Who wants to become a god? Aren't you all forcing me?

#151 - Chapter 151 Waves

Because of this, Li Chenqiu allowed the ordinary people to board the vulture soul soldiers first and escape. His purpose was to test the pair of eyes hidden in the dark.

Like fishing, if you want to gain something, you must offer some unimportant bait.

After hearing Li Chenqiu's words, the ordinary people who had escaped from the snake's belly were overjoyed and hurriedly ran towards the vulture soul soldiers, fearing that there wouldn't be any space if they were late.

"Hurry, hurry, let's sit at the front!"

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze. There are so many big birds, how could there be no space? Don't..."

"This Li Chenqiu is really a good person, covering our retreat first."

"Of course, he has to cover our retreat. They are the Chosen Ones, so of course they have to protect ordinary people."

"That's right, these students will definitely go to the official federal organizations after they graduate. We'll have to support them then, so this is what they should do."

The ordinary people couldn't hide their excitement as they ran and talked.

In contrast, the students who were left behind were silent, standing blankly in place, only able to watch more and more people climb onto the bodies of the vulture soul soldiers.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people on the field, someone finally couldn't suppress the fear in their heart and ran towards the vulture soul soldiers.

"What are you doing?" Qi Mingyue grabbed the person's hand.

"Get out of here, don't pull my arm!" The person shouted loudly.

Qi Mingyue frowned and said, "Li Chenqiu said to let the ordinary people go first. We might have other things to do."

"I'll do your mom's mission. The walls are cracked like this. If it collapses and I get crushed to death, can Li Chenqiu take responsibility for that?"

The person shook off Qi Mingyue's arm and ran towards the nearest vulture soul soldier.

Although what this person said was unpleasant, it did speak to the hearts of many people.

Those who were already hesitant saw someone take the lead and rushed out of the crowd towards the vulture soul soldiers.

Ma Qingshan and the others at the head just watched silently.

There was nothing wrong with wanting to live, and they had no reason to loudly say "no" to others.

"Hehehe, they all~ran~away~" Zhang Zhixing clapped his hands and laughed foolishly.

Li Chenqiu lowered his eyes and looked down. When he saw students running towards the soul soldiers, he didn't say anything to stop them.

Since they were in such a hurry to be bait, then so be it. He was worried that the bait wasn't big enough.

Under the urging of death, the field quickly emptied, and the bodies of the dozen or so vulture soul soldiers were densely packed with people.

"Hold on tight," Li Chenqiu reminded.

As soon as he finished speaking, the vulture soul soldiers flapped their wings and flew steadily into the sky, slowly flying towards the other end of the tunnel. To prevent anyone from falling, the soul soldiers flew extremely slowly.

Li Chenqiu watched the backs of the departing crowd, and didn't move his gaze for a long time.

Looking at the soul soldiers flying further and further away, Li Chenqiu raised his eyebrows: "Is everything alright?"

Just as he was about to move his gaze away, a sound like the rising and falling of sea waves sounded from afar.

"Hmm?"

Li Chenqiu let out a light sound of doubt, and turned his head to look in the direction everyone was leaving, following the sound.

In the distance, the people sitting on the soul soldiers pricked up their ears and looked around timidly.

"What is this sound?"

"It feels... a bit like the sound of sea waves!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could there be sea waves in this kind of place? Are you scared silly!"

"It does feel a bit like it. Never mind, anyway, Li Chenqiu and the others are covering the rear. If there's trouble, they'll be the first to suffer."

...

The crowd discussed, but obviously no one took it to heart.

It was at this moment that a sudden change occurred.

The ground that the soul soldiers flew over rippled like the shimmering surface of the sea, and as time passed, it intensified.

Just as the soul soldier at the front was about to turn a corner and disappear from Li Chenqiu's sight, a terrifying roar came from the ground.

The next second, a wave of mud condensed and rose into the sky, smashing the soul soldier like a giant hand with a "bang". Before those on its back could even scream, they were submerged in the mud.

Those following behind were so frightened by this scene that they collapsed to the ground, staring in horror at those who were swallowed by the mud.

"Ahhh--"

"Help!!!"

"Li Chenqiu, save us!"

Sharp, ear-piercing screams echoed in the empty tunnel, but it was too late.

Dozens of earth waves struck from all directions, instantly silencing all the noise.

"This... how could this be?" Li Chenqiu widened his eyes, feigning a look of complete surprise.

On the ground, the less than one hundred students also widened their eyes, staring blankly at the earth waves in the distance.

"What... what is that?" Ma Qingshan's pupils contracted.

"Could it be that a Resurgent wants to use external force to fight us," Hua Qiu's eyes flashed with a strange light.

"Ah~ ah~ ah, we're doomed, we're going to~die~, hehehe!"

Li Chenqiu was the first to react. With a thought, a few wisps of black smoke fell to the ground and transformed into several soul soldiers.

Li Chenqiu shouted sharply, "Everyone, get on!"

"Get on... won't getting on be like those people, becoming sitting ducks?" Someone questioned.

Li Chenqiu looked coldly at that person: "Those who are willing to come up, come up. I won't force anyone."

"Are you going to stand on the ground and wait for death?" Qi Mingyue cursed angrily, and was the first to jump onto the back of a vulture soul soldier.

Immediately afterwards, Hua Qiu, Ma Qingshan, Zhang Zhixing, Zhou Qinshu, Xiang Nanzhi...

More and more people jumped or climbed, rushing towards the backs of the vulture soul soldiers.

Only a few people remained standing on the ground, hesitating whether or not to go up.

"Should we go up?"

"Is this Li Chenqiu stupid? With the example of what happened to the others right in front of us, he still wants to go into the air. Does he even have a brain!"

"Why don't we go up? Following him, I feel like we can..."

Before the person could finish speaking, the ground beneath his feet rippled like the surface of the sea.

"Not good, we can't stay on the ground, let's get up quickly!" The leading young man shouted loudly.

But Li Chenqiu wouldn't give them a second chance.

After noticing the abnormality on the ground, Li Chenqiu moved his mind, and the vulture soul soldiers flapped their wings and quickly soared into the air, flying to a high altitude.

"Li Chenqiu, what are you doing? We haven't gotten on yet!"

Li Chenqiu didn't speak, or even look at them.

"Bastard, are you abandoning us?!"

"Li Chenqiu, we're from the same academy! How can you stand by and watch us die?!"

"Put down another one..."

Whoosh—

Black earth waves surged up from the ground, slamming towards the direction where Li Chenqiu and the others were.

"Ember!"

Li Chenqiu raised his hand and flicked it, and Ember, which was four meters long, tore through the black mist and appeared in his hand.

Facing the tens of meters high earth waves, Li Chenqiu didn't dodge or evade. He leaped in front of everyone, holding the scythe and slashing forward.

Bang!

Visible ripples spread out, and the people hiding behind Li Chenqiu hurriedly squatted on the ground, resisting the oncoming strong wind.

Along with a "hiss" sound, the earth waves, like soft silk ribbons, were split in half by Li Chenqiu from the middle, and pushed to both sides.

For a time, dust filled the sky...
