Chapter 1006: Chapter 441: Challenge Letter

“Now I already know the opponent’s layout.”

“Two are definitely above Peak Demigod, possibly even at the Divine Envoy Level, along with an Ancient God Relic and Immortal Equipment.”

“That man in the black robe might also have hidden methods.”

But Chu Xiu didn’t feel intimidated in this area; after returning to the Civilization Domain, his injuries would quickly heal and he would receive substantial attribute boosts. For now, it seemed he could suppress the Silent Judge.

Moreover, there were Zhang Zhengdao and three Array Maps, all formidable forces in battle.

Chu Xiu rapidly analyzed and calculated in his mind.

He finally concluded that, even so, the best decision at the moment was to retreat strategically.

Although it would mean all the initial investment would be in vain, and his civilization would face annihilation, which could be considered a huge loss, it would allow him to preserve the top-tier survival artifact, the Free Deep Dive Scroll.

From an absolute rational perspective, who knows what unknown methods the man in the black robe might have, staying would be too risky!

However, although Chu Xiu is mostly calm and rational, always analyzing the optimal solution,

his underlying nature is actually vengeful and gambler-like!

He licked his lips; the Silent Judge thrust deep into the Star Core made him genuinely feel the threat of death, with every voice in his mind urging him to withdraw immediately. Just like Zhao Jie said, he was too conspicuous, the tallest tree catches the wind, even the Celestial King noticed him. It would be wise to find a secluded place to grow silently.

With his talent, there was no need to rush.

Yet, for some reason, his body couldn’t help but get excited, his mind unprecedentedly clear, constantly analyzing the strength comparison between the two sides!

He raised his eyes to look; he hadn’t been away for long, probably only a dozen seconds. The front lines were still fiercely battling.

But in the air above, it was calm, with no trace of Lilith or the black-robed man, they likely went into hiding again waiting for the next opportunity.

“Whoosh—”

Three beams of light flew by, landing near Chu Xiu, it was Zhang Zhengdao and three other Demigods.

“What just happened, did you get caught in a mental illusion?” Zhang Zhengdao glanced around and asked.

Chu Xiu nodded, “Yes, I was lured out by the enemy, fortunately, I found a chance to rush back.”

Zhang Zhengdao acknowledged with a hum, “I was negligent, didn’t expect the enemy could still use such methods in the Civilization Domain.”

He then raised his hand, a jade-like green Magic Spell appeared in the air and fell into Chu Xiu’s body.

“This is the Xuanqing Firm Thought Spell, effective in resisting mental attacks.”

The Divine Power Daoist likewise offered a Talisman, “This is the Five Thunder Correct Thought Talisman, it also has a similar effect.”

Chu Xiu felt that the mental protection granted by the two were of high grade, common Demigod Level mental attacks wouldn’t stand a chance.

However, against attacks like the Five-Person Mud Jar, they would at most play a supporting role.

“Getting a bit underestimated, huh.” Chu Xiu let out a light breath.

In reality, Zhang Zhengdao and the others did somewhat underestimate Chu Xiu.

In the Civilization Domain, not to mention that all Basic Attributes were greatly enhanced, just being the Master of Civilization’s powers virtually guaranteed immunity against external mental techniques.

The expected development should be to quickly become immune to attacks and decisively strike back to eliminate the opponent.

In their view, the fact that Chu Xiu still got hit, and acted like a fool rushing out to be captured, indicated his Mental Attribute level might not yet even match that of an average Demigod.

Of course, it’s already astonishing, even having a Constitution reaching Demigod Level is bewildering, what more could you ask for?

Thus, the three didn’t blame him, and instead felt a bit remorseful, thinking they hadn’t accounted for everything.

Even if it wasn’t their fault, they still believed it was their responsibility as seniors, seasoned Awakened training in the Abyss for decades, to take the blame! Surely, they couldn’t hold a junior, who awakened only three years ago, accountable?

They silently downgraded their assessment of Chu Xiu’s strength and position from reliable combat power to someone needing protection.

“Stay by my side, if there’s another mental attack, I can shield you,” Zhang Zhengdao said.

Chu Xiu remained silent, still pondering whether to fight or retreat. Zhang Zhengdao assumed Chu Xiu still didn’t trust him, sighed, “Divine Power, Chen Huang, I’ll lead the array, you two focus on protecting Chen Ce.”

“Understood,” the two responded, Zhang Zhengdao was the most senior and strongest, they had no objections following his commands.

Zhang Zhengdao continued, “I will temporarily assume Zhao Jie’s command duties as his Eye of Past and Future can clearly foresee the attacks aimed at you.”

“Don’t forget, the primary target of the enemy in this battle is you. The Civilization War can be lost, but we must ensure your safe return.”

Chu Xiu took a deep breath but hadn’t spoken yet.

Suddenly, five auras swiftly rose from different parts of the Blood Demon Army’s formation, rapidly growing stronger!

The intensity of these five auras shot up rapidly, in the end, two reached the level of Perfect Demigod, while the remaining three weren’t far behind, it was precisely five Blood Demons!

“What is this!” The three were collectively shocked.

Chen Huang’s eyes widened with surprise, “Such terrifying auras, how little time since the Sea of Blood ritual started, what horrifying upgrade speed do these guys have!”
