Chapter Thirty-Six, Face to Face
Manipulate the cobwebs to provoke two Legendary-level Awakened to fight each other, and then wait for them to fight until they finally reach the point where one is seriously injured and dying, and the other is dying, stabbing each from the back to reap the benefits of the fisherman.
It's a good idea, but it's also naΓ―ve.
If it were other more reckless trialists, they might have already started doing it by now.
However, Xiao Yan believed that if an SS-level difficulty task could be solved in such a simple way, it would be too much to underestimate the wisdom of the Awakened and the World Tree.
In this seemingly smooth choice, there must be a hidden trap, and it is this trap that will transform the entire event into a higher difficulty until it reaches a point beyond Xiao Yan's control.
Xiao Yan realized that he was facing a hidden path of murder, and any wrong choice could cause the situation in front of him to collapse quickly, and he would also fall into the bottomless abyss.
To avoid this, Xiao Yan must find the hidden trap as soon as possible, and before that, he needs to avoid conflict as much as possible.
Whether it was facing those two Legendary-level Awakened Beings, or facing Li Ruran, it was the same.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan began to issue new orders to those cobwebs through the light screen, not to let these cobwebs continue to expand, but on the contrary, he ordered the cobwebs to shrink gradually.
The sudden contraction of the cobwebs obviously caught the two Legendary Awakened Ones a little unexpected, and they cautiously began to move towards the center of the block, but Li Ruran and them, who seemed to be more cautious, did not continue to advance, and may have been standing in place and observing.
Xiao Yan carefully controlled the amplitude of the cobweb's contraction, not too fast, to avoid the sudden change from alarming the two terrible enemies in front of him.
Just like Xiao Yan was walking on thin ice, both Jack and the newly emerged Awakened were also cautious because of the existence of the other party, and any sudden and drastic changes could make these two Awakened suspicious and violent attacks.
In the end, when the cobwebs stayed at a distance of about 3 buildings from Xiao Yan's small building, a red cordon suddenly appeared on Xiao Yan's light screen, and this circle of red was extremely dazzling in the dark room.
"Lux can't retreat behind the cordon!"
"Repeat, Lux can't go back behind the cordon!"
"Lux retreats to the red cordon, and it is considered that the trialist has abandoned the mission."
"The SS-class mission is abandoned, and the trialist must bear the wrath of Yggdrasil and accept the corresponding punishment."
Xiao Yan looked at these words that suddenly appeared, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
Unlike in the past, this time the World Tree took the initiative to intervene in the mission, roughly drawing a red line, and interfering with the progress of the trialist's mission, which can only show that similar things have happened here in history.
In order to avoid a repeat of history, the World Tree had to use this prompt so that the Trialist could not go back.
This approach seems to be rude, but Xiao Yan feels a little excited, the World Tree has drawn this red line, and it has been proved that this red line is the bottom line of the World Tree on this task, in other words, there are no traps on this bottom line.
Next, it was time for Xiao Yan to resume his mission.
At this moment, the neighborhood changed again, and the two Legendary-level Awakened finally met not far from the small building.
The unexpected encounter made the two awakened people slightly stunned, and soon, Jack, who came from the east, broke the silence first.
It was a man whose face was covered by a heavy hood, he was very tall and looked full of strength, his gray coat seemed to stay in the fog outside for quite a while, the fog on it made the dress look wet, and the black leather shoes on his feet were spotless, looking out of place in this gray world.
The serial killer, who had left a great name among both the secular and the awakened, said in English to another awakened man who was standing a few meters away in English with a strong Welsh accent: "Hello, old friend, Farra from Hades, we haven't seen each other for years, and we have always been okay?" β
The Awakened One from Hades, known to Jack the Ripper as Farra, seemed more like a black mist.
Aside from the fact that there are two fixed bluish flares of light from his eyes, his body appears to have no fixed shape.
Hearing Jack's greeting, Farra replied directly, "I woke up from the grave, and then heard the anomaly here, you, who have been sealed by Yggdrasil, Jack, seem to want to change the covenant between the two of us. β
Jack shook his head and smiled, "No, Farra, it's not me who broke the covenant, it's you. β
As he spoke, he dropped a warhead at Farra's feet and said, "Look what this is?" Old friend, Eye of the Poison Wizard, there are many awakened people who can make this kind of bullet, but not me, not including the stupid Lux. β
Looking at Farla, Jack continued, "While the spell to create the Acid Poison Bullet only requires the possession of a genetically controlled bloodline, this Poison Wizard's Eye is not simply a rudimentary artifact, but an excellent bullet that inspires the hidden element. β
"Only an Awakened One with the bloodline of a creature like Garm can inflict greater damage on the Stitching Monster's body, otherwise how could a small acid poison bullet be killed by a small acid poison bullet with a huge body like the Stitching Monster?"
"The impartial arbiter, the gatekeeper of Hades, whose bloodline can cause three times the damage to filthy creatures, you should know this better than I do, so can you tell me who else in this neighborhood besides you is a genetic controller who also has the blood of Garm?"
Farra glanced down at the bullet at his feet, if Xiao Yan was here, he would definitely be able to see that this bullet was from the one he had just shot and was embedded in the wall.
Just looking, without doing anything, the acid poison bullet began to glow slightly, and these lights flickered regularly, and after a few seconds, the light dissipated, and the bullet turned into a pile of debris in an instant.
Farra turned her head to look at Xiao Lou's defense again, and the huge mental pressure made Xiao Yan's hair stand on end for a moment, as if a desolate giant beast was staring at him coldly.
"It's indeed the Eye of the Poison Wizard, and Lux seems to have an interesting kid there, but I don't think what I've said will satisfy you."
Faral's body began to flicker, and in the gray space, he was like a black flame, and the fog around him was ablated clean.
