On the other hand, at the foot of Six Harmonies Temple.
"Cap … captain?" When [Final Assault] saw [First Also Be King], he couldn't believe his eyes.
This was because he had never seen First Is King in such a state before.
At that moment, the captain of Zombie Blade's first team had a pale face, and his eyes were unfocused. He was shuffling as he walked, and he was gasping for air. About one hundred meters behind him, there was a group of ghosts that were 'floating' behind him.
"Phew … That's enough … Stop asking questions … Quick … Use your medic skill to stop the bleeding. You have to stop it completely!" When First Is King arrived before his teammate, he gasped for air as he made this request.
"Er … Okay …" Even though Final Assault was confused, he still obeyed.
Speaking of which, Final Assault could be considered a very unique player … All of his masteries were B grade.
In other words … he was one of those rare balanced players. He could be called on for anything in the team. He was not afraid of fighting head-on, he could take out a gun or two when it came to ranged, he had a few Sorcery skills and summoned creatures, and he was always there when it came to healing the wounded.
Even though he was not outstanding in any area, he was good at everything. Zombie Blade's photon processor listed his average ability, and he was one of the best. Therefore, he joined the first team.
And at this critical juncture, the teammate that First Aid King wanted to meet the most was also the Final Assault. Such an all-rounded helper would be useful in any situation.
"Okay, I've stopped all the bleeding." After all, he was a man with level B medic mastery. With the help of medic skills and items, it did not take long for Final Assault to stop all the bleeding points on First Is King's body. There was not a single drop of blood left.
But …
"Hmm …" First Is King groaned and turned back to look. He realized … the group of ghosts had not stopped moving. "Damn it … Is it too late already?"
"What's wrong, captain?" Captain, "Final Assault asked." What's too late? "
"Sigh … Let's talk as we walk …" First Yewei King said as he shot a look in the direction of the mountain gate, indicating for his teammates to follow him. Then, he jogged over and said, "Doomsday is dead. You already know that, right?"
"Yes … In less than five minutes after the scenario started, I saw a living person disappear from the team tab …" Final Assault replied.
First, Ye Wei Wang shook his head and sighed before saying, "The Apocalypse … was killed by Feng Bujue …"
"Oh …" When Final Assault heard that, he immediately revealed an expression of understanding. It was as if once the name 'Feng Bujue' appeared in the sentence, many things that did not make sense became logical, and there was no need for explanation.
Seeing that his teammates had accepted this setting, he continued, "Feng Bujue (Now, Feng Bujue's real identity is no longer a secret. Many people know that he is a novelist and his name is similar to his in-game name) After killing the apocalypse, he climbed to a high place and sang 'Eighteen Bends in the Mountain Road' …"
"Huh?" Final Assault turned around and said with a twist of his lips, "Are you serious?"
"Do you think I'm in the mood to joke with you?" First, Ye Wei Wang narrowed his eyes.
"Hmm …" Final Assault was silent.
First, Ye Wei Wang also had a pained expression on his face. "Actually … before I heard the song, I heard the gunshots and recognized that they were Doomsday's weapons, so before Feng Bujue started singing, I was already moving toward that place. Unfortunately, when I arrived, Doomsday was already dead, so … I got into a fight with Feng Bujue. "
"You're actually still alive …" Final Assault's words had clearly been blurted out without much thought.
"Hey!" First, Ye Wei Wang roared. "What are you talking about? If we're going to die when we see him, then we should just admit defeat! "
"No … That's not what I meant …" Final Assault replied rather awkwardly. "Er … I feel like something is off today …"
When First, Ye Wei Wang heard that, his expression shifted. Then, he immediately leaned over to whisper something into the man's ear.
"Oh! That's right! So, that's what happened! " Final Assault was enlightened after hearing what his captain had to say. "I was wondering what was wrong … So, it was …"
"What is it!" Seeing as the man was about to say something like 'drug', First, Ye Wei Wang quickly cut him off. "Think before you speak!"
