After the archive is damaged, I live in another world

Chi Jinlian shook her head. "I don't know. We risked our lives to open a gap for Nolan, who escaped in the chaos, and I was tied up and brought into this room. I don't know if Nolan was captured or if the others are still alive."

Ok.

Chi Jinlian didn't know much information, but at least she could confirm that Xu Mu was kidnapped in the abandoned Demon King's Palace.

Moreover, the purpose of "Black Skirt" and others is also very clear -

Kidnap people with the "Brave" trait to prevent them from opening the door and letting more people in.

As for why Xu Mu wasn't killed...

Maybe you think the Brave Candidate is a bargaining chip that can be used to negotiate a deal?

Xu Mu couldn't be sure.

Chapter 67 #067 Escape from the Demon King's Palace!

Xu Mu didn't hide anything. He looked at Chi Jinlian and asked, "Chi Jinlian, can you tell me your plan?"

"……Eh?"

Chi Jinlian was startled. She smiled and asked, "How do you know I have a plan?"

Xu Mu pointed at the empty lunch box and said, "You endured hunger, isn't that just to carry out your plan? If you didn't have the thought of resistance and a plan to escape in your heart, why would you do this?"

"what."

Chi Jinlian glanced at Xu Mu again and felt that this man was more perceptive than he looked.

She coughed and kept the question in suspense. "I do have a plan, but I want to hear your opinion first. Do you have any ideas on how to escape this room?"

Um--

Xu Mu had only been here for a few hours and didn't have any good ideas.

He pointed to the woods outside the east window and said, "I observed the environment and thought that escaping to the east under the cover of trees was the best plan."

Chi Jinlian shook her head repeatedly. "Mr. Xu, your ideas are far too naive. I won't ask you how you plan to break through the magic circle on the wall. Even if you do break through and successfully escape into the woods, the situation will only get worse."

ha?

why.

The woods on the east side cover an area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters. It can be said to be a vast sea of ​​trees.

Put a cat inside, who can find it?

Unless the enemy uses large-scale magic to burn all the trees, it will be difficult to find Xu Mu.

Chi Jinlian looked at Xu Mu and said, "Do you know the profession 'Druid'?"

"..."

know.

Druids are a profession of the natural cult. They can communicate with various animals and practice natural magic. They are particularly powerful in the woods.

Their magic can transform trees into soldiers, making them experts at reconnaissance, hunting, and encirclement.

Xu Mu asked, "Are there any druids here?"

"There were more than one. Among those who attacked us that day were two druids. Their animal companions and tree spirits and grass monsters caused us enormous trouble. Entering the woods is seeking death."

Red Golden Lotus, assertion.

She pointed west again and continued, "The same is true of the great lake to the west. There are even quite a few sirens here. Lakes and oceans are the home of this race. They can secrete special body fluids that pollute the water and paralyze all living things around them. I believe that escaping, no matter which direction, will lead to death. The only real way to survive is—"

She walked to the south window and pointed to the interior of the Demon King's Palace: "Go deeper into the Demon King's Palace and blend into the enemy's interior."

Xu Mu frowned: "It's a bold idea, are you sure?"

Chi Jinlian showed her fortitude. A cold smile played on her face as she said, "Rather than being trapped here like a pig or a dog, never knowing when I'll be slaughtered, it's better to fight to the death. At least I'll know why I'm dying! A woman from the Lieri family will never bow her head. The blood flowing in my body is the blood of the Grand Duke Lieri!"

it is good!

Ambitious!

Xu Mu's thoughts were quite consistent with Chi Jinlian's. The situation was already on the verge of collapse. If he didn't muster up the courage to resist at this time, would he be so submissive that he would be thrown onto the chopping block before saying "no"?

Since neither the woods nor the lakes offer any way out, taking the risk of sneaking into the Demon King's Palace might not be a bad option.

To die is to die.

At worst, I can go back to Earth and play games, and just treat this as a dream.

Xu Mu looked up and asked, "Chi Jinlian, tell me about your plan! Maybe I can be of some help."

"Hmm? You're quite courageous, a commoner! But considering your abilities... this is too difficult."

Chi Jinlian looked towards the door.

There were footsteps at the door.

She continued, "Three days ago, a human claiming to be an 'Evolution Cult cadre' came to preach their teachings. He had the key to the door, and I stopped eating after meeting him. I plan to give him a good beating next time we meet. If that cadre shows up again, please talk to him to attract his attention, and I'll wait for an opportunity to attack him. As for what to do next...we'll discuss it then!"

Chi Jinlian was evasive and did not give a definite answer.

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a knock on the door the next moment.

