Chapter 34 (Two in One)
It turns out that the Energy Cube has always been on the boss of the Weird Tower!
Wu Jian seemed to see hope of getting out, but the BOSS looked very difficult to deal with. How could he get the energy cube?
Wu Jian was conflicted.
Cayenne fought with the BOSS for less than two rounds and was defeated repeatedly. If he had not temporarily used nutritional supplements to replenish his energy, he would have been swallowed by the BOSS.
Fortunately, the Exile helped Wu Jian test the waters. After Wu Jian felt that the BOSS was not easy to deal with, he decisively gave up his plan of a sneak attack.
Lu Yang led his team to Wu Jian's corner and told Wu Jian the location of the energy cube. A look of joy flashed across his face.
"I didn't expect the Energy Cube to be on the Wanderer. We can use the Lure the Tiger Away technique to remove the Cube from the Wanderer's head..."
Wu Jian was shocked.
Lu Yang is even more radical than him.
Wu Jian hurriedly persuaded Lu Yang who was eager to try.
"Ao." Don't mess around. The wanderer is very dangerous. I've seen it fighting. We are no match for it at all!
Lu Yang explained: "Of course I know the danger. If I don't take the opportunity to get the Energy Cube, I don't know if I will have another chance next time."
Wu Jian's lips moved, not knowing how to persuade him.
No, can we just develop slowly? Why are we so impulsive?
"Wu Jian, I know you. Wait a minute, take the energy cube and leave."
"Oh." Wait, I think what you said seems a little wrong. We can plan it carefully. You are all still injured.
Lu Yang shook his head and said, "It's just a minor injury, it's okay, I..."
"Oh." Don't say anything, wait until I finish speaking!
Wu Jian interrupted Lu Yang.
"Ouch." I know what you're trying to do, but no. Plan carefully, and maybe you can get the Energy Cube.
Lu Yang didn't know whether he had heard it or not, his eyes were always fixed on the Energy Cube.
Wu Jian sighed. If a person doesn't want to be advised, he won't listen even if you talk him through.
Perhaps the old general had underestimated the situation on Blue Star; in reality, the situation was even worse than he'd imagined. Just look at the people inside China, who were practically obsessed with the Energy Cube and willing to sacrifice themselves for it.
Of course he wanted to get the Rubik's Cube, but he wouldn't get the Energy Cube at the expense of someone else.
Wu Jian suddenly felt a sense of frustration, perhaps because he saw Lu Yang risking his life to
Take the Energy Cube.
There was a conflicted look in her scarlet eyes. Was she really going to watch Lu Yang sacrifice himself?
Wu Jian felt that he couldn't do it.
While he was struggling, the fight on the other side had already ended.
Cayenne couldn't fight back and ran away.
The BOSS hid in the gray fog again. Everything seemed to have returned to calm, but under the gray fog, undercurrents were surging.
The boss didn’t come to deal with them, what happened?
Wu Jiangang felt strange when he saw Lu Yang and his team rushing into the gray fog.
Wu Jian:!
He hurriedly followed Lu Yang and the others into the gray fog, and suddenly felt a pair of cold hands grabbing his wings.
Wu Jian: There's bt! Also, this feeling is strangely familiar.
At this moment, a low chuckle sounded in my ears.
"Little dragon, did you miss me?"
Wu Jian: Knock! It’s really you, the bt!
"Oh." You're not dead?
A playful smile flashed in He Nuo's golden eyes.
"Why, are you surprised that I'm not dead?"
Wu Jian shook his head vigorously, suddenly remembered something, and broke free from He Nuo's restraints.
"Oh." I'm going to find someone. If there's anything, we can talk later.
He Nuo pinched Wu Jian's little wings again.
"Do you want to go find them?"
Wu Jian looked in the direction He Nuo pointed, and saw the gray fog dissipate, and rows of people were lying beside Chaos. Weren't they Lu Yang and his group?
"Hey, little cubs, long time no see. Are you looking for them? Don't worry, they didn't go in. Arnold and I intercepted them. It's just that the spooky tower affected their mental state, which is not good. Also, this leader looks like he has a lot on his mind. His health is close to single digits. The gray fog is trying to lure him in."
