Chapter 96: Play Tricks on Me

Chapter 96: Playing tricks on me?

"Yes, we can definitely find it." Zoro replied very definitely: "Although I was in a hurry when I ran out, I have sprinkled scent powder to mark the route along the way. As long as we follow the mark and return all the way."

"Well done, now let's go back and see if those treasures are still there."

According to Solo, what he sprinkled was a powder with a relatively obvious smell, but this was only relative to the sense of smell of ordinary creatures, and it was basically difficult for the human nose to smell it. Although the gods are stronger than mortals in many aspects, their sense of smell is not necessarily much better, so unless they look for it purposefully, it is impossible to notice it. After I gave Bailang the powder to smell, the rest of the work was much easier. Bailang's nose has a much stronger sense of smell than ordinary creatures. To us it is just a faint smell, but to him it is extremely strong.

After following the scent all the way back and running through a few passages, Zoro began to remember the way, so our speed became much faster. After continuing through several more passages, Zoro suddenly stretched out his hand to block us. "Stop, the temporary warehouse is right in front."

"You guys wait here, I'll let the demon pets go over and take a look." I stopped Zoro and the others from moving forward, then stretched out my hand and pointed forward, and the dart immediately jumped off my shoulder, and disappeared after a few ups and downs. At the corner ahead.

By connecting the dart's field of view, I can clearly see a huge natural cave appearing on the side of the passage ahead. Only a small half of this natural cave is land, and most of the area is occupied by a large area of ​​water. There are a few broken boxes scattered on the land here, but apart from these things, I didn't find anything that can be called a treasure.

"Zoro."

"What's going on?"

"Is the temporary treasure house you found in a cave that is mostly filled with water?"

"Yes."

"So where are the treasures piled?"

"It's in the open space near the entrance of the cave. There are a lot of crystal coins and various equipment. Some of them even rolled into the lake next to it."

"But now there are only a few broken boxes there."

"What?" Zoro looked very surprised after hearing what I said. "How could they move everything out so quickly? That's a lot of stuff!"

"Is there a lot of stuff?"

"It's enough for at least a dozen people to work on for an entire afternoon."

After listening to Zoro's words, I started to think. If there are relatively few things, it is possible to move them temporarily, but if there are really a lot of things, it will not be so easy to move them. Of course, space equipment can also be used for transportation, but the problem is that since the Russian Protoss piled those things here, it means that they lack suitable space equipment to store these things. Otherwise, why bother to store them? How simple is it to just take the space equipment and carry it wherever you want?

"Zoro, are there many people from the Protoss?"

"There are very few people. Apart from the few who are chasing us, there are only about a dozen people left."

"Is that so? It can't be transported quickly by relying on the number of people. It shouldn't be possible to transport space equipment, otherwise they don't need to store it here. In this case, it shouldn't be possible for them to transport things too far It's far away." Having said this, I suddenly saw a crystal coin by the lake from the perspective of the dart. Half of the crystal coin was soaked in the water and half was exposed on the shore. Since the cave was relatively dark, it was really difficult to find it without paying attention. "I think I know where they hid their things." After seeing the crystal coin, I had already guessed the tricks of the Russian protoss. They didn't actually transport the things away at all, they just threw them all into the nearby lake. Although it will be more difficult to salvage it later, it is better than being discovered by the enemy, right?

"You know?" Zoro couldn't see the scene, so naturally he couldn't think of what I was thinking of.

"Everything should be in the lake."

"In the lake?" Zoro was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses. "These guys are really thieves. Most people will definitely think that they have moved the things away, and they will never think that the treasure is actually still in the cave. Haha, this time we are all at an advantage. President, let's hurry up Go get all those things?"

"Wait." I pulled Zoro back, who was about to rush out. "Are you an idiot? You usually look pretty smart, but why do you short-circuit when it comes to fighting?"

"Where did I make a mistake?"

"Are you stupid? If the Russian protoss really transported all the things away, then of course the cave would be empty now. But the problem is that the things are still there at all! If you were you, you would just leave like this It?"

"You mean...?" Zoro finally came to his senses. For such an important treasure, it would be impossible if there was no one to guard it. Therefore, on the surface, it seems that there is no one in the cave, but in fact, there must be guards lurking somewhere, and there are probably a lot of them. "President, what should we do now?"

"Do you even need to ask?" I patted Solo's head and said, "Of course we have to take care of the guards first."

Since you want to kill the guard, you must first determine the guard's location. We don't want to kill most of the guards and then suddenly another guard pops up from somewhere and launches a 'suicide' attack, using divine power to self-destruct and wipe out the entire cave and the treasures inside, so we must first determine the specific locations of all the guards, and then ensure No protoss would have the chance to self-destruct.

