Chapter 566: 566
In the early afternoon, continuous whinnies of exhausted horses suddenly came from the running caravan group . Then, at least a dozen horses slowed down, and those people were left behind by the large group .

They were relatively poor in that group . They were not riding special horses with bloodlines of demon beasts which could run thousands of miles . They were riding fine-quality horses like ordinary adventurers .
Fine horses were of course good . Common inferior horses couldn’t compete with them . However, since the night, they had been running . Although they were fine horses, they were still exhausted .
The knights’ horses were equally exhausted . Looking at the caravan group that was running further, they stayed silent for a long time . Then, they stopped and sighed .
“No Solution,” a powerful person in this team said . “We probably can only escape here . ”
“What should we do next?” another person asked . “Where are we going?”
“Is there a big difference?” the person who had previously spoken said with anger . “In the face of a true god, it is the same wherever you flee to . ”
“Maybe it would be better to escape to a temple,” another person said . “Let’s find a temple . ”
“Even the priests of temples are running with us . Do you think they are more stupid than you?” the powerful guy said . He found a relatively flat grassland and laid down . “I figured it out . I’ll just lie here . If His Majesty wants to kill me, I’ll die no matter where I am . At least let me rest before I die . ”
Seeing him, most of them also found a place to sit or lay down .
After running for half a night and half a day, they understood that such an escape was meaningless . When they were originally running away, they had a kind of herd mentality . In other words, they had the selfish idea that “I can’t be faster than a tiger, so I’ll just run faster than my companions . ” Now they calmed down and naturally figured it all out .
Such an idea was nothing more than an illusion . Recalling the scene when the Void Mask caught people today, they found there were no rules at all . He didn’t catch people according to their speed, personal status, and strength . No one knew what the jellyfish god was thinking .
Maybe, he just caught people at random .

After figuring it out, the power that had supported them to escape naturally disappeared .
Since it was the same whether they escaped or not, why should they bother to escape?
“I am stupid, really!” a relatively old person said, sighing . “It is at least a little more comfortable to lie at home peacefully and wait to die . In that case, I would still be lying in a soft bed, full of food . Well, I was not willing to drink the bottle of good wine stored in the cupboard . I should have drunk it . ”
His words resonated with those people . For a time, they were angry about their stupidity . Anger was useless, but they were still angry .
At this moment, one of the people was suddenly entangled in tentacles that appeared out of thin air . That guy cried out in alarm and then disappeared without a trace . After a while, the tentacles reappeared and threw his dead body back . His head was separated from his body with blood squirting .
Those people looked at each other . Someone shouted, “Run . ”
So they immediately stood up, climbed on the horses and ran wildly again .
This time, they only ran for a short time . Those fine horses didn’t rest well, so their temperatures were almost as high as having a fever . They foamed at the mouth and couldn’t run anymore .
During this time, the tentacles appeared again and took away another person . No one saw his body, but they knew that he was definitely dead .
“My horse can’t run . What should I do?”
“The horses can’t run, but we can still run!”
“But is it meaningful to run like this?”

There was no answer to this question . No one could answer it .
In fact, it was still meaningful . Even if they could be a little farther away from the horrible jellyfish god, they could make themselves feel a little better .
Although it was just an illusion and although the short distance was useless, people would also firmly grasp the last straw when they were going to drown .
After running hard for a while, someone finally couldn’t help but shout, “I don’t want to be killed by a jellyfish!”
After shouting, he pulled out a knife and cut his neck . Suddenly, blood spewed, and his body fell down softly .
The people stopped running and looked at each other . Finally, they looked at the person who was still bleeding and dying on the ground .
Slitting your neck, seemed to be a solution .
After all, if they committed suicide, at least their souls wouldn’t be sent to hell .
They were all devout believers of the Orc gods, and these years, they had worked well for the gods . Even if they made little contributions, at least they worked hard . In any fashion, they would be brought to the God’s Kingdom .
However, in a flash, something that made them desperate happened .
A figure wearing a black robe and holding a scythe appeared next to the man who was about to die completely . The figure wielded the scythe and swiped through his body .
The scythe didn’t hurt his body, but it hooked onto his soul like a real hook, dragging his soul out of his body . His soul was like a specimen pinned by a needle .

The figure in the black robe with the scythe immediately disappeared with the hooked soul . During the whole process, he didn’t look at the people around him at all .
Even so, the gloomy chill that he left behind and the cold and solemn feeling that could make all the wicked people cringe clearly told them his identity .
He was the Soulbringer from hell . In the legends, Soulbringers were Oracles who would take the souls of the wicked bring them to hell before the messengers of their gods came .
“How… how can this be possible?!” a person yelled in panic . “We can’t even commit suicide?”
“Lord… Where is our Lord? He… he should… should send messengers to pick… pick us up,” another person stuttered out . Even his words were trembling .
It was not his fault . Whether they were being executed or committed suicide, they would eventually go to hell . Seeing that scene, they were desperate to the extreme .
Someone started to kneel on the ground and prayed in a low voice .
“Lord, who I serve, please pity me . Take my soul away so that I will not fall down to hell . ”
So the other people copied him and started praying, but it was useless .
A moment later, Sui Xiong’s tentacles reappeared, taking a person away to the guillotine . He stated their crimes and declared their punishment—the death penalty .
Then, he cut off their head, and the Hell Messengers took their soul away .
Throughout the process, the Orc gods didn’t react at all .
In the Endless Field, Lefon, the Master God of the Orc God System, was watching the scene taking place in the mortal realm . He shook his head and sighed deeply .
He knew that this was only the beginning . It was only the beginning .
“Your Majesty, it won’t work like this!” a god advised . “Even if you don’t stop the Void Mask from arresting people and executing them, at least you should pick up the souls who commit suicide . ”
“This time, the attitude of hell is very tough,” Lefon said, shaking his head . “Unless we want to fight with them, we can only give in this time . ”
“But, the souls of the believers are our own property!” another god said angrily . “How can those hell guys reach into our bowls to grab our food!”
“Hell has always announced that all souls should accept fair trials after their death . They should be responsible for what they did during their lifetime . They have always condemned the actions of us gods . We set up God’s Kingdoms to pick up the souls of our believers . They think that is destroying the world order and rebelling against the Big Circulation . For this, we have fought a few times,” an old god said, sighing . “If we don’t give in this time, we will definitely fight one more time . ”
“We can’t defeat them?” Lefon asked, looking around .
The gods meditated, and then someone whispered, “After leaving the underworld, the combat power of the hell guys will decrease . ”
“But I bet as long as we fight with hell, the human gods will unite with Hell and attack us,” Lefon said calmly . “In that case, we will definitely lose . ”
He said, sighing again, “Forget it . We still have a long future . The adverse effects of this time will sooner or later be eliminated over the years . After a hundred years, who will remember what happened this time?”
The Orc gods sighed and looked at each other without speaking .
