Chapter 429: Get Insurance First

Regarding the movements of the Rainbow Alliance group, our initial guess is that the other party plans to contact those who previously provided them with flying battleships in order to obtain another batch of flying battleships.

My guess was very reasonable, because the opponent's fleet suffered heavy losses, and it is normal to replenish its troops now. And according to our intelligence, the flying battleship the other party obtained last time was brought back from somewhere in South America. At that time, the people of the Rainbow Alliance happened to be heading to South America secretly, so I guessed that they were planning to get another batch of warships back. This kind of thing has a motive and a basis, and it couldn't be more reasonable. However, something is wrong with the current situation.

The other party came to the Demon Locking Forest. This is no longer South America. This is inconsistent with the original situation. The monsters sealed in places like the Demon Locking Forest are completely incompatible with those advanced flying warships. , so the possibility that the other party obtained the flying battleship from here is extremely slim.

Then, if the flying battleship part is excluded, the other party's motive for coming here is probably not to gain something, but may be to change their mind and plan to cause damage.

In fact, it is understandable that the Rainbow Alliance has such an idea. They first obtained a large number of warships, hoping to strengthen themselves, but it turned out that relying on outsourcing of powered aircraft could not defeat us who could produce them in-house, so the other party changed their way of thinking. Since strengthening ourselves is not enough, then making the enemy weaker means reducing our strength.

The strength of our Frost Rose Alliance can now be said to be deeply ingrained. We have to rely purely on the strength of players to fight us. Although it is not impossible to do it, it is obviously very difficult. Therefore, the opponent intuitively shifts the target to NPC forces. superior.

The biggest difference between the game "Zero" and ordinary online games is that there is no GM, that is, there is no network administrator. The rules in the game are actually reflected in the form of NPC conservative forces. In other words, NPCs take on the work of GMs. However, there is a big difference between NPC and GM, that is, GM is a person hired by the game company to maintain the order of the game. They are paid by the game company and must obey the order of the game company. Therefore, in most cases, GMs The bottom is transcendent. Because they're not in the game at all. It's like the concept of "god". Why can gods be transcendent? It is because they are not in the human world and everything in the human world has no direct interest in them. Therefore, "gods" in the traditional sense can do things that "humans" cannot. Because they have no desire or desire for "people".

The GM itself is managing the game, not playing the game, so they are not players, which means that although they are in the game, they are not a part of the game. It can be said that the GM is the god in the game. They are aloof, so the players basically cannot have any effective influence on the GM. Of course, whether you want to retaliate or win over someone in reality is another matter. Because that is no longer the scope of the game. As far as the rules of the game itself are concerned, the GM is unshakable. This is quite certain.

However, the game "Zero" is different from ordinary games. She runs completely autonomously and has no GM at all. In other words, there is no real game manager. It is the NPC in the game that controls the game rules.

As we all know, the game "Zero" is highly liberal, and it is not a simple fighting game. Players who like to fight can certainly fight. However, players who like to build or do research can also play various life occupations in the game. Players who like to travel can explore various game maps or travel to absolutely safe public tourist maps. This is all possible. It is even possible for the elderly to simply play games and use an auxiliary sleep system to solve their insomnia problem.

Of course, in addition to the above intuitive game methods, there are also more complex game methods, such as diplomacy.

The management of social relationships is also a very common human behavior, including the relationships between people and the relationships between organizations.

If "Zero" wants to use NPCs to replace the GM, these NPCs must have abilities similar to those of the GM. The reason why GMs in general games can manage the game is because they have super authority. In the game, they can call the wind and rain, kill a player at any time or directly manipulate their data. It is like gods controlling mortals. The manifestation of this absolute power is the fundamental guarantee for the GM to be able to manage the game world. Otherwise, if the GM cannot defeat the advanced players in the game, then how can he still manage it?

Similarly, the NPC in "Zero" needs super strength to manage the game. Therefore, the work of the GM in "Zero" is divided into several levels.

The first level is the most basic, but also the most powerful level - Law.

The ring of commandments is the concrete embodiment of the law. However, because this thing is too powerful and directly manages the underlying protocols and basic laws, this part cannot have the slightest self-awareness, otherwise the game itself will become a huge intelligent program and no longer a world. Therefore, the embodiment of this law in the game is the ring of commandments. An absolute being without thought or will.

The second level is the defender of the rules of the game - the upper god.

