Ambush!
378 -250: Encounter!
Ambush!
Fierce winds battered this world, gray dust swirling as various Fierce Beasts ran amok, desperately attacking, and from time to time peculiar ancient buildings could be seen, carrying a somewhat strange aura, along with the mottled traces of age.
Su Qi surveyed all this.
Five people were swiftly making their way through, and after about twenty minutes, the erosion of the Black Rain suddenly halted.
“It stopped…”
Butterfly turned her head back.
“Our Spiritual Energy is constantly being depleted; our speed has increased quite a bit.”
Giant Axe said somberly, “Everyone, be careful.
The area in which we can move has shrunk considerably, and the likelihood of encountering enemies has greatly increased.”
Fortunately, they had not seen any signs of battle along their way.
If the enemy had foreknowledge and had set traps or launched a surprise attack while they were charging forward, they might not be able to defend themselves.
This underscored the importance of information.
“Adjust your status.”
Bai Yilin said softly, “Pay attention to your surroundings.”
They did not want to delve into the origins of the Black Rain or why it stopped here.
After all, the three were not newcomers to this dueling ground; all they had to do was to defeat their opponents in duels.
“According to my thoughts, now…
we should continue to move towards the center. freeweɓnovel.cøm
Judging from the extent of this Black Rain’s coverage, we can almost determine where the center is.
We can get there ahead of time and set up an ambush,” Butterfly spoke quickly, her mind meticulous and her logic detailed, her eyes looking towards Bai Yilin, “Brother Bai, what do you think?”
Bai Yilin did not speak but turned his gaze to Rhythm and Su Qi: “What do you think?”
“We…” Rhythm was somewhat flattered.
They were a player new to Paradise, with the least strength here and lacking in experience, yet the others actually considered their opinions.
He thought hard about it: “I have a question.
If we can see where the central area is, then the enemy team can naturally see it too.
They might arrive there before us and set up an ambush.
Wouldn’t we be walking right into a trap?”
Butterfly frowned slightly, “I did consider this point, but I think it’s worth taking a gamble.”
“The risk is too great,” Rhythm shook his head, paused, and looked at Bai Yilin pleasantly, “Brother Bai, what do you say?”
Calling a big shot ‘Brother’ and the rest are just ‘bros.’
Such is the way of human sentiments.
However, Bai Yilin merely shifted his gaze slightly, looking at Su Qi, “Player Su Ke, do you have any opinions?”
Su Qi hesitated for a moment.
Actually, from the very beginning, he had noticed something.
Bai Yilin’s gaze rested on him more frequently than on the others, his eyes seemingly pondering something, and the question mark above his head had only revealed a few words.
[He has a strong curiosity and doubt about you]
Curiosity?
Doubt?
Su Qi had entered the dueling ground with the hidden face feature of Paradise, but in fact, this feature was only usable when disengaged from combat.
That is to say, once Spiritual Energy burst forth for combat, his handsome face would be exposed.
But the problem was.
He hadn’t shown any flaws from the very start.
What was this guy curious and doubtful about?
“I…”
Su Qi said softly, “I don’t think either of your plans will work.”
“You have a better way?” Butterfly raised an eyebrow slightly.
“Of course.”
Su Qi pulled over Red Clothes Strange, who had been following along in the background, inconspicuously up until now: “For such matters, of course, you should ask the locals.”
…
Red Clothes Strange slowly lifted that terrifying, indistinct face of flesh and blood; she was thoroughly strange, yet she didn’t have the same murderous aura as other strange beings, and it seemed she also had a response to Su Qi’s request.
She extended her hand and gently pointed in a distant direction.
A low, hoarse voice emanated from her throat as the red robe whirled in the wind.
“The direction she’s pointing is exactly the central area we’re heading to.
What did she say?” Giant Axe’s eyes locked onto Red Clothes Strange, sensing that her emotions seemed to be filled with fear.
“She said…” Butterfly also looked over, “We absolutely must not go there.”
“That is a dreadful place.”
The fear on her face was very pronounced, as if the existence there should not be mentioned.
Everyone’s expressions darkened.
“Yet…
given the current trend, we will inevitably get closer to that place.”
Su Qi spoke lightly, “A dreadful place, huh…”
“Everything here is filled with strangeness and ancient relics, demons and ghosts are all amongst them; demons are the various Fierce Beasts, and strange are these peculiar beings.”
“Runes that suppress and contain evil, ravaged by demons, all kinds of Taoist and Buddhist temples, the surrounding buildings contain many traces left behind by the Righteous Sect.
Yet now only evil presences…
exist in this place.”
Fierce Beasts tasted good precisely because they could cultivate, absorbing surrounding spiritual energy, possessing strong aggressive desires and Spiritual Wisdom.
Along the way, they also resorted to interspecies killing, a form of natural selection.
The peculiar ones were even more evident; few in number, but their consciousness was clearly sharper, and they also possessed the principle of devouring others to strengthen themselves.
“The so-called dreadful place…
for them to use this word is somewhat intriguing.”
Su Qi’s words made everyone’s expression change subtly.
Rhythm seemed a bit curious, looking at Su Qi and murmuring to himself:
“Have there been so much information along this road…”
He couldn’t remember any of it.
Bai Yilin seemed to have something in mind, as if he knew something, but he did not speak it out loud.
Su Qi’s expression shifted slightly.
The dueling ground seemed to have some special aspects…
especially Bai Yilin’s profound eyes and the hints from the question mark above his head.
