Chapter 70 The Plan to Deceive People

Following Rose's fingers, we found that there seemed to be a faint passage between the dense debris in front of us. Looking through the gaps between the many floating objects, we could clearly see a... No, it should be said to be half. A floating island.

The half of the floating island is not very big. Although I don't know how big it is originally, the remaining part is only as large as two football fields at most. In the remaining half of the floating island, you can see a pavilion located on the edge of the floating island. There is also a part of a large building hanging on the broken half of the floating island. The edge part, but because we can't find where the other half-la building went, we don't know how big this building was before. We can only estimate from the height that it should be a quite large building.

In fact, the biggest gain from seeing the Banla floating mountain over there was that it helped us confirm that all the messy things floating around us are part of that floating mountain. After all, normally mud and stones should not fly into the sky. Come up. Of course, this gravity-free mission space itself is already quite weird.

After confirming that the surrounding things were all fragments of the floating mountain, Rose said: "Let's go take a look at the remaining half of the mountain over there first?"

"Agree." After Zhenhong said this, he greeted directly and started flying over there. She has the ability to control gravity, so she can fly by herself in this gravity-free environment without being affected at all.

I saw that Zhenhong had already flown away first, so I had no choice but to spread my wings and catch up. Rose and Christina followed closely. This proves the benefits of teaming up with advanced players. It really saves a lot of things if everyone can fly.

Although the Floating Mountain over there is actually not very far away from us, it is a bit difficult to get there. The space between us and the Floating Mountain is almost full of fragments of the Floating Mountain. Zhen Hong can directly hit it due to her rough skin and thick flesh, but I can't follow her example. After all, Christina and Rose are following behind. It's not a progressive type, and the defense is not that abnormal, so I pushed everything in the way aside along the way, and Christina and Zhenhong behind me cleared a passage.

After finally getting through the debris field, we successfully landed on the remaining floating island. Zhenhong was the first to rush towards the half-built building that had become a dangerous building. However, there was obviously no one inside that thing, so Zhenhong just went over and took a look, but found nothing. Christina and I already knew that we wouldn't find anything there, so we didn't even look there. The reason why I came to this floating island. The purpose is not to find something. It's about looking for traces.

It can smash half of such a large floating island into pieces. The person who takes action is definitely very powerful. However, no matter how strong the opponent is, they will always leave some traces when attacking. So we have to see if we can find some traces on the island left behind after the other party took action.

Facts have proved that not only can such traces be found, but there are many of them. We walked around the island casually and soon found several traces. Several of the traces are damage caused by weapons, which are traces left in the battle. However, these traces are obviously not left by one person, because some are deep and some are shallow, and there are many types of weapons. It is obviously not Caused by one person.

In addition to these traces, there is another trace which is the location of the crack on the floating island. Although the fracture near this place can definitely be broken open, judging from the internal marks, it seems that the blow was caused by a large weapon cutting from top to bottom. Of course, what we can be sure of is the damage caused by this giant weapon. As for the specific damage, we can't tell.

After inspecting the floating mountain, we observed the surrounding situation.

This mission world feels very strange. You can't even see the ground. We can only see a vast sea of ​​white clouds far below the Banla Floating Mountain where we are, but there is a blue sky above and around us, and other floating mountains can be seen within the range visible to the naked eye. s position.

However, it feels a little inappropriate to say that these are floating mountains, because the floating mountains here actually have no buoyancy at all. This world itself has no gravity. As long as you don't drill down by yourself, even if you jump out of the edge of the floating mountain, you won't fall down at all. Instead, you will fly forward with the force of your jump. But you don’t expect to be able to fly out of space all the time, because although it is a gravity-free environment, there is air, so there is air friction. After flying for a certain distance, the inertia will disappear and the speed will become slower and slower. If there is wind, You may even be blown away by the wind. Of course, what I'm talking about is that you don't have the ability to fly. If you can fly like ours, then there will be no problem.

In addition to the fact that the world itself has no gravity, the floating mountain here seems to have its own artificial gravity. As long as you fly directly above the floating mountain, you can feel the gravity within ten meters of the mountain. The same normal gravity as on the ground, but this situation only occurs directly above the floating mountain, so this floating mountain seems to have its own gravitational field.

