"Georgia and the others are in the palace now. The location Mu Sicheng told me before is also nearby. Let's go there first." Bai Liu looked up at the top of the mine. "Let's get out of the mine. I'll tell you the details of the clues I found while I'm at it."

Bai Liu looked down at the time he had recorded, then raised his eyes to look at Tang Erda: "In short, you must leave this game before you become a golden sculpture."

"If either you or Mu Sicheng starts to transform into a golden sculpture, I will kill you both and send you out."

Tang Erda took a deep breath: "...I understand."

ancient lorem palace.

The palace of this ancient golden kingdom is an elegant and dignified white dome complex. Inside the palace, there are branch halls of different sizes arranged in an orderly manner. On both sides of the road are spacious gardens and flower beds and exquisite hollow iron street lamps spaced in an orderly manner. The plants in the flower beds are withered and the ground is covered with fallen leaves. This should have been a palace that looked quite dilapidated, but after a thick layer of gold powder fell on it, the palace could not help but look mysterious and luxurious.

Perhaps due to the human instinctive desire for gold, this golden palace has a mysterious magic that attracts people to walk in.

Going up the largest, highest and longest white staircase in the center of the palace, you will reach the main hall, the largest hall in the entire palace. The former King of Guloren met with ministers, priests and messengers in this main hall, celebrating the spring when Guloren started mining every year with the people and welcoming the joyful gold powder falling from the sky.

When Bai Liu and the others stepped onto the first step leading to the main hall, Georgia was in the king's living room on the high floor behind the main hall, silently looking at the golden statue of the king sitting at the long table, with his head resting tiredly on his hands and his eyes half closed.

——This was the king at the moment of Guloren’s demise, his father.

There was a photo on the long table, the same family photo on his bedroom cabinet. The butterfly on Georgia's shoulder looked at the photo and its flapping speed gradually became very slow.

"This is you when you were little." Georgia lowered her eyes, her voice so soft that only Butterfly could hear it, "...This is where you grew up."

"...I'm sorry, Armand, for modifying your memory and deceiving you. We are not poor brothers from a distant town. We are the princes of Guroleng. It is our duty to save and protect this place."

"Just now, I was determined to get a way to fill my eyes with tears from Mu Ke, and I even got a little emotional. It's not just because it's a game, but also because of this reason."

"You think that I didn't care about the lives of my teammates and didn't save Chris and the others. It was an emotional mistake caused by tactical errors," Georgia lowered his head, took off the uniform glove on his right hand, and explained calmly, "You think I should go back to help them and provide them with assistance, right?"

The moment the butterfly saw Georgia's right hand, it flapped violently, flew down, and landed on Georgia's fingertips that were already beginning to turn golden.

"The game is fair to both sides. Our team won the home game and got the hourglass first, so naturally there will be things that restrict us." Georgia took out the hourglass and lowered her eyes to look at the gold sand flowing in the hourglass. "The gold sand in the hourglass is actually made of the Philosopher's Stone."

"No wonder my father buried the hourglass in the mine. He should have known that the gold dust in the hourglass would continue to affect the mine and allow gold to continue to be produced."

"From the beginning, he never gave up the idea of ​​seeking a deal from God."

Georgia paused, then continued:

"We have the home advantage. As the first to get the hourglass, we will naturally be more easily affected by the golden sand in the hourglass and more likely to be transformed into a golden sculpture. This is our first limitation. When I don't know what effect this golden sculpture, which does not reduce the health and spirit points, will have on the team members, I will not easily prolong the game at the cost of sacrificing the lives of my teammates."

"Victory at the cost of sacrifice is meaningless to Golden Dawn, so I chose to let Bai Liu clear them out of the game."

"I still can't understand what happened in Gu Luolun at that moment, nor do I understand what this golden sculpture means." Georgia raised his eyes, waved his left hand, and a glittering golden leaf bow appeared in front of him. He gently grasped it and whispered, "...I can't let these innocent team members stay in this desolate Gu Luolun and experience the same thing as the three game team members back then."

