Chapter VIII Strategic Shift
"No." At least thirteen ways to convince the other party were turned around in my mind, but Shure finally sighed, "So I'm asking now."
This is the most direct and least pleasing answer. Language skills can indeed make your words very convincing, but you also need to grasp the opportunity. Sometimes ten thousand beautiful words are not as good as a single request. At least Shuer believes that this is the time.
However……
"I'm sorry, I don't agree." Mia's tone was very cold and there was no room for negotiation.
Shuer was not angry, but just pursed his lips and looked at her silently.
"I want to know the reason, okay, I'll tell you." Mia snorted coldly and said with a stern face, "You don't think that by distributing equally by quantity, you can ensure that everyone's time to stick to the same, right?"
"Like me, alchemy specialization, the effect of alchemy potion is increased by 40%. Do you ask me to get the same amount of breath-holding potion as others?"
"The dwarf with a mouth full of nonsense, carrying at least three hundred kilograms of things on his back, needs to inhale a large amount of gas and nutrients to supply the body when running. The nutrients provided by a bottle of breath-holding potion can be supplied by others for fifteen minutes, and it can be replaced by a maximum of twelve minutes."
"The deer over there is half a human and half a tree, and it can supply gas nutrients on its own. The consumption of human form is only half of that of other people, and the shape of tree will be even smaller."
"Hey? A deer? And it turns out that I can live by basking in the sun?" Lin Jingmoriya pointed to her nose and said blankly, "Who will water me? Shuer, will you help me?"
"Hmph, don't help him change the topic, I haven't finished it yet. There is also the exposure maniac who is accustomed to the daily life, whose lungs are almost rotten, and his movements are a little bigger, as if he is about to die of breath. A bottle of breath-holding potion, it would be a miracle that she can hold on for ten minutes."
"In the end, you are yourself, Shuer, you..."
"Stop." Xiuer looked gloomy, "You did it on purpose."
"That's right."
"I took you down in order to revenge and doubt you are unwilling to share it with everyone?"
“I’ve answered correctly.”
Shuer squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Do you know the consequences of doing this?"
"Of course I know." Mia sneered a few times.
"Very good, then... sorry." Shure lowered his head and said sincerely, "I apologize for my distrust in you."
Last night, no, it should be said that the thoughts that lingered in my mind countless times emerged again over the years.
If we could do it again, would we still be this far? My sister.
Why can't you trust me more? Why can't I trust you more? In that way, can't we live together happily forever?
Shuer found that his old habit seemed to have been broken again. On the surface, he valued other people's ideas, but in fact he did not trust anyone around him. He used seemingly attentive suspicion to carve a deep scar on each other's trust.
Isn’t it good to trust your friends, partners, relatives, and lovers?
"I'm very sorry, I'm wrong and I've taken you underestimated."
"Hmph." Mia turned her head and looked at the sea of flowers in the distance and said coldly, "Since you apologized so sincerely, I will forgivate you this time."
"Eh?" Lin Jing blinked and muttered in confusion, "Is this the unique elves of Zhongshan who are not right?"
"Go to bask in your sun, you tree." Mia glared at the unknown Lin Jing.
"Everyone hand over the breath-holding potion to Mia, and she will allocate it according to the time." Ignoring the small movements of the two women, Shuer had already put away his sigh and became serious again, "Sasa, have you calculated it."
"It's out, but I'm still checking it. I think..." The female swordsman was still so worried that the result would be wrong.
"I said that you don't need to verify it. If you can calculate it wrong, then no one can calculate it right. Report the results now and don't waste time."
"Yes, the map has been marked." The timid female swordsman was scolded in public, even if she was acquaintance, and the timid female swordsman was so embarrassed that she didn't dare to look up. However, even though she was scolded, the girl's mouth had a sweet smile of peace and obediently handed over the paper.
It was a hand-drawn terrain outline with messy and auxiliary lines everywhere, but the long-term cooperation allowed Shuer to understand the meaning only by just a glance.
The so-called range of projection in another world does not refer to the specific area of the projection, but the range where shadow-seekers can move safely. Once they exceed this range and touch the invisible boundary, they will be pulled into the endless void, and they will be annihilated from the body to the soul, and there is no possibility of being spared.
What Saf drew was the measured safety range, marked with seven red dots.
If there is no qualified projection energy surveyor, these can only be relied on energy sensing. Once an error occurs, you may die due to crossing the boundary. This shows the importance of energy surveyors in the team.
"Seven points of departure, the nearest direction of the northwest thirty degrees." Shuer frowned, pondered for two seconds, and shook his head, "Don't go northwest, go northeast, go to this point, and visually... more than 40 kilometers."
Shuer's choice is the third closest departure point, and this choice is expected by his teammates.
