As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's expressions darkened again.
The nascent hope was shattered once again by Zhou Xuan.
"What do you mean? What do you mean by inviting the land deity to go underground?" Cao Yiyi asked.
"Uh, my ability is to God Invocation. At the First Tier, I summoned a Earth God, and then I can control the land to a certain extent, making things happen underground!" Zhou Xuan explained.
"I see!"
A hint of joy rose in Cao Yiyi's voice, but soon, remembering what Zhou Xuan had just said, his expression darkened, just like the others.
Is it possible that they will be caught up?
In other words, while it's entirely possible for them all to escape using this method, there's also a possibility that they'll all perish.
In fact, the latter possibility is more likely to occur!
So what should we do now?
Cao Yiyi frowned deeply.
"If we're going to do this, we'd better hurry, otherwise the chances of success will be even lower once the Profound Crystal Griffin get even closer!" said the Chongshan City Inspector, whose ability was Wind Howl.
"But if that's the case, wouldn't they all die?" said the inspector whose other ability was Corrosion.
"It's possible for everyone to die, but if you don't do this, and you continue to be chased like this, won't you all die anyway?" The Chongshan City Inspector, whose ability was Wind Howl, retorted. "In that case, isn't the only option to take a gamble and see if we can successfully escape?"
"This..." another inspector stammered.
If they're chased, they'll all die? Haven't you thought of another way?... Cao Yiyi looked at the two of them, somewhat uncertainly saying, "Actually, if we're chased, we won't all perish!"
"Huh?" The two were taken aback and looked over.
Wang Hu and Zhou Xuan also looked over.
"Won't they all be sacrificed?"... Han Ling glanced at Cao Yiyi, her eyes flickering slightly.
She seemed to have thought of something, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she turned her gaze back to the Profound Crystal Griffin that was chasing after her.
"Watch out, the attack is coming again..."
Once again, everyone dodged the incoming icy breath.
Then, Cao Yiyi's gaze swept over everyone, and he said:
"If we really want to run, we can actually split up and escape. That way, although it's impossible for everyone to escape successfully, the Profound Crystal Griffin can only chase one person first. Only after dealing with that person can it chase the others!"
"Given the current distance and our situation, the Profound Crystal Griffin can only catch up to two at most!"
"In other words, if this method is adopted, more people will definitely be able to survive, but..."
She paused, then continued:
"However, this also means that someone will definitely be sacrificed. As for who will be sacrificed, that may only depend on luck and which person the Profound Crystal Griffin will choose to chase first!"
After he finished speaking, the channel fell silent.
Everyone wasn't stupid. They hadn't thought of it at first, but after Cao Yiyi's reminder, they immediately realized it was the right approach. Moreover, Cao Yiyi had explained it in great detail. However...
It depends on luck; will the Profound Crystal Griffin choose which one to pursue first?
Everyone remained silent.
The wind whistled past everyone's ears.
After dodging two more attacks, Han Ling glanced at the Profound Crystal Griffin that had closed in even further behind her, her gaze sweeping over the crowd before finally settling on Cao Yiyi. She said in a deep voice:
"We need to decide quickly, otherwise, if we keep dragging it out, the success rate of either method will decrease!"
Upon hearing this, Cao Yiyi frowned deeply.
Two methods.
It's a scenario where people will definitely die, but some will definitely survive, and the number of survivors will exceed the number of deaths.
One outcome: either all live, or all die.
She's fine with carrying out tasks normally, but when it comes to making this kind of decision, she really doesn't know what to do!
She subconsciously glanced at everyone, intending to ask for their opinions, but paused slightly before her lips could fully open.
No, this is a battlefield, time is of the essence, we can't afford to waste any more time like this!
Moreover, we cannot embarrass Xingwei!
Cao Yiyi glanced at the Profound Crystal Griffin that wasn't too far behind, then looked away and swept his gaze over the crowd.
She gritted her teeth and said:
"Let's go down and try to escape from underground. What do you think?"
"I have no objection!" Wang Hu replied in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, the inspector, whose ability was to Corrosion, breathed a sigh of relief.
The inspector, whose ability was Wind Howl, frowned, opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing more.
Han Ling looked at Cao Yiyi with slight surprise. She had thought that the other party might not be able to make up his mind, but she didn't expect him to make a decision so quickly? Although it was in the form of asking a question!
But this is for the best!
"I have no objection either!" Han Ling replied, turning her gaze to Zhou Xuan, " Zhou Xuan!"
Zhou Xuan raised an eyebrow. Although he might actually prefer another approach, this would work too.
"Ah, I understand!" Zhou Xuan replied, then said, "Quick, come with me!"
As he spoke, his figure rapidly descended forward.
The others adjusted their direction and landed in the direction he was heading.
"Bang!"
The group landed on the ground with almost no slowing down.
Cao Yiyi watched with some curiosity, only to see Zhou Xuan quickly squat down on one knee and then raise his hands together in prayer position.
" Lord of the Land, please help me!"
Is this how you're supposed to use this ability?... Cao Yiyi a little curious, only to see a faint yellow aura enveloping Zhou Xuan's body.
Before she could continue watching, Cao Yiyi seemed to sense something and looked in the direction of the Profound Crystal Griffin.
A massive white icy breath, just like the previous attacks, was hurtling towards them.
This time, I can't hide like before, and I can't hide anymore!
If they dodged, the Profound Crystal Griffin could continue attacking like they did this time, forcing them to constantly change positions and preventing them from retreating.
Therefore, there's no way to hide, and you shouldn't hide!
"Quickly, stop this attack!" Cao Yiyi shouted.
Without her saying it, the others understood.
The Chongshan City inspector, whose ability was to Wind Howl, quickly raised his hand.
The gust of wind quickly condensed into blades in his hand, which then spun and flew out.
"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!..."
One after another, the wind blades collided with the icy breath and quickly dissipated.
The wind blades didn't seem to offer much resistance, but they did consume a significant amount of the ice breath's energy.
Then, Wang Hu stepped forward.
His figure rapidly enlarged during this process, and the black fluid covered his body in the process.
He looked up at the icy breath shooting towards him, his eyes turning crimson.
The next instant, the figure shot out towards the icy breath.
" Fivefold Force - Tear the Sky..."
