Lu Li, who had thought he had absolute mastery over the small world, didn't dare to take ill-considered actions. He decided to wait for reinforcement.
Yu Huashen left. Lu Li, Ming Yu, Zi Lian, and Bai Xiashuang camped on a big mountain. This mountain was steep. From the top, they could see everything and they could spot incoming enemies should there be any.
Ming Yu had been using his psychic power to search the surroundings. Not even an ant could be here without him noticing. Ye Cha patrolled nearby to see if he could find any clues or some useful information.
The small world had no distinction between day and night. The sky was dark red in color and the Xuan Qi here was quite thin. This was not a suitable place for living or cultivation. Even the number of trees was small and those that were there were dark-barked ones with few leaves.
Bai Xiashuang was on pins and needles and Zi Lian comforted her. Lu Li sat with a straight face. Ming Yu sat with his legs crossed and his eyes closed, constantly checking the surroundings, especially underground with his psychic power as the mysterious race could go underground in a fast speed.
Time moved on quickly. Half a day had passed, during which Ye Cha came back on two occasions. But his trips yielded nothing. The surroundings were quiet. Not even one Green Dwarf appeared. Nothing happened underground as well.
"Clan Leader Ye!"
Lu Li handed a warning jade talisman to Ye Cha after some thoughts and said, "Expand the areas of your search. If possible, capture a member of this race. If we are in any danger, I will break the jade talisman."
"Young Master, I don't think…"
Ye Cha was wearing an Illusion Mask so his expressions could not be seen. But it could be understood that he was worried. Lu Li waved his hand with determination so Ye Cha had to go.
"Lu Li, have Clan Leader Ye take me with him. My sister and I have a connection. If I am within a 30 miles radius from my sister, I can tell her exact location!"
Bai Xiashuang could not sit still. However, Lu Li shook his head and said, "No, you can't go nowhere. You must stay with me."
Bai Xiashuang was a restless character that could only be controlled by Lu Li. He was not okay with her going with Ye Cha. Lu Li himself was quite strong and Ming Yu had force. At least, they could protect themselves till Ye Cha came back once something went down.
They sat in silence and fed on prepared food and water. Yu Huashen had left to mobilize the army. He himself was quite fast but it would take some time to mobilize the powerful warriors and armies. It would take him at least two days.
After four hours, Ming Yu suddenly opened his eyes and shouted, "Young Master, something is wrong. Fly up!"
Lu Li released his Fate Wheel at once and shouted to Zi Lian, "Release your Fate Wheel and take Bai Xiashuang with you. Don't get down here until I say so."
Zi Lian nodded and released a seven-colored Fate Wheel. She took Bai Xiashuang with her and flew up by more than 1000 yards.
Lu Li followed them and so did Ming Yu. They stared downward coldly.
"Bang, bang, bang~"
The peak of the mountain burst open as six yellow figures shot out. The six yellow figures were as fast as warriors at the initial stage of the Noble Lord Realm. They flew up to the sky in an instant.
"Contain!"
Ming Yu released Force. Clouds and winds changed as a powerful surge of energy pressed down. At once, the six figures slowed down and fell into the tunnel they had shot out from.
Ming Yu's Force had an impact on the six. However, the six could still break out. Otherwise, they would have been frozen in midair instead of falling down.
"Ming Yu, capture them alive!"
Lu Li shouted. It was rare to see this mysterious race. Naturally, he would want to capture them alive to interrogate for some information.
Ming Yu thought in the same way. He flew down and released Force again. The speed of the six that were rushing towards the tunnel was greatly impaired.
"Whoosh~"
Ming Yu unsheathed his sword and stabbed downward. Two "yellow people" were stabbed and their bodies exploded. They were so weak in defense.
Since Ming Yu made a move, the Force was lessened. The rest four of the rushed into the tunnel immediately.
There was no way that Ming Yu was going to let them go.
He released Force once more to slow them down. This time, he didn't attack. He rushed downward, planning to cripple them.
1000 feet, 300 feet, 100 feet!
Ming Yu's eyes were glowing. He hurled his sword, and this time, he controlled his strength and made a precise move. He stabbed at the legs and hands of the four yellow people. They had just entered the tunnel but they could not run away anymore.
"Nice!"
Ming Yu was relieved. He was about to rush downward. The next second, he was taken by surprise and he flew back up at once.
"Boom~"
In the tunnel, a glaring yellow light glowed from the four, then they exploded like bombs. The entire mountain was burst open, dirt was rising up high, and the noise was earth-shaking.
"Such a pity…"
Ming Yu felt sorry. He didn't release Force to contain the four at the last moment. They had been so seriously injured that if they were contained, they couldn't have exploded themselves.
"No—"
Suddenly, Ming Yu trembled. He looked up and saw a yellow figure emerging from the void and was trying to grab at Lu Li with a pair of yellowish brown claws. Ming Yu was half dead with fright. He yelled in terror, "Young Master, look out!"
"Um?"
Actually, Lu Li already sensed life-threatening danger in the depth of his soul before Ming Yu reminded him. Without any hesitation, he released Dragon Roar. His shout shook the earth and sky, caused the wind to blow, and the space to tremble. This paused the yellow figure in midair.
"Clones~"
Lu Li's reaction was fast after he had experienced life and death for so many times. He generated clones as soon as he shouted and more than 10 Lu Li appeared.
"Blood Claw!"
Lu Li didn't run away. The more than 10 Lu Li rushed towards the figure that suddenly appeared. His hand in sleeve had already turned into a silver claw that struck at the yellow person's head.
"Bang!"
Expectedly, the head was crushed. Before it died, it would seem that it was still trying to figure out which one was the real Lu Li and which ones were not.
"Whoosh~"
Ming Yu flew up against the rain by blood and stood by Lu Li. Ming Yu's heart was still fluttering with fear and terror was written on his face.
"Hoo, hoo~"
Lu Li exhaled. Without any pause, he broke the jade talisman so Ye Cha could get back. If he didn't react so quickly, he would have been killed by now.
Also, the yellow person had chosen to attack him. If it was Zi Lian or Bai Xiashuang that had been under attack, they would have passed away.
The two yellow claws, though no match for Lu Li's Blood Claw, could crush Bai Xiashuang and Zi Lian's heads easily.
"They know cloaking skills? They know how to lure us away. This is terrible and they are intelligent beings."
Ming Yu thought. He had no idea that a yellow person lurked near Lu Li, not until the yellow person presented himself and gave out killing intent…
This was one yellow person that knew how to cloak. If there had been more than a dozen of them, all of them would have been killed.