If you choose the closest one, less than thirty kilometers, it is indeed much safer. But the problem is that the shadow chasers are not here to travel. Their purpose is to explore treasures, and it is meaningless to go around and walk around.
"Target, the northeastern mountain range, Mobak, confirm."
"No problem, from the appearance, you can see that the main body of those mountains is rock, and there are even rocks directly exposed to the surface." The dwarf is a natural mineral expert and geological expert, and Mobak is one of the best.
"Very good. After reaching the target, Mobak and Mia opened up a space for the mountain. For specific questions, seal the entrance of the cave and discuss slowly. The first step is to arrive at the mountain. Do you have any questions?"
Of course there is no doubt. If you are forced to escape from the projection so simply, it would be too embarrassing. You must find a way to overcome the difficulties.
"Militi, Mia is with you, you are responsible for it, the same."
The Necromancer has already wrapped herself tightly. Of course, it is not a white cloth that wraps herself like a real mummy. It is a waste of fabric and time. From the beginning, she put on the mage robe shared by the elf mage. Although it has always been called Mia flat-breasted, it is only for her. In fact, except for the slightly tight breasts on her chest, the mage robe is still very suitable.
Hearing the order, the necromancer made an obvious gesture, took out a large pocket and shook it hard, and with a thud, a large number of bones fell from it, piled up on the ground, and he was chanting spells around the pile of bones.
"Maca Jaylen, tell the time."
"Report the time? Oh, by the way." The halfling took out a pocket watch that he had stolen from some ancient ruins and said, "Sixteen minutes, it has been sixteen minutes since the idiot dwarf entered now."
"Very good, the time is just right." Shuer nodded, "Sasa, confirm."
"Confirmation is completed, the entrance is closed." Saf fiddled with the machinery at his feet for a few times and said affirmatively, "The hidden danger has been eliminated."
One of the characteristics of projection in another world is that when a wise creature passes through the entry point, the fluctuations of the higher souls will interfere with the already unstable entrance. After five to fifteen minutes, the entrance will disappear, and no one can enter this projection space again.
Therefore, experienced shadow chasingers will be very cautious when chasing shadows. As long as they do not encounter a crisis of death as soon as they enter the door, they will definitely guard the entrance for fifteen minutes to ensure that no malicious people follow. Until the entrance is closed, the shadow chasingers will completely relieve their worries before they start taking action.
The time when he accidentally entered the projection world and met Lisa, Shuer was able to successfully attack and killed one of the three powerful enemies with fighting spirit, laying the foundation for the final tragic victory. He took advantage of the opportunities created by the three people who believed that no one else would appear in the projection world, so he relaxed his vigilance.
"A perfect start, well, except for these plants." Shuer said with satisfaction. "For the last chance before the action, make sure everything is ready, the potion is complete, and the body is tightly wrapped. Give everyone thirty seconds to check."
"Once the strategic transfer begins, the team will not stop or even slow down. So, if anyone has problems on the road due to insufficient preparation, don't blame everyone for leaving you behind. Remember, no one is obliged to cure your own irresponsibleness."
Although Shuer was talking to everyone, his eyes were always on Marca Jaylen.
The young halfling never cared about anything, but now he felt a sense of fear. In his eyes, when he first participated in Zhuying, when he entered the projection space, Shuer seemed to have become a different person, harsh, cold, and merciless. This was the first time he had seen such a captain.
However, he also understood that Shuer's change was necessary. In the projection of another world, the situation changed rapidly and crises were everywhere. Only by becoming so direct and efficient can we be responsible for the entire team.
"It seems that everything is ready." Thirty seconds later, Shuer nodded, "Militi, I'll give you another thirty seconds, it's enough."
"Enough." The magic circle of the undead mage had been completed and the spell was ready. He immediately squatted down on the spot when he heard this, and slapped his hands heavily into the magic circle.
"Life has passed, the soul returns to the sea of darkness, and instinct is bound to the remains of my body. In the name of me, Militi, it awakens the instinct of the dead who sleeps in the bones and serves for me."
With the final spell guide word, a rich dark energy suddenly burst out from the magic circle, and a large amount of black mist surged out of the magic circle, obscuring people's sight.
In the black fog, there was only the sound of bone collisions making, but in everyone's heart, it seemed that a loud neigh of a horse came from the fog.
"Dark creatures, please obey the power of darkness." A loud chant of the ending spell was chanted, and the thick black fog in the magic circle suddenly disappeared, and all of them were put into Militi's body.
In the restored sight, two tall headless skeleton horses stood on both sides of Militi, one left and one right. The tall and mighty skeleton war horses kept digging the ground with their horse's hooves, as if they were extremely eager to gallop on the ground again.
Needless to say, the two mages have floated up at the same time and each rode a skeleton horse.
Chapter completed!
