Chapter 118
The citizens kept pouring in like a tide.
However, the area of 100 meters around Li Mi was like a restricted area of life. Citizens with weak strength would immediately turn into a pile of meat as soon as they reached the edge.
Those with stronger strength could run a dozen or twenty meters further inside, and then they would also turn into meat.
Even citizens with high strength, except for the one who rushed to Li Mi's side at the beginning, the rest were almost cut into pieces by the invisible force when they were still 20 or 30 meters away from Li Mi.
To deal with these people, Li Mi didn't even have to do anything.
This scene made Lan Jie and Tie Zhu's eyes light up.
Tie Zhu's thinking was simple, and pure strength made him yearn for it the most. Lu Lin estimated that if he hadn't said it incoherently, he might have gone back to worship Li Mi as his teacher.
As a swordsman, Lan Jie was also the only one among the three people present who saw some clues. Seeing this scene, he was naturally also excited.
Domain, that is the highest pursuit of the warrior's road.
It was once a legendary thing to him, but he didn't expect it to appear in front of him at this moment, and the user was the big sister next to him.
Even if the big sister doesn't like to talk and can't be asked for advice, just looking at it up close and feeling it are enough to make him excited.
But Lu Lin frowned slightly when he saw this scene.
It's not that he is worried about Li Mi.
It's just that.
Too many citizens died.
Lu Lin didn't feel sorry for these people, but this reckless charge was quite strange.
The citizens received an order to hunt down tourists, but it doesn't mean they will lose their ability to think.
This can be seen in the process of escaping from the manor before. Although the momentum of this group of citizens is the same as the tide of corpses, they can't really be regarded as zombies.
After all, they are human beings. They can see, hear, know how to seek benefits and avoid harm, dodge when attacked, and think about the way to attack when fighting.
At least it was like this before.
But what are they doing now?
Knowing that there is a forbidden place in front of them where they will die, they still rush in without hesitation?
This meaningless behavior has no meaning at all except for increasing the number of corpses piled up in front of Limi.
Moreover, the most strange thing is that their actions are directed by a certain lich.
The lich spent so much time and effort to design a whole system to attract tourists and screen citizens. For him, the selected citizens should definitely not be cannon fodder that can be easily thrown away.
The logic of citizens' actions must have changed.
But when did it change?
What is the purpose?
Is the lich planning to kill all the citizens here?
Why?
What does he plan to do with these corpses?
After all, he is a lich, so it is not impossible.
But it still feels wrong. For necromancy, a complete corpse is countless times more valuable than fragments. If he really wants a corpse, let these people cut into the middle of his neck and it will be over.
So these people must have been killed here as a price.
But what is the purpose?
Delay Limi?
It seems that there is only this possibility. There seems to be nothing else besides Limi that is worth the other party paying such a price.
So what is the purpose of delaying Limi?
Afraid of Limi's trouble, he wanted to kill the old master of the Tianri Sect first?
But when Lu Lin looked up at the sky, the power of the ghost domain seemed to be weakening, while the giant statue, as dazzling as the scorching sun, was getting stronger and stronger.
"This guy is actually at a disadvantage?" Lu Lin was a little surprised.
This is his home court. Although it seems that the home advantage of their level of battle is not so obvious, how could this lich fall into a slump so quickly in a one-on-one battle?
Is he going to run away?
That's right, with two masters here, it would be more reasonable for him to want to run away.
However, even if he wants to run away, these citizens can stay here to cause trouble for the Tianri Sect.
Just send it away like this, although the purpose is definitely to delay Limi, but Lu Lin always feels that there is something strange.
It feels that the other party is hiding something instead of purely delaying.
And now that things have come to this, if the other party has something to hide...
"Oh no! Not good!" Lu Lin was shocked and turned to Lan Jie and asked, "Lan Jie, is Si Li finished? Is there anything unusual underground?"
"Ah? Let me ask," Lan Jie said, and began to speak a few words to the echoing elf.
Ten seconds later, he said, "Si Li said she is almost done, and it will take the last few seconds. Jack is still rushing to the exit!"
"Tell him to turn back immediately! Find a place to hide first!" Lu Lin said immediately.
"Ah?" Lan Jie was stunned, "Why?"
"Don't ask! Do it!" Lu Lin didn't have time to explain to Lan Jie at this moment, and directly gave a tough order.
"Ah? OK..." Lan Jie trusted his boss, although he was puzzled, he still did it as soon as possible.
After he finished speaking, Lu Lin immediately said, "Listen carefully, as soon as Si Li finishes, you will immediately take the earth dragon and leave."
"Ah? Us?" Lan Jie was stunned, "What about you, boss?"
"I have to take your big sister to rescue Jack. The pair of earth servants, the twins of the Aki, took the lich a lot of effort to find, and then spent more than ten years to raise them. The bald guy probably doesn't know how hot a potato he has saved is," Lu Lin said, "Tell Si Li later and ask her to find a way to send a message to the old master. Tell the old man that if he doesn't want his good disciple to be remembered by a master-level skeleton all day long, let him come to support us quickly. No matter what, we can't let this bastard run away today."
Before Lan Jie could reply, the window of the magic tower behind them suddenly opened. Si Li poked his head out and said, "I know, we will start to move now. I will find a way to send a message. Bring the stew. He will take you to find the bald guy!"
As she said that, Si Li threw down her groundhog familiar.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you," Lu Lin hugged the marmot, then turned to Li Mi and shouted, "Li Mi! Get ready! We have to go to the city center to save someone!"

