We're Pulling Out

"Warning! Warning! The Self-Destruct system of the Evil God Temple has been activated. The Evil God Temple will automatically explode in ten minutes. Please reach the top platform within ten minutes to escape the Evil God Temple!"

One last warning: The Evil God Temple's Self-Destruct system has been activated!

Just as Gu Xi was about to return to the upper platform through the Steel City Gate, a voice suddenly rang out.

Then Gu Xi heard a series of booming sounds as all the nearby gates opened, revealing the staircase leading to the platform above.

Gu Xi was stunned immediately.

What's going on here? He didn't see any red button and pressed it anyway.

How could it Self-Destruct? Gu Xi glanced at the ice and snow treasure chest in front of him, speechless, and suddenly had a guess in his mind.

Could there be Self-Destruct switch underneath this treasure chest?

If that's the case, then the layout of this Evil God Temple is actually quite plausible.

After clearing the four passages behind the four doors, return to the hall below and then come back up to fight the final boss.

After killing the final king and dividing the spoils, they immediately initiated Self-Destruct, without even needing to ask anyone to consider how to deal with the Evil God Temple.

The entire route has already been calculated.

Once you reach a safe location, if you can't fly or can't leave, that's your own problem; don't blame others if you die.

However, the tail king of the Evil God Temple never expected that Gu Xi would act in such an unconventional way.

Instead of fighting their way up from below, they went straight to the final platform, dismantled most of it, and took everything from the treasure chest before the final boss even appeared.

As a result, the Self-Destruct system was triggered prematurely.

At this moment, Gu Xi had no time to care about anything else. He raised his hand, took away the Steel City Gate, and then jumped onto the Evil Coffin, riding it towards the stairs.

Gu Xi reached the platform in just over two minutes.

At this point, Gu Xi had already dug up most of the east and south sides of the platform, but Gu Xi noticed that several activated Teleportation Array had appeared on the ground in areas where digging had not yet begun.

It seems this is the way to escape the Evil God Temple.

It's just unknown whether Fang Kang and the others down there will be able to escape.

As Gu Xi pondered this, he began to order Shaya to signal the troops to retreat through the City Gate.

He had no idea that Fang Kang and the other two were completely bewildered at that moment.

Although the three of them were of relatively high rank, their military strength was not as great as Gu Xi's.

Unlike Gu Xi, there was no situation where the number of troops could increase as the fighting progressed.

When they fight, they always probe first, and only make their move after figuring out the enemy's situation.

Fang Kang is currently the fastest progressing among them, having already defeated two bosses and is preparing to head towards the third.

The remaining two have only just reached the second boss.

In fact, Fang Kang's initial calculation was correct. They had two days to defeat the three bosses and one more day to defeat the final boss.

But now, they've only reached the second boss, so why is the Evil God Temple about to Self-Destruct?

They only have ten minutes; that's not even enough time for them to run out of here.

Fang Kang was in a hurry at this moment, and without paying attention to the battlefield that had not yet been cleaned up, he immediately gathered all his men.

Finally, he opened the box-like thing and took out a golden oil lamp from the second to last layer.

He placed the oil lamp in front of him and gently wiped it.

A blue-skinned elf with a lower Elf resembling a tornado appeared before him; this was the legendary Wish Genie.

What are your needs?

"Send me to the nearest escape point." Fang Kang initially wanted the Elf to take him to the hall, but after thinking about it, he wasn't sure if the hall could provide a way out of the Evil God Temple, so he immediately changed his approach.

"Ten days," the Wish Genie stated his condition.

"OK!"

Fang Kang readily agreed.

If he doesn't come down soon, he might die here.

So the Wish Genie blew in Fang Kang's direction, and in the next instant, Fang Kang disappeared from the battlefield with his box.

Meanwhile, Gu Xi was checking the time while directing his subordinates to carry out the final disassembly work.

There are still a few minutes left, so I'll take as much as I can.

Gu Xi didn't care about anything else now; he was dismantling the materials near the City Gate.

He would wait in Teleportation Gate, and when the last minute arrived, he would abandon everything and teleport away.

But just as he was dismantling these things, a flash of blue light appeared before his eyes, Fang Kang suddenly appeared in front of him.

Gu Xi was also taken aback when he saw Fang Kang.

"Hey there, how's your game going? Which boss have you gotten to?"

Fang Kang, who had just arrived, was still in a daze.

Upon seeing Gu Xi, Fang Kang finally realized, "Gu Xi, it's you. You triggered the self-destruct system?"

"It wasn't that I triggered the self-destruct system. It was that after I finished defeating the final boss, a treasure chest appeared, West One District of the chest, it self-destructed."

Gu Xi didn't intend to admit that he climbed up from outside and took the treasure chest without defeating the tailed king.

He knew the players' personalities very well, and he didn't want to be targeted.

"You defeated the final boss? That doesn't make sense. I was just about to start the third boss."

Gu Xi shrugged. "I have enough troops under my command, so the battle is faster. Look, I have tens of thousands of White Impermanence alone."

Gu Xi pointed to the Ghost Squad flying in the sky, still lamenting to himself, "Why don't I have an angel skin? If only I could make the Ghost Squad look like tens of thousands of angels."

Even if he didn't say that he had attacked the Tail King, Fang Kang would still believe that Gu Xi had killed the Tail King.

Fang Kang glanced at Gu Xi's Ghost Squad and finally sighed.

"The necromancer is so much better. His troops keep growing as the battle goes on. Unlike us, every soldier I have is something I research and create myself. I feel bad for half a day if one of them dies."

Gu Xi was too embarrassed to admit that he had benefited from his talent this time.

Even more embarrassing to say, the Ghost Squad only looks like a large group; in reality, hundreds of Ghost are equivalent to one person.

Just then, Fang Kang suddenly looked around.

"Where did Li Dangna and Yuan Xihua run off to?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Xi asked with some curiosity, "How did you get here?"

"I spent ten days of my life asking the Wish Genie to teleport me here directly."

Fang Kang said something, and the next instant, Fang Kang clapped his hands.

"Oh no, Li Dangna and Yuan Xihua are probably going to turn back. If they run into each other, we're doomed."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xi realized it was indeed true.

If it's just going back the way we came, that's better.

At most, they were unsure whether there was Teleportation Gate or something similar in the initial lobby.

However, if Li Dangna and Yuan Xihua were to bump into each other, they would inevitably fight.

But now there's no time.

Gu Xi thought for a moment, "Never mind, let's call it a day. Shaya, gather everyone, let's retreat."