"But I chose to keep you here, Armand."

"Winning this game and winning the final league victory is not Golden Dawn's mission, but it is your mission and mine."

"The ancient kingdom of Loren has sunk into the sea for ten years, and I have also been guarding it by the sea for ten years." Georgia looked at the butterfly in her palm and gently touched the butterfly's wings with her left hand. "Compared with this ancient golden kingdom, human life is only a short moment. I don't know how long I can guard it. How many painful tears must I shed to be worth a thousand years of gold, to fill this hourglass of time, and to end my father's deal with the evil god."

"The Prophet told me that you can find heretical copies corresponding to reality in the game. I have been immersed in the game until now just to find the copy corresponding to Gu Luolun, and get clues from this copy to find the solution to the Hourglass of Time."

"I have now finally found a copy of this."

Georgia raised his eyes and looked at his father who was sitting at the long table with a sad and depressed look on his face. "But in this copy, apart from looking at the people around me again and seeing myself transformed into a golden sculpture, it was actually the same as ten years ago—"

"—without the ability to protect them."

"My pain still cannot fill this hourglass."

The butterfly flapped its wings, and the wind blew past Georgia's ears, ruffling his long light brown hair, but he pretended not to hear it and just whispered:

“…Now I can’t even shed tears.”

——Just like the tears he shed when he saw Gu Luolun sinking to the bottom of the sea ten years ago, they had already drained away all his pain.

Georgia heard steady footsteps behind him. He grasped the golden leaf bow, turned back, pulled the bow fully, gathered all his strength, raised his eyes, aimed at Bai Liu who was walking behind him, and shot an arrow without hesitation.

The arrow flew through the air and was caught by Bai Liu's right hand. He smiled at Georgia who was standing on the high steps, raised his hands to indicate that he was harmless, and said jokingly:

"It seems that the prince of this country does not welcome me as a guest."

"I'm just here to negotiate a deal with you. You don't have to fight me right from the start, do you?"

[It seems that your country does not welcome a businessman like me. ]

Georgia's pupils shrank slightly. He grasped the golden bow, and his right hand, which was about to turn into gold, gently released the arrow.

...the same high-altitude perspective, the same smiling voice, the same black-gloved hands, the same arrows shot from within the ancient walls filled with ferocity and murderous intent.

He is also an uninvited guest who came from afar and possesses mysterious powers.

Lu Yizhan's complicated attitude towards this person, the rules and skills that can trade souls, the bad tactics, and the similar body shape and height...

The golden arrow crossed the space between Georgia and Bai Liu as if traveling through time and space, and brought him back to ten years ago in an instant.

If Bai Liu only looked evil, but actually acted with principles and did good things, and was even different from the Bai Liu in Georgia's dream, and completely different from the core of that god, Georgia would have asked this question the first time she saw Bai Liu: "What is your relationship with God?"

"So sharp?" Bai Liu kept his hands raised high and smiled, "Although I personally don't want to admit it, but as a trader, I will answer you honestly."

"I should be considered the successor unilaterally chosen by the evil god who is so idle that he wants to die."

"Heir..." Georgia opened his eyelids, and his long light-colored eyelashes were coated with a layer of gold powder. He put down the bow in his hand and raised it straight again, aiming the tip of the bow at Bai Liu's heart. "So you are here to fulfill the deal and take the suffering of the people?"

"No." Bai Liu smiled, "I'm here to terminate the transaction."

"I know how to fill the hourglass of time."

Tang Er, who was standing in front of Bai Liu on guard, heard that Bai Liu continued to lie to Georgia. He was shocked and whispered, "Georgia is the director of the Third Bureau who came from interrogation and investigation. She will definitely be able to tell that you are lying!"

Georgia narrowed his narrow eyes slightly and stopped the arrow he had raised.