"I didn't expect that there would be a map world like this. What should we do now?" Christina asked.

Rose looked around and said: "It's just a change in the map structure. In fact, the mission form will not change much. The only thing that is a little special within the sight is the floating mountain in the distance, so the only choice we can make is to go there. That’s it. And I’m sure the clues for future missions are definitely there. But we don’t necessarily need to explore the mission step by step.”

I know what Rose means is that we have a communicator, so we just need to ask Jin Coin and Song Zhenghe about their location. However, to be honest, I don't think the communicator can be used. This mission space is obviously a very large mission space at first glance, and our communication crystal has a receiving range. If the gold coins and Song Zhenghe are not near us, the communicator will be completely useless. This is a mission space after all. We don't have any transfer equipment here.

"In this case, let's get in touch now, right?" After hearing what Rose said, Zhenhong was anxious to contact Song Zhenghe and the others directly to find out the location.

Although I didn't think I could get through, it wouldn't be a big deal if I tried, so I turned on the communicator and tried it.

"Gold coins, can you hear me?"

"Boss?" Unexpectedly, our call was actually connected.

"Huh? It actually worked!"

"Why is it really cleared and false?" Jin Coin asked doubtfully: "Are you already on the mission? If so, come and help quickly."

"Are you in trouble?"

"It should be said that we have always been in trouble." Jin Coin said: "The tasks in this place are not very difficult, but this damn natural environment is simply a player killer!"

"Stop complaining. You've all been shaken outside. The entrance to the mission world in Japan is still blocked by hundreds of thousands of people fighting there. By the way, Matsumasa He and August Xun are here with you. Are you around?"

"We are here." Song Zhenghe and Ba8xun heard their names in the communication and responded directly.

As soon as I heard that they were with the gold coins, I quickly said: "You should separate from the gold coins quickly. Nobunaga Ghost Hands just came in with a group of people. He may encounter you at any time, so the three of you separate quickly and can't stay together anymore." ”

"What? Then I have to go through the mission alone?" Jin Coin asked in surprise upon hearing this.

"What are you worried about? Didn't we come in now? Besides, even if we are separated, can Song Zhenghe and August Xun really fight against you?"

"But two helpers are missing for nothing. The task will definitely become much more difficult!"

"Of course I know this. But there is nothing I can do. Ghost-handed Nobunaga doesn't listen to me."

"If you can't command him, just kill him quickly."

"I think it's a pity that they came in before us. It will take time to catch up with them. And if nothing else happens, they will definitely get to your side first. In addition, this time I have no intention of simply killing the ghost letter directly. long."

"If you don't kill him, are you still going to keep him?" Jin Coin asked.

"Of course not, listen to me, I have a plan."

"What kind of plan?"

"You tell me where you are first, and I'll tell you while I'm rushing towards you, so as not to waste time."

As soon as Gold Coin heard about it, he immediately told us how to find them. Not to mention, the route was quite complicated. However, there is a route indicated by gold coins, so it shouldn't be difficult to walk.

After getting the route information, Christina and I explained my plan to them while chasing the gold coins.

"You three are in the mission, and things outside may not be very clear. After the three of you entered the expansion mission here, open missions appeared in the Japanese and Chinese regions at the same time, allowing Japanese players to interact with us Frost Players from the Rose Alliance enter the mission to help or hinder the progress of the mission."

"We have already guessed this." Song Zhenghe said.

"What you didn't expect is what's behind." I said, "Do you know why the three of you have been on the mission for so long and no one has come in?"

When I asked Song Zheng congratulated them, they were really confused. August Xun thought for a moment and asked, "Did Yingyu or Blazing Dragon Princess do something outside?"

I didn't expect that August Xun knew so much about Yingyu Shenchu ​​and the others that he could guess it. I said directly: "Yes, it's Yingyu Shenqing and Blazing Dragon Princess who thought of a way to block the Japanese players outside."

"Can the two of them block all the players?" Jin Coin asked in surprise.

