Cheng Yu looked at Ren Xiaosu as he prepared to leave with Yang Xiaojin and the others. He could not figure out what he was talking about. Why did setting up camp have anything to do with waiting for death?
"What do you mean?" Cheng Yu asked.
"Was this place designed by the Pyro Company?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
"Of course it was. Who else could it be other than them?" Cheng Yu said.
"Then what does the Pyro Company want?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
What the Pyro Company wanted was naturally the DNA samples of supernatural beings!
Therefore, after the tarantulas attacked the group, the Pyro Company's people would immediately go collect the DNA samples.
But this time, all of the teams had suffered heavy casualties. If they were to set up camp at this time, they would probably be surrounded by the Pyro Company immediately.
This was not a guess without evidence, but a certainty.
The others present were not fools either. When Ren Xiaosu pointed it out, they immediately realized what was going on.
No matter what injuries they suffered, they all got up from the ground.
Yang Xiaojin watched this scene quietly. Back in the Jing Mountains, if the private troops had listened to Ren Xiaosu's advice, they would not have been completely wiped out.
No, they were not completely wiped out. Xu Xianchu was still alive.
As they prepared to leave, Wang Yun led some people to set up some traps in the nearby forest. However, no one could see what they were doing.
Cheng Yu asked, "I saw y 'all holding a grenade just now. What were you guys planning to do?"
Wang Yun smiled and said, "Of course we're leaving a surprise for the Pyro Company's people."
The route Ren Xiaosu chose deviated slightly from the original plan. He did not head straight for the Pyro Company's hinterlands because he wanted to avoid encountering the Pyro Company's troops.
Before they could get far, those who had doubted Ren Xiaosu heard an explosion coming from the direction of the canyon. The Pyro Company's members must have detonated the grenade trap Wang Yun had set up.
Everyone was glad they had left early. Otherwise, the team would have lost more members.
Cheng Yu found a leeward spot and sat down. A wounded soldier suddenly said, "Many of you are supernatural beings. Actually, even if we encounter the Pyro Company's frontline troops, none of you would be afraid of them. It's just that none of you are willing to contribute. We haven't even entered the hinterland of the Sacred Mountain. I've calculated that it'll take at least two or three days for us to arrive. Now that we've lost so many people, it's not a good thing for everyone, is it? "
Another heavily injured player was placed on the ground by his teammates. The injured player was gasping for breath and looked like he was on the verge of death.
"They're the ones getting injured today, but we'll be the ones getting injured tomorrow. In a place like this where there's no backup, getting injured means death," a middle-aged man said.
"Why are you saying such depressing things now?" Luo Lan pursed his lips. "We're all here for benefits. Don't make yourself look like a martyr."
But no matter what Luo Lan said, he could not change this fact.
Even though they were all from different factions, they had all come with the same goal in mind. The deaths of the others had also inexplicably depressed everyone's mood.
Suddenly, Ren Xiaosu heard the voice from the palace ring out in his mind. "Quest: Let the injured see hope."
Ren Xiaosu frowned. The definition of the quest was too vague. How was he supposed to let them see hope?
He took a look at the injured player, then at Luo Lan. Then, he suddenly took out a small bottle of black medicine and pointed at the wound on Luo Lan's leg. "This is a prescription passed down in my family. Luo Lan was also shot just now, but his wound has already started healing. In another eight hours, he'll be able to move around freely like a normal person. His wound will be healed in two days."
Everyone immediately turned to look at Luo Lan when they heard that. Indeed, the gunshot wound on Fatty Luo Lan's leg had stopped bleeding.
Someone had noticed Ren Xiaosu secretly applying the medicine on Luo Lan, but they did not expect the medicine to be so miraculous.
Everyone's eyes lit up. Then they saw Ren Xiaosu put the black medicine back into his pocket.
Cheng Yu wondered, "Didn't you take out this medicine for everyone to use? Why did you put it away again?"
"Oh." Ren Xiaosu explained, "I just wanted to let you guys take a look."
Cheng Yu: "???"
The injured were confused.
From Ren Xiaosu's understanding, the palace had only said that he wanted his teammates to see hope when he issued the quest. Since they had already seen it, it was enough for them to just take a look.
The voice from the palace said, "Quest complete. Rewarded with a Perfect Skill Duplication Scroll!"
Ren Xiaosu was taken aback. He wondered if the palace would also think he had done a good job if the quest's completion rate was linked to the reward.
For a moment, Ren Xiaosu could not figure out what the palace wanted him to do.
But no matter what, the reward was still a Perfect Skill Duplication Scroll. It had been too long since he had seen something good like this!
Ren Xiaosu had been thinking about Luo Lan's skill that could summon his dead friends for too long. He had placed a lot of expectations on this skill.
In this world, human lives were as worthless as weeds. One minute, you could still be chatting and laughing with your friends, but the next second, danger and disaster would befall everyone.
Perhaps those friends would not have freedom after they became the golden shadows behind him. But this was the only skill that could extend one's life that Ren Xiaosu had come across so far.
Moreover, Luo Lan's dead comrades clearly still retained their sanity.
Due to Luo Lan's limited mental strength, he could not keep those golden shadows outside for long. But it was different for Ren Xiaosu. He could!
Come to think of it, Luo Lan had probably awakened such a skill because he sincerely cherished the lives of those warriors.
Superpowers were the continuation of a person's mental strength and willpower.
But just as Ren Xiaosu was about to use this Perfect Skill Duplication Scroll on Luo Lan, he hesitated.
It was because Ren Xiaosu knew that Luo Lan was a player who pretended to be weak. He would definitely have many master-level and above skills. What if Ren Xiaosu did not manage to get that superpower?
How could life be so smooth sailing that one's wishes would come true every time? In the past, the skills he got might have been the result of Yan Liuyuan's luck. But now that he did not have that luck, Ren Xiaosu had to be more careful.
Ren Xiaosu looked at Luo Lan and wondered, 'Should I first cripple Luo Lan's other master-level skills before using this Skill Duplication Scroll?
How am I going to cripple him? Break his arms and legs? '
Luo Lan realized that Ren Xiaosu was sizing him up, but he kept having a creepy feeling. He had an ominous premonition.
At this moment, the voice from the palace said, "Three Perfect Skill Duplication Scrolls. You can learn a specific skill."
Ren Xiaosu's eyes lit up. Although it was a little wasteful to use three scrolls to learn a skill, it was definitely worth it when it came to an especially important skill!
