Chapter 84 3, the rest of the people have no choice but to listen to you.
The scene instantly descended into complete chaos.
Wei Ze saw that not only did his own people not help him, but they also came to take his side...
Overwhelmed by the rush of blood and qi, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
Looking at this absurd scene, Mu Wanqing felt a churning in her stomach, and a sense of disgust almost overflowed from her chest.
But the next second, a more primal instinct overcame the disgust.
This Wei Ze...
What's wrong?
Although he has questionable conduct on ordinary days, he has never let anyone down in crucial moments.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be worthy to be her opponent.
Doesn't he know the importance of the Heart of Corruption and the value of a King-level BOSS?
Especially the [Heart of Corruption].
Its purpose was that Mu Wanqing lied to Chen Yifan.
As long as I get this thing.
Their Black Gold Merchant Guild will then be able to have another beginner dungeon that can be accessed selectively.
Doesn't he understand how important this is for the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce to cultivate new talent?
never mind!
Whether he was genuinely dizzy or faking it, he has already lost the right to continue leading the team.
The officials have not arrived yet.
We must do it as soon as possible.
Mu Wanqing's eyes instantly sharpened.
She stepped forward, her voice not loud, but clearly reaching everyone's ears.
"Shut up if you don't want to die!"
Her gaze swept over the four bewildered team members, her voice carrying an undeniable authority.
"Your captain has gone mad. Now, you only have two paths before you."
"First, go mad with him, then be awakened by that tree spirit and eaten one by one as a snack."
"second……"
Mu Wanqing's gaze fell on the Ten Thousand Hearts Ghost Mother Tree, which exuded a terrifying aura, her eyes flashing with determination and greed.
"Follow my orders, take it down! Then, get back alive!"
Mu Wanqing's voice was like a bucket of ice water poured over the heads of the four members of the [Blazing Flame Execution Team].
They instinctively looked at the pulsating, fleshy giant tree, feeling the eerie aura that sent shivers down their spines.
Looking at the unconscious captain, everyone fell silent.
Reason told them that Mu Wanqing was right.
Without Wei Ze as their leader, the four of them alone were still a bit short of being able to challenge a King-level BOSS whose condition was unknown.
Similarly, they cannot accept it emotionally.
They were Wei Ze's confidants and the undisputed "Wei faction" within the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce.
Making them obey their mortal enemy, Mu Wanqing, is worse than killing them.
Why should I listen to you?
A burly shield warrior with a hideous scar on his face stepped forward.
He is the vice-captain of this squad.
His name is Zhao Hu.
Lv.25 [Rock Guardian].
He has always been loyal to Wei Ze.
"Mu Wanqing, don't think we don't know what you're up to!"
Zhao Hu's eyes were filled with vigilance and hostility.
"Our captain just got into trouble, and you're already trying to steal the limelight and swallow up our [Blazing Execution Team]? Dream on!"
"That's right! We only listen to the captain!"
Another team member echoed this sentiment.
They would rather abandon the mission and protect the captain's retreat than hand over command to Mu Wanqing.
"madness!"
Mu Wanqing's chest heaved with anger; she hadn't expected these people to be so stubborn.
"Do you think this is child's play? Look at that monster! Do you really think it'll be kind enough to let us go?"
Her voice suddenly rose in pitch, filled with a sense of oppression.
"Without my [Compass of Truth] for guidance, you won't even be able to find your way back! Do you want to be trapped in this godforsaken place forever?"
Zhao Hu's expression changed, but he remained firm.
"We don't need your command! Our [Blazing Execution Team] has carried out more missions than you've eaten meals! Even without a captain, we can still kill it!"
"With just you guys?"
Mu Wanqing let out a sneer, her contempt for him undisguised.
"Okay, very good."
Instead of getting angry, she smiled and nodded.
"Since you're so full of guts, then go ahead. I want to see how you're going to 'kill it'."
After saying that, she actually took a few steps back and made a "please go ahead" gesture.
This put Zhao Hu and his group in a difficult position.
Their bluster was all bark and no bite.
Half of it was out of loyalty.
The other half, too, was testing Mu Wanqing's bottom line, trying to gain more initiative.
But no one expected that Mu Wanqing would be so decisive and simply abandon the matter.
"you……"
Zhao Hu's face instantly turned a deep liver color.
To go or not to go?
Going there won't kill them, and they might even get injured.
If I don't go, won't all the boasts I just made become a joke on the spot?
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the passageway became even more eerie than before.
The two groups stood facing each other with tense standoffs, neither willing to back down.
