Jie Ding's words stopped the NPC who was about to finish him off. Yes, this was the only reason he could stop. In theory, the enemy's words could not be trusted. However, these NPCs were so confused that they didn't even know what to do. So, as long as they heard that there was a way, even if the possibility was only one in ten million, they would still want to try.
The NPC in front of Jie Ding was not the only one who stopped. The other NPCs who were attacking Jie Ding's teammates also stopped and looked at Jie Ding. In an instant, Jie Ding's words seemed to have calmed the entire battlefield.
"Are you telling the truth?" The spear-wielding NPC pointed the spearhead at Jie Ding and said, "Don't try to trick me. I'm not that gullible. If you spout nonsense, I have a hundred ways to make you wish you were dead."
"Huff … huff …" Jie Ding panted heavily and held his chest for a long time without replying. On one hand, he was seriously injured, but on the other hand, he was still thinking about how to continue making up stories. Yes, Jie Ding was obviously talking nonsense when he said he had a way. If he had a way, he would have done it himself long ago. It was only because he had no other way that he ended up like this. However, could he tell the truth in this situation? Obviously, it was impossible. The other party would definitely stab him to death. In this situation, Jie Ding could only think of making up stories.
However, even though he was making up stories, he had to make it sound real. These NPCs were intelligent, so it was impossible for him to make up a story. So what should he do now? While pretending that he was too injured to answer, Jie Ding's brain was working furiously, thinking about how to make this story sound real.
"What's going on over there?" The person who spoke was Firehead. Yes, the chaotic battlefield suddenly became much quieter. Of course, Li Huailin and the others also noticed the situation over at Jie Ding's side. However, they were separated by a little bit of distance, so they couldn't see what was going on. They only saw a group of NPCs surrounding a programmer who had fallen to the ground. It was a little strange.
"Hmm …" Li Huailin naturally looked over as well. Just then, Jie Ding, who was lying on the ground, noticed Li Huailin and the others. Li Huailin's group naturally stood on a slightly higher hillside in order to get a clearer view of the battlefield. Li Huailin's group also took a few steps to get a better view of the battlefield. Their actions reminded Jie Ding of them.
"Hey hey! You're trying to stall for time, aren't you? " The NPC was growing impatient. He wanted to know what Jie Ding was talking about, so he used the tip of his spear to approach Jie Ding once more.
"Yes … yes." Jie Ding could not wait any longer. In his panic, he immediately said, "Yes, I know a way to stop the world from being destroyed. The reason why the world is collapsing is actually because of those guys. If we destroy them, the world will be destroyed! "
Jie Ding said as he pointed in a direction. All the NPCs looked in the direction Jie Ding was pointing and saw Li Huailin's group standing there.
"Huh?" All the NPCs were stunned. "You mean the travelers over there?"
Of course, the NPC's tone was filled with shock and disbelief. It wasn't just the NPC. Even Jie Ding's teammates stared at Jie Ding in surprise. They hadn't expected Jie Ding to say such a thing.
"Yes … yes!" Since Jie Ding had already spoken, he could not change his words. He could only continue, "Yes, those guys are the reason why the world is collapsing. As long as we destroy them, the world will return to its original state."
"Nonsense!" The NPC immediately shouted. "How do you know that this matter has something to do with them? What evidence do you have to say that? You're just lying to us! "
"No!" Jie Ding immediately said, "Don't you guys think that these people are completely different from us? They are actually people from another world. Their purpose in coming here is to destroy our world. They even lied to us at the beginning. Now, I've thought it through. Believe me, as long as we destroy them, our world will be safe! "
"From another world?" To be honest, the NPCs also felt a little strange. After all, Li Huailin's group was really a little different. Especially after witnessing the ability that Li Huailin had just displayed, it did not seem like an ability that a person from this world should have. If the other party was originally from this world, such a powerful person would have long been famous. It would not have seemed like he had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Therefore, when Jie Ding said that they came from another world, they really believed him.