The top ten in the game are the second level of the game rules. They are responsible for maintaining the combined operation of the basic rules. Any abuse of the rules will be ruthlessly attacked by them. Managers at this level are already conscious beings, but their personalities are set to be quite independent, which means they will not have much interaction with players. So far, the Mother Goddess of the Earth, Nuwa, and Nu have had the most contact with me, but even so, they only interact with me occasionally, which is already quite rare.

There is no doubt about the strength of these high-ranking gods. In front of them, any fighting ability in the game is as worthless as the kindergarten martial arts competition champion. As long as they want to, they can destroy any so-called great power with just a look or a thought. This is the real manager, the omnipotent manager.

The third level is the specific executor of the rules of the game - the gods.

Don't think that our Frost Rose Alliance has defeated many protoss and doesn't take them seriously. These guys are actually the rule makers that normal players should have access to. These gods appear in the game as representatives of conservative ideas. They maintain the inherent rules in the game. They are the supervisors and enforcers of the rules.

Level 4. Influencers of game rules - free NPC and ordinary NPC forces.

Don't think that those free NPCs that can't be defeated by anyone are useless. These large numbers of free NPCs are actually the main body of the game. They have their own worldview and values, and this worldview and values ​​are actually a direct reflection of the rules of the game, and because there are many more NPCs than players, as long as the NPCs act according to the rules. It is naturally difficult for players to fight against these rules, because as long as you fight against the rules, you will be like an anti-human anti-social element and be incompatible with the entire game group. This is actually the strongest way to maintain the rules, almost better than the upper gods. The supervision is even more powerful.

Based on the above information, it can be seen that except for the top ring of commandments, the rule system of "Zero" is controlled by a group of thoughtful NPCs. Although the strength, identity, and status of these NPCs will be different, they are indeed the managers and maintainers of the rules.

As the "invisible GM" in the game, these NPCs all have strong strengths, although some of their strengths are not so intuitive and cannot be seen by ordinary people. But the strength of some NPCs is very intuitive, such as the group of big monsters in the Demon Locking Forest.

Before these guys became GMs, their most intuitive identity was that they were part of the game world. They live in the game and grow up in the game. Even more dependent on the game than us players, because players can still go offline. There is still the real world to go to, but NPCs are nothing if they leave the game.

Because NPCs are part of the game world, they can be influenced by players. For example, free NPCs can be hired by players. Ordinary NPC organizations can form alliances with player guilds, gods can become enemies, patrons, or even allies of player guilds, and even high-ranking gods can become friends. It can be said that players can directly or indirectly influence these "invisible GMs", and in fact it is not difficult to do this. You only need to establish a relationship, maintain it, and let it deepen and strengthen.

Of course, it is actually quite difficult to establish a positive relationship with those powerful NPCs and hope that they will do something for you, because firstly, the game itself does not want this to happen, and secondly, these powerful NPCs They all have their own intelligence, and they also have their own identity and status just like people in real life. Just like national leaders will not help an ordinary person for no reason, it is impossible for those extremely powerful NPCs in the game to treat ordinary players seriously. Moreover, in reality, leaders will engage in face-saving projects for the sake of credibility and social image, but the NPCs in the game have no scruples about this at all. The Protoss in the genuine area are better. After all, they still count on you to provide the power of faith. As long as you don't commit suicide, they can still be polite to you. But for monsters or super NPCs who are wild BOSSs, then They don't care about the feelings of ordinary players at all. It's normal for them to attack you directly when they see you.

Precisely because these NPCs have their own personalities and status, in order to establish a positive relationship with them, you must at least have something that makes people pay enough attention to you. For example, if you are very strong, like me, many gods can't beat me at all, so don't show your teeth to me, just smile when you see me, because you are afraid that I will get upset and cause trouble for them, because they can't beat me at all. I. Of course, strength is not the only criterion. You can also have an identity. For example, really red.

Zhenhong's master is North Star Lord, and North Star Lord is one of the most famous gods in heaven, so the gods in heaven will give him face. As North Star Lord's apprentice, Zhenhong will naturally receive extra care from those gods. As long as Zhenhong is polite, it will be quite easy to establish a positive relationship.

Of course there is a third situation, such as gold coins. Because she is the holder of a national weapon, she has a special status and has an official title in heaven. Therefore, she is considered a colleague with those gods, so it is much easier to strike up a conversation than ordinary people.

In fact, besides the three situations of the three of us, there are many other situations. To put it bluntly, it is similar to the relationship in reality. As long as there is a way, a positive relationship can be established for many reasons.

