Chapter 75
(Toad is coming~)
The leader was none other than Toad, who was staring at Aiden and Kusumoto Ryotaro with his huge pupils.
"It's over, it's over."
Ryotaro Kusumoto, who was spitting blood, no longer cared about cooperating with Aiden.
He was hit by the tiger's claw just now because he was caught off guard.
Even in hawk form, he was seriously injured.
He couldn't take the items out of his inventory, so he could only land and drink the recovery potion.
Then, Kusumoto Ryotaro flapped his wings and was about to land.
After realizing that the speed was too slow, he simply folded his wings and descended rapidly in free fall.
But it hadn't fallen far.
It was rolled up by the toad's tongue.
Although the falcon is as big as a man, it is still not as big as the flying toad.
After confirming that the tied-up Kusumoto Ryotaro was unable to resist, the toad passed him to another flying toad.
He flew in front of the big tiger and surrounded Aiden with the remaining dozen or so tigers.
Compared to the dimwitted Kusumoto Ryotaro, Aiden is clearly more powerful and more difficult to deal with.
…
Aiden was stunned again when he saw the flying toads suddenly appearing around him.
Why!
Why!
Whenever he thought that the other party had no more tricks left and had to surrender, Linzhi always had a trick up his sleeve.
Is she really invincible?!
Am I really that weak!?
Even if I copied the skills of a group of people, I still can't fight against them!?
Aiden asked himself three questions in a row, and for the first time he began to doubt himself.
Lin Zhi didn't give him a chance to react while he was stunned.
Every time I was about to fight Aiden, someone else would show up or something else would interrupt me.
I threw the banana peel before to grab the BOSS, so I can't waste time.
Later, when Andre and I were about to attack them, the game system appeared again.
She has endured it for a long time.
To avoid any further complications, it’s better to just gang up on him and deal with him.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhi quickly ordered the flying toads to attack together.
More than a dozen flying toads flapping their wings activated their [Whirlwind Vortex] skills at the same time. That scene would be extremely explosive even in the novel world.
Da Hu's skills were blocked, but his mouth was not.
At this moment, he was waving his tiger fist in the air, constantly cheering Toad: (Come on, Toad Sister! Kill him, kill him, kill him, kill him…)
There was no extra expression on Shang Mengyu's face, but her cheeks were red, and she was obviously very excited.
The [Whirlwind Vortex] skill allows the Flying Toad to launch two whirlwind attacks at the same time, and a dozen of them means more than thirty.
“!”
Aiden's pupils contracted rapidly.
He tried to cancel his hawk state and land quickly, but was entangled by several large tongues.
Then Aiden was left alone, tied up in the air...
Can't go up or down.
The cold wind carved into my face and my heart beat so fast that it seemed like it was about to jump out of my chest.
Aiden struggled hard, his mental energy being consumed rapidly.
But the whirlwinds coming from all directions were visibly approaching.
It was not until it was less than half a meter away from him that the giant tongue tied to its body was quickly retracted.
But the attack had already landed.
At this distance, no one can avoid it.
The two men and the tiger only heard a muffled sound, followed by pieces of flesh and blood falling from the air.
Kusunoki Ryotaro, who was standing by, was so frightened that he dared not utter a word.
Aiden was solved just like that?
He is level 60!
The two countries have been preparing together for so long...
Unexpectedly, after the actual operation, the battle was over before even the three-minute countdown in the closed area was completed.
So is it his turn next?
Kusumoto Ryotaro's mind raced, thinking about what Aiden had told him earlier.
I hope to exchange them with Linzhi and ask her to spare my life.
As for the consequences Aiden warned him about...
Your life is about to end, why bother considering the consequences!
"It's your turn."
Seeing Aiden being cut into pieces and falling, Linzhi looked at Kusumoto Ryotaro again.
At this moment, Kusunoki Ryotaro's desire to survive was overwhelming. Upon hearing Lin Zhi's voice, he immediately spoke:
"Don't kill me yet, I'm still useful!"
Before Lin Zhi could speak, Shang Mengyu beside her said with disgust:
"Don't believe him. Sakura Country players rarely speak the truth."
"No," Kusunoki Ryotaro spoke quickly, afraid that Linzhi would cut him off before he could finish his words.
"I'm really useful! I know a lot about the beautiful country. I can tell you everything. I just ask you to spare my life..."
"I know you're powerful, but there are a lot of players from the Beautiful Country entering this secret realm, and they still have some killer moves they haven't used yet!"
Shang Mengyu glanced at him and said in surprise, "You actually know the term 'assassin's mace'..."
Kusunoki Ryotaro ignored her and just stared at Linzhi, "As long as you promise to let me go, I will tell you everything about them."
Hearing this, Lin Zhi stroked his chin and thought for a while, then said, "Tell me what you think first, and I'll think about it."
"No," Kusunoki Ryotaro mustered up the courage to refuse, "You have to promise me first, and then I'll tell you."
What I thought in my mind was that very few people from the Dragon Country lie, especially those who are powerful.
If he could get Linzhi's promise, then his life would truly be back in his hands.
