60: Monster, no no no, immortal!

“Fall in!”

A rough shout echoed from outside.

The troops were lined up neatly, surrounding the Royal Kitchen, but they did not rush in recklessly.

From some eunuchs’ mouths,

they learned that there were monsters inside, and the captain leading the troops would not rashly allow the Imperial Guards to enter.

“Crossbows ready!”

The people who climbed onto the rooftops all nocked arrows, waiting for the monsters inside to come out.

Seeing that everything was ready, the leader said, “Those inside, come out, or you will be killed without mercy!”

Inside the room.

Even though Gao Yao knew the identities of Chu Mo and Ning Haocheng, his heart couldn't help but panic when he heard the shouts outside.

“Chu Ge, are you going or am I?!”

Ning Haocheng’s face remained calm, but he cautiously cast countless magical shields on the three of them.

There’s a saying: despise the enemy strategically, but respect them tactically.

Even if these people were still using bows and arrows,

Gao Yao, who was beside him, was just an ordinary person now. If he really took an arrow, Ning Haocheng would probably have to turn him into an undead skeleton soldier with tears in his eyes.

Looking at the light blue membrane that appeared in front of him, Gao Yao curiously poked it, and faint ripples spread across its surface.

It was truly magical!

“Can this really block their arrows?” Gao Yao asked.

Ning Haocheng confidently said, “Forget arrows, even if you brought a Gatling gun and sprayed it, my shield wouldn’t even break.”

“It can’t be broken by a Gatling gun? Is that true or false?” Gao Yao reached out and tapped the magic shield, he had never seen anything so magical before.

Could just a thin layer of light blue membrane withstand a Gatling gun’s attack?!

Feeling Gao Yao’s disbelief, Ning Haocheng directly thrust the weapon in his hand in front of him.

“Use this to test.”

“Although this weapon of mine is a staff, it’s quite sturdy, weighing over ten thousand jin.”

“You hold it, swing it hard, and test how solid my magic shield is.”

Staff?

You call this ‘pillar’ a staff?

Although the ‘pillar’ in Ning Haocheng’s hand had a tiny bit of a staff-like shape,

Gao Yao still felt that it didn't look like a staff at all.

When he used to go to internet cafes to help his sister check college applications, the people next to him playing games, the tauren in those games used this kind of weapon.

“Take it.” Ning Haocheng handed over the staff in his hand, indicating friendly that if he didn’t believe it, he could test it himself.

Gao Yao’s face showed a smile uglier than crying, and he declined, “I… I can’t lift it.”

Chu Mo, standing aside, was a bit speechless, “This is a totem pole weighing over ten thousand jin. Even an ordinary orc would struggle to lift this thing of yours. You’re asking an ordinary person to lift it?”

It was then that Ning Haocheng reacted.

“I almost forgot, you are the only non-combatant in the Chat Group now.”

Gao Yao opened his mouth, wanting to speak but stopping himself, his heart churning with stormy waves.

Are everyone in the Chat Group really such monsters? Can just anyone lift a weapon weighing over ten thousand jin?

They’re all Immortals, and I’m the only ordinary person?

Chu Mo was also speechless at Ning Haocheng’s words.

In the entire Chat Group, it seemed only he and Ning Haocheng used this totem pole as a weapon.

What? According to you, all the other Chat Group members have been expelled?

“You two stay inside and have a good chat, especially you, Gao Yao. What you think will determine our next course of action…”

There were currently two policies.

One was to support Gao Yao’s ascension to power.

The second was to let Qin Shi Huang remain in power.

To be honest,

the Qin Shi Huang of this world was quite weak.

He didn’t show much ambition.

Before his death, he still wanted to exchange his empire for the elixir of immortality in Zhao Gao’s hands, but he was tricked.

By the way, the Chat Group member Gao Yao was the future Zhao Gao who would climb to the top step by step.

Their fate ultimately depended on Gao Yao’s own choice.