Like Rose, her fighting power is not worthy of the attention of heaven, but in the eyes of the gods in heaven, her status is higher than that of true red and gold coins. It's not because people are afraid of her because of her strong fighting ability, or because she has any background, or because she has any relationship with the gods in heaven, but because she is the largest and only supplier of the power of faith in heaven.

Our Frost Rose Alliance has a power of faith supply agreement with Heaven, and we will deliver the power of faith to Heaven stably in the long term. And Heaven needs to give us many preferential policies and practical benefits. Of course, I signed the above agreement, but the problem is that it is Rose who is actually responsible for the delivery. After all, she is the financial manager of our Frost Rose Alliance. Any bulk or important supplies will not come out without her signature. Not going.

The Protoss' need for the power of faith is well known, and it is comparable to the thirst of drug addicts. Rose is always responsible for the daily supply and deployment of the power of faith. And it also has certain authority to make certain adjustments to this supply. Although Rose has no right to interrupt this supply chain according to the agreement, it cannot even make major changes, but there is still no big problem if it fluctuates by 20%. With the level of resistance of the Gods to the power of faith, let alone the 20% supply fluctuation. 2% can make them break their heads.

As someone who is directly in charge of this supply, do you think the relationship between roses and the gods in heaven can be bad? Every time those guys see Rose, they are simply fawning over Hong Guoguo! If Rose didn't need the power of faith, I guess the gods in heaven could even think of ways to give kickbacks.

so. There are many ways to build a positive relationship, it just depends on whether you can imagine it. certainly. Although there are many methods, the difficulty is definitely not small. Otherwise, if there are so many guilds in the world, why are there only a few guilds that have received the care of the Gods?

Of course the guys from the Rainbow Alliance also want to have a good relationship with the Gods. Then use these powerful "invisible GMs" to ruthlessly crush our Frost Rose Alliance. But... it's very difficult to do this.

Let’s not talk about the relationship between our Frost Rose Alliance and the major protoss. Even if we are just an ordinary guild, it is almost impossible to ask a regional protoss to help outsiders deal with player forces within their own sphere of influence, because this and The basic responsibilities of the gods conflict. You see, the European Temple of Light is now a protoss that relies entirely on our Frost Rose Alliance, but even so, they are rarely willing to help us deal with player forces in France. This shows that the protoss will hardly help foreign player forces deal with them. Domestic player power.

It doesn't matter, the gods are like this. We, the Frost Rose Alliance, have such a good relationship with Heaven. It is just a dream for the Rainbow Alliance to instigate Heaven to deal with us. And if we let the gods of other countries deal with us, even if this is achieved, it will not work. It has too much practical significance, because our Frost Rose Alliance is mainly a Chinese guild, and naturally we will not care about the suppression of foreign divine forces.

However, although we cannot rely on positive relationships to instigate our high-level NPCs in China to deal with our Frost Rose Alliance, the Rainbow Alliance has thought of another method. This method sounds very simple, that is, to release evil NPCs at the level of natural disasters, and those in the Demon Locking Forest basically fall into this category.

The strength of these monsters is ridiculously strong, and they have no regard for the strength and other relationships of our Frost Rose Alliance. The most important thing is that the Rainbow Alliance does not need to bother to establish any relationship at all. As long as these guys are released, with their destructiveness, they will naturally have a negative impact on our Frost Rose Alliance. Therefore, this is a simple and quick-acting method. , and the benefits may be very large. What's more important is that even if they fail, they won't have any losses. Anyway, their Rainbow Alliance just lit a fire. It doesn't matter whether they can burn it or not. But if the fire burns, they can just sit back and enjoy the success. . It would be a fool not to do this kind of good thing that is completely risk-free.

"If the purpose of the Rainbow Alliance is to cause chaos for us, then they will definitely choose the most difficult monster to release first." Jin Coin looked at me and asked: "Boss, please tell me you know the most difficult monster here. where."

"Unfortunately, I don't know!" After I finished speaking, I looked around and said, "But although I don't know which monster is the most difficult to deal with, I do know an insurance policy."

"Insurance?" Jin Coin obviously didn't understand what I meant.

I didn't have time to explain to them now, so I summoned Ye Ying, turned over, jumped up, and shouted to them both: "Follow me."

