Chapter 54 Battle of Zhuolu
guest?
The protagonists stopped and looked together.
The air was silent, and if one listened carefully, there did seem to be a tiny sound bringing the distance closer.
"She landed almost silently, moved swiftly and skillfully, and she is a woman with excellent physical skills."
Si and An enhanced their hearing, staring at the deep forest with their amber pupils, and reported quietly without blinking.
"I don't know if he came here on purpose or if it was just a coincidence."
"It was probably a coincidence." Qi Heng held the gun at his waist to prevent any accidents. He told his teammates what he saw from a high place. "She was probably avoiding pursuit. I saw her looking back repeatedly."
Ye Yunhe raised his eyebrows.
"It's not far away, the threat is not great, I can just ask her how the battle is going."
"Captain, what do you think?"
She tilted her head and asked.
Lin Muyu finished thinking, he smiled and agreed with Ye Yunhe: "I have no objection, let's do it this way."
There was a flickering light, accompanied by faint thunder, and a ball of lightning condensed in Qi Heng's palm, illuminating the surrounding environment and reflected in the eyes of the four people.
In the dark night, this light is enough to attract attention.
After a brief pause, the sound of dead leaves breaking sounded again, and came accurately in their direction.
A female figure appeared in the darkness. It seemed that her arm was injured. She covered the wound and looked alertly. Her face was hidden in the darkness and could not be seen clearly, but one could feel her sharp gaze.
Qi Heng shook the thunder ball and greeted her.
"Hello, please rest assured, we have no intention of fighting at the moment." Lin Muyu stepped forward and nodded politely to the woman, "We can give you medicine. In exchange, can you tell us what happened over there?"
After entering the illusion, contestants start with only weapons, but can find hidden medicines and magical spells in the deep forest.
Of course, there will be traps, whether they are man-made or fixed data.
Rather than calling it a fantasy, it is more like a large-scale real-life confrontation game.
The person hiding behind the tree started thinking, and when she saw Qi Heng's face clearly in the light, she was stunned.
The lighting of the thunder ball can be regarded as a gesture of goodwill. Four against one, he can't escape even if he runs, so he might as well take a gamble on his luck.
The woman made up her mind, came out from behind the obstacle, and walked towards the four people with her arms folded: "Okay, but I was not brought here by other teams, but by the trap that came with the illusion."
"But I also saw some things on my way out, and I can tell you that."
Her face was revealed in the light, causing the protagonists to be stunned for a few moments.
"Hey, it's you. I remember you gave us sunglasses." The excited face in his memory and the gloomy face in front of him overlapped, and Si Yuan said with some surprise.
"Yes, it's me."
The girl nodded decisively in acknowledgment.
"I have a request. Can you prepay the medicine? I think I'm bleeding a little too much."
"If I don't bandage it, I might lose too much blood and go into shock."
Ye Yunhe took out the corresponding medicine from the captain's "bottomless" pocket, carefully tore open the package and handed it to her.
The girl took it immediately, and quickly applied medicine and bandaged it. Her technique was very skillful and fast, and the small golden bell tied with a red rope on her wrist was shaking.
Ye Yunhe looked down at the small gold ingot on his wrist and said to himself, "It's quite classy."
After a while, the girl finished bandaging the wound.
She breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the remaining medicine in her hand with envy. She closed her eyes, quickly stuffed the items back into Ye Yunhe's arms, and said thank you.
"Thank you, you are so nice."
Clearing her throat, she recalled the scene she had seen not long ago as agreed.
"You also heard the incessant broadcasting, right? I was not far away at the time and saw three teams working together to hunt down a small team."
"It was too dark. I only took a quick glance and didn't look carefully. I was afraid of being targeted and killed. In addition, I was separated from my teammates by 80,000 miles because of the trap. I was also injured. I was very upset and kept running in the opposite direction."
"What is your ability?" Qi Heng asked suddenly, "I didn't notice your breath when we were up high."
"Ah, that's because..."
The girl scratched her messy short hair and frowned a little embarrassedly.
"Because my ability is to reduce my presence, I probably ran for too long and my energy is not very stable... so I was exposed."
The four of them understood.
No wonder he was able to run for so long without being noticed.
However, reducing presence? The person that this ability corresponds to in intelligence is——
"Fu Ling, my name is Fu Ling."
Perhaps because she thought that superpowers were related to self-introduction, after talking about superpowers, the girl patted her chest and introduced her name.
"He's a casual psychic who teamed up with others to try his luck in the competition."
"I just accidentally got eliminated in the first round, and got injured shortly after the team competition started."
Although her experience was not very pleasant, the girl named Fu Ling was still confident and spoke in a high-handed and carefree voice.
Ye Yunhe and Si Yu'an admired her spirit very much. Seeing this, they patted their chests and prepared to introduce themselves.
Fu Ling stopped him with an "eh".
"There's no need to introduce yourself. You guys are the first place in the group battle and the team with the most points. Not only your name, but also your face has been recognized by others."
She counted on her fingers, "When we were running away, I heard a lot of teams asking about your location."
The fact is that she was asking. After all, who wouldn’t envy the team with the most points? Even if they can’t beat them, it would be okay to cling to their powerful ones and get a ranking, right?
