The 'loss' that Feng Bujue referred to was naturally not the loss of the battle but the failure of the side quest …
When the Silkworm Mother let out her dying roar, there was another sound. But at the time, the players' ears were suffering from extreme pain, so they had no time to pay attention to the other sound.
Only Brother Jue … seemed to have caught onto something.
As someone who was used to multitasking, he would not miss any detail. In that split second, he instinctively glanced at the game menu … and discovered that Uncle Worthless was dead.
Indeed, the sound that was drowned out by the roar was the system announcement. "Team Member: Uncle Worthless has died."
"What?" When Hong Hu heard Brother Jue, he reacted quickly and noticed the change in the team tab. "Tsk … We still miscalculated …"
After Flying Pegasus and Atobe drank the Life Points Recovery Potions, they habitually opened the game menu to check on the recovery of their Life Points, so they soon discovered Uncle Worthless's death.
"Actually, there is nothing wrong with that." Feng Bujue shrugged. "We tried our best, but we still failed to save Uncle Worthless. We can only blame the monsters in this scenario for being too intelligent …" He continued in a helpless tone. "I believe … at the last moment, the Silkworm Mother probably knew that she was going to die, so she decided to drag someone down with her."
"No, I was too careless …" Hong Hu shook his head. "I should have told you earlier …" He turned to Brother Jue. "You weren't affected, so you didn't know … when the Silkworm Mother controlled the victim's five senses, the victim's five senses would be greatly amplified. During that period … my sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste … were all giving me plenty of information that was enough to cause fear … "
"Yes, yes, that is super scary," Atobe chimed in. "Especially the sound coming from inside my own body … it is too creepy."
Hong Hu nodded and continued. "I forgot to take that into consideration when I came up with the strategy. Since Uncle Worthless was captured by the Silkworm Mother, he must be in the state of 'super five senses'. Being hit by the roar in that kind of situation, the damage to the brain is unimaginable … "he said with some regret." Sigh … If not for my miscalculation, perhaps we could have come up with a better strategy. "
"Pfft …" After holding it in for a second, Feng Bujue actually laughed. "Hahahaha …"
"What's wrong?" Hong Hu narrowed his eyes and looked at him.
"I'm mocking you," Brother Jue replied with an expression that was asking for a beating. "You call yourself a 'wise general'? You're just an idiot! Hahahaha … "
"How did you manage to live until you're in your twenties?" Hong Hu grumbled. "It is a miracle that you haven't been beaten to death …"
Suddenly, the laughter stopped. Feng Bujue only used half a second to pull back his smile and put on a serious expression. "Alright, you've been insulted and despised by me. Can you stop blaming yourself now?"
"Hmm …" Hong Hu replied woodenly. "The way you console others is quite unique …" He thought about it for a few seconds. "Even though my remorse and guilt haven't decreased, my attention has been diverted by you … I have to say, you've pulled a good aggro …"
"You flatter me," Feng Bujue said.
"Alright, let's not dwell on it anymore …" Atobe sprawled on the leaf. "Since things have come to this, why don't we rest for a while? After all, the main mission has no time limit, so I suggest we rest where we are and move after we're fully recovered."
"That's not a bad idea." Feng Bujue also drank a bottle of potion. (Brother Jue always had five medium bottles of Life Points Recovery Potion in his inventory, and he drank one of them.) He stood up and said, "But we can't rest here. We'd better find another place … and we have to be quick."
"Huh? Why is that? "Flying Horse asked with confusion.
"Of course, it's for safety." Hong Hu also stood up and pushed on his glasses. "Now that the tiger is gone from the mountain, the monkeys will soon come out to call themselves king."
"Er …" Flying Horse thought about it for a few seconds before he understood the metaphor. "You mean … this place is the 'mountain', and the Silkworm Queen is the 'tiger'?"
"Yes," Hong Hu replied. "In this Crystal Maze, the Silkworm Queen is undeniably the king. Now that she's dead, many creatures that are only second to her have lost their natural predator. Once they realize that, they will come here and try to take over this area … "
"Beep —! Then we'd better run! "Atobe jumped up from the ground." I can't fight anymore. "
Flying Horse also stood up with his hands on his knees. "Yes, even heroes need to rest. For example … if the light on their chest flashes for too long, they'll need to fly away."
"I get it now." Feng Bujue sighed. "You don't need to use the aliens from Nebula M78 as an example …"
…
Five minutes later, on a path southeast of Ku Ba …
Ping ping ping …
The sound of Bill moving on the crystal was quite loud. His weight and metallic feet made it impossible for him to keep a low profile.
