Let the Bull of the Skycar take a few steps back to the time when Ash and Amodo passed by each other.
Although they had implicated another magician they had met by chance, Ash and the others felt no guilt, after all, they had also seen him cast a miracle to try to attack them. With this encounter that they had known each other for a long time, they felt at ease to hand over the important task of cutting off the rear to him.
By the way, they encountered several magicians along the way, and almost without exception, they raised their hands to attack them. Ash and his friends were worried about the average quality of the magicians, and they stepped on the accelerator and drove away, deciding not to bother with them.
"Why are they still chasing us?!" The village girl heard the rumbling of the army behind her with no sign of stopping, and scratched her head in distress: "Don't they say that good beasts will stop chasing after eating others!?"
"The Heroic Spirits are not wild beasts, but civilized organizations, and the meaning of civilization is to kill them all, not to quit when you are ahead." Yaxiu said casually: "But there is a problem here - the Heroic Spirits will not deliberately hunt down magicians unless the magicians jump on their faces. We are running so fast, why is he still unwilling to give up? We haven't even scolded him yet."
Witch Diya guessed: "Maybe because Jian Ji and I are too beautiful, he wants to take us away? Just like a dragon would take away a princess..."
"It's true that he took it away, but it wasn't us." Sonia calmly analyzed: "His target should be the viewer."
"I?"
"Didn't you say that a very powerful Heroic Spirit Commander took the initiative to reincarnate into your body just now, but was absorbed by you? This is simply like a little white rabbit trying to escape from the fox's pursuit, jumping onto me who is picking mushrooms..."
"Could it be that you, Sword Princess, are very good at cooking rabbit meat?"
"In short, the fox behind us really wanted to kill the rabbit, not us. But he didn't know that the rabbit had been swallowed by the Viewer, so..." Sonia's eyes flickered, and she said seriously: "The only solution now is to send the Viewer away."
"Indeed." Diya also nodded. Her hair was now divided into black and white, but the duet voice was not harsh: "The fox will not listen to our explanation at all. He just wants to bite the rabbit to death. As for who is the rabbit, the fox doesn't care."
"There's nothing we can do about it now..."
"Yeah yeah……"
Listening to the two operators discussing how to sell themselves out, Ash was very calm and even offered a suggestion: "I'll see if there's a golden river nearby. If there is, I'll dive into it to attract their attention, and then you two can take the opportunity to drive away."
"But Liujin River is hard to find. There's a high probability that there are mining resources nearby. If I hide in the mine, I can delay for a while. If it really doesn't work and we're about to be caught up, then you two should get out of the car immediately, disconnect from the virtual world and return to reality. I'll drive back and I'll at least help you delay for 20 seconds."
"But I'm actually a little afraid of being bitten to death by creatures in the virtual world. Maybe if you two kill me directly, the fox behind me will give up. Sword Princess, you said that the injuries of a magician when he dies will affect reality, right? Then you'd better focus on attacking my abdomen. I've been eating a lot recently and I just want to lose weight..."
Listening to Ash mumbling about how he was planning his own death, Sonia and Diya looked at each other and saw frustration in each other's eyes.
"Alright, alright," Sonia said, feeling bored. "You know we won't abandon you, so don't show off your sacrificial virtues like this."
"No, I think selling me here is indeed a good choice." Ash said, "If we continue like this, we will be wiped out sooner or later. It is better for one person to die than three. You are my operators. Your survival is much more valuable than mine, and I am indeed the core of the problem now."
"If it's to protect you, dying once is not a price I can't accept."
Originally, Sonia just took the opportunity to emphasize that the crisis was entirely on the viewer, in order to show how dazzling her noble quality of never giving up was, so that the viewer would be grateful and speechless, and spend his whole life to repay Miss Sword Princess's great kindness.
She didn't expect that the audience would see through her plan and even play along with her. She was so angry. Instead of moving the audience, her favorability towards the audience increased significantly!