Wu Jian suddenly realized that he had felt something was wrong after Lu Yang entered the strange tower. It turned out that he had neglected to check their health status!
Wu Jian sincerely thanked Chaos.
Chaos smiled and said, "It's just a matter of convenience. No need to thank me."
Wu Jian wanted to talk to Chaos, but his head was forcibly turned back to look at someone.
"Oh." What are you doing?
He Nuo said, "Did you forget to say thank you, little cub?"
Wu Jian tilted his head.
"Oh?" What did you do? Why should I thank you?
He Nuo raised his eyebrows and said
"If I hadn't held you back just now, you would have entered the ranger's territory. Do you know what would have happened then?"
"Oh?" What will happen?
He Nuo pinched his dragon horn, raised the corner of his mouth and said: "You will be assimilated like those gray fog people."
Wu Jian was shocked.
"Ah." You mean those gray fog people were once human?
"I guess so."
Wu Jian had always believed that the Gray Mist Men were just a mimicry of humanoids in his hallucinations, but he had never imagined they were humans transformed into this. No wonder the Gray Mist Men coveted Tang Keke. Did they want to devour her sanity and transform her into a monster?
By the way, where are Zhao Qing and the others?
"Wu Jian, Wu Jian?"
When Wu Jian heard Zhao Qing's anxious voice behind him, he immediately yelled twice.
After a while, Zhao Qing appeared in front of him carrying Tang Keke on his back.
Wu Jian remembered that Chaos also knew how to heal, and wanted to ask him to help check on Tang Keke's condition. However, He Nuo stopped him and prevented him from getting close to Zhao Qing.
"Oh." He Nuo, what are you doing?
He Nuo pinched Wu Jian's mouth, signaling him not to speak. Holding the energy gun in one hand, he looked at Zhao Qing in front of him vigilantly.
Chaos said with a wary look, "That thing is here again."
What?
Wu Jian was about to ask when there was a bang and Zhao Qing's head exploded.
Wu Jian:!
He Nuo whispered, "Look carefully, it's not the Zhao Qing you know."
Zhao Qing's exploded head was seen with the flesh buds wriggling, quickly transforming into a hunchbacked gray fog man, who hid in the gray fog.
"Ah?" The Gray Mist Man could actually disguise himself?
"Not only can they disguise themselves, they can also learn the tones and demeanor of different people."
Gulp!
Wu Jian heard the sound of himself swallowing subconsciously.
Isn't this the same situation Tang Keke and the others encountered? I actually encountered it too?
"Oh?" Then we can't tell who is who?
"This is exactly the effect we want. It's probably impossible to count how many players have died in the infighting in the Ghost Tower." Chaos said with a sigh.
Wu Jian looked at He Nuo, then at Chaos, and then looked at He Nuo again.
"Oh." Then how did you recognize me?
He Nuo said: "Is it difficult for you to recognize it?"
Wu Jian: Isn't it difficult? Look at that thing disguised as Zhao Qing, isn't it successful?
Did you fool yourself?
He Nuo seemed to be able to read other people's minds and said tactfully, "Well, maybe your brain works slower than others."
Wu Jian: Ahhhh, can I strangle him to death? He's a nice guy, but he has a big mouth!
"Wu Jian, Wu Jian!"
Zhao Qing's voice came again from a distance, which scared Wu Jian.
"Oh?" No way, again?
"They are the real ones." He Nuo said.
Wu Jian breathed a sigh of relief and saw Zhao Qing approaching with Tang Keke on his back.
Zhao Qing's eyes were red, probably because he had been crying for a while.
Wu Jian glanced at him and howled with concern.
"Oh." Why are you here?
Zhao Qing said, "I wasn't paying attention just now, and you all disappeared, so I came in to look for you, and I met the Gray Mist Man who was pretending to be you."
Wu Jian comforted him a few times and asked him to put Tang Keke down. Chaos helped to check.
Chaos pressed the scepter against Tang Keke's forehead, and after a moment, he retracted the scepter.
