Chapter 290 The Walking Brain

[Edward Jack: No, man! 】

[Edward Jack: You must not post anything. If you post something, too many people will know about your imprisonment, and it will be more likely to reach the ears of the Octopus King. Can you save me then? Is it harder? 】

[Lamplighter: What do you think we should do? 】

[Edward Jack: Leave it to me, I promise to find a way to rescue you! 】

[Lamplighter: Then... I leave it to you. 】

[Lamplighter: In addition, in case no one comes to save me, or you gather the fragments and then leave, I will not take out the fragments easily in the future. I will only take them out after seeing the person who comes to save me. 】

Muyou added an additional restriction.

[Edward Jack: No problem, just wait for my good news! 】

The other party agreed happily.

[Lamplighter: That’s good! When I get out of prison, I will treat you to dinner when I have time! 】

[Edward Jack: Haha, easy to say, that’s it, see you later. 】

[Lamplighter: See you later. 】

…

"Oh shit……"

On the other side of the southern island, Jack ended the private chat in the game and kept cursing.

Unexpectedly, this little guy who he once used as a backup turned out to be quite smart in what he did. It didn't matter whether he was actually in prison or not. What mattered was the condition this person put forward later: if others don't go to prison to save him, he would Don’t take out the fragments!

In this way, even if all the other shard holders gathered together outside, without his piece, they would not be able to gather the nine pieces, and they would not be able to open the entrance to Dawn City. This is clearly forcing others to save him.

As for the other party's method of hiding the fragment, it is also very simple. Just extract the fragment into reality, give it to a friend you know, let the other party store it in the game, and then take the other party offline, so that the fragment will continue to collapse unobservably. status, absolutely safe.

"Boss Jack, are we really going to rescue people?" A pirate subordinate next to him asked at this time.

"Don't go, save me!"

Jack cursed secretly and shook his head. The underwater prison is right under the eyes of the Octopus King. Going there to help people escape from prison is really impatient.

What's more, the underwater prison is known as the most stringent prison in history. Since its establishment, no one has ever escaped. How can it be said that one can escape from prison?

"But if you don't go, what will happen to his fragment?" the subordinate asked.

The other party's conditions are also very clear. If no one rescues him, his fragments will not be taken out, and Dawn City will never be able to open, let alone other cities. This condition is extremely rogue and simply puts personal interests above all mankind.

Of course, they had to admit that if they were in this situation, they would probably put forward similar conditions. After all, no one wants to be locked up in prison for a hundred years. Even if they are just game characters, they must save themselves even if they threaten all mankind. come out.

"It's very simple. Tell the Emperor about this. Anyway, he is the one who wants Fragment Two. He is also the one who wants the entrance to Dawn City to be opened the most. Let him have the headache. Let's just sit back and enjoy the success..." Jack sneered.

As the force with the most fragments and the greatest advantage, the Emperor's side is also the party that can afford to lose the most. He will never allow the opening of Dawn City to fail because of the lack of a certain fragment.

After learning about this, he had to go even if he didn't want to!

"Tell the emperor, what if he gets this fragment in the end?" His subordinates were worried.

"You're kidding, you underestimate the Octopus King and the Undersea Prison too much. If the Emperor can really rescue people with just one visit to the prison, then he has the ability. So what if I give up the City of Auroville?"

Jack said disdainfully: "However, the greater possibility is that the Emperor will attract the hatred of the Octopus King because of this incident. It would be great if the Emperor and the Octopus King could fight each other. Let's find the opportunity to stab him in the back. Maybe I can snatch a fragment from the Emperor's hand..."

Jack quickly planned the entire chess game in his mind, and without wasting any time, he immediately contacted the emperor during the game.

[Edward Jack: Emperor, please reply quickly, we have something important to discuss. 】

[Emperor: Say. 】

The emperor happened to be online and responded to the message concisely and concisely.

[Edward Jack: One of my collaborators is trapped on the fourth floor of the underwater prison! 】

[Emperor:? 】

[Emperor: You mean... the fragment holder? 】

[Edward Jack: Of course, the fragment in his hand is No. 2, and now he is asking us to rescue him, and he will not take out the fragment until he sees us appearing...]

Jack also tried to describe the matter as concisely as possible.

[Emperor: What are you going to do? 】

[Edward Jack: I don’t know, haven’t you always wanted this fragment? I'm not interested at all. 】

[Edward Jack: In short, this is the situation now. It’s up to you to decide. Let me know if you make a decision. 】

After speaking, Jack directly cut off the private chat without giving the emperor time to think.

At this time, in a building in Europe.

"What do you think?"

The emperor dropped his phone on the table and waited for others to discuss.

"That's so fake. Everyone knows where the underwater prison is. How could anyone be stupid enough to rob it?" the devil sneered.