In the past, on the one hand, we needed to track based on scent, and on the other hand, we needed to be careful not to let people from the Rainbow Alliance discover our whereabouts, so the tracking speed was never fast, but now we are not tracking those from the Rainbow Alliance. Instead, go find that "insurance". Compared to before, our biggest advantage now is that we know the place, we don't have to call the way, and we don't have to pay careful attention to whether we will be discovered. Now we just need to run towards the target.

Seeing me running out first on Yeying, Jin Coin immediately summoned his own Sky Fox and jumped on. After her Sky Fox caught her, blue fox fire appeared under her feet and she started running after me. Zhenhong yelled anxiously from behind: "Hey, what should I do? My magic pet can't be used here. ah!"

The red Shenlong Demon Pet is too big and cannot be used in such a place. Although the Shenlong can be shrunk, everyone knows that the size of the dragon will become very distorted when carrying people. So Zhenhong didn't want to summon the dragon in a place like this, so she had no choice but to chase us out on foot. Fortunately, she was from the physical arts system and moved very fast. She could barely keep up with our speed.

The night shadow is like a puff of smoke in this monster-locking forest. The figure appears and disappears in a very elegant way, but in fact the speed is astonishingly fast. The nine-tailed sky fox with gold coins can only barely keep up with our shadow. As for the real red one, it is even worse. Run and die. The terrain of this place is relatively complex and there are too many obstacles. Even if he wanted to go faster, he couldn't move faster. In desperation, Zhenhong could only try his best to keep up with our pace, but the example was still getting bigger. Fortunately, I was not charging headlong. Instead, he was running at a tight speed, always maintaining a good distance and not letting Zhen Hong completely lose track of him.

After running for about ten minutes, I saw a cave on the hillside. At the entrance of the cave, there was an ordinary-looking long sword stuck on the ground. There is no difference in the sword at all, and there is even a similar golden tassel hanging on the hilt. However, don't underestimate this sword. This thing is a standard celestial weapon. It is said that it is a top treasure that is difficult to find in heaven.

Of course there is a reason why this thing can be inserted here and no one can take it, because there is a super difficult monster sealed in this cave, and this sword is inserted in the eye of the sealing array, as long as this sword is not Pull it out, and don't even think about getting out the thing inside even if you are exhausted. However, as soon as this thing is pulled out, the monster inside will immediately break through the seal and rush out.

"Is this the insurance you're talking about?" The gold coin landed next to me after I stopped, and then I looked at the sword and asked with interest.

I knew what Jin Coin was thinking, so I warned him in advance: "Don't think about that thing. This thing is the controller of the formation eye. As long as you dare to pull it out, the monster inside will immediately go berserk, so don't do it if you don't want to die." move."

"This thing looks like an artifact level! It shouldn't be a loss if you die for this kind of thing, right?" The gold coins were still a little unwilling to give up.

I shook my head and said, "Unless you plan to delete your account and practice again. The monsters here are different from ordinary monsters. They are said to be very special, so don't make mistakes."

"Huh, I said you are sincere... sincere, right?" Zhen Hong caught up with him out of breath, held Jin Coin's shoulders while panting and said: "Boss, you have so many magic pets... can't you give me one of them?" ?”

"It's not a few steps anyway." I replied and walked directly to the sword, then gently held the hilt and tried to lift it up. Jin Coin was so frightened when he saw my actions that he wanted to remind me, but I let go of the sword after just a try. In fact, I didn't even plan to pull it out. Once this thing comes out, we will definitely be the first to suffer, so I didn't even think about pulling out this sword. What I did just now was just to see how much force it would take to pull this thing out. Although I have heard of this thing, I have never been here, so I need to confirm it.

After determining the amount of force required to pull this thing out, I got to work. First, a lot of weapons with long handles were emptied out from the Fenglong space, and then Everett was summoned to act as a welder, and these long-handled knives and spears were welded together to create a simple tripod. Next, let’s talk about placing this tripod on top of this sword. After finishing this, I took out a pulley block. This thing was originally used by me to move items, but it is also suitable to put here.

Hang the pulley block on the tripod, then tie the traction rope to the fairy sword, and then pull the other end of the rope to a tall tree nearby. He found a suitable position and inserted a dagger into the tree trunk. Then, using the handle of the dagger as a pulley, hang the rope around the handle of the dagger. I took out two extra-large warhammers and tied them to the hanging rope, but I did not let go. Instead, I asked Everett to come over and help hold the two warhammers, and then I tied another one to the warhammers. A rope. After taking the rope to a higher branch and tying it, the warhammer was dropped in mid-air.

