160: Chapter 160 The Envoy
"Fuck you, we were forced into this."
Xie Yunzhou was so angry that he raised his leg and kicked him.
"Alright, Old Xie, let him explain first," Jiang He advised.
"Go ahead and talk."
The man in black wiped the blood from his nose, his face full of fear, and hurriedly replied, "Whatever you big brothers want to know, just ask. I will tell you everything I know."
"Then tell us everything you know."
"Huh? This... this... where should I start?"
Hearing this, Xie Yunzhou's anger flared up again. He rushed forward and roared, "Damn it, start from the part where you defected to that bullshit god."
"O-okay..."
The man in black was so scared that he hurriedly shrank back and covered his face with his hands.
Xie Yunzhou's previous two attacks had been quite ruthless. At this moment, the look in his eyes when he saw Xie Yunzhou was more terrified than seeing the fiercest sacred beast.
Subsequently, the two men in black knelt on the ground and recounted everything they knew from beginning to end.
Listening to their words, the expressions of Jiang He and the others changed.
It turned out that the citizens of Xia Country who had defected to the god were actually the smallest portion in the entire world.
Nowadays, in most European countries, almost more than half of the people have long since joined the god's camp.
Under the god, there are ten messengers, each from a different country.
The messenger of each country is responsible for managing the citizens of their own country.
The messenger responsible for the people of Xia Country is the helmsman from the Eye of Creation.
These ten messengers each have their own jurisdictions.
As for the Teleportation Array, it appears randomly.
They usually go out to search for them, and once they find a Teleportation Array, they must immediately report it.
Of course, this also includes some teams that have selfish motives; they do not report it but instead take their team members into the virtual battlefield to kill monsters and level up.
Just a short while ago, their team discovered people from the Fifth Squad heading this way.
At the time, they guessed that the other party must have found a Teleportation Array and wanted to sneak in early to grind monsters.
That's why they secretly followed.
Hearing this, Jiang He frowned tightly.
He understood that the Fifth Squad mentioned by the other party must be Zhang Zixuan's.
Jiang He's mouth twitched.
It seems this Zhang Zixuan isn't doing so well?
He only managed to become a squad leader?
Listening to the two continue, the expressions of everyone became increasingly heavy.
It turned out that many people had already returned to the game world.
They hid their identities there and even privately controlled quite a few influential families.
They have been waiting for the god's orders.
As long as the god announces the army's entry, they will immediately defect to the god's side and help the god deal with humanity.
And on one point, Jiang He had guessed correctly.
They cannot go directly to Blue Star; instead, they need to go through the Teleportation Array in the virtual world.
If that is really the case, then the main battlefield must be in the game world.
Thinking of this, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.
After all, in the game world, they could still put up a fight.
"Where is your base?" Jiang He asked.
The man in black pointed to the west.
"Keep walking west, and you will see it in about three hours."
After confessing everything, the man in black pleaded with a mournful face, "B-big brother, I've told you everything I know. Can you let us go? We are of the same kind..."
"Fuck you, you know we're of the same kind now?" Xie Yunzhou stepped forward and kicked him again.
Jiang He did not stop him when he saw this; he just pointed at the Teleportation Array.
"Go back. There are people waiting for you there."
"Huh? T-there are people waiting for us?"
"Damn it... stop with the bullshit, hurry up. If you don't leave now, I'll kill you," Xie Yunzhou cursed.
"O-okay, we're leaving, we're leaving."
Jiang He sighed.
Before coming in, he had discussed with Old Long about arranging personnel outside the Teleportation Array, just in case, to ensure that no invaders could enter.
As for these two, there would be people guarding them once they returned, obtaining their home addresses and identity information, and then forcing them to log off to be detained.
"Friends, you want to let my people go? Did you ask for my opinion?"
Whoosh—
Instantly, a dark shadow covered half the sky.
Everyone looked up and saw a huge flying dragon circling high above.
Standing on the dragon's head was a Man in Black Robe, looking down at everyone.
"It's... it's Lord Messenger!" the men in black who were just about to enter the Teleportation Array screamed.
