Chapter 484 - Action
James looked at everyone again, then stood at the front and said to everyone, "Everyone must be careful and come back alive as much as possible!"
Everyone was silent and didn"t speak, but their eyes were full of sincerity. It was clear that they were ready to risk their lives.
James looked at everyone and didn"t say anything more. He directly opened his mouth and said, "Everyone, let"s begin to move!"
Grimm then picked up a bottle of Remy"s a.s.sistance and gulped it down.
Grimm"s injury hadn"t recovered yet.
Now, he drank another bottle and improved his condition to the best.
This way, he would be able to stall for more time when facing the Stone of Destruction.
This was all arranged beforehand, so naturally, no one would doubt it.
After Grimm finished drinking, the injuries on his body emitted waves of green light.
The green light quickly repaired Grimm"s injuries.
Grimm clenched his fists and checked his condition. He felt very good!
Then he nodded to James, indicating that he could move.
James also nodded.
Then he signaled for the others to get ready.
Grimm didn"t say much. According to the previous agreement, he took off and ran.
His speed was very fast, but he didn"t activate any skills.
Grimm"s goal was to draw the Stone of Destruction, so he naturally wouldn"t pull too much distance ahead of time.
What if the Stone of Destruction stopped chasing because Grimm was too far away?
He had to guard against this!
When Grimm was far away, at this time, there was an inexplicable disturbance in the crowd.
...
At the same time.
The Stone of Destruction had long noticed that this group of people had gathered together.
It calculated the distance and looked at everyone"s level. It immediately lost interest in making the first move.
With these people"s strength, even if they didn"t transform, it would only take a few seconds to finish them off.
If these people weren"t still useful now, it would have made its move long ago.
Suddenly, the Stone of Destruction thought of the human who had scolded it back then.
It frowned and looked at the crowd.
But upon closer inspection, it didn"t find him.
"What"s going on?"
The Stone of Destruction had long seen Grimm.
It was only because Rakshasa and Klein were fighting too quickly that the Stone of Destruction didn"t choose to vent its anger now in order to gather information about Klein in advance.
Furthermore, that human was just a tiny tick. It would only take a thought to kill him.
Of course, it wouldn"t let him die easily.
The Stone of Destruction had thought of many good torture methods to deal with trolls.
For example, slapping him into a pulp.
Or, crushing his toy-like hands one by one.
Or, throwing him into his own feces and so on.
Every time he thought of this, the Stone of Destruction was very happy. The Stone of Destruction could not help but want to make a move.
Just as he was about to make a move, that human suddenly disappeared!
At this time, there was a commotion in the crowd.
"Eh? Where"s Grimm? Someone saw him. Wasn"t he here before?" someone asked.
"Yeah, where"s Grimm? Who saw Grimm? He still owes me 50 runes."
"D*mn it, did he run away?" someone answered.
Someone pointed at a figure at the end of the line of sight and said, "F*ck, there he is!"
"D*mn it, this guy wants to run away?"
"D*mn it, he actually ran away at this time? He"s simply not a son of man."
"Is there anyone who can catch him?"
"I knew this guy was unreliable. I didn"t expect him to run away at this time. This is really infuriating!"
"Humph, run? Where can he run to? This is a catacomb. If we don"t deal with these demon beasts in front of us, he won"t be able to run out of this catacomb even if he runs to the ends of the earth," someone said mockingly.
When the Stone of Destruction heard everyone"s words, it was first taken aback.
After absorbing it for a while, it revealed a strange expression.
"This? Is there an internal conflict?"
"How is that possible? And at this moment?"
The Stone of Destruction frowned and thought to itself.
"Could there be a trap?"
Upon thinking of this, the Stone of Destruction laughed disdainfully.
If Klein was inside, it would definitely consider whether there was a trap.
But these people?
Clearly, having such thoughts was enough to make the Stone of Destruction feel ashamed.
"It looks like humans are having an internal conflict."
"However, humans are indeed like that. The more critical the situation is, the easier it is for them to have an internal conflict."
"However, that person is right. As long as Rakshasa and I are still around, it"s impossible for these people to leave this catacomb."
"At that time, even if they run to the ends of the earth, they will only die a few seconds later. If it was someone else, it wouldn"t matter. However, the person who spat at me should enjoy the most perfect and elegant way to die. Only then will I be happy."
Thinking of this, the Stone of Destruction"s anxious heart suddenly dimmed.
Instead, it looked at the receding figure with interest.
"Run, run. The further you run, the stronger your will to survive. When you are killed, the greater the pleasure you will give me!"
James was at the back of the crowd.
He had to grasp the changes in the heart of the Stone of Destruction in all aspects so that he could adjust his strategy at any time.
This was very important.
Because the Stone of Destruction"s intelligence was not low, it would not be so easy to deceive it.
Therefore, James and the others had thought of a perfect solution.
That was, since they could not deceive the Stone of Destruction, then there was no need to deceive it.
They would directly lay out the facts.
Because the whole thing was true, even the Stone of Destruction could not see through it.
Looking at the Stone of Destruction"s expression now, James knew that the strategy had succeeded.
Someone on the side asked, "Is it okay? James, I"m afraid that if I"m too late, the Stone of Destruction will become suspicious."
James nodded and then looked at the distant figure of Grimm.
He thought to himself, "Take care, Grimm. If you don"t die this time, you"ll be my best brother!"
Thinking of this, James knew very well that timing was very important.
If he missed it, the plan this time might be useless.
So he nodded to that person and asked him to carry out the next step of the plan.
At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly exclaimed, "d.a.m.n it, this Grimm actually stole my teleportation scroll!"
"Teleportation scroll?"
Everyone exclaimed in shock.
"What is this thing?"
"I"ve never heard of it."
"That"s right, what exactly is it? What use does it have?"
That person"s face was full of ferocity as he spoke fiercely.
"Teleportation scroll is a one-time use item. Once used, the user can leave the current world and return to the previous catacomb."
"What?"
Everyone"s eyes widened when they heard this.
"There"s actually such a magical scroll?"
"Hu, this is too unbelievable. I thought that after entering the catacomb, only the demon beasts in the catacomb can leave. I didn"t expect there to be such a magical scroll. If used at a critical moment, it can save one"s life!"