"Yes, and it happened to be the second fragment we needed. No matter how you look at it, it's a trap!" Smile frowned.

"Is it a trap..."

The emperor was noncommittal about this, tapping his fingers on the table, and ordered: "First send someone to get the fragments to verify the authenticity, and also go to the Dragon Knight Pirates to inquire about the news..."

With an order, everyone started working.

The Divine Right of Kings now has a large number of people in the Evil Spirit Sea, so it is not difficult to verify the intelligence.

An hour later, the news came back.

"President, the fragment has been verified. There is indeed a map fragment in the undersea prison, but I am not sure what number it is."

"President, according to the information obtained by the Dragon Knight Pirates, their young master was imprisoned on the fourth floor of the prison last week because he burned down the Octopus King's casino. The Dragon Knight Pirates were indeed imprisoned. There is a reward, and I want to secretly help him escape from prison. The reward is a dragon training stone..."

Everyone present was stunned when two consecutive verification messages came back.

"Could it be that what Jack said is true?" The smile was a bit incredulous.

"But if it's true, why did Jack tell us? Doesn't this give us a chance?" The devil frowned.

"It's very simple, because he wants us to have a conflict with the Octopus King, and the other party doesn't need Fragment Two. He can sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tell us the news. There are only benefits to him, no harm." Calm analysis.

"Then let's... go?" Smile hesitated.

"Go! Because there is a restriction of 'you can't assemble the fragments without saving people', we can only go. After all, we are the party with the greatest advantage now, and we are also the party that most hopes for a quick victory. We must come forward when encountering such a thing, otherwise Others will not come forward, and if the delay continues, it will become more and more disadvantageous for us. "

The emperor said: "Of course, going to visit the prison does not mean to rob the prison. Remember, our goal is just to gather the nine fragments. When we meet that person, we can use some tricks to trick Huairou into taking out the fragments. , as long as the fragments are together and the entrance is opened, we will retreat immediately. As for the No. 2 fragment, it would be best if we can buy it from the opponent or come over. If not, it doesn't matter. Even without this fragment, we still have the advantage. The biggest party!”

"Then we...just agree to Jack?" Smile asked uncertainly.

"Agree, and it might be a good thing to set the gathering place of the fragments in the undersea prison: precisely because the undersea prison is the territory of the Octopus King, right under the Octopus King's nose, no one can do anything here, Jack No matter how powerful he is, it is impossible to bribe the Octopus King. In other words, the underwater prison is the safest and fairest meeting place for everyone. "

After the emperor analyzed it, he seemed to be convinced.

Turning on the phone, he informed Jack of the decision to set the meeting place at the underwater prison.

[Edward Jack: Let’s meet in the underwater prison... It’s no problem on my side, but the ghost captain is also involved. What did he say? 】

[Emperor: I will discuss it with him later. 】

[Edward Jack: OK, I’ll leave it to you. 】

After hanging up the private chat with Jack, the emperor immediately found the friends of the 'Ghost Captain'.

[Emperor: Some emergencies have occurred. The meeting point of the relevant fragments is tentatively determined to be on the fourth floor of the undersea prison...]

[Captain Ghost:? ? ? 】

[Captain Ghost: What trap did you set in the underwater prison? 】

[Emperor: This is absolutely not the case! The reason this time is that something happened on Jack's side...]

Emperor Balabala explained everything and quickly explained the cause and effect.

[Emperor: This is the specific situation. If you don’t believe it, you can ask Jack yourself. 】

[Captain Ghost: Helping someone escape from prison ended up being imprisoned himself... This sounds ridiculous! 】

[Emperor: Yes, we also think it’s fake, but that’s the fact. In addition, there are actually some benefits to arranging the meeting place in the underwater prison...]

The emperor once again analyzed the advantages of the underwater prison. The arguments were clear and the logic was rigorous. He wrote a short paper in a flash.

[Captain Ghost: What you said makes sense, so be it. 】

[Emperor: In terms of time, do you have any requirements? 】

[Captain Ghost: As for the time, please refer to the local time. On the 26th, at 8pm, everyone will enter the underwater prison and start the meeting. How about it? 】

[Emperor: Yes. 】

[Emperor: Please arrive on time. 】

[Captain Ghost: Don’t worry. 】

After closing the private chat, Mu You breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, he successfully guided the meeting place to a relatively favorable position for him.

The visiting areas of the underwater prison only have the first, second and fourth floors, and each person can only visit once a year. At the same time, a high visiting fee of 100 years of life is required.

But this cost is definitely nothing to people like Emperor Jack.

After coming back to his senses, Mu You didn't have much time to pay attention to the fragments, but hurriedly focused his attention back on the game.