After being reminded by his roar, Final Assault also realized his carelessness. Thinking about how he almost revealed the dark secrets of the gaming studio during the open competition, he was quite afraid.
"Er … I'm sorry …" He quickly apologized for his slip of the tongue.
"Never mind … Be more careful next time." First, Ye Wei Wang did not blame him because Captain First, Ye Wei Wang knew very well that this kind of situation where he blurted things out without thinking … was undoubtedly caused by the 'drug'.
Long term use of drugs that interfered with emotions and nerves would definitely have this kind of side effect. Since their brains had gotten used to the game state under the influence of the drug, their own inhibition mechanism had changed accordingly. Once the drug was stopped, the brain would need to spend some time to readjust this mechanism. And before the readjustment was completed, the words and expressions of the members of Zombie Blade … were basically 'following their feelings'.
"In any case …" First Ye Is King soon pulled the topic back and continued the previous topic. "After the fight with Feng Bujue, I was injured to a certain degree, and then … he escaped."
"Not bad, Captain!" Final Assault said matter-of-factly. "Since you were able to chase him away, he must have been more seriously injured than you were, right?"
"Er …" First, Ye Wei Wang looked embarrassed. "No …"
"Then, why did he run away?" Final Assault asked.
"Initially, I did not understand it, but after a while, I understood …" First, Ye Wei Wang replied in a depressed tone. "This man … wanted to use me as' live bait '… to attract the monsters that were hiding in the shadows."
"The group of monsters that were following you?" Final Assault said as he turned back to look.
"Yes," First, Ye Wei Wang replied. "At first, I thought that these monsters were easy to deal with, but I soon realized that … they are almost invincible." He paused. "Physical attacks are useless, and energy attacks have little effect … Only sorcery skills are effective against them, but this scenario limits the power of skills … I used my most powerful sorcery skill, but it only managed to push them back a little."
"Then … have you tried to shake them off?" Final Assault asked.
"Of course I tried …" The First Yewei King replied, "If I could shake them off, I would have done it a long time ago …" When he said that, there was an obvious flash of fear in his eyes. "Even though the speed of those ghosts is not that fast, no matter how far away I am, they will continue to move toward me in the shortest straight line, and they can even pass through obstacles …"
"But why do they have to chase after you?" Final Assault asked in confusion.
Xian Yewang replied, "According to my observations and speculations … they should have come here because of the fresh smell of blood on my body. That is why … Feng Bujue created so many non-fatal wounds on my body. "
"Oh …" Final Assault nodded. "But you are no longer bleeding, so why are they still chasing after you?"
First, Ye Wei Wang interrupted his teammate again. "Naturally, it is because my clothes are soaked in blood …" He sighed. "Sigh … that is why I said 'it is too late'."
"Then … what should we do next?" Final Assault asked.
"What else can we do? The only thing we can do is pick up the pace and try not to stay in one place for too long," First, Ye Wei Wang replied.
As they spoke, they walked from the foot of the mountain to the entrance of Liu He Temple.
Looking at the gap on the door, First, Ye Wei Wang grumbled with annoyance, "Tsk … someone beat us to it …"
"Is it possible that it was left behind by Fei Kou?" Final Assault asked.
"Hmm …" First, Ye Wei Wang thought about it. "That is not impossible …" Then, he used his anxious gaze to look back at the group of ghosts that were slowly approaching them from the foot of the mountain. "In any case … based on the introductory cinematic, the key information of this scenario is obviously hidden inside the pagoda inside Liu He Temple. So … be it friend or foe, everyone is probably heading there. "He changed the topic." It might not be a bad thing to have someone leading the way … "
After saying that, he signaled his teammate with his eyes and stepped into the doorway. Final Assault hesitated for half a second before following after him.
…
At the same time, several hundred meters away, behind the group of ghosts …
"Very good … Finally, we have entered the temple." Feng Bujue had his hands in his pockets as he followed behind the group of ghosts, slowly moving toward the temple.
