Everyone present looked at Gu Jiu.
Odinson and Huo Ting both showed their cards with full sincerity. If they want to cooperate, Gu Jiu should also show her cards.
Chai Yingying and Jiang Ze felt a little uneasy.
It was really that the trump cards given by Odinson and Horton were too good, which greatly helped their mission. If the young lady did not have enough trump cards to compete with the two, although they would not say anything, it would be a loss of face for the young lady, and people would subconsciously exclude them. Not only would they have a bad reputation among the players, but they would also get fewer points.
It’s okay that the points are few, but it’s a pity to waste such a great opportunity to make friends.
Chai Yingying has always been quick-witted and has already figured out the main system's intention of bringing together players from the Eastern and Western camps.
The mission in Ella Town is actually not difficult. The only danger is the monsters. However, with Huo Ting here, the threat of monsters is much reduced.
This time, the town of Ella is also a testing ground for players. Its purpose is to test the cooperation between Eastern and Western players and whether there is a need for cooperation.
Once successful, it may affect the game's clearance mode in the future.
Of course, she hoped that the eldest lady could show her ability to blind these people's eyes and make them convinced.
Under the gaze of everyone, Gu Jiu remained calm and unhurried.
She smiled and said, "I can make the fog dissipate earlier, but the time is limited."
Huh
The players present looked at her in surprise. This was actually a good idea. The thick fog was actually related to the magic circle. If the thick fog could be controlled, it could actually be regarded as indirectly controlling the activation of the magic circle.
"That's a good idea." Odinson nodded slightly.
Huo Ting looked at Gu Jiu. Based on his understanding of her, this was not what she wanted to say.
Then, Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Also, I roughly know where the witch Ella is."
The people present burst into an uproar.
This is what matters most.
Their mission is to find the cursed witch Ella, but there are too many Ellas in this town, and they don't know which one is the witch Ella, or even if none of them is the witch. So far, they have not found any information about the witch Ella.
Odinson asked with interest, "Where is the witch Ella?"
Gu Jiu shook his head, "It's no use saying it now."
"What do you mean by useless?" a Western player asked in confusion, with some suspicion in his eyes, wondering if this person couldn't come up with a convincing trump card, so he was just talking nonsense.
Huo Ting gave him a cold look and said, "I believe her."
Odinson stared at Gu Jiu with his dark green eyes, but did not ask her what she meant.
The three began to discuss the next plan.
Until the sky was slightly bright, everyone looked at the time and decided not to go back to the room to rest. Instead, they took out the food and started their breakfast.
The players who were resting upstairs came down one after another.
They were a little surprised to see this group of people already sitting in the hall eating breakfast.
"Odinson, you guys got up so early today?" Mina asked, "Are you going out again later?"
The Western players who were traveling with Mina were secretly looking at Odinson. Although Odinson did get up very early these days, the followers around him were not as abnormal as him. They didn't expect that several of them would sit here early today, which made them think more.
Odinson just nodded slightly and didn't say much.
Chen Zhiru, who came down with Yang Bing, looked at Huo Ting, then at Gu Jiu, his expression changing constantly.
Yang Bing asked softly: "Brother Ting, you didn't sleep last night, did you?"
Huo Ting said, "I went to sleep." He just got up in the middle of the night.
Yang Bing stopped asking questions after hearing this. He vaguely guessed what must have happened last night, but they didn't notice it, or perhaps these people's actions were too secretive and did not alarm other players.
Only Chen Zhiru felt angry.
She found herself excluded by those two again.
In the past, she was just the daughter of the Chen family. She didn’t have the status and family background to join them, so she wasn’t qualified. But now she is also a player, so why is she still not qualified to join
After breakfast, Odinson took the lead and went out with several teammates.
Chai Yingying and the others now understand that the purpose of Odinson's going out every day is to explore the town of Ella in the thick fog and confirm that the entire town is indeed a large magic circle, which requires them to measure the entire town.
Huo Ting waited patiently for Yang Bing and Chen Zhiru to finish breakfast, and then went out with his teammates.
Like Odinson, Huo Ting also measured the town of Ella and explored all the spatial points for summoning monsters in the town to avoid any omissions.
Gu Jiu wiped his mouth and slowly took Chai Yingying and the others out.
"Miss, where are you going?" Jiang Ze asked.
"Let's go to the eastern woods and pick some mist grass first."
After deciding where to go, the four of them headed straight toward the woods in the east.
Any monsters they encountered on the way were quickly dealt with by the four of them. After fighting monsters for the past few days, they had figured out many ways to deal with monsters and were very experienced. As long as the number of monsters did not exceed five, it was nothing to them.
It took them an hour to reach the eastern woods.
The visibility of the thick fog was only one hundred meters, and the foggy grass within one hundred meters covered the edge of the woods.
This misty grass seems endless. No matter how much players pulled out the day before, it will still grow all over the edge of the woods the next day, as if the thick fog is their catalyst. As long as the fog is there, they will grow endlessly.
This time, Gu Jiu picked a lot of Miwu grass and asked Chai Yingying and the others to pick more as well.
"Why pick so many?"
"it works."
Chai Yingying and Jiang Ze looked at her, suspecting that they might not be smart enough. Except for three hours at noon every day, they all acted together, but it seemed as if the eldest lady knew something more than them.
They picked all the mist grass within their sight.
"Why is there no mist grass here?"
A shocked voice came from the thick fog, and the four of them recognized it as Chen Zhiru's voice.
Gu Jiu and his companions pulled up the mist grass on the ground by the roots, and finally saw Huo Ting and his four companions appear within a hundred meters. At the same time, they also saw Gu Jiu and his four companions.
"Did you pick all the mist grass here?" Chen Zhiru asked in shock.
