Chapter 562

~7 min read 1,371 words

Regarding Cao An's return, the surprise in Su Yang's heart was definitely greater than the shock.

Let alone whether he is an enemy.

Based solely on his trust in him while in a foolish state, the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages.

As for Yan Luoshu...

It is highly probable that he has already been smashed into meat paste.

The six people walked forward along the muddy path; if they took a slightly heavier step, their shoes would sink into the soil.

The air was slightly cold, mixed with a few wisps of chill.

There was even a fragrance of grass.

The land after the natural disaster was exceptionally dilapidated; the group walked for a full two kilometers without seeing a single intact tree.

The once lush forest had now become a ruin.

The degree of chaos made it difficult to walk.

"Cao An, do you still remember which direction you came from?" Su Peixian said gently.

"My home is not here." The fool shook his head like a rattle.

"Then do you still remember where the high-rise buildings are?" Su Peixian continued to ask.

Cao An thought for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, his attention was suddenly attracted by an earthworm that crawled out from the side.

"Wow, so long!"

He reached out and touched the earthworm, and saw it shrink suddenly.

As if seeing an interesting toy, Cao An happily found a wooden stick to tease it.

Seeing this, Wang Daohui frowned and reached out to push him, "I'm asking you a question."

"Bug, don't touch me." Cao An said with some dissatisfaction.

"Forget it, let him be." The woman said helplessly.

"Pinning hope on a fool is a waste of time." Zhu Xiang said slowly.

"Do you have a better way?" Su Peixian turned her head.

"Split up and act; leave marks along the way if you find anything." Zhu Xiang proposed a strategy.

"I think this method is good; if we only rely on asking questions to find the way, it's not only difficult, but the answer we get might not necessarily be correct." Su Yang nodded.

At this time, Wang Daohui suddenly thought of something and blurted out: "What if the person who finds it is unwilling to share?"

As soon as these words were spoken, a look of displeasure appeared between Su Peixian's brows.

Saying such things at a time like this is somewhat of a mood killer.

But this was also a hidden worry in the hearts of everyone present.

If the player who finds the safe area is smarter, they will hide the secret directly in their stomach and enjoy it alone.

The others can't exactly use torture to extract a confession.

"I don't care anyway; if you want to look together, I'm happy to accompany you." Zhu Xiang said casually.

"How about this." Su Peixian thought of a feasible plan, "Two by two, supervise each other; this way we can ensure efficiency and avoid many problems."

Hearing this, Wang Daohui raised his hand immediately, "I'll be in a group with you."

As he said this, he immediately ran to Su Peixian's side, as if he didn't want to stay with Su Yang for even a second longer.

"Then I'll be in a group with Cao An." The woman said.

She neither liked the gloomy-faced Zhu Xiang, nor did she want to be with the evil-minded Su Yang.

Although Cao An is stupid, he is easy to control.

"Then shall we two go south?" Zhu Xiang pointed his finger.

"Fine." Su Yang agreed immediately.

Su Peixian reminded: "Eight hours later, regardless of whether you find it or not, you must return to the safe area."

"Good."

"No problem."

After speaking, each group began to act.

Su Yang and Zhu Xiang walked side by side; both looked straight ahead, silent.

Halfway there, Su Yang suddenly asked: "The safe area you mentioned should be fabricated, right?"

Zhu Xiang's footsteps paused, his mouth curled, "How did you know?"

"Although your every word and action appeared very proficient, even giving me a feeling that you had read the script in advance, a player who truly sees through the essence would not start from this aspect." Su Yang explained.

"Do you think I lied to you?" Zhu Xiang turned his head and licked his lips.

At this moment, he exposed his greedy intentions thoroughly.

Just like the day they first met when he wanted to eat Su Yang's eyeballs.

Naked, evil.

"Put away your ferocious face; you won't kill me, at least not at this stage." Su Yang said lightly.

"Really? How so?" Zhu Xiang turned around and pressed forward step by step.

Su Yang didn't retreat an inch and said calmly: "Because you dare not kill, and you can't kill me."

"Because of your talent that can freely copy other players?" Zhu Xiang stood in front of Su Yang, looking at him from an inch away.

"Not only that." Su Yang took a step forward, his mouth almost touching his nose, "Assuming you are a player who understands all the secrets of this game, then it would be very simple for you to win the game."

"Just by using a little means, you could make everyone fail the task."

"And if you are just posturing and bluffing, then you have even less way to kill me."

"Unless... you possess the talent to kill me directly without physical contact; otherwise... the chance is zero."

Zhu Xiang stared at Su Yang's eyes for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "You are more confident than most players I've seen; is this innate?"

"You flatter me; although I was confident in the past, it hadn't reached the extent you described."

Su Yang took a step back, leaving enough safe space, "After understanding human nature for a long time, it's hard not to get used to taking precautions."

"Haha..." Zhu Xiang pointed at Su Yang and shook his head, "Too interesting; it seems teaming up with you was indeed the right choice."

As he said this, his smile faded, he lowered his head slightly and said in a deep voice: "Indeed, the safe area was fabricated out of thin air by me, but the facts seem to echo my unintentional words."

"I won't kill you, and at the same time, I can help you kill."

"Kill who?"

"Of course it's Wang Daohui." Zhu Xiang picked up a broken branch from the ground and gestured with it: "As long as he doesn't die, you won't be happy."

"Since you already have grievances, and he might be my enemy, why not work together and kill him directly?"

"Why should I trust you?" Su Yang didn't agree immediately.

"Because we both have a common goal; you want Wang Daohui's life, and I want Su Peixian!" Zhu Xiang said.

Su Yang looked at his eyes quietly, and after a moment, he reached out his hand, "Happy cooperation."

"Rest assured, afterwards you will definitely feel that cooperating with me was the most correct choice." Zhu Xiang reached out to shake his hand.

The two reached an agreement, and after discussing the plan, they turned and took a detour to head east.

Just by speeding up, they could intercept the two on the established route in advance.

As an 'Ascend God' seed, Su Peixian's strength is a mystery, but Zhu Xiang has the confidence to handle her.

And Su Yang could deal with Wang Daohui wholeheartedly.

He doesn't covet the so-called safe area; he only wants to kill this guy.

Killing one more of the enemy's dependents increases the winning rate of the 'betting game' by one point.

Besides, Su Yang can confirm that Wang Daohui is not his teammate, and might even be a person from the enemy camp.

With all these combined, how could there be any possibility of not taking action?

At the same time, in a basin on the east side of the forest.

Wang Daohui and Su Peixian came to an area surrounded by mountains on three sides; the air here was more humid, and looking up, one could even see layers of white fog.

"Miss Su, what do you think of Su Yang as a person?" Wang Daohui asked.
