"If this was a normal competition based on strength, we would have to withdraw at this point," Chu Chen said in a deep voice.
"However … this isn't an ordinary competition. Gu Haoran is obviously here for Teacher, and we are here to represent Teacher. This battle is a contest between two generations of disciples."
The three of them fell silent. After a while, Chu Chen broke the silence again and said firmly, "So, no matter what, we can't back out.
"That's why … no matter what, we can't back down. No matter how strong Gu Haoran is, we have to give it our all. We're new disciples brought up by Master, and we definitely can't just admit defeat to Gu Haoran, a former disciple and traitor. We have to fight. Even if we die, we'll accept it!
The veins on Chu Chen's clenched fists bulged, and his voice was filled with determination.
"Okay, I support you too. I don't want to give up!" Tang Rou gritted her teeth. "We've already come this far, I don't want to give up!"
Shen Hou's expression was also very serious. He thought for a moment before saying, "… Count me in. Even if there's no chance of winning, I've decided to give it a try. I didn't waste Teacher's kindness to me over the years. No matter what … we can't admit defeat!"
"Hehe … A bunch of cute fools."
The little hamster shook his head and sighed. "Big Beard is really lucky to have three good disciples like you. But in other words, Big Beard's luck is really bad … If you go to him voluntarily, I believe Gu Haoran will take the opportunity to kill all three of you. That's what he always wanted to do. "
"Not necessarily, it's not like we don't have any hope."
Chu Chen frowned and thought carefully for a while. "Actually, the most important goal of the competition is to get the medicine tablets. If we snatch them directly, we won't have any chance of winning. But we can consider using some methods to get the medicine tablets of Gu Haoran's team."
"Oh, do you have a plan?" The little hamster was slightly stunned.
"All plans are made by people." Chu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly. "We have Shen Hou. He is the most intelligent general in my heart!"
Chu Chen turned his gaze to the hesitant Shen Hou. "I'll leave the plan to snatch Gu Haoran's medicine tablet to you."
Shen Hou nodded silently. His brows were deeply furrowed, forming the character 'Chuan'.
Shen Hou sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, as if he had been thinking for an entire world. Finally, he opened his eyes.
Shen Hou said slowly, "In a direct confrontation, we have no chance of winning against Gu Haoran. After all, his strength is there for all to see. Therefore, the only thing we can consider is to set up a trap and make a good plan to take away their team's medicinal tablets. "
"Oh, set up a trap to get Gu Haoran's medicine tablet?" Tang Rou was a little nervous. On the other hand, Chu Chen was very clear-headed as he asked, "How confident are you in succeeding?"
"I've racked my brains to come up with a plan. The probability of success is very low. There's only a 1% to 5% chance of success." Shen Hou shook his head slightly. "After all, Gu Haoran is too powerful. In the face of absolute power, all plans and schemes are very limited. Moreover … Once the plan fails, we might end up in his hands instead. "
"I'm not afraid of that," Tang Rou said. "After all, we're still in the Palace of Ancient Medicine ruins. We're protected by the rules here. If we end up in his hands, we can automatically withdraw from the competition. That way, he won't be able to do anything. "
"It's not that simple."
Chu Chen shook his head. "We can leave the Palace of Ancient Medicine ruins if we withdraw from the competition. It's impossible that Gu Haoran doesn't care about this rule. Therefore, if we were to fall into his hands, it is very likely that he would make us completely lose the ability to resist at the first moment. He might not even give us the chance to admit defeat and withdraw from the competition. "
Fear flashed through Tang Rou's eyes.
Shen Hou continued, "However, since we're in charge of the plan now, as long as our plan is as perfect as possible and we consider all the details clearly, we might really be able to snatch his medicine tablet and escape unscathed."
The little hamster was speechless. It glanced at Shen Hou calmly. "Such a perfect plan … Can this bookworm do it?"
Shen Hou frowned and thought for a moment. Then, he said slowly, "I already have a preliminary idea in my mind. However, this plan might have many flaws. You guys can help me to fill in the gaps and perfect it. Chu Chen, you're the most important part of the plan. At the same time, you're a very calm person. Therefore, I hope that you can give me more suggestions in my next plan. "
Shen Hou took a deep breath.
"First, we still have to use information to guide the opponent's actions. My suggestion is to release two pieces of information …"
The atmosphere in the monitoring hall was dead silent.
After listening to Shen Hou's plan in a daze, the cold-looking short-haired girl glanced at the bald tutor beside her. "Tutor, what do you think … Their plan has a chance of success?"
"I can't tell." The bald tutor had a solemn expression. "With their current strength, snatching Gu Haoran's medicine tablet is almost equivalent to a group of ordinary people snatching a True Dragon's treasure. The success rate is too low."
"Oh? Then it seems that you don't have much hope for them. "
"However, I still hope that Chu Chen can create a miracle. Sigh …" The bald tutor sighed helplessly with a worried expression. "This kid is really in big trouble this time."
"According to our statistics, there are already a few teams that have gathered the five medicine tablets on their mission's pill formula." The short-haired girl looked at a book beside her and frowned slightly. "However, I have a question …"
"What?" The bald tutor was stunned.
"I'm very curious. Most of the top ten teams didn't complete their mission to collect the medicine tablets. Why is that?" The short-haired girl frowned. "Logically speaking, they're very powerful and should complete the mission earlier than the others."
"For the sake of balance."
The bald instructor smiled faintly. "For the strong teams that are ranked at the top, the difficulty of collecting medicinal tablets is much higher. This way, it won't be easy for the strong teams to succeed. Therefore, most of the people are lacking one or two medicinal herbs."
"However, there are teams in the top ten who have completed their mission. For example, the Forest Boa team has already collected all the medicine tablets."