Gu Jiu didn't bother to pay attention to her and asked Huo Ting, "Why are you here?"
"I just happened to pass by." Huo Ting walked over, his eyes turned to Gu Jiu and Lu Ji again, his expression a little subtle.
Lu Ji looked at him calmly, deliberately leaned closer to Gu Jiu, and then his girlfriend hugged his waist. He couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, and a little bit showing off in front of his rival.
Huo Ting glanced past him, looked towards the woods, and asked, "Ajiu, have you been in?"
Gu Jiu hummed, "About four thousand meters deep is the edge of the barrier."
Seeing that Gu Jiu didn't answer and Huo Ting was even talking to her with a focused look on his face, Chen Zhiru almost got angry to death.
"What are you doing with all that mist grass?" she asked again.
Chai Yingying smiled and said, "Of course it is useful, otherwise why would we pick it? That's nonsense."
Chen Zhiru was so angry that her face turned blue and she glared at Chai Yingying. In her opinion, Chai Yingying, who was hanging out with Gu Jiu, was not a good person either and must be as annoying as that eldest lady.
But even though I hate her, I also feel that Chai Yingying is quite pitiful. It's obvious that she's a follower of the eldest lady.
What's there to be proud of being a follower
After getting Gu Jiu's approval, Huo Ting led his teammates into the woods and continued to measure the barrier at the edge of the town.
Chen Zhiru turned her head to look at them, holding a lone Misty Grass that she had found nearby. A vicious idea came to her mind. She could secretly throw the Misty Grass onto Gu Jiu when no one was paying attention. If the monster went crazy and killed her...
That's none of your business.
"Zhiru."
Chen Zhiru's heart skipped a beat. She looked up and found that Huo Ting in front of her had stopped at some point. His deep eyes looked straight at her, making her feel as if he saw through her. Her face stiffened.
She was just thinking about it and didn't really do anything bad.
Thinking of this, she became more confident and said, "Brother Ting, what's the matter?"
Huo Ting said: "I know your IQ is not high, you can't beat Gu Jiu, so it's okay to admit that you are not as good as her."
Chen Zhiru: “…” Get lost! Why should she admit such a frustrating thing
"So don't do anything stupid, otherwise I will have to give up on you." Huo Ting spoke in a rare and earnest tone.
Chen Zhiru's eyes instantly turned red. She looked at him weakly and pitifully, choking with sobs and saying, "Brother Ting, what did you say? Do you really want to..."
Huo Ting was unmoved, and even hummed, "You know my bottom line, I hope you remember it."
Chen Zhiru was angry, "Is Gu Jiu your bottom line?"
"No." Huo Ting said calmly, "My bottom line is the real world and the country." He paused, "Gu Jiu is also a citizen of our country."
Chen Zhiru: “…” After all, your bottom line also includes Gu Jiu.
Chen Zhiru was really sad this time. When she was restricted by him from using player methods against ordinary people before, she could still comfort herself that Gu Jiu was just an ordinary person anyway, and the Chen family would sooner or later swallow up the Gu family. She would use ordinary people's methods to destroy Gu Jiu's confidence.
But now, after Gu Jiu also became a player, she no longer had anyone to rely on.
How does she fight with Gu Jiu
**
Gu Jiu and his friends came to the only square in the town again.
Chai Yingying and Jiang Ze became alert. They still remembered that they were almost chased to death by a group of monsters yesterday. If Gu Jiu hadn't come, they would have wanted to take a detour.
Knowing that the terrain here is vast, there are the most monsters, and it is the most dangerous, I don't want to come here at all.
The two of them followed Gu Jiu and Lu Ji carefully and came to the big clock.
The ticking sound of machinery rang out in the thick fog.
"You wait here, I'll go up and take a look." Gu Jiu said to Chai Yingying and Jiang Ze.
The two nodded and watched her and Lu Ji go around the stone wall behind the clock. There was an entrance with a locked iron door. They could climb up the stairs behind the iron door to where the clock was. The residents of the town would enter from here every once in a while to wind up the clock that had stopped.
The iron gate is covered with rust, which shows that the residents of the town don't often come here.
Gu Jiu reached out and grabbed the chain on the iron gate, broke it with a little force, opened the iron gate and went up.
Lu Ji stood at the door and watched her go up.
Gu Jiu stayed there for nearly ten minutes.
Chai Yingying, Jiang Ze and others didn't know what she was doing and were very nervous. They kept their eyes and ears open, alert for those monsters.
As more and more monsters gathered in the thick fog, their hearts almost stopped.
"Miss, six monsters have gathered." Chai Yingying reminded.
It was unknown whether Gu Jiu, who was behind the stone wall, heard it or not. The two of them faced more and more monsters. They were so nervous that they were sweating and holding their weapons tightly.
Finally, two monsters rushed towards them.
Jiang Ze held the psychic gun and shot at them, trying to delay time as much as possible.
The speed of the monsters was too fast. Even though the two tried to delay time as much as possible, more than a dozen monsters soon gathered and surrounded the stone wall where the bell was.
Jiang Ze and Chai Yingying felt like poor little creatures surrounded by a pack of wolves.
Fortunately, when they were almost chopped by the monsters, Lu Ji jumped out from behind the stone wall. Without him moving, several monsters fell backwards together and flew dozens of meters before stopping.
They both: “…” It turned out to be the invisible boss, who finally took action.
In fact, during the trilateral talks last night, the two of them really wanted to use the big boss Lu Ji. Not only does their eldest lady have trump cards, but the big boss Lu Ji also has quite a few trump cards.
Gu Jiu finally came out from the stone wall. His bright red nails left a trail of afterimage, and he cut a bloody path, taking the three people away.
