"Teacher Xia, are you really sure?" Wen Xueying's worry was palpable and condensed on her face.
Xia Qingchen was calm and composed, stood up and said: "Let's go."
He followed the order and continued to retreat calmly.
Wen Xueying and others followed together in silence.
The old demon king who was far away in the palace stared at the many flashing pictures on the map with an indifferent expression: "Do you still like my conspiracy?"
He knew that Xia Qingchen and others would be able to see through his scheme, but so what?
If you see through it, you still have to do it!
"Send the order, and all the guards who are out searching will gather at Heimingyuan." The old demon king ordered.
Heimingyuan is an undersea abyss not far from the palace. It has a small entrance and a large bottom, and can accommodate 100,000 people.
Once all the guards enter it and want to get out, they can only leave one by one.
Its purpose is very simple, it is to imprison all the guards in it and then check them one by one.
The illusions of Xia Qingchen and others cannot withstand careful inspection.
What they transform into is only their appearance, but they are still human on the inside. If they were to check blood, saliva, etc., they would not be able to hide it at all.
Time passes little by little.
Wen Xueying looked at the map and bit her red lips slightly.
A few days ago, they were already near the border of the territorial waters, but now, they are already thousands of miles away from the border.
It is only one step away from the most dangerous palace behind.
Even not far away, they could already see the rest of the retreating guards.
This shows that everyone is converging in the same direction.
There are probably almost tens of thousands of guards within a radius of a hundred miles.
"We are almost at the rendezvous point." Wen Xueying analyzed with a calm face: "We have lost the best opportunity to escape."
She couldn't help but waver in Xia Qingchen's judgment. If she had desperately escaped from the border at the beginning, might there be a glimmer of hope?
Looking at it now, it is getting deeper and deeper.
As a teacher, Wen Xueying was still shaken, let alone three students.
Their faces were gloomy and they said nothing, their heavy moods written all over their faces.
Xia Qingchen remained calm and said: "The closer the critical moment comes, the more important it is to remain calm."
Wen Xueying smiled bitterly, she could keep her composure, but could the three children?
Once they reach the rendezvous point, anyone with a discerning eye can see the expressions on their faces that cannot be hidden, and can determine their identities without waiting for inspection.
They had no way out, and they didn't know where Xia Qingchen got the confidence to keep calm.
At this moment!
Another sound wave ordering retreat arrived!
Duan Xiaoqing's little face was completely lost, his eyes fluctuated violently and he said: "We retreated for the eighth time in one day."
Wen Xueying looked at Xia Qingchen and asked, "Should I refund it or not?"
Any further retreat is a dead end.
But if they don't retreat, they will be exposed immediately, and the surrounding guards will definitely receive orders to pursue and intercept them.
Wen Xueying shuddered when she thought about the possibility of tens of thousands of guards gathering around her. What would happen if they were surrounded overwhelmingly.
Really in dire straits!
But why does Xia Qingchen still act like nothing is wrong?
The three students were even more anxious. They also deeply understood that their situation seemed to be in a desperate situation.
You can't move forward, you can't retreat!
How can I do?
However, just when it seemed the most hopeless and desperate situation, suddenly a strange sound wave came.
The sound wave came from the murlocs in other locations, and the sound wave was short and intense.
They had encountered similar sound waves from the murloc guards in the prison, which represented an enemy attack warning!
But before, we were in prison, and an enemy attack meant someone was invading.
But what does it mean to issue similar warnings of enemy attacks in the outside world?
It means there is an invasion!!
Even if the Black Shark Demon King invades such a vast sea area and breaks into tens of thousands of people, it may not be considered an invasion. It may just be regarded as a riot.
Now that it has escalated into an enemy attack, one can imagine how serious the situation is!
Xia Qingchen smiled slightly: "It seems that we have waited."
at the same time.
royal palace.
The old demon king, who was staring at the map closely, slightly curled his lips: "Now, you must be in despair, right? Haha, you are so smart!"
He glanced up and down, focusing on the outermost group of guards. If there was any hesitation among them, they were probably the escaped intruders.
Suddenly, his eyebrows twitched, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.
Because there were actually a group of guards showing their light spots, staying in place without moving.
"Found it!" Like an old cat who has been waiting for a long time, finally waiting for the mouse to come out of the hole, a hint of playful light bloomed in his eyes.
However, that playful look was quickly replaced by shock.
Because among the rest of the light, there were actually a group of light spots that were fixed there and did not move.
Are there two groups of invaders?
As soon as this thought came to an end, another batch of light spots suddenly stopped.
Before he understood, the fourth batch, the fifth batch, the sixth batch...
Then almost all the fishmen guards stopped gathering and stayed in place.
"What's going on? Why did they collectively disobey the order!" The old demon king faintly sensed that something was wrong.
As soon as the words fell, the sound waves from far to near were finally transmitted.
The old demon king's eyes flashed violently: "Enemy attack?"
He was a little unbelievable that there would be an enemy attack in the Black Shark Demon King's territory?
This place is in the middle of the sea. There are powerful demon kings nearby, and not far away is the sea demon royal family.
Let me ask, who dares to attack this place?
Even the most ruthless people in the Kingdom of God wouldn’t have the guts to attack, right?
Swish——
The situation was serious, so the old demon king personally took action, turning into an invisible stream of water and quickly rushing out of the palace.
When they arrived at a battleground on the sand hundreds of millions of miles away, they were surprised and furious: "You are so brave, how dare you break into the territorial waters of the Black Shark Demon King!"
What was reflected in his eyes was clearly the demon soldiers from the Medog Demon King's sea area, fighting with his own fish-men guards.
The leading demon soldier said plausibly: "We have been ordered by the Demon King Medog to look for the traitors who have defected. Your guards do not distinguish between right and wrong and are constantly attacking. As self-defense, we can only fight back!"
The fishman guards who were fighting with them were so angry that they cursed.
"Old Demon King, they are talking nonsense! They came up to provoke us. Not only did they invade illegally, but they also searched our bodies, saying they suspected that we were hiding their important criminals. How could we be humiliated? We will naturally fight back sternly."
It is simply unreasonable to invade their territory and search their bodies!
The old demon king's face darkened, and he calmly said: "I'll give you three breaths to get out of my sight, otherwise, don't even think about leaving!"
He had no intention of listening to the demon soldiers' explanation.
Because even a fool can tell that the people of Demon King Medog are deliberately causing trouble!
The demon soldiers looked at each other, but did not dare to entangle too much. They feigned an attack and then retreated.
The old demon king's mood did not ease with their departure.
Because there are more and more directions from which warning sound waves are being sent!
That means that there are not just one or two places that resemble wars!
He unfolded the map again, and all the murloc guards who were originally well-organized scattered, some ran around, some light spots disappeared, and some ran towards the border.
At this moment, he could no longer tell which ones were the criminals in disguise, and which ones were his own who were either panicking or being killed.