...This guy doesn't seem to be lying.

The butterfly on his shoulder flapped its wings gently, and the wind blew up Georgia's long hair. Georgia held the arrow and raised it again. The tiny emotions in his eyes returned to calm without any trace: "I know, Armand."

"I will not fall into the trap of a lying heir of the evil god again."

Although the Mu Ke that Bai Liu had thrown out before passed his lie prop test, it did not reveal any useful information until the last moment. That could only mean one thing - Bai Liu, the shameless tactician, had deceived his own team members just to buy them time.

"Tsk." Bai Liu looked at Georgia who had fully drawn her bow and the butterfly that began to flap its wings with regret, "You don't trust me anymore after being fooled once."

"No normal person would be fooled by the same trap twice, right?" Tang Erda stood in front of Bai Liu helplessly, "Georgia should have realized quickly that you were tricking him with Mu Ke, but since he was tricked, it would be better to get rid of Mu Ke instead of wasting so much time."

Bai Liu stroked his chin and said innocently, "But I really wasn't lying to him this time, Captain Tang."

"This time I really know how to install an hourglass."

"...What?!" Tang Er turned around in surprise.

Bai Liu looked up at Georgia who was standing high above him, and said calmly, "Lying will pay off. Georgia won't believe us this time."

"We need to fight first before we can have a good chat."

Tang Er's temples were throbbing: "Bai Liu, if you are ready to tell the truth next time, don't play this kind of wolf game to play with the other party!"

"Okay, Captain Tang." Bai Liu smiled and pulled out the whip on his waist, "I'll definitely do it next time."

Georgia lowered his eyes, and the moment he released the arrow, a butterfly flew down from his shoulder and landed on the edge of the golden leaf arrow. It was instantly covered with a layer of golden light. The butterfly flapped its wings quickly, and the arrow shot towards the white willow below.

[System prompt: Player Georgia used her skills to reverse the time of (Hurricane Butterfly), and the (Hurricane Butterfly) skills were reset.]

[System prompt: Monster Book player Armand uses skill (Chain Hurricane)]

Countless twisting golden hurricanes rose into the sky, with chains surging wildly in them, entangled with a flowing net that blocked the front of the palace. The wind covering the net flowed violently, trying to crush and kill the predators who entered the hurricane.

The hurricane rolled up the fallen branches and debris on the ground, forming an inward-facing wind vortex that sucked all the gold dust in the country towards it, forming a huge and sticky golden storm that was almost like a physical entity. In such a high-density golden storm, visibility was terribly low, and one had to be vigilant against chains that could attack from all directions at any time, like a dragnet, and had to keep moving at all times.

——Tang Er was jogging, holding the gun tightly and clenching his teeth.

Visibility is low, the target is unclear, interference is high, the shooter needs to distract himself and keep moving at high speed - this is simply the most unsuitable situation for shooting.

In just a moment, the entire huge open space in front of the palace was swept away by the hurricane, and nothing could be seen.

At the same time, there is a large screen in the viewing pool.

All that could be seen on the screen was a rolling golden storm, which was just like a top-level sandstorm. One could only vaguely see a chain twisting like a snake and some rolled-up objects flying out from time to time, and even the player's figure could not be seen.

In such a tense situation, the audience stretched their eyes wide, trying to find the specific figures of the two players on the golden big screen, but they were so dizzy that they couldn't see anything.

The host even applied for a magnifying glass prop, trying to find some clues about the two players on the big screen for explanation, but in the end he had no choice but to give up and analyze the battle situation in front of the big screen:

"After Bai Liu sent away one of his own team members, he attacked again and again, sending away three of the other team members in succession. Just when we thought that the veteran team Golden Dawn was the first to lose two members and was about to fall into a disadvantage, their team's newcomer Armand attacked strongly!"

"Look at this golden storm filling the screen!"

