Chapter 772: Collective Action?! Who's Being Weird?

Su Yang:?

No mistake, right?

Clearly it is Ji Huai who harbors the resolve to kill him.

Now why act like a coward?

Could it be...

Su Yang chuckled inwardly, stopped his Foot, "Ji Da Ge, what's wrong with you? Could you possibly suspect that I turned into a Monster?"

"I may not look like a good person, but it shouldn't make you fear to this extent, right?"

Ji Huai has always trusted his own intuition.

Although this thing is somewhat ethereal, it has saved him more than once at crucial moments.

Su Yang now gives him the feeling of being an unstable factor.

At any moment, terrifying energy could erupt.

Therefore, even if Ji Huai shows a disgraceful demeanor, he is unwilling to take this risk.

He knows in his heart that Su Yang's Innate Talent is extremely bizarre, far beyond what ordinary players can reach.

Even though the 'Two-Headed Worm' provides information from behind, he only knows a star and a half.

Moreover, Su Yang entered the Building Body early, and his timing is fifteen minutes earlier than this 'old player'.

There must be ghosts inside!

"Sorry, that was my lapse." Ji Huai promptly adjusted his emotions, exhaled and continued: "I am naturally suspicious by nature, please forgive me."

"Not at all, you only asked me not to get close; this suggestion is not excessive at all," Su Yang smiled faintly and continued:

"Being cautious is correct; it's human nature."

Ji Huai stared into Su Yang's eyes for a moment, said, "…Su Lao Di, as long as you understand, that's fine."

The two appear amicable on the surface, but secretly harbor hidden threats.

Su Yang, seeing the atmosphere heavy, took the initiative and said, "Why haven't they arrived yet?"

"Probably they haven't found the guidance I left; wait a bit longer," Ji Huai said.

"With such heavy snow outside, Ji Da Ge, can you guarantee the guidance won't be erased?" Su Yang asked curiously.

"I have carved arrows on the street lamps; I believe they aren't stupid enough to not understand this hint," Ji Huai said.

"Oh?" Su Yang raised his Brow, "Ji Da Ge, how do you know that following the street lamps will definitely lead to the Building Body?"

Ji Huai remained unflustered, said calmly, "I habitually make marks along the way; regardless of whether following the street lamps is right or wrong, as long as they stick to the predetermined route, they will certainly be safe."

Su Yang suddenly understood, couldn't help but raise his thumb, "I never thought of it; the method is indeed ingenious."

Ji Huai lifted his glasses slightly, smiled without words.

The scene fell silent again, Su Yang couldn't sit still and went to the Bookshelf.

Looking at the books placed there, he casually took one and flipped through it.

He saw that the contents were all incomprehensible scribbles.

Turning several books in succession yielded the same, truly uninteresting.

Perhaps these books are merely decorations.

They serve to set the atmosphere.

Soon, the main gate opened.

"Bang!"

Su Yang heard the sound and looked, seeing three people burst in, each draped in a Snow Garment, looking weary and dust‑covered.

"Brother, here!"

Ji Huai casually took it, weighed it, and nodded.

The newcomers were surprisingly Liu Pangzi and the big‑nosed man.

A woman followed behind; her first day's Rankings was ninth, narrowly avoiding Exile.

"What's the situation now?" the big‑nosed man asked.

"Inside?" Liu Pangzi suggested.

Ji Huai glanced at Su Yang, waved his hand and said, "No rush, this time we act collectively."

Hm?

Su Yang couldn't help glancing at him, curiously saying, "I recall Lin Jin just this morning said that eggs can't be placed in the same basket at the same time; have you forgotten so quickly?"

"The Hard Map situation is special; before nightfall, it's recommended to stick together," Ji Huai said.

"Is that so? But what if we encounter a Monster?" Su Yang retorted.

"We counter each move as it comes; now that we have a Shovel in hand, do we still need to fear Monster interference?"

Hearing this, Su Yang couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

If it weren't for his 'All‑Seeing Eye' that preemptively discerned the Monster's attack methods and weaknesses, perhaps he would indeed have been three points confused by it.

Some Monsters cannot be killed with a Shovel.

Ji Huai knows this well, yet still chooses to do so.

From Su Yang's perspective, there may be two possibilities—

Either he wants to use the opportunity to thin the player count, and kill Su Yang.

Or he worries that Su Yang will preemptively set traps, trying to find a sacrificial pawn to scout.

But regardless of the starting point, Su Yang is pleased to accept.

"Alright!" Su Yang smiled and nodded.

Ten minutes later, the main gate was pushed open again.

This time Su Qi and Lu Zhiwei finally arrived, and Qin Yu Zhou was also surprisingly among them.

All ten are present!

"Why are we all standing here?" Lu Zhiwei, holding a Shovel, came to Su Yang's side, her face full of doubt.

Ji Huai glanced around, fixed his gaze on one of the doors on the first floor, and said, "Keep close during the group action, let's go!"

"Hold on!" Lin Jin reached out to stop, then pointed at Su Yang and said, "I don't want to go with that guy."

"Why?" Liu Pangzi asked.

"Why so many questions? I see him and want to vomit, okay?" Lin Jin gave a defiant Laugh.

"You want to break the unity?" Liu Pangzi said angrily.

"Stop labeling me, I won't buy that!"

Saying that, Lin Jin didn't take the Shovel and headed straight for the Second Floor.

Liu Pangzi saw his arrogance, grew furious, and was about to scold when Ji Huai stopped him.

The latter shook his head and said, "Let him go."

"Don't give him a chance; it'd be best if he died," Liu Pangzi spat.

Lin Jin pretended not to hear, randomly chose one of the doors and entered.

Ji Huai, seeing this, loudly asked, "Anyone still want to go alone?"

No one responded.

He nodded with satisfaction, "We agreed beforehand, the goods are taken by whoever is quickest."

"I'll clear the way, everyone follow!"

After speaking, he took the Shovel and walked at the front, with Liu Pangzi close behind.

The others didn't understand why it suddenly turned this way, but still followed.

Su Yang had just taken a step when Lu Zhiwei asked in confusion, "What happened? Why did it suddenly become a group action?"

In her impression, Ji Huai should belong to the lone-wolf type of player.

Since yesterday deliberately luring the Springhead already showed a clue.

But now, contrary to his usual behavior, he is grouping up.

Su Yang glanced at his back and said slowly, "Afraid of dying, what else could it be?"

"Then we..." Lu Zhiwei drew a circle with her Finger.

"It's hard to get a team-building once; how could we insult his face?" Su Yang's Mouth twitched slightly upward.

Lu Zhiwei didn't understand, but still chased after.

Su Qi and Su Yang were half a body length apart, their Spirit highly focused, Muscle constantly taut.

Upon first entering the Gate, the interior space was very spacious, the walls even bore Seal Mark wall patterns, looking rather cozy.

No one knew where the fireplace came from; the temperature inside was suitable, and the humidity just right.

Ji Huai kept his promise, always walking at the front, leading by example.

Footstep sounds echoed around, quietly a bit eerie.

"Puff~"

Suddenly, a voice full of aura rang out.

Everyone turned back together, staring at Su Yang, their eyes full of displeasure.

It seemed to say—

What time is it, still being weird?
