The Ace of Swords splits into three, and the Ten of Swords and Nine of Swords appear behind Fu Guan.
Three cards, a total of twenty swords, all thrust towards Chen Shu on the ground, each hitting its target precisely.
However, not a drop of blood flowed from Shen Shu's body. He shook out the sword stuck in his body, twitched the corner of his mouth in an ambiguous way, and collapsed into a pool of flesh and blood and disappeared.
Taking advantage of this opening, Zhuang Zexian, who had been pushed down by Sheh, escaped the killing intent.
He took off his leather jacket, revealing his mechanized body parts. The mechanical structure rotated in reverse with a crackling sound, and his skin rapidly transformed into a sturdy cannon barrel, like liquid metal.
Zhuang Zexian fired a shot at the ground and used the impact to leap back onto the paper airplane.
He first glanced at Shekh, then glared at his three teammates behind him.
"That's quite something. You're sitting on my paper airplane, not even planning to get down and pull me up, huh?"
Several teammates shifted their attention, saying, "We didn't push you down..."
"We're already short-handed, so we can't risk our lives, right?"
"Stop." Fu Guan threw out four swords, each blade grazing the faces of the four men.
"Resolve conflicts privately, and don't delay other players' time to complete dungeons."
Zhuang Zexian took a step back, his tone somewhat stiff: "You saved me once, so I'll give you face."
He kicked away the person controlling the paper airplane and took back control himself: "The number of people is solved, but where is the thirteenth crystal? Didn't they only say there were twelve when the mission was issued?"
"The thirteenth piece is a hidden quest; it's with me." Shi Jinzhe took out a crystal that had turned gray. "I'll put this one away."
Zhuang Zexian harbored resentment towards Shehe for abandoning her, and she also questioned Shi Jinzhe, who had shared a paper airplane with her, with a disgruntled tone: "Why?"
Shi Jinzhe didn't explain, and simply ignored Zhuang Zexian.
Players from the previous season couldn't leave without the thirteenth crystal, so this crystal, no matter how polluted, is of paramount importance.
A crystal filled with despair, containing black mist, Shen Shu's current state is inextricably linked to this crystal.
If another person is driven mad and an uncontrollable accident occurs, the difficulty of completing the game will increase even further.
He can only feel at ease if he has the biggest changes in his own hands.
Shi Jinzhe reiterated: "I'll put the thirteenth one in the middle, and you can take the rest."
Jiang Yu disagreed: "Shen Shu is also near the central tower. You need to defend against him while placing this crystal. The flesh and blood on the ground will also attack us. In addition, you need to use skills continuously. Doing four things at once will put too much strain on you."
"It has nothing to do with the load; it's that you can't handle this crystal."
Shi Jinzhe looked at Jiang Yinxue and said, "Can you do me a favor?"
Having received approval, he tossed the gray crystal into Jiang Yinxue's hand, using facts to prove his point to her.
Almost instantly, Jiang Jin sensed that Jiang Yinxue's aura had become extremely unfamiliar and chaotic. She had only encountered that chilling and bloodthirsty feeling when she first met Jiang Yinxue.
Cold and aloof, she was unrecognizable to her own family. Because she possessed the Heavenly Primordial Qi, she was buried as a substitute to deceive the heavens by an emperor who desired immortality.
In that ancient tomb instance, he emerged from the ice coffin with such a vengeful aura that he would kill anyone he saw.
Jiang Yinxue restrained herself and pushed Jiang Yi away, her gaze falling on the blood and flesh on the ground, an uncontrollable longing appearing in her eyes.
Shi Jinzhe used the golden vine to sweep away the crystal and activated the purification array to cleanse Jiang Yinxue of the negative influences.
After resting for a while, Jiang Yinxue loosened her grip on the sword hilt: "It's alright now."
Jiang let out a sigh of relief. "Is this a purified crystal? And yet, it's still affected this much?"
"Yes, it was originally black."
Shi Jinzhe held the gray crystal tightly, and in just a short while, the crystal's color returned to its original dark color.