At this time, the time limit for the closed area ended and Linzhi regained his freedom.
The tiger also shook its wings and lowered its altitude a lot.
The air up there is really thin!
There is no effect in the short term, but the head will still feel a little dizzy for a long time. This is a symptom of lack of oxygen.
Linzhi could have said to Kusumoto Ryotaro, "You have no choice," but she didn't.
Compared to Kusunoki Ryotaro's life, getting information about the United States is indeed more important.
Anyway, even if she doesn't take action, there are others who can.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhi nodded and agreed: "Okay, I promise you, I won't kill you."
Kusunoki Ryotaro looked at Shang Mengyu again: "Not only you, but also her, and your undead creatures, whether they have been summoned or not, you can't attack me again."
Lin Zhi glanced at him, patted Da Hu's back, and said indifferently, "Okay."
(Roar, Master, the tiger is not some undead creature. Wait until the master gets the news, and then the tiger will eat him!)
Linzhi thought so too, so she agreed readily.
After getting Linzhi's answer, Kusunoki Ryotaro stared at her expression for several times. Seeing that she looked serious and earnest, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Without asking Lin Zhi to let the flying toad release him first, he spoke directly and said:
"Even though Aiden's contribution value ranks second, he's not actually the strongest player from the United States who entered the secret realm this time."
The implication is that even if Linzhi killed him, the cooperation between Longguo and Maoxiongguo would not necessarily allow them to maintain their first place.
Before Lin Zhi could ask, Kusumoto Ryotaro immediately said:
"Because their trump card is 'plunder'."
"It's not ordinary plunder, but plunder without distinction between you and me," added Kusumoto Ryotaro.
When he said this, he still felt a little scared. "Aiden told me that in the last few minutes of the secret realm countdown, if the player with the highest contribution value from their country is not ranked first, he will make him kill the players from his own country..."
"Killing your own people? No one resisted?" Shang Mengyu couldn't help but exclaimed.
Linzhi was also a little shocked.
Can anyone really go to such lengths just for a ranking?
Although the rewards of the special secret realm are rich, it shouldn’t be so inhumane as to send people to their deaths, right?
Would those people really be willing to die?
"It's useless even if someone resists..."
Kusunoki Ryotaro replied to Shang Mengyu, then looked at Lin Zhi and continued, "Do you still remember those ghost vines that controlled Toyama Shoichi and made him kill his teammates?"
"There's a player in the Beautiful Country who has a skill that has a similar effect. It can control a person's mind, forcing them to act according to his wishes."
So this is the reason why "plundering" can be truly implemented, and that player is the real "strong one".
"And only a few high-level players know about this."
What this means is that the weaker players in the United States don’t even know that they are cannon fodder.
"There are 1,979 players entering the secret realm this time. Although you, Linzhi, have already earned over 700,000 contribution points, even if each of the nearly 2,000 players only earned 1,000 contribution points, that's still nearly 2 million."
Kusumoto Ryotaro didn't forget to cue himself as he spoke, "I don't have much contribution value, just over 10,000. Even if you kill me, your contribution value won't be anywhere near that."
"But you can go ahead and kill the American players first. That way, even if they use mind control to kill each other, their contribution points won't be enough."
Lin Zhi frowned slightly when she heard Kusunoki Ryotaro's words about using a knife to kill someone.
"How do you know so much? Why would Aiden tell you such an important thing?"
Shang Mengyu raised her doubts, which was also what Linzhi wanted to know.
If it's so important, why would he tell Kusumoto Ryotaro, especially since he's the kind of person who can't keep his mouth shut?
But don't tell her that the Sakura Country and the Beautiful Country have formed an alliance.
Even if they form an alliance, they won't carelessly tell others about their own internal affairs.
"I don't know, but that's what he told me."
"There's no need for me to make up such a story just to stay alive."
Kusunoki Ryotaro's tone was filled with anxiety. "Please believe me, these are exactly what Aiden said!"
"I don't think he had any need to lie to us, and it won't do him any good."
Shang Mengyu said to Lin Zhi.
"Kusumoto Ryotaro didn't lie," Linzhi said, "but that doesn't mean what Aiden told him is true."
Shang Mengyu widened her eyes slightly. "You mean, Aiden revealed this on purpose just to get Kusunoki Ryotaro to tell us?"
Lin Zhi nodded, "Or rather, he had already guessed that Kusunoki Ryotaro would let slip something. As for his purpose, I haven't figured it out yet."
"And didn't you notice that the game system didn't announce it this time?"
Linzhi half-closed his eyes and looked at the sky.
The flying toads' attack just now hit Aiden, and Aiden turned into pieces of flesh and blood right under their noses.
But he did not report the increase in his contribution value.
That only means one thing—
Aiden is not dead yet!
At least the person who was just "killed" was not him.
"Yeah."
This high-dimensional game system is so targeted at Linzhi. If she really succeeds in killing Aiden, how could she not report it to the entire secret realm?
"What, what are you talking about?"
Kusumoto Ryotaro realized belatedly, "Is Aiden not dead?"
He didn't hear the system announcement either!