Song Zhenghe immediately said: "Of course it is not blocked by force, but by other methods." After Matsu Zhenghe finished speaking, he continued to ask: "Ziri, please tell me what is going on."

"Actually, it's easy to say. On the surface, there are only three people in the mission: you, Song Zhenghe, August Xun, and Jin Coin. Japanese players all think that you and August Xun are their people, and Jin Coin is ours, so On the surface, it seems that the mission is two against one, and you have an absolute advantage. Therefore, Yingyu Shenqing and Blazing Dragon Princess publicly stated this situation, and said that anyway, they already have an absolute advantage in the mission, no matter how many people enter, It's just the icing on the cake, and it doesn't mean much. It's better to do something in time, and block the entrance directly at the mission entrance. Otherwise, our Frost Rose Alliance's follow-up reinforcements will come in. As long as there are only the three of you in the mission space, on the surface, It seems that Japan has taken a big advantage. Under such a call, most Japanese players agreed with this idea, so they formed a defense line at the entrance to keep us all out, so that until now Someone just came in."

"That's wrong!" Matsumasa said: "Since we have decided to guard the door, why did Nobunaga come in first?"

"This can only be said to be Nobunaga's personal wish. Nobunaga was opposed to the plan of Sakura Rain and Blazing Dragon Princess from the beginning. He believed that all Japanese players would flock to the mission world together, and then Sabotage the progress of the mission. However, because everyone previously agreed with the plan of Yingyu Shenqing and Blazing Dragon Princess, they could not openly contradict everyone's opinions. So they reluctantly guarded the door here. However, after the reinforcements composed of high-level protoss and high-end players on our side arrived, Nobunaga Ghost Hands probably knew that something was wrong, so he ignored the guard work and got in directly with his men. "

"What about your so-called plan?"

"My plan is actually very simple. You three are absolutely guaranteed to complete the mission if you come during the mission. According to common sense, even if we don't enter the mission, you can still complete it smoothly. So whether we come to reinforce it seems It doesn’t make much sense. But. In fact, we have to come, because if there are only three of you in the mission, Japanese players will realize that both Matsu Masahe and August Kaoru can’t prevent the gold coins from completing the mission. This is not easy for us to establish The reputation of Matsumasa is a serious blow, so we must send people in, not to help you complete the task, but to let the Japanese players outside understand that this is force majeure and Matsumasa is not at fault."

Song Zhenghe nodded and said: "It makes sense."

I continued: "Now, since Nobunaga Ghost Hand ran in in a hurry, he has already made a mistake to the Japanese players outside, because everyone agreed before to guard the door and block the entrance to prevent us from entering. , as a result, Ghost-Hand Nobunaga did not block the door and ran in, causing us to come in as well. This is Ghost-Hand Nobunaga's fault, but if Ghost-Hand Nobunaga can prevent our mission, then his small fault will not It's not a fault. However, we can't let him stop us from completing the mission. In turn, we have to blame all the reasons for the success of the mission on him, so that Matsumasa He and August Xun will not be Japanese players hold grudges, but Nobunaga takes the blame for you, what do you think of this method?"

After listening to it, Song Zhenghe said: "It sounds good, but how to do it?"

"In fact, it's not that difficult, right?" August Xun suddenly said: "If we just want to shirk responsibility, we can design a game, and then let me or Matsumasa He rescue the ghost-handed Nobunaga, and then cause the consequences of rescuing him. Either I or Matsumasa will die, so that all the responsibility for the failure of our mission interception will be on Ghost Hand Nobunaga, and it has nothing to do with us. After we come out, we only need to play the video and complain a little, and Ghost Hand Nobunaga will definitely be convinced Don’t argue if you don’t speak for a long time.”

"Yes, that's what I mean. And when the time comes, we can act according to the situation. If there is a chance, we can even create more accidents and make Ghost-handed Nobunaga a complete fool. In the future, he will be among the Japanese players. His credibility will definitely plummet, let’s see how he goes against us in the future.”

"It sounds pretty good." Song Zhenghe said, "Then let's act quickly, shall we?"

