It doesn't matter what the lord is.

With Linglan's level of cultivation, she has no ability to hurt him. This is a warning from God.

Lid poured all the remaining herbs into his palm, held his forehead with his numb hand, and said to the little ghost:

"Do you still have the strength?"

The little ghost's voice floated into my mind:

"The boss called me?"

Lid nodded his head and said to her:

"Now, use illusion on me."

The little ghost's voice suddenly became a little alert:

"Loyalty test? I will never hurt you! I am your most loyal follower, Ghost-chan!"

Lid's voice was a little tired:

"Stop it, hurry up."

The little ghost crawled out of Reed's arm, swallowed his saliva, and waved the sign in his hand tremblingly.

For a moment, Reed felt his consciousness sinking into the sea. When he opened his eyes again, he was already in another world.

The little ghost can create the scene that people want to see most in the form of a dream. Although it is like a mirage, it is also very real. And now, in front of Lid is a square area, with countless virtual screens floating in the sky, and each screen has complex arrays and text.

The little ghost poked his head out from beside Lid with a listless expression and said:

"I've been drained dry... Why is it so complicated? Boss, this illusion can't last long. The magic power is consumed too quickly."

However, Reed could no longer hear what she was saying. All his attention was focused on the restriction that was visualized in the illusion.

46. ​​A star went out

"It's still a little different from the magic used by Kungu... Fortunately, the basic principles are similar."

Lid dragged a virtual screen in front of him and tried to read it. Lid was wondering if there was any commonality between this kind of restriction and living mechanical art, but after reading it once, he found that they were completely different. Lid didn't even recognize half of the vast sea of ​​ancient characters. Fortunately, from the half he knew, the magic used by the old gods and Kungu was similar in underlying logic.

Lid's eyes swept across the densely packed virtual screens here, and with a wave of his hand, he split them into several modules. In the modules closest to him, the parts he could understand accounted for the highest proportion, while the farthest parts were basically completely his knowledge blind spot. Lid started with the parts he could understand and slowly disassembled them, guessing the unknown quantities based on the known quantities, and then bringing in the guessed results from multiple sources for verification.

The whole process doesn't sound complicated, but each point requires hundreds of guesses and rebuttals. It's like an ignorant child who accidentally comes across a complex scientific paper. Although he can understand half of the words and some simple logic can also figure out the meaning, the whole article is completely confusing. Unknown nouns, unseen theories, and incomprehensible calculation rules are enough to make the brain crash when they come all at once.

But Lid was very calm. He was not overwhelmed by the huge data flow, but calmly began to analyze these complex arrays. During this process, Lid's brain began to work rapidly, and the unfamiliar words and patterns gradually became clear during the continuous analysis. He stretched out his hand, and the virtual screen in front of him was like a storm. Countless screens appeared in his eyes every second, and then passed by quickly. Hundreds of thousands of virtual screens filled with arrays between heaven and earth kept changing positions, which dazzled the little ghost:

"Slow down...slow down...I can't stand it anymore..."

After an unknown amount of time, Lid exhaled, raised his hand and dropped it heavily, and countless virtual screens exploded, leaving only about 7,000. Lid snapped his fingers, and these 7,000 virtual screens were spliced ​​together, forming a complex circuit board that looked like it was connected by multiple wires. A trace of blood-red magic entered from the bottom entrance, quickly flowing and jumping along the various formations, and finally circulating continuously in the entire complex system.

Lid's body shook for a while, he reached out to wipe the sweat off his forehead, and said to the little ghost:

"The illusion can be lifted now."

The little ghost raised the card in his hand in dissatisfaction:

"You don't know how to be gentle with women when you use them, and you immediately abandon them after you're done with them. You have such a cruel heart... [( p′︵‵.)]"

Reed pretended to touch her head and said:

"You have done a great job this time."

The little ghost snorted, and the illusion immediately shattered and collapsed from the edge to the center. Lid took a last look at the patterns and text on the nearly 7,000 virtual screens, and when he opened his eyes again, he was back to the top of Zhiluo Mountain. It was already late at night, with a starry sky above and a fire in the distance. It seemed that Bai Ye had already started a fight with Yunhaiwei.

Reed turned his gaze to Lily of the Valley who was lying in front of him, and pressed his left hand on her abdomen. Countless tentacles behind him exploded with a loud bang, but the momentum they released did not sweep away the surrounding vegetation. Instead, under Reed's control, it all poured into Lily of the Valley's body, wandering through her meridians like a storm, first destroying seventeen self-destruction arrays in succession, and then began to try to occupy the core center.

