Chapter 68: Xu Wei’s Shock (1)
Chapter 68: Xu Wei’s Shock (1)
Hearing the commotion outside, everyone immediately became vigilant.
However, before they could find a place to hide, a group of people barged in.
The leader was the fourth rank leader of Team Hancang, Xu Wei, who had an afro.
Seeing that it was him, everyone could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
Zhang Zhenyu put away the attack in his hand and said unhappily,
“Didn’t you shout before you came in? What if we accidentally injure them?”
Xu Wei could not help but roll his eyes at him.
“You still have the cheek to talk about me? Why didn’t you shout?”
“I didn’t react in time when I suddenly heard it.”
“Then we came in because we were anxious to save him.”
“You’ll definitely suffer if you act so rashly. This place is different from the outside world.
We were almost wiped out here just now.”
When Xu Wei heard this, he could not help but feel very surprised.
“I remember that you guys aren’t in charge of this area. Could it be that you guys were the ones who set off the fireworks just now?”
“How is that possible?”
At that moment, Zhang Zhenyu roughly told him what had happened here.
After hearing this, Xu Wei and the others were all extremely shocked.
Apart from being shocked, they also doubted the authenticity of the matter.
After all, whether it was the monster or the Zhenwu Squad controlled by the Puppet Master, it sounded like a fantasy.
Especially in such a dangerous situation, these four people were actually still fine.
Not only did everyone survive, but none of them even lost an arm or a leg.
One had to know that the strongest among them was only at tier 3, and there was even a tier 2 who was a hindrance.
With such a simple lineup, how could they contend against such a powerful opponent?
With a trace of doubt, Xu Wei and the others all ran to the battlefield in the backyard to check on the situation.
This was not just to test the authenticity of Zhang Zhenyu’s statement.
At the same time, it was also to confirm the life and death situation of another team.
After 15 minutes, Xu Wei and the others all returned from the backyard.
Different from before, all of them had a look of shock on their faces.
Battles sounded like nothing. They could only imagine who would send who flying and who would kill who.
Only after seeing the chaotic scene and the broken corpses with their own eyes could they truly understand how tragic the battle was.
Xu Wei and the others knew that if it were them, they might not be able to escape alive either.
With this, everyone’s view of Zhang Zhenyu and the others suddenly became different.
Unknowingly, each of them seemed to have a halo around them.
However, Xu Wei still snorted disdainfully at the high-spirited Zhang Zhenyu.
“We’ve been friends for so many years. How can I not know your strength?
With the situation at the scene, not to mention the monster that you described, it was so powerful that it exploded.
Even the Zhenwu Squad’s captain, Wu Rui, you’re definitely not a match for him.
How could you have successfully escaped with your subordinates?”
“I didn’t say that it was my credit.”
Zhang Zhenyu spread his hands and looked innocent.
Xu Wei immediately choked.
“If it wasn’t you, who else could it be?”
“Of course, it’s the new sword saint that our team rarely sees in a hundred years!”
“Him?”
Xu Wei looked at Su Mo in surprise.
Not to mention him, even the three members behind him were rather skeptical of this statement.
Even though sword saint were publicly recognized as one of the two strongest profession among mixed cultivators, no matter how strong they were, Su Mo was only at Stage 2.
It was already quite impressive to be able to kill a Tier 3 player.
No matter how one thought about it, it was impossible for him to be an opponent of an entire realm and a Tier 4.
Seeing that Zhang Zhenyu was getting more and more boastful, Su Mo quickly stopped and helped explain the situation.
After learning that Su Mo was using his strength to fight back and forth between two Stage 4 players, Xu Wei could not help but be shocked.
“Good kid, you actually dare to interfere in a dangerous battle of the fourth step. Even I have to say that I admire you!”
“Why do you think such a talented person like you ended up in Team Furong?!”
“What kind of luck did Zhang Zhenyu have to recruit you?!”
Xu Wei slapped his thigh, his face full of annoyance and jealousy.
Zhang Zhenyu grinned, his face full of pride.
Xue Qiaoqiao looked at the situation and puffed out her chest, feeling an inexplicable sense of pride.
Chu Qingwu glanced at Su Mo and sighed in her heart.
Thinking back to the first time she met him, she felt that it might not be appropriate to pull such an ordinary person into the Transcendent World.
Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, he would actually grow to such a level?
Not only had he become a Tier 2 sword saint, but he might have also awakened other Extraordinary profession.
It had only been a few days since he had taken up his job.
Was this the legendary genius?
In a trance, she seemed to recall her brother, who was once also known as the Prodigy sword saint.
If he was still alive, he would definitely be shocked by Su Mo’s improvement speed, right?
At this time, Xu Wei also stopped chatting and said to everyone seriously,
“You guys have been fighting here all this time, so you might not be too clear about the situation outside.
In fact, we saw three golden fireworks that called for help.”
“What?”
Hearing this, Su Mo and the others ‘expressions changed.
Three?
How could there be three?
Xu Wei nodded with a solemn expression and said,
“The fireworks started from the southwest. We rushed over as fast as we could.
The Transcendent team over there had accidentally fallen into a trap and was besieged by a large number of crocodile demons.
Fortunately, they managed to escape to the island in the middle of the lake in time and successfully held on until we arrived.
After rescuing them and understanding the general situation, they saw the fireworks on the mountainside.
Just as we were about to reach here, a new golden firework exploded in the southeast direction.”
Chu Qingwu pondered,
“In that case, it should be because of the distance and location that we didn’t see the first fireworks.
However, according to what we learned from Wu Rui, the fireworks were clearly released by him.
It was to lure the other Transcendent squads over and trap them.
Could it be that the other two fireworks were also released for this reason?”
Xu Wei shook his head and said,
“I haven’t been to the third firework site, so I don’t know much about it.
However, one thing was for sure: the team of Transcendents who had been hit by the first firework.
It was indeed because of a man-made trap that he was chased by the Crocodile Demon.
However, there were no puppets being controlled at the scene. The fireworks were released by them.”
“Then can we understand it this way?”
Su Mo continued,”
“The Puppet Masters entered this place a long time ago and made use of the environment to set up quite a number of traps.
It was all for the sake of harming the Transcendent squad that would catch up to them sooner or later.
But at the same time, the number of puppets he had prepared was not as many as he had imagined.
This also led to some places where he could not send people to guard the vicinity of the trap. He could only cast a net and try his luck.”
“Not bad!”
Xu Wei nodded and said,
” The problem is that we don’t know whether the team that set off the fireworks in the third place is really in trouble or whether the Puppet Masters are setting up traps on purpose.
Originally, we planned to rush over immediately after solving the problem here.
Now, it seems that the problem here has been solved. There’s no need for our help.
Then, let’s go our separate ways.”
“Let’s go together.”
Zhang Zhenyu looked at his teammates and said.
“But your current state…”
Xu Wei hesitated.
Su Mo smiled and said,”
“Captain Zhang is right. It’s always good to have more strength.”
Chu Qingwu and Xue Qiaoqiao nodded.
Seeing that they had all made up their minds, Xu Wei no longer hesitated.
“Then let’s not delay any longer. We’ll set off immediately!”
