Chapter 652 Five Eyes, Arrangements
Cangwu: "Ash isn't that kind of person."
Mo Yuan also sent a message: "If this isn't an exaggeration, then the opponent is truly strong. So strong that ten people wouldn't even have time to react."
Shadowblade retorted, "Strong? What kind of strong individuals could the 9527 continent possibly have? Their average level is almost ten levels lower than ours."
Zhi Xi finally spoke, her voice calm and unhurried: "Shadow Blade, a low average level doesn't mean there aren't any experts. Every continent has a few top-tier fighters. It's just that the number of top-tier fighters on Continent 9527 may be less than ours, but their quality... isn't necessarily worse."
Shadowblade sent a "humph" emoji, but did not refute.
Tiegu asked again, "Cangwu, are you sure it was a player who did it? What if it was some high-level monster on the map? We've only been in the Misty Continent for less than a day, and there are many things we don't know."
uncertain.
Even the Five-Eyed Ones had never seen anything like this.
Iron Bone couldn't hold back any longer: "What do you mean? You're not even sure if it was a player who killed him? Are we going to investigate or not?"
Mo Yuan said, "Investigate. Regardless of who killed them, regardless of whether they were players or not, ten people are gone, and this matter must be clarified."
Cang Wu remained silent.
He was thinking.
The Three-Eyed Clan held an absolute advantage in the third round of the multiverse war.
They have the highest average level, the most high-end combat power, and the highest efficiency in acquiring Mist Spirits.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, they will most likely be the ultimate victors.
But an unexpected event has already occurred.
Ten people vanished without a trace. They didn't even know who their opponents were.
"Iron Bones," Cangwu sent a message in the group.
"exist."
"Go find Ash and meet him. Take your men with you. Don't scatter, stay together."
Iron Bone did not reply immediately.
After a few seconds, he asked, "And then? Find the person who killed Hanren and the others?"
"No," Cang Wu said, "Let's scout first. Find out where they come from, how many people they have, and what methods they use. Don't act rashly. If they really are the strongest fighting force on the 9527 continent, we need to find out their details first."
Tiegu thought for a moment and did not refute.
"OK."
Cangwu then tagged Moyuan: "Moyuan, you act alone. Go and scout the area near where Hanren and the others had their accident. Don't engage anyone; just identify their identities and skills."
Mo Yuan replied with a single word: "Okay."
Cangwu continued, "Zhixi, send out the hunters to expand the reconnaissance area. If the enemy is active in the north, they will be spotted by our people sooner or later. I need to find him before he gets close to our core area."
"Understood," Zhixi replied.
"Shadowblade, you stay with me in the core area. Speed up the collection of Mist Spirits. No matter how strong the opponent is, we just need to get more points than them. Points are the only standard that determines victory or defeat."
Shadowblade sent a fist emoji.
After assigning tasks to everyone, Cangwu returned to the Five Eyes group chat.
While still pondering the previous question, Tiegu sent another message: "Cangwu, do you think those people on the 9527 continent might have used some special item? Like one-time-use forbidden spell scrolls or something? Otherwise, how could ten people not even be able to send a message?"
"Possibly," Cangwu said, "but once the items are used up, they're gone. If they won using the items, they can only use them once. If they didn't win using the items—"
Cangwu didn't finish speaking.
But everyone understood what he meant.
If it's not about using props, then it's about skill.
If someone on the 9527 mainland truly possesses such power, then their previous plans will need to be completely readjusted.
"Alright." Cangwu concluded the discussion. "Everyone to your positions. Ironbone, you set off now to find Ash. The rest of you, proceed according to plan."
Tiegu replied with a single word: "Okay."
Then Ironbone opened his team channel and shouted to his subordinates:
"Let's go and join the Ashes."
......
The mist in the valley had not completely dissipated.
The furrows plowed out by the repulsive force remain on the grassland, like ten ugly scars.
The pale blue fragments had completely disappeared, along with any trace of the ten three-eyed players, slowly swallowed by the mist.
Lin Tian stood in the center of the valley, shifting his gaze from the ravines to the north.
That should be the direction the other three-eyed people went.
The projected clone then flew rapidly in that direction.
It moved so fast that even the mist didn't have time to churn.
A streak of light flashed across the sky, leaving a faint trail in the gray-white mist, disappearing in an instant.
...........
Ash, leading twenty men, was heading south along a low ridge.
They were not walking fast.
Lie Shi walked at the front, his shield slung behind his back, his hands hanging casually at his sides, looking as if he were on a picnic.
The other team members were scattered on both sides of the team, maintaining a loose defensive formation—not dense, but keeping eye contact with each other so that if a problem occurred in any direction, the others could provide immediate support.
Ash walked in the middle to the back of the group.
This wasn't because he was afraid of dying, but because this position allowed him to see the entire team's movements.
As the team leader, he needs to detect any anomalies immediately and then make a judgment.
Ever since reporting to Cangwu, Ash has felt that something is wrong.
The annihilation of Han Ren and his group of ten was unexpected, but not entirely unacceptable.
There are too many unpredictable factors in the game, such as advanced items, hidden mechanisms, and map traps, any of which can cause a team wipe.
But that feeling that something was wrong was more of an intuition.
He couldn't say what it was.
It's like walking on a familiar road and suddenly feeling that the air has changed.
I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong, but it just isn't right.
"Captain, are you still thinking about Coldblade and the others?" Crackstone turned and glanced at Ash, asking.
Ash did not deny it, and nodded.
Crackstone raised his shield slightly, turned around, and walked alongside Ash: "I think you're overthinking it. Ten people being wiped out is indeed quite eerie. But Five Eyes already knows, and they'll investigate. Our task now is to continue fighting the Mist Spirit, not to be detectives."
"I know," Ash said, "but I always feel—"
He stopped talking.
Because one of his passive skills suddenly lit up in his skill bar.
【Crisis Perception】—A-rank perception skill.
When a target that could pose a threat appears in the surrounding area, the skill will automatically trigger, giving the user a vague warning.
