Chapter Forty-Eight: A Surprising Conjecture
"What do you want to say?" Yenifa looked cautious, realizing that Ketra might have thought of something he hadn't realized. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"At first, I just thought that the dead face tree I met was a little strange, and I didn't think about it that much, but now, I feel that things are getting more and more wrong......" Ketra's face was solemn, and her eyes were as heavy as mercury.
"The Dead Face Tree is supposed to be active in the inner layer of the swamp where there are many magic creatures, and the place where we landed is the junction of the inner layer and the outer layer, and when I met the Dead Face Tree, it had already entered the outer layer, don't you think it's strange?"
Yenifa fell silent, this phenomenon is indeed a bit abnormal, although the Dead Face Tree is a tree, it can move through a strong root system, but the movement speed is very pathetic, the Dead Face Tree has traveled a long distance from the inner layer of the swamp to the outer layer, it is really incomprehensible.
"I don't know why, but I've always had a gut feeling that the Deadface Tree was there to deal with me, and to do so, he didn't hesitate to travel to the outer layers to kill me at any cost. Ketra said.
"Won't you...... You're just too sensitive, and although your women's intuition is sometimes very sensitive, it's a bit too ridiculous...... "Yenifa tried his best to express his meaning tactfully, in fact, what he really wanted to say was who you thought you were, how could He De let people travel long distances just to kill you, how much energy does it take for people to come all the way from the inner layer, and deal with you in place?"
"Hehe, I'm starting to feel like I'm being overly sensitive...... But after meeting you, I was convinced of my thoughts......" Ketra clearly heard the subtext of Yenifah, but she just smiled, "Don't you think what happened to you is also strange?"
"My business?" Yenifa thought about it carefully, don't say it, there are really a lot of points and unreasonable.
"In order to hunt you down, the snake girl grass did not hesitate to expend a lot of magical energy, controlled dozens of different poisonous snakes, totaling more than thousands, and then expelled a large area of other creatures, and set up a huge battle to hunt you down, endlessly...... Don't you think it's abnormal?"
In fact, Yenifa himself had this abnormal feeling in his heart for a long time, but at that time, he was being chased by countless poisonous snakes on the ass, and the ghost was not gone, no matter how he shook it, he couldn't shake it off, and he scared Yenifa enough to choke, so he ignored these abnormal phenomena.
Now that it was pointed out by Ketra, Yenifa immediately reacted!
Nima, just in order to chase me, dispatched thousands of poisonous snakes, forming layers of snake net encirclement, expelling creatures in a large area, launching a dragnet search, and not caring about the number of poisonous snakes that were constantly killed and injured by Yenifa, and chasing after them regardless of losses, what the hell is it trying to do?!
"You're not even a junior apprentice, and you're probably about the same as a knight when you're full of combat power, how can He De let the snake girl grass pay so much attention to it, and don't hesitate to spend a lot of magic energy to put on such a big formation, is it just to suck your soul? It is estimated that your soul can't make up for the consumed magic energy, so what is it for?"
Yenifa stopped talking, his situation was exactly the same as Kaitra's, no matter how hungry and thirsty the Dead Face Tree was, he wouldn't go so far to deal with a Kaitra who wasn't even an apprentice, and the snake girl grass was not a fool, chasing and killing Yenifa was obviously a loss-making business, why was he still chasing and killing so recklessly?
"What are you trying to say? Do you mean there's a mastermind behind this?" Yenifa reacted quickly, and he immediately realized what was behind the anomaly.
"Behind the scenes?" Ketra shook her head, "It's not the mastermind behind the scenes, I have reason to be sure that all this was promoted by the family behind the scenes, and it was the deliberate promotion of the family that led to my 'chance encounter' with the Deadface Tree, and it was also under the manipulation of the family that the snake girl grass launched a hunt for you at any cost!"
As soon as these words came out, Yenifa was stunned on the spot, if there was a mirror, he should be able to see his big mouth that could swallow an egg raw.
"But why? Why did the family do this? According to what you said, is it just to create difficulties for us and train us by pushing all this behind the scenes? I don't think so, it doesn't seem like it's going to train us at all, and if I hadn't had your help, my soul would have been drained by now......" Yenifa shook his head silently, completely disagreeing with Ketra's bold speculation.
Ketra did explain very calmly: "You are wrong, the family secretly facilitated all this, and it doesn't feel like it's deliberately trying to make things difficult for us, it's a bit like ...... A kind of urging, a kind of persecution!"
"Urging, persecuting, urging what, persecuting what?" Yenifa felt more and more confused.
