Xu Lizhi, tasked with the cleanup, looked at the two soldiers in front of him, his face lost in thought...
He murmured to himself, "It seems that this way, we can stall for a bit longer..."
Then, he first stripped the armor off one of the soldiers and quickly donned it...
Although a bit bulky, it didn't hinder his movements...
After finishing these tasks, Xu Lizhi exerted much effort to drag the two soldiers into the Solitary Confinement Room, putting the Soul Suppressing Handcuffs and Spiritual Confinement Helmet on them...
Of course, he didn't forget to gag them!
Otherwise, if they called for help, things would get troublesome!
Looking at the two soldiers slumped on the ground inside, Xu Lizhi shut the door to the confinement room, clapped his hands, and exclaimed in relief, "All done, I hope Sister Xinglan and the others can hurry up over there..."
...
Tang Wulin and the others had been slowly walking along the wall, but when they reached the exit ahead, they suddenly stopped...
Ye Xinglan queried, "Wulin, what should we do now? Inside this army, there should be special imagery or something, and once exposed, we'll likely be identified!"
Yue Zhengyu suggested, "How about we quietly ambush those soldiers, and then use their armor! Either way, we won't stay long; just need to find the flying soul device!"
Yuanen Yehui retorted solemnly, "No way! There is surveillance all around; doing so will definitely expose us!"
Xu Xiaoyan hesitated, "I think we should think of another way; attacking those soldiers is much different from just knocking them out like before!"
Wu Siduo scoffed, "Hmph, the top of this army are all people from the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy; in their eyes, it's all the same!"
Xie Xie smirked and said confidently, "Don't worry, everyone, it's very easy to lure them over! Leave it to me!"
In the next moment, before anyone could stop him, he released his Shadow Clone, which glided ghost-like behind the guards...
"Swish..."
One of the soldiers turned around, scratched his head in confusion, and asked, "Did something just fly past us?"
The other soldier shrugged, "Impossible. Everyone in the Solitary Confinement Room is wearing Soul Suppressing Handcuffs; how could they quietly slip away right under our noses!"
The first soldier paused, chuckled lightly, "True! Maybe it's my imagination!"
Witnessing this scene, Xie Xie said bitterly, "Damn, it didn't work! These guys really have a lot of nerve!"
Tang Wulin sighed, "Let me handle it!"
In the next second, he stomped on the ground, causing a slight tremor...
Hearing this sound, the faces of the two soldiers abruptly changed to wary...
"Something's off over there, let's go check it out!!"
"Yeah, but be careful, maybe a prisoner has escaped!!"
Locking their gaze on the direction where the sound came from, they cautiously took out their melee weapons and walked over...
Upon reaching the dead end, they sighed in relief upon seeing only a bare wall, "Whew... Turns out there's nothing!"
"Indeed, it scared me! If some dangerous person had escaped, we wouldn't be able to handle it!"
Little did they know, the unnoticed Tang Wulin and the others behind them were all showing mischievous grins...
...
Xu Xiaoyan expressed disgust, "How gross! I wouldn't even consider eating this stuff; just looking at it makes my skin crawl!"
Xu Lizhi's face was full of fear, "Wait, Xie Xie's pot is filled with these stinky white bugs, could ours also be the same thing?"
He liked to eat, but only normal food; he had no appetite for this!
Ye Xinglan's face turned grim, "It's... possible if this is supposed to be the appetizer."
Yue Zhengyu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "Suddenly, Nightmare Old Demon doesn't seem that crazy compared to this; the food prepared by Devouring Demon isn't meant for humans!"
Hearing these words, Devouring Demon's eyes turned icy cold...
"Not meant for humans? You dare criticize the food I prepared so carefully for you!"
His sole interest was eating, having tasted all sorts of food, including what's in the pot before them. These young ones defaming it made him indignant!
He paused and continued, "Every one of you must choose one dish from the pot and eat it. If you can't finish it, I'll personally feed it to you!!!"
Yuanen Yehui's beautiful eyes seemed to have an idea, speaking sternly, "Devouring Demon, we can't eat this unless you demonstrate it yourself!"
Surely, preparing such disgusting things, Devouring Demon must also find it inedible!
Maybe it's purely to disgust them!
Hearing this, Devouring Demon sneered, "Demonstrate? Haha... you don't really think I've never eaten this, do you?"
With those words, he walked up to Xie Xie, reached into the pot, and pulled out a squirming white bug...
Without hesitation, Devouring Demon placed it into his mouth, chewing vigorously, his expression showing sheer enjoyment...
Witnessing this, everyone couldn't help but gag...
Such disgusting stuff, Devouring Demon looked like he was savoring a delicacy, it was overwhelming for them!
Xie Xie's face turned pale, "I... I can't believe it! Really... really ate it, and he seems quite pleased!"
Tang Wulin resignedly closed his eyes, "It's over, these white bugs are truly food for Devouring Demon!!!"
Ye Xinglan pursed her lips, "We really have to eat these white bugs? I... can't even imagine it!"
Yue Zhengyu swallowed hard, "It seems we do, given Devouring Demon... just ate those disgusting bugs!"
Coming to realization, Devouring Demon refocused on Tang Wulin and the others, speaking lightly, "Your turn now, start eating! I hope no one makes me act!"
Following his words, Tang Wulin walked out, picked one of the pots, and slowly opened it...
Sure enough, it was also filled with white bugs!
He suppressed the foul odor, grabbed one with his hand, and attempted to place it on his tongue...
But as soon as he did, his pupils shrank, urgently covering his mouth and chewing with a contorted expression...
Seeing this, Xie Xie also began eating, swallowing without even chewing...
Yue Zhengyu and Xu Lizhi exchanged glances, then walked to the table, trembling as they picked up the white bugs and started chewing...
Followed by a bout of vomiting...
