Chapter 230: Each Takes a Step Back



"Lan Tiao, you bastard..."

Zhuge Chengxi cursed softly, not daring to be negligent at all. Red flames appeared in his eyes, and he looked at everyone as much as possible.

"ah--"

"it hurts!"

"High Priest, please help me. God, please save me..."

“It hurts so much…”

Members of the Compassionate Tribe fell to the ground in pain one after another, but because there were so many of them, those behind were blocked by those in front.

Zhuge Chengxi couldn't look at everyone, and the group of Compassionate people who fell to the ground were quickly carried to the side by their companions. Although Zhuge Chengxi could have planted the Burning Heart Flame in more people while they were carrying them, but...

The high priest in the lead was clearly within Zhuge Chengxi's sight, but he never fell down.

The high priest's situation was different from Lan Tiao's. Because Lan Tiao had good intentions, he was not within the attack range of the Burning Heart Flame. However, there was a layer of hazy green light on the high priest's body, protecting him from the invasion of flames.

Upon seeing this, Zhuge Chengxi suddenly turned around and ran away, uttering sweet words as he ran, as if he wanted to greet Lan Tiao's eighteen generations of ancestors.

Lan Tiao was also angry when she heard this. You can scold me, but you can’t scold my family!

The green tear mark between Lan Tiao's eyebrows lit up, but it was useless because many of the tribesmen's tear marks were glowing green, but they could not restrain Zhuge Chengxi's actions.

At this moment, the high priest gave the order: "Don't use [Imprisonment], and don't use any abilities targeting him personally. Focus on the surrounding environment!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone woke up and began to trip up Zhuge Chengxi's path. For example, more than a dozen sharp thorns suddenly emerged from the ground, and tree branches quickly extended and entwined with each other like vines, forming a huge barrier.

On the branches bloomed many red flowers with a fragrant smell that made people feel dizzy just by taking a sniff.

Not only that, there are soft fat worms in the middle of the flowers. The fat worms are as white as snow and look smooth and tender like tofu. Each fat worm has a pair of transparent wings on its back.

They flew out of the flowers and flew towards Zhuge Chengxi.

Zhuge Chengxi's response was very simple. He simply used his spiritual power to sweep away all the fat bugs. At the same time, he pretended to throw flames behind him, but in fact he kept looking back and scanning the compassionate people who were chasing him from behind.

There were constant wailing sounds.

The high priest was going crazy.

As the leader of the entire tribe and the spokesperson of the gods walking on earth, his previous arrest operations were extremely smooth and he didn't need to show up at all. But today, he took action himself, but he couldn't do anything to the young man in red!

Every time a group of Compassionate people fell, the marks between their brows would dim, and some of the obstacles on the road ahead would disappear.

Zhuge Chengxi looked back frequently.

More and more members of the Compassionate Tribe fell.

The tear marks on the high priest's brow flashed wildly. He added many positive halos to himself, such as [Speed ​​Up], [Blessing], [Protection], etc., but he could not catch up with the young man in red.

Zhuge Chengxi not only has the Burning Heart Flame, he is also a spiritual master. When the Compassionate People used [Imprisonment] on him before, the spiritual power in his body was actually affected, but because he had the Burning Heart Flame, the effect was not very obvious, causing the Compassionate People to think that [Imprisonment] was useless and no longer used the imprisonment ability. Therefore, Zhuge Chengxi can use various spells unscrupulously to avoid the obstacles ahead. He can even use spells to condense attacks and quickly kill the Compassionate People.

However, Zhuge Chengxi did not come here to cause trouble or kill people. He wanted to see the "gods", so he chose this most painful and slow way of dying to give the believers enough time to pray to the gods.

Unfortunately, until now, the gods have not bestowed any blessings or miracles.

Zhuge Chengxi was very disappointed, so he placed his hopes on the high priest.

I hope the high priest can be powerful enough to scare the "gods" into coming.

Zhuge Chengxi paid special attention to the high priest, and all kinds of spiritual spells came down on the high priest, but all the attacks were blocked by the green light, and neither side could do anything to the other.

The high priest stopped and saw his tribesmen lying on the ground behind him, and his heart was broken.

"Go back to the mountain and stop chasing us!"

If you continue to chase him, you will only die in vain.

"Start the sacrificial ceremony as soon as possible after returning!" the high priest ordered again.

The tribesmen felt relieved. In fact, they had wanted to retreat a long time ago, but they did not dare to disobey the high priest's order, so they had no choice but to chase after him. Now, after hearing the high priest's words, everyone fled in all directions in an instant, and before running away, everyone did not forget to carry away a nearby injured companion.

"Ah..." Some tribesmen were slower and were unfortunately seen by Zhuge Chengxi, so they became injured and fell to the ground. Some people were luckier, their bodies were covered by trees and they escaped safely.

The high priest turned to look at Zhuge Chengxi and decided to divert the other party's attention by talking to cover his people's escape.

The high priest asked, "May I ask who you are? Are you a follower of another god?"

Zhuge Chengxi sneered, "What kind of believers are you talking about? I don't care about them! I am not a believer in anyone. If I must have faith, then I only believe in myself."

"That's impossible!" the high priest retorted loudly, adding, "Only gods can fight against gods! You must be a follower of the evil god, disguised as a thief, to cause trouble here!"

Zhuge Chengxi laughed and said, "There are evil gods in this world? Oh, right...isn't that the evil god you believe in?"

"The God of Compassion has mercy on all living things. He is holy and bright, and is the righteous deity!"

The high priest continued, "I advise you not to hurt anyone again, or you will disturb the gods and be damned forever!"

Zhuge Chengxi said coldly: "Oh."

"What does oh mean?" asked the high priest.

Zhuge Chengxi felt a little hot, so he blew himself some air with his folding fan and said nonchalantly, "It's nothing."

The high priest said, "You can't do anything to me now, and I can't do anything to you either. How about we each take a step back and call a truce?"

Zhuge Chengxi asked in surprise, "I've killed so many of your people, and you're willing to let me go?"

"I can't bring you to the statue..." the high priest said aggrievedly. In fact, he didn't feel much pain in his heart. He thought that after the death of his tribesmen, their souls would go to the kingdom of God and gain eternal life and freedom. From then on, they would be forever young and happy. This was a good thing. As for the pain they suffered before their death... that must be a test from the gods.
