"Brother Tianxiao, where are we going next?"
After repaying the favor and bidding farewell to the Tianji team, Chu and Lu quickly moved away from the spot. After running for a while, Lu Meir finally couldn't suppress the doubts in her heart and asked through Zhenyuan voice transmission.
"Um… "
Hearing the sound, Chu Tianxiao paused, but did not rush to answer. Instead, he leaned down and carefully looked at the traces of the beast's passing...
"This should be the right direction."
After a moment, he seemed to have come to a conclusion and muttered to himself.
Then, he looked at Lu Meir, his face became a little solemn, and he said with his true energy: "Meier, you should have noticed it too, right? Our whereabouts along the way have been induced by someone... Along the way, I tried nine methods, but it seems that I am still trapped by the mastermind behind the scenes. From this, I infer that he should be very familiar with this area... Moreover, he has done so many things and spent so much energy, his target will definitely not be the Tianji team, but us!"
"In other words, my identity has probably been exposed to the mastermind behind this."
"Fortunately he is not a demon."
After the last word fell, Lu Meir nodded. If the opponent was the demons, they would have been surrounded and killed by a group of powerful demons along the way. How could they have walked here safely...
"But Brother Tianxiao, even if the enemy is not a demon, he definitely has bad intentions! He is leading us in this direction, most likely setting a huge trap... Why don't we return to the Wartime Alliance headquarters immediately to make his trap fail, and instead go deeper into this place?"
Hearing Lu Meir's doubtful question, Chu Tianxiao shook his head and whispered four words: "Will it be useful?"
Hearing this, Lu Meir seemed to be thinking about something.
"This time's opponent... is very interesting. Although there are many unknowns, there is no doubt that he 'knows' too many things... Therefore, we must do something beyond his expectations in order to break this situation."
"Well! Brother Xiao, what are you going to do that day?"
"It's very simple..." Chu Tianxiao looked towards the direction where the beast had left its footprints, his eyes narrowed slightly, "If there is one thing that person didn't expect, or in other words, 'never happened'... then it must be this."
After hearing this, Lu Meir's eyes lit up: "Live towards death?"
"That's right. He would never have thought that we knew there was a beast tide ahead, but not only did we not avoid it, but we ran towards it quickly, crashed into it head-on, and rushed into the center of the storm!" Chu Tianxiao nodded, "Doing this is certainly very dangerous, but instead of hesitating in the darkness, it is better to head towards death and fight for that chance of survival. And judging from the recent actions of the man behind the scenes, he is very likely not the 'arranger' of all this, but just the 'guide', so... if he really cares about 'us', he must end up on the scene, from 'behind the scenes' to 'player'!"
"In other words, he must bear the same risks as us!"
"I understand! Brother Tianxiao's intention is to force the opponent into the same situation as us, and then compete fairly, relying on each other's ability?" Lu Meir's eyes lit up to the extreme, "Although it is very risky, under this situation, it is indeed possible to break the deadlock!"
"Well... With so much intelligence between us and the enemy, we have no choice but to take this risky move!" Chu Tianxiao said this with a hint of worry in his eyes, "It's just that I've dragged you into this, and even forced you to go to a dangerous place..."
"Brother Tianxiao, I'm fine." Lu Meir laughed and hugged Chu Tianxiao's arm after transmitting the message. "No matter where we are, no matter how dangerous it is, as long as I can be with you, I will be satisfied... Besides, maybe that guy did so many things just to target me? Besides, I am the princess of the First Empire of Shenzhou. It is my duty to find out what the relationship between this beast tide and the demon clan is..."
"Yeah... That's it! So... Brother Tianxiao, don't think too much..."
After these words fell, Chu Tianxiao fell into deep thought. After a moment, he reached out and touched Lu Meir's little head, nodded slightly and said, "Thank you, Meir."
After hearing this, Lu Meir's face turned red, like a ripe red apple. Her heart was beating non-stop, and her heart was in a complete mess...
