Chapter 471: Chapter 316 Today is the Day of the Great Harvest!

Lu Tianming pondered for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Gentlemen Inspectors, regarding the matter of the Emperor of Heaven, it is not yet advisable to publicize it loudly..."

"The situation in the Mountain and Sea Realm is severe, with Evil Gods everywhere. Although the Emperor of Heaven can withstand attacks from all sides, we subordinates truly cannot bear it... You wouldn’t want to be killed in your dreams in the dead of night by something."

The troops were not fools. After hearing this explanation, they all showed expressions of sudden realization, "We wouldn’t dare, we wouldn’t dare."

The war between Deities follows its natural laws.

Risk is always directly proportional to reward.

The Emperor of Heaven, being a deity of the "Heaven" rank, is powerful, but currently, there are too few people working for "Emperor of Heaven," and their power is too weak. As the saying goes, "It is easy to meet King Yan, but hard to deal with his minions." It’s uncertain if some Evil God, out of jealousy, would massacre civilians and get them involved.

For now, all actions should first be disguised as being for "Mother Turtle Spirit" to avoid attracting too much attention.

"We all work for Mother Turtle Spirit!" Inspector Li had figured out the situation, and cold sweat soaked his clothes, "As for anything more, we are all unaware!"

"It’s good that you understand."

Soon people found the garrisoned troops in the city, totaling also over a thousand men.

These officers and soldiers were all poisoned, sprawled weakly on the ground, almost devoid of combat power.

Fortunately, the location of this drill ground, situated at the edge of the city, combined with over a thousand local soldiers practicing the "Purple Qi Eastward Technique", meant that their physical quality was better than ordinary civilians, and the symptoms of poisoning were not too severe.

"Whoosh," after splashing cold water on their faces and feeding them some potion to clear their minds, these thousand-plus unconscious soldiers slowly began to regain consciousness.

"You’re awake... A big incident has occurred in the city! Do you still have the strength?"

A middle-aged man with a large beard, who appeared to be the leader of these soldiers.

His whole body was sore, and he sat up with lifeless eyes, shook his head, and said with a hoarse voice, "Inspector Li, what exactly happened? Why did we... faint on the ground? Didn’t you go to Qingshi Town?"

"Coach Hu, a big incident has occurred."

Hearing that more than two thousand officers and soldiers who went to Qingshi Town had been harmed by a taoist, the big-bearded man showed an incredible shocked expression.

"Is this true? They are taoists of the Kunlun lineage... how could they possibly collude with Evil Gods!"

"So many brothers have been framed, the truth is right before our eyes, now we are sharing life and death, would we still lie to you!" Inspector Li’s old face turned red as he shouted loudly, "Even Mother Turtle Spirit herself appeared to battle the Evil God."

"What more is there to doubt! If you want to die, then go die by yourself!"

The bearded officer opened his mouth.

He also looked at the gigantic turtles nearby, surprised and somewhat speechless.

The appearance of Mother Turtle Spirit was quite persuasive to the locals; every step of the old turtle shook the ground vigorously, making it tremble.

"So that’s the case..."

Of course, for Lu Tianming and his pioneers, they didn’t care much about what these officers and soldiers thought, as long as they didn’t come to hinder them during their war.

Anyway, the main force fighting the Evil God would still be their own people.

They also found a large number of Crossbow Arrows and some catapults in the warehouse.

The cow tendons in this world were stronger and more powerful than those on Earth, hence the Crossbow Arrows were more potent. The catapult could throw projectiles very far, with an estimated range of about 400 meters.

"Smear poison on the arrowheads; it could be somewhat useful. Now that all preparations are ready, push the catapults, and let’s head to Turtle Mansion without delay," Lu Tianming said, "Inspector Li, those of you who have the strength can join the battle, those without strength should hurry and direct the civilians to flee."

"The farther they escape, the better."

"I’ll take care of that!"

Both parties temporarily separated; the local officers were in charge of directing civilians to flee.

Meanwhile, the pioneer team’s warriors headed to the burnt-down Turtle Mansion, previously a place of thriving incense.

After the rain, visibility gradually improved.

The closer they got to Turtle Mansion, the quieter and more terrifying it became. As if a chilling emotion was spontaneously brewing in the hearts of the people—a Sixth Sense that signified great terror ahead.

Even the well-trained special hunting dogs raised their pointed shells on their backs, walking with their tails tucked.

Every person was very cautious—even the seasoned S-class Investigator felt an invisible sharpness at his back.

"We’re here."

At the end of their line of sight, the originally majestic Turtle Mansion had been mostly burnt down, yet it was wrapped in a layer of cobweb-like old cocoons. These cocoons seemed to have their own Vitality, slowly bouncing and wriggling.

There was also an intermittent "thump thump" sound coming from these old cocoons.

"Stop!"

Lu Tianming waved his hand, listened to that "thump thump" sound, and faintly felt waves of mental trance, as if something was manipulating his nerves, drawing him toward the direction of the old cocoons.

"Quick, look over there!" a scout shouted.

The people looked in the direction to the north and saw another group of dazed civilians lining up in queues, walking towards this side like zombies.

"Their target doesn’t seem to be us, but do not let your guard down."
