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

The loud roar startled everyone present, and they all shrank back in the opposite direction of the sound.

"What's going on?" someone asked in a panic.

But no one could answer his question. For a moment, everyone's eyes focused on Shen Yuanguo.

At this moment, Shen Yuanguo frowned, his eyes fixed on the direction of the sound: "Someone is attacking the barrier of the Heaven Imprisoning Mirror. It's the military and the Special Abilities Division. It seems like people from the Security and Intelligence Division are also there."

"That's impossible. I specifically arranged for ten Second Forbidden experts on the way up the mountain to kill the humans who came up and prevent them from telling the Special Abilities Division about the barrier. How could this be? Did someone leak the information?"

As he spoke, Horse-Face looked at Shen Yuanguo with suspicion.

"How can you say such ridiculous things without laughing?" Shen Yuanguo glared at Horse-Face with dissatisfaction, then reached for the sealed artifact box.

"What are you doing!" Horse-Face rushed forward and slapped Shen Yuanguo's hand away.

"What do you mean, 'What am I doing?' People are here, so naturally we have to retreat. What's wrong with me taking my New World sealed artifact box?" Shen Yuanguo looked at Horse-Face warily.

"What do you mean by 'New World sealed artifact box'? This was originally an unowned object. Unowned objects should belong to the Underworld. I advise you to put away those thieving thoughts, or don't blame me for turning against you!"

Horse-Face's eyes flashed fiercely as he drew the horizontal blade stuck in the ground.

"How can you have the nerve to say that so righteously? And what qualifications do you have to threaten me? Do you really think I can't beat you?" Seeing this, Shen Yuanguo stopped being polite and revealed the finger tiger on his hand.

"Hmph, very good, then..."

Rumble!

Before Horse-Face could finish speaking, another deafening roar came from the south.

The second roar pulled both of them back to their senses, and the tense atmosphere between them eased somewhat.

"You should also be clear that our strengths are evenly matched. It will take a long time to determine the winner. The Heaven Imprisoning Mirror won't last long. Those people will come in soon, and neither of us will be able to take the sealed artifact box!" Shen Yuanguo said with a serious expression.

"In my eyes, there are only two outcomes: one is that I take the sealed artifact box, and the other is that someone else takes it. I only accept the first one. Give me the sealed artifact box, and I will give you a Mysterious Artifact in the future," Horse-Face said firmly.

Shen Yuanguo gritted his teeth and said, "You give it to me, and I'll give you two Mysterious Artifacts in the future."

"You give it to me, and I'll give you three Mysterious Artifacts in the future." Horse-Face's face didn't turn red, and his heart didn't beat faster. His sincere appearance almost deceived Shen Yuanguo.

"Damn it, you didn't plan to give me anything, did you!"

"It's the same as if you could give me two Mysterious Artifacts."

For a moment, the two fell into a stalemate again.

After a few seconds of silence, Shen Yuanguo sighed and compromised, "How about this? The sealed artifact box is almost at ten thousand. How about we make a bet?"

Horse-Face nodded, "Tell me."

"Let's go to the south and delay them for a while, and let our subordinates quickly unlock the sealed artifact box. If the sealed artifact box contains a Mysterious Artifact with special abilities, it's mine. If it's a knife, spear, or club, it's yours. How about that?" Shen Yuanguo said sternly.

Horse-Face lowered his head and thought for a while, and finally agreed.

After explaining the tasks to their respective subordinates, Horse-Face and Shen Yuanguo jointly rushed to the south, and the ear-piercing sonic boom resounded throughout the top of the mountain.

At the same time, in a hidden alley.

Li Chenqiu placed the disabled Wu Shan next to a pile of garbage and said softly, "Too many people have been taken to the bonfire square by the Resurrected. I'm going to save them, Captain Wu. Just stay here!"

Just as Li Chenqiu was about to get up and leave, Wu Shan grabbed his arm, "It's too dangerous. The more people there are, the more Resurrected there will definitely be. If something happens to you..."

"Captain Wu, the duty of a Chosen One is to protect ordinary people. I can't just watch these Resurrected kill people. I won't be impulsive if it's too dangerous. If there's a chance, I must try," Li Chenqiu pushed away Wu Shan's hand.

"You..." Wu Shan clenched his fist: "I'm not as good as you. Be careful and prioritize your own life!"

Li Chenqiu nodded seriously, turned and ran into the alley.

When Li Chenqiu ran out of the alley and was exposed to the streetlights, a faint arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

In a few breaths, Li Chenqiu's figure appeared hundreds of meters away, disappearing into the vast night.

...

...

On a small hill a few hundred meters away from the bonfire square, a head poked out furtively. This person was none other than Li Qingxia.

When Li Qingxia was with Li Chenqiu earlier, Li Chenqiu had told Li Qingxia everything and asked her to monitor the square from here.

"Ha~" Li Qingxia yawned, rubbed her flowing bangs, and complained, "It's so cold, and he left me here alone. He didn't even find me a blanket."

"It's cold..."

"Ouch, damn!"

The sudden sound startled Li Qingxia, who covered her heart and jumped up.

Li Chenqiu, who was lying on the ground, was dumbfounded and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong? Are there bugs on the ground?"

"You, you, you!" Li Qingxia pointed at Li Chenqiu tremblingly: "Are you pretending to be a ghost? You were lying next to me so quietly, afraid I'd find you?!"

"It's your own slow reaction. Don't blame me. Lie down quickly. Don't let others see you!" Li Chenqiu reached out and patted the ground, signaling Li Qingxia to lie down.

Li Qingxia kicked Li Chenqiu as if she was acting spoiled, and then reluctantly lay down.

"How is it? Hurry up and use your eyes to take a look," Li Chenqiu shook Li Qingxia's arm.

"You really bet right, kid. The two strongest Resurrected went to the south. The sealed artifact box is now at 9892, still missing..." Li Qingxia counted her fingers: "Still missing over a hundred."

"Still need to kill one hundred and eight people," Li Chenqiu said calmly.

Li Qingxia nodded: "Calculated the same as me. It'll be enough when these Resurrected grab another group of people and kill them."

"Are you confused? There are still thirty Resurrected and sixty or seventy ordinary people on the field. After they kill all the ordinary people, I'll kill them all. Wouldn't that be enough for ten thousand?" Li Chenqiu looked at Li Qingxia as if she were an idiot.

"Ah?" Li Qingxia suddenly realized: "I thought we didn't count as people..."

Li Chenqiu was slightly stunned when he heard this, and after a few seconds of silence, he smiled:

"Whether it's the Resurrected or ordinary people, they are all just animals living in this world. The strong eat the weak, and the weak avoid the strong. Only the strong can decide who they are."

Li Chenqiu stood up, lowered his eyes, and looked down at the slaughter in the square.