However, according to Li Huailin himself, he was an Oracle. Of course, an Oracle was also considered to be someone from another world. Therefore, the current situation was that Li Huailin himself said that they were here to save the people here, while according to Jie Ding, they were the culprits who destroyed the world. So … Which side should they believe now?
To be honest, under normal circumstances, this group of NPCs would definitely not believe either side. However, this was not an ordinary situation. In the distance, the collapsed border was approaching them again. They could see the edge of the border from where they stood. If they did not do something now, it would be too late.
"What should we do?" The group of NPCs gathered together to discuss countermeasures and whether or not they should believe Jie Ding's words.
Suddenly, one of the NPCs said, "We can believe him."
"Huh?" The others were stunned.
"Regardless of whether what he said is true or not, we can believe that it is true," the NPC continued. The NPC continued, "We don't have any other choice now. No matter what, we have to try it out. This group of travelers is indeed very strange. Even if we believe that he is really an emissary of God, the leader also said that we have lost our chance. In other words, even if we believe that he is an emissary of God, we still can't be saved, right? If that is the case, why don't we believe this guy and try to attack them? "
"But that guy killed Succraven (the name of the Mage who was killed by Li Huailin), we …"
"I know, but if we don't attack now, will we be fine?" the NPC immediately said. "We have no way out, you know."
"This …" There was nothing wrong with what the NPC said. Although they were still quite afraid of the strength Li Huailin displayed, they were also on the verge of death. After thinking about it carefully, it did not seem that scary. It was only the difference between being killed by Li Huailin or being destroyed along with the world.
"I think we can try negotiating with the other party," the NPC from before suddenly said.
"Negotiate?"
"Yes. Since the demons here pointed out that the travelers are the culprits who destroyed the world, and he said that he is the Oracle who saved the world, we can let him prove his identity. If he can prove his identity, then he should save us. In that case, we can recognize him and even obey him. No one has any objections, right? "the NPC said.
The surrounding NPCs nodded. This was not a problem. After all, he was really the Oracle. Moreover, he had saved them, so there was nothing wrong with obeying him. Speaking of which, they were the Oracle's underlings, so it was not very shameful.
"Of course, if he can't prove his identity, then we'll just treat it as if we believe the words of these demons and attack!" the NPC said with a wave of his hand.
At this point, the others roughly understood what the NPC was trying to say. Simply put, they were being unreasonable. They were trying to force Li Huailin to save them. If he didn't save them, then they would treat it as if they believed the words of the Evil Demons. Whether Jie Ding's words were true or not was not important right now. In any case, it was giving them a reason to force Li Huailin.
After understanding what the NPC was trying to say, the group of NPCs fell silent. They did not expect to be forced to such an extent. This was definitely not a good idea, but what else could they do? Therefore, in this situation where no one knew what to do, this seemingly unreliable method seemed to be their only option.
"Let's go. Those who want to participate, follow me." The NPC who first suggested this idea walked directly towards Li Huailin's group. The other NPCs looked to their left and right, and most of them followed suit.
"It … it worked?" Jie Ding, who was panting on the ground, was also a little surprised. Yes, he did not expect the other party to actually believe the story he had made up. Was it really that simple? He was really making it up. If the other party had asked him in detail, Jie Ding would have been worried that he would not have been able to make up the story anymore. However, the other party did not ask any further questions and walked towards Li Huailin's group. Were these NPCs that stupid?
"Leader, is it okay to say that?" A teammate asked. "If those NPCs really killed those guys, how do we go back?"
"Then what do you think we should do? If I didn't say we were going to die, okay? "Jie Ding said as he clutched the wound on his chest." How is Melance? Can she still be saved? "
Of course, the teammate did not know what to do. He could only follow Jie Ding's instructions and look at his teammate, Melance, who had fallen to the ground. However, he discovered something slightly surprising. "Leader, Melance … she's still alive."
"Huh?" Even Jie Ding was stunned.
