Chapter 227: Chapter 195 Ambush Gemini_1

"Unceasing Trick, Wooden Clone, Life Draining..."

Mu You kept tearing page after page at the scene, then retraced time, until he had elevated all Life magic to LV3.

Just before he left, he glanced at the remaining item in the window.

It was a crystal grain the size of a rice grain, displayed in a delicate gift box.

[Image-Keeping Crystal: A product of goblin alchemy. After infusing magic power, it will record everything happening within 50 meters from a panoramic perspective. The images can be retained for up to 2 hours. Priced at 50 years of life.]

"Image keeping, huh..."

Mu You stroked his chin, this thing wasn’t too bad. It was like a magic version of a pinhole camera, free from the constraints of networks and batteries, making it very small and covert.

[You have purchased the Image-Keeping Crystal, life -40 years, remaining life 821 years.]

In the end, Mu You bought the crystal because it could be useful in the upcoming task of finding Taurus’s door.

Moreover, with this item, he could see the images seen by the game characters through the ring’s Two-World Transfer from the real world.

"Thank you for your patronage, and welcome back any time!"

With the warm bidding of the Old Cat Store Owner, Mu You left the store, returned to the wooden hut, and prepared to teleport back to the tundra.

However, before teleporting, he searched in the basement of the wooden hut and indeed found a backpack there.

This was the backpack left intentionally by the game character before entering the door. It contained all the possessions of the game character.

At this moment, there were five fish tanks full of Magic Fish species on the grass in this bag.

All 29 fish, mostly non-aggressive ornamental fish, some of them even possessed special magic effects.

Mu You organized the fish according to their sizes and raised them in different tanks to prevent the large fish from devouring the small ones.

He moved these fish tanks one by one into his backpack.

Additionally, there was a small donkey in this space. Having Chocobo, he no longer needed the donkey. But considering its long service, Mu You didn’t plan to sell or kill it. Instead, he led it into the backpack and prepared to bring it back to Earth, letting it retire in the core space.

After everything that needed to be transferred was moved, Mu You teleported back to the tundra.

At this time, Lin Xue and Little Ya were both leveling up near the door and did not venture far off.

Seeing Mu You appear, they both came back immediately.

The three of them moved the fish tanks and the donkey one by one through the door.

"Little Ya, keep an eye on the fish tanks and make sure Cola doesn’t steal any bites."

"Don’t worry, boss."

Mu You instructed Little Ya. Hearing this, Cola, who was observing their activities from the basement, immediately rolled his eyes. Who was he looking down upon? With cat food available, who would bother to eat such sticky stuff?

Mu You ignored him, went back to the door, let Lin Xue enter the backpack, then stepped on the teleportation array once again.

They had already discussed the operation. As there were too many people on the other side, it was inconvenient for Mu You to act alone, so Lin Xue was called to join him.

After a familiar dizziness, Mu You appeared next to the teleportation array outside of Haimu City.

This was a teleportation array he had left previously. Now he needed to rush to the seaside from here, then head to the location of Taurus’s door.

It took three hours to get to the seaside from here. But under Chocobo’s feet, the time was greatly shortened.

Only twenty minutes later, Mu You arrived at the seaside riding Chocobo.

Mu You fed Chocobo a carrot, sent it back to the backpack, then took out the ’Wind-Sailing Boat’ and threw it on the water, called Lin Xue out, and the two of them sailed towards the location of the door.

The wind was against them at this moment, but it didn’t matter, they had the Sea Wind Scepter, so the boat could always take advantage of the wind’s power.

With doubled speed, they quickly arrived at the predetermined location.

When they were about a mile away from the island, they got off the boat early and hid behind a distant reef to observe.

It was still early in the morning, around two o’clock. The weather was overcast, there was no moonlight, and the sea was enveloped in thick darkness, so dark they couldn’t see their hands in front of their faces.

Fortunately, both of them had completed their night vision training and could see the distant island clearly in the dark.

