377 Rescue! (1/2)
Wang Baole had two options before him. He could wait for the Governor to arrive, or he could… make haste and mount an immediate rescue. There was no need to deliberate further. Once he found out that Kong Dao and his team were in a life or death situation, he couldn't find it in himself to leave them to die.
He didn't hesitate. He immediately maneuvered his mosquitoes, and they dashed into the horde of beasts surrounding Kong Dao and team. At the same time, Wang Baole opened his mouth and said inside the command center.
”Mount a rescue!”
As soon as he said that, the military cultivators erupted. Their cultivation surged, and they rushed towards the sealed catacombs without hesitation. Wang Baole barked an order, and Lin Tianhao and Jin Duoming immediately issued commands and gathered their servants, joining the rescue party.
Wang Baole could choose not to enter the catacombs, but if he did that, the others wouldn't be able to determine Kong Dao's exact location. They wouldn't be able to find Kong Dao immediately when they entered the catacombs.
Wang Baole didn't want others to know he had the mosquitoes and was able to rely on their vision. He was silent for a few moments. Then, he gritted his teeth and personally led the team into the catacombs!
”Mayor!” Lin Tianhao and Jin Duoming were stunned. They saw Wang Baole dash out hastily from the command center and straight into the region of the sealed Divine Armament Catacombs. The array formation erupted and exterminated numerous beasts. An opening presented itself then, and Wang Baole and the thousands of military cultivators charged into the catacombs.
The sight of Wang Baole charging into the catacombs didn't only shock Lin Tianhao and Jin Duoming. It also moved the military cultivators. They started seeing Wang Baole in a different light. There was no need for words as they quickly gathered around Wang Baole in a protective cluster as they descended into the catacombs in a rush.
Lin Tianhao took a few deep breaths. His eyes were slightly red, colored by uncertainty. Eventually, he gritted his teeth and charged in as well. At his side, Jin Duoming grimaced. He didn't hesitate too long before he also entered the catacombs with his army of guards.
An army of more than ten thousand people rushed in, rumbling, and fought their way through the Beast Tide. Even more cultivators who had received their orders rushed over from all directions and entered the catacombs as well. The flow of cultivators into the catacombs was ceaseless.
Li Yi had rushed over by then, but she frowned at the sight and sneered.
Fools! She was clearly disdainful of their actions. It was clear she wouldn't choose to enter the catacombs. She clearly felt it a losing bargain to risk so many lives in order to save a few.
As a vice mayor, it wasn't right for her to enter as well. She viewed the actions of Wang Baole and the rest as irresponsible and immature.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
At that thought, a flicker flashed across Li Yi's eyes as she stood inside the command center. A thought arose in her mind…
If Wang Baole perishes inside, I'll naturally become the mayor…
As Li Yi was deep in thought, inside the Divine Armament Catacombs, tens of thousands of cultivators began their furious extermination and rescue efforts under the leadership of Wang Baole, Lin Tianhao, and Jin Duoming.
The influence of the array formation was present inside the catacombs, but it was severely weakened. This meant that the array formation couldn't provide that much help. Fortunately, many of the beasts had already been killed. In addition, under Wang Baole's leadership, the party was able to progress steadily without any breaks or delays. They were like a torrent of waves sweeping through the catacombs, rumbling and thundering, pulling everything that stood in their path under.
Howls continued thundering throughout the slaughterings and collisions. Shrieks of pain pierced the air. The beasts grew fewer in numbers. The ceaseless killings brought them deeper into the catacombs until they reached its middle segment. They weren't far from where Kong Dao and his party stood, fighting for their survival.
It was then that a sudden howl thundered from the end of the catacombs. It rang out suddenly, and as it resounded in the catacombs, a sudden chill exploded.
It was a strange chill like winter had suddenly descended—a layer of ice formed on the walls all around them. The cultivators who were mounting the rescue started to shudder violently. Alarm and shock flashed across their faces. It was as if an invisible force had descended alongside the chill and was eating into their bodies, assimilating them, and making them part of the catacombs.
