Chapter 280: Bottomless Abyss (6/10, Autumn Subscription)

Unexpectedly, as time dragged on, Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu suddenly contacted her in reality, asking for her location, and Wei Ba immediately associated this with Fang Yue worrying about her and coming to help.

Sure enough, after not waiting long, Fang Yue really appeared before her.

In Wei Ba's impression, Fang Yue could be called a super professional player; not to mention his powerful strength, he was incredibly brave when encountering anomalies, and he could always solve any difficulties he faced.

The escort mission, which others saw as having an uncertain future and a high probability of failure, had so many twists and turns along the way, yet didn't Fang Yue finish it perfectly in the end?

Wei Ba and the others also gained many benefits because of this, which could be said to have sent them soaring, greatly increasing their Yang lifespan, so they didn't have to be busy to the point of exhaustion just for "survival."

At the same time, the opportunities in Mo Cun were far more numerous than in Gu Yue Cun; not only the players, but many villager members of the escort team also gained quite a lot in Mo Cun.

If they hadn't made this trip and had stayed cooped up in Gu Yue Cun, they wouldn't have been able to improve this much.

Therefore, most of the people in the escort team were very grateful to and respectful of Fang Yue.

During the escort, Wei Ba had also observed Fang Yue, and his care for her, his character, and so on, all made her feel that Fang Yue was as trustworthy as a big brother next door.

So when she encountered a difficult problem, the first person she thought of was Fang Yue, and Fang Yue had now appeared before her.

Therefore, she naturally handed the problem before her over to Fang Yue, believing that Fang Yue would definitely be able to help her solve it!

However, Fang Yue could not feel Wei Ba's heavy trust.

He pondered for a moment, observed the cliff edge for a long time, and said to Wei Ba, "How about... I use your rope to go down and check the situation first?"

"That's fine, but Ye Ge, what about the two little tails following behind?"

Fang Yue glanced at the two large trees far away in the back and said, "What else can you do? If they cause trouble, just kill them."

"This... that wouldn't be good, would it?"

Wei Ba hesitated slightly.

Compared to a greenhouse flower like Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu, an attribute warrior propped up by Fang Yue feeding her food every day, Wei Ba was clearly much better.

Not only because she hadn't had the treatment Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu had, and thus cherished the opportunity before her all the more, feeling a bit like she was fighting for herself.

But also because she had come into contact with more things while completing mission chains in the wild, making her more mature.

Therefore, she was only a little hesitant, not flatly refusing or being soft-hearted or anything.

"There's nothing bad about it; be ruthless when you need to be. They are no match for you. Remember, if the rope is controlled by those two, it's equivalent to my life being held by them. Protecting the rope is protecting me."

Hearing Fang Yue say this, Wei Ba nodded heavily: "I know what to do."

Wei Ba's strength was taught by Ni Dongmei, while Hai Ming and Liao Moran over there used Hunter methods.

Hunter methods were all created to deal with anomaly hunting; let alone dealing with people, even dealing with anomalies, they were inferior methods.

So as long as Wei Ba had normal strength, she should be able to crush those two.

However, to be cautious, Fang Yue still decided to descend only a short distance to scout the situation first.

After securing the rope, Fang Yue grabbed it and dropped down the cliff, stepping on the cliff face every few steps, and soon disappeared from view.

Wei Ba stood guard by the rope, occasionally scanning the direction where Liao Moran and the other were.

Liao Moran frowned deeply.

At first, she thought these two were going on a secret date.

But as they walked, how did they end up at the edge of a cliff? Were they going to commit suicide for love??

Looking closer, she discovered they had all the tools, and then Captain Ye jumped off the cliff.

Liao Moran:???

What kind of game is this? What are they doing??

Liao Moran was stunned, and Hai Ming was just as stunned; he couldn't figure it out at all.

Seeing Liao Moran in front of her dazed, he secretly leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Why did Captain Ye jump off the cliff? Is there something at the bottom of the cliff?"

Hai Ming's voice gave Liao Moran a fright. Seeing it was Hai Ming, she immediately glared at him: "Why did you follow!"

"Just kidding, you can tail them, why can't I?"

"You pervert!"

"Shh! Be quiet, don't get discovered."

As he spoke, Hai Ming rubbed his chin: "I suspect there is some treasure at the bottom of the cliff, that's why they are going down."

"And then?"

"And then, don't you want to make a profit?"

"How?"

"After they leave, we'll go down the cliff to scout the bottom!"

This suggestion made Liao Moran feel a bit tempted, but her grandfather was packing up the camp and they were about to leave, so where would there be a next time?

Seeming to see through Liao Moran's thoughts, Hai Ming curled his lips.

"This is a treasure that even Captain Ye is coveting! If you want to leave, go ahead, but even if I'm the only one, I'm going to get this treasure!"

A bigger reason was that Hai Ming wanted to make Fang Yue, this guy who snatched what others loved, suffer a setback!

While the two were chatting, Fang Yue, who had gone down earlier, had already returned to the top of the cliff.

They immediately stopped talking, but after a while, they discovered that Fang Yue was walking in their direction.

Their hearts skipped a beat, and the two subconsciously held their breath, but... it was useless; Fang Yue's voice had already sounded.

"You two, since you've followed, then make yourselves useful."

The two figures stiffened, and they bit the bullet and walked out from behind the big tree.

Hai Ming laughed dryly: "Captain Ye, what a coincidence, you like evening walks too."

Fang Yue smiled slightly: "Yeah, what a coincidence. What's even more coincidental is that you two are going to go down the cliff with me in a moment."

Hai Ming:!!!

Liao Moran:!!!

They did have the idea of going down the cliff, but they certainly weren't being forced down by Fang Yue; this was a situation where the ominous far outweighed the auspicious, alright?

"This, this isn't necessary, is it? The sky is already late, and I'm still in a rush to go back and help Liaodashi pack his bags to return to Mo Cun."

"Right, that's right, if Grandfather gets impatient waiting, he will personally send someone to look for us."

The two spoke with hidden meaning, both using Liaodashi as a straw to clutch at for their lives.

However, Fang Yue did not care about Liaodashi at all.

In his eyes, apart from those like the Blood Hunter with whom he had shared life-and-death experiences, other Hunters were merely at the status of martial artists not even reaching the Third-rate Realm.

At most, they could be treated with the same regard as a Deputy Captain of Gu Yue Cun; they were not presentable, at least not the Hunters he had encountered so far.

Therefore, the backer the two placed their high hopes on, wanting Fang Yue to be wary of, was simply an existence that didn't even count as a paper tiger.

"As for Liaodashi, once this matter is concluded, I will personally go and explain it. For now, I ask the two of you to follow me."

Fang Yue spoke politely, but his fingers were already pressed against the scabbard of the Leng Yue blade, containing a hidden threat.

It had to be said, Fang Yue had underestimated things like cliffs.

When he had previously descended to the bottom of the cliff, he had truly felt the terror of the bottomless abyss.
