## Culia

Chen puts Culia's corpse in the Super System.

Chen uses Camouflage to disguise himself as Culia and orders the red bandit minions to disperse. It worked.

After "settling" the bandits, he returned to Xilang to meet up with Dodo and Mengda. With the help of the magic map, they flew toward Mount Tuolan. The rocky mountain that Culia mentioned wasn't difficult to find. However, the magic communication tower did take a lot of work to find, and it was thanks to Dodo. It turned out that a carnivorous, hallucinating tree (幻魔树) was cleverly planted outside. It could make the living things around it hallucinate and then prey on them.

Dodo eats it.

The main body of the communication tower was a special piece of magic stone. The higher the quality, the more advanced the magic array it could engrave and the greater the effective distance. The magic arrays of each communication tower were different to avoid "interference" of signals.

What made Chen Rui happy was that the magic stone was actually aura-convertible material. The quality of this magic stone was obviously high; it provided 40,000 auras.

## Plan

At present, the connection between Leia Town and Xilang mountain had been cut off, at least the speed of communication was greatly reduced. Unless someone went to Leia Town to report, Barnacle wouldn't know what happened in the mines. Even if there were bandits that reported to Barnacle before the magic communication tower was destroyed, it didn't matter because "Culia" would really go to Leia Town.

If he kept staying in the mining office, it was like fighting openly with the enemies who were hiding covertly. Even if he killed Culia, Sully and others, stronger enemies would appear one after another. Not only it was dangerous, but it also put him in a passive situation.

The Red Devils' forces weren't small and their strengths were also great, but they couldn't have no leader. So, the most effective way was to kill their leader. Now, the main members of Xilang's Red Devil Bandits--Culia, Sully and Yagus were eliminated. Although there were a few hundred remaining bandits, they were restricted in the Mountain Walan by Chen Rui that pretended to be Culia. Thus, they shouldn't be a problem. At present, the main force of the Red Devils was stationed in Leia Town. Their leader, Snowden, had just returned to the Red Spirit Estate; he wouldn't return for the time being. Now, there was only the Deputy Leader Barnacle left.

Chen Rui's first plan was to take the initiative to attack and eliminate Barnacle while Snowden wasn't around!

If he continued to wait passively at the mines, even if he destroyed the magic communication tower and delayed the transmission of the information, he was still not dealing with the root cause. Stronger enemies would appear one after another. If Barnacle or even Snowden rushed back, Chen Rui didn't think that Athena and him would have a chance of winning.

Therefore, he wanted to take the initiative to attack. First, eliminate Barnacle. When they were "leaderless", he'd try to collapse the Red Devils' main force. By then, even if Snowden came back, he would be left alone. Then, at the right timing, he would cooperate with Princess Shea's military power from the Dark Moon. That should clear a path to the west.

## Green Leaf Forest

Before that, he had to go back to the green leaf forest. One reason was to let Athena feel at ease and another reason was to truly "sleep" for the "grand master's inheritance". Today, during the fight with Culia, he won mainly because of luck in reality. This also made him more aware of the gap. To face a Higher Demon at its peak like Barnacle, his current power was definitely not enough. Besides, Leia Town might have more unknown dangers. So, the priority before implementing the plan was to seize this precious free time to concentrate on improving strength.

Not just Barnacle but the duel with Arux was approaching.

After Chen Rui made up his mind, he mounted Mengda and flew to the Green Leaf Forest with Dodo to catch up with Athena.