"Urge us to end the assessment as soon as possible!Forcing us to fight each other!" Ketra became excited, and her tone became a little urgent, "The family is using this method to create danger for us, make us feel a sense of urgency, and thus speed up the process of eliminating each other!"
"Wait a minute, wait a minute...... What are you trying to say?please forgive me for not being able to keep up with you and thinking ......" Yenifa quickly waved his hand to interrupt Ketra's words, he was now confused, and he couldn't figure out what Ketra meant.
"I'll tell you this," Ketra said, after sorting out her words, deliberately slowing down her speech, "Do you remember how close we were when we were dropped by the Large-Billed Pelican? ”
"Yes, I found Clark at that time and eliminated him. Yenifa said.
"Clark?!You actually eliminated Clark as soon as you came up?!" This time it was Ketra's turn to be a little surprised, she really didn't expect Yenifa to be so violent, and she fought with people at the beginning of the assessment, and eliminated the other party.
"That's not the point, and then what's wrong with being so close?"
"Since the family is going to train us, but they gave us food for three days, and then they deliberately put us very close, and you can see the approximate landing location of other people in the blowholes of the large-billed pelican, what do you think of when these three are connected?" Ketra counted on his fingers.
"Oh, I've thought of this, and the clan is probably doing this to encourage us to fight each other and plunder the food of the losers, so that we don't have to worry about food for the next few days. Yenifa nodded, he had already understood this conclusion.
"Yes, and each person's food is exactly three days' worth of food! That means that if you defeat the others on the first day, you can survive seven days, and on the second day you have to defeat two people, and on the third day you have to defeat six people to make up your life, and the family is encouraging us to have a big fight on the first day!"
"But our actions didn't go as the family thought, except for you and Clark who fought, the multi-person scuffle they expected didn't start, so the family had to take action to promote the process......," Ketra said slowly, and Yenifa suddenly reacted at once.
"You mean, the family deliberately let those difficult magical creatures attack us, just to make us feel a sense of worry and urgency, because no one dares to guarantee whether they will be able to save their lives when they are attacked by magical creatures next time, so driven by this emotion, we will desperately want to eliminate everyone else, so that the assessment ends early......"
A hint of clarity flashed in Yenif's eyes: "It turns out that the fundamental purpose of the family is not to let us survive for seven days or anything, they want us to fight in chaos from the beginning, fight together, and finally decide the winner!"
"But since the family wants us to fight each other, why is it so troublesome, wouldn't it be better to throw it directly into the arena......" Yenifa showed a puzzled expression after finishing speaking.
"In the arena, where is there a better way to train people in the jungle? In actual combat, it is not like the arena, the changing temperature, the weather, all kinds of troublesome terrain, and endless accidents can not be exercised in the arena. Ketra explained.
Yenifa nodded, all these anomalies, all the doubts, can be explained in the face of this conjecture.
Deliberately put them together, deliberately gave out a lot of food to each person, and then manipulated the magical creatures to constantly pressure them, forcing them to "fight in a team" to determine the winner, what survives in the Earl Swamp for a week, it is all bluffing them, and the family wishes that they would be in a battle as soon as they land!
"I'll tell you another bad news......" Seeing that Yenifa had already grasped his guess, Ketra decided to tell him a piece of information.
"What's the news?" asked Yenifa.
"Before I rode the Largemouth Pelican, I kept an eye out for the second group of people, who were sneaking up on each other to mark each other, so they could assemble as quickly as possible!"
Yenifa looked awe-inspired, this is really not good news, their first group has now met Kaitra and Yenifa by chance, and the second group has the help of positioning marks, it must be gathered at the first time, if the family wants them to fight each other, then the second group must have a huge advantage in holding together!
"It's good that you eliminated Clark in the first place, so now there are only three of them, and if it's four, we probably won't be able to beat them at all. Ketra's expression was also very serious, "But although they only have three people left, they still have a numerical advantage in the face of us, we must find Roy or Ella as soon as possible!
"I see......" Yenifa couldn't help but feel strange as he looked at Ketra's shrewd and capable appearance.
I didn't expect to read so many books, but when it came to the actual combat link, I couldn't compare to Kaitra at all...... A sense of helplessness welled up in Yenifa's heart.
Ketra not only discovered the subtle clues that he didn't find, but also opened his eyes to the ability to analyze and process intelligence, not to mention anything else, just say what they discussed just now, if it wasn't for Ketra taking the initiative to bring it up, Yenifa probably wouldn't have thought of it.
"It seems that I have really been stupid in reading books in the past few years...... Sure enough, practice can produce true knowledge, and the ancients did not deceive me!" "Yenifa is not the kind of person who is easily attacked, and it is the consistent merit of Yenifa to learn lessons, self-reflect, and finally correct defects.