"If you want to take action, you have to wait until we arrive!" I said and asked: "Where did you just say that the teleportation array leading down is? We are almost at the floating island."

"It's not a teleportation array, it's a teleportation channel. Anyway, it's in the house in the middle of the island. I just don't know if the ghost-hand Nobunaga will destroy that channel if he passes there."

"Hey, hey, can you stop being crow-like at this time?"

Although I really didn't want that to happen, unfortunately, Matsu Masagi's crow's mouth actually came true. When we arrived at the floating island, we immediately saw the central hall in ruins. We don't know what this building originally looked like, but now it has completely turned into a pile of ruins, and the so-called passage... well, even if there is no problem with that thing, we can't expect to go down unless the ruins are cleared out. .

fine. Although this expansion mission of the buff mission is a continuation of the buff mission, its mission environment is completely unrelated to the original mission, so we are not restricted in any attributes, and all magic pets can be summoned. The work of clearing the ruins was relatively fast with the help of my large group of summoned creatures. Several giant dragons pushed aside the large piles of broken bricks and rubble, and then the Qilin warriors cleaned up the remaining parts. In about five minutes, the so-called transmission channel appeared in front of us.

Song Zhenghe told me before that there was a teleportation channel here. I thought it was a teleportation array, but now that I saw the real thing, I realized that it was not what I thought. I think this thing is more like a slide than a transmission channel. The buried entrance is actually a huge hole, with energy pipes underneath. Just jump in and you'll follow the pipe all the way down. Finally reach the other end of the passage. This method of movement is not wrong to call it teleportation, but this thing is transmitted by a conveyor belt, which is completely different from the teleportation array.

After finding the entrance, we started jumping down. Of course, True Red is still taking the lead. Christina second. Rose followed, and I was in charge of the rear.

This passage looks like a tube of light from above, but after entering, it feels like there is nothing around it. It felt like I was just falling down. Fortunately, although I couldn't feel anything, my falling speed didn't get out of control and was always maintained at a stable speed.

Although we used a stable speed, the falling speed of this channel was still quite fast. It only took us two or three minutes to reach the bottom. During the fall, the surrounding pipe walls seemed to not exist, so we could clearly see the situation outside.

This floating island is located very high, and there are clouds far below. Before, when I looked at it from above, I felt that there were large white clouds everywhere. But when I actually fell into the clouds, I realized that the clouds were as beautiful as those seen from above. The feeling is completely different. The clouds we saw above were all white, and it felt like piles of marshmallows, with a very soft feeling. But when we entered the clouds, we realized that they were actually rain clouds, and they were like lightning. Thundering cumulonimbus clouds. As we shuttled down from the clouds, we could see barrel-thick lightning arcs snaking down in the sky around us. Sometimes they were only a few meters away from us. The terrifying effect would scare most people to death.

Fortunately, although the falling process was always accompanied by lightning, none of us were hit. It is estimated that the light channel also has a certain protection against lightning strikes, otherwise it would be impossible for such dense lightning to not hit us alone.

After successfully landing, we immediately observed the surrounding environment, and found that this place was completely in the middle of nowhere. Fortunately, the location where we landed happened to be right next to a lake, and there were only There is a trail, so unless Matsumasa and the others are underwater, there is no need to worry about finding the wrong path.

The ground here is actually a mountain forest. The surrounding plants look ordinary and the scenery is ordinary, but for some reason, I always feel colder and colder as I walk.

"Have you noticed that the temperature around you has been dropping?" I couldn't help but ask out loud.

In fact, everyone felt cold, but because it was not serious, no one ever said it. Now when they heard me say this, everyone immediately said that they also felt very cold.

If it were in reality, the cold might be caused by the wind, or it might be that the temperature is really low, but in the game, there are many conditions that can cause the air to become cold, so we still don’t know for the time being. what happened.

After everyone communicated with each other, we still couldn't find out what makes people feel cold, but at least we can be sure that this is not an illusion, because we all have the ability to detect illusions, so if this is an illusion, it must have been discovered long ago.