The restrictions set by the old gods were naturally unwilling to give up control, and many structures that Lid had not understood before began to operate on their own, competing with Lid for control. In this process, Lid's palm was quickly corroded, and the strength of the restrictions was fully revealed at this point.

Reed didn't care at all.

He was fighting a fast attack war, and the previous strategic analysis was to find the real control center of each module in Linglan's body, and only by taking it down could he win. The restrictions set by the old gods had many counterattack effects, and Lid couldn't understand them all in a short time, but he at least saw one point: the defense mechanism inside the Chosen God would activate resistance measures when the Chosen God's center was attacked, and greatly increase the alert value when the first resistance was successful, and the probability of successful invasion next time would become smaller!

Lily of the Valley's hands clenched unconsciously, grabbing a handful of dirt beneath her body, and her face, which was covered with herbs, began to bleed again.

The corrosiveness of the ban began to hurt Lid's bones, but it could not penetrate for a short time. The semi-solid and semi-transparent tentacles frantically danced, and finally at a certain moment, Lid's breath broke through the defense of the ban, rushed in and quickly took control. The ban also retreated to the second best, ceding a large area of ​​lost land and choosing to keep the most core part of the logic.

Reed wanted to continue, but he was running out of energy.

He quickly destroyed some modules that raised the alert value, and then restrained the breath in his body.

Sweat dripped down his forehead. Lid raised his hand and found that his entire left arm was numb and out of control, as if it had been in an electric current for too long. He forced his breath to stabilize his meridians. His vision went dark and he almost fell to the ground. After a while, he felt his face was wet. When he touched his face, he found that his nostrils were full of blood.

Reed stood up unsteadily, coughed heavily twice, and walked to the side to lean against a tree to rest.

At the same time, in a small room in the pure white sky, one of the many star-like lights went out.

A blond boy was taking a nap nearby. He rubbed his eyes first, then showed an extremely shocked expression, and stumbled out of the door. Soon, more than 20 men with halos on their heads rushed into the room. Their expressions were indifferent, but their eyes revealed a strong sense of vigilance. They kept pointing at the star map hanging on the wall and quickly conveyed some information in ancient language.

After a long, long time, all the men quickly moved aside, and an old man with a cane slowly walked in.

He glanced at the star map and gently touched the point that had lost its light with his finger, his expression gloomy.

He opened his mouth, and although he spoke in ancient language, this time he spoke very slowly, so that even the blond boy who reported the situation at the beginning could hear it clearly:

"He's courting death."

After a pause, the old man tapped the ground with his cane and said coldly:

"Kill... I want him to understand that once he crosses the line, even the reincarnated goddess can't save him. He saved Tianyan's son in the Far North and snatched the chosen god next to the South China Sea. His crimes are unforgivable. You should also keep a close eye on him. If he reaches the tenth level, I will increase the thunder tribulation to the strongest level. I won't bother with hair removal or marrow cleansing. I will kill him directly!"

47. Heading to the Land

On the sea, the wind and waves are getting stronger and stronger.

The shallow sea area belongs to the protection scope of the National Defense Formation, which is also known as the "human territorial waters". This part is still sunny. Although it is winter, the number of fish in the sea has dropped sharply, but at least the waves on the shore are still clear. Further away in the deep sea area, the sea water has turned black, and no one knows what kind of monster is hidden under the sea.

In the palace under the sea, a brown-haired male mermaid sat on the throne, holding a scepter in his hand. The top of the scepter was inlaid with a red pearl as big as a baby's fist. It was one of the treasures passed down from generation to generation by the sea tribe, which could increase the speed and power of magic chanting by 50% each.

Standing in front of him were three murlocs of different species.

The one on the far left is a shark-man, who looks very much like a human, with several scarlet patterns on his brown skin, sharp bone spurs on his elbows, and a shark dorsal fin on his muscular back. He is shirtless, with shutter-like gills on both sides of his chest muscles, which slowly move in the sea to breathe.

The whale merman stood in the middle. Unlike the shark merman who looked unruly, he looked more like a good guy. His huge body, thick figure, and silly smile made him look not very smart. Moreover, he was the only merman present with a human body and a fish head. He looked a bit like a small killer whale walking upright.

The one standing on the far right is a squid man, and it is a rare giant squid. She looks like a very charming woman, with a charming and arrogant expression on her face. Her long sleeves drag all the way to the ground, and there are four tentacles on each side of her sleeves. She has a hot body and is dressed very openly. The deep V neckline extends to the position around her navel, and the skirt is slit high to the waist. From the side, you can see two straight long legs.

