Chapter 128: Friend or Foe
To be honest, the artificial intelligence in the awakening stage I was exposed to the ghasts I encountered in the qualifiers, and the creeper girl Night. I didn't make any bad impressions after coming into contact with them. Although that ghast was hostile to humans, it didn't take the initiative to attack, and it was quite kind.
But the first time we entered the map, in the desert village, a group of angry villagers almost killed our whole team, until Xiao Chen sent the north wind to relieve the siege. But the villagers rebelled because they thought we were invading, and it was understandable.
So, I have the impression that AI isn't all unreasonable demons, they have their own principles.
I slowly approached the swamp hut. According to the characteristics of "Real Mode", as long as you don't make a loud light and be heard and seen by the creature, the creature will generally not be aware of your presence.
Walking to the hut, I pulled my legs out of the water, grabbed the platform that supported the hut with both hands, and climbed up. The other teammates also approached the hut from four directions according to my deployment, forming an encirclement trend.
The swamp was very quiet, except for the sound of the water rippling after we had just come out of the water, and the sound of undried water dripping on the floor of the platform outside the hut.
But it is precisely because of the silence that the faint sound of skeletons walking in the distance can reach our ears. Obviously, the group of skeletons that had been chasing us had not yet left, and continued to track, getting closer and closer.
I took a deep breath and took a step towards the door of the swamp hut, and was about to open my mouth to speak inside, when I saw a glass bottle fly through the door in an instant!
I ducked sideways, and the splash potion hit the door frame, and the shards of glass scattered in all directions with the grass-green potion. The floor and door frames beneath my feet were stained with potion, squeaking and bubbling, and white smoke wafting up.
"Human, please turn back!" The witch's old voice came from inside the house.
Seeing this, I had no choice but to say to the inside in a gentle voice: "I have no intention of passing by, please forgive me." I don't know if it'......"
"Human, please turn back!" She interrupted me.
"We've been hunted down by the skeleton army so far, we're really cornered, and we hope we can ......" I put my posture very low.
"Turn back, swords and swords everywhere, this kind of conversation is insincere."
I saw that the ambush was seen through by her, and I was a little embarrassed, so I had to let the team members who were ambushed outside out. Chris was still afraid of a sudden attack by the witch and was reluctant to put down his sword.
The witch showed no kindness, and said to me, "Human, I am willing to talk to you only because I have a common enemy. The enemy came because of you, and it was a disaster from heaven, and you should have been blamed, but seeing that you are not arrogant, let me cooperate with you. “
"After avoiding this disaster, you and I are still enemies!"
Bet right! I felt a pang of joy in my heart. In fact, from the moment she says "please turn back", it means that there is a possibility of negotiation between the two sides. If she's really hostile, I'm afraid I'll be smashed into a soup by a potion bottle before I can open my mouth.
The reason for taking such a risky approach is that I once learned from Xiao Ya that there are many discordant camps within artificial intelligence, with conflicts of interest and even hostility to each other.
The witch is clearly not in the same camp as the skeleton that is chasing us, and if she does, then she should be here to stop us, after all, she is an artificial intelligence in the awakening stage.
Since it isn't, there are two possibilities left, which is to be hostile to the skeletons, or to remain neutral. The next part of my communication with her was to gamble that once she was on the neutral side, we would have to retreat; Once she is an adversary, we have the possibility of seeking cooperation.
However, there is only a fifty percent chance of cooperation, depending on the witch's judgment of the present form and our sincerity in seeking cooperation.
Fortunately, for now, she has temporarily agreed to the request for cooperation.
"Human, follow me. There was a tunnel where I could escape, and I couldn't open it. This path leads to the cross-border gate, through which I can follow my king. The witch walked slowly out of the house.
Looking at the way she walks with a limp, she must not be able to walk fast. We had to carry her on our backs and trot all the way to the place she had designated. Along the way, there were battles, and there were quite a few skeleton archers who caught up with us and harassed us in the rear.
In the darkness, we heard an awakened person in the pile of skeletons shouting to the witch: "Witch, you witches are in collusion with humans!" If it's really an inferior race, you should be punished!"
Wu Jie replied sharply: "The name of Clevy is not what zombies should be, but he claims to be the king of ten thousand corpses; regards the undead as an inferior species, has no republican heart, but claims to be orthodox in the 'Yuan God Kingdom'. In my opinion, you are worse than humans!"
"Bold, dare to insult the supreme realm king!" The skeleton looked very angry, "The King of the Realm has come to the Fifteenth Realm this time, and the pseudo-Wang Kui and the marrow have fled; Not only did your withered master not surrender and build the 'Yuan Shen Kingdom' with us, but instead wagged his tail and begged for mercy from humans, it was a shame for the undead! Look at you now, being carried away by humans, and you are really on par with your lackey master!"
A few of us hurried away, taking the map and marking it with the light of the torch, as if we were exploring the swamp. It was dark at night, and I couldn't see the distance clearly, so I could only pass it hastily.
But more importantly, from the battle between the two artificial intelligences, we have gathered very important information: a king named Cleeway has entered the 15th map, and the kings "Kui" and "marrow" who were originally here have run away. As for the wither king, she is the king who has the most contact with humans, so we have heard of it too.
I secretly sent the information to the command through a message, and Xiao Chen personally replied after receiving it: "You always surprise me." I thought that the artificial intelligence side did not move, and it was because it wanted to ambush us on the way we had to go, so I asked you to explore ahead first. It's good now, it turned out to be artificial intelligence infighting, haha. “
"What are you going to do? What if this is the other side acting for us to see?" I asked him.
"It's useless to act, I already have a backhand. Besides, this is exactly the same as the information we've gathered before, so it's likely to be true, so I'm going to have the army set off a day earlier. “
"Ready?"
"It's been prepared for a long time, and waiting another day is just for the results of your exploration. Now we must change our strategy, and while the zombie named Kleeway is still on a firm footing, Blitzkrieg will quickly launch a spawn point!"
"180,000 cubes, are you sure?"
"A 10-hour sprint."
10 hours to capture the spawn point of the fifteenth map of the official uniform, this task is a bit arduous, and it can only be achieved at a theoretical speed.
The skeletons in the rear couldn't shake it off, and the muddy and watery swamp affected the forward speed too much, but fortunately, the entrance to the tunnel that Wu Jie said was almost there.