"There's nothing wrong with her. It's probably her subconscious mind that's preventing her from waking up. And her condition isn't good, but it's not bad either. But she'll definitely need treatment for a while. Otherwise, even if she wakes up, she'll become a fool."
Zhao Qing sobbed.
Wu Jian was shocked.
"Ah." Is there no other way to wake her up?
Chaos nodded. "Yes, that's what our natural civilization excels at. However, the cost of treatment is quite high. If the Blue Star civilization can afford it, after the competition is over, I can send someone to Blue Star to help her, and this group of people on Earth can also receive some treatment."
“Oh?” Is it expensive?
"Very expensive. According to the market price, it's at least 10,000 star coins."
Wu Jian smacked his lips, instantly feeling that Chaos was full of value.
But ten thousand star coins is indeed too expensive for China.
Wu Jian rubbed his paws, approached Chaos, and helped him massage his shoulders.
"Oh." Brother, are we friends?
Kaos nodded.
"Of course."
"Oh." Since we are friends, can the price be a little cheaper?
"Is it expensive?" Chaos frowned and said, "I'm giving you a 90% discount. I only ask you to pay the cost price, which is already very cheap. It can't be any cheaper, little cub."
Wu Jian sighed, it seems that it is really not cheap.
More than ten thousand star coins is indeed an astronomical figure for him who only has a few thousand star coins.
Zhao Qing said, "We can raise funds. Can you really save her?"
Zhao Qing’s words made Wu Jian’s eyes light up.
Yes, since no one has 10,000 star coins, so many participating players cannot collect 10,000 star coins.
Kaos smiled and said, "Does the little cub have an optical computer watch?"
Just as Wu Jian was about to take out the light computer given by Ira from the space, a slender hand with countless scars reached out.
"Give me your claws."
Wu Jian:?
Although he didn't understand what He Nuo was saying, he subconsciously stretched out his paw.
"Not this one, the other one."
Wu Jian had no choice but to change to another one.
He Nuo brought his bracelet close to Wu Jian's bracelet, and contact information popped up on Wu Jian's bracelet.
Wu Jian: 0.0
Chaos gave He Nuo an ambiguous look.
He Nuo ignored Chaos's gaze and said to Wu Jian, "Okay. I'll teach you how to use it."
Wu Jian listened to He Nuo speaking some complicated language in a daze, and roughly understood that this bracelet was not only a space bracelet, but also an optical brain?
Isn’t it said that optical computers are just electronic ID cards and virtual transactions? How can there be an optical computer that can store physical objects?
While he was in a daze, He Nuo pinched his dragon horn and said, "Don't be surprised. This bracelet is just a new model developed by the mechanical civilization. It's normal that you haven't seen it before."
“Oh.” It must be very expensive.
He Nuo pinched Wu Jian's paw again and said, "Why do you care so much? As long as it works, it's fine."
Wu Jian came back to his senses and found that Chaos had been looking back and forth between him and He Nuo.
Chaos smiled and said, "I never knew that Arnold was such a thoughtful person."
He Nuo said: "Father and son have the same style, do you want it too?"
Chaos's face froze.
Wu Jian:?
Who is the father and who is the son?
Of course, Wu Jian would not be so foolish as to ask this question when he saw the cheap one.
In the end, Chaos and Wu Jian became friends.
He glanced at Wu Jian's contact information, and found that it only had his and Arnold's contact information. The key point was that Arnold's contact information was pinned at the top?
Chaos:?
What kind of weird desire to win?
Chaos didn't want to complain about the possessive He Nuo
, just told Wu Jian that he should contact him when he had enough star coins.
After solving an important matter, everyone rested in a corner.
Wu Jian asked how the two could suddenly appear in the strange tower.
He Nuo said: "How did you get in? That's how we got in."
Wu Jian felt that He Nuo was playing guessing games, so he simply asked Chaos directly.
Chaos described the process of their entry into the environment.
It turned out that after the little dragon disappeared, a second gray fog appeared, and he and He Nuo chose to enter the gray fog directly.
In the gray fog, you can see the things you fear the most. The illusion uses this to make the player fall into the illusion again and again and finally assimilate with the gray fog.
Everyone is afraid of something, and it just exploits the player's weaknesses to psychologically attack them.