The expressions of these three people were different.

The shark-man clearly had no respect for the man on the throne and was shaking his legs impatiently.

The whale merman stood straight, and there was no change in expression on his fish-headed face, which looked a bit cute if you looked at it for a long time.

Although the squid man had an arrogant expression, he still lowered his head when he saw the person on the throne. No one knew what he was thinking.

The mermaid on the throne tapped the ground lightly with her scepter and said:

"So... Lord Yunhai once found my daughter, and because he failed to take good care of her, she was kidnapped?"

The shark man replied impatiently:

"Yes, I told you long ago that humans are unreliable. They are a bunch of trash. They mess up their own affairs. They have been hiding in the national defense formation like turtles for years to avoid the destruction of their country. I don't think the Lord of Yunhai is necessarily failing to take good care of the princess. Maybe they hid the princess themselves and don't intend to return her! We shouldn't have discussed this matter with them from the beginning. We should have just fought them directly."

The squid man's voice was somewhat sarcastic:

"Heh... We are both from the Lower Nine Clans, and they have the National Defense Formation to support us. Why do you think we can get in? The Giants have been unable to break into human territory for so many years, and the Dragons' invasion two years ago also failed. Your confidence is really inexplicable."

The shark fishman turned his head and said coldly:

"It's different this time. They are still in civil strife! It's because of you bunch of cowards, who dare not fight here or there, that our murlocs have the boundless ocean but can do nothing! From the king to you ministers, everyone advocates ruling by doing nothing, and even the songs they sing have to be heroic. If this continues, our murlocs may become the second elves, not daring to fight back even if their tails are broken by others."

The whale fishman opened his huge mouth and said in a sharp male voice:

"Well, stop arguing. You're going to hurt people's ears. Whether to fight or not, how to fight, aren't we all listening to the king's words? What is there to argue about? What's the point of arguing?"

The shark man pouted, spitting out a series of bubbles, and said coldly:

"My people have already gathered on the coastline. The previous king has instructed me to handle all matters related to foreign wars. You don't have to worry about this."

The squid man also sneered and said:

"You don't understand the principle of a new emperor and new ministers. You are using the king of the previous dynasty to pressure the king of this dynasty. Are you rebelling? Besides, I didn't say I won't fight. The collapse of the North Sea Undersea Temple caused a large number of fishmen in the entire North Sea to migrate south. They are all mouths to feed. If we don't fight now, how can we feed them? I just think that some people are so anxious, I'm afraid they are not up to the task."

The king of the merman tribe sighed as he looked at the endless debate in front of him.

His personality was not very strong, and it was difficult for him to control the situation at the moment, so he said impatiently:

"stop fighting."

The three people present stopped talking, but the shark man and the squid man's expressions and tones were obviously full of dissatisfaction.

The king of the fishmen was silent for a while and said:

"When my father died, he specifically asked me to take the throne. After I take the throne, I will rely heavily on the three of you. You are all very capable, and it is difficult to tell who is better. I cannot command you. I have only one request, when to fight and to what extent, these are all up to you, but my daughter Irene must come back alive... I may not be a qualified king, but I don't want to be a negligent father."

The three people present all lowered their heads, but their eyes still looked different.

The shark man's eyes were full of contempt. Many creatures in the sea would be affected by the minnow effect. If the king, as a leader, had a weak character, it would be a devastating disaster for the entire ocean tribe. The whale man and the squid man had a more complicated look. They were disappointed with the king, but also had some sympathy and understanding.

When leaving the palace, the shark man moved his shoulders and twisted his neck left and right, and his joints made a crackling sound.

He said mercilessly to the marine generals beside him:

"Let's drag all those two-legged beasts to the bottom of the sea. This time, they will become our food."

Countless armies of fishmen swam toward the sea, and tens of thousands of fishing boats were sunk in an instant. The sea finally revealed its hideous appearance, and when the waves rose, countless fishmen with webbed feet jumped onto the beach and began to march towards the human territory. The national defense formation faithfully carried out its mission, and their realm was quickly suppressed, but it still could not stop the large number of fishmen from launching a tragic massacre on the human territory.

The blood soon dyed the sea red.

In the city that never sleeps, Bai Feng tightly grasped her hair. After hesitating for many times, she said to the old man Hualong beside her:

"Send the troops... If there are too many casualties in the South China Sea, I will also be blamed."

48. Winter is coming

At the top of Zhiluo Mountain, Reed returned Lily of the Valley to Bai Ye.