Chen Yifan, hiding in the corner, was like a stone blending into the darkness, huddled in the most inconspicuous corner.
He watched with great interest.
beat!
Let's start fighting!
It would be best to beat the dog's brains out!
While mentally cheering for this melodramatic spectacle, he slowly and methodically initiated the [Investigation].
Target: Deputy Captain Zhao Hu.
Target: Zhao Hu
[Class: B-rank - Rock Guardian]
[Talent: Rank B - Immovable as a Mountain (Passive)]
[Note: Upon receiving a fatal attack, a rock shield that absorbs massive damage will be activated, greatly increasing the user's resilience and defense. The shield lasts for 10 seconds.]
【Spirit: 95】
[List of items that can be stolen:]
【1. Talent: Rank B - Immovable as a Mountain】
【2. Class: B-rank - Rock Guardian】
3. Skill: Shield Bash (Rank D)
【…】
Oh?
A talent for survival?
The key is that it will automatically activate when subjected to a fatal attack.
Chen Yifan's gaze swept over the talent description, but his heart remained largely unmoved.
His [Steal All Things] skill was just refreshed by [Instant Reforge].
He was now like a nouveau riche with an unlimited black card rushing into a luxury store; these B-grade "goods" in front of him were hardly arousing his interest anymore.
A natural talent for survival is very good.
But is this the optimal solution?
Chen Yifan's gaze slowly moved between Zhao Hu, Mu Wanqing, and the giant tree in the distance.
In the end, it fell on Mu Wanqing.
Looking at her angry and anxious yet stubbornly proud demeanor, a plan instantly formed in his mind.
Stealing a B-grade talent will only make him a little stronger.
But if...
Could it change the entire course of the war?
The boss inside...
Although the first "surveillance" did not yield satisfactory results.
But what if the other party is seriously injured...?
He didn't believe it; things never went as planned.
Chen Yifan's mind remained steadfast, tilting directly towards maximizing his own interests.
And in those few short minutes of their standoff...
Nobody noticed.
Outside the passageway, the pulsating frequency of the giant flesh tree was quietly increasing.
"Thump...thump...thump..."
The sound grew more urgent and heavier, like the beating of war drums.
An invisible will, filled with tyranny and hunger, is slowly awakening from its slumber.
These are the intruders.
It is the anger, greed, suspicion, and fear emanating from them that are like the finest delicacies, awakening this sleeping glutton!
On the trunk of the giant tree, the eerie green vein-like patterns began to emit an eerie glow.
The thousands upon thousands of "fruits" hanging on the branches, their contorted faces, seemed to come alive.
"Wait! Look at that tree!"
It was Mu Wanqing who was the first to notice that something was wrong.
Her expression instantly turned extremely serious.
Reminded by her words, Zhao Hu and the others immediately looked over.
Upon seeing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
That tree... is about to wake up!
"Hold!"
Zhao Hu cursed fiercely, cold sweat instantly beading on his forehead.
Even if he were stupid, he would know that once the monster fully awakens, their small group would have no choice but to retreat.
The passageways are intricate and complex.
When we arrived, we were able to locate this place by relying on the signal sent by Mu Wanqing.
If we go back now, we might get completely lost in the passageway.
"What should we do?"
One of the team members sounded a little nervous.
Wei Ze was still acting crazy, and Mu Wanqing made it clear that she didn't want to get involved with them.
They were completely isolated.
Mu Wanqing looked at them coldly, without the slightest pity in her heart.
But she knew she couldn't wait any longer.
We can't count on this bunch of useless people.
She has to rely on herself!
Mu Wanqing took a deep breath and took out a scroll that emitted a soft golden light from her bracelet.
【Holy Light Protection Scroll (Grade A)】
It can significantly enhance all of the user's attributes in a short period of time and add a powerful holy light shield.
She was ready to give it her all.
Even if she's alone, she'll try to seize the [Heart of Corruption]!
Otherwise, the authorities will find this place sooner or later.
By then, they won't have a chance.
However, just as her fingertips were about to touch the reel, preparing to burn her last glimmer of hope, she was in danger.
A voice, flat to the point of being indifferent, yet carrying a hint of amusement, echoed softly from the shadows behind her.
Three million.
Mu Wanqing's action of tearing the reel suddenly froze.
She turned around abruptly, only to find nothing behind her.
Then, the voice rang out again, carrying a deadly allure.
"I'll help you eliminate your competitors."
"In that case, the rest of the people will have no choice but to listen to you."
