Chapter 78 Giant's Power <TOC> Chapter 80 Trap

“Can you handle it?”
Li Mu was somewhat worried. He couldn’t resist giving Li Mei some trouble earlier and gave her a bottle of fruit wine.
As soon as he turned around, he found that she had already drunk the whole bottle of fruit wine and turned into a little drunk cat.
At this point, Li Mu suddenly realized that she was actually a girl who was under eighteen years old. If it was in his previous life, she should still be in the classroom taking classes.
“Don’t worry, my hands are still steady, I promise not to accidentally shoot your butt.”
Li Mei burped and patted her chest to guarantee.
Li Mu tugged at the corner of his mouth and felt like snatching the gun from her hands. Just in case he was shot in the back for no reason during the upcoming battle.
Suddenly, a sharp whistle came from the sky.
The Ghost Owl, like a blue and green lightning bolt, fell from the sky. It held an ugly vulture in its claws. Under the messy black feathers of the vulture were deep claw marks. The fatal injury was on the forehead, and the Ghost Owl pecked it directly, shattering its skull.
As if presenting a treasure, the stinky Blood Owl was placed in front of Li Mu. The Ghost Owl looked around, proud and pleased.
Li Mu broke a twig and turned the stinky Blood Owl over with his nose pinched.
“It seems that the Ghost Owl Cultist has already realized that something is wrong and sent Blood Owls to investigate the situation in the Academy.”
Li Mu reached out and half a piece of pork appeared in his hand, throwing it towards the Ghost Owl.
The Ghost Owl leaped up, its claws grabbing the pork and tearing it apart, wolfing it down, even gnawing on the bones.
Its appetite had been cultivated by Li Mu. It only ate food from the Exiled Realm, let alone the water in the wasteland.
Li Mu took out his water flask and fed it a flask of Sun Spring, then smoothed its smooth feathers on its head.
“Continue hunting for Blood Owls that may appear in the sky. I want the Soul Cult to become completely blind.”
The Ghost Owl nodded, spread its wings, and a fierce whirlwind rose from the ground, soaring up with the wind, and disappeared into the clouds in the sky.
…
…
The morale of the mixed team of the Soul Cult and the candidate senators was a bit low. They searched the surrounding wilderness in the scorching heat and didn’t find any signs of large-scale troop movements at all.
That huge marauding army seemed to only exist in Susanto’s mouth.
This made the candidates and their soldiers wish they could curl up into a ball and disappear from the sight of those cultists.
Suddenly, fist-sized black-shelled beetles buzzed loudly from all directions, returning to a cultist draped in black robes.
“The Bloodworms haven’t found anything. At least within a ten-kilometer radius, there’s no large-scale human presence, only a few sporadic unfamiliar scents. I can be sure that there are no raiders at all, or at least their numbers are absolutely small.”
He spoke in a low, cold voice.
Bloodworms were insects specially cultivated by the Soul Sect for reconnaissance, highly sensitive to the smell of blood. Unless there is no blood in the target’s body, it is impossible to deceive them.
The Ghost Owl Cultist exuded a frighteningly low pressure, causing the several candidate senators of Susanto to tremble and sweat profusely.
They crawled to the ground, trying to kiss the Ghost Owl Cultist’s feet.
“Crack!”
With a teeth-grinding sound of bone cracking, Susanto was kicked out like a torn cloth bag. He clutched his face and rolled around on the ground in madness.
This kick not only broke his nose bone, but also knocked out several teeth.
“Useless waste.”
The remaining Elino and Tabor lay still on the ground, waiting for the Ghost Owl Cultist’s foot to fall on them.
But they waited for a long time, and the Ghost Owl Cultist’s foot did not come down.
The next moment, his voice rang out in anger.
“Damn it! Seventy-nine is dead, the enemy has a very powerful flying psychic creature, we have been under their surveillance from the beginning, and their target is the monastery!”
The always impassive Ghost Owl Cultist broke down for the first time.
“Quick! Quick! Everyone move!”
He took a few steps forward and pulled Susanto up.
“Bring all your people with you. Whether you live or die depends on your performance from now on. I hope you don’t disappoint me.”
Susanto raised his hands and nodded repeatedly.
“Let’s go!”
Everyone directly abandoned the clutter and returned to the airship. Because the airship’s space was not enough, the soldiers belonging to the candidate senators could only cling to the walls of the airship.
The disciple driving the airship directly operated it with violence, raising the speed of the airship to the limit.
The Ghost Owl Cultist’s face was so dark that it seemed to be dripping with water, and he could only hope that the Key of the Door could stop the invaders.
He mobilized his remaining two Blood Owls and flew towards the monastery to gather intelligence. However, not long after, the two Blood Owls, which were strong enough to fight against Swamp Tigers, were killed.
Through the Blood Owls’ vision, he discovered that the creature that killed the Blood Owls was a gorgeous and ferocious flying bird.
This made the Ghost Owl Cultist’s heart sink. The enemy was not simple if they could raise such powerful psychic creatures.
Hawks and falcons are difficult to train, and the elimination rate is already high. The individuals that can survive the psychic radiation and transform into psychic creatures are even rarer.
The wealth consumed by this flying bird is no less than that of twenty Blood Owls. Only large organizations like the Soul Cult can afford such expenses.
Fortunately, the journey was not long. After a nervous wait, he saw the familiar white giant rock.
There were one or two cheers among the followers, and it seemed that there was no sign of any battle outside.
“Ignite the fireworks!”
The Ghost Owl Cultist gave an anxious order.
The followers around him hastily took out a fireworks and launched it into the sky.
“Boom!”
After a loud bang, the wilderness fell silent. After a long time, there were no followers appearing on the giant rock.
The Ghost Owl Cultist’s heart sank. The worst had happened, something must have happened in the monastery.
“Larimore, did the Evil Bloodworms find anything?”
The cultist who controlled the Evil Bloodworms released all of them and sniffed around.
“The strongest is Osmond’s scent, and there are five other strangers, three of whom appeared around the attacked camp.”
Larimore said in shock. If it wasn’t for the fact that the results of multiple Evil Bloodworms were the same, he couldn’t imagine that the enemy might have only had three people from beginning to end.
“Those three people have already left, and the Evil Bloodworms remember the scent of their blood and can track them at any time.”
The Ghost Owl Cultist felt his head spin and almost fell to the ground.
“Believe in Goss and Chewba. They are both experienced Awakeners, and they must have repelled the enemy. It must be like this!”