In the illusion, the things in the illusion are invincible.
But it is useless to Chaos. He is a priest of nature with a clear mind. With the help of the scepter, he can easily break the illusion.
Not to mention He Nuo, he was a weirdo and was not affected at all.
Chaos sighed. This was also the difference between him and He Nuo.
Wu Jian asked He Nuo curiously.
"Oh?" Why didn't you get hit?
He Nuo looked at Wu Jian.
Wu Jian suddenly realized and talked to himself.
"Oh." I understand, you have no heart.
He Nuo: ...
Chaos asked in confusion, "Why? What does it have to do with the heart? Isn't it a talent?"
"Oh." Because he is a heartless person, he will not be deceived by illusions.
Chaos frowned and said, "There is no basis for this statement at all."
Wu Jian scratched his face. He'd only said it casually, mocking He Nuo. Did Chaos take it seriously? He'd even studied it carefully. Ah, was this the difference between a rookie and an elite?
How could He Nuo not see what the little dragon cub was really thinking? He didn't go up to Chaos to explain, letting him figure it out on his own.
If my words anger the little dragon again, it will be difficult to coax him.
Chaos:?
Wu Jian wondered if the crystal on the wanderer's head was an energy cube.
He Nuo answered simply: "Yes and no."
"Oh?"
"The Wanderer is not in this illusion. Even if you kill him, you won't be able to get the Energy Cube."
"Oh?" How could that be?
Kaa
Si Dao: "Arnold and I analyzed it and we guessed that the top of the strange tower is the home of the wanderers."
"Oh?" So that's how it is. Did you go up?
"Arnold and I were about to go up, but we didn't expect you to come in, so we came to look for you first."
Wu Jian glanced at He Nuo, and He Nuo nodded.
"Oh." This guy is definitely a veteran, what about the scene of wanderers eating people that we saw before?
"It's an illusion." He Nuo said, "The real entity didn't show up at all. What we saw were its clones."
Wu Jian was speechless.
I didn't expect them to go around in such a big circle. It seems they are all going around in circles.
Homeless people simply treat them as pets and let them out for a walk occasionally.
Uh, has this thing mutated or is it mentally ill? How come it likes to joke like a child, and even joke such bad jokes that can kill people.
Of course, this is just Wu Jian's personal opinion. Maybe in the eyes of the wanderers, they are just outsiders who have trespassed here. The wanderers certainly have the right to deal with the insects coming in from the outside world.
It can be said that the Wanderer has a natural advantage, and the Ghost Tower is its lair, which not only increases the difficulty of the game, but also causes more and more players to die.
Wu Jian opened his panel and saw that his health was stuck at 39. He couldn't help but frown.
Maybe the situation is worse than he thought.
——
"The health value is decreasing faster and faster. We must go to the top of the strange tower as soon as possible and find the physical wanderer." Chaos planned.
But they have a lot of wounded here. If they leave, the Gray Mist People will definitely take advantage of the opportunity.
"I can take care of them." Lu Yang said as he struggled to get up.
Chaos shook his head: "No, you are too weak."
Zhao Qing said: "I will stay and take care of them."
Wu Jian looked at Zhao Qing.
"Oh?" You're not going?
Zhao Qing smiled and said, "I'm needed more here."
Wu Jian nodded and said that this was fine.
Zhao Qing said apologetically: "Sorry, Wu Jian, in the end I still have to let you..."
"Ah." What nonsense are you talking about? I still have He Ge and the others. Get some rest. Oh, and be careful of that mercenary's sneak attack.
When Wu Jian mentioned mercenaries, He Nuo and Chaos looked at him at the same time.
In the end, only Wu Jian, He Nuo and Chaos went to the top floor. Zhao Qing chose to stay and take care of Tang Keke.
Those who obtained the energy cube are from other civilizations. Their mission is considered failed. They have to restart the mission later, which means they are one step slower than other players, and the energy planet will be one step away from them.
The pressure was instantly put on Wu Jian.
However, Wu Jian didn't have time to feel stressed for the moment, because He Nuo was pinching his wings and asking questions.
