Chapter 1010: Turning Decay Into Miracles

"I’m already doing just that!"

A Ruan sneered and said:

"Ye Xiu’s plan to set Forest Island ablaze is indeed brilliant, but he would never have thought that decades ago, I had already dug out a safe haven in the Dungeon. We just need to move to the underground base there, and no matter how fierce the fire gets on Forest Island, it won’t threaten us."

Grandmother Tian Gu nodded, "We should also leave; once Forest Island starts burning, you might be fine, but Li Yingsu and I, as ordinary people, won’t be able to withstand it."

"Alright!" A Ruan nodded.

The three of them immediately sprinted at full speed towards the east, aiming to reach the Dungeon.

Meanwhile, Ye Xiu, still at the mountaintop of Mount Zhiwu chopping down robots, seeing the plan progressing smoothly, activated the Fire System Totem and shot numerous fireballs in all directions.

Originally, countless plastic barrels filled with gasoline dropped by thousands of aircrafts exploded upon hitting the ground, causing gasoline to spray everywhere on Forest Island.

Once the fireballs landed on the gasoline, the fire spread outward with Mount Zhiwu as the epicenter.

Simultaneously!

The Fire System Totem Inheritors hidden at the junction of the Dungeon and Forest Island also gleefully threw fireballs into Forest Island.

In an instant, Forest Island was engulfed in raging flames and billowing smoke.

"Not fighting with you anymore; enjoy a sauna instead!"

Ye Xiu, seeing the fire fully sparked from the top of Mount Zhiwu, immediately abandoned the slaughter and dove into the Trapping Formation where the hostages were held.

Heh heh!

This way, no matter how severe the burning becomes on Forest Island, he will not be harmed.

Seeing Ye Xiu rush into the Trapping Formation, the robots attacked it frantically. However, their defensive power was impressive, but their attack power wasn’t effective enough to shake the formation.

...

"Damn it, why didn’t I anticipate Ye Xiu using this move!"

A Ruan suddenly cursed while sprinting towards the Dungeon.

"What happened?" Grandmother Tian Gu asked.

"Ye Xiu dove into the Trapping Formation; this means all the contingencies we set for him, along with the plan to exhaust his Martial Prowess, cannot proceed." A Ruan vented angrily.

Grandmother Tian Gu sighed quietly; Ye Xiu was indeed tricky. Before heading to Mount Zhiwu, he had calculated all the possible happenings and devised responses for each.

She comforted:

"The plan is not entirely a failure. At least the people from the seven sects of the Gu Clan planted Gu in all the hostages, especially the sub-Gu from the Love Gu Sect, which can’t be removed. They will be manipulated by the Love Gu for life, serving as undercover agents around Ye Xiu, providing opportunities to kill him."

A Ruan nodded: "That makes sense!"

Following behind, Li Yingsu giggled gleefully; being a member of the Love Gu Sect, she understood Love Gu better than A Ruan and Grandmother Tian Gu.

Once a sub-Gu is planted, it can never be removed unless death.

Even if the Love Gu’s master is killed, the person with the sub-Gu will die along.

Therefore, even if Ye Xiu discovers that some hostages have the Love Gu sub-Gu, he’d be infuriated but wouldn’t dare kill those who implanted the Gu, instead fully protecting them.

Like her, Li Yingsu!

She planted the sub-Gu born from her Love Gu in Ye Xiu’s uncle.

Unless Ye Xiu didn’t want his uncle to live, he would undoubtedly protect her with all his might.

...

"Love Gu?"

After entering the Trapping Formation, Ye Xiu immediately checked Ye Lin’er’s pulse.

He found that Ye Lin’er had a Love Gu planted inside her.

Then he randomly checked others’ pulses.

Only Ye Lin’er, his father-in-law and mother-in-law, uncle, aunt, cousin, and 19 maids had the Love Gu sub-Gu planted.

The others had different types of Gu!

"Quite crafty, intending to control them using Gu to act as undercover agents, probing information from Base 2 or controlling them to assassinate me or 2’s personnel."

Ye Xiu quickly unraveled the scheme of artificial intelligence:

"This strategy is indeed poisonous, indeed brilliant, but too bad, I can dispel Gu."

...

A Ruan, Grandmother Tian Gu, and Li Yingsu finally reached the junction between Forest Island and the Dungeon.

Li Yingsu suddenly stopped, her handsome and enchanting face filled with shock and disbelief.

"What happened?"

Both A Ruan and Grandmother Tian Gu halted, with Grandmother Tian Gu asking.

"The sub-Gu I planted on Ye Xiu’s uncle has been dispelled."

Li Yingsu said with a pale complexion, a trickle of blood escaping her lips.

With the sub-Gu dispelled, she suffered a backlash from the Love Gu, sustaining serious injuries. After all, the sub-Gu is a child of the Love Gu. With the child’s death, the Love Gu was furious and retaliated fiercely against Li Yingsu, its master.

"What?"

"How is this possible?"

Both A Ruan and Grandmother Tian Gu exclaimed.

"Since the inception of Witch Gu Techniques, no one had ever been able to dispel the Love Gu, how did Ye Xiu manage it?" Grandmother Tian Gu asked in disbelief.

"I don’t know, but he certainly dispelled the sub-Gu I planted on his uncle." Li Yingsu said.

"Ye Xiu, oh Ye Xiu, he always manages to perform miraculous feats as if all impossibilities in the world could easily become possible with him; we’ve underestimated him after all."

Artificial Intelligence A Ruan sighed; facing Ye Xiu, it suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness; he was a man with no flaws, a real fortress.

"What now?" Grandmother Tian Gu asked.

A Ruan thought, "Let’s first leave Forest Island, wait for the Transcendent Laboratory and the seven sects of the Gu Clan to relocate to the Dungeon base, and then secretly send all the zombies into the volcano for the sacrifice and find a way to obtain the Three Judgment Divine Weapons."

"That’s all we can do!"

Grandmother Tian Gu and Li Yingsu nodded.

Despair hadn’t overtaken them because artificial intelligence still had plenty of tricks, and the seven sects of the Gu Clan hadn’t really made a move yet!

The three immediately set off again!

Headed towards the Dungeon!

However!

Not far from here, the running A Ruan suddenly crashed with a duang into an invisible wall.

Right behind, Grandmother Tian Gu and Li Yingsu also crashed into the invisible wall!

"Formation Barrier?"

A Ruan screamed:

"Ye Xiu, that bastard, secretly set up a Trapping Formation on Forest Island?"

Grandmother Tian Gu and Li Yingsu’s faces instantly lost color.

"We’re doomed!"

Grandmother Tian Gu said in despair:

"With the Trapping Formation enclosing Forest Island, the Transcendent Laboratory and the seven sects of the Gu Clan are trapped with no way out."

Li Yingsu turned to look at the raging fire and rolling smoke on Forest Island, said:

"Look, Ye Xiu seems to have set up a closed Trapping Formation; the fire’s heat and smoke are all trapped on Forest Island, unable to escape."

A Ruan and Grandmother Tian Gu noticed this too.

"Ye Xiu wants to roast us alive; he’s too malicious, too cruel, truly despicable!"

Grandmother Tian Gu cursed.

A Ruan frowned, worrying not about being roasted or not, but the temperature and smoke filling Forest Island potentially blocking the server and satellite signals, which would lead to significantly bigger troubles.
