A sudden wave of helplessness washed over Meng Qingyin. She looked at Chen Leying and asked, utterly bewildered, "So, what was the point of all this effort?"
Huang Teng was resurrected, but Zhang Yan and the others... were still dead.
This turn of events was so unexpected. Just a moment ago, she was speculating about Huang Teng's true intentions in collecting the Heart of the Night Demon, and the next moment, this unstoppable event occurred.
It's as if everything was predetermined, and no matter how hard they try, they can't change the established outcome.
Chen Leying's eyes were also filled with grief. She placed her hands on Meng Qingyin's shoulders and said in a more serious tone, "Listen to me, don't think about anything right now. Go and get some sleep. When you wake up, we still have to face it. Zhang Yan and the others are dead, but we are still alive. There are still hundreds of thousands of players in District 30 who are still alive! We cannot give up hope of survival."
Meng Qingyin stared at her for a long time before slowly shaking her head and saying, "I haven't given up hope of living, but I suddenly feel very lost. Can we really defeat Huang Teng? Can we really... leave this world of survival game?"
Ye Yingjun couldn't help but say, "My lord, you are now on Night Orchid Star, which means you've escaped the world of the survival game. This is a small step towards success! We absolutely cannot yield to Huang Teng!"
Night Orchid Star...
By the way, she's on Night Orchid Star right now!
Ye Yingjun is right; at least for now, she has escaped the world of the survival game.
As long as you don't give up, there is still hope!
Meng Qingyin's confused mind cleared up.
Now that Huang Teng has been resurrected, let's find a way to locate the foundation rock so that the players can escape this damned survival game!
Meng Qingyin looked down at Ye Taohua, her heart aching: "Ye Yingjun, what will happen to the dead Night Demon?"
Ye Yingjun's face was also filled with sorrow: "Their bodies will gradually transform into demonic energy, nourishing the Night Demon people of Night Orchid Star. And their hearts will be preserved forever."
Meng Qingyin's eyes welled up with tears. "When the time comes, keep his heart safe and keep it as a memento."
At least the night peach blossoms left behind a heart, but Zhang Yan, Zhao Lan, Lin Qian, and Xiang Qian left nothing behind.
"What are you thinking?" Night Peach Blossom, who was "dead" on the ground, suddenly spoke up, clutching her stomach and looking pained. "My stomach hurts so much."
Ye Yingjun screamed in fright and jumped onto Meng Qingyin, his voice trembling: "She's come back to life!"
Fortunately, he was in human form now; if he were in his Night Demon form, he would have crushed Meng Qingyin to death.
Meng Qingyin shook him off and looked at Ye Taohua in surprise: "Ye Taohua, are you alright?!"
"How come I'm alright? My stomach is killing me!" Ye Taohua cried out, clutching her stomach.
After the initial surprise, Meng Qingyin wondered what exactly had happened.
Why is Bill, one of the five clones, not here? Instead, Night Peach Blossom is connected by that thin thread.
Chen Leying slowly explained the situation at the time: "When Lear teleported the other three over, we subdued Bill immediately and made Night Peach eat him. Lear was furious and wanted to kill Night Peach, so we fought with her. But just then, Snake Bing appeared. He appeared behind the cave, and suddenly an altar appeared in the teleportation array, along with the phoenix feather. As soon as Lear saw the phoenix feather, he stopped fighting us and sat directly on the altar, channeling his power into the phoenix feather."
Chen Leying paused, her expression grim. "The phoenix feather split off a thin thread, which first wrapped around Snake C. No matter how much Snake C struggled, he couldn't break free. In just a few seconds, the phoenix feather drained all his power. I sent you a message when I saw things were going wrong, but the thread still managed to entangle Zhang Yan and the others..."
The rest is self-explanatory.
Meng Qingyin understood: "So, the reason why Ye Taohua was entangled by the thin thread is because he ate Bill."
"That should be the case." Chen Leying also guessed so.
"So it seems that the condition for Huang Teng's resurrection is not that all five clones are alive; he only needs to gather all five clones together," Meng Qingyin said.
After all, Bill was already dead at that time.
Qin Jiu sighed: "We were so naive back then that we thought we could stop him from being resurrected as long as we killed Bill... We never expected that Huang Teng had such a backup plan."
Meng Qingyin's gaze darkened. "Even She Bing is part of the Phoenix Teng Plan."
The altar appeared only after Snake Bing arrived at the cave, which is definitely not a coincidence.
Huang Teng must have done something to She Bing, making She Bing part of his resurrection plan. It's just unclear whether She Bing knew about it.
She Bing was most likely unaware of the situation. How could someone as cunning and treacherous as him sacrifice himself to revive Huang Teng?
Furthermore, what role did Huang Teng play in the process of Snake Bing collecting the remains of ancient giant beasts?
Or perhaps, Huang Teng simply wanted to resurrect the ancient behemoth?
Meng Qingyin became increasingly alarmed as she thought about it.
Suddenly, she received a message from Jiang Hanmei: "Boss, are you still in the dungeon? The weather outside has changed! 007 announced that there will be a big server merge soon, putting all players into one server!"
Meng Qingyin was startled. "When did this happen?"
Hanmei: "The announcement was just released, and the server merge is in half an hour. I feel like the main system has no good intentions."
Without a doubt, it must have been Huang Teng who did it!
What does he want to do?
Meng Qingyin told everyone the news in a deep voice, and Lu Cheng was furious: "What exactly is Huang Teng trying to do? Is there really nothing we can do about him?"
Meng Qingyin suddenly looked at Ye Yingjun: "You fought Huang Teng back then, how is his strength compared to before?"
Ye Yingjun said reluctantly, "That damned Huang Teng has become much stronger, I'm no match for him anymore! He was clearly no match for me before!"
Meng Qingyin sensed something was amiss: "Since his strength has increased so much, why doesn't he take this opportunity to kill us?"
Huang Teng has meticulously planned all this; he must be a shrewd person. How could he let a tiger return to the mountain and leave himself with trouble?
Even if he was too lazy to bother with these players, he had sealed Ye Yingjun away for a thousand years, and the two were mortal enemies who were now locked in a life-or-death struggle. How could he not come to hunt down Ye Yingjun?
This is very unusual.
Could it be...?
Is Huang Teng unable to leave Phoenix Mountain for some reason?
Thinking of this, Meng Qingyin immediately said to Ye Yingjun, "Take me to Niutou Valley."
She has to verify it herself.
If Huang Teng truly cannot leave Phoenix Mountain, then there is much they can do.
Without saying a word, Ye Yingjun took her directly to Niu Tou Valley.