Lin Xue even brought a telescope, observed for a while, and shook his head, "There’s no one on the island."

"Looks like they haven’t arrived yet..."

Mu You nodded and was not surprised. The door wasn’t open until half-past ten in the morning. It would be useless for those people to come early, and staying here for too long could expose them.

"Let’s wait, we need to prepare too..."

Mu You took out his ’Storage Wine Bottle’.

There was now half a bottle of sand in it. Instead of pouring out the sand, Mu You opened the top and stuck it in the sea, ready to fill the remaining space with seawater.

The bottle began to bubble under the water. The surrounding seawater was instantly reduced a thousandfold upon getting close to the bottle’s opening, pouring in massively. Because of the fast filling, it even formed a whirlpool on the nearby sea surface, causing quite a commotion.

Luckily there was no one around. Holding the bottle in the sea for about one and a half hours, the seawater in the bottle was finally near overflowing.

But that wasn’t all. Mu You then went into the water to kill a few sea monsters, summoned them as zombie beasts, put them into the bottle, along with some seaweed. Using rapid growth, he matured it all, preparing the entire ’battlefield’.

By the time he had done all this, it was already five in the morning and dawn was approaching, but there was still no sign of those people.

"Did I guess wrong? Did they already go back through another door?"

Such suspicion inevitably arose in Mu You’s heart.

Of course, it was just a thought. He had waited so long that even if these people didn’t show up, he would definitely wait until ten o’clock.

The two of them continued to hide behind the reefs, patiently waiting.

Finally, around half past seven in the morning, there was suddenly a disturbance in the calm sea in the distance.

Three small boats came from another direction, finally stopping in front of the island. A dozen or so people disembarked, and sure enough, the twins they had seen in the swamp were leading.

Mu You had arranged reconnaissance beetles to go over early, and even put a recording crystal on the beetle. At this moment, the sounds were immediately transmitted.

The dozen people cautiously disembarked, each holding a magic wand and weapon, carefully looking around. After watching the whole round, ensuring that there were no other people on the island and in the nearby sea, they finally relaxed a bit.

"Thank you for your hard work these past few days, everyone, hold on a bit longer. In three hours, we can go home!" The twins whispered to the others.

The others sighed with relief upon hearing this. They had paid a heavy price over the last few days, moving more than a dozen teleportation arrays from the poisonous swamp all the way here. They had maintained a high level of alertness throughout the journey and were now completely exhausted.

"But the closer we are to the end, the more we can’t relax. Let’s patrol in pairs, half an hour each. The rest of you take the time to rest and recover your strength."

The twins then singled out someone from the team, "Xiao Zhao, you’re with me on the first shift. We’ll rotate in half an hour."

"Oh, okay."

The one who was selected didn’t dare slack off and immediately stood up, patrolling the small island with the twins.

The others took the opportunity to replenish their energy by eating, while some simply closed their eyes to rest. After three days of sleepless vigilance, many were exhausted.

As a patrol member, the twins were still on high alert. For some reason, after arriving on this island, he always sensed an inexplicable feeling of palpitations.

However, after patrolling along the shore repeatedly for over twenty minutes, they didn’t find anything unusual. On this windless morning, the entire ocean was as calm as a mirror.

Until half an hour passed with no anomalies, the palpitations in the twins’ minds gradually faded.

"It seems I was just on high alert..."

The twins shook their head, checked the time, and called out to his partner, "Alright, Xiao Zhao, time’s up. Let’s go back and take turns for rest."

"Oh..."

The young man known as Xiao Zhao didn’t have the same patience as the twins. Dressed in light clothes and standing on the beach in the early morning, blowing the icy sea breeze, he had long been shivering from the cold. Hearing this, he immediately returned to the island.

The twins took another look around, took a deep breath, and turned around to get some rest.

However, just as he let his guard down for the first time and turned around, a chain claw suddenly emerged from the water behind him, hooked around his back, and instantly pulled him into the water.