"Armand's skills have both high protection and high attack capabilities, and he can even fight on two fronts. With Georgia's strong support, Armand's skills can have unlimited cooldown, which is equivalent to one person being able to counteract the effects of two people in the entire game. In other words, on the surface, Golden Dawn has been reduced to two members and has fallen into a disadvantage, but in reality, because of Armand's existence, they are still equivalent to having three members, and there is no disadvantage of reducing the number of members."

"——This is exactly what happened. Shiraishi's roaming member Mu Sicheng was held back by Armand's original body and now has no way to rejoin the team. At the same time, Armand stayed by the side of the tactician Georgia and continued to fight. With Georgia's cooperation, he single-handedly held back the circus' main attacker and tactician, causing considerable pressure on the opponent."

"It can be said that Golden Dawn rookie Armand, who had been labeled a flower vase until the playoffs due to his overly flashy butterfly skills and weak league performance, finally got rid of the title of flower vase in this battle. It can be said that he became famous in one battle!"

The host looked at the golden storm on the big screen, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and continued to explain: "The circus is in a different situation. Their situation is not optimistic!"

"First, the tactician went crazy and sent his own treatment room to a weird operation. Then the main attack gunner hunter was completely unable to exert his combat effectiveness in such a storm. Finally, the roamers were dragged down. It was clear from the tactician's attitude on the court that he valued the roamers so much, but so far, the roamers have not shown any effect."

"It can be said that in this game, the tactician's command and the coordination between the players can only be described in four words - that is, 'a complete mess'."

"Although there are only two members left on the Golden Dawn team, they work together very well. It can be said that they are truly brothers. It's as if they have telepathy. With the help of some simple communication tools, Georgia was able to accurately find the position of Armand's butterfly in such a dark golden storm, shoot arrows to reset the opponent's skills, and keep the hurricane attack uninterrupted. This kind of cooperation is really pleasing to the eye..."

The host was still talking, but Wang Shun could not hear a word. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, circling around Mu Ke and Jia Yi who had withdrawn from the competition: "Did Bai Liu tell you about the next tactics?!"

Mu Ke and Liu Jiayi looked at each other and shook their heads honestly: "I must have been deceived by Bai Liu."

"But deceiving me should be part of Bai Liu's tactics, but as for the rest, I don't know."

"In order to let you fool Georgia and the others during the interrogation, Bai Liu will not tell you the next plan." Liu Jiayi said in a deep voice, with his hands crossed under his chin, his eyes staring at the big screen, and he seemed to see through everything. "The tactics of this Bai Liu gang are still as chaotic as before."

Wang Shun's eyes lit up: "So, little witch, do you know Bai Liu's next plan?"

Liu Jiayi paused: "...I don't know."

Mu Ke: “…”

Wang Shun: “…”

If you don't know, just say you don't know! Don't act like you know everything!

"But the host is right. We are indeed at a disadvantage." Liu Jiayi shrugged. "Not only is Tang Erda's skills restricted, but Mu Sicheng has not returned to the team. There is also a more fatal point. If I am not mistaken, Tang Erda's attack will be restricted soon."

"White Willow will order him not to hurt Georgia."

Wang Shun's eyes widened: "What?! Captain Tang is not allowed to hurt Georgia?!"

In the game, Tang Erda's eyes turned red as the golden powder blew on them. He raised his gun and searched for his target repeatedly in the storm.

Armand turned into a butterfly and was almost completely invisible in such a storm. Tang Erda could only look for one target, and that was Georgia - as long as he cleared Georgia out of the game, Armand would be without support and would go into CD. At that time, they only needed to clear out Armand, the last player, and they would win!

"Captain Tang." Tang Erda's communicator rang, and Bai Liu's calm voice came from it, "I know what you are thinking, but Georgia cannot be kicked out of the game."

"I can tell you honestly that he is the core of this dungeon. The solution to this dungeon must be found on Georgia. We all know that dungeons will land in reality. If the solution is not found in the game, it will cause a large number of casualties when it lands in reality. When I traded souls with you, I promised you that I would try my best to solve every dungeon to ensure the safety of reality."