We couldn't figure out the situation, and we didn't want to waste time on this kind of thing. Anyway, it wasn't cold enough to affect our combat effectiveness, so no one paid much attention. However, as we continued on, we soon discovered something that quite surprised us.

We were walking well, but a Japanese player suddenly appeared on the road ahead, and he had turned into a corpse. After playing the game for so long, we have certainly seen a lot of corpses, but this is the first time we have encountered something so weird. The Japanese player in front of me is covered with a thick layer of white frost, and it makes a thumping sound when struck. It was obviously completely frozen. However, although we did feel that the temperature in this place was getting lower and lower as we walked along, it was just a little cold. The ambient temperature was at least ten degrees above, and even the surrounding green plants were growing lushly. This is obviously a sign that the temperature is still normal. However, under such a temperature, a body frozen in ice emerged here. This is not normal.

"Is this guy attacked by a frozen magic?" Zhenhong asked, knocking on the corpse on the ground.

Christina shook her head and said: "Not really. Most of the ice magic is a mixed attack magic like ice cone. In addition to the freezing effect, it also has physical attack effects. Most of the pure freezing magic is surface-based. Killer type. But look, the plants around here are not frozen at all, only this person himself is frozen, which is obviously not a characteristic of ice magic."

"If it's not an ice spell, then it's a special attack?" Rose stood up and looked around the surrounding environment. Then he said: "What do you think it is?"

"That's not possible." Christina said: "There are too many strange creatures in the game. Each ability is weirder than the last, so it's not surprising anything happens."

"If this is the case, then we must be careful in our subsequent actions." I said.

Rose nodded and said: "Everyone should be careful. As I said before, the tasks here are not difficult, but the environment is very harmful to the safety of the players, so we still have to be cautious and don't capsize on such a small matter. .”

Both Zhenhong and Christina nodded, and then cautiously came closer. I also took Eternity off the back of my hand and turned it into a sword shape in my hand. At the same time, I also took out the shield that I didn't usually use very much and put it directly in my hand. Have it on hand just in case.

After passing the corpse of the Japanese player, we walked forward for a while and unexpectedly came across the corpse of another Japanese player. This time it was worse than last time. Not only was the corpse frozen, but it was also broken. , there were fragments all over the floor. Fortunately, the pieces were all frozen, so they were all white and didn't look disgusting.

"How many people from Ghost Hand Nobunaga and others came in before?" Zhen Hong asked when he saw the fragments on the ground.

Christina thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be thirteen, not fifteen, I couldn't see clearly."

"Fifteen. I remember." Rose said.

"Then there are only thirteen left now." Zhenhong looked at the front and said, "Do you think there will be more ahead?"

"It shouldn't be just these two." Christina said: "It is normal to lose three to five. We can at least see more than one corpse."

In fact, Christina's guess was quickly confirmed, and not only were corpses found, but a pile of them appeared at once, but it was not a pile of corpses, but a pile of corpse fragments. Judging from the identifiable parts, it was conservatively estimated that there were three, maybe four, people in this place. The fragments were so broken and mixed together that it was really difficult to recognize them. But three or four people are about the same.

"It seems that this attacker is quite powerful!" Christina said: "The first and second times can be regarded as sneak attacks. Two people were killed in a row. Nobunaga's vigilance must have been high, so they can still do it again." If three people die, the opponent must be very powerful."

Rose added: "And have you noticed? There are no traces of fighting at all. The opponent obviously appeared suddenly and left with one blow. Ghost-handed Nobunaga and the others didn't even have a chance to fight back."

"Is that a highly mobile creature?" Zhenhong said, "It seems like it should be my strength."

"No, this is my strength." Christina suddenly looked at the woods on one side and said.

Realizing that Christina's reaction was abnormal, our eyes immediately moved over. As a result, we all saw the thing that Christina noticed. Now we finally understand what happened to Nobunaga's gang of men.

In the direction where Christina was looking, a faint transparent outline was moving furtively among the trees. This thing looks like a ball of transparent gas. It has no color and does not reflect light, but everything seen through it will be distorted to a certain extent. Although you can't see it if you don't pay attention, you can find it if you look carefully. As for Christina, she certainly didn’t see that thing because of her particularly sharp eyes. The reason why Christina was able to discover that thing was entirely because of her strong energy induction.