Unconsciously, Chu Tianxiao had learned it all by himself, and used the ultimate move against lolita that only existed in legends in later generations...
What a secret. Pat the head to kill!
Lu Meir showed a shy look like a little girl. She didn't know where to put her hands, so she had to press them on Chu Tianxiao, pushing him, and said randomly: "Ah, that, let's go! You... have always been a man of swift and decisive actions..."
"Heh... let's go then."
In response, Chu Tianxiao smiled slightly and took back his hand. In an instant, Lu Meir's face fell. Seeing this, Chu Tianxiao couldn't help but shook his head and smiled, and then pulled up Lu Meir's soft and boneless little hand...
The girl smiled immediately.
The two of them quickly ran towards the direction where the beast tide was coming.
…
Bang!
In a dense forest, a young man in black fiercely crushed the mirror in his hand. The broken lens cut his hands and blood flowed out. But what was that pain compared to the scars in his heart
"Chu Tianxiao!"
Every time he saw his "certain" lover being affectionate with this "reptile that shouldn't exist", the black-clothed teenager felt as if he had a hat on his head, and as time went by, the green color became darker...
Of course, this was not the only reason why he was so angry that he crushed this very useful precious mirror... He was so angry, more because... Chu Tianxiao actually "accidentally" found the "weak spot" of his plan!
Yes, even though he knew that many things in the next twenty years would be enough for him to lay a huge net in this area, no matter how Chu Tianxiao struggled, it should be in vain...
However, he never expected that Chu Tianxiao would actually take this path towards death!
This move really hit his information blind spot!
You know, even for him, the information he got was not all from personal experience, but mostly from "rumors that spread out". So the question is... Who would be so stupid as to go forward knowing that the center of the beast tide is ahead
No one.
Therefore, there is no definite information.
Zhou Lin could only roughly infer what was at the center of the storm based on "what happened later"... However, such incomplete information was very dangerous...
"Hateful! This gambler!"
"This will add a lot of variables. I... can I only leave early?"
"Or... give up?"
Zhou Lin was hesitant.
At this moment, he really hated Chu Tianxiao's behavior that was almost like gambling with his life!
Originally, he had absolute control over the situation. Relying on the information asymmetry, he made arrangements everywhere and easily achieved good results - just look at how depressed Chu Tianxiao was when he was forced by him some time ago.
However, Chu Tianxiao's move brought the situation back to the starting point.
This is like a gambler who uses a X-ray cheat, but is suddenly asked to gouge out both parties' eyes to gamble.
All advantages are lost.
"Take it... or not?"
For some reason, Zhou Lin felt a little uneasy.
He had long been accustomed to the "known", and therefore became more and more afraid of the "unknown"... Just like the day when the "Lord Feng" was confused and uncomfortable after he used the cheat but was beaten back to his original form, Zhou Lin had long inevitably developed a dependence on "known information"...
During this period, he did everything only after he had "complete information" and was 100% sure. As a result, he tasted a lot of sweetness and kept accumulating... Now, he has the basic "capital" to challenge Chu Tianxiao.
So this time, facing the "semi-unknown land with insufficient intelligence", he subconsciously wanted to change his home ground to fight again... But just when this thought came to his mind, the scene where Chu Tianxiao used the "pat on the head" and Lu Meir smiled shyly just now suddenly appeared in his mind...
moment.
Just a moment.
Ten thousand, no, tens of thousands of ferocious grassland mud horses were trampling wildly through his heart!
It’s hard to tell whether it was frustration or resentment. In short, under the influence of some emotion, Zhou Lin immediately made up his mind!
"We can't retreat! We absolutely can't retreat!"
"They... they have come to this point. If they can't win back Mei'er's heart and get rid of that loser this time... I'm afraid they won't have another chance..."
"Besides, it's not like I know nothing about that place... When it comes to advantages in details, I still have the upper hand, so there's nothing to be afraid of!"
"The destiny is with me!"
