Chapter 84: The Darkness Before Dawn
"Nuwa Niangniang, I have no choice but to do it, don't blame me." Qian Yunyue read the words, and then swung down with a sword, cutting off a corner of the divine stone, although the antidote needs to be powdered, but after all, it is necessary to make thousands of people's portions, and the amount is still relatively large, so he divided the divine stone into several small pieces.
With the Nuwa Stone brought back by Qianyunyue, the work of making the antidote immediately began quickly, fortunately, there are many pharmacists in the three major guilds here at present, plus others, a total of nearly forty pharmacists have gathered, but considering the huge number, it is estimated that the production time will take half a day at the earliest.
"Do you want to inform the other guilds? If there are more people, the efficiency is also a little higher. Frost looked at Feng Guanxia with a little hesitation.
Feng Guanxia Yi shook her head, Nuwa Stone, a precious material that basically no one has ever seen, can't be given to people casually, and if Qianyunyue can take it out, it is already a trust in them.
"So be it." Xiao Lou Yeyu pondered for a while, "The production of the medicine will be handled by a few of us, I will wait and inform the people of the other guilds with the domineering brother respectively, let them gather together, and prepare to participate in the counterattack battle in the afternoon, and by the way, let them send a message to the people arrested in their guild to stabilize the morale of the army, and inform them that we will find a way to save them, so that they can rest assured." When the time comes, just give them the finished medicine, and say that it is the antidote from the enemy. ”
"What's going on in the city right now?" Qian Yunyue hadn't closed her eyes for more than twenty hours, and she finally rested for a while just now.
"The enemy has already begun to search the whole city, and it is only a matter of time before we find out that this is the case, as long as we hold on until the antidote is done, we can start a counterattack." Frost is distributing the antidote, "Sister Feng has already organized people to deploy defenses, and the enemy can't attack in the city, so it shouldn't be a big problem." ”
"Hmm." Qian Yunyue nodded, then looked at Ling Ziyan on the side, "Did you find anything last night?" ”
"As you guessed, there are no other residents here, all of them are the city lord's subordinates, in order not to let us notice, so they will lead us directly to the guild hall, after we escaped, I used Xiaohua's skills to investigate, there is no one in the city, it should all be involved in the arrest operation." Ling Ziyan and the others reconnoitred around the street last night, but they didn't even see a ghost. "And this city has been surrounded by enchantments, and it is impossible to get out at all."
"What is the purpose of this guy arresting so many people?" Qianyunyue couldn't figure out why, as a ruler, didn't use virtue to convince the people, but used this kind of subordinate means to expand his power.
"This little old man has heard of it." At this time, Yan Eighteen walked over, "It is said that this city lord Ji Yingtian is the queen of the Xuanyuan Clan, but thousands of years ago, the Xuanyuan Clan has declined, has lost its former glory, and has lost its ruling position on this continent. And legend has it that the rebellion was caused by the descendants of the Xuanyuan clan, so the people no longer trust them, but have established different countries. Although Ji Yingtian has ambitions, but he has more than enough strength to do so, and this place is already sparsely populated, and it is already a dangerous area in the human world, so it is very difficult to form his own forces, in order to regain his lofty position and unify this continent, it is rumored that he sold his soul to the evil god in order to gain power. Over the years, he has captured a lot of warriors, and if he adds this time, I am afraid that he will be able to form a powerful army of 10,000 people. ”
"What a mess this is." Qian Yunyue frowned, to put it simply, it was the desire for profit that blinded her mind. If Xuanyuan Ancestor knew about it, he would probably crawl out of the coffin in anger.
"Of course, this is also some hearsay gossip, as for the truth, only Ji Yingtian himself knows, but this kind of action really has no king's bearing." Yan Eighteen sighed.
"Speaking of which, do you have any assignments?" Qian Yunyue looked back at the others.
Seeing that everyone shook their heads, Qian Yunyue fell into deep thought, it was strange that there was no task for such a big move this time. They were gathered here by the Martial Arts Conference.,But due to a change.,Now this conference is gone.,Even the name posts that were sent to the players before have been shown to be invalid.,In that case,,It stands to reason that a new story mission should be given again.。
But if you really want to issue a task, it's really not easy to get it, the people involved this time are basically players above level 40, the number is nearly 5000 people, and now most of them have been arrested, and they can act only a few hundred people, only assign them tasks, it doesn't seem to be very reasonable, it seems that the secret behind this matter needs to be further studied.
"Lord Castle, what are we going to do after we have captured so many adventurers?" Although Huang Fu has always faithfully carried out the orders given by Ji Yingtian, the reason for this has never been understood.
"Have you heard the rumors of these adventurers?" Ji Yingtian shook the wine glass in his hand.
"I've heard a little, it is said that these adventurers are different from us, they are not the original inhabitants of the human world, they suddenly appeared out of thin air, and they are blessed by the gods and have the power to resurrect from the dead......" Huang Fu suddenly realized that immortality is the eternal dream of human beings.
"Coming back from the dead......" Ji Yingtian raised his wine glass, sighed lightly, and then drank the wine in the glass. What is the current situation of those captured adventurers? ”
"Back to the city lord, due to the medicinal effect of the drunken soul incense, nearly half of the people are still asleep, and the other people who have woken up, their subordinates have arranged for them to be transferred to the city lord's mansion and imprisoned, waiting for their fate." Huang Fu said respectfully.