Compared to the appearance of force. The energy form of that thing is obviously much clearer, and anyone who can see the energy form can discover this thing. However, this thing is not the kind of thing that rushes forward swaggering. Even if it can be invisible, it still consciously uses surrounding plants as cover to move. This method definitely greatly enhances the stealth of this thing. Mobility. It is estimated that Ghost Hand Nobunaga and the others did not pay attention before, but that they still did not notice it.

This thing was circling around us at this time, obviously looking for an opportunity to strike, and it was very sensitive. When Christina looked at the thing before, it caught our attention. That thing immediately stopped. It wasn't until we looked away that it began to move again. This obviously shows that this thing has a certain degree of anti-reconnaissance awareness.

After we pretended not to notice this guy, he immediately started acting like that again. It keeps moving from behind one tree to another like lightning. Even though its roots are actually transparent, it still has the habit of looking for shelter.

Probably because I feel that it’s almost time to start after observing. The thing began to approach us cautiously. Then it gradually came closer to us.

The first target this guy targeted was Rose. I don’t know how he determined who among us was the weakest, but judging from this operation, his judgment was quite accurate.

After the thing circled us many times, it finally moved to the edge of the woods. The road ahead is ours. But the guy was still very careful at this time, and moved all the way to the tree closest to us on the roadside. Then, just when I was holding the eternity tightly and ready to take action, the thing suddenly moved. Its speed can be said to be as fast as lightning. Even with my reaction speed, I almost couldn't keep up. But fortunately, I was close to Rose, so I managed to catch up.

Just when the thing rushed in front of Rose, I happened to hit it from the side. With a gentle pick from the eternal, a small piece of the thing's body was immediately cut off, and the thing suddenly seemed to be frightened and used more energy than before. With lightning speed, he retracted into the woods where he had been hiding and ran twenty or thirty meters before stopping.

The total time of this fight was less than 0.1 second, and it was as fast as lightning. For ordinary players, let alone fighting, the battle would end without even reacting. The vigilance of that thing is also quite exaggerated. After being hit, it dodges more than 20 meters in the blink of an eye. This safety awareness is really strong enough.

Seeing that the thing ran so far away, it was obvious that it was not planning to attack again in a short period of time. I took the opportunity to look at the small group of things that I had cut off on the ground, but when I lowered my head, I realized that the thing was gone.

"Stop looking for it, that stuff will evaporate naturally and dissipate in the air before you cut it off." Rose seemed to have noticed that I was looking for the fragment, so she woke up.

"Boss, your sword!" As soon as I finished listening to Rose's words, I heard Zhen Hong shouting. When we looked down, we discovered that there was a thick layer of white frost hanging on the front half of Eternity. Now we finally know where those ice corpses came from.

"What is that thing?" Christina asked: "President, can't you read the attributes of targets you have fought against? Have you seen the attributes of this thing?"

I nodded and said: "This thing is called the Lonely Spirit, an undead type, a branch species of the ghost type. Its specialty is called the cold heart, which can freeze all targets."

"Freeze all targets? Isn't that invincible?" Zhenhong asked in surprise.

"It's not invincible. This kind of freezing has limitations. As long as the overall attributes are stronger than him, it will be fine."

"Does that mean we're all okay?"

"Not necessarily. It just means that if we are touched, the freezing effect will be much weaker. It doesn't mean that it will be useless at all. But at least we don't have to worry about turning into ice sculptures."

"That's fine. But this thing is so fast, how are we going to kill it?"

"What do you want to kill?" I looked at Zhenhong and asked.

Zhenhong looked at me quite surprised, and then suddenly reacted after a few seconds. "Boss, could you be...?"

"You're right." I directly confirmed Zhenhong's guess. "Since you want to deceive Nobunaga, you have to find a reasonable situation. Whatever happens in this sudden attack is reasonable, and it is suitable for arranging the reasonable death of Matsu Masagi."

"But how do you make sure that this thing will attack Ghost Hand Nobunaga first?" Christina asked. (To be continued...)
