[No, I’m confused. What’s going on exactly?]
[Please don’t tell me that Ning Changfeng and Shi Tianzhu are teaming up against the Yongming Guild.]
[I can only think of this possibility. After all, the Yongming Guild in this instance is very formidable.]
[But why do I feel like, compared to Yinhua and Yongming, there’s more animosity between Shi Tianzhu and Ning Changfeng?]
[It’s indeed Ning Changfeng and Shi Tianzhu teaming up against the Yongming Guild. Just now Ning Changfeng had a fight with the president of the Yongming Guild!]
Ning Su glanced at the barrage, then looked at the two figures on the screen, happily sending out a barrage.
[Shi Tianzhu and Ning Changfeng, let’s fight together!]
Ling Xiao caught sight of Ning Su’s slightly narrowed eyes and asked him, “Are you happy?”
Ning Su reached down and ruffled the tuft of hair on Gui Sheng’s head, nodding, “Hmm.”
He then looked at the two figures standing side by side on the screen again. “It’s really rare.”
Just now, hearing Ling Xiao’s analysis of long-range attackers, he felt that Shi Tianzhu might have experienced being attacked by groups too many times.
She was the president of the Yinhua Guild, the most experienced senior player, with a cold and distant personality, always standing in front of Yinhua, acting as a shield for others.
Just now, someone came out to protect her when she was surrounded and attacked alone.
He didn’t know what Shi Tianzhu was feeling, but he felt somewhat happy inside.
Ling Xiao’s gaze also fell on the two people, and he said, “Very fitting.”
Ning Su asked, “Where is it fitting?”
Ling Xiao replied, “It’s like two very lonely people standing together.”
Ning Su was slightly stunned.
One of them was a lone ranger who had fought alone since childhood, the Lone Ranger who consistently ranked first in the game base.
The other was the first to enter the horror game, walking for over a decade, the first president of the prestigious guild, surrounded by many admirers.
They seemed like completely different people, but when Ling Xiao said that, Ning Su truly felt it—these were two lonely individuals standing together.
He pursed his lips and moved a bit closer to Ling Xiao.
In the instance, Ning Changfeng relaxed the tension on his face and raised his eyebrows, asking, “Did you see my graceful demeanor just now when I drove away the Black-Clothed Azan?”
It was unclear whom he was asking, a bit bewildering, like a peacock displaying its feathers without an audience.
Everyone thought he was talking to Shi Tianzhu beside him, which made it even more strange since Shi Tianzhu obviously couldn’t have watched it.
Ning Su: “...”
Just now, he was so focused on watching Shi Tianzhu that he didn’t see Ning Changfeng’s graceful action of driving away the Black-clothed Azan.
Shi Tianzhu: “Let go.”
Ning Changfeng’s snake tail was still entwined around Shi Tianzhu’s waist. Shi Tianzhu’s loose gray-green shirt was tightened into a slim section by the silver snake tail.
But it was only for less than a minute.
She coldly ordered him to let go.
Ning Changfeng wasn’t very happy in his heart. “President Shi, I injured the Black-clothed Azan, and just now I lent a hand to save you. Shouldn’t you treat me better?”
Shi Tianzhu: “If you don’t let go soon, you’ll ruin my plans.”
Before the human pupa master could question what Ning Changfeng meant, Gu Witch shouted, “Run!”
But it was already too late.
From afar, in the dense fog, the Vampire, whose body had been corroded by corpse gu and who had been struck away by a serpent tail, lay gasping for breath on the ground. With his last breath, he whispered a single word.
“Poison.”
This thick, low-visibility gray fog was extremely conducive for Gu Witch’s manipulation. He had countless gu insects to scout and lure people, and it was also very suitable for the extremely fast Vampire to operate, as well as for Jia Chensheng, whose skills were focused on wind.
However, there was another type of person who was very suitable for this instance.
Someone who used poison.
Especially those who released poisonous gas.
The thick gray mist and the faint sound of wind were simply the perfect medium for poison, a paradise for poisoners.
The Vampire closed his eyes.
Players who chose to view from his perspective saw their screens go black.
He quit the game.
He didn’t manage to pass this message to the other two, but they had already realized it.
The dizziness in their minds and the weakness in their bodies had clearly told them that they were poisoned.
Realizing they were poisoned, they immediately realized they had fallen into a trap.
The Gu Witch was the first to realize this. He instructed his gu insects to run, but it was already too late.
A massive iron net descended from the sky, completely enveloping them, including the human pupa master and the vast majority of the gu insects.
Under normal circumstances, both of them could have escaped, but they were poisoned.
The iron net was both sturdy like steel and flexible like a net. As the individuals beneath it attacked, the black, flexible iron mesh undulated like black waves.
A man and a woman jumped out from the thick fog, respectfully looking at Shi Tianzhu. “President.”
Shi Tianzhu broke free from the serpent’s tail and landed on the ground. “Ignite.”
The male player in white clothes kicked up a cloud of gray dust around them, and fine particles floated down.
The female player wearing leather gloves took the blue fire stick from Shi Tianzhu’s hand and waved it into the particles. Instantly, a raging flame ignited, burning the gu insects gathered around the iron net and raising the temperature of the net.
The situation completely reversed.
There were many question marks in the barrage, with many players not understanding how the situation had reversed.
Su Wangsheng also didn’t understand. He asked in confusion, “What’s going on? Why don’t I understand?”
Ning Su said, “It’s because of that smell.”
Zhu Shuangshuang said, “Are you saying that Shi Tianzhu’s teammate sent her a signal, and she followed the scent to find her teammate?”
Ning Su nodded. “You were worried just now that if the scent emitted by that person was too obvious, it would expose them to the enemy, and both she and his teammate would be in danger.”
Zhu Shuangshuang said, “Yes, that’s what I was thinking. Isn’t it correct?”
Ning Su said, “Yes, but what if that signal scent was poison gas?”
Zhu Shuangshuang was stunned.
Su Wangsheng and Ji Mingrui were also stunned.
After a long time, Su Wangsheng suddenly realized what was happening here, “Brilliant!”
“If others can’t detect it, this would be their rendezvous signal.”
“If someone discovers it and wants to take advantage by killing them, following this scent closer and closer, the poisoning will deepen, leading straight to their demise.”
Even the CEO, Ji Mingrui, couldn’t help but admire, “As long as it’s designed properly, it can completely take out opponents with ill intentions in one fell swoop.”
He looked at the well-coordinated group and then turned to Shitian Shu, who remained calm and composed throughout, saying, “Now I understand why Yinhua’s top players, who have fewer members than Yongming, can still compete with them and even surpass them.”
Thanks for the update 🤩🤩🤩
