“Even though I really want to put on a serious expression like you did …” Feng bujue looked at King Mo Ming and said calmly,”but your appearance and voice, combined with the tone and lines … No matter how I look at it, you look like a stupid kid who is at the end of his second year.”
“Hmph … Are you trying to provoke me with your words?” King Mo Ming laughed coldly as he stepped out of the coffin.”This must be your usual trick …”
“Oh … I almost forgot. You’ve already heard some of my ‘deeds’.” When Feng bujue said that, he aimed the flashlight at the man’s face.”In other words, you’ve already prepared yourself … For all the bad things that I might do, right?”
“I thought so too at first …” King Mo Ming did not seem to care about the light that was s.h.i.+ning on his face. He continued to speak in a calm and steady tone,”until … You started singing ‘eighteen touches’…”
“Hehe …” Feng bujue chuckled.”They already had their eyes on me then …”
!!
“No, even earlier than that.” King Mo Ming continued.
“That was when …” Feng bujue’s mind was spinning, and he paused for half a second before continuing,”…When I first met my ‘mother’.”
“Correct.” King Mo Ming replied.
“I see …” Feng bujue said.”No wonder I felt something was ‘coming’ but could not catch anything …” He looked into the man’s eyes.”Now that I think about it … That was the feeling of your ‘consciousness’ enveloping me.”
“At first … I didn’t think of you as a big threat.” “But not long after, I heard the ‘voice’ of the count of script communicating with you. At that time, I made up my mind to get rid of you as soon as possible. ”
“And so … That scene in the river appeared.” Feng bujue continued.
“Looks like you’ve already guessed everything …” King moonlit continued gloomily,”that’s right … Behind the door leading to the river, there was a small boat. However … In order for you to split up, I moved the boat away. ” It paused for a moment.”I know you won’t choose to swim in a group because it’s a very laborious and slow way. The result was as I expected … You all used your own methods to set off, thus increasing the distance between you. ”
At this point, King Ming di took two steps to the side and moved his face away from the circle of light,”When the time was right, I used the poison of the Black Rose to cover the area you were in and released a powerful monster in front and behind you to block you …” It shook its head, showing a little helplessness.”I thought … This tactic was almost certain and could kill at least half of you, but unfortunately …”
“It’s a pity … The ambush you’ve carefully planned didn’t achieve the effect you wanted. ” Feng bujue said with a smile.
King Mo Ming snorted.”Hmph … All of you are indeed stronger than I thought, especially you …” He looked at brother Jue and said,”now that I think about it … You … Must have noticed my plan back then, right? That’s why they chose to bring up the rear. ”
“I only faintly sensed that you wanted to increase the distance between us.” Feng bujue’s tone and lines were modest, but his face was filled with pride.”Haha … I didn’t expect my action of bringing up the rear to strategically nullify your plan.”
Listening to teacher Jue’s conversation with King Ming Ming, the more bu and ou bu listened, the more scared they felt. (RUO Yu was calm in the face of danger, Xiao Ling followed her train of thought, and Xiao Tan was more naïve, so the three of them were relatively calm.) Now that they thought about it … If Feng bujue had not stayed at the back of the group, things might have developed differently.
It was because brother Jue had chosen to bring up the rear that he had been able to kill the monsters that were chasing them at the first opportunity and come all the way here with all his teammates along the way, allowing the six of them to meet up as quickly as possible.
But if … Feng bujue was in the middle of the team, then he would have to choose one direction to go. After he brought the people on the other side, he would turn back to the other side. This would not only increase the time that his teammates had to come into contact with the monster, but it would also increase the time that they had to be alone in the poisonous pollen. Just Xiao Tan alone … If he had met Aube any later, he would have to start breathing in the poisonous air. And on the other side … Aube would most likely be heavily injured by the monsters behind him before Feng bujue arrived. Considering the battle environment at that time … It was very likely that Aubrey would have died there. Once he died, the two breathing devices on him would disappear … This was a chain reaction, and Buu and Xiao Tan, who lacked the means to hold their breath, would be in danger.
Thinking about it carefully, the ambush that King Mo Ming had set up was indeed a brilliant one. If it was an ordinary six-man team … Even if they didn’t get wiped out, they would at least lose a layer of skin.