"We're almost there." Billy, who rode ahead on the tricycle, said without turning his head. "In terms of time …" He lowered his head to look at his watch. "We're a few minutes late …"
"There seems to be something fighting ahead," Bill said with his head up. Although the top of the crystal path was covered by a pinkish-white net, Bill seemed to be able to know what was happening not far away.
"Ah …" Billy answered weakly. "It's just two ignorant and greedy beasts fighting …"
"Do you want me to clean it up?" Bill raised his left hand and clenched his right hand into a fist.
"Ha … If you want to do it, go ahead." Billy saw his younger brother's eagerness and thought it was funny. "You've been locked up for a long time. Take this opportunity to warm up."
"Okay!" Bill replied in an excited tone. In the next second, he stomped his right leg on the ground … ….
With a bang, a large chunk of the incomparably hard crystalline crust was actually shattered by his stomp, and everything within a hundred meters of him was shaken.
Billy, who was riding on the tricycle, bounced a few centimeters off the ground along with the tricycle. After landing, he helplessly spread out his hands, adjusted his little bow tie, and continued to pedal forward.
On the other side … Bill's large body shot out like a cannonball, rushing toward the top of Ku Ba.
"This silk is so annoying …" Bill muttered in mid-air as he tore off the layers of net covering his face.
After the Silkworm Queen died, all the nets in the Crystal Maze lost their special properties and became normal silk. Even if they accidentally stuck to the body, they could be torn off easily.
"Roar …" A strange roar came from the front.
Bill looked carefully, and a huge beast entered his line of sight.
This beast had the head of a pig and the body of a dog. Its body was huge, and it had black fur, hard spikes, and red eyes. It could see in the dark. It liked to eat rotten things and lived in dark and damp places. According to the Classic of Mountains and Seas, it was a red-eyed boar demon.
On the other side of Ku Ba, there was a slender humanoid demon made of vines standing there. It seemed to be facing off against the red-eyed boar demon.
In between the two creatures, there was a pile of body parts, and blood was flowing out … Judging from the number and size, this pile was undoubtedly the Silkworm Queen's body.
"Ha … They're here to fight over this pile of rotten meat …" Bill laughed. "Haha … Same as me! Hey! "
He shouted, and with the momentum of falling, he punched the red-eyed boar demon that was closer to him.
The red-eyed boar demon was a rare beast in the Crystal Maze, and it was very powerful. Facing an uninvited guest like Bill, it did not want to be outdone. It raised the sharp teeth on both sides of its nose and attacked.
Unexpectedly …
Gulp —
The sound of bones breaking announced the result of this attack. Bill's iron fist easily broke the sharp teeth of the red-eyed boar demon, and he did it with only one hand …
Just now, when he was close to the enemy, Bill changed his stance slightly. He swung his fist at lightning speed and threw a horizontal punch.
Only the one who was hit by this punch could understand the terror of this punch.
It seemed like a simple and unadorned attack, but it contained unparalleled power and speed.
There were no fancy special effects, no flashy name of the move. In fact … this punch could not even be considered a move. It was just a simple movement. But … it was powerful.
This was absolute power without any modification or flaw.
The body of steel, the strength of ten thousand catties, and the speed of the wind. This was the Primitive War Puppet, Bill. In terms of data, his design could be said to be 'simple'. If an Anomaly saw Bill and Billy appear at the same time, they would not be able to tell that these two sets of data were 'brothers'.
But being simple did not mean that it was weak. In Bill's simple design, the only thing that could be praised was the 'value' of the various data. It was only in this aspect that he wasn't inferior to the Four Pillar Gods in any way …
If one had to make an analogy, Billy was like a smartphone from the next generation. It was exquisitely made and had many functions. And Bill … was like an old-fashioned phone made from titanium. He could only use it to make calls and send messages, but it was not cheaper than Billy.
"Ah!" The red-eyed boar demon wailed. Its broken teeth fell out from its mouth and tore at the flesh inside its mouth. But it didn't even care about the "pain". The strong fear and survival instinct made it jump down from the leaf and run away …
"Hehe …" Seeing the boar demon escape, the 'vine monster' chuckled wickedly before raising its eyes to look at Bill. "Even though I have no idea where you came from, you look quite powerful … Hehehe …" It wiggled its vine body and slowly walked forward. It used a patch of brambles to surround Bill. "How about this … you become my subordinate, and we will rule this land together … cough … ka … ah …"
Bill gripped the 'neck' of the vine monster with one hand and laughed wickedly. "You are dumber than a pig, you bean sprout …"
