Chapter 76

This made Kusunoki Ryotaro a little scared.

Aiden was not dead, and he had already told Linzhi all the information about them.

If they knew about this, would they retaliate against him and then retaliate against the Sakura Country?

"Linzhi, I know you want to take first place. Go down and kill Aiden and the others now. Don't give them the chance to activate that mind control skill!"

At this moment, Kusunoki Ryotaro became more determined to have Linzhi kill the American player.

Lin Zhi raised an eyebrow and looked at him, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Kusunoki Ryotaro didn't understand what this meant, so he replied seriously:

"No, no, I just hope you can kill Aiden quickly. He has so many skills to use, and now that the lockdown has been lifted, he has a lot of helpers."

As for the players from his own country, Kusunoki Ryotaro thought that after contacting them later, he would ask them to leave and never let them get involved in the muddy waters of the United States.

After thinking for a while, Kusunoki Ryotaro carefully moved his bound wings again to remind Linzhi:

"And that... I've already told you everything I know. Can you please let me go?"

He is still tied up by the flying toad.

Lin Zhi hummed softly, but did not let Kusumoto Ryotaro go as he wished.

"?"

Kusumoto Ryotaro was stunned and blinked in confusion.

But he saw the tiger suddenly turn around in mid-air and grinned at him with a row of neat and sharp fangs.

In his hawk form, he subconsciously trembled a little, as if he realized something.

Suddenly, he pointed at Da Hu angrily and shouted, "Lin Zhi, you lied to me! You promised not to kill me!"

"Your promises also include undead creatures. Are you going to be a traitor?"

After thinking for a moment, he added another sentence, trying to put Linzhi on the moral high ground.

Hearing the voice, a look of confusion appeared on Lin Zhi's face.

Looking at Kusunoki Ryotaro with eyes full of seriousness, she said, "I did agree."

Then he changed the subject and said, "But Dahu is not an undead creature."

"Besides, you were the one who attacked me first."

If Kusunoki Ryotaro had never shown any ill will towards her from the beginning to the end, she could certainly let him go.

It’s just like when we killed Shoichi Toyama before.

She could have gone after him, but she didn't.

It was just because Kusunoki Ryotaro had never hurt himself at that time, at most he was just following Toyama Shoichi.

But now it's different.

Since he chose to cooperate with Aiden to attack her.

The only outcome is death.

…

【drop--】

[Dragon Nation player Linzhi killed Sakura Nation player Kusunoki Ryotaro, successfully plundering 60% of his contribution points. The current cumulative contribution points earned are: 753,500 points!]

On the other side, on land.

Aiden, who escaped death, looked up at the sky with a lingering fear on his face.

I thought I was dead this time.

He died in frustration without even using his life-saving skills...

Unexpectedly, he managed to escape successfully!

Fortunately, the flying toads had a moment's pause to retract their tongues.

It was also at that moment that Aiden successfully activated his skill - [Puppet].

This was copied from a player in their country.

You can create a puppet clone for yourself to help your original body bear the damage or die in its place.

It is powerful, but each use consumes more than half of your mental energy and has significant side effects.

But compared to death, the side effect of permanently lowering the upper limit of mental strength seems less important.

If Aiden had not been forced to interrupt the spell casting before and had not had enough mental strength, he would not have been able to use this skill.

In that case, he would have become a contribution to Linzhi, just like Ryotaro Kusumoto.

…

"If you calculate the time carefully, more than five minutes have passed since the closed area was lifted.

During this period, the poisonous fog has spread twice.

This place is quite close to the central area, so it's not affected by the poisonous fog."

Blake looked at Aiden and said seriously:

"It seems that Kusunoki Ryotaro has already told Linzhi the information you deliberately revealed."

"That's for sure."

Aiden thought so too.

Otherwise, the system would not have announced it only now.

"I just don't know when she will come to see us." Blake said again.

"No rush."

By this time, Aiden had come to his senses and gave up the idea of ​​having everyone surround Linzhi.

He didn't know why he was so impulsive sometimes, and he wanted to do whatever he wanted and execute it immediately.

But it could also be a side effect of when Oliver tested his skills on himself earlier...

The life-and-death moment he just experienced actually calmed Aiden's crazy brain down.

"Although I deliberately let Kusumoto Ryotaro reveal that there was a mind-controlled player in our team to lure Lin Zhi into taking action early, I think she will look for him at the last minute."

"Or maybe Linzhi simply doesn't believe what Kusumoto Ryotaro said, and doesn't think we'd sacrifice our own players to compete for first place in the secret realm. In that case, won't we get nothing?"

Blake asked the question.

Aiden pondered for a moment and said, "It's actually a bet. We are betting, and she is also betting. It depends on who can win."

"But in any case, it's better for her to come to us than for us to come to her."

"That's true," Blake nodded, "let's not talk about that for now."

"By the way, is it really okay to let Oliver act alone when the time comes?"

