Chapter 1288: Chapter 1288: Making an Enemy

Lu Yi showed a puzzled expression, "A single artificial intelligence holds such grudges, I bet your creator was a narrow-minded person."

It seemed to hit a sore spot, as the artificial intelligence Xiaolan gave Lu Yi a cold look.

Soon all the statues had been knocked down, and it finally felt safe around them. Gu Fan called everyone to leave quickly, who knew when the next killing array might arrive.

"Goodbye, small-minded artificial beauty. Although you have a bad temper, I choose to forgive you, haha." Lu Yi laughed arrogantly as he left, which infuriated the artificial intelligence Xiaolan to stomp her foot.

Ouyang Jin quietly warned, "Bro, we haven’t escaped yet, be careful she targets you."

"That..." Lu Yi scratched his head, feeling his arrogance might have been excessive, just as he was about to apologize, sudden upheaval occurred on the ground.

Those statues lying on the ground were not supposed to stand up, but a section of the ground actually lifted, elevating the statues, akin to lying on a bed that stands upright, raising you up as well.

"No way, can you be this unfair?" Lu Yi was embarrassed; he had just walked over several statues, and then these statues stood up, trapping him in the middle.

Screams surrounded them, with many being beaten bloody by the statues, and some fared even worse.

Everyone thought the statues posed no threat after falling down and walked over them, thinking as long as they weren’t caught by the statues’ hands, there would be no problem; but no one expected this development.

Now the statues had stood up again, and everyone, caught off guard, was in close proximity to them.

Not to mention others, even Gu Fan took several hits from the statues, and the heavy blows told him that they needed to deal with these statues directly to move forward.

"Sorry, but I’m not going to let you leave alive, especially you." Xiaolan glared fiercely at Lu Yi, scaring him into trembling a bit.

Now four statues trapped Lu Yi in the middle, their fists raised high, just waiting for the command to strike at Lu Yi’s head.

The artificial intelligence Xiaolan walked over slowly, enjoying Lu Yi’s frightened expression, "How about it, give me another arrogant look."

Lu Yi tried to force a smile, "Sorry, artificial beauty, I was rude just now. I apologize to you. Seeing how well we get along and that we clicked, please forgive me this once."

"Hahaha..." Now it was Xiaolan’s turn to laugh arrogantly, as if declaring victory.

Lu Yi then said, "Artificial beauty, seeing how happy and beautiful you laugh, you must have forgiven me."

"Yes, after I kill you, I will naturally forgive you." Xiaolan was about to give the order, suddenly Lu Yi shouted, "Wait, I still have a last word, can I say it?"

"You talk too much!" Xiaolan lost patience and directly ordered the statues to attack.

Seeing four fists, hard as stone, about to smash down, Lu Yi closed his eyes, but unexpectedly, something extraordinary happened.

Due to limited space, the four fists collided with each other, and the impact shattered all four stone fists, leaving only rubble falling on Lu Yi’s head, causing a bit of bleeding.

"I’m still alive, my luck can’t be this good, who dares call me a doomsayer from now on." Lu Yi was exhilarated, and then something even more unexpected happened.

The four statues colliding created a powerful shock, slightly destabilizing them. One statue fell, immediately creating a gap in the encirclement.

"Bye-bye, you there!" Seeing his chance, Lu Yi quickly made his escape, infuriating Xiaolan who stomped her foot, "You bunch of useless rocks, catch that jerk and rub him on the ground."

The other three statues tried to catch up with the first one, but they were too slow and clumsy, and the already fallen statue tripped them up, making it impossible to follow.

At that time, Lu Yi couldn’t help but make faces at Xiaolan, showing a ’what can you do to me?’ expression.

That nearly drove Xiaolan mad with rage, so she issued this command—have all statues attack Lu Yi, let the others go, but not Lu Yi.

"What?" Lu Yi hadn’t expected this, now regretting having offended Xiaolan.

At the same moment, the statues received their orders, allowing the mercenaries to escape and turning to block and chase after Lu Yi.

Suddenly, the crisis focused entirely on Lu Yi’s side, leaving the mercenaries looking at each other, unsure of what to do.

Gu Fan yelled, "What are you guys doing standing around, get moving, leave this place to me!"

Hearing this, General Horton led the mercenaries in another direction. Now without the statues blocking them, their retreat was unimpeded.

Irina and the Hunter’s Guild did not leave because Irina had chosen to stay with Gu Fan, so the Guild stayed to help.

At this moment, all the statues were chasing Lu Yi. Although they moved slowly, their numbers were large, squeezing the space and leaving little room for Lu Yi to escape.

"My heavens, is it necessary to be this excessive?" Lu Yi frantically scrambled within the limited space, his voice reflecting his dire predicament.

Ouyang Jin unkindly took this moment to explain to the Hunter’s Guild, "See, this is what happens when you offend a woman, this is what happens when you don’t behave."

The Hunter’s Guild pondered this as it made some sense to them.

Gu Fan was anxious; he tried to break through several times, but the sheer number of statues blocked his path, making it impossible for him to rescue Lu Yi.

Of course, Ouyang Jin wouldn’t stand by and do nothing; he had the Guild lift him up high to survey the situation and point out an escape route for Lu Yi, but Lu Yi was too desperate to properly understand the directions.

As Lu Yi’s remaining space to survive diminished, Ouyang Jin suddenly spotted a key opportunity—while the statues were crushing Lu Yi’s living space, they were also squeezing their own ability to move. Their stiffness and clumsiness might just give Lu Yi a sliver of a chance.

"Gu Fan, put all your force into hitting this direction," Ouyang Jin pointed to a particular statue, and Gu Fan immediately understood, kicking off and charging forward with all his might, then crashing headfirst into that statue.