After hanging the war hammer, I wrapped a blasting talisman around the rope that hung the warhammer, and at the same time attached a citrine to the blasting talisman.

"Yeah. That'll do."

After I jumped down, I asked Everett to let go of the warhammer. Anyway, it was hanging on the rope, so it couldn't fall off. Jin Coin and Zhen Hong looked at the things I made in confusion and asked, "Boss, what are you doing?"

I explained while checking the structure of this simple device to make sure there were no problems. "The monsters here are the irrational type and will attack all creatures they see, including other monsters. So if those from the Rainbow Alliance release the strongest monster here, then we can release this monster. Because here The two of them are the strongest. Therefore, their breath will attract each other's attention, so as long as two monsters appear together, they will definitely fight first. They will not care about us until the winner is determined. However, if If the Rainbow Alliance doesn't release those monsters, I can't release this guy. Otherwise, I will be making myself miserable."

Zhenhong obviously didn't understand and said: "I probably understand what you mean, but what does this have to do with the thing you arranged?"

I asked in surprise: "Can't you understand this? I think this is already very simple!"

Gold Coin immediately said: "Yes, this is very simple. You see, those two big hammers are very heavy. But now they are hung by the rope, so they will not fall. But the boss put a sticker on the rope hanging the hammer With the detonating talisman and citrine, as long as the boss wants, he can remotely activate the detonating talisman, and then the explosion will blow up the rope. After the rope is broken, the hammer will fall. As the hammer falls down, it will pull Another rope moves, and the other end of the rope is connected to the fairy sword here. As long as the hammer over there falls, the gravity of the hammer will be converted into upward pulling force to pull the fairy sword out of the formation, and then the seal will be It fails, and then the monster inside comes out.”

After hearing this, Zhenhong suddenly realized: "So, it is indeed a good idea, but boss, why don't you summon a creature to pull out the sword directly instead of using such a complicated mechanism?"

"Want to know?" I looked at Zhenhong and asked.

Zhenhong nodded and said, "Of course I want to know, otherwise why would I ask you?"

I smiled and said, "You will know when you touch the hilt of the sword."

After hearing what I said, Zhenhong glanced at the fairy sword over there in confusion. After thinking about it for a while, it was wise not to go there. She is just reckless, not really stupid. Is there a trap in this thing?

Seeing that Zhenhong didn't really try it, I smiled and explained: "That thing has the coordinates of the All Souls Devouring Heart Curse and the Tribulation Thunder. Unless you know how to break the curse, you just need to hold the hilt of the sword and it will activate. With these two traps, your whole body will twitch in pain due to the Heart-Eating Curse of All Souls, and you will be unable to throw it away even if you want to. At the same time, the Tribulation Thunder will begin to use this sword as a coordinate to gather energy, and then it will be the same as the monster going through the Heavenly Tribulation. , the tribulation thunder will start to strike you one after another, and as long as you don't let go and have not been struck to pieces, the tribulation thunder will continue to strike you one after another, and it is different from ordinary heavenly tribulations. Overcoming the tribulation As long as the monster survives the number of sky thunders corresponding to its strength, it will be considered a pass. After that, the tribulation thunder will disappear. However, this tribulation thunder has no upper limit. It will continue to strengthen. Each sky thunder is twice as powerful as the previous one. Ten After the second time, there will be the first tribulation thunder with 1024 times the power, who do you think can stop it?"

"Damn it, boss, are you too cruel? Are you letting me touch you?"

I smiled and said, "You are protected by the divine dragon spirit. The Heart-Eating Curse won't have much power on you. You can let go at any time if you want. As for the Tribulation Thunder, it shouldn't be a big problem to withstand the seven or eight attacks ahead with your defense." That's right. I don't think you're so stupid that you won't let go even if you keep getting hit, right?"

"Then you are too dark!" Zhenhong complained as he climbed onto my Yeying, and then said: "As compensation, Yeying is temporarily mine, and I don't want to run away again!"

The gold coin said beside her: "Fortunately, I didn't touch it before." After saying that, she suddenly realized something. Then he looked at me and asked in surprise: "That's not right! Boss, didn't you touch me? Why are you okay?"

I smiled and said, "Didn't I say it before? It would be great if you knew how to break the curse."

"How do you know how to break the curse?"