Naturally, the task of searching for the target cannot be left to Dart. After all, he just walked around the cave in a swagger, and he must have been discovered by the opponent. If I let the darts run around searching for caves, the guards hiding in the dark will probably understand my intentions immediately. When they are on guard, it will be even more difficult.

After recalling the darts, I said to Solo: "For the sake of the treasure, you have to perform a scene with us. Is this okay with you?"

"Acting?" Solo looked at me with some confusion, not understanding what I wanted him to do, but since he is now my subordinate, then my wish is his ultimate goal, and he must complete it no matter whether it works or not. . "President, what do you want me to play?"

"You will do this and this for a while...that and that..."

After my explanation, Solo and the other six people understood my intention. Because time was tight, we didn't have time to do any rehearsal, so we went straight into the cave.

"President, this is it." As soon as he entered the cave, Solo pretended to be excited and shouted to me who was walking behind: "There are piles of treasures here like a mountain, and there are also... Huh? Where are the treasures?" It seems like Having just discovered that all the treasures were gone, Zoro shouted in surprise, as if he was afraid that no one would hear.

I followed Solo into the cave, then looked around, and finally said, "Are you sure you have seen a lot of treasures here before?"

Zoro nodded desperately with an anxious look on his face. "Of course, I'm very sure. If you don't believe me, you can ask them." Solo pulled his companion to testify.

Upon hearing what Solo said, other players and NPCs nearby also quickly helped to prove it, and these people also talked about what kind of treasures and other things were piled up somewhere, describing the pictures. The sound is so vivid that even the most suspicious people should believe that the treasure does exist.

While listening to these people's explanations, I observed the environment inside the cave, and then suddenly I snapped my fingers. Several demon pets headed by Ling appeared beside me instantly. As soon as Xiaochun appeared, he lit a white light ball and illuminated the cave. At the same time, there were several sounds of objects falling into the water on the opposite lake. Although the sound was not loud, the ripples on the lake betrayed them.

Ling said to me in spiritual contact: "I feel six. One is on the top of the cave 200 meters ahead of us and is currently hiding behind the stalactite. The other one is near the cave entrance. Behind the pile of stalagmites. There are four others who were originally on the shore of the lake in the distance, but they all hid under the water after Xiaochun lit up the lighting technique."

I nodded slightly, and then said to the demon pets around me in a pretentious manner: "Look around. If the treasure is left here, there should be some traces."

"Yes." The several humanoid demon pets summoned by me turned around and observed the surrounding environment. In the end, they found nothing if they went alone. However, at this moment, A Di Na suddenly walked towards the water, and as she gradually approached the lake, I could clearly feel that several strands of magic were gathering. Feeling those magic powers, I couldn't help but sneer in my heart.

Ling's voice appeared again in the spiritual contact. "Hmph, these rookies can't keep calm anymore. I feel three new magic waves."

I replied: "I feel it too, but not as much as you. The psychological endurance of these gods is really weak, and they can no longer hold their breath."

Just as we were having a conversation with our hearts, Grandma had already walked to the lake. After standing there and looking around, A Di Na suddenly squatted down, then leaned over and put her entire face into the water as if to wash her face, but she just put her head deep in, and soon she was again Withdrew. "Master, the water here is hot!"

"There are lava channels nearby, so the temperature of the rock will not be too low. It is not surprising that the water is hot. Have you discovered anything?"

All the demon pets shook their heads, but only Bai Lang said: "I smell that many people have come here and left from another direction."

"It seems that they really moved things. They are really cunning." Solo said.

A Di Na said: "So what if you are cunning? We haven't discovered it yet."

"Yes, Master, we'd better catch up quickly!"

"Okay, let's set off immediately." Following my order, the demon pets, Zoro and the others rushed out together.

After listening to the fading sounds in the passage and disappearing for a long time, a sudden splash of water suddenly rose up in the originally calm lake, and a figure stood up from it. "Hmph, you bunch of idiots, just take your time and chase our bait."

"Boss, I didn't expect your plan to actually work!" A blond-haired protoss jumped down from behind the stalactite on the roof of the cave.

With the appearance of these two protoss, more than a dozen protoss quickly appeared in the cave. However, just when they thought they had deceived us, my demon pets and I were hiding. Near the exit of the cave. The retreating footsteps that the group of protoss heard just now were actually a group of death guards that I summoned temporarily. They used their footsteps to confuse our footsteps and make your protoss mistakenly think that we are far away. Originally, this move was doomed to fail as long as it encountered a protoss like Ling who was sensitive to elements, but fortunately, the Russian protoss basically focused on strengthening the body as a development route. Not only were there very few mage professions, but even if they had , the level is not high either. It is precisely because of this that we are proud to hide in such a close place without being discovered.

While listening to the conversation of the protoss in the cave, I asked about the demon pets that had just been summoned through spiritual contact. "Do you have a sense of the exact number of people?"

