Wu Yong is a smart man.
Almost instantly, he realized a certain drawback.
Shen Yi's skills are indeed very strong, but if he is really strong enough to execute his own plan, then...
So why did Shen Yi choose to avoid battle and escape from the beast tide just now?
The answer lies in the riddle.
"I see……"
Wu Yong looked thoughtful, his expression somewhat serious. "With our current strength, we can't comfortably use these skills to become stronger."
Shen Yi looked at Wu Yong, nodded, and gestured for him to continue.
"It's a pity. If this incident hadn't happened, or to be more precise, if it had happened a day or two later, with your growth rate, Brother Yi, you would have been able to easily face both the beast tide and the foggy corpse demons."
Not entirely correct. If this unexpected event hadn't occurred, Shen Yi would have gone straight to the heart of the enemy and confronted the Fog and Corpse Demon head-on.
It remains to be seen who will win or lose at that time.
"well!"
At this point, Wu Yong became even more frustrated.
It would have been better if he hadn't known. After learning about Shen Yi's trump card, Wu Yong was even more regretful than before.
It's probably because it's a pity.
As long as they have time as their trump card, Shen Yi can become infinitely stronger, but what they lack now is time. It can only be said that everything is a matter of fate.
"Then we only have one option left now."
Shen Yi raised an eyebrow. "Tell me about it."
Perhaps realizing that Shen Yi was testing him, Wu Yong's face no longer showed the ease it had before.
He solemnly said, "Abandon all the professions in the current instance."
Hearing this from Wu Yong, Shen Yi was somewhat surprised. "Wait?"
"That's right, wait!"
Wu Yong gritted his teeth, "We'll ignore the changes in the dungeon, ignore the miasma and corpse demons, focus on restoring our mana, and hunt monsters to evolve more skeletons or create more skeleton Servants!"
Shen Yi glanced at Wu Yong, "But the price for that would be very high."
"Unbelievably huge!" Wu Yong said helplessly. "It means we have to watch helplessly as the other professionals are plunged into a bitter struggle, or even die in battle."
"The result was that all the professionals in the Jiangdong School Alliance, including rare professionals, were killed by the Heavenly God Alliance."
Jiangdong Base is among the top-ranked bases in the entire Great Xia Dynasty, so this outcome is by no means a good one.
Wu Yong took a deep breath. "But, in my personal opinion, this is the best course of action!"
"Rather than risk everything, I'd rather save you!"
Shen Yi laughed, "I thought you wouldn't have thought of this."
Wu Yong was somewhat conflicted, "Given the current situation, this method is the best."
They abandoned everything in the Jiangdong School Alliance, only to protect Shen Yi.
In other words, in Wu Yong's judgment, Shen Yi's value is enough to be equivalent to that of the rare professionals in the entire Jiangdong School Alliance.
"I have to say, the Celestial Alliance's plan is both brilliant and utterly insidious."
Wu Yong said with a wry smile, "The first thing is the timing of when this mechanism will be activated."
"In the two days leading up to the end of the dungeon, most of the talented professionals, or those with rare skills, survived."
"In other words, a considerable number of professionals also perished."
"Losing this part of our strength has cost us the opportunity to unite."
The beast tide is indeed terrifying, but if professionals can be united, they are a force to be reckoned with.
"That's not right..."
Thinking of this, Wu Yong frowned instantly. "If that's the case, then why didn't they activate the Black Mud in the first place?"
All the professionals in the Jiangdong School Alliance have only experienced one dungeon. If this mechanism is activated at the beginning, the beast tide in the dungeon can be used to wipe out the professionals whose levels have not yet grown.
This is indeed a more prudent approach.
"It's certain that they didn't do that."
Perhaps it's because doing so wouldn't be very effective, since launching the beast tide before the professionals' levels have increased might accelerate their growth.
Or perhaps, the dungeon mechanics itself has limitations that prevent it from being triggered.
In short, there are reasons why they did this.
The question is, is that reason... subjective or objective?
If it's objective, that's fine. But if it's subjective, then there must be a reason why they delayed launching the plan!
In the end, Wu Yong gave up on thinking about it any further.
Whatever the reason, they currently lack sufficient information to deduce the situation, which only adds to their worries and affects their current judgment.
Only then did Wu Yong recall the origin of the problem.
"Brother Yi, I understand the situation on our side now."
Wu Yong looked at Shen Yi and asked, "What I don't understand is, what did you mean by 'bet' just now?"
Shen Yi smiled slightly, "Take another guess."
"Brother! Don't tease me, I really can't guess!"
Wu Yong made a gesture of surrender.
He racked his brains but couldn't think of a solution, and Shen Yi didn't say anything, which was driving him crazy.
A slight tremor ran through Chen Yi's mind.
A skeleton archer and a skeleton warrior moved, merging into a brand new skeleton.
[Class: Skeleton Champion Warrior]
[Level: 8]
[Strength: 29]
Agility: 19
[Spells: 5]
[Skill 1: Summoned Ones (Undead who have crawled out of their graves and can only blindly follow the guidance; for this reason, they possess absolute loyalty.)]
[Skill 2: Super Shot (Infuse with energy; when shooting at the enemy's weak point, it can deal massive damage)]
"That's truly amazing skill..."
After seeing it with his own eyes, Wu Yong couldn't find the words to describe it.
Even so, he couldn't figure out what Shen Yi meant by 'gambling'.
"Wu Yong, does a potion for restoring mana exist in this world? Something that can restore a lot of mana with just one sip."
Wu Yong shook his head.
"Mana restoration potion? How could such a thing exist!"
Wu Yong was even a little surprised, "Brother Yi, why would you ask such a strange question?"
This is also what Shen Yi finds most regrettable.
Mana cannot be replenished in time!
Perhaps this rule arose because skills in this world do not have cooldown periods.
Shen Yi even tried to have a skeleton priest die and then be devoured by other skeletons to become a new skeleton priest.
Unfortunately, this bug cannot be exploited; the new Skeleton Priest's mana cost remains equivalent to the previous Skeleton Priest.
Mana can only be restored through natural regeneration or a very limited number of healing skills.
In some ways, this is even greater than having a cooldown period.
Despite the lack of cooldown time, professionals can unleash powerful skills in quick succession.
But the more fatal point is that no one dares to deplete their mana in one go, because that would cause their combat power to drop sharply. Mage-type classes that rely solely on skills become easy prey, unless it is a life-or-death struggle.
However, there is one special case in which this rule does not apply.
