Chapter 140: Saved, But Not Completely Saved

"A sand table? You understand military strategy?" Looking at the model Xie Xiaoxiao built, Ye Lin was somewhat surprised.

"My grandfather taught me a little."

Xie Xiaoxiao nodded seriously. When her fingers slid gently over the mud, her entire temperament became sharp.

She drew in detail the terrain of Realm No. 79, marking every road, every mountain peak, every river, and even the location of every tree.

Even Ye Lin had to admire Xie Xiaoxiao's powerful memory for terrain.

Staring at the model of Realm No. 79 reduced countless times in front of her, Xie Xiaoxiao sometimes frowned in thought, sometimes her eyes lit up.

"Got it! Everyone come over!"

Xie Xiaoxiao spoke, and the many professionals who had long been curious gathered around.

"Look here, this is our starting point," Xie Xiaoxiao pointed to a plain on the model.

"And here is the exit. There will be at least fifteen Demon Clan members guarding the exit, and now there will only be more!"

Her finger drew an arc in the air and landed at the exit position.

"We still have to split into two paths, but this time, it's not sacrificing the seriously injured to buy a chance for others to live, but letting those with combat power fight to buy a chance for the seriously injured to live!"

"To facilitate distinction, I call the two teams Team A and Team B. Team A takes this route and is responsible for attracting the attention of the Demon Clan."

"So Team A doesn't need too many people, one hundred is enough. But the people in Team A must be warrior or assassin professions, no mages! Mages are too slow!"

Hearing Xie Xiaoxiao's words, many mages breathed a sigh of relief. The danger of going to Team A was clearly much greater than going to Team B.

Xie Xiaoxiao ignored their little schemes and continued.

"Mages and the seriously injured are all assigned to Team B. After the people in Team A attract some of the Demon Clan, you will go from here, bypassing to the side of the exit!"

Xie Xiaoxiao's finger drew a tortuous route on the model, as if an invisible battle team was crossing heavy obstacles under her command.

"After arriving at this position, it's time for you mages to exert your advantage of standing and outputting! Your task is not light either. You need to solve the remaining Demon Clan members at the exit, and then meet Team A to arrive at the exit. People from both teams will go out together."

"Do you understand?"

Xie Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, her heart was also extremely nervous at this moment.

Because this was her first time applying what she had learned to an actual battlefield. If something went wrong, the price to be paid would be human lives!

Many professionals nodded, indicating that they understood.

Xie Xiaoxiao's method was actually similar to Wu Hao's, but it didn't use the seriously injured as tools, and there were many more details, making it more feasible to execute.

"Good, then who is willing to come to Team A now? Team A is indeed more dangerous, so I won't force you. I will act as the captain of Team A myself," Xie Xiaoxiao said seriously.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Xie Xiaoxiao finished speaking, many professionals looked at each other, and no one had any intention of standing out, contrary to their enthusiastic attitude just now.

After all, entering Team A meant one's life was in the hands of others. If the people in Team B solved the Demon Clan members at the exit and then fled separately, then the people in Team A would have no one to meet them and would be dead for sure.

"I'll come!" Ye Lin walked toward Xie Xiaoxiao first.

"No! You have injuries on your body! You go to Team B!" Xie Xiaoxiao was suddenly anxious.

"So what if I have injuries? Having injuries doesn't mean I can't fight! I'll come too!"

"Take me with you!"

"And me, as long as my husband can live!"

"Silly, we die together, how could my husband live alone?"

Four figures staggered toward Xie Xiaoxiao; they were the few professionals whose hand and foot tendons had been severed by Wu Hao just now.

After simple treatment, they could barely stand up, and now they joined Team A without hesitation.

"You......" Xie Xiaoxiao was surprised.

At this moment, there were only six people in Team A. Except for Xie Xiaoxiao, the other five were all seriously injured.

This scene touched many people, and soon more professionals gritted their teeth and joined Team A.

However, in the end, the number of people in Team A was only fifty-something, a full half less than the one hundred Xie Xiaoxiao had expected.

You must know that the professionals here, even excluding the seriously injured, were a full seven or eight hundred. But now, they couldn't even gather one hundred people.

Xie Xiaoxiao couldn't help but be somewhat disappointed. She had tried her best to let as many people as possible live and go out, but more people seemed to only care about whether they could live.

"Forget it."

Xie Xiaoxiao shook her head, and her gaze became firm again. It was written in books: do good deeds, don't ask about the future!

Fifty-something people were actually enough.

"Since no one wants to join Team A anymore, then we will act according to the original plan!"

After saying that, Xie Xiaoxiao took Team A and set off along the original route, preparing to attract the attention of the Demon Clan.

The professionals who stayed behind all breathed a sigh of relief. They were afraid that Xie Xiaoxiao would forcibly pull people into Team A.

Seeing Xie Xiaoxiao leave just like that, they couldn't help but get excited.

"Great, met a silly girl!"

"Yeah, hahahahaha, this silly girl is too easy to fool. She actually took it seriously when we praised her a couple of times?"

"And thanks to this silly girl, otherwise how would we have the chance to escape this damn place?"

"Then what should we do next? Should we really listen to that girl and bring these burdens along?" Someone pointed to those seriously injured who were already unable to move.

"Bring them, my ass! Leave these people here to fend for themselves. We'll follow the route she pointed out and break through directly once she draws the Demon Clan away! Who cares if they live or die! A girl this silly deserves to die!"

"Brother's words make sense, hahahahaha!"

The professionals who stayed behind left all the seriously injured behind, then traveled light and started approaching the exit quickly according to the route Xie Xiaoxiao had just pointed out.

Those seriously injured could only watch this scene helplessly.

Without others to protect them, these seriously injured could only stay in place and wait for death in despair. Soon, a demonic creature found its way along the smell of blood. It was a scavenger, emitting a foul corpse odor.

It ate rotten meat and also ate prey that couldn't move.

Clearly, all these seriously injured would become its staple food.

It crawled in front of a seriously injured person, then opened its blood-red mouth, wanting to swallow them in one bite.

That seriously injured person was scared deathly pale. Just when he thought he was about to be chewed up and swallowed into the stomach, a cold voice rang out.

"Forbidden Spell—Karma Fire Burning Heaven!"

A mass of purple-red, eerie flames burned intensely. In the blink of an eye, that scavenger was burned into fly ash.

A man appeared in front of everyone. His face was like it had been carved by a knife, covered in traces of knife cuts, and his features couldn't be seen clearly at all.

Under normal circumstances, seeing such a person, everyone's first reaction would definitely be terror, but at this moment, there was only gratitude in everyone's eyes.

They were saved!

Just when they were holding this thought and secretly happy, they didn't notice that this knife-scarred man was looking at all of them with a pair of extremely affectionate eyes.