A Dianna said: "I can confirm that there are eight in the lake, and those treasures are indeed in the water, but because the other party was probably anxious to hide everything in the water, they threw it away, so the equipment and supplies were all They are scattered everywhere on the bottom of the lake. It may take a lot of effort to salvage them later."

"Let's talk about the salvage later. Aren't there you and Xiao Longnu? Okay, A Di Na confirmed that there are eight in the water and how many are on the shore?"

Ling said: "In addition to the two I mentioned at the beginning, I felt three more magic waves when A Di Na approached the water. One of them was hiding behind the pile of stalagmites at the entrance together with the previous one, and there were two more. They are all hidden behind the stalactites on the roof of the cave."

"That means there are five on the shore?"

Ling corrected: "I only felt five. I'm not sure how many there are."

"There must be a leak." The princess suddenly said: "I felt a total of fifteen characteristic spiritual waves there, which means there should be fifteen gods there. Sister Ling found five, and Sister A Di Na confirmed There are eight in the water, so there are only thirteen, where are the two more?”

Xiaochun said: "It seems that these guys are not all rookies. There are at least two who can keep their breath. But this will put us in trouble. What will happen to the two undiscovered enemies? How to find it?"

"Master, didn't you just leave the ghost bugs there? Have you seen them?" Ling suddenly asked.

I nodded and said, "They showed up after we left, but there were only thirteen of them, and the other two never came out."

"Cunning guy!" Xiaochun sighed: "It would be great if the whole cave was filled with water."

A Dianna also said: "Yes! Now I can only guarantee that these two undiscovered gods are definitely not in the water. I have nothing to do on land. No matter how powerful my echolocation is, I can't do it in such an open cave. Use it in the 'hole'!"

The princess suddenly suggested: "Would you like to take a risk?"

"What do you mean?" I looked at the princess in surprise.

"It's very simple. Aren't we right at the entrance of the cave? After a while, I suddenly flashed into the cave and gave an indiscriminate mental shock. Even if the opponent is a high-level protoss, it is inevitable that he will be stunned for a second or two. By then, as long as you can catch Just take the opportunity to kill them both."

"No." Ling objected: "The power of your indiscriminate mental impact is not small, but unfortunately the effect time is too short. If it is a close combat, one or two seconds is enough for us to kill seven or eight targets, but in a while we have to To find those two targets within one or two seconds, we still have to cross the distance between us to complete the attack. This requirement is too high, and we will definitely not be able to make it in time!"

"Then I have no choice!"

"That's right." Xiaochun suddenly said: "Master, don't you have a crystal bubble that can trap an enemy for a period of time? Just let the dart bring that thing, and then let the princess use mental shock to stun those guys first. With the speed of a dart, we can definitely rush to him and trap him within two seconds. Wouldn’t that give us time to take action?”

"What about the other one?" Ling asked: "There are two enemies hidden!"

"I can only think of a way to solve one, and I just need to think of another way to solve the other one."

"I think Yeyue can handle the other one." The princess said: "Yeyue's Petrified Eyes don't need to consider the attack distance at all. They just need to keep an eye on the target. They can definitely control the opponent before they can react. However, To completely petrify a protoss will probably consume a lot of money, so Yeyue will no longer be able to use the petrified pupil to deal with others, and can only engage in hand-to-hand combat."

"It doesn't matter, as long as we can control those two guys, let's start taking action now." My decision finally played a decisive role, and the demon pets were quickly ready to launch a surprise attack. At the same time, I I also let Zoro and the others understand our intentions in handwriting, but I did not assign tasks to them, because after all, they are not my demon pets. They have to deal with so many targets at the same time, and their cooperation will probably make mistakes.

After the plan is decided, I will do the final countdown. I stretched out a hand, then withdrew one finger, and then withdrew another finger, just like this, I silently prepared for the countdown. Finally, when my hand clenched into a fist, the princess was the first to rush in from the hole.

After laughing at us, the gods in the cave just started discussing how to move these treasures. However, just when they were halfway through their discussion, an extremely cute little beauty suddenly flashed in from the entrance of the cave. Before the gods could react, the little beauty's eyes suddenly flashed. The gods immediately instinctively wanted to hide. Unfortunately, there was no way to dodge the indiscriminate mental impact. In an instant, all the gods present seemed to be attacked at the same time. The man was hit on the head like a hammer, and he fell back with a muffled groan.

Although the thirteen protoss in the center of the cave were knocked down, the princess did not look at them. Instead, she concentrated on observing other places in the cave, wanting to discover the hidden ones at the first time. Two gods. It's a pity that the strength of those two guys seems to be far beyond our imagination. The princess's indiscriminate mental attack itself is much weaker than the directional attack. The opponent is a god and has high mental resistance, so it turns out to be ineffective.