Unfortunately … It had run into Feng bujue.
If the ambush in the river could be viewed as a game, then … Whether it was the strategic choice or the actual execution, brother Jue had done his best. It was because of his performance that King Mo Ming had gained nothing.
“What happens next is going to be even more disadvantageous for me …” King Ming Ming walked up to brother Jue and continued,”you’ve obviously read that fairy tale before, so … When I appeared before you as a ‘Sparrow’, I basically exposed my ‘host’.”
“You can only blame yourself for being overconfident.” “It’s too early,” Feng bujue replied.
“Yes … I was too careless.” “No.” King Mo Ming shook his head.”The surprise attack on the ‘Black River’… Did not succeed either. After all, there were system restrictions there. I could not kill you all in an instant. All I could do was imprison the one with the highest terror points underwater.”
“Eh? I thought I was the one with the highest terror points then …”Xiao Tan added.
Aube turned to him.”No, no… Brother Xiao Tan, you’re overestimating me. Actually, I’m very timid. I look calm on the surface, but that’s because of my appearance.”
He was telling the truth … His “malnourished” face did give people an inexplicable sense of calmness.
“All in all … One wrong step and you’ll lose the whole game …” King Mo Di said.”The mistakes and disadvantages will acc.u.mulate, causing the situation to go from controllable to uncontrollable.” He raised his eyes to look at brother Jue.”In the end … I had no choice but to compromise.”
“Hehe … From what I’m saying, it’s been hard on you to work with me.” Feng bujue said with a smile.
“Hmph … It doesn’t really matter …” King moonlit snorted, a strange look in his eyes,”to achieve our goal, this level of compromise is simply …”
“It’s nothing, right?”he asked.
Suddenly, a deep and wise voice interrupted King Mo Ming’s words.
In that instant, King Mo Ming’s expression changed. He quickly turned around and looked in the direction of the voice.
He saw … A white-robed old man holding a staff slowly walking out from the depths of the stone tomb. This “person” had white hair and a white beard. He had an imposing appearance, and although he looked old, the light in his eyes was like that of a man in his Prime.
“d.a.m.n … Could it be gandaph?” When Xiao Tan saw the shadow, he blurted out.
“No, young man.” The old man looked at Xiao Tan with a smile and replied,”…It’s count of script.”
“You can actually come in by yourself?” Feng bujue asked curiously.
“Of course I can come in.” “It’s just more troublesome,” the count of script continued.”And we have to take a certain risk.”
“I understand now … It’s similar to human self-hypnosis, right?” Feng bujue mumbled.
“Feng bujue, stop talking nonsense with me.” “I asked you to destroy King moonlit’s body and expel it from my body … But you, at the moment of success, changed your side for some equipment and skills …” He paused.”And that forced me to come here myself …”
“You know nothing.” Feng bujue replied with his usual vulgarity.”After we reach the hidden ending, I will deal with it.”
“Hey!” When King Mo Ming heard this, he almost peed his pants.
“I can get the information on [unfathomable Yin] from you. As for the equipment, skills, and hidden ending rewards, I can easily get them by working with King moonlit.” Feng bujue looked at the count of script.”My plan of killing two birds with one stone, the best plan to maximize the benefits, has been ruined by your appearance.”
Not only King Ming Ming, but even count of script was dumbfounded. He looked at brother Jue and stammered,”Uh … This …”
“Feng bujue! “You despicable fellow …” Two seconds later, King Mo Ming shouted,”you really dare to say that!”
“Nonsense, the plan can’t be carried out, so why should I hide it?” Brother Jue replied confidently, as if his double-agent act of self-interest was justified.
“Sigh …” Feng bujue took two more steps. He looked at King Mo Ming and sighed.”Actually … The line that I wanted to say the most is …’I’m sorry, I’m a spy’.”
“You’re determined to be a thief! How much do you want to be a snitch! Why do you make such a despicable act sound so cool?” King moonlit’s heart was filled with shock, but he still had to maintain a bit of the demeanor of a G.o.d on the surface. He couldn’t mock him like that.