Seeing this, no one else objected.
Since it's a bomb, Shi Jinzhe should handle it carefully.
To ensure that others would avoid the crystal, Shi Jinzhe continued, "Shehe will also stay in the middle with me; she will not participate in the placement of the crystal."
Fu Guanzai's gaze fell on Shekh, and he hesitated slightly: "She doesn't count either?"
"I need her to protect me."
"..."
Fu Guanzai managed his expression well, even though he couldn't understand how someone who had seemed so assertive could so casually say that he needed protection.
However, losing one person wouldn't be a big problem for him, and he nodded to indicate that it was fine.
"Nine people are fine, are there any other problems?"
"How do we place them simultaneously?" Linlang, who had been listening attentively the whole time, asked. "What does 'simultaneous' mean in the game? How much error is involved?"
“I’ll handle this,” Jiang said to her. “You just need to be reassured and trust me with your backs.”
“No problem.” Fu Guan trusted Jiang Ling’s character and agreed immediately.
"Then... what about the crystal? We don't have it. How do we put it?" A woman wearing a green scarf asked from Zhuang Zexian's paper airplane.
Fu Guan asked, "None of you have any?"
The woman in the green scarf skipped over Zhuang Zexian, twirling her finger around, and said, "None of the three of us managed to get one."
Fu Guan frowned and asked Zhuang Zexian, "How many do you have?"
Zhuang Zexian: "Two."
He then asked Jiang Yi, "What about you? We're old acquaintances, so let's not lie to each other now."
Jiang thought about it and agreed, then counted: "Two."
“I have three people and four pills here, so…” Fu Guan looked over as he rushed forward, “You have two people and three pills?”
Shi Jinzhe nodded towards the flames in the square, "There are still two left. Their district can just give one away."
The plan that did not harm the interests of the majority was passed directly, and Zhuang Zexian had no choice but to give one up, whether he wanted to or not.
After a few minutes of discussion, the group agreed on the specific division of labor, and Shi Jinzhe gave Fu Guanzai the two ordinary crystals he had.
He wouldn't be greedy for 160 points if he could get four crystals with his team.
Eleven people put on the headsets they bought from the mall and flew four paper airplanes to find their location.
Shi Jinzhe arrived near the tower and estimated the size of the circular plaza.
With a radius of 500 meters, coordination is no easy task. The other nine people have varying levels of strength, so the protective formation still needs to be activated.
He turned off his headset and said to Sheh, "The hidden Shen Shu will definitely harass me. I'll activate a purification array for you later. There must be a reason why the world boss of the Fallen has the word 'Fallen' in its name. Be careful."
Sheh nodded, understanding what Shi Jinzhe meant: a little fighting was fine, no need to risk her life.
In Shen Shu's year, the thirteenth crystal was not found, so the condition for simultaneous placement did not exist. This is a new requirement added to this round of the dungeon.
Shi Jinzhe forbade her from placing the crystals because he was afraid that the thirteen crystals would become connected, and that the black mist could contaminate her through the other crystals.
Sheh knew that this was a way to protect both people at the same time. Shen Shu targeted Shi Jinzhe because of his life-giving skill; this pile of dead flesh was devoid of any life force, so he wanted to destroy the life force that Shi Jinzhe possessed.
The corrupted world boss is probably considered corrupt because all that remains is deathly aura and carnage.
Shekh sighed silently, and when he heard Shi Jinzhe say to himself, "You've had a hard time, having to fight such an ugly thing."
Sinking Shu means that Shekh has to draw away the hatred of this flesh-and-blood monster and bear most of its attacks. This smell should... not make her feel too good.
"Can you find a way to block out my sense of smell?"
"...I'll give it a try."
After studying it for a while, Shi Jinzhe realized that vision and hearing could be blocked, but smell was the only problem.
Having no other choice, he had to replace the smell with a strong floral fragrance.
“That works too.” Shekh didn’t let him try it again. The fragrance was nice, but the only drawback was that it was too strong, and he couldn’t smell the scent of Shi Jinzhe anymore.
