He remained calm on the surface and let his son hold the torch while he himself took the instruction, unfolded it, and read it carefully again. When he saw it, he pointed to one of the places and asked:
"Priest, what do you think is going on here?"
The priest was very old and could not see clearly under the firelight. He took out a pair of reading glasses from his chest and put them on his nose, then moved closer to see what Li Shibai was referring to.
But as soon as he took the scroll, he felt a chill in his chest.
Li Shibai held a sharp blade and pierced his chest directly, killing him with one move!
Blood burst out from his chest and sprayed onto the back of the decree, staining the entire scroll red.
Li Renqing on the side was shocked, his eyes were wide open, his eyes were dull, and his hands and feet were trembling as he watched his father's crazy behavior.
Li Shibai pulled out the sharp blade in his hand. This is not a sword or a dagger, but a mantis arm dismembered from a mantis man.
He raised his eyes and looked at his son with disdain, then stabbed the priest a few more times with the mantis arm in his hand and cut him into several pieces.
"Now that the Holy See has fallen, I have to do this as a last resort."
He said as he cut.
"One day in the future, I will reorganize the Holy See, completely get rid of these useless guys, and replace them with capable and obedient young people.
“The goddess will know that what I do is the right thing to do.
"But my lifespan is limited. I am older now and will have to retire sooner or later.
"The future depends on you, you know? Don't look like a fucking coward."
He hit his son on the head with his bloody mantis arm. Li Renqing nodded desperately, but stammered and couldn't say a word.
Li Shibai threw the bloody scroll and the mantis arm to his son.
“Burn the fatwas and don’t say you’ve seen it.
“Go get some mantis corpses and dump them here.
"Then he used a raven and a fast horse to report to the Holy See at the same time, saying that the rear was attacked by mantis people and a priest was killed.
"understand?"
"Got it! Got it!"
Li Renqing nodded repeatedly.
"As for me, I am not here. I set out a quarter of an hour ago with ten thousand horsemen.
"You have never seen that decree, so it is even less likely that I will see it."
"but,"
Although Li Renqing didn't want to question his father, he still felt that he should express his worries.
"If they have reached an armistice agreement and we violate it..."
In theory, the party who actively violates the agreement will obviously bear the greatest liability.
"Fool!"
Li Shibai almost wondered how he could give birth to such an idiot son.
"Since the Mantis people signed a one-day truce agreement, they will inevitably neglect their precautions during this day.
“My light cavalry troops caught them off guard, and to them it was like a divine weapon descending from heaven!
"By the time they are held accountable for breach of contract, they have already been wiped out by me. What the hell are you still holding me accountable for?"
The prerequisite for taking responsibility is defeat. The winner never has to bear any responsibility.
"It turns out...it turns out to be...like this."
Li Renqing stammered in response.
"Just sit back and wait until I come back from the mountain of corpses!"
"As you command!"
Li Shibai threw away his things and his son, mounted his horse, and went straight to his large army.
After a while, under the cover of night, ten thousand cavalrymen, like hurried marching ants, began to march towards the corpse wasteland!
Shrouded in darkness and volcanic ash, the eruption of the mountain of corpses was like the rhythmic heartbeat of a resurrected giant beast.
This feeling makes the whole world feel depressed.
It looked like there was fog all around, but it was actually black smoke erupting from the crater. Coupled with the darkness, Meng Fei found that almost no one could be seen across the wasteland where he and Luo An were.
From sunset to late night, Luo An and Meng Fei stayed in the wilderness.
Meng Fei has already listened to Luo An's story about the past events that happened here a thousand years ago. Of course, this is what Luo An has experienced.
He guessed that Luo An actually died in the process, and later Qingmang resurrected him and reached an agreement with him to enslave him for a thousand years.
So Roan's experience here is incomplete, with many key gaps in between.
But for Meng Fei, these vacancies are not a big problem. He could have gone through it himself. Even if you fail to complete the task, it will cause the time spiral to reset back to the first day. At that time, just follow the same pattern and come here and start over again.
What is really annoying is the Taotie clone who may be wandering in the wasteland, who may change history at any time, who comes from outside the time and space spiral and has divine memories.
So Luo An has waited until now. When the "breath of death" enveloped the entire wasteland, both vision and brain waves were isolated by volcanic smoke. Unless they happen to meet them by chance, no one will be able to attack them half-heartedly.
And they don't get lost. Because the mountain of corpses has been making a roaring sound like a heartbeat. Following the sound, or simply looking in the direction where the smoke and dust were getting thicker, it would be absolutely no problem for them to reach the mountain of corpses.
Thousands of years ago, Luo An was ordered by King Mantis to kidnap He Ma in southern Qingmang and take him to Corpse Mountain. They must follow the history of thousands of years ago to push the plot in the right direction.
Not only is it dense with dust and smoke, but the air is filled with the smell of gas, which is getting more and more pungent.
"I finally understand why you mantis people like to cover your face with a piece of cloth."
Meng Fei tore off a large piece of cloth from his clothes, poured water from the water bag and poured it on it, then covered his mouth and nose, and tied a knot at the back of his neck. This finally made me feel a little more comfortable.
Under Meng Fei's provocation, Luo An, who usually spoke little, made an unprecedented rebuttal.
"First, I am no longer a mantis man.
"Secondly, even among the Mantis tribe, only unmarried women have their faces covered."
In the past, in the Death God Empire in Middle-earth, not only the Mantis people, but also all unmarried women had their faces covered.
The name of Mantis Software was not chosen by Luo An. But Xuannv, who became his teacher in name, took it by deliberately making fun of him and disgusting him.
It's been a long time since he thought of himself as a Mantis. His sense of identification with this species disappeared thousands of years ago.
If he had anything left for this race that tied up his women and dedicated them to the gods, maybe it was utter hatred?
But after a thousand years, this race has been wiped out without a trace, not even a history has been left, so his hatred has nowhere to rest.
"It seems you still haven't said who the woman you want to resurrect is?"
Meng Fei then remembered that Luo An almost didn't mention any details about the woman.
The basis of his cooperation with Luo An is that he wants to kill the Taotie who will be born here. And Luo An wants to resurrect that woman.
If you want the two of them to really work together, they have to combine the two tasks into one: kill Taotie and resurrect his woman.
"Her name is Qi Mei."
