Chapter 532: Chewing Demon Island (38)
When Feng Buyi returned to the exit of Yongdao, the silkworm mother was gone, and Uncle Waste Chai was nowhere to be found.
Looking up, the wire mesh they had cut just now had been restored to its original state, which can be seen if you look closely...... The broken parts were filled with fresh, lighter-colored new silk.
"What's going on...... Feng Bujue muttered, "Have you been arrested?" He glanced at the game menu again, and in the team column, Uncle Wastewood's status was still [Survival], "Or did you escape by yourself......?"
As he pondered, Brother Jue began to survey the details of his surroundings, his gaze first stopped on the corpse of the Butterfly Queen, and muttered, "I haven't moved at all......" Then, he raised his eyes to scan the nearby crystal pillar, "The damage on the crystal pillar is also the same as when we left......
"Hmm...... It doesn't look like there's been a fierce battle. Feng Bujue touched his chin and said, "Sure enough, was he accused......?"
Suddenly, Brother Jue saw something again, he immediately took a few steps forward and squatted down: "This cigarette butt ......" He picked up a cigarette butt on the ground and took it in his hand to examine it carefully, "This is undoubtedly left by Uncle Waste Firewood, assuming ...... As soon as we left, he lit the cigarette and used words to talk to the boss, so ...... According to Cheng Dù, after about two minutes, the smoke fell to the ground. ”
"But ......" Feng Bujue put down the cigarette butt and stood up, "The time when Honghu and their 'accused' was about five minutes after running. Could it be ......," he looked up at the silk mesh in the sky again...... Could it be that this boss's ability to use silk to 'remote' others will cause a certain delay due to the distance? ”
"Hey! You okay? At this moment, a whimsical shout came.
Feng Bujue turned his head to look and found that Brother Xiaoma, Jibu and Honghu had also run over.
"Aren't you taking a little more rest?" Brother Jue asked calmly.
"How can a hero make someone in trouble wait?" Imagination replied loudly.
I have to say, this guy is really good. I only faced the crisis of zero fitness a few minutes ago, and now I look energetic again.
"Huh...... Haa......" The trace is the same as before, and it gasps non-stop when it stops. "I'd rather fight than run a long sprint back and forth!"
"Has Uncle Waste Wood been arrested?" Honghu was sweating profusely. But he can barely stay on track. His ability to think was not affected, so as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked a more constructive question, "You have already observed the scene, have you any conclusions?" ”
"Eighty percent was kidnapped by the boss." Feng Bujue shrugged his shoulders and said, "Anyway, judging from the team column, 'death' is a situation that can be directly ruled out." ”
"Then there are two percent that may be ......," Honghu asked tentatively, holding his glasses. …… Uncle Waste Chai escaped from the boss's control with his own strength, but he didn't know where to go at the moment? ”
"Yes." Feng Bujue replied, "If it is replaced by someone else, there is no probability of these two percent." But Uncle Waste Wood ...... It can be done. ”
"Hmm~ Well, that sunglasses guy is unfathomable." Imaginative, thoughtful, nodding in response.
"Whew...... So what do we do now? Traces finally cleared their breath and said, "Go to him?" ”
"Of course." The imagination immediately replied, "How can a righteous hero abandon his partner? ”
"First of all. I'm not a hero. "Secondly, at least in the game, I belong to the evil camp properly......" he licked his lips, "but ...... Considering that the new main quest never appeared. We don't seem to have anything else to do other than look for Uncle Scrapwood. ”
"Eh~" At this time, the trace department seemed to suddenly think of something, and interjected, "Do you think Uncle Waste Wood has escaped back to Yongdao?" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone instinctively turned their heads to look at the exit of Yongdao.
"Don't you say it...... In a hurry, this is really possible. Honghu said.
"If that's the case, he probably won't run very far." Feng Bujue said, and walked to the Yongdao, "Because it is impossible for the giant silkworm to chase in, Uncle Waste Chai only needs to stay close to the exit, and wait for the boss to leave before coming out." ”
[Warning, the front is filled with the energy of the defensive circle.] 】
Brother Jue had just walked to the exit of the road, and before he could take a step inside, the system prompt sounded.
"Okay...... It seems that this assumption can be ruled out. Feng Bujue immediately turned around and told his teammates about the situation.
Everyone also came to try it, and each heard the system prompt.
"This confirms our previous suspicions." Feng Bujue said, "The last main quest didn't mention 'obliteration', that's the reason. If we don't come out of the corridor by the time limit of the mission, the defensive circle will be activated, and then the team will be wiped out......"
"Well......," Honghu continued, "at least we're sure that Uncle Waste Chai is still in this crystal maze, and we're sure ...... There is no turning back. ”
【Main Quest Updated】
【Side quest triggered】
Just as the four of them were discussing the next direction of action, the task prompt suddenly came, and there were two of them.
They opened the game menu one after another and looked at the quest bar, and the new main and side quests were: [Arrive at the Desperate Cage] and [Arrive at the Silkworm Mother's Nest and rescue Uncle Waste before he dies (or leaves the script for other reasons)]
"Hey...... This time, there are no restrictions on the main quest......" Traces said, "Not only did I not mention 'erasure', but I didn't even give the 'time limit'?" ”
"Huh...... Looks a lot easier, doesn't it? Feng Bujue said with a wry smile, "But think about it...... This is the cheat! ”
"That's right, time constraints are not only a limitation, but also a hint." "We can take the time limit from the system...... Infer the approximate distance between the mission objective and oneself, and the average time it takes to handle the task. He paused for a second and swallowed, "And the current main quest is equivalent to no hints, just a simple sentence...... This is much more difficult than the previous ones. ”
"Let's not study the main line yet." Imagination interjected, "Rescuing the righteous partners is the top priority!" ”
"Ah...... That's right, let's think about the side lines first. Feng Bujue read weakly, "Now that the system has told us about Uncle Wastewood's situation, judging from the content of the task, I'm afraid he won't last long...... "RU."
