Whatever they feared came to pass.
Pan Xiaoxiao had only just thought that the evacuation plan was too risky, that it might very well fall apart halfway through.
The next second, something happened.
A commotion sounded from ahead, causing the slowly advancing stone container to abruptly stop.
The swamp-like substance inside sloshed back and forth, burying the three women floating atop it and completely concealing them.
Through the yellowish-brown haze, Pan Xiaoxiao saw a figure darting over through the air, shouting:
"What are you pushing?!"
Pan Xiaoxiao's heart lurched.
It was over.
From the sound of that voice, the one blocking their path was Mr. Lu!
More precisely, it was the god who had taken over Mr. Lu's body—Eternal Night!
Could this slapdash disguise really fool a god's eyes?
At that thought, Pan Xiaoxiao's muscles tensed involuntarily as she prepared herself to face an enemy at any moment.
But Lump Eight, the frenzied giant demon, gave an answer that caught her completely off guard.
"What am I pushing?"
"Are you blind?"
"Of course I'm pushing shit! What else could it be, food?"
The moment the words left his mouth, Pan Xiaoxiao immediately felt the two people squeezed beside her go rigid.
The black silhouette floating in midair also stiffened, clearly at a loss for words.
But he soon lost any chance to respond.
Because another furious shout came from the horizon:
"Lu Li, you're alive after all!!"
Before Pan Xiaoxiao's eyes, purple light burst through the brownish-green shroud!
The roar of raging flames filled her ears.
The stone container holding filth and the three women started moving again, creaking and rattling as it headed away from the battlefield.
Amid the receding sounds of battle and the three women's continued bewilderment, they drifted past the first obstacle just like that.
Just
