Meng Qingyin and Ye Yingjun returned to Yelan Star.
Chen Leying rushed forward and, finding her unharmed, asked, "What's the situation over at Niu Tou Valley?"
Meng Qingyin: "As I thought, Huang Teng is temporarily unable to leave Phoenix Mountain for some reason."
“He can’t leave Phoenix Mountain, but he’ll still cause trouble!” Lu Cheng said angrily. “He created a last-place elimination system to make the players kill each other.”
Meng Qingyin's eyes darkened. "I also received this news. I came back to discuss with you all, to see if we can find a way to stop Huang Teng."
If there's no other way, then we'll have to go to Phoenix Mountain to negotiate with Huang Teng.
Even if they don't have the leverage to negotiate with Huang Teng, if things really come to that, negotiation will be their last hope.
Lu Cheng's smile was somewhat bitter: "How could we possibly have the strength to contend with Huang Teng?"
The scene of Zhang Yan's death was still vivid in his mind. At that time, no matter what he did, he could not save Zhang Yan. It was only at that moment that he clearly realized the power gap between the player and Huang Teng.
Phoenix Vine is the creator of the game world, while they are merely players struggling to survive within it.
The gap between them is too big.
Qin Jiu couldn't stand his dejected look: "Lu Cheng, cheer up! Are you going to boost the enemy's morale and diminish our own? Surrendering without a fight has never been our style. So what if Huang Teng is powerful? He must have his own desires and weaknesses. As long as we can find his weaknesses, we will definitely be able to defeat him!"
Fei Qiu patted Lu Cheng on the shoulder: "Don't think about anything else, just do it."
Lu Cheng didn't actually intend to surrender, but the sense of defeat and helplessness he felt watching Zhang Yan and the others die while he was powerless to do anything about it made him feel suffocated.
After hearing what the two said, he realized that his mindset was problematic and that being so negative was not a good thing.
"Don't worry, I won't overthink it anymore. I need to find a way to stop Huang Teng as soon as possible!" Lu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and said with a determined look in his eyes.
“Since Huang Teng can grant his clone unique abilities, it means he already possesses those abilities. For example, Zhang Yan can teleport between different districts, which means he can teleport,” Meng Qingyin analyzed.
Ye Yingjun agreed with this: "That's right, Huang Teng can indeed do it."
“Zhao Lan and Bill symbolize the good and evil in his heart. Zhao Lan does not have any special abilities, as for Bill... his abilities seem to have been obtained through the Path of the Strong, and he most likely does not have any special abilities either.”
Lu Cheng: "Bill does not have any special abilities, but his initial attributes are higher than others. Zhang Yan told me this when we were chatting."
Mentioning Zhang Yan still brought out the grief in everyone's eyes, but they would not dwell on that emotion any longer.
"Do you think that if we defeat Huang Teng, there's any chance that Zhang Yan and the others might... come back?" Fei Qiu asked, somewhat fancifully.
No one could answer the question, but Fei Qiu's words ignited a flame of hope in everyone's heart.
Meng Qingyin composed herself and continued her analysis: "Xiang Qian's admiration for strength reflects Huang Teng's ambition to unify all races, while Lin Qian's ability is immortality, and she can even reflect the damage she receives... This ability is the most troublesome."
Ye Yingjun had something to say: "But Huang Teng, after being resurrected, does not have this ability."
He and Huang Teng fought bare-handed, and his punches to Huang Teng did not bounce back.
Meng Qingyin knew very little about Huang Teng and couldn't understand the reason behind it.
"Regarding the ability of immortality, that's tentatively settled. Ye Yingjun, do you know of any other abilities Huang Teng possesses?"
Ye Yingjun shook his head: "I don't know much about Huang Teng either. Why don't you ask Niu Meng? He has followed Huang Teng for so many years, he must know something."
Meng Qingyin: "Okay, go and bring Niu Meng to Yelan Star."
Ye Yingjun left and soon brought Niu Meng with him.
Niu Meng didn't dare to breathe loudly.
Meng Qingyin: "Tell me everything you know about Huang Teng."
Niu Meng stammered, "Sir, what do you want to know? Give me a hint, I don't know what you want to hear."
Meng Qingyin: "What abilities does Huang Teng possess?"
Niu Meng scratched his head: "All I know is the phoenix rising from the ashes."
"Be more specific."
"The so-called Phoenix Nirvana is that the Phoenix Clan will undergo a rebirth once in their lifetime. You can think of it as death. The Phoenix Clan is at its weakest during the Nirvana period. Even a hyena can easily kill them. However, the Phoenix Clan's strength will greatly increase after the Nirvana."
Meng Qingyin understood. So Huang Teng split himself into five clones not because he wanted to experience different lives, but because he was going through a rebirth period and his body was extremely weak!
He put his five clones into the game to make sure he wouldn't be killed during the process!
His strength has increased dramatically because he has completed his rebirth!
Can……
Why can't he leave Phoenix Mountain?
"How long is the Nirvana period?" Meng Qingyin asked again.
Niu Meng: "How would I know? The Nirvana period is when the Phoenix Clan is at its weakest. They have kept the secret of the Nirvana period very tightly, and no one knows about it."
The clues in Meng Qingyin's mind became clearer and clearer: "What would happen if the Phoenix Clan ended its Nirvana period prematurely before the time limit had expired?"
Niu Meng's eyes widened: "What will be the consequences? Could I die?"
"They will be trapped on Phoenix Mountain until the Nirvana period ends." Meng Qingyin had already connected all of this.
Once Huang Teng's rebirth period is over, he will begin to take action.
Therefore, this period of time is the perfect opportunity for them to kill Huang Teng.
However, even Ye Yingjun is no match for Huang Teng, so how can they kill him?
Niu Meng seemed to have guessed something, and after hesitating for a long time, he said, "Perhaps you can try the Three-Pointed Knife, that's a divine weapon."
Three-pointed knife?
"But the three-pointed knife is also an item in the game world, right?" Meng Qingyin asked uncertainly.
Even the game world was created by Huang Teng, so how could the items in the game hurt him?
Niu Meng shook his head: "The Trident is very special. Although it was created in the game world, the pure demonic energy it absorbs does not come from the game world. Demonic energy is the source of power for the Night Demon Clan. Coupled with the Trident, this divine weapon, it might really succeed."
After a moment's thought, Meng Qingyin felt that this plan was worth a try.
However, the three-pointed sword has not yet been fully developed; it must first be forged into a true divine weapon.
This is the Night Orchid Star, a place with pure demonic energy; cultivating the Three-Edged Sword shouldn't be difficult here.
Meng Qingyin took out the three-pointed knife from her system inventory.