At the same time, underground.
After hearing the message from Lan Jie, Jack Zhengyi stopped temporarily.
When he first heard that he was asked to stop and return, his first reaction was also incomprehension.
Now the situation is critical, and it stands to reason that he should leave quickly while his teacher is still restraining the lich.
But looking at the two girls in his arms, Jack Zhengyi suddenly reacted.
These two girls are the most important existence in the center of the formation. If the other party can defend this place, it is feasible for him to take the opportunity to secretly rescue the two girls.
But what if the other party can't defend this place and plans to run away?
Speaking of running away, of course, you have to take the most important things with you.
Then...
"Oh no!" Jack Zhengyi's heart was alarmed, and he immediately turned around and ran towards the depths of the formation.
And just a few tens of seconds after he left the place, a ball of black fog condensed in the air where he had just been.
The black fog continued to condense, and finally, in the middle of the black fog, a dark skull condensed out.
There was a faint light in his eyes, and after a glance, he floated towards the depths of the formation like a ghost.
Chapter 195 It's broken, someone can't afford to flip the table
Jack Zhengyi felt it.
The biting cold was spreading inside the passage at this moment, and the body of the lich, which had not seen the sun for many years, should have come here at this moment.
Their plan finally went wrong, but they never expected that the problem was that the front battlefield was too smooth.
But if you think about it carefully, it's not a mistake to have such a problem. They were originally using Jack Zhengyi's master to delay the lich, and wanted to use this method to make the Tianri Sect unaware of the existence of the underground formation while participating in the frontal battle.
Because his master was used, not part of the plan, he naturally didn't know that what he was doing now was actually a feint.
Under the full-scale attack, the lich failed to take the move, and the plan was naturally deformed.
But Jack Zhengyi couldn't blame Lu Lin for anything. After all, although this plan was formulated by Lu Lin, it was actually himself who proposed to save people.
If he and Si Li didn't want to save people and get the detailed information of the formation, Lu Lin would not have made such an adventurous plan to use the gap between the two masters to achieve their respective goals.
In addition, Lu Lin was the first to react to this matter, and after discovering it, he did not give up on him, but tried to save him. This alone was enough to move him.
Although they have been acting as partners during this period, Jack Zhengyi's attitude towards Lu Lin has always been a bit subtle.
Black alchemists and witches were both professions that he was not so willing to see. Although he got along well with Lu Lin, some of Lu Lin's methods would still make him difficult to accept.
But after this time, he dared not say anything else. Jack Zhengyi had determined that Lu Lin was his friend.
Of course, he still had to survive first.
As if sensing the bald man's bad mood, the fat girl asked, "Um, what happened?"
Jack Zhengyi was stunned for a moment, then smiled at her and said, "It's okay, I'll find a way."
He looked at the girl on the other side, who was just silent. This girl has been like this since he rescued her.
Just when Jack Zhengyi was trying hard not to sigh because of the pressure, Sili's voice suddenly sounded in the echoing elf.
"Hello? Baldy, are you still alive?"
This opening remark made Jack Zhengyi's eyebrows jump, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He whispered: "Thanks to you, I'm still breathing."
"That's good, listen carefully, the body of that thing has gone to your side, but the domain is still deployed through the real name puppet, and it is still in a stalemate with your master."
"Of course, he is a master-level lich after all. Even if he doesn't have a domain, it's easy to kill you, so you must not think of doing such a stupid thing as fighting him head-on."
"But you are lucky. The girl who followed Lu Lin is actually a master who can't be seen at ordinary times. Now they have gone to find you. As long as you can hold on until they come, the skeleton without a domain will definitely not be able to beat the girl."
"And if he pulls the domain to the real body, your master can immediately kill his real life puppet and then come to support you."
"So, what you have to do is hide until they find you. During this time, I will let my servants make trouble underground to help you buy time."
"But... I can tell you that these servants of mine are my treasures. This time, they will suffer a lot for you. You can wait for the bill later. If you dare not pay, I promise to curse you to have diarrhea for a month."
Jack Zhengyi was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have been upright all my life, and I will not default on my debts."
"That's naturally the best. Follow the servant with you. It will try its best to help you avoid that thing," Si Li said again, "but as the number of servants I use for investigation decreases, it can help you less and less. In short, come on, don't talk about great ambitions all day long, and finally die without doing anything."
"Ah, I will," Jack Zhengyi agreed, followed the guiding servant in front of him, and got into the intricate array structure.

At the same time inside the array
The black bone claws with various magic rings exerted force and pinched a nightingale into a spot of light.
"Another familiar, another familiar, a bastard from the Black Magic School..."
The skeleton in the black fog had a faint light in his eyes, and his voice was cold and murderous.
"Want to steal my achievements? Take away my "daughter"? Haha, do you think I will let you succeed?"
The dark mist began to spread from him and continued to spread along the passage.
"You want to play a cat and mouse game, right? Haha, then I want to see how long you can play."

Mage Tower.
Si Li suddenly opened her eyes.
Just now, the death rate of her familiars suddenly increased significantly, and the sound transmission of the echo elves was also greatly disturbed. In just a dozen seconds, she could not communicate normally with Jack Justice.