"Death in the virtual world is not real death!" The village girl hit the cult leader's neck fiercely: "Why are you talking so seriously? Do you want us to be grateful and pledge our love to you? Do you want us to come to the virtual world every night to serve you out of guilt? Then you can rest your head on my thighs and let me massage your temples, and put your feet on the witch's side and let the witch massage your calves. Is it a pleasant exploration of the virtual world every night like a vacation?"
"It's fine if you fantasize, but why do you have to fantasize in such detail—"
Diya sighed: "Viewer, you are really despicable now."
Ash rolled his eyes. He didn't mean to please the two masters. He just thought that sacrificing himself was the most cost-effective option. After all, he was too lazy to come to the virtual world. Now he could apply for sick leave and play games at home. The operators couldn't blame him. Why not?
Moreover, his death was not a big loss, because the witch and sword lady would share a portion of their achievements in the virtual realm with him. On the contrary, if the witch and sword lady died, then Ash would lose as much as a liquor fund, because he could not come to the virtual realm alone, and the others had no surplus food to be exploited by him, and their cultivation would come to a complete standstill.
"Is it possible to escape?" asked the village girl.
Ash opened the virtual world map and shook his head: "The fox deliberately forced us into a dead end."
When he was being chased, Ash's first reaction was to drive to the Star Hall area. After all, Brado was the commander of the Star Hall, and his enemy was obviously the commander of the hostile force. Although Ash didn't know whether there was a "Homeland Security Law" in the Time Continent, as long as he could enter the Star Hall area, it would definitely make the pursuers more cautious.
However, whenever he tried to turn north to Xingtang, there would always be long-range attacks from above to hinder his progress. Not only did they fail to go north, but the distance between them and the pursuing troops was shortened a lot.
The other side obviously predicted his actions in advance and sent out blocking troops.
Compared with these tactically intelligent heroic soul legions, intellectual creatures such as the fish-slaying dragon are as innocent and cute as Lala fat.
"Since you refuse my enthusiastic sacrifice, I have three options now." Ash said, "First, you two accompany me into the Silent Realm to wait for death or commit suicide directly. Although it will still end in total annihilation, it can at least minimize the damage to the soul. I will find a way to get some medicine to heal the soul. We can return to the Void Realm in at most ten days."
"Second, destroy the spirit of the necromancy. Although I don't know which part of the rabbit the fox wants to eat, it's safe to throw away the whole rabbit."
Hearing this, Sword Lady and Witch shook their heads. If it was the previous "Summoning Spirit" spirit, they would have thrown it away, but after Ash introduced the new type of "Summoning Spirit" spirit, they said they would never let it go.
Star Prayers! Star Bullet Warriors! These two things have far exceeded the limits of two-wing magicians. Although I don’t know if they can compare with three-wing magicians, in the Time Continent, as long as they are equipped with these two types of soldiers, they can basically walk sideways and kill fish and dragons like killing chickens.
Moreover, these high-level Star Hall troops are extremely difficult to obtain. After all, low-level Heroic Soul commanders like Demilo were killed by the three magicians after trying their best. And high-level commanders like Brado travel with a large group of followers, and can even arm themselves into "bullet star warriors"... Not to mention two or three magicians, even a "large group" of magicians would never be able to kill Brado.
If it weren't for fate, it would be impossible for Ash to unlock these advanced arms. Being promoted to a three-winged sanctuary magician is much easier than killing the Heroic Spirit Commander.
Moreover, although there was no reason, they believed that there must be greater interests involved in obtaining such a difficult "Soul Summoning" spirit. More importantly, they knew that it would be basically impossible to have the opportunity to snatch a new "Soul Summoning" spirit in the future.
Rather than lose this potential opportunity, they would rather let the viewer commit suicide.
"Maybe it's not a necromancy spirit at all." Sonia reminded: "It may be the commander's manual you just absorbed... By the way, what skill did you choose just now?"
"Probably not, because I chose financial management."
"Why?!" The village girl was shocked. "Isn't it good to have an offensive technique that can increase the experience of all factions? We don't have that much soul power to arm our troops now! You don't have the money to make a fortune!" She was so angry that she burst out in country dialect.
"But that's financial management! Financial management is investing in the future!" Ash argued, "Who can resist investing in the future?"
