But Hongying isn't the kind of person who believes everything others say.
How innocent could this child be, being around Su Deng?
There's no such thing as innocence in this game world.
Hongying said with a faint smile, "You'd better tell the truth, otherwise I won't go easy on you just because you're a child. You can't withstand my torture."
Su Muye frowned. "But I'm telling the truth."
Herru said coldly, "We know Su Deng is nearby, but if we don't tell the truth, even if she comes, she can't save you."
"Hey, I've got a short temper!" Qin Xian couldn't help but rush out first. "Have you guys no shame?! Threatening a child like that?!"
Su Muye tried to run over, but Helru grabbed him by the back of the neck and lifted him up.
An arrow appeared in his hand, and Qin Xian strode forward, shouting, "Let him go!"
"This guy is too impatient." Qiao Zhi sighed, rubbing his forehead.
Su Deng raised an eyebrow and followed him out.
Liu Sangua emerged from behind the tree, his tone nonchalant and aloof, "Do you think I can save him?"
Leaving aside the unfamiliar man, the other three are Su Deng, Qiao Zhi, and Liu Sangua...
The men's expressions tightened.
Hongying squinted, "I heard that Liu Shen and Su Deng teamed up, and now it seems to be true."
Liu Sangua simply said, "Let go of the child in your hands."
“Let him go,” Herru said. “Hand over all the clues you’ve obtained about this level.”
"The key is in the river over there. We haven't gotten it yet. You can go and retrieve it yourselves," Qiao Zhi said with a faint smile.
Hongying's gaze swept over them, landing on Su Deng. Her eyes flickered slightly. "It seems this child is very important to you. You can release him, but make Su Deng hand over all the divine-level materials he has."
They didn't know how many god-level materials Su Deng had, but they knew that all of Long Yi's previous dozens were in her possession.
There will only be more, not less.
"How can you be like this? You just said you'd hand over the clues, and now you're going back on your word!" Qin Xian gritted his teeth.
“He’s in our hands now, so you don’t seem to have the right to negotiate with us,” Zhou Ya said with a grin.
"You..." Qin Xian was so angry that he wanted to take action, but he was afraid that they would actually do something to Su Muye in his hands.
This sudden turn of events caught the attention of nearby players who were all secretly observing.
Liu Sangua's voice turned cold. "I said let him go."
“We all know the name of the Willow Goddess, and we respect and fear her,” Hongying said with a smile. “But now that you want this child, shouldn’t I be the one to set the conditions?”
Liu Sangua moved his hands, his fair and clean fingers forming several hand seals, and the jade pendant on Su Muye's body began to shimmer with golden light.
The hexagram of life and death.
Su Deng squinted and pressed down his hand. "They're coming for me. I'll handle it myself."
Liu Sangua paused for a moment, then withdrew his hand.
Su Deng stepped forward, her expression cold and indifferent, and said, "If you want god-level materials, you can take them by killing me."
Hongying's expression shifted slightly, but her gaze drifted over to Liu Sangua standing to the side.
“They won’t make a move.” Su Deng knew what she was thinking.
Hongying smiled and said, "Herru, go and fight her."
Helru tossed Su Muye into the hands of his two henchmen like a chick and strode out.
“Su Deng…he’s one of the top few dozen on the leaderboard…” Not to mention Qin Xian, even Qiao Zhi’s expression changed.
Liu Sangua frowned, "You don't have to do it yourself."
"I know that if you were to take action, dealing with them would be easy," Su Deng said calmly. "But as the chosen one you speak of, you can't just be a useless person who relies on others forever."
"What do you mean..." Liu Sangua's clear black and white eyes, hidden beneath his veil, brightened slightly. "You've agreed to my previous proposal?"
"We'll talk about that later." Su Deng picked up her sword and walked out.
Qin Xian's eyes darted around, "If Su Deng can't beat them later, we can sneak up on them again. Anyway, they don't have..."
"The entire world exists for me; once the contract is made, it's either life or death..."
Before he could finish speaking, Herru on the other side started muttering something to himself.
"What's he doing?" Qin Xian asked, stunned. "Performing a ritual before the fight?"
"No!" Qiao Zhi's expression turned solemn. "This is a life-and-death contract!"
Players who enter this game world and survive for more than two levels will receive a skill assigned by the system.
With tens of millions of players, almost every skill is different.
There are all kinds of strange and wonderful things.
The allocation is based on what? This question has been discussed by many players. The final conclusion is that it is based on the player's experiences in the real world, as well as their deepest desires, wishes, and negative emotions.
Among the skills that Qiao Zhi knows, there is the Life and Death Contract.
After using the skill, an area of 100 meters in radius can be turned into a battlefield. The two sides fighting within the area cannot even use god-level materials. The battlefield will only disappear when one side dies.
During the battle, no one outside the battlefield is allowed to interfere.
"Now I understand... why Red Oriole took a liking to Herru..."
Qiao Zhi had never understood why Hong Ying, such a capable and beautiful woman without any emotions, would be interested in Herru, who was not even as good as her. Now she understood.
Tsk, in the game world, no matter how handsome you are, it's not as good as having useful skills and impressive combat abilities.
He's activating his skill now, clearly intending to kill Su Deng and guard against these people interfering along the way.
"That despicable and shameless woman!" Qin Xian gritted his teeth, "Are we just going to watch Su Deng go?"