He had been catching the mana dragon in the Sunlight Forest just now, and just when the emperor sent a private message, a text suddenly popped up on his game interface that surprised him.

[Pumpkin lantern special effects, trigger! 】

[Under the cyan glow of the pumpkin lantern, you see some strange scratches on the golden-red mud beneath your feet. These are not animal footprints, but more like irregular marks made by plants such as tree branches. 】

"Traffic marks? Tree people? Saplings?"

Mu You frowned. He knew that there were many small tree people living in the Sunlight Forest, but they were basically active only during the day.

And if it was just an ordinary tree person, it shouldn't be specifically reminded by the pumpkin lantern. After all, there were similar traces of branches everywhere in this forest.

No matter what it was, Mu You decided to chase it and see.

[You followed the traces and searched all the way, and finally came to a bush. ]

[Through the gap in the bushes, you saw a strange-looking figure. ]

[It was a slender tree person about 15 cm tall, but compared to the thin torso, the part of its head was a cortical hemisphere composed of folds and grooves, making it look seriously top-heavy, and it looked like a "walking brain". ]

[At this moment, the tree person with a "brain" on his head was picking leaves on the mud, stuffing them into his mouth one by one to taste the taste. ]

[The omniscient crystal fed back the other party's information for you. 】

【Wisdom Tree: A special tree plant with super high intelligence. It is active only at night. When it moves, it is fragile and timid. Once a large creature approaches or attacks it too suddenly, it will faint and die on the spot.

When it is rooted, it turns back to an ordinary plant, and its survival ability is greatly increased, but it will lose its wisdom and produce a wisdom fruit every day. 】

Wisdom Tree!

Mu You's eyes lit up.

Others may not have heard of this thing, but as a potion master, he is well-known!

As early as when he first started learning potions, he saw a detailed description of this creature in Vivian's books, and it was one of the creatures mentioned in particular.

The 'wisdom fruit' produced by the wisdom tree can be used to make a variety of important potions, such as smart potions, photographic memory potions, etc.

But the most important and famous one is the 'perception potion': after taking it, it can double the ability to comprehend for a period of time. In other words, if you drink a bottle of perception potion before learning magic, the progress of comprehension in the next course will double!

The rarity of this thing is unquestionable. Although it is not as precious as a unicorn, it is at least at the level of a mandrake, which is enough to be a treasure of the town.

If Mu You encounters this kind of thing, he must not let it go, and he will capture it decisively.

Mu You first controls the character to set a circle of traps around, and then appears to chase.

[The Wisdom Tree discovered your existence, and when it saw you rushing towards it, it immediately began to flee in panic. ]

[The Wisdom Tree stepped lightly over your trap with a zigzag step, and the right point of force made it not trigger any traps...]

This thing is really as good as its reputation. Traps are completely useless to it, and it was seen through at a glance.

Next, Mu You tried to capture the other party with teleportation and chain claws.

The result also ended in failure. It's not that it can't be caught, but because the other party is too timid, so timid that as long as Mu You teleports to the other party, it will lie dead directly.

Here, the meaning of "lying dead" is not pretending to be dead, but being really scared to death! That's right, this thing is so timid.

Once the other party dies, the body will disappear, and it will take a long time for the next resurrection, and it is unknown where it will be resurrected.

This fundamentally blocks Mu You's possibility of capturing the other party by force.

There is no other way, Mu You had to go back in time and follow closely behind, not daring to get too close, nor being pulled too far away.

The only way now is to constantly consume its physical strength, and only after its physical strength is completely exhausted and it has to take root, can it be captured.

[The wisdom tree reached out and fumbled in the brain stem, and threw a wisdom fruit to you! ]

[You caught the wisdom fruit, and the crystal clear fruit in front of you made you salivate, and you couldn't help biting it...]

[You were poisoned by the wisdom fruit! ]

[You are dead, life span -100 years, experience value -100...]

"Backtrack!"

[Time flows, you return to five seconds ago. 】

[...The crystal fruit in your hand makes you salivate again, you...]

This time, before the character ate the fruit, Mu You quickly clicked on the "Wisdom Fruit" and extracted the fruit into reality.

A fruit as clear as crystal appeared in Mu You's palm.

The moment he saw this fruit that was only the size of a glass bead, Mu You couldn't help swallowing his saliva, subconsciously wanting to swallow it, and hurriedly calmed his mind and put the fruit away, out of sight, out of mind.

This is the effect of this fruit: any creature that sees it will instinctively want to swallow it.

However, this thing is highly poisonous and can only be eaten after being used as medicine. Anyone who swallows it directly will surely die, and will lose ten years of life at a time.

The Wisdom Tree often relies on throwing the Wisdom Fruit at the enemy to poison the enemy to help itself escape.

Fortunately, as a professional potion master, Mu You will not make such common sense mistakes.