Because of exhaustion, Lid left the task of breaking out to Bai Ye, and he lay on Alayya's back and fell asleep. The physical pain was a minor matter, and the fatigue caused by brain overload was the main reason why Lid was not in high spirits.

Alayya carried her young master on her back, Heji carried Irene on his back, and only Bai Huang was left running behind.

The only one in the team who can fight is Bai Ye, who is holding Lily of the Valley in one hand, but it is enough for Bai Ye even if only one hand can move freely.

Everyone in the world wants to ascend to the tenth level, because only the tenth level can be called free to come and go, and even a hair's breadth away is impossible. Facing the double team of the Yunhai Guards, Bai Ye's punch directly collapsed a corner of the mountain, and large pieces of rocks and soil buried the Yunhai Guards alive underneath. The formation that had just been set up was directly destroyed by this catastrophic blow. Bai Ye grabbed Bai Huang's arm and jumped down from a high altitude. Alayya and Heji behind him hurriedly followed, rushing down the mountain at a speed that was almost falling.

Yunhai Guard had no other options. Their purpose was to capture Irene, not to be an enemy of Bai Ye. If they had known that Bai Ye was in Zhiluo Mountain and had reached a temporary alliance with Lid, Yunhai Guard would not have risked coming. The moment they saw Bai Ye take action, the head of Yunhai Guard knew that the plan had failed, and they could only return home in disappointment with what they had seen and heard.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, Bai Ye wanted to ask Lid how to proceed, but when he turned around, he found that Lid had not woken up at all. Even though the process of breaking through was full of ups and downs, Lid still slept soundly, which showed how tired he was just now.

Bai Ye reached out and patted his shoulder. Knowing that Lid couldn't hear him, he still said calmly:

"Back in Lingwu, we were not assigned to the same team, so we didn't have the chance to share life and death together. Now, we can be considered friends who have risked their lives together."

Hearing this, Heji's face changed drastically.

These words have too many symbolic meanings, and others may not be able to think of them for a while, but Heji, a Yunhai noble, heard them clearly.

Bai Ye naturally wouldn't look at Heji's expression. He said to Alayya:

"I plan to go to the South China Sea. The Ocean Tribe is wreaking havoc there. Since we have martial arts training, we cannot turn a blind eye to it. What about you? If you want to go back to Yunyang, I can try my best to send you back. I can still do it now, but if I get hurt too badly in the South China Sea, I won't be able to help you."

Alayya replied:

"Young Master didn't say he was going back to Yunyang, so we won't go back yet. I guess Young Master still wants to go to the South China Sea. He has always been very concerned about the affairs of the alien races."

Irene added weakly:

"Besides, he promised to help me... I even sang a song, and it was agreed that it would be considered as a deposit."

Irene was really afraid that Alayya would take Lid back to Yunyang. She had finally found someone who knew about the lost crown, and she didn't want to let it go so easily. She was also afraid that Lid would break his promise, because Irene herself had no realm of cultivation. If the people present did not intend to fulfill their promise, she actually had no way to deal with it.

"In that case, let's go together first, and then make the next plan after Lid wakes up."

Bai Ye stretched his knuckles and made a temporary decision for Reed.

However, Bai Ye couldn't guess Li De's thoughts. He felt that Li De was a smart man and should be able to see the current situation clearly. If Li De really understood the current situation, he shouldn't choose to go to the South China Sea with him - this was equivalent to telling Bai Feng that he stood on Bai Ye's side in the battle for the crown prince and openly interfered in the internal affairs of Yunhai.

What's more serious is that Bai Ye knows very well that he will be injured in the battle to defend Yunhai, and Bai Feng will never give up the opportunity to assassinate him. Will Li De save him? If he saves him, it means he will openly turn against Bai Feng. How can Li De escape from the southernmost part of Yunhai back to Yunyang? If he doesn't save him, Bai Huang will watch her two brothers killing each other. Will she be disappointed with Li De?

This is a dilemma. The best thing to do is for Lid to separate from Bai Ye now, so that he can pretend that "I have tried my best but failed". As long as Bai Huang and Lid are not present when Bai Ye dies, Bai Huang will only feel sad and will not have any estrangement with Lid.

Bai Ye didn't know what Lid would choose, so he left a word. If Lid chose to return to Yunyang after waking up, Bai Ye would still do his best to send Lid and Alaiya back.

Bai Ye raised his head and looked at the distant sky above him. When the cold wind blew, he took off his coat and wrapped it around Linglan.
