Chapter 1152: Chapter 801 Sneak Attack

"A hint from a demigod?"

After Li Changhe shared the information, Wuji couldn’t help frowning and said, "That long-dead demigod wants to lead you to the ancient temple ruins near the final stronghold? What is he trying to do?"

"Wait a second, shouldn’t the first question we consider be why that demigod could sense the existence of the archer?" Big Iron Pestle expressed his doubt, "He died hundreds of years ago, and it was precisely because of his death that this valley was covered by a curse. How could it be that hundreds of years later, he still leaves behind a message for the archer?"

"It must be the ability to foresee or, you could say, future sight," Wuji responded, "As more superior divine creatures, demigods have a more focused projection in the void and can see much more. There are beings that can foretell events hundreds or even thousands of years in the future due to this ability. This human demigod, Lanxiu, might just possess such a power. In his past, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the future’s shimmering light. And discovered a general who can see his traces."

Li Changhe’s Magic Eye possessed Tracing Insight. It could reconstruct historical scenes through traces.

And the human demigod Lanxiu, possessed the ability to foresee the future. He could see some future scenes.

This resulted in a subtle connection between the two who otherwise couldn’t meet or communicate.

Perhaps in his view, while he was engrossed in reading military reports, he suddenly saw a vision from the future: a young human studying him.

"That’s right, if we put ourselves in the demigod Lanxiu’s perspective. Within his own territory, inside his own stronghold. To see someone from the future who could reconstruct traces, thus seeing himself, would indeed be quite astonishing," said the bronze sword, "Moreover, if demigod Lanxiu foresaw his own downfall from being surrounded and killed, and the changes in the world after his death, then upon discovering you, a fellow human... he should bear no malice. I guess he’s trying to guide you to somewhere that would be beneficial for you or perhaps to convey some information to you, or even directly lead you to his inheritance."

The bronze sword’s voice was filled with emotion.

Being one of Hua Country’s top divine artifacts, it seemed to understand the human demigod’s thoughts quite well.

Indeed.

At the height of human dynasties, the human king vanished, and Lanxiu, the strongest combatant among humans, also fell in battle.

With the curse following the death of the demigod and the strangeness that was gradually eroding the rationality of living beings, those strong soldiers and knights who were supposed to protect humanity became twisted monsters.

The mighty human civilization collapsed in just a few short years.

And those rational human survivors were huddled together in corners and within Hundred Generals City.

The human race, which was supposed to dominate this world, could now only desperately survive.

And if demigod Lanxiu had foreseen such circumstances and then discovered Li Changhe’s existence,

Discovering that among humans, a strong figure yet unaffected in rationality had been born anew, he would naturally be overjoyed.

The bronze sword understood the demigod’s thoughts; after all, the sword itself was preserved in this way.

Human Ancestor, he too... glimpsed the approaching of the great cataclysm.

But due to various reasons, Human Ancestor could not engage in that battle or exist in that period of the world. So, he placed all his hopes in his descendants and left Xuanyuan Divine Sword and his inheritance in a certain place.

What a pity... alas, this is a misunderstanding.

Even if that human demigod was elated, leaving behind an abundance of resources, information, and even his inheritance for future generations. It was all in vain.

Because Li Changhe is not a human being from this world.

Wuji looked at Li Changhe, and as Li Changhe was still wearing a hood, he couldn’t see his expression,

He couldn’t help but say, "Then... General, how do you decide?"

"Since I’ve been invited, let’s go take a look. Even if we’re not from the same world, as fellow humans, let’s do what we can. As for the inheritance, I’m not particularly interested. I expect you feel the same," Li Changhe replied, "I just want to see what happened to this world and whether the same thing might happen in the real world."

Indeed, Li Changhe and Wuji were both strong individuals who had already covered some distance on the path of divinity. What they needed wasn’t an inheritance, but rather to ascertain the truths of this world. After all... such disasters could very well manifest in the Real World.

"Ah, General, I find myself growing quite fond of you." Wuji said with a low chuckle.

"Back off, I don’t swing that way." Li Changhe raised his hand in refusal.

"Neither do I, dammit! You really are a conversation killer!" Wuji complained.

"Although I quite dislike the General, I’m very pleased with you, lad. It’s just a pity... why did you have to pick the General? So young, and already your eyes have gone bad." The Bronze Sword was very satisfied with Li Changhe’s statement, but given that Li Changhe was an Extraordinary Soldier and part of the Jiuli Sequence, he still teased Li Changhe.

Afterward, the group rested for several hours within the checkpoint.

During this time, Li Changhe and others tried some of Great Tang’s specially prepared jerky. They couldn’t help but highly praise Xia Yun’s preparation.

As for Black Sheep’s comments that the jerky was too small and not filling enough, they were completely ignored.

You’re a mount; consider yourself lucky you get to eat at all, let alone be picky.

However, just as Li Changhe rode Black Sheep, grumbling as they left the checkpoint,

his expression changed subtly. He sensed a faint hostility.

He spoke subconsciously, "It seems we’ve been targeted."

At the same time, a figure lurking in the distant jungle suddenly opened their blood-red eyes.

Meanwhile, in another direction, someone silently aimed the barrel of a sniper cannon at the checkpoint’s location. The rest sharpened their knives with menace.

In this Hundred Generals Trial Sword task, from the perspective of acquiring rankings,

all players were competitors, as well as each other’s prey.

Among them, there were no lack of players who chose to form teams and ambush other players to obtain King’s Medals and other resources.

And at this moment, a hunting team had discovered the tracks of Li Changhe and his companions.

They quietly moved within their attack range, ready to ambush the other party the moment they left the checkpoint.

If they could kill or severely injure one or two players first, their larger number would give them the advantage.

Using this tactic, they had already defeated a team before, reaping a bounty; now, they set their sights on Li Changhe and his companions.

So, the moment Li Changhe finished speaking,

he and Black Sheep beneath him were instantly ignited by crimson flames that appeared out of nowhere.

That was the effect of igniting the Magic Eye, which allows the user to combust the target at high temperatures from a distance once the gaze is locked onto the target—utterly unforeseeable.

Simultaneously, a muffled boom resounded from afar. A shell as thick as an arm shot accurately towards Li Changhe’s head.

This was their strategy, to quickly take out the unlucky leader first.

And, as luck would have it, Li Changhe was that unlucky sod.
