My father has the appearance of an emperor

Chapter 156 A way out
Li Chengsi didn't say much.

He is like a transparent person in the crowd.

But only Jiang Chen and Bai Feifei understood that once this kid spoke, he was usually not wrong.

At this moment, both of them looked at Li Chengsi at the same time.

Bai Feifei said softly: "Cheng Si, why do you think it's impossible?"

Li Chengsi huddled in the corner, staring at the ground in a daze.

He murmured, "It's just a feeling."

Dexter roared: "Hey, kid, if you want to talk about intuition, I have it too. My intuition right now is that you are a piece of crap and everything..."

click!
Jiang Chen pinched his throat: "You talk less, it will be better for everyone! Understand?"

Dicket was pinched by him so hard that he couldn't breathe, and stared at Jiang Chen with wide eyes.

Damn bastard!
asshole!

You actually do this to me, your employer, time and time again!

When I get out, I will ask my mother to find someone to teach you a lesson!
Letting go of Dicket's neck, Jiang Chen clapped his hands.

He squatted beside Li Chengsi: "Then continue to feel it."

Li Chengsi's eyes turned slightly white, as if he sensed something.

He whispered, "If we escape early and fail to stop the summoning ceremony, how can the ceremony proceed without the summoning of the sacrifice?"

Ok?
Jiang Chen was stunned.

Yup!

Just as Li Chengsi said, what if we escaped before the ritual was completed?
There are no sacrifices anymore, is there any point in not stopping this summoning ritual?

In other words, even without the sacrifice from the recipient, the summoning ceremony should be able to continue!
Ai Bo wondered, "What does this have to do with our current situation?"

Li Chengsi lowered his head again: "I don't know, I just raised a question. I am a natural argumentative person, I am only responsible for arguing, not answering."

Ai Bo: “…”

Jiang Chen was happy.

He chuckled. "Well, but it was a great one!"

Jiang Chen really didn't expect that this kid could even argue about the content of the mission.

But he did give Jiang Chen some hope in his thinking.

He stood up and murmured, "There must be other sacrifices!"

Bai Feifei's eyes lit up: "Other sacrifices?"

"Yes!" Jiang Chen was very sure: "Demons can only be summoned by offering sacrifices. The ordained people are the best sacrifices, but they cannot be the only sacrifices. Considering the needs of the chaotic world, the ordained people cannot die in large numbers. The purpose of those cultists summoning the ordained people is not to let us all die here, but that every death can enhance the effect of the summoning."

Because he obtained the Asbilot Oracle, Jiang Chen is now certain that the strength of the summoned demon is related to the sacrifice.

Bai Feifei also understood: "Their rules may not allow them to kill us personally? So they created a situation where we killed each other. It's either because they don't have enough strength or because of the restrictions of the rules."

Jiang Chen nodded: "Special requirements are mostly beneficial to the recipients. The reason they don't let us disrupt the ceremony may not be because they are afraid that we will destroy it, but because they are afraid that we will die! The rules may have given them the right to self-defense and counterattack... The life forms in the chaotic world are very powerful. You can see level 6 and 7 beings just walking on the street. Even if the concept of level is different, there must be a lot of masters who are stronger than us. There must be a lot of powerful people in an underground sect like this. If we try to stop it, we will die. That's why the mission warns us not to do that!"

Dicket couldn't hold back again: "Everything you are discussing now won't help us get out of this damn maze!"

This time even Bai Feifei couldn't stand this idiot anymore.

She looked at Dexter, flipping the secret book of evil spells in her hand, and whispered: "Bang your head against the wall a hundred times!"

As he chanted, Dicket's eyes gradually lost focus.

He walked silently to the side of the mountain wall, and then began to hit the wall again and again. The mustache man was surprised: "Wow, very powerful mental control."

"He is too weak. He has absolutely no self-control." Bai Feifei replied coldly.

Jiang Chen continued to analyze: "If the purpose of the mission forcing us to stop the ceremony is the same as what we judged before, that is, to protect us, then in a sense, as long as we have the strength, we can still stop the ceremony. Can we understand it this way?"

Everyone nodded together.

Violating special requirements is different from violating tasks. There will be no punishment for the former. At best, it will make it more difficult to complete the task.

So there is no problem in violating it appropriately.

The mustache looked at Jiang Chen in surprise: "You are not really going to stop the ceremony?"

I certainly have no intention of stopping the ritual, the problem is that my special mission is to bring greater power to that demon lord.

In this case, things would be much easier if we could weaken the demon lord while ensuring that we complete our special mission.

Jiang Chen said: "Don't we have to kill them to stop the ceremony, such as destroying the other sacrifices?"

The man with a mustache understood what he meant.

Since there are other offerings besides the person taking the vows, destroying them or taking them away is precisely a way to weaken the ritual.

The mustache spread his hands: "Well, I want to go back to the question about the guy who hit his head against the wall. We may have seen how to proceed with the third step, but how do we solve the problem of this step now?"

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes and thought: "Return to the ground... Our mission is to return to the ground, which means we are underground, so should we go up?"

Ok?
Everyone was stunned.

Jiang Chen was already looking towards the mountain wall above his head.

Then he laughed: "We are always looking for a way, but the road may not be smooth!"

"Oh, damn!" Ai Bo suddenly realized.

He shouted, "Look up! See if there is a path on the cliff above! Look up! Look up!!!"

His violent shouts echoed wildly in the maze at the bottom of the mountain and soon spread in all directions.

All the people receiving the precepts heard it, and they all woke up at the same time and looked upwards.

Some of the more agile people who were taking the precepts even clung to the top of the mountain like lizards, constantly knocking with their hands, and all kinds of knocking sounds were heard in the maze.

Dicket on this side finally completed the hundred times of hitting the wall. With a bruise on his head, he looked at Bai Feifei in horror and dared not to stab again.

This couple of dogs really don’t treat the boss as their boss!
About half an hour later, someone started shouting, "Found it! There's a cave entrance! Come here!"

Hearing the sound, everyone ran towards the source.

Fortunately, after two hours of searching, everyone was more or less familiar with the maze here. They gradually came to the person who was shouting. When they shone a flashlight upwards, they saw a dark hole leading upwards, with no end in sight.

A short ordained person said with a smug smile: "I found it."

Unfortunately, instead of thanking him, everyone asked, "Who reminded us to look at the top?"

The mustache man smiled slightly: "I did, but he was the one who discovered the problem."

He pointed at Jiang Chen and tactfully did not attack.

Everyone's eyes fell on Jiang Chen at the same time.

One of the ordained people said with a smile, "It's you again. Since you performed well this time, I won't hold it against you for what happened before."

Jiang Chen shook his head gently: "You sound as if you have the right to argue with me."

The person receiving the precepts instantly became angry again and glared at him fiercely: "You will know whether I am qualified or not."