He was still a little worried.

Aiden sighed softly: "There's nothing we can do about it. He's so special after all."

Oliver is their trump card on this trip.

Letting Aiden be the "strong man" is to hide Oliver perfectly.

After all, his ability is too strong——

Can mind control any player whose level is not higher than yours, regardless of rank!

Aiden knows this very well from personal experience.

And what does this mean?

This means that even the disaster-level Linzhi can be controlled by Oliver!

The reason why Oliver's existence was not exposed before was to eliminate more people within a limited time.

The "Battle Royale Mode" added to the game system this time will, if nothing unexpected happens, eliminate some people.

The fewer players there are, the greater their advantage.

Because although Oliver's skills are very strong, he still has a fatal weakness - he is socially anxious!

It’s okay if I meet someone I know, I can tolerate it.

But once he met a stranger, Oliver wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

It's hard to even focus, how can I activate any skills?

Moreover, Aiden and Blake both felt that Lin Zhi was not someone who would put players from their country in danger.

So when she took the initiative to find Oliver, the Dragon Country players were definitely not around.

That way Oliver can activate his skills smoothly.

As for those undead creatures...

Oliver won't give Linzhi the chance to summon him out.

Before they left, the top leaders of the United States had discussed whether to choose the secret realm reward or Linzhi?

Compared to obtaining the secret realm winner's reward, obtaining the world's only disaster-level awakener is definitely more important.

So if we really control Linzhi, what does it matter if Longguo wins this secret realm?

Special secret realms appear every few years, but there is only one in Nyingchi.

They can still clearly distinguish between what is important and what is not.

Therefore, there has never been any talk of sacrificing players from one's own country to get first place.

Although the United States wants to win, it won't be so inhumane.

Language that seems true or false is easiest to be believed.

Letting Kusumoto Ryotaro convey this message is to make this point more concrete.

And all of this was actually just to attract Lin Zhi over and eventually control her completely through Oliver's skills.

It's a pity that William died so suddenly, otherwise if he had told Aiden and the others that "Linzhi is immune to mental attacks", perhaps the thing that made them all autistic would not have happened later.

But that’s all in the past.

…

Linzhi didn't know about Aiden and Blake's various analyses and inferences, but she would not just let a potential danger exist.

Although I also think that it is difficult for the United States to do the things that Kusunoki Ryotaro mentioned.

But it is better to be safe than sorry.

So Linzhi still planned to take the time to go there in person to verify it.

We have finally managed to maintain our top ranking in contribution value, and we can't lose it just like that.

However, the most important thing at the moment is to go to the central area. The rest can be dealt with after Shang Mengyu is sent back to the Dragon Country army.

After the battle royale mode is over, she can act alone, which is both safer and more convenient.

…

The poisonous fog was restricted to a certain height, so the monk Mengyu from Linzhi stayed on the back of the big tiger.

During this period, no one approached them even though they were affected by the closed area.

In other words, players who wanted to approach also gave up because of the previous system announcement.

So the two men and the tiger quickly arrived at the central area.

At this time, there are already quite a few players in the central area.

They stood in their respective camp positions.

Linzhi saw Yao Bo and the wolfdog he had met once before.

Yao Bo had been staring at the panel for a long time, so when he saw Linzhi's coordinates approaching, he began to look around.

Linzhi let Dahu land on the ground, and Yao Bo only then saw her figure.

He immediately waved at her, "Here, here!"

Lang Qing nodded at her without saying much.

Linzhi put Dahu back into the storage space, and despite the various looks from the people around him, he walked step by step towards the location of the Dragon Country players.

Shang Mengyu also followed behind, her heart beating a little faster.

Half excited, half nervous.

It was the first time that she was stared at by so many people, although most of them were looking at her idol.

Several players from the Bear Country were also there. Linzhi saw Andre and Mok Hansen, but did not see Andrew and the brown bear Nabi.

“Linzhi, have you ever met Andrew?”

Andre also saw Linzhi. After nodding at her, he couldn't help but step forward and ask.

A rare hint of anxiety appeared on his calm face, and he was obviously very worried about his younger brother.

"No, I only ran into Aiden and Kusunoki Ryotaro."

Lin Zhi told the truth, and after thinking for a moment, he added:

"If Andrew was in danger, he would definitely ask you for help. If you didn't receive any message, then everything is fine."

Hearing this, Andre didn't say anything else, but the worry on his face never disappeared.

He naturally understood this principle.

The problem was that Andrew didn't reply to the message he sent.

Simply put, I can't get in touch.

Even if he was told a coordinate, he wouldn't be as helpless as he is now, waiting anxiously.

As for Linzhi's request for help...

What if Andrew didn't even have time to send him a message for help?

The more Andre thought about it, the more anxious he became. It took a long time for the people from the Bear Country to persuade him before he gave up the idea of ​​leaving the central area and searching inch by inch.
