After meeting Lü Bu and hearing his explanation of the order in which the reinforcements from the Three Realms entered the formation, Wang Yao basically understood the path to break the formation indicated by the Path-Seeking Pearl. That was to enter the formation through the Gate of Life and then walk eastward around the Decapitation Demon City, as if circling around the Decapitation Demon City.
However, the circles they made were not regular circles, but gradually narrowed inwards, getting closer and closer to the gate of the Decapitation Demon City, just like walking on a winding mountain road, going up in circles. However, the distance between each circle was not fixed, and it would not be easy to deduce without the navigation bead.
As he guessed, he checked the direction he was walking on. Sure enough, when he felt he was getting close to the east gate of the Decapitation Demon City, he heard the roar of gunfire ahead. When he got closer, he found that it was Commander Mu leading his divine race in battle.
Wang Yao and his group arrived at a location that appeared to be behind the battle line. Behind clumps of demonic plants, squads of divine soldiers and generals were hidden, their expressions grim as they watched the direction of the gunfire, their eyes fixed straight ahead, seemingly unaware of Wang Yao's arrival.
"Hey! What's going on here, all this fighting?" Lu Bu asked from behind a beautiful goddess, without waiting for orders from the Queen Mother of the West or Wang Yao.
"Hey! Who are you guys fighting with?"
"Hey! Hey! Can you hear me?"
"What...what's wrong with you guys?"
Unexpectedly, Lu Bu shouted several times, but not only the goddess in front of him, but even the divine soldiers beside her did not turn around to pay attention to him. They just stared ahead with their eyes wide open, as if they were possessed.
Seeing this scene, Lü Bu was also somewhat frightened. He reached out to push the goddess in front of him, but after extending his hand halfway, he turned his head to look at the Queen Mother of the West, hesitated for a moment, and then withdrew.
"Queen Mother of the West, what... what's wrong with them?" Lu Bu asked in astonishment.
"Oh dear, what a disaster..." The Queen Mother of the West seemed to have discovered something, muttering to herself, and in a flash, she was already beside the divine warriors.
"Let me see what you are doing..."
The Queen Mother of the West patted a divine soldier on the shoulder. The goddess turned her head and saw the Queen Mother of the West and her companions. Her eyes widened immediately. She gestured to the Queen Mother of the West and spoke, but her accent was a dialect from somewhere in the divine realm, which was very difficult to understand.
As soon as the goddess moved, the divine soldiers around her also noticed the Queen Mother of the West and her entourage. Immediately afterwards, the divine soldiers and generals began to make wild and exaggerated gestures at each other. Before long, General Mu stepped back from the front.
"Mu Guiying greets Commander Wang and Queen Mother of the West." Commander Mu greeted Wang Yao and Queen Mother of the West with a loud clasp of his hands.
"What... what's going on with your subordinates?" Wang Yao asked, frowning.
"We passed through a region of demonic sound before. Many soldiers couldn't withstand the deafening noise and, fearing it would affect the army's operations, they all poked their ears to make themselves deaf," Commander Mu said somberly.
"You...you've deafened them?" Wang Yao looked around at the Divine Race soldiers in astonishment. Sure enough, he saw that most of them had faint traces of blood around their ears. He couldn't help but feel sorry for them. Damn it, a problem that could be solved with a "hissing" sound, why did they have to go through all that trouble to deafen themselves?
Little did he know that the army's actions were vastly different from his leisurely stroll with the Queen Mother of the West. Where the demonic sound arose, it was clearly a place of extreme risk. Under the strict orders of the army, the army could not linger.
Some of the soldiers who could resist the demonic sound had to leave in haste, leaving no time to help those trapped by it. So those trapped either had to find a way to escape the demonic sound and catch up with the army, or they had to stay and struggle in the demonic sound.
Within the Eight Gates Killing Formation, this was almost a choice between life and death. Furthermore, the army lacked a knowledgeable and capable figure like the Queen Mother of the West. In this desperate situation, they had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure.
"What a pity, what a pity! How will these sisters ever get married?" Lu Bu sighed repeatedly, stamping his feet.
"Whether they get married or not is none of your business!" Wang Yao glared at Lü Bu, then turned to look at the Queen Mother of the West. "Grandma, is there any hope for their hearing?"
"I am not a healer, how could I have such abilities? We can only wait until we conquer the Demon City. Perhaps those who are not deeply wounded or seriously injured can still be saved." The Queen Mother of the West also showed a look of regret on her face.
"General, Queen Mother of the West, please do not worry. We have already risked our lives to defeat the demon cubs. This mere ear injury is nothing for you two to concern yourselves with. However, a large number of demons are attacking from the front, and Guiying cannot entertain you for long. Please forgive us."
Mourinho was concerned about the battle at the front, and as he spoke, he prepared to take his leave and return to the front lines.
"What's the situation up ahead? We still have tens of thousands of Netherworld Clan members here. Can we help? I'll go with you to take a look," Wang Yao said hurriedly.
"I'll go take a look too. Sigh, you little rascals love to run around everywhere without a single navigation bead. You don't even realize you're going the wrong way," the Queen Mother of the West added.
"You stay here." Wang Yao turned and instructed Lü Bu, then went to the front line with Mu Shuai and Xi Wangmu.
This wave of Protoss troops was split off from the Protoss Legion. Although the Protoss Legion itself was limited in size, the number of these Divine Soldiers and Generals who were split off was still much greater than that under Lu Bu's command. The clumps of demonic plants were filled with these Divine Soldiers and Generals.
Presumably suppressed within the formation, Xi Wangmu did not use her flying skills, and Wang Yao certainly did not dare to take out "Xian Jianchou" and use it recklessly. Mu Shuai simply parted the soldiers blocking the way and hurriedly walked forward.
As they traveled, Wang Yao discovered that the divine soldiers and generals along the way were truly ruthless and domineering. No matter what stood in their way, they simply swept it away. He saw many traces of demonic plants being uprooted, though they had paid a heavy price for it.