A man outside the door said, "I am a cadre of the Evolution Cult. Are you willing to spend a little time to listen to the voice of truth?"

coming.

Chi Jinlian winked and said, "Is this Mr. Guta? Come in!"

……

……

A gentle-looking, black-haired young man wearing glasses and a white cloak entered the room with a smile.

He closed the door behind him, and the key ring on his waist jingled as he walked.

Observing his breath, Xu Mu thought that this person's level was no more than 40. The reason why he came in alone was probably because he thought that the two people in the room had eaten poisoned bread, and even if they were tied together, they would not be able to defeat him.

The young man was very friendly and didn't look like a kidnapper at all.

He extended his hand and said to Xu Mu, "Hello, Mr. Xu! I am a cadre of the Evolution Cult, my name is Guta."

Xu Mu looked displeased and did not shake hands with him, but just looked at him coldly.

Guta maintained his outstretched hand, and seeing Xu Mu's unhappy expression, he withdrew it with a wry smile: "Mr. Xu, I understand that you are upset."

"Is it possible to be emotionless? Huh?"

Xu Mu sneered and spread out one hand.

He looked at Chi Jinlian, then at Guta, and shouted, "Brother Guta, I was sleeping peacefully in my room when a woman knocked me out, tied me up, and brought me here with a knife in her hand! What did I do wrong to deserve this?"

"Mr. Xu, please calm down..."

"I can't calm down! I'm scared! What the hell is this place? Why did you kidnap me?"

Guta smiled and showed great patience.

He continued, "Mr. Xu, we're helpless! The Free City's defense forces and adventurers are out to get us killed. We can't just sit there and wait for death, right? We kidnapped you and Mr. Mediterranean to prevent you from opening the portal and letting more people in... Don't worry, we have no ill intentions. You should have noticed that we didn't harm you."

Yes.

In other words, you are smart and did not hurt Xu Mu.

Otherwise, once his king mode is triggered, the sleeping state will be immediately lifted.

It will be hard to say who will be arrested and who will be imprisoned at that time.

Xu Mu's eyes widened and his voice became even louder: "You still want to hurt me? How scary!"

"..."

Guta had no choice but to smile.

There's no way around it. They were indeed in the wrong in this matter, and it's useless to say anything.

He cleared his throat, opened the text in his hand, and said, "Let us put aside our previous disagreements and first listen to the teachings of our Evolutionary Church! Section 1, Chapter 1 - Flesh and blood are weak, machines ascend."

"Get out of the way!"

call--

As soon as Guta finished speaking, Chi Jinlian, who had been gathering strength for a long time, let out a shout. She pulled away the Xu Mu in front of her, raised her hand and launched an "Arcane Shock"!

An invisible tide of magic power surged out and hit Guta's body.

The ancient tower was caught off guard and was immediately blown away by the tide of magic power.

His back hit the wall, and the magic circle on the wall glowed, throwing him to the ground again.

Without even a cry out, he simply fell to the ground, and it was unclear whether he was dead or unconscious.

"Mr. Xu, it's done."

Chi Jinlian was quick-witted and quick-handed. She grabbed the keychain from Guta's waist and rushed to the door to try to open it.

PS: It should be okay to update three times today, right? My readers won’t be that greedy, right?

Chapter 68 #068 Let’s act separately!

Yes, it's done.

It was simpler than Xu Mu had imagined. He stood up, looked at Chi Jinlian who was trying the key, and said, "Chi Jinlian, let's go."

Chi Jinlian glanced at him and said, "Mr. Xu, let's split up."

"?"

what--

what did you say?

Act separately?

Xu Mu looked at Chi Jinlian up and down, front and back, back and forth, left and right, with surprise in his eyes.

What do you mean?

Do you mean that you think I, Xu Mu, am too weak and will hold you back?

Ok.

Here comes someone who can’t even lie down.

Xu Mu didn't say anything, just looked at her coldly.

Chi Jinlian looked at Xu Mu seriously, with a hint of sincerity in her eyes. She continued, "I think it's best to act separately. Our combined strength is too weak. Even if we join forces, it won't help. We can preserve our strength by separating... In short, Mr. Xu, thank you for the food. I will remember this kindness."

Xu Mu didn't bother to fight with her.

He said directly: "Chi Jinlian, do you think I will hold you back?"

Chi Jinlian smiled sweetly: "How is that possible? I'm not that kind of person, Mr. Xu, you're worrying too much. I still have to go find Nolan, which might be dangerous, so I won't take you with me."

Click.

After trying several keys, the door finally opened.

Chi Jinlian put the key in her pocket and brushed her hair again: "Please be safe, I'm leaving first."

Ta, ta, ta.

Chi Jinlian walked away quickly in her high heels.