With his eyes moving nimbly, Fu Ling glanced at Lin Muyu, who was smiling gently, and Qi Heng, who was looking down coldly, and gave a thumbs up and asked curiously:
"You guys hid it so well that even someone like me with a low sense of presence has to admit defeat. How did you do it?"
This look is similar to the time when I gave him the sunglasses.
Lin Muyu did not answer, but asked with a little doubt: "The transaction is over, aren't you going to find your teammates?"
Hearing these words that seemed to be trying to drive the guests away, Fu Ling felt uneasy. She laughed and waved her hands, with a conflicting feeling in her mind.
After a fierce ideological struggle, the girl finally made up her mind and closed her eyes to do it: "Actually, I want to ask, big guys, do you mind having an extra leg pendant?"
"My teammates are not very reliable. The trap at the beginning was their own fault. I feel so sorry for it."
"Besides, I only need to get a few points. I promise I won't hold you back or backstab you. I will also use my supernatural powers to eavesdrop on intelligence. If anything goes wrong, I will definitely take care of it myself!!"
“…”
Shocked by this unprecedented scene, the four fell silent for a moment and looked at each other subconsciously.
After this incident, we can only say that the other party is indeed very cautious about their safety and is always paying attention to whether there will be any enemy attacks. Although there were many exclamation marks in the words, the sound was not actually very loud. It was just an illusion created by Fu Ling's strained facial features.
As for taking her with me...
Actually, it’s not impossible.
After all, the main goal is not to win the championship. Through the conversation with the superior, we can also learn from the other party's hints that the danger is actually the same inside and outside the illusion. In the moment before the attack, no one knows when the threat will appear.
The intelligence during the day only sets the general time, and the focus is still on the preparations in advance.
"Can."
Lin Muyu said, his tone just as gentle as when he was chasing people away.
Fu Ling was unable to react for a moment, and only after her brain worked slowly did she realize that her request had been granted.
Her tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and she looked up at the opposite team in surprise. The corners of her mouth could not help but rise, so outrageous that she had to use her hands to hold it back.
That’s great! I really have good luck. If I work hard, I might be able to get a prize based on my ranking. Even if I’m at the lowest level, I’ll be very satisfied!
Ah, this is as joyful as passing an interview in seconds!
"Thank you, thank you. I promise to make good use of my powers."
Fu Ling clasped his hands together devoutly and waved them continuously.
The protagonists smiled in response.
Qi Heng tilted his head slightly, looked towards the dark forest in the distance, and extinguished the thunder ball in his hand.
The diligent lighting engineer can finally finish his work.
——
According to Fu Ling's words, the five of them walked together in a safer direction.
Of course, he did not forget to leave a mark for Calint and the others.
"Three teams working together to siege a single team?" Si Yuan muttered as he pondered the previous conversation.
The broadcast will only announce the eliminated team, not the team that killed it. Therefore, they had no way of knowing which three teams were working together.
It’s really a headache. How can a team competition include so many factors? It’s like the psychics are being developed as pentagonal warriors.
"Well, let me think about it..."
Realizing that his superiors were quite concerned about this matter, Fu Ling began to recall the past desperately, wishing she could dig out her memories and look at them frame by frame.
Thinking about it this way, I actually came up with something.
She compared the blurry figure in her memory with the reality, and her eyes lit up.
"Based on their size... one of the teams looks more like Lingyun Guild? As for the other two and the one being hunted, I can't tell clearly."
Ye Yunhe was amazed.
"You recognize all this?"
"Don't underestimate me, I have done my homework!" Fu Ling smiled proudly and gestured with great joy.
That was her second choice.
"Anyway, the result is that the entire team being hunted was eliminated. I guess they should continue to look for prey now?"
"That should be it."
Lin Muyu, who was still leading the way at the front, responded.
Lingyun Guild is also a high-level guild. Its ranking in group battles is not ideal. According to their personalities, they would cooperate with others to give it a try.
It is normal. There are people who are afraid of cults and hide their strength, and there are naturally people who are desperate and desire to be the leader.
I just don’t know how they will divide the points between the two teams.
While walking forward, he was thinking secretly. Lin Muyu suddenly noticed the silence of the people around him.
Qi Heng did not choose to walk in the air this time, but decided to stay on the ground and walk side by side with his teammates.
I noticed that the young man didn't say a word and didn't participate in the discussion of the three people behind him. He just walked forward with a cold expression. Lin Muyu couldn't help but sigh helplessly.
As expected, he still keeps his distance from strangers.
The direction of his thoughts changed. After a while, he tilted his head to look at the young man. When the other party looked at him in confusion, he spoke softly:
"The team competition lasts for a day and a half. The weather and sky in the fantasy world may change. We need to find a hidden hiding place to rest."
He raised his eyebrows and said to his fastest and most talented companion in the team:
"I'll have to trouble you then, Xiao Heng."
"Yeah." Qi Heng simply agreed, "It's not that troublesome, it's very simple."
"That's very neat. Remember to tell us as soon as you discover a threat. The government's display screen can be replayed."
"...I know you guys talked about this several times before the game."
"That was what Xiaoye and Yu'an said. This is the first time I'm saying it."
…
At least it's calm now.
