The warriors set out with great strength and vigor. This time, Lu Li took his three wives with him. They had just been separated for two years. Lu Li himself would feel sorry himself if he had to be away from them again so soon.The main forces moved out first. Lu Li and his three wives stayed at the Demon-slaying City for a couple of days before they slowly flew towards the City of Voodoo.
Ke Mang had deactivated the seal already. Jiang Tianshun and Patriarch Sun had led over 20 Earth Immortal Realm warriors with them and charged into the city. By the time Lu Li arrived, the main forces had started to enter the city.
"You have seized 10 cities? Well, that"s quite nice!"
Lu Li received a report. Then, Lu Li and Jiang Qiling and the twins stepped into the portal. After a glare rose, they emerged in a huge cave with a hint of purple fog. There must be some toxic matters around, but Patriarch Sun and the others had expelled them.
"Excavate the mountain and let the purple fog disperse!"
Lu Li instructed. There was little purple fog left. Even so, it would be highly poisonous. Since there were many warriors coming, Lu Li did not want to see any unnecessary injuries occurring.
Outside the valley were blue hills and green streams, unlike how Lu Li pictured the Voodoo Land of the South would look like. He had thought that everything was in shades here and poisons and bones would lie around.
"Grand Master!"
Patriarch Sun was guarding the opening of the cave. When Lu Li came out, he pointed to the distance and said, "You might think that the view is pleasant but… there are toxins and bewitched insects everywhere. Every one of the Voodoo Race knows about toxins and undead insects, and they have been meddling with those things since they are little, which is why the Voodoo Land of the South is full of such matters. I have ordered all the warriors to take detoxicating peels and forbid them from wandering around or touching anything before so instructed. Also, I told them to destroy anything wherever they are."
"Good. You can never be too careful!"
Lu Li nodded. He walked to the sides and took out the Wicked Bead from which stepped out a beautiful lady. She was the Master of Bond. Lu Li brought her over for recon at the Voodoo Land of the South.
"He Yue!"
Looking at her, Lu Li asked, "In this land, poison is everywhere. Will your subsidiary bodies be poisoned to death?"
"No!"
He Yue, the parent body of a Bond beast bowed and explained, "My subsidiary bodies are like my tentacles. They will be fine even if they"re poisoned because they have no soul. As long as the bodies are not corroded or killed, I will be able to sense the situation around them."
"Okay!"
Lu Li nodded with satisfaction. "Then let your subsidiary bodies out. I need to know everything about the Voodoo Race at this land."
"Yes, my lord!"
The Bond beasts were never able warriors, and they had always been depending on others. Previously, they were heeding orders from Master of Silver Dragon. Now that Lu Li had become the overlord of the Paleo-beast Realm, He Yue would not disobey him.
She let out a white glow and became an organism that resembled a jellyfish. On her body were countless holes from which flew out half-transparent insects with the size of flies. They were fast, and they spread out like a swarm of locusts. Soon, they vanished in the distance.
"Wow~"
Bai Xiashuang and the other two were with Lu Li. This spectacular scene made Bai Xiashuang cry out in surprise.
Lu Li did not blame her for making noises. Instead, he patted her head fondly and said, "Don"t disturb her. Let"s go there."
Lu Li brought his three wives over and told Patriarch Sun after some thoughts, "Send a message to Grandpa Jiang. Stop attacking and guard the cities we already have. We will make further plans after I have a full picture of the Voodoo Land of the South."
Jiang Tianshun had met some setbacks in cultivation, and his realm was not improving. He had been nursing grievances in the Demon-slaying Hall. When he heard about Lu Li"s expedition, Jiang TIanshun offered to be in the vanguard. After all, this expedition would be recorded in history, and his name would be in it.
Jiang Tianshun intended to conquer a region. Since there were no powerful ones of the Voodoo Race nearby, Jiang Tianshun and dozens of Earth Immortal Realm warriors with him had been achieving sweeping gains.
However, he could not disobey Lu Li"s orders. The warriors were called back to the 10 cities to organize a defense.
He had ordered the slaughter of all the Voodoo Race warriors in the 10 cities. Jiang Tianshun was more merciful than this, but the Voodoo Race warriors all knew about poisons. An average Voodoo Race warrior might be able to poison a group of human warriors to death.
As for the civilians of the Voodoo Race, they were sent out of the city, locked up, trapped with Inhibition Formations. Two patriarchs of the Shadowland Race were sent over just to build Inhibition Formations to imprison the captives.
The subsidiary bodies of the Bond beast spread out rapidly. He Yue, being the master of the species, was the most powerful in the species.
In just one day, eight to nine million subsidiary bodies had covered an area to survey hundreds of billions of miles in radius. The toxins had proven to be ineffective to the subsidiary bodies. Of the eight to nine million subsidiary bodies, only tens of thousands died. The rest had all concealed themselves safely.
Lu Li did not rush on any actions. He let He Yu send out more subsidiary bodies to an even wider area. "Know yourself and know your enemy, you will win every war."
Three more days pa.s.sed. He Yue had sent out tens of millions of subsidiary bodies. Given her abilities, sending out hundreds of millions of subsidiary bodies would be easy and monitoring the entire Voodoo Land of the South was a piece of cake.
Many reports were delivered. When humans invaded, the Voodoo Land of the South was thrown into chaos.
The Voodoo Race lacked Earth Immortal Realm warriors. This race had always been relying on poisons. But without someone with a high realm, they could not control the more threatening poisons in their disposal.
The Voodoo Race had learned that Lu Li had killed the Asmodian Lord and wiped out the Feather Race. Therefore, many at the Voodoo Land of the South sunk into despair. Some smaller families of the Voodoo Race were planning on surrender.
Of course!
None of the major families thought about surrendering because that would put out their families" interest in danger. They might suffer from a bloodbath. Those were the ones that could potentially cause instability when humans wanted to rule the land.
The inc.u.mbent Master of Voodoo Race at the Voodoo Castle issued an announcement, calling for all the warriors to gather and fight against the humans to the death.
Also, the Master of Voodoo Race informed the entire Voodoo Race that he had used the altar to ask for help from the G.o.d of Sorcerer. He would use the ultimate poison at the critical moment to help kill the invaders.
The entire Voodoo Race flung to excitement upon receiving the news. G.o.d of Sorcerer was the immortal that the Voodoo Race wors.h.i.+ped, a warrior at the Divinity. If G.o.d of Sorcerer could really send down some poison from the Divinity, then tens of millions of human warriors would be poisoned to death alive.
"G.o.d of Sorcerer? Poison from the Divinity?"
Lu Li did not express his opinion. For one thing, there was some doubt as to the existence of this G.o.d of Sorcerer. Another one was, say he was real, he would only be able to send down an avatar like the G.o.d of Wings.
Sending down poison? Using some skills at the distant Divinity and send over some poison to the Heaven Reverse Universe across G.o.d knows how long, not even a mighty warrior at the Divinity would be able to do that, let alone an average one.
If there was only one avatar, then Lu Li had no reason to be frightened at all. After eating the Master of Silver Dragon, the Dragon Demon had been strengthened. How strong the Dragon Demon was now after eating the Three-legged Golden Toad? Lu Li did not know himself…
"Fight to the death? It is so much better!"
Lu Li thought he might just as well stay in the city and wait for the Master of Voodoo Race to come out with his armies. By then, one fight could wrap up the matters at the Voodoo Land of the South.
