Chapter 589: Cloud Sea, Rainbow! Your Mouth... Isn't Simple at All!

So that's how it is!

Dong Qianqing finally understood.

"It makes sense, everything makes sense!" she murmured to herself.

Beneath all the absurd facts, a player's malice is actually hidden.

Zhu Xiang has great limitations, but that doesn't hinder his desire to set traps.

Rules are dead, people are alive.

Perhaps from the moment he first saw Su Yang and uttered his first words, he had already begun to exploit this Ascend God Seed.

One link follows another, layers piled upon layers.

He didn't act, yet an invisible massive hand enveloped all players present.

Every move was within the plan's scope.

However, the only time he got the short end of the stick may have been when his proud and overconfident leverage plan failed.

Su Yang and Cao An returned smoothly, directly disrupting his rhythm.

Consequently, Zhu Xiang resorted to this low blow, betraying Su Peixian, attempting to salvage the situation for greater gain!

"How did you come up with these?" Dong Qianqing turned her head to look at Su Yang's profile, the surprise in her eyes no less than witnessing the horror of Acid rain.

"Role switching, perspective taking," Su Yang said bluntly.

This is his usual way of playing games.

If he possessed the ability to know the initiative, he would be harsher and more direct than Zhu Xiang.

He only needs to slightly stir the players' long‑standing tense Nerve and habitual suspicion, attacking from the enemy camp, naturally making it easier to sow discord.

He isolates Cao An from everyone, then Sacrifices the corpse to activate the Statue, forcing a Heavenly Disaster to arrive early.

Thus, no one can survive the Heavenly Disaster.

His biggest mistake is breaking away from the crowd, arrogantly hiding in the Dark Place as if mysterious.

The best way to prevent a disaster is to immerse oneself in the crowd; knowing oneself and the enemy leads to victory every time.

"He even wants to kill me..." Dong Qianqing's eyes were complex, lightly biting her lower lip.

"In our eyes, you're his partner, but in his eyes, you're at best just a player added to meet the game's headcount," Su Yang said.

These words are somewhat blunt and even excessive, but the logic is sound.

With Dong Qianqing's Innate Talent "Stop War," it might have remarkable effects in other games.

For example, Domination, treasure hunting, and so on.

But placed in Survival, it appears especially useless.

Its strength is similar to Qin Weiyang's Light Feather.

After all, Heavenly Disaster is blind; it will not feel pity for your frailty and Resistance.

Moreover, she is already pregnant, making movement difficult; many times she is no different from a burden.

"What will you do after finding Cao An?" Dong Qianqing suddenly understood many things.

Originally she feared Su Yang confronting Zhu Xiang would cause her safety coefficient to drop by half, but now that thought is gone entirely.

As Su Yang said, her gaming mindset indeed should have changed.

Stubbornly digging into the Safe Zone's dead‑end only gives Zhu Xiang an opening.

"Wait!" Su Yang said.

"Wait for what?"

"Wait for him to awaken."

"Hm?" Dong Qianqing was startled.

Su Yang smiled faintly, "Do you really think a completely Foolish person could reach this point unharmed? It's merely his misdirection."

"Then let's go, we must speed up!" Dong Qianqing said, anxious as fire.

Right now it's a life‑or‑death sprint; a minute slower could plunge us into endless ruin.

The only thing to pray for is that Zhu Xiang finds the corpse a few minutes later.

Su Yang stood on a height, gazing at the distant mountain stream, a flash of brilliance flashing in his eyes.

"The animals have been wiped out..."

All over the ground, animal carcasses lay silently; some half‑buried in rock walls, some fully submerged in the river.

It's clear that animals that survived Typhoon and hail ultimately could not escape the assault of Acid rain.

Not only livestock, even fields and rivers were polluted by Acid rain.

Let alone the Safe Zone's upgrade and renovation, even though the Small Wooden Cabin remains intact, players now find it extremely hard to complete the Task.

"What a pity, if we don't dig for the Hidden Achievement, he should have been slaughtered at dawn," Su Yang mused.

With Su Peixian dead, he is essentially in a constant Deception state.

Even if he himself has Immunity, Su Yang is confident he can kill him.

Thinking of this, Su Yang looked back and saw Dong Qianqing hiding behind a cover, relieving herself.

"Su Peixian's corpse and Cao An appear immediately five hundred meters to my Southern Direction," Su Yang whispered.

"Deception activated successfully, the person and things you want have appeared!"

As soon as the words fell, Su Yang's gaze was immediately drawn to a distant Silhouette…

"Here it comes!"

He not only intends to block Zhu Xiang's plan, but also to cut off all his Retreat.

When Dong Qianqing finished and came out, Su Yang said directly, "Follow me, I've already seen Cao An."

"That fast, where?" Dong Qianqing was slightly startled.

Eastward!

Speaking, Su Yang directly climbed down the cliff face, moving as cleanly and swiftly as a rock goat, and landed smoothly from a height of thirty meters.

Dong Qianqing moved a bit slower, but she was not sluggish; while being careful, she searched for the safest landing spot.

"Are you sure it's Cao An?" Dong Qianqing asked.

"Some have questioned my conjecture, but no one has ever doubted my eyes," Su Yang said.

After a short while, the two arrived at a clearing and saw Cao An, who now had only one hand, riding atop a grotesquely decayed corpse, placing a Stone into a hollow pit.

Hearing the noise, he turned, looked back, and exclaimed with great delight, "Su Yang!"

He then repeated his old trick, plunging headfirst into Su Yang's arms, knocking him back several steps like a human-shaped Cannonball.

"I just flew up again, and I was flying very fast," Cao An gestured wildly.

Su Yang, noticing his tendency to slip, changed the subject, "Is that so? Do you remember from which place you started flying?"

"Above a sea of clouds, a very beautiful sea of clouds, and a huge, huge rainbow!" Cao An described.

"In the sky?!" Dong Qianqing exclaimed in surprise.

Su Yang thought for a moment, smiled, and asked, "Was that place fun?"

"Very fun, my hair got all wet," Cao An nodded vigorously.

Su Yang lowered his gaze and understood.

What he called a 'sea of clouds' was actually a pond.

A rainbow appearing after Acid rain is not surprising.

"Is the Statue near the pond?" Su Yang thought to himself.

At this moment, Cao An was almost naked; the Clothing on his body had been half corroded by Acid rain, and large patches of skin showed blisters and necrosis.

To say without exaggeration, the current Cao An is a complete War-damaged version!

Yet he remained as cheerful as if nothing were wrong, earning Su Yang's admiration for his mental state.

"The beautiful lady who flew over yesterday also came, but why did she become ugly?" Cao An asked with a puzzled expression.

Dong Qianqing's slender brows knit, "Is this corpse... Su Peixian?!"

What a coincidence?

The place where they found Cao An also happens to be Su Peixian's Burial Ground?

Dong Qianqing cast a suspicious glance at Su Yang's silhouette, "Could it be..."

"Having trod iron shoes without a place to find, the gain comes without any effort."

A hoarse sound like metal grinding rang through the forest; beneath the swaying trees, a silhouette emerged, its shadowed face brimming with a smile.

"Zhu Xiang?" Su Yang narrowed his eyes.

Dong Qianqing was as if facing a great enemy, extremely vigilant.

Zhu Xiang glanced at Su Peixian's corpse, his smile growing fuller, "I thought the hardest to deal with was that fool, but you turned out to be the toughest character."

"Following you all the way, truly a bounty of gains!"

"Su Yang, your Mouth..."

"Indeed not simple!"