Stepping out of the door,

Chu Mo saw a general raising his right hand, about to give the order to the surrounding Imperial Guards to shoot arrows.

The other party also saw someone walk out of the Royal Kitchen, and his raised hand clenched into a fist, signaling everyone not to shoot arrows yet.

Then, he stepped forward, looking at Chu Mo with interest, “You are the monster those eunuchs spoke of? I don’t see you having three heads and six arms…”

“However, trespassing into the imperial palace is a capital offense.”

“Breaking into the Royal Kitchen even more so indicates that you might intend to poison the food and assassinate Your Majesty.”

Although the world was unified under Qin,

these Imperial Guards clearly knew that the remnants of the six states always wanted their Your Majesty dead.

The person in front of them was likely a remnant of the six states.

“Take them down.”

“Imprison them and interrogate them strictly.”

The general didn't care about anything else, only ordered the surrounding Imperial Guards to apprehend Chu Mo and his accomplices.

A squad of Imperial Guards menacingly stepped out, about to apprehend Chu Mo in front of them and his accomplices inside.

“Apprehend us? You lot are probably not qualified enough!”

Before Chu Mo could even speak, Ning Haocheng walked out with Gao Yao.

Chu Mo looked at Gao Yao, “You two discussed it so quickly?”

“Yes!” Gao Yao nodded, “I’m not very educated. If you really want me to govern a country, I can’t do it. I feel like just being my Zhao Gao is pretty good.”

Chu Mo looked at him in surprise, then at Ning Haocheng, “You told him? He already knows the future developments?”

Ning Haocheng shrugged, “More or less! I just briefly explained a few things, but this guy’s current awareness is clearly not enough; he’s not as extreme as he will be later.”

Ning Haocheng expressed disappointment that Gao Yao didn’t want to be emperor, but he also respected the individual choices of Chat Group members.

“Alright then!” Chu Mo also expressed support, “If you don’t want to be emperor, I have nothing to say, after all, it’s your own request, but I still want to tell you that strengthening your own power is the most important thing.”

Gao Yao nodded but said nothing more.

Meanwhile, the Imperial Guards in front, hearing the three of them conspiring to rebel and become emperor right in front of them,

were all filled with anger.

However,

the faint blue glow on Ning Haocheng and Gao Yao made them somewhat hesitant.

They all looked towards their general, waiting for his command.

The general gritted his teeth and suddenly waved his hand.

“Shoot!”

“Those who want to harm Your Majesty must die! Even if they are monsters, they must die!”

As soon as he finished speaking,

the surrounding Imperial Guards fiercely shot at the three of them with Great Qin crossbows.

In an instant,

ten thousand arrows flew, raining down like a storm.

But these crossbow arrows were all blocked by the faint blue glow.

Although Chu Mo didn’t have a magical shield, an invisible Qi wall also intercepted the arrows, suspending them in mid-air.

This scene was even more shocking than Ning Haocheng’s magical shield.

“Demonic Spell! It’s definitely a Demonic Spell!”

“Quick, quick, get those alchemists over here to break these monsters’ Demonic Spells!”

This general had already classified the three as monsters, not Immortals.

Because while Chu Mo looked like an Immortal, Ning Haocheng next to him didn’t look like a normal person at all.

What normal person is three meters tall?

And with such bulging muscles, it’s terrifying.

Is this not a monster?

Upon receiving the general’s order, a squad of Imperial Guards was about to leave, but they were knocked down by a sudden gust of wind.

With a casual wave, a Wind Control Spell.

All the Imperial Guards on the scene were caught in it, enveloped by a tornado on the spot, constantly spinning.

“Using Spells against ordinary armies is a complete dimensionality reduction strike.”

Watching these elite palace guards crumble so easily before him, Chu Mo helplessly shook his head, then turned to ask Gao Yao.

“Do you know the location of Qin Shi Huang?”
