Night market, a certain barbecue stall.
A table filled with barbecue and beer.
Zhang Yue, Chen Zijin, Wolong, Yinlong, Xuanlan, and also Ice Emperor, Moon Mark, Seraph, eight people, sat around the table.
Looking at the large spread of aromatic, delectable skewers, Yinlong complained, "We've been following you and protecting you all day, and you treat us to this? Master, you're too stingy."
Zhang Yue glanced at Yinlong and said, "What we eat was voted on by you guys. I remember when barbecue was mentioned, you were the first to raise your hand."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Wolong said, "Master, Long Er means you ordered too little…"
Zhang Yue looked at the table of skewers and fell silent.
"Mm, arrange it."
Saying that, Zhang Yue waved to call the owner, "Same as this table, bring another serving."
Hearing this, Yinlong finally rubbed his hands and chuckled, "That's much more generous! I'll start first then!"
Zhang Yue couldn't help sighing, "It's been a hundred years, how are you still like a child."
While they were eating skewers, Zhang Yue asked Chen Zijin, "Do you have any particular thoughts this time?"
Chen Zijin ate a grilled enoki mushroom and said, "Aren't you afraid those few stinky bugs will follow you into the secret realm?"
"This is an exclusive secret realm," Zhang Yue said, "No one else can enter besides me."
"Yeah, that's what you say, but do you know where the secret realm is?", Chen Zijin analyzed calmly, "If the secret realm's location is inside the Death Territory, how are you going to get in?"
"Once you step into the Death Territory, you probably won't even have a chance to reach the secret realm, those stinky bugs will target you immediately."
Chen Zijin's words reminded Zhang Yue.
'Indeed. How could such a rare secret realm be located within a National Territory?'
'The Divine Tomb must be located in the Death Territory.'
If that's the case, once Zhang Yue opens the Divine Tomb, those eight ragtag pests who had been watching him from the shadows would definitely go guard beside the tomb immediately.
The moment Zhang Yue approached, he would have no chance to enter the tomb, they would intercept him.
He had been careless.
If Chen Zijin hadn't reminded him, Zhang Yue wouldn't have thought of this.
At this moment, Moon Mark said thoughtfully, "So, we'll have to use the same old trick again, lure the Eight Ferocious Beasts to enter World 58 early, and then Zero enters the Death Territory to open the Divine Tomb?"
"The same trick should only work once," Wolong said, "Even if they don't have brains, they should have learned this time. After all, they're Emperor-grade BOSSes."
As they spoke, Zhang Yue said, "Actually, there's no need to make it so troublesome."
Everyone looked at Zhang Yue, "Do you have a good plan to avoid the pursuit of the Eight Ferocious Beasts?"
"You can't avoid it," Zhang Yue said, "But I can make it so they have the chance, yet won't dare to get close to me."
So after finishing their late-night meal, Zhang Yue logged in.
———
"Ding~ Welcome back to the Otherworld, World 57 · Realm of the Gods!"
[[System Announcement] (World 57): "Ding~ All professionals please note, the great Peak Transcendent Lord God, Necromancer · Zero has logged into the Otherworld!"]
"Holy!", Chen Zijin, who had logged into the Otherworld with Zhang Yue, listened to the sudden announcement and couldn't help but exclaim, "There's even a login announcement? That's so classy."
The moment this announcement sounded, all the professionals in World 57 who were online, grinding monsters through the night, were instantly excited.
["Holy shit! There's a login announcement for this thing? So cool!"]
["666, that's high status. If I had a login broadcast like that, I'd log in and out ten times a minute!"]
["You'll just be blacklisted by the system in a minute!"]
["Blacklist me then, at least I'd feel accomplished! If I had that status, my ex would definitely beg on her knees to get back with me!"]
["Get the hell out of here with your love brain!"]
Zhang Yue logged into the Realm of the Gods safe zone, behind the shrine.
The aura of the Eight Ferocious Beasts immediately began to surge.
"The Necromancer has appeared!"
Although they couldn't enter the safe zone, the Eight Ferocious Beasts had been outside the shrine the whole time, paying attention to every move within.
So as soon as Zhang Yue logged in, they had their eyes on him.
Seeing Zhang Yue and Chen Zijin online while Wolong and Ice Emperor were absent, "Shadow" in the deep hidden territory couldn't help but be suspicious, "Where are that Necromancer's followers?"
Taking the cue from Shadow, "Extinction" said, "Then this is our chance to strike!"
"Don't be hasty," The Emperor, with careful thoughts, said, "Have you forgotten the trick the Necromancer used back in World 55?"
"This human is far more cunning and tricky than we imagined, hard to deal with. He knows we've been watching him from the shadows. There's no way he would act alone and give us the chance to ambush him. This must be a trap."
At this, Firmament grew impatient, "I think maybe because it's so late now, they think after they left before we wouldn't keep watching, so they logged on again at night trying to avoid our sight?"
"After all, humans need to rest. The Necromancer's followers have been with him for so many days, they should rest."
Obviously, having stared so many days, the Eight Ferocious Beasts had completely lost patience.
They finally saw Wolong and Ice Emperor absent and only Zhang Yue alone, they couldn't wait to rush up and tear him apart.
Only the Emperor remained calm and composed.
"Do not act rashly for now. I think this is a trap. Don't forget how Ash perished."
The Black Angel was impatient, "The Demon Emperor gave us a deadline before World 60, the Necromancer is about to break through World 57. Our time is short."
"If we don't act now, we'll lose the chance!"
The Emperor was unconcerned, "The Necromancer has delayed in World 57 for so long. Even though he could have gone to World 58 earlier, he's still staying, he must have a purpose."
"If I'm not mistaken, he should have some task that requires entering the Death Territory. We just need to wait. When he enters the Death Territory, we will strike."
"Once he's in the Death Territory, no one can stop us from killing the Necromancer!"
So, following the Emperor's instruction, the Eight Ferocious Beasts did not act rashly for the time being.