Of course, he still consciously kept a certain distance from the monsters in front of him to avoid being affected by the "Blood Corrosion Aura" of those monsters.
"When did you learn how to control the monsters in the scenario?" Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind Brother Jue.
Feng Bujue did not need to turn around to know who it was. One, he recognized Ruo Yu's voice. Two, there were not many people in the game who could sneak up behind him so quickly and silently.
"I can't control them," Ye Zichen said. The next second, Feng Bujue answered without turning around. "I have merely grasped their movement patterns and made use of them."
"Sounds like … these ghosts are no different from animals in your eyes," Ruo Yu said as she picked up her pace to walk next to Brother Jue.
Feng Bujue did not answer that. He smiled at Ruo Yu and said, "By the way … did you arrive just in time, or have you been lying in ambush for a long time?"
"My teleportation coordinates are here," Ruo Yu replied.
"So, you've been lying in ambush for a long time?" Brother Jue asked.
"Yes," Ruo Yu replied. "But after waiting for a long time, it was Xiao Tan and Xiao Ling who showed up."
"Oh?" Feng Bujue followed up with two questions. "When did that happen? Didn't you interact with them? "
"They came up the mountain about six or seven minutes ago," Ruo Yu replied. "We waited in the dark and didn't make a sound. We wanted to see if they were being followed."
"But …" Brother Jue signaled for her to continue.
"In the end, the two from Zombie Blade showed up," Ruo Yu continued.
"Then, why didn't you attack them?" Feng Bujue asked.
"Because I soon saw a large group of monsters moving toward them, and among them …" Ruo Yu turned to look at Brother Jue and said in a low voice, "… you."
She paused for two seconds before continuing, "Since you followed them and didn't make a move, you must have a plan … With that in mind, I let them be."
"Haha … That's quite clever." Feng Bujue laughed. "That's right … I kept the captain alive because I wanted to use him as a lab rat. In the past twenty minutes, he has already performed a comprehensive test on the 'animals' before us. Let me explain it to you … "
"Wait a minute …" Ruo Yu interrupted him. "Before we get into these technical details, let's discuss the strategy first." She moved her eyes slightly and said, "Other than the two that went up the mountain, Zombie Blade still has two more members. If you plan to go up the mountain, I think … I should stay to ambush you."
"There's no need for that." Feng Bujue rejected Ruo Yu's suggestion and explained, "I killed the guy called Doomsday Assault at the start of the scenario, so … other than the two that came before, they only have one member left." He paused for half a second before continuing, "Also, through the aerial view of the CG, I have roughly estimated the size of this Lotus Moon Town. Combined with the information you provided, I speculate that … the remaining man named 'No Mouth Is King' was most likely transported directly to the interior of Liuhe Temple."
"Then, the other 'ten to twenty percent' is …" Ruo Yu asked.
"For example …" Brother Jue listed with a smile. "… He was assigned by the system to the wasteland outside the town that is very far away from the temple. He died mysteriously when he was wandering around the map alone. He got lost when there was a clear marker (the mountain where Liu He Temple is located can be seen from all the open spaces in Lotus Moon Town). He thought it was not a good idea to go to Liu He Temple, so he went somewhere else." He finished all that in one breath and smiled. "Adding all these 'hypotheses' together … the probability is ten to twenty percent."
Ruo Yu listened to this logical deduction and replied in a noncommittal tone, "Okay, I'll follow you up the mountain." Then she raised her eyes to look at the ghosts before them. "Continue with your explanation of their movements …"
…
On the other hand, at Liu He Temple, inside the Xiangji Kitchen (the kitchen of a temple of a certain size).
At that moment, the last member of Zombie Blade's first team, No Mouth Is King, was squatting in a corner, shivering as he looked at the scary scene before him.
He saw … a monster with a pig's head and a human body cooking on the stove.
And the thing he was cooking … was a pot of meat soup with 'unique ingredients'.
