The two went directly to Niu Meng.
Seeing the solemn expressions on their faces, Niu Meng couldn't help but feel a little nervous: "Sir, what...what happened?"
Has his slacking off been discovered?
But he really didn't know where to find clues about the bedrock!
He asked Maohe, but Maohe knew nothing. Shebing was nowhere to be found, so who else could he ask?
Seeing his guilty look, Meng Qingyin guessed what was going on and felt that Niu Meng was even more unreliable.
But now, only Niu Meng can help her verify what she thinks.
She took a piece of milk candy from her system inventory and handed it to Niu Meng, who ate it without asking any questions.
After finishing, he said with a lingering look of satisfaction, "It was so sweet! Sir, do you have any more? Could I have another piece?"
"You mean poison?" Meng Qingyin asked abruptly. "Enough for everyone."
Niu Meng's expression changed drastically, his anger mixed with a hint of grievance: "What do you mean by this? Even if I did a poor job, there's no need to poison me, is there?"
Meng Qingyin: "Huang Teng has been resurrected."
Niu Meng was shocked: "Huh? So he knows about my betrayal?"
Meng Qingyin: "It's no use regretting it now. Cooperate with me to investigate some things, and maybe you'll still have a way out."
Although Niu Meng was foolish, he wasn't beyond redemption. He knew he absolutely couldn't show any regret to Meng Qingyin, otherwise, if he were abandoned by both sides, the Minotaur Clan would be truly finished!
"Submitting to the Night Demon Clan was the best decision I ever made, and I have no regrets!" he said confidently.
Although his expression was as resolute as if he were about to join the Party, Meng Qingyin had not dispelled her suspicions about him.
"The poison I just gave you is called Soul-Severing Powder. If you don't take the antidote by this time tomorrow, your intestines will rupture and your soul will be annihilated," Meng Qingyin said sinisterly.
She had to make sure Niu Meng didn't mess things up.
Upon hearing this, Niu Meng turned pale with fright: "My lord, I have absolutely no ill intentions towards you!"
Meng Qingyin: "As long as you do one thing for me, I will naturally give you the antidote."
Niu Meng hurriedly said, "I am willing to go through fire and water for you."
“I don’t need you to go through fire and water for me,” Meng Qingyin beckoned, “come closer to my ear.”
Niu Meng leaned closer, and Meng Qingyin whispered something to him.
Niu Meng: "Don't worry, sir, it's a small matter."
Meng Qingyin was still worried and reminded him again: "If you mess this up, you'll be in serious trouble, your intestines will be torn apart and your soul will be scattered."
Niu Meng shuddered. "I promise I won't mess it up!"
Meng Qingyin: "Go."
Niu Meng's figure quickly disappeared.
"My lord, Niu Meng wouldn't betray us, would he?" Ye Yingjun asked, looking in the direction he had left.
Meng Qingyin: "Although Niu Meng is not smart, he can weigh the pros and cons. He has already betrayed Huang Teng, and we are his backers. Even if he switches to Huang Teng's camp, Huang Teng will not trust him wholeheartedly because of his betrayal. He has no other choice. Moreover, I also gave him poison, which is a double insurance."
"Soul-Severing Powder, is there really such a terrifying poison?"
Meng Qingyin smiled but remained silent.
...
Phoenix Mountain.
"You mean, that player named Meng Qingyin and the Night Demon Clan are currently in Bull Head Valley?" A hint of killing intent flashed in Huang Teng's eyes.
Niu Meng said respectfully, "Yes, sir, they want to turn me against them and persuade me to join their camp! Of course I will not betray you, but I can't beat Ye Yingjun. Could you step in and help me drive Ye Yingjun away? Or, could you just kill him and be done with it?"
After pondering for a moment, Huang Teng said, "You try to keep them calm first, and I will deal with the Night Demon Clan completely."
Niu Meng said anxiously, "But they are in Niu Tou Valley right now. If I don't agree, Ye Yingjun has threatened to massacre everyone in Niu Tou Valley! I really have no other choice but to come to you for help."
Huang Teng still didn't agree: "If you're afraid of Ye Yingjun, then hide in Phoenix Mountain for a while. Do you think Ye Yingjun can stay in Niu Tou Valley forever?"
Niu Meng said righteously, "How can I abandon my people? Besides, what if Ye Yingjun attacks Phoenix Mountain?"
Huang Teng was ambitious: "He is no match for me now, but in the future... I will unify all races and place the Phoenix Clan at the top of all races."
Niu Meng, understanding the situation, knelt down and shouted, "My lord, your imperial ambitions are just around the corner! My Minotaur tribe is willing to follow you forever."
Huang Teng waved his hand, "You figure out how to keep Ye Yingjun calm."
Niu Meng: "...Yes."
He left Phoenix Mountain and returned to Niutou Valley.
Meng Qingyin and Ye Yingjun were waiting for him.
Niu Meng dared not hide anything and told Meng Qingyin every word of his conversation with Huang Teng.
Meng Qingyin understood; Huang Teng indeed could not leave Phoenix Mountain now.
Moreover, it seems there were other gains as well.
Unexpectedly, Huang Teng wanted to unify all races.
From this perspective, it's a foregone conclusion that Huang Teng wants to resurrect the ancient behemoth, and She Bing is merely his tool.
It's unclear exactly which remains of the ancient behemoths Snake C collected.
The Healing Bone is on their side, so we must protect Fei Qiu and never let the Healing Bone be taken away.
Just then, someone sent me a message.
Hanmei: "This is insane! This stupid game is insane! The first thing they did after merging the servers was to make players kill each other!"
Meng Qingyin's heart sank. "What's going on?"
Hanmei: "This stupid game has created a power ranking system with a bottom-ranking elimination system. Every hour, the bottom 10% of players are eliminated! And the only way to accumulate power is by killing people! Now everyone is in danger. It's even more insane than that 'Path of the Strong' game! Has the main system gone mad?"
Meng Qingyin gritted her teeth. It wasn't the main system that went crazy; it was Huang Teng who caused this!
Players are less than ants in his eyes, probably just objects of his amusement.
"Ye Yingjun, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to take me to Phoenix Mountain again," Meng Qingyin said.
Huang Teng holds the power of life and death in the game, and if you want to stop humans from killing each other, you must go to see Huang Teng.
Ye Yingjun hesitated this time, "My lord, Huang Teng's strength is above mine, I'm afraid I can't protect you well."
He wasn't worried about his own safety, but rather about not being able to protect her.
Meng Qingyin felt a pang of sadness. "But we have no other choice now."
With 10% of players being eliminated every hour, coupled with players killing each other to survive, everyone will eventually die in the game.
In the world of survival games, there are villains, and villains deserve to die, but there are many more people who fight their hardest to survive.
They had barely survived until now, and Huang Teng could wipe out all their efforts with just a flick of his finger. Could there be anything more despairing than this?
Ye Yingjun: "Let's go back to Yelan Star and discuss it with Chen Leying and the others. Maybe we can come up with another solution. Also, regarding Huang Teng's sudden increase in strength, I always feel that there's something strange about it. If we can find out the reason for his sudden increase in strength, maybe we can change everything."