Although our previous plans outside were all formulated for the situation where the other party was shaken out by the mental shock, we have not thought about what to do if the mental shock is ineffective. Therefore, although something went wrong, our actions were not at all Not slow. The moment the princess realized that the mental shock was ineffective, a dazzling ball of light was shot into the cave. The extremely strong light instantly turned the cave inside white. Even if the opponent was not fainted now, Don't expect to see anything either.

The strong light ball appeared and disappeared quickly. After entering the cave for more than ten seconds, the light ball suddenly went out, and the surrounding area instantly fell into darkness again, and due to the previous strong light, now After it got dark, it felt like the cave was even darker.

The two protoss hiding in the dark were still proud that they had not been knocked down by the opponent's mental shock, but then the light ball that suddenly appeared really made them suffer. Their eyes were turned white by the light ball. Nothing can be seen. But they were not worried when they arrived. After all, the location where they were hiding was still far away from the entrance of the cave, so even if they couldn't see it, the other party wouldn't be able to find it for a while.

Although they had good intentions in their hearts, the two protoss were suddenly dumbfounded after their eyesight gradually recovered. Because during the period of temporary blindness caused by the strong light just now, a large area of ​​land near the entrance of the cave was completely covered by a layer of purple fog, and that The fog is still expanding rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. Its front end has extended to the lake surface, and it will soon completely fill the entire cave.

Although the two protoss didn't know what the mist was, they were very sure that it was definitely not good for them. However, even if they knew it was no good, they had nothing to do. It is true that they are the gods, but the gods also have things they are good at and things they are not good at. The strength of the two of them is indeed very strong. It is no problem for them to kill ten or eight ordinary gods, but it is difficult for them to dispel the fog. It's not that they don't want to disperse, it's just that they don't have the right expertise and there's no way to disperse them.

Just when the two protoss were anxious and helpless, the fog had gradually spread to the entire cave. Now the entire cave has been covered by thick purple mist. Although this fog cannot be said to be invisible, it is definitely not comparable to ordinary fog. Even if they have night vision capabilities, the two protoss can barely guarantee five or five in such fog. The visual distance is less than one meter. You can't see anything beyond five meters.

The spread of the fog made the two protoss more and more worried, but I became more and more relieved. The fog that just spread is not an ordinary fog, but an evil fog that spreads from my ring. This thing can block other people's sight, but it is like a induction to me. As long as something enters this evil fog, it will be just like in my body. No matter where you are, it doesn't matter which disguise method you use, I can feel it. While the fog completely enveloped the cave, the specific locations of my fifteen targets were clearly shown in my senses, and even their current postures were clearly visible. There's nothing better to describe this feeling than having nothing to hide from.

After locking the location of those targets, I immediately commanded the demon pets to move. The first thing to deal with is the two guys who are hiding the deepest. The reason why these rookies were discovered before was entirely because they had unstable minds and gathered magic power too early, so even if we leave them until the end, they probably won’t have the courage to self-destruct, and some may even Maybe he will turn to us if the situation is not right. But the two masters who have been hiding are different. It can be seen from the previous performance that these two are masters who often participate in battles. If they find that nothing can be done in the end, they are really likely to go to extremes and self-destruct, so the thirteen gods in the middle are fine and hide. But the two in the distance must not stay.

After determining the target, my demon pets no longer hesitated. The first one to take action was the princess who made a mistake at first. Because the previous mental shock failed to work, she felt quite embarrassed, so after identifying the target this time, she immediately focused all her mental power on one of the targets.

Targeted directional mental strikes and ranged mental shocks are not of the same magnitude. The previous time, the protoss only felt as if his head had been hit by something, although it hurt a little. , but it did not cause him to lose consciousness or lose control of his body, but this time he felt as if his head was about to explode. A terrifying consciousness actually projected his own image directly into his head. You must know that this behavior is equivalent to forcing two souls into one body. If the two souls can cooperate with each other, it will be fine. If they are hostile, there will only be one result - ping. The protoss' head exploded like a rotten watermelon under the killing blow where the princess concentrated all her mental power, and all the contents in the head spurted out.

The other protoss had no idea about the tragic death of his companion. The fog blocks the line of sight, and the mental attacks are not like magic. There is no sound or energy fluctuations. Except for those who specialize in the mental system, they cannot feel it at all. However, it was useless even if he felt it, because not only was he unable to help, but he was also close to death. While the guy was looking around nervously, he didn't notice a faint shadow gradually forming behind him.

Sayoko herself is a resentful spirit. In this evil fog composed of various evil forces mixed together, she is completely integrated with the environment, so even the powerful gods cannot detect her approach. , and the price of neglect is life. As Sayoko's ghostly touch touched the back of the guy's head, all the hair on that guy's body trembled, but before he could react, Sayoko had already completed the attack.

The two most dangerous protoss were eliminated in an instant, and the remaining targets were much easier to deal with.
