirits to win, they have to find an opportunity to take action and try to cooperate with the alien spirit army from the inside to completely destroy these creatures of all races.
It seems that Shen Jue had already noticed them before.
Two of the traitors hidden among them had been silenced by Shen Jue for a day and a night. Now that they dare to send messages to the alien spirits, they will immediately be put on Shen Jue's list of key targets for observation.
They had no choice but to stay alert and keep a close eye on Shen Jue's situation. If they wanted to inform the alien spirit, they had to do it secretly right under her nose.
After spending more than half a month together, they had come to understand Shen Jue's personality. Shen Jue was a woman of her word, and once she found fault with them, they would face severe repercussions.
Gazing at the figure leading the way, the traitors fell silent, no longer uttering a word.
Now is not the right time to act; they must continue to wait.
...
Shen Jue, Mou Xingran, and others had been to the Forbidden Sea before and knew the route to it.
Speaking of which, there is another tribe in the Forbidden Sea who are their enemies.
Back then, Shen Jue wiped out all the ghosts who were chasing them. Judging from the numbers they used, there must have been quite a few ghosts.
The Forbidden Sea is so vast, it's unknown whether the Ghost Clan has encountered the Alien Legion. Based on simple deductions, the probability of them meeting is probably quite low, since the Ghost Clan lives in the uninhabited underwater area.
The alien spirits aren't that free; they're going to search the uninhabited underwater area.
However, Shen Jue was not entirely certain that the Ghost Clan would never encounter the Alien Legion.
Given the Ghost Clan's vengeful nature, they might actually suit the tastes of the Otherworldly Spirits.
Two of the worst races in the world have a chance of cooperating.
Of course, all of this is just Shen Jue's speculation.
Even if she were a master of divination, she couldn't accurately predict people's hearts before things even happened.
This deduction is simply because Shen Jue often anticipates the worst-case scenario when making decisions, to see if she can accept it.
If the outcome is within her tolerance, Shen Jue will do it.
Having already predicted the outcome, Shen Jue was prepared to encounter the combined forces of the alien spirit army and the ghost clan after entering the forbidden sea.
Shen Jue also told her friends, her third and fourth sisters, about her worries.
Balsa: "Oh dear, Xiao Jue, you're too quick to think the worst. Let's look at the bright side. This sea is so vast, and the Ghost Clan has lived here for so long. You killed one of their people last time, so they definitely won't dare to come out anytime soon."
"Don't jump to conclusions. Xiao Jue's intuition is usually very accurate. Haven't we been through enough things in the past?"
Mu Xingran interrupted Balsa, who was a sister-obsessed girl. Once Mu Xingran spoke, Balsa stopped arguing and quietly acted like a quail.
In fact, the others also felt that Shen Jue was overthinking things and wanted to advise him, but seeing that Lord Mu Xingran had said that they should have foresight and listen to Shen Jue, these creatures from various races did not dare to contradict Mu Xingran.
Clearly, Mu Xingran, the high priest who teaches advanced magic, is quite intimidating.
"The alien legion has already crossed the forbidden sea and entered the barrier. The puppet legion, which is 30 miles ahead of us, is estimated to arrive at the forbidden sea in 20 minutes."
"To avoid any traps, let's stay as far away from the puppet army as possible. After I use other small puppets to scout out the situation, we'll launch a full-scale attack."
As they walked on the sea, Shen Jue spoke these words. Although her voice was not loud, she used a prop card similar to a megaphone to transmit her voice to the ears of every living being, striving to ensure that everyone could hear it.
The creatures still on their journey tensed up and became serious; on the eve of a great battle, they could not afford to joke.
Even though they haven't started fighting yet, they still need to follow orders, listen to Shen Jue's commands at all times, and familiarize themselves with them so that they can react more quickly when the battle begins.
As soon as the alien legion entered the forbidden sea, it informed the other alien legions that it had attracted all the mainstays of the sea creatures.
The remaining two-thirds of the alien army were very satisfied upon hearing this news. Following the alien king's plan, they lay in ambush around the forbidden sea. Once those creatures and humans with strange abilities entered the forbidden sea, they would kill them on the spot, leaving no survivors, and eliminate them all. Then they would go and destroy the homelands of other creatures, so that the entire planet would be dominated by their alien race.
After seizing enough resources and cultivating oneself for a hundred years, one can return to other planets to continue the war, instead of spending one's retirement here.
