Chapter 144

Watching the mysterious person vanish into blue smoke, Su Li fell into deep thought.

Even now, he still could not distinguish whether this mysterious person was friend or foe.

Do not be fooled by the sincerity of the other party, or the fact that they helped them lift the effects of the Star Constellation Earthly Fiend Technique.

There was still one thing the mysterious person did not do right.

The other party lied.

That’s right, they definitely lied.

The mysterious person said they could not directly break the Star Constellation Earthly Fiend Technique.

In Su Li’s view, this was a lie.

They were now already within the Star Constellation Earthly Fiend Technique.

Logically speaking, anyone who entered would be affected.

But this mysterious person was able to approach them without a sound and leave without a sound.

To say nothing else, they must be particularly familiar with the Star Constellation Earthly Fiend Technique; otherwise, it would be impossible to come and go like a ghost within the range of the technique.

Since they were so familiar with it, there was no reason they wouldn't know how to break the Star Constellation Earthly Fiend Technique.

Yet the mysterious person did not do so.

This point alone was enough to show that the mysterious person was not a friend.

If they were a friend, there would be no need to hide things or deliberately hold something back.

But they could not be called an enemy either.

Because if the mysterious person were an enemy, why would they help them remove the stamina-draining effect of the Star Constellation Earthly Fiend Technique?

Was it to gain his trust?

No!

Simply leaving them alone would have sufficed.

Doing this yielded absolutely no benefit.

Therefore, whether they were friend or foe, Su Li truly could not say.

Perhaps only the next time they met would the truth be revealed.

The most urgent matter now was to deal with the enemy attack that would inevitably occur.

As soon as the Star Constellation Earthly Fiend Technique was broken by Ju Shou, the enemy would definitely attack; this was beyond doubt.

At that time, he would likely be the only one standing out.

After all, within the Star Constellation Earthly Fiend Technique, only their unit was able to remain unaffected by the stamina-draining effects of the technique.

Thinking of this.

Su Li ordered Zhao Yu and the Red Blood Cavalry to rest in the camp and not do anything.

Furthermore, they were not to show that they were unaffected; they had to pretend to be like everyone else, with their stamina slowly decreasing.

Only in this way could they catch the enemy off guard when the enemy army attacked.

…………

Soon.

Another night passed.

When they got up the next day.

Everyone discovered that after a night of rest, their stamina had drained once more.

Generals of the level of Liu, Guan, and Zhang were fine; the powerful strength brought by their own martial prowess was enough to let them persist for many days.

But the others were not.

Even Pan Feng and Changshan Governor Deng Song felt weak, unable to exert even 50% of their combat power.

As for the ordinary soldiers under their command, they had the word "powerless" written all over their faces.

Large-scale panic began to spread throughout the entire military camp.

However, having no stamina was also a good thing.

Although everyone was panicked, none of them caused trouble.

Because their own stamina no longer allowed them to do such things as causing trouble.

By the third day.

The stamina consumption of the soldiers in each unit had reached a critical value.

Even the act of picking up their weapons seemed incredibly weak.

They all lay in their respective camps, and no one even went to do things like patrolling.

One could imagine how unimaginable the consequences would be if the Yellow Turbans were to strike now.

However, on the night of the third day, just before dawn.

Ju Shou finally brought good news.

He had finally completed the "Stars Shifting and Heavens Turning" and broken the Star Constellation Earthly Fiend Technique!

But at this time.

Not only were the ordinary soldiers of each unit weak and powerless, but even generals of the level of Liu, Guan, and Zhang had exhaustion written on their faces, as if they had just been through a great battle.

Under these circumstances.

Su Li sensed that a real battle might be coming immediately.

Not only him, but Ju Shou also anticipated that the enemy would take this opportunity to launch an attack.

As early as when he broke the Star Constellation Earthly Fiend Technique, he had ordered each unit to be ready for battle at all times.

Sure enough.

The moment after Ju Shou completed the "Stars Shifting and Heavens Turning".

The surrounding scenery suddenly changed.

The large mountain that had originally blocked their path suddenly disappeared, and a straight, wide road appeared.

It felt quite like parting the clouds to see the sun, or finding a new village after passing through the dark willows and bright flowers.

But...

Was this truly the sun rising for them, truly a new village?

No!

This was perhaps the prelude to the coming storm.

The Earthly Fiend Star Constellation Technique laid down by Zhang Bao was a large-scale technique that could cause all targets within its range to fall into a state of confusion...

And invisibly, it would rapidly drain the targets' stamina.

Even when resting, they could not recover their stamina.

The purpose of laying down such a technique was nothing more than two things.

Either to completely trap and kill this unit of the Han army.

Or to launch a surprise attack the moment the Earthly Fiend Star Constellation Technique was broken!

“Report!”

“General Pan, Strategist Ju, when we went to scout the surrounding terrain!”

“We were suddenly ambushed by the Yellow Turbans! Most of our brothers have already died in battle!”

“Only a few of us brothers managed to hide.”

“We have been searching for you for these past few days!”

“We have finally found you!”

“When I was returning, I saw over a hundred thousand Yellow Turbans charging toward the camp!”

Not long after, a blood-covered soldier NPC suddenly ran back into the camp; it was the scout Ju Shou had sent out earlier to scout.

“Generals, the enemy should be attacking immediately!”

“Please have your troops pull themselves together and meet the enemy, meet the enemy!”

Ju Shou did not need the scout to report; he had already guessed that the enemy would attack at this time and immediately ordered each unit to be on high alert.

“Weng...”

“Weng...”

“Weng...”

The sound of bugles from the connected camps suddenly rang out across the land.

“Finally...”

“It’s here!”

Su Li, who had long anticipated this, also let out a long breath of stale air, his eyes turning sharp, and the aura radiating from his body climbing step by step.

A few days ago, it was supposed to be a surprise attack.

As it turned out, it had evolved into them being the passive side.

Sure enough, the three great giants of the Yellow Turbans.

None of them were simple characters!
