Chapter 1105: Chapter 1105: Unbreakable from Within
"Bang! Bang!" The two struck the glass inner walls with their swords, only to find that not even a trace was left. They seemed to be trapped inside a completely sealed double-layered glass bottle with no way out, neither above nor below.
"With props separated between us and they’re too far, our props are of no use," Zhou Yuanzhu said with a serious face.
Actually, distance is not the biggest issue; rather, it’s the glass layer in between that prevents certain props from being effective, and this glass bottle prop’s level is unknown—it’s unbreakable!
"It might be a Rank-A prop." Xu Huo used the Rank-B "Eye of the Deceased" and failed to cut through the glass, "Even if it’s not a Rank-A prop, it must be a top-quality Rank-B prop. Put on your protective suits; we may not be able to get out for quite some time."
"For quite some time?" Zheng Da, standing on a tree, laughed as if he had heard a joke: "The name of this prop is ’Unbreakable from Within’; not to mention a Rank-B prop, even a Rank-A prop of the same level might not be able to open it!"
"Just wait for death inside, we have plenty of time!"
It was clear that Jiang Wenzhang and Zheng Da had already guessed that the person before was Xu Huo, who had only pretended not to coincide after coming out, waiting for this opportunity.
"At this distance, even if you are a Super Evolver, you cannot use Mental Interference to affect us," Jiang Wenzhang said confidently, "Your ability is only enough to affect others within a small range, and that too, only those with weak willpower."
The last sentence implied something about Zheng Da and Wang Mo; both were somewhat displeased, but with the enemy in front, they said nothing.
By now, the water had reached the waist of Xu Huo and his companion. Xu Huo asked Zhou Yuanzhu, "How long can your props last in the water?"
"At most half an hour..." Zhou Yuanzhu looked at him hopefully, "Do you have a way?"
Xu Huo smiled and put on the "Oxygen Supply"—half an hour was enough.
Zhou Yuanzhu saw that he was quite calm but did not take any action, which made her press down her doubts and hurriedly put her Defense Prop in place. Being trapped inside the prop, they could not attack Jiang Wenzhang and others, but neither could their adversaries harm them; both sides could only wait each other out.
In Xu Huo’s view, Jiang Wenzhang’s arrangement was actually quite good.
Knowing that Xu Huo’s strength in a solo fight might surpass any of them and that he was very likely a Psychic Evolver, maintaining distance without direct confrontation and wearing down his Defense Props through siege was a good strategy.
It was merely a waste of some time, but Zheng Da and others faced no risks at all. Given their injuries, it was quite a bargain, and this heavy rain also greatly aided them.
Of course, all this was based on the premise that "Xu Huo was merely a strong Rank-C Player with initial Super Evolution."
But appearing within his 200-meter range, the plans of Jiang Wenzhang and his crew were destined to fail.
Xu Huo had actually intended to let these people return to Xiaohe City; not to mention that he had already taken measures with Cao Zheng, Wang Mo, Zhao Xiaofang, including Zheng Da, would be excellent targets for manipulation, and could serve as Xiaohe City’s destabilizing elements from within, mitigating the pressure on his side.
However, seeing that several people seemed determined not to return home without killing him, he might as well alter his plans a bit.
The Black Rain, which had just shown signs of lessening, suddenly intensified again.
Xu Huo and his companion were now completely submerged by the black water, the rain outside ceaseless, and the water on the outer layer of the glass prop could no longer flood inward, it was instead pouring out as if threatening to submerge the entire grove.
Zheng Da wiped the rainwater off his protective mask and turned to Jiang Wenzhang to say, "Let’s wait somewhere else."
"Where isn’t there a heavy rain?" Jiang Wenzhang refused, "Besides, gathering together I fear there might be changes, it’s safest if we spread out. If that Xu guy comes out, we can both attack and defend."
Zheng Da with a look of disdain, "Do you really have to see him die so badly, what he said, could it be true?"
Jiang Wenzhang sharply raised his head to look at him, "What are you saying?"
"Didn’t you hear very clearly?" Zheng Da implied something, about the Secondary Stone they had not informed Wang Mo and the other two, splitting it two ways they already felt at a loss, let alone splitting it five ways.
"Get your head straight," in the presence of others, Jiang Wenzhang didn’t speak too explicitly and warned: "With a formidable enemy before us, if there’s an issue let’s resolve the person first, kill him and you’ll also get a share of advantages like the props."
This was clearly telling Zheng Da, whether he was lying to deceive Zheng Da, or the Secondary Stone was indeed in Xu Huo’s hands, the outcome wouldn’t change, in the end, splitting half with him would suffice.
Zheng Da was irritated but also reluctantly recognized his way of putting it.
But Cao Zheng at the side disagreed, "I proposed to return to Xiaohe City to deal with the person first, you guys didn’t agree, is there something you’re hiding from us?"
Jiang Wenzhang and Zheng Da turned their heads at the same time.
Confronted with the gazes of both men, Cao Zheng suddenly became enraged, "Jiang Wenzhang, on account of your always treating people like fools, if it weren’t for Mr. Kang covering for you, you’d have died eight hundred times over, thinking you’re really somebody!"
"I asked Zhao Xiaofang and Wang Mo, none of them picked mushrooms in the underground nest, normally the only one who likes to do this kind of thing is you, Jiang Wenzhang."
"Xu Zhi probably followed the two of you and discovered something, that’s why you two are so concerned about not letting him off, ignoring the injuries and insisting on taking the risk to kill him. Now that we have time, why not talk about any hidden agendas!"
The heavy rain washed through the forest, also cleansing the large trees around the giant glass prop, as well as the people on the trees.
The rain obscured visibility, but it could not cover the tense atmosphere. It was unclear who would strike first when an invisible blade whisked past Cao Zheng’s throat, a stream of fresh blood hardly splattered before being washed away by the rainwater, Cao Zheng furiously yelled, "Zheng Da!"
Zheng Da was not clear what happened when he saw Cao Zheng pounce towards him, immediately blocking with his defense prop, but was knocked down from the tree by the other.
The two rolled into the grove, Cao Zheng said, "Don’t think I don’t know, you and Jiang Wenzhang seemingly at odds on the surface, but in reality, you’re in cahoots!"
"Have you gone mad?" Zheng Da was astonished and enraged, "You’re attacking your own people, aren’t you afraid Mr. Kang will find out?!"
Cao Zheng laughed in extreme anger, "You really think you can kill me!"
Both sides were intent on a fight to the death, and this sudden turn of events caught Jiang Wenzhang off guard. He instinctively glanced at "Unbreakable from Within", no movement from the people inside, the grove was still the same grove, and the rain was too heavy, he was also unclear if Zheng Da had struck first...
Thinking of this, he had to turn back to stop Zheng and Cao from fighting, but as he had just jumped down from the tree, Wang Mo unexpectedly appeared right in front of him without warning!
