Chapter 1031: Underground Melee

Underground Melee

"We are here to help, not invaders from underground!"

Even though Cheng Shi was still making a final effort, the great scholars turned a deaf ear to his explanation.

Bulza dropped a piece of black cloth from his sleeve, and with just one touch, the entire underground space fell into absolute darkness. Then the sound of wind breaking rose, and Neriviel's figure flashed directly to Cheng Shi's side.

This was an assassination doctor. Her dagger tip was coated with mysterious medicine from the Creation Alchemy Department. Once stabbed in the body, no one knew whether their body would become the next flesh-and-blood experimental field.

Cheng Shi's reaction was not slow. He instinctively took a step back to pull out space, and then snapped his fingers to swap behind the great scholar. But Neriviel was like a fish in water in the darkness, and the forward-stabbing dagger turned 180° incredibly and stabbed toward Cheng Shi's heart again.

Cheng Shi frowned, folded his hands and did something in the darkness. The next second, the dagger that should have pierced his chest brushed past his chest and poked into the air.

Neriviel clearly didn't expect that the other party had the ability to change her knife path. She retreated after one strike, not giving Cheng Shi any chance to counterattack, and then lay in the darkness to find the next opportunity.

And at this moment, the fire elements in the entire underground space became more boiling, the humid air was quickly scorched dry, and it was so dry that even if a breeze blew, it could bring up some sparks.

Immediately after, Fang Yuan's staff lit up. That ray of light like the morning sun shattered all darkness and brought absolute scorching breath to this underground space.

The fire marking the birth of 【Civilization】, at this moment, protected civilization again.

"Civilization fire rises, order lasts forever!"

With a cold prayer falling, the "Scorching Sun" on the staff rolled up a solar storm, countless fire lines splashed out, shooting toward the figures of the three great scholars.

The three great scholars had gloomy eyes. They each used means to avoid the pursuit of these flames, and at the same time did not forget to continue their own attacks. But every time these attacks reached before the two players, they appeared with various accidents, either turning or losing strength. In short, the point-to-point offensive was all disintegrated.

Seeing this, they finally realized that it was impossible to take down these two intruders while keeping this space. Thus, they pulled away and started chanting large-scale magic.

This time Fang Yuan's face finally changed.

"Tusnat's 【Truth】 Strangling Array. This is a legion-level means of dealing with enemies. Using it here, on the two of us?"

"Are we worthy?"

"..."

Cheng Shi was also not sure about the situation. To be honest, it was too simple for him to handle the three great scholars before him. Just one snap of his fingers, and Zainjier would definitely have three more cellmates.

But the problem was that he didn't feel these great scholars were real scholars, because the puppet feeling flowing in their every move was too strong. They were like puppets, being manipulated to block his and Fang Yuan's steps.

Without understanding the experimental situation, and even not being able to determine whether killing the scholars would affect the experiment, Cheng Shi couldn't directly take action to eliminate the threat, so he approached Fang Yuan and asked:

"How long can you hold them off alone?"

Fang Yuan's pupils shrank, and he said in a deep voice: "Can't hold them off."

"..." Cheng Shi glanced at him angrily, "You are a liar, what's the use of lying to me?"

"You didn't break open the void to escape at the first moment, so you must have the ability to hold them off. Just need 3, no, 5 minutes. I'll rush in to see what's going on inside. After 5 minutes, I'll help you sweep this place. How about it?"

Fang Yuan was stunned, his eyes looked behind Asgis, and he frowned: "Can you rush past?"

Cheng Shi nodded, stretched out his hand, clamped four dice between his fingers, and then threw them out casually. The four dice were like arrows that would never fall, shooting past Asgis's body into the darkness behind.

Seeing this, Fang Yuan's brows furrowed tighter.

"I can only hold on for 3 minutes, but you have to tell me how you blocked their offensive. Fate Weaver, this time I didn't see the legendary Golis and your warrior-like skill."

"This means of defending and attacking looks like..."

"?"

Knowing so detailedly, it seemed that this president of the Order Alliance hadn't investigated himself less.

"Secret." Cheng Shi interrupted Fang Yuan, smiling mysteriously, "I said I could watch your back, so I definitely can."

"So believe me, I said I could come back in 5 minutes, and I definitely can!"

As he spoke, Cheng Shi snapped his fingers and disappeared. Fang Yuan's square face pulled very long, and he roared at the front of the passage:

"3 minutes, one more second and you'll have to collect my corpse!"

The roar echoed in the empty underground space, not getting any response from Cheng Shi, but instead letting the chanting voices of the three great scholars cover it up slowly.

Seeing that there was no way to retreat, Fang Yuan took a deep breath, directly took out a golden key from his portable space, hooked it on his hand, and said to the three great scholars:

"Stop, everyone. This is the key to the 【Abomination's Rage】 cage, and it is a special version blessed by the 【Order Iron Law】. I think you should know what this means."

"Exactly. Once I crush it, the never-ending meteor fire rain will immediately chisel Tusnat flat and turn this place into purgatory."

"No matter who you are, which side you stand on, or what you are plotting, I can guarantee that you will definitely fail."

"But I can also let your plans continue. Great Scholars, you only need to stop firing for 3... 5 minutes for me."

Speaking of this, Fang Yuan's tone was somewhat gnashing his teeth.

"Stop for 5 minutes and stand here without moving. No matter what happens inside, after 5 minutes, whatever you want to continue can continue. How about it?"

"【Order】 is above, we don't need to kill each other. That's what 【War】 should do. I think you, who have also lost to the country of war, also hate that 【War】 will that arches fire everywhere."

Negotiation, to a certain extent, is indeed an advanced means of offensive and defensive integration. Especially in high-end games, the more opportunities for negotiation, the better.

But whether it can be negotiated, no one can say for sure.

Because he also saw that these three Great Scholars were clearly three puppets. Who the master behind the puppets was remained to be seen, so Fang Yuan had no idea if the other party would agree.

However, he was already preparing another means of resisting the enemy, thinking that dragging on for 5 minutes was not impossible.

But at this moment, the three great scholars suddenly stopped chanting and looked at the key in Fang Yuan's hand thoughtfully.

"You will not succeed."

Asgis left such a sentence and stood still, no longer making any sound.

The remaining two stepped back and stood against the wall, like puppets hanging upside down, without any sound.

Looking at this weird scene before him, Fang Yuan couldn't help but wonder, who exactly controlled this group of great scholars? ===== CHAPTER 1032 =====