"Ah." What are you doing!
He Nuo asked, "Did you encounter those mercenaries?"
Wu Jian broke free from He Nuo's clutches and nodded.
"Ouch." Yeah, we just came out of the Little Ghost Tower and ran into them. They took a job and came into the game specifically to deal with me.
He Nuo pondered.
Chaos's eyes flickered. "Are mercenaries nowadays even more arrogant than pirates? Killing people openly?"
"Ah." I didn't provoke anyone. The only one who took the initiative to chase me was Sotayar, who ran into the star beast himself.
"He should be from the royal family of the alien beasts." Chaos said to He Nuo.
He Nuo didn't respond, but just put the little dragon cub on his shoulder and walked side by side with Chaos, "Let's go find the wanderer first."
"Ah." Yes, yes, yes. Since he is from the alien beast civilization, I can avoid him even if I can't afford to offend him. At worst, next time someone catches me, I will spit fire at him. Humph, little dragon, I am not someone you can mess with either.
Wu Jian puffed out his chest and said proudly.
He Nuo rubbed his belly and said with a smile: "Look at what you can do."
A few sparks came out of the little dragon's nostrils.
"Ah." I am no longer the same person I was before. Please call me Niuhulu. Longzai!
Chaos burst out laughing, "Hahaha, right, right."
He Nuo raised the corner of his mouth and poked the little dragon cub's belly.
Wu Jian's body stiffened again and he tried hard to gather his luck.
I thought to myself: I’ll tolerate you one more time.
The three of them walked out of the gray fog and found rows of gray fog people blocking their way, looking at them with cold eyes.
He Nuo's deep voice sounded, "Hold on tight."
Without waiting for Wu Jian to react, He Nuo distanced himself from Chaos, placed his spear on one knee, and aimed at the target.
Chaos smiled gently, and flowers bloomed all around him.
Wu Jian was just about to tell He Nuo that he could help, but before he could even utter a word, He Nuo pressed him into his arms.
The gray fog people screamed collectively, and the wind was gloomy and miserable.
Chaos waved the scepter in his hand, and countless vines emerged from the ground and wrapped around the gray mist man.
While fixing the position, gunshots rang out.
The gray fog people were collectively shot in the head, and in that instant, they looked so handsome that it touched Wu Jian's heart.
He wondered when he could be like He Nuo, who could solve all his problems with just a breath of fire. How envious!
As a walking pendant of a big boss, all Wu Jian can do, besides deducting 555, is to shout slogans of encouragement and give some flattery.
In addition to the screams of the gray fog man, there was also Wu Jian's howling.
Double rhythm, devilish sound torments the ears.
He Nuo's mouth twitched and he wanted to stop him, but when he saw Wu Jian shouting so happily, he swallowed the words back.
Wu Jian, who was shouting with thirst, drank a mouthful of animal milk and continued.
The sound continued until the fourth layer of the illusion was broken. Wu Jian finally couldn't hold on any longer and decided to take a break.
He Nuo, who had killed four more gray fog men, did not hear Wu Jian's voice. He looked down and saw the little dragon cub drinking animal milk. He pursed his lips.
"The last few layers are about to break." Chaos threw a high-level nutrient solution to He Nuo.
Wu Jian stuck his head out of He Nuo's arms and found that when the gray fog man died completely and disappeared, a crystal stone as big as his palm appeared on the ground.
In an instant, crimson eyes lit up.
"Oh." What is that?
He Nuo looked in the direction of the cub and said, "It's just an ordinary crystal."
Wu Jian looked at He Nuo with his big red eyes.
"Oh." Do you want it?
Chaos explained, "Little cub, this crystal stone has no energy or power, and its color is even worse than that of an ornament. Do you want it?"
Wu Jian nodded honestly.
He Nuo raised his head and drank the nutrient solution, saying, "I'll help you."
Wu Jian waved his hands quickly.
"Oh." No, no. I'll do it myself. It's more fulfilling this way.
As he said that, he jumped out of He Nuo's arms and picked up the crystals one by one.
Although it is called a crystal, it is actually mixed with gray fog color, and the whole crystal looks foggy.