"Well, you immediately go and interrogate those people yourself, and be sure to find out where they came from, what they were for, and what they ...... The secret of resurrection from the dead. Remember, the fewer people who know about it, the better. Ji Yingtian said with a solemn expression. In addition, continue to send people to hunt down those adventurers who have escaped, and must not let them escape. ”
"The subordinates understand, please rest assured that the subordinates will definitely handle this matter cautiously." Huang Fu took the order and left.
Ji Yingtian sat in his seat for a while, then got up and came to the back hall. However, this time he did not go to the ancestral hall, but came to a large house. He gently pushed the door open and walked in, only to see a huge ice bed in the room, on which lay a beautiful woman.
Ji Yingtian's expression suddenly became extremely gentle, and he stretched out his hand to caress the woman's face, "Heart...... Wait, I'll find a way to resurrect you soon. ”
"How's the antidote going?" Qian Yunyue was discussing the strategic deployment of the counterattack with Xiaolou Yeyu and others, and at this time, Feng Guanxia Yi had already arranged the defense line and returned to the house.
"More than 3,000 pieces have been produced so far, and it is estimated that it will be completed in another hour." Hanshuang put away the system panel and turned his head to look at Fengguan Xiayi, "I've already distributed some to each of you in case you need them." ”
"It's hard work, you go and rest for a while, and we'll leave it to you next." Feng Guanxia Yi nodded approvingly, Frost is really powerful, in fact, she is a little glad that Mercy Moon Allure drove Frost out of the Mercy Moon Guild at the beginning, otherwise she would not have been able to get such a shrewd and capable assistant.
"Sister Feng, come and see, we are currently planning to do so." Ye Yanyun pulled Feng Guanxia Yi to his side, "Because we haven't formed a group with other guilds, so when the time comes, the overlord world will go over to join them, and after joining the group, attack the City Lord's Mansion from the south." The three of us and Qianyunyue will go to rescue those imprisoned players, and you and Yanyu Pavilion will lead the others to kill the City Lord's Mansion directly from here. ”
"Just a few of you going to save people? That's the key over there, the players who were caught should all be locked up together, shouldn't the main battlefield be put in prison? Feng Guanxia Yi frowned, the key to this battle is to see if the rescue operation can be carried out smoothly, as long as the imprisoned players can be rescued, they will achieve half of the victory. And the prison must be heavily guarded, can it be done by just a few people?
"That's right, I've already been to the prison once with Brother Qian, and if I know the route, it should be easy to sneak in with my stealth skills and Yao Ye's enchantment. And not all players are locked up in prison, about half of them have been transferred to the City Lord's Mansion. Therefore, it is enough for a few of us to go to the prison, and if we take people away again, the pressure on this side will be even greater, and it will be up to you to distract the enemy, so that we can carry out the rescue mission more easily. Tang Shaofeng smiled.
"How do you know they've been transferred?" Feng Guanxia Yi looked at Tang Shaofeng suspiciously.
"This kid, I just said that I hadn't seen him for several hours before, but I didn't expect to sneak out, unorganized and undisciplined." Ye Yanyun snorted.
"Next time, don't do such a dangerous thing alone, you are one of the main combat forces, what if something happens, and it won't be very troublesome if you startle the snake." Feng Guanxia Yi was also a little surprised when she heard this, but she didn't expect Tang Shaofeng to secretly go to investigate the enemy situation by herself.
"It's going to be fine, I'm cautious, I'm an assassin, this kind of infiltration is professional, and this doesn't get very important information." Tang Shaofeng scratched his head embarrassedly, in fact, he was only stimulated by Qian Yunyue, and wanted to help a little more to show that young people would inevitably have a competitive heart.
"Alright, it's okay. In that case, then let's follow this plan, I don't have any opinion. ”
In the underground cell of the City Lord's Mansion, Huang Fu was torturing the adventurer, and the person who was tied up and hung up by the five flowers opposite him turned out to be an old acquaintance of Qianyunyue, the night stinger of the Shadow Martial Hall.
"Say! Where did you adventurers come from? What is the purpose? Why can you come back from the dead? Huang Fuyin smiled compassionately, "If you don't explain honestly, I'll let you taste what life is better than death." ”
"Humph! Idiot! The night stinger glanced at Huang Fu with disdain, "If you have the ability, kill me." ”
"Yo, my mouth is quite hard." Huang Fuyi whipped the Night Stinger, "Since Lord Ben knows that you can come back from the dead, of course he won't be stupid enough to kill you, but Lord Ben has a hundred ways to slowly torture you and let you know the fate of not cooperating obediently." ”
At this time, heart-rending screams kept coming from other cells, and the night stinger frowned, in this game, they only have 1% pain, and it stands to reason that even if the knife is inserted into the body, it won't hurt very much, like the whip just now, it's basically no different from tickling, so what's the scream next door.
He looked at the hideous-looking NPC in front of him, and a hint of foreboding welled up in his heart.
"Hmph, taste the power of the Dementor Pill." Huang Fu took out a spell and said something in his mouth.
The night stinger suddenly felt as if his whole body was crawling with insects, and it was extremely itchy, but his hands and feet were tied and he couldn't move, and his head began to feel dizzy, just like he was sick in real life before, a pain gradually spread, he understood, this should be poisoned or drugged, and this thing is very powerful, he gritted his teeth, and endured it or didn't say a word.
"Yo, it's a man, I want to see how long you can last." Huang Fu smiled gloomily and continued to chant the words.
The screams of the other cells echoed throughout the underground cells, and many of the players were on the verge of breaking down mentally even though they had not yet been tortured, but they were all tied hand and foot, and in this case, they could do nothing but pray.