"Business secrets." I said and walked up to Everett. Everett automatically displayed a large font and then the armor on the front of his body unfolded to reveal a space just big enough for one person. I took a step back just in time to enter Everett. Ritter's body, and then the armor on Everett's body was re-sealed, completely including me. This is one of Everett's special forms. It can be turned into a structure similar to power armor and worn outside my body. It can provide me with additional protection and many auxiliary functions. But I think the biggest advantage is Everett's ability to absorb fire. When attacked by an enemy, it can absorb fire damage and convert it into energy while recovering magic power and health. It will definitely defeat him when encountering fire-based enemies. "Okay, let's find the target again."

The insurance has been set up, and now we need to continue to look for traces of the Rainbow Alliance and the others. After all, the prerequisite for opening the insurance is that the Rainbow Alliance really releases the monsters, and it is a forced insurance. Of course, it is best not to activate it if it can be turned on. After all, even if the insurance and the released monster monsters fight to the death, it will not end well. Besides, if two super monsters fight, there is no telling how many other monsters will be released. After all, there are seals everywhere here. If some fucking monsters come out, will we still be alive? Therefore, this insurance is like a nuclear weapon. The best state is lying on the launcher. If it is really used, it will injure the enemy a thousand times and damage yourself eight hundred times.

In fact, the monsters here are not so easy to release. The reason why the seal outside the monster under the tree seemed so easy to break. That's because the monster itself is not a particularly difficult monster. Heaven doesn't care about such monsters at all, so the seal can only be manipulated casually. Even if it does escape, it can be easily recovered. No need to worry at all. The real dangers in the Demon Locking Forest are actually the super demon kings. The strength of these guys is very terrifying, and unlike the monsters I rescued from hell, the demon kings here cannot be dealt with by heaven. exist.

Since the demon kings I brought out from hell through an agreement with Heaven can be imprisoned in hell, it means that these demons have actually been subdued, otherwise it would be impossible to put them in hell to be tortured. On the contrary, the monsters here are really fatal, because the monster king here is a being that even heaven can't deal with. He can't even be killed, he can only be sealed.

Of course, heaven will not take these super dangerous existences lightly. Therefore, all such difficult monsters must have quite complicated seal protection, just like the "insurance" just now, although it seems that as long as the handle is pulled out, The sword can liberate that monster, but if you have the ability, would you really try to draw it out? The moment you touch that thing, you will be so happy. As for pulling it out... you can't do that kind of thing even if you have an iron will. The kind of heart-gnawing pain is not something that people can bear. Besides, even if you are not afraid of pain, the sky thunder is no joke. This thing can basically kill ordinary monsters in one or two blows. Even the last time those monsters and immortals pass through the tribulation before they become immortals is only six or seven. It's just a thunderbolt. With such a perverted defense, who dares to touch this sword?

Of course, this thing actually has a loophole, that is, you can use dead objects to pull out the fairy sword without being affected, but no one knows about this loophole, and the monsters won't know it anyway.

If the Rainbow Alliance wants to cause trouble for us, it needs to find the strongest monsters here, and the seals of the strongest monsters are very terrifying. Even if the people of the Rainbow Alliance want to break them, it will take a lot of effort. Absolutely not It can be done in a few clicks, so I'm not too worried about time.

After putting on Everite, I directly took off and moved forward quickly in the dense forest. The night shadow turned into smoke with its true red color and floated to my side in a few seconds. Compared with the speed, Yeying was still much stronger than Everett. . Of course, Gold Coin can only chase after her as hard as she can. Although her nine-tailed sky fox is not slow, it cannot turn into smoke to avoid obstacles like a night shadow. It cannot go fast through the dense forest. In comparison, although Everett is definitely not very fast, its flexibility is much better. After all, it is much smaller than the Kyuubi, so it is much easier to pass through the gaps between the trees.

However, although the Nine-tailed Fox is still not as fast as Everett, it is much easier for me to ride Yeying than before. At least Everett is not as fast as Yeying.

We first returned to the previous tracking route, and then continued to let Bailang follow the scent, but this time we were not as cautious as before. Because we have determined that the other party is not going to buy a boat, but to cause sabotage, in this case, concealment does not make much sense to us. On the contrary, it may be better to alert the other party in advance, so we are now completely letting go of our speed. run.

After all, Bailang is a beast-shaped monster, so his speed is naturally not slow, and the forest has no impact on his speed. We ran through the forest and soon saw the valley between the two peaks, and from here we could already see the big lake in the valley.