Wu Jian was very satisfied with what he had picked up. This small crystal stone was just right for paving a small path in his villa. It was shiny and looked really nice!
The little dragon cub stuck his butt out, hummed a song, and was immersed in picking up trash.
When Chaos saw the image of the little dragon, he couldn't help but burst out laughing, and his elegant image was instantly shattered.
"What kind of collecting habit is this, little cub?
? "
"wrong."
Chaos: “?”
He Nuo looked at the little dragon cub and said, "These are just the things he likes."
Chaos shrugged, "Well, it's your son, I can't say anything."
Of course, the little dragon cub didn't know that He Nuo had discovered his liking for shiny things a long time ago, otherwise how could he have used high-grade energy crystals to coax the little dragon cub.
The little dragon cub picked them up one by one. At this time, a pink crystal caught his attention.
As he stepped forward to touch it, a black spiral ladder appeared in front of him.
"We're at the fifth floor. Little cub, stop picking up things and let's go."
Wu Jian put away the crystal stone and jumped into He Nuo's arms neatly, acting as the boss's pendant obediently.
The fifth floor is a little special.
Kaos looked at the empty space in front of him and frowned, "Strange, where are those gray fog people?"
"Let's go to the next floor and take a look." He Nuo reminded.
The three of them walked down to the next floor, but there was nothing there either. The surroundings were in a mess, as if they had experienced a huge disaster.
Wu Jian howled twice.
"Ouch." Could someone be fighting with the homeless in front of us?
He Nuo shook his head, "No."
"Let's go downstairs again?"
Before they reached the next floor, a huge monster appeared before them.
However, the monster opened its huge mouth and kept this posture.
Chaos walked forward and walked around the monster, and found a big hole on the back of the monster's head and neck.
Chaos said, "Come here, it's dead."
The sharp-eyed Wu Jian saw a monster lying on the ground not far from Chaos.
"Oh." There's more ahead!
Chaos turned around, and the scepter emitted a bright light, illuminating the entire space, and he could also see the situation around him.
Wu Jian was shocked.
"Ouch." These are almost all of the Wanderer's clones, right? Why are they all dead here? Are there other monsters that can compete with the Wanderer?
Wu Jian's words made He Nuo and Chaos look at each other.
Putting aside those comments that slandered Wu Jian, some viewers from different civilizations were discussing the situation encountered by Wu Jian and the other two.
[Uh, could it be that we're all wrong? There's not just one boss here, but two? Wouldn't that mean their previous plan would be in vain?]
The situation for the little dragon cubs isn't ideal. Is World 09 really that bizarre? It's a bizarre world, full of weirdness. Almost every step goes against plan.
"The Wanderer must be very powerful. Look at the illusions it created, layer upon layer. Many people are still trapped in the small spooky tower. How could it die so miserably? Its brain is practically hollowed out. What kind of inexplicable habit is this to kill the Wanderer?"
[By the way, am I the only one who noticed that the energy cubes on the wanderers' heads are gone?]
[I didn't notice that the little cub seems to like shiny things. What do you think if I send him some of my energy ore, would he like it?]
[Fuck, the house above actually has an energy mine. I'm so jealous! I have a friend who wants to know your address. I'm waiting for him to pick up his trash!]
【Hahaha, plus one.】
【Take me with you, I want to go pick up trash too. 】
[Can everyone please stop making noise and focus on watching the live broadcast? ]
——
Wu Jian looked at the huge wound on the monster's head, which was big enough for three of him to fit in. He couldn't help but shudder. If it were him, he would probably be torn into pieces.
"Let's go directly to its nest and take a look." He Nuo said.
The last floor is the wanderers' lair.
Crystal trees actually grew here, but they were all pushed down by something, leaving a mess all over the ground.
But after walking this distance, the ground became clean and tidy again.
The gray space turned into white walls, porcelain white floors, and pillars inlaid with energy gems, and the entire house building was shining.
Wu Jian is very familiar with this place because it is his home!
When the golden door opened, a child was seen sitting on a jeweled chair in front of the glittering house.
The child smiled and looked at Wu Jian in He Nuo's arms.
"Welcome home."
My creator. !
