Great Emperor, We've Come to Save You!

"Whoosh!"

The long stick moved extremely fast, and it appeared out of the tree trunk unexpectedly.

This sudden turn of events was something none of the people following Gu De had anticipated.

For a moment, everyone's eyes widened as they stared at the giant tree as if they had seen a ghost, and at the same time, a thought flashed through their minds.

"How could the Emperor Road be so treacherous? Who could possibly avoid it?"

Just as their thoughts crossed their minds, Gu De let out a low curse.

"Hold!"

The next moment, under everyone's watchful eyes, Gu De made a move that seemed almost impossible.

"Brush"

The long stick that suddenly appeared grazed Gu De's body before grazing sideways.

The attack was dodged.

Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, followed by a strong sense of admiration.

An emperor is still an emperor, and even though he is currently trapped on the Emperor Road, he is still beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Even Gu De couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction at this moment.

He was acutely aware of his current physical condition.

According to his estimation, it was almost impossible to dodge such an attack; he would inevitably take the hit.

However, in that emergency, his instincts kicked in, and he managed to dodge the incredibly insidious blow.

Otherwise, if one were to be struck directly by this stick, one would likely suffer a considerable impact.

Just then, Gu De suddenly heard a sound.

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

Upon hearing this sound, Gu De felt a pang of urge to sigh.

They've already dodged it themselves, and only now they're speaking up to warn us. These people's reactions have really slowed down once they get here.

The moment this thought crossed his mind, Gu De suddenly felt the position of his hand holding the vine shift.

Just as I was about to look up, my whole body suddenly tilted uncontrollably.

Gu De quickly looked up and saw that above the vines, another crack in the void had appeared.

At that moment, a long knife was slashing at the end of the vine he was holding.

Meanwhile, the vine at the other end had been severed and was plummeting downwards with him.

Seeing this, even Gu De felt a jolt in his heart. For a moment, he forgot his anger and hurriedly tried to let go of the vines and grab at the other vines around him.

However, he was still a step too slow.

"Brush--"

The long sword slashed through, and the vines snapped in two.

Gu De had intended to use the vines for leverage, not only failed to gain any strength from them, but his body swayed and he immediately fell downwards.

"The Emperor!"

One of the quick-witted attendants immediately let out a cry of surprise.

"Clap!"

With a thud from the ground, Gu De was plunged diagonally into the ground.

A slight coolness touched my legs, and immediately a feeling of heaviness spread through them.

Gu De took a deep breath.

Having come this far over the years, he has experienced enough, so he is not too flustered at this moment.

Given the confinement of the ground, it's true that if one were to fall and there were nowhere around to grab onto, getting back onto the vines would be quite difficult.

It was expected that so many people who fell earlier wouldn't be able to get back up.

But I am not them.

He still has enough capable people under his command.

Although they are currently in a passive position, they can easily use the vines to help them, or even tie their clothes together.

They were pulling themselves up and holding onto the other end; with that, they had every chance.

Furthermore, as long as one doesn't struggle, one will sink slowly, having ample time to deal with the situation.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Gu De had figured these things out.

However, at that moment...

"Swish swish swish!"

On the vines, figures came to their senses, but seemed to lose their focus again, jumping down one after another towards Gu De.

Meanwhile, some people spoke up and shouted.

"Your Majesty, I've come to save you!"

"Your Majesty, I have arrived!"

"Cluck, cluck, cluck"

The sounds of living people falling into the ground rang out one after another around Gu De, and they all jumped with great precision, almost coming from Gu De's direction.

In an instant, Gu De clearly felt that the swamp-like ground he was on suddenly became much more fluid, and the speed of sinking also increased sharply.

"You bunch of idiots!"

"Don't you have a brain?"

Gu De's expression suddenly changed, becoming visibly ugly, and he immediately started cursing.

"Stop fucking jumping!"

If these people hadn't come down, he would have had plenty of time. But now, with their all-encompassing disturbance, half of his body was submerged underground in the blink of an eye.

Right now, even using my legs to exert force feels almost impossible.

The situation is already somewhat precarious.

On the vines above, some people were a little slower than the others, and they immediately stopped after hearing Gu De's voice.

However, the figure that Gu De spoke from the vines had already leaped down, but he was powerless to change his situation.

And so, after some time had passed since Gu De's voice faded, the process of burying the figure finally came to an end.

However, after being subjected to these rounds of impacts, Gu De was now almost buried in the ground, his chest cavity nearly reaching the surface.

The other figures who jumped down behind Gu De were also mostly half-submerged in the ground.

At that moment, arms reached out towards Gu De, his face showing both anxiety and determination.

"Your Majesty, we've come to rescue you!"

"Your Majesty, push harder!"

"Your Majesty, you must continue down this Emperor Road!"

A series of voices rang out beside Gu De, each one resolute and unwavering.

Having followed Gu De for many years, some of the rules had long been internalized, and now they were putting them into practice.

In any case, the life and death of the Emperor is always the most important thing. Even if it means sacrificing oneself, one must do everything in one's power to get the Emperor out of danger.

Now that the Great Emperor is trapped on this ground, what difference does it make if he sacrifices himself?

It's worth it as long as it gets the Emperor out of his predicament.

As for himself?

Having experienced so many years of gaming before, they already knew that the slogan "Eternal Life, Endless Rebirth" was no lie.

He will wake up again soon and start cultivating immortality from scratch.

Nearly 30% of the people remained on the vines, looking down at the crowd below who were now like stars surrounding the moon, trying to pull Gu De up from the ground.

A sense of anxiety suddenly arose in the hearts of these people on the vines.

They weren't afraid of anything else, but they were afraid of being stuck on the vines, seemingly doing nothing.

Anxiety leads to action.

If we don't act now, by the time the Emperor is rescued, there will be no chance to act.

As for whether going down there will kill you?

It doesn't matter. With the Emperor around, how could they possibly die?

At that moment, this group of people, as if they had planned it together, jumped down almost in unison.