"Captain Tang, calm down. There is scale powder in this storm that reduces your morale."

Tang Erda suddenly came to his senses. He took a deep breath, put down his gun, opened the system panel and took out the mental bleach. After restoring his critical mental value to above the safety line, Tang Erda replied, "I know. I won't touch Georgia."

"Is there anything you need me to do?"

"Yes, and it's a very difficult task." Bai Liu paused, "Can I ask Captain Tang to shoot the butterfly that Armand has transformed into within fifteen minutes in this storm?"

Tang Er was stunned.

- To shoot a fragile butterfly only a few centimeters in size that is using the storm to protect itself in such a completely abnormal, man-made storm with visibility less than one meter is impossible for any shooter in the world.

In the storm, Georgia was able to shoot arrows towards Armand's direction and reset Armand's skills. This was a bizarre operation that could be called telepathy between brothers - this was when they were teammates and could communicate, and Armand completely cleared the rear to maintain visibility for Georgia's archery.

Tang Er attacked from the front, facing the place with the highest concentration of gold powder. Visibility was almost non-existent, and he also had to be wary of Armand's chains and scale powder. He had to use a more precise tool like bullets to shoot the butterflies. His interference could be said to be ten times that of Georgia.

And it was within fifteen minutes.

Hong Tao held her chin up while looking at the big screen, and said lazily, "I don't know much about shooting, but I was shocked when I heard this request."

"Phoebe, you are a professional. Can you analyze whether this request is possible to accomplish?"

Phoebe's face went numb the moment she heard Bai Liu's request. "Bai Liu asked the hunter to shoot a butterfly in a storm of this magnitude, which is like asking a fisherman to kill a fish no longer than 30 centimeters with a needle on a boat in a stormy sea, and he also set a time limit."

"No matter how accurate a fisherman is, he can't do what's required. At least I can't do it."

"There are quite a few sharpshooters in my family." Phoebe spread her hands. "If they receive such a request, they will be so angry that they will assassinate the head of the family. This is teasing them."

"Instead of fulfilling this unreasonable request, I think it would be easier for Mr. Hunter to just kill Bai Liu, the bad tactician, and change the sect."

Phoebe smiled sweetly. She held her face in her hands and looked at Tang Erda with longing. "The King's Guild will welcome such a strong main attacker."

"Queen, how much do you think I should offer to get Jiayi and Hunter here together?"

Hong Tao was silent for a while.

He could completely understand Phoebe's thoughts. After he left, the King's Guild lost a trump card and was short of people. Tang Erda's high-intensity main attack just fit Phoebe's strong tactics. It was normal for her to want to dig into Tang Erda's corner.

"That depends on how much Bai Liu is willing to sell to you." Hong Tao's eyes smiled, "It's unlikely that you can expect the people of the Wandering Circus to switch to other guilds on their own."

"But if you ask for a higher price, Bai Liu should be willing to sell his team members to you."

"On the island, you should have contacted them privately, right? No one wanted to leave, right? I was the one who created the opportunity for you."

Phoebe fell into a strange silence. She slammed her leg with a gloomy face: "...I just can't understand why such an unreasonable and self-centered tactician like Bai Liu can have so many people following him?"

"There are several hunter guilds trying to recruit people. I know that the top guild, Kabala, has offered 6 million points per month, as well as the highest right to use the item library. This is basically equivalent to using the authority of a vice president to recruit people. Moreover, they are not asking the person to leave now, but are willing to wait until next year. This is already very sincere."

"The hunter refused immediately!"

"...and Jiayi..." Phoebe took a deep breath, trying to control her increasingly ferocious expression. "As long as Jiayi is willing to come over, I am willing to be her secondary controller and main attacker. She will be the tactician."

