1085 Dupe
The surrounding water was quickly receding and he could clearly feel the impact of the water gradually decreasing. The speed of the lifeboat was also decreasing.
He believed that the alchemy lifeform would soon catch up with them again.
However, there was nothing he could do. This seemed to be the best situation.
At least for now, they could catch their breath, quickly recover their strength and think of countermeasures.
Wei Tao asked, “Mingyue, do you have any scrolls left?”
“No, I’ve used them all.”
Everyone lowered their heads and pondered again, wondering what method they could use to escape from this place.
Fang Heng and Tang Mingyue continued to communicate with their eyes.
“Ah? Are the scrolls really gone?”
“Really, I have none already. I didn’t lie to him.”
“You’re not holding back? This isn’t like you.”
“Ah, damn it. The situation was too urgent just now. Furthermore, you were urging me to use them again. I didn’t think that much.”
“Alright… We’ll think of another way when we get out.”
After thinking hard for a long time with his head lowered, Mikhael still couldn’t think of a solution. Just as he raised his head, he caught the scene of Fang Heng and Tang Mingyue casting amorous glances at each other.
“Why are you guys always looking at each other? Are you hiding something from us?”
“You’re wrong!”
“I didn’t.”
Fang Heng and Tang Mingyue stopped talking at the same time. They turned to look at Mikhael and said in unison.
Mikhael’s brows furrowed tightly. He felt that something was off.
Just as everyone was thinking about a solution, a line of game notifications suddenly appeared on everyone’s retina.
[Hint: The player team and feudal lord Ainette have reached an agreement to build a mage tower. The player has triggered a side mission-the Empire’s line of defense-the ghost tower.]
Side mission: The Empire’s line of defense-the ghost tower.
Side mission description: The player team and the feudal lord of the Empire, Ainette, have agreed to build a ghost tower in his territory. Lord Ainette will provide support for the construction work.]
Mission reward: Slight increase in the trial score, additional trial time, Empire merit points, and so on.
Failure penalty: Penalty on the player’s trial score, the player’s friendship with the Empire will be reduced, and the player’s reputation with the Empire will be greatly reduced.
What was going on?
After seeing the game hints, the players who were running for their lives turned their eyes to Fang Heng at the same time.
Fang Heng was also stunned. He opened his mouth and subconsciously turned his head to look at Tang Mingyue.
Tang Mingyue also looked at Fang Heng.
Everyone’s eyes were filled with question marks.
What was going on?
What did you do this time?
Soon, Fang Heng thought of Sandy.
He must be the one behind this!
What was that Sandy doing outside?
If he was asked to dupe the players into building the ghost tower, how did he end up duping the feudal lord as well?
Wasn’t this just messing around?
Wei Tao also noticed Fang Heng and Tang Mingyue looking at each other.
The strange feeling was getting more and more obvious.
The two of them seemed to be quite close recently, and they were in action together just now. The arrangement of the emergency inflatable lifeboat was also planned by the two of them.
Wei Tao started to feel a headache.
He had thought that Tang Mingyue was the only unstable factor in the team and Fang Heng was the only one who was good at causing trouble.
From the looks of it, the two of them had joined forces?
“You’re really not hiding anything from us?” Wei Tao asked with a deep voice.
“How could that be?”
“That’s impossible.”
Tang Mingyue and Fang Heng said in unison.
[Hint: The player team and the feudal lord Bronita have reached an agreement to build a mage tower. After joining the multi-party agreement, the player’s side mission-the Empire’s linen of defense-change of the ghost tower (click here for more details).]
[Hint: The player team and feudal lord Bauman have reached an agreement to build a mage tower…]
[Hint: …]
[Hint: …]
A series of game notifications appeared on his retina.
Wei Tao looked at Fang Heng and Tang Mingyue and took a deep breath.
It wouldn’t be, right?
Fine, if they were not in cahoots, surely they had to explain to him what was going on with these game hints about all these collaborations to build the ghost tower.
Wei Tao’s pain in the balls was becoming more and more obvious.
Fang Heng and Tang Mingyue looked at each other again.
Why were there more and more game hints about building a mage tower together?
He let Sandy dupe the players, how did he end up duping the feudal lords?
Fang Heng looked through the game notifications in his mind and revealed a strange expression.
In just a few words, Sandy had reached an agreement with the six feudal lords to build a mage tower.
He had to admit that Sandy’s business capabilities were really…
High!
Sandy was really a talent, no wonder he was chosen by the God of Art.
“Ahem.”
Fang Heng coughed lightly and tried to push the blame away.
“You know, an NPC in my team always does unexpected things. It’s hard for me to control him, but don’t worry, I’ve checked. The game’s penalty isn’t that big, and the construction of the mage tower takes a long time.”
“Yes, yes, yes,” Tang Mingyue had initially thought that something had gone wrong with Sandy’s plan, so she tried to smooth things over. “The mission doesn’t have a time limit. Even if we fail, we’ll be out of the trial by then. It’s okay.”
“Alright, this is the crucial moment of the trial. Don’t do anything, brothers.”
Wei Tao’s tone carried a hint of pleading. As he spoke, he rubbed his slightly swollen temples.
Now that the team was facing a crisis, and these two time bombs in the team were showing signs of exploding, he was really tired.
“Yes, yes, yes.”
Wei Tao took in a deep breath.
There was no time to get to the bottom of this.
After all, what Fang Heng said was right. This side mission was wonderful, but it didn’t seem to affect the main storyline mission that much. There was no punishment either, so it could be put aside for the time being.
Wei Tao pulled everyone’s attention back and said, “The water current won’t last for long. Does anyone have any other ideas?”
“Under normal circumstances, you’ll need to find the core to deal with such alchemy creatures. You’ll be able to completely destroy them by destroying their core.”
In order to quickly change the topic, Tang Mingyue also began to analyze seriously. She said, “I’ve been observing all the way just now, but I haven’t found the core position of the alchemy body. Maybe the core is hidden inside the body.”
“This is going to be very difficult. We have to first break through its external defenses.”
Mo Jiawei took a glance at Wei Tao and expressed his sympathy for him. He sighed and said, “It’s very difficult to defeat the alchemy body head-on, but the game doesn’t specify that we must defeat it. Why don’t we think about how to trap it? ”
Tang Mingyue nodded and added, “Or we can run away.”
Fang Heng looked at the end of the pitch-black passage in front of him and said, “Let’s stall for time. There’s less than half an hour left before the cooldown time for my summoning is up.”
Everyone immediately thought of Fang Heng’s special ability to summon zombies.
“Can we get rid of him through summoning?” Wei Tao looked at Fang Heng and asked.
“Well, I don’t think it’ll be a big problem.”
Fang Heng nodded.
After the pursuit and entanglement earlier, he realized that the giant alchemy lifeform only had two very simple attack modes.
The first type relied on its alloy metal body to perform physical attacks such as crashing, sweeping and stomping. The second type was earth spike-type spells.