It is said that the strongest monster in the Monster Lock Forest is in that lake, but I don't know which one it is. Because the guys in Heaven just said it casually, and I didn’t ask in detail. After all, I didn’t know I needed to come here at the beginning! According to the information I heard at that time, the strongest monster was in the lake anyway. As for whether it was by the lake, inside the lake, or on the island in the middle of the lake. This is completely clueless. Anyway, it is definitely correct on this side of the lake.

Although there is no need to be too careful about concealment. But we were still careful when approaching the lake. After all, if we can make a surprise attack before the battle, we can definitely take advantage. At least using the opportunity of a sudden attack to kill the opponent's strongest combat power is definitely a good thing. Not a bad thing.

"Gold coins, tell your fox to stay hidden."

Jin Coin nodded and jumped off the nine-tailed fox. As soon as she came down, the nine-tailed fox immediately began to transform. When the gold coin fell to the ground, the nine-tailed fox also turned into a very beautiful beauty and landed on the ground with her. Basically, vixens are not ugly. This gold coin is still at the nine-tails level, and it is not an ordinary fox but a sky fox. Of course, after this transformation, it is even more beautiful, especially those eyes, which are simply Just like a nuclear power plant, a wink can make your whole soul fly away with it.

After the gold coins and the nine-tailed fox landed, I also released Everett's assimilation and let Everett return to the training space first. Zhenhong also consciously jumped off Yeying, but I climbed up again. Unlike other familiars, Yeying is actually the best at hiding because he can become invisible.

"Did you see the target?" Zhenhong asked softly.

The gold coin pointed to the edge of the lake in front. Zhenhong followed her finger and looked over, and sure enough she saw a large group of people doing something unknown on the edge of the lake, but they looked quite embarrassed.

Just when Zhenhong noticed the situation over there, I also discovered the situation over there. Although more than thirty people gathered at the other party, only a dozen were standing, and the rest were all lying on the grass by the lake, and several of them were obviously dead. After all, their bodies were not intact. The probability of still being alive is very low. Although the remaining people standing could still move, they all looked like drowned rats. Everyone was wet, and they had obviously just come out of the water. Obviously we have missed the first confrontation, and it seems that the Rainbow Alliance side is the losing side, because I did not see any monsters being released, only that nearly half of their personnel were killed.

"Boss, look over there." Zhenhong suddenly reminded me. I immediately looked in the direction of Zhenhong's prompt, and found that there was obviously a huge black shadow under the green lake water, slowly moving towards the lake. , and it is not difficult to judge based on the other party's course of action that this thing is aimed at the Rainbow Alliance group of people.

"Should we watch the fun first?" Jin Coin turned to me and asked.

I nodded without even hesitating: "Of course, if those monsters can help us deal with these guys, it will save us trouble."

Of course, Zhen Hong and Jin Coin agreed happily. Jin Coin even took out a bag of snacks and gave half of them to Zhen Hong, looking like he was ready to watch a show.

Ignoring the two onlookers, I carefully watched the movements by the lake while still planning how I would get involved if the underwater monster didn't succeed.

The underwater monster over there is obviously very good at sneak attacks. Although its movement speed underwater is not slow, there are no ripples or tracks on the water surface. The reason why we were able to find that thing was just because it was far away and we were standing relatively high, so we could see the shadow under the water. Because they were too close to the lake, the people from the Rainbow Alliance were affected by the refraction of the lake water and could not see the shadows under the water. However, even if they could see them, they probably wouldn't care, because their focus at this time is Those injured companions were completely unaware that there was a huge threat approaching them quickly.

"Do you think there will be a big fish down there?" Zhenhong asked suddenly.

Jin Coin said with a smile: "I don't think so. All that can appear in this place are the power projections of monsters. Heaven will not be stupid enough to seal aquatic monsters on the water's edge, so this is definitely not a water monster."

"Isn't it too abnormal for a monster in the water to be so good at underwater sneak attacks?" Zhenhong asked.

I interjected, "You'd be good at it if you lived near water for thousands of years."

The monsters here have been sealed away for thousands of years. I wouldn't be surprised if they learned how to knit, let alone how to dive. That’s thousands of years! It has taken such a long time for human beings to progress from just learning to smelt metal to being able to land on the moon. Isn't it trivial for the monsters here to take such a long time to learn to swim?

While we were chatting and spanking, the black shadow finally arrived at the shore, and then... (To be continued ~^~)