"She is obviously no worse than Bai Liu in every way and has the ability to lead a team, but she just rejected me!"

Hong Tao looked thoughtfully at Jia Yi who was sitting on a long bench next to the big screen.

...Guilds that felt they were about to lose this year and those that had already lost began to prepare for next year's league. Like hungry wolves, these guilds began to closely eye the fat piece of meat that was the Wandering Circus.

The Wandering Circus guild does not have enough members, has a special structure, and has average inventory of guild props. There is nothing worth snatching up. The most valuable members of the entire guild are the members of the competition team, especially Liu Jiayi and Tang Erda. Not only do they have valuable skills, but their performance in the competition is also so outstanding that many teams that feel they are only one good player away from the championship are envious of them.

These guilds are waiting covetously for the moment when the Wandering Circus is eliminated, and then they will divide up all the members inside.

——Sometimes, these guilds will make a move before they are even eliminated. Last year, many members of the Killer Sequence were replaced during the process, and they were all poached by other guilds. In the end, the only three permanent members left were Hei Tao, Bai Yi, and Bai Jiamu.

I wonder if Bai Liu, a self-centered guy, can keep his members stable...

"But I find it very strange." After venting her frustration and anger, Phoebe quickly calmed down. She looked at the big screen and asked thoughtfully, "The Bai Liu family has a good eye for selecting team members, which is highly consistent with yours."

"But this thief, Mu Sicheng, I remember the evaluation you gave him when you recruited him, he was above average, right?"

"Bai Liu actually let this guy be the trump card in the first game of the playoffs..." Phoebe frowned, "He doesn't have the ability to be the trump card, right?"

Hongtao raised her eyelids and glanced at Phoebe: "Why do you say that?"

"Because no guild wants to recruit him." Phoebe spread her hands. "Although no guild wants to recruit Mu Ke, I can understand that. As an assassin, he pursues a low sense of presence and a one-hit kill. Therefore, his popularity is low, so it is normal that no guild pays attention to him. Indeed, there are not many guilds that can take on such a special skill."

"But Mu Sicheng is a roamer, so he should be the player who attracts the most attention, but no one is looking for him. This can only mean one thing—"

Phoebe hits the nail on the head: "He's not good enough to get anyone's attention."

"As a roamer, his coordination with his teammates is not advanced, and his ability to dangle the main attacker is also a bit immature. Because his intelligence panel is not high, he relies entirely on the back to analyze intelligence when running around. As a roamer, his basic qualities are generally mediocre. The only bright spots are his high attack speed and high movement speed, and there are no other points."

"And in this crucial match where he played an important part, he failed to show off his high attack speed and high movement speed, two of his rare qualities."

"As a newcomer, he was beaten by Armand, who signed up for the league at almost the same time as him. He also encountered an opponent with skills that could restrain him. The Hunter was able to put pressure on the opponent's core Shield player, Chris, under the protection of three Golden Dawns, buying time for the Tactician. However, Mu Sicheng has not escaped from the Chain Storm because of his reduced spirit value, causing all the pressure to be transferred to the main attacker and Bai Liu."

"I don't understand why Bai Liu let him take the trump card position. Jiayi with the double-sided monster book and the powerful Mr. Hunter are more suitable as the trump card in this game. He is not a high-quality roaming player."

"And in the last game," Hong Tao replied slowly, "you were trapped by a not-so-good roaming move that also killed Liu Ji."

Phoebe was startled.

"When watching a game, we should not only look at the result, but also the process." Hong Tao raised her eyes and said calmly, "Don't be so impatient, Phoebe. Don't judge an enemy easily until the last moment."

"I did rank Mu Sicheng as above average, but that was before he met Bai Liu."

"The current Mu Sicheng is no longer the Mu Sicheng of three months ago."

"Bai Liu has already aroused the strongest desire in this thief's heart."

In-game.