“Good … Very good …” King Mo Ming glared at brother Jue with a menacing look on his face. He squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth,”after I take care of count of script … I will take my time to deal with you …”
There was some basis for its confidence: First, the count of script in front of him was just a ‘projection in his brain’, so he should not be able to unleash his full strength. Secondly, even if his brother could use his full power, it would be fine. His power was already very weak, and he might not be a match for King moonlit. Thirdly … Due to the restrictions of the main mission, players would not attack King Mo Di’s body as it was against the clear conditions. If they did so by force, the system would deem it as a form of AFK, and in severe cases, they would be kicked out of the scenario.
“Ha! You’re daydreaming!” Feng bujue laughed coldly and turned to the count of script.”Brother Zun, tell me the method to complete the main quest.”
The count of script was stunned for a moment before he understood what brother Jue meant. He immediately replied,””That stone wall over there …” He raised his staff and pointed at it. “Solve the rune puzzle on it and we’ll pa.s.s …”
“Shut up!” King moonlit also quickly realized that the situation was not right. In a flash, he was already in front of count of script.
Brother Zun was already prepared. He dodged and blocked while saying,”the puzzle is set up according to the principle of Sudoku. Each symbol on it refers to a number. You can subst.i.tute it with the Roman characters and simplify it to decipher it …”
“I told you to shut up!” Although King moonlit was in his body, his battle power was still not bad. Even his normal physical attacks had the power of a thousand catties and the speed of lightning. If it wasn’t for the system’s protection, the stone tomb would have collapsed long ago from the power it leaked out.
However … As the saying goes, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. As a high-level existence that was almost on the same level as the four pillar G.o.ds, no matter how weak the count of script’s combat power was, it would not be much weaker. When he was focused on defense, it would be difficult to determine the victor in a short period of time.
Therefore, brother Zun still said while fighting,””Behind that wall, there’s a tunnel where undead creatures are hidden. After pa.s.sing through it, you’ll arrive at a garden full of black roses. “After entering the garden’s Gate, walk along the ”-shaped path. When you see a pillar sculpture on the way, keep a distance of more than three meters and don’t get too close … This way, you’ll find the pine tree very quickly …”
When count of script said that, Feng bujue had already rushed to the stone wall.
For brother Jue, once he knew how to reveal the secret, this kind of obstacle was not difficult at all. He solved the Sudoku puzzle in no time and opened the stone wall.
“I’m not going over …” Feng bujue stood by the wall. He did not enter but told his teammates. You guys follow brother Zun’s instructions and complete the main mission as soon as possible. You don’t have to wait for me after you’re done, just teleport away. ”
“Brother Jue, what are you doing?” Xiao Tan asked worriedly.
“That goes without saying …” Feng bujue replied.”As long as you have cleared the scenario, I will no longer be restricted by the main quest, and I can work with brother Zun to deal with King Mo Ming.”
“I understand.” Upon hearing this, RUO Yu immediately said,”everyone, let’s go.” After saying that, she took the lead and rushed into the tunnel, disappearing in a few seconds.
RUO Yu’s train of thought was very clear. At a time like this, she should be decisive and Swift. Even if this reaction seemed a little cold and realistic, in fact … This was what he really did to help his teammate.
On the contrary, plots and dialogues like “you go, I’ll stay … No, if you want to go-we’ll go together … Don’t be silly, we’ll die together … No, even if we die, we’ll die together …” Often appeared to be “affectionate and righteous,” but in fact, they were very brainless actions. Generally speaking, as long as such a scene happened, the one who stayed behind had already set up a death FLAG. No matter how hesitant and talkative you were … You would still have to die. The only use of this kind of play was to waste time and waste the other party’s sacrifice …
“What are you all doing? hurry up and keep up.” Feng bujue saw that the others did not move, so he raised his voice and urged,”if you have anything to say, wait until the script is over.”
“Okay, brother Jue, be careful.”
“Good luck, leader.”
Seeing brother Jue’s determination, Xiao Tan and Xiao Ling exchanged a look before they followed him into the tunnel.
“Teacher Jue, we’ll meet again!” Bu ou and ou bu quickly reached an agreement and left together.
After all five of his teammates entered the tunnel, Feng bujue closed the stone wall again and turned around to look at the two G.o.ds who were engaged in a physical fight …