Hearing this, Jiang He and the others immediately became tense.
"Run!" Jiang He shouted.
Thump, thump, thump—everyone dashed desperately toward the Teleportation Array.
Suddenly, a huge, scorching fireball smashed down rapidly.
Boom—
The fireball accurately hit the Teleportation Array.
The two men in black standing at the very front were instantly burned to ashes.
The Teleportation Array was also blown to pieces, and the light on its surface disappeared completely.
"Damn, the Teleportation Array has been destroyed!" Xie Yunzhou shouted in a panic.
Jiang He's heart sank: Oh no! Without the Teleportation Array, they couldn't go back!
"Did I let you leave?" The Man in Black Robe in mid-air spoke in an ice-cold, bone-chilling voice.
Jiang He and the others quickly gathered together, staring intently at that figure in the sky.
"Now, I give you two choices. First, surrender to the god; second... die."
"Fuck your god! If you have the ability, then kill me. You want me to be a dog for some alien? Keep dreaming!" Xie Yunzhou cursed loudly.
"Hmph, seeking death."
The next second, the giant dragon swooped down fiercely toward Xie Yunzhou.
Jiang He reacted extremely quickly and shoved him away hard.
He himself, however, was heavily crushed underneath the giant dragon.
"Jiang He!"
"Big Brother!"
"Big Brother Jiang!"
Everyone shouted in terror.
"Fuck you!" Xie Yunzhou was instantly enraged. He drew his dagger and rushed over as fast as the wind.
Puchi—
The dagger plunged deep into the giant dragon's abdomen. He pulled it out with force and stabbed it in again.
"Damn it, get the hell away..."
At this moment, the others also rushed over.
Everyone used their full strength to attack the giant dragon.
But no matter how desperate they were, the giant dragon did not budge an inch.
It seemed unable to feel pain; as long as the Man in Black Robe did not give the order, it would not move even if it were stabbed to death.
"Hmph, this is the consequence of defying the god..." the Man in Black Robe said coldly.
Before he could finish his sentence, the dragon's body beneath his feet suddenly jolted!
The giant dragon began to be lifted upward very slowly!
"Go... to... hell!" came Jiang He's roar from below, teeth gritted.
He was seen with a ferocious expression, struggling immensely to support the giant dragon's massive body with both hands, lifting it upward bit by bit!
Seeing that Jiang He was still alive, everyone's faces immediately lit up with surprise and joy.
"Damn it, stop staring, come and help!" Jiang He roared.
Everyone immediately rushed over and worked together to push the giant dragon upward.
Boom—!
With a loud noise, the giant dragon was pushed over to the side by their combined efforts.
Jiang He let out a long breath.
Fortunately, just now when the giant dragon pounced, he immediately asked the cheat system if he could stack BUFFs.
The answer he got was: Resurrection cannot be used here, and BUFFs cannot be as overpowered as in the game.
But at least it had strengthened his defense and attack a little.
Although it wasn't much of an increase, it was enough to withstand the giant dragon's crushing force.
A flash of surprise crossed the Man in Black Robe's face.
This dragon was a mount bestowed upon him by the god; he knew exactly how strong it was.
This person actually didn't die after taking a hit head-on?
Just as he was puzzled.
Several magic orbs flickering with an eerie red light suddenly appeared in the air and shot toward him rapidly!
"Damn it!" The Man in Black Robe hurriedly waved his weapon to block.
However, the next second, he felt his whole body paralyzed, and his HP was actually continuously dropping?
"Damn, it's poisonous!" He quickly pulled out a bottle of black potion and drank it.
The poisoning effect disappeared immediately.
He roared in a rage, "I'm going to kill you all!"
But by the time he finished roaring, he noticed that Jiang He and the others were already gone!
"Ahhh... damn it, damn it! I won't let you go! You can't escape in this place!" he roared.
Whoosh—!
The giant dragon soared into the air again.
Its huge eyes quickly locked onto Jiang He and the others, who were running wildly in the distance, and with a violent swoop, it chased after them.