There was a violent hurricane inside and outside the palace. The twisting chains inside almost trapped Tang Er so that he could not move. He gritted his teeth and held the gun tightly in his hand.

To hit a butterfly with a bullet in such a storm... Bai Liu really knew how to give him a difficult problem.

But given the challenge given by the tactician, the main attacker has only one choice - to complete it with all his strength.

Fifteen minutes is almost exactly the CD time of one of Armand's skills. During this period, there will inevitably be a skill interruption. Although Georgia will shoot arrows to help Armand continue his skills, there will be a very slight gap between the two skills.

In this void, the hurricane will pause for a moment and weaken, and if there is any moment when it is most likely to hit a butterfly hiding in the hurricane, it is at this moment.

You only get one chance.

Almost fifteen minutes had passed since the last interruption, and the next one was about to come. Tang Erda slowly clenched the gun in his hand, raised it steadily, and aimed it at a certain place in the air. He took a deep breath, holding back the itchiness and coughing impulse that came out of his throat, and silently counted down in his heart -

nineteen……

Tang Er's palms were sweating and his back was tense. He looked at the gold-powdered wall in front of him in a daze - the last time he was so nervous while shooting was the target test when he entered the third round for the first time.

What grades did he get that time... ?

It seems like——

First.

Outside the palace.

Mu Sicheng, who was chained in the hurricane, lowered his head. He had relied on the antidote left by Jiayi to hold on until now, but the puppet's attack had not slowed down. Instead, it became stronger and stronger, and the hurricane continued - it could only be that this guy's original body had its skills reset.

But now his antidote has been used up and his health is almost at the bottom.

It’s not that I can’t resist, it’s just…

There was no order to resist yet.

The noisy noise of electricity came from the earphones, and Bai Liu's calm voice came out from inside: "Thank you for your hard work."

“It’s time for us to harvest.”

"When Captain Tang hits the butterfly, the cooperation between Georgia and Armand will be temporarily interrupted, preventing him from resetting his skills. The butterfly here will disappear, and Armand on your side will then return to being a normal player."

"Do you remember your mission before the game started?"

Mu Sicheng slowly raised his head, his body covered in blood, his hands and feet trapped by the chains in the wind. He sneered and said in a hoarse voice: "No need to remind me, my memory is not that bad."

"——Killed Golden Dawn's new star player, main attacker Armand, right?"

"Well." Bai Liu said with a smile, "Go ahead, our team's ace thief."

Tang Erda slowed down his breathing, gripped the gun with both hands and raised it to his ear, his pupils seemed to be frozen in one place, with his concentration focused, everything in Tang Erda's field of vision became stagnant like a slow-motion playback, the golden debris in the wind became clearly audible, the sound of the chains rubbing against each other rang rhythmically in his ears, his residual light passed through the gradually subsiding golden storm, he saw Bai Liu who had drawn his whip and was moving quickly towards Georgia above the palace, and he saw the butterfly flapping its wings hidden in the slowly falling gold powder.

He could almost see the butterfly's wings fluttering in the air, spreading out ripples of gold and powder.

The hurricane is about to stop.

Four, three, two...

Georgia pulled the bow to full charge, and stared at Armand in front of him. Just as he was about to let go, Armand turned into a butterfly and flew back sideways, heading towards the direction where Georgia's arrow was shot. Tang Erda's breathing stopped, and he held the gun and aimed at the fluttering butterfly, with only one thought in his mind -

—Hit it.

This was his only chance. If he failed to hit Armand, allowing Armand to continue using his skills, Bai Liu, who was approaching the eye of the storm to stop Georgia, would be instantly killed by Armand's chain.

He has to hit it!

one!!

The hurricane stopped.

"Bang--!!"

"call out--!!"

The moment Tang Erda pulled the trigger, Georgia released her arrows. The silver rose bullet and the golden arrow were shot out almost at the same time. The bullet and the arrow spiraled through the falling wind field and headed towards the butterfly, drawing two streaks in the air.
