Chapter 523: Chapter 302 Decrepit Grass Temple_3

"Wait, what do you mean? Are you considering breaking off our cooperation and teaming up with another group?" The demon asks, furrowing his brows.

"Huh? Didn’t you guys stop trusting me and decide to go our separate ways? In that case, I will have to find someone else to work with!" Mu You says.

"Damn, who said we’re breaking off? We’re clearly still cooperating!" The demon is at a loss for words. After he’d been led astray by Mu You, seeing Jack made him want to ditch them, but that wasn’t going to happen so easily.

Now the three groups have come together, they are on par with each other, starting from scratch. They couldn’t afford to lag behind; they’d stick with Mu You or die trying!

"In a collaboration again? Do you trust me or not?" Mu You looks at the Son of Heaven, indicating him to make a clear statement.

"Yes, we do. Continue leading the way," the Son of Heaven indifferently replies.

"Then follow suit. And the ones on the other side, hurry up, we don’t have all day!" Walking to the front, Mu You shouted and continued running forward.

The Son of Heaven sighs, leading the members of the Divine Decree to follow suit.

Jack hesitates for a moment. Finally, he grits his teeth and also raises his arm, leading his subordinates to follow them.

At this point, he still hasn’t figured out what the relationship between these two groups is. But under the circumstances with the Son of Heaven and the Ghost Captain both present, he guesses it’s always right to follow. As long as these two find the city center, he can also discover it the first time.

Jack’s troops quietly move closer to Divine Decree. However, what greets them first is not the Son of Heaven and the Ghost Captain, but a horde of octopuses flooding from the rear.

"Damn it, what are these things?"

A swarm of octopuses rushes towards Jack and the others, who instinctively draw their weapons.

In the process, they become one of the targets of the octopuses, joining in the chase.

"Who can tell me what the hell is going on?"

Staring at the endless swarm of octopuses behind them, Jack and the others are perplexed.

Mu You remains at the forefront, leading the way. Those who are slower naturally fall into a long queue behind him, with a densely packed horde of octopuses following them. The team looks like a train with Mu You as the locomotive and the trailers clearly demarcated behind.

The only difference is that this train cannot come to a halt. Under the chasing of the swarm of octopuses, they can only keep pace with the locomotive.

Jack turns to the Son of Heaven for answers, to which he opens his mouth and eventually says, "It’s a long story."

"Then make it shorter, at least give us an explanation!" Jack is still in a state of confusion.

"Ah, never mind. Just keep following us," the demon is seen lamenting on the side.

"..." Jack is speechless and helpless.

Under the current circumstances, they can’t engage in a battle. The three parties are in a stalemate, none capable of doing anything other than sticking with the team. Now they can only wait for the situation to change.

But the leaders of all three parties are together, so they would encounter the Legacy Crystal together anyway. There is no need to worry about someone secretly getting ahead. This situation can be accepted.

With this thought, the group silently followed the locomotive, wandering in the city.

They ran for a full hour.

It is now 3 a.m., the bright moon in the sky is blocked by dark clouds, making the city even darker.

Everyone has been running behind Mu You, constantly changing direction, and they’re somewhat numb.

However, just as the team passes a street corner, those in the front spot something flying from nearby and disappearing instantly.

"Huh? Did something just fly by?"

"Was it a bug or a droplet?"

"But it seemed red"

"I don’t know, it was quite dark, didn’t see clearly...

...

There is a quiet discussion among those in the front.

Before they can reach an agreement, the Silent Captain, who has been leading the way quietly, suddenly speaks.

"Pay attention, we’re almost there!"

"Huh?"

Everyone is stunned for a few seconds before they finally react: are we close to the city center?

Instantly, everyone is alert, holding their magic wands and weapons. The two groups also quickly increase their distance, maintaining a watchful eye on each other, ready to pounce at any moment.

If the city center is indeed ahead, then the most critical moment is near.

With so many people gathered at the scene, a large-scale melee seems inevitable!

Just as the atmosphere becomes tense, led by Mu You, they cross the street corner. The scene ahead is completely revealed to everyone.

But to everyone’s surprise, all they see in the open space ahead is a broken temple.

It is a temple built of hay and rubble, covering no more than a few dozen square meters, due to weathering, the surface is already worn and tattered. It doesn’t look any different from the ordinary houses seen everywhere in the city.

"This is... the city center?"

"Doesn’t look like it..."

...

Pretty much everyone starts to doubt instinctively.

A city center of a Sky City wouldn’t necessarily be luxurious, but it should at least have a square or altar or any symbolic architecture, right?

This dilapidated temple, that looks like it could collapse at any moment, how could it be the city center? It’s more like a trap!

The Ghost Captain deliberately leads them into this trap to ambush them, and then he goes to find the city center on his own. This explanation sounds much more plausible!

Many people subconsciously started to slow down.

Regardless of everyone’s reaction, seeing the hut, Mu You sped up and rushed toward it.

He isn’t searching for the city center, but chasing after the Blood of Heart Vessels.

Arriving at this point is undoubtedly the final stage of following the blood droplets.

The heart of the Octopus King is likely to be right ahead!

Mu You takes out a blood bottle and throws out one of the few remaining drops of blood.

As expected, the blood droplet floats directly towards the temple in front.

Mu You hastily broke into a sprint, following closely behind and rushing towards the temple.

Seeing Mu You’s intense pursuit, the rest grew more suspicious. However, if they didn’t go, wouldn’t the city lord easily be stolen by the others?

Everyone is left in a dilemma, neither advancing nor retreating, and hence turned their gaze to their respective president.

Both the Son of Heaven and Jack are also feeling a bit indecisive.

Their rationality tells them that this place can’t be the city center, but their intuition is telling them that anything making the Ghost Captain react so aggressively must not be ordinary. There’s a fifty-fifty chance of it being a treasure or a trap.

However, while they were hesitating, there came cries of alarm from the rear.

"We’re in trouble, president, we can’t hold them off!"

"Hold off what?" both of them asked in unison.

"The defense line can not hold!"

"The defense line?"

"Yes, the octopuses, they’re going berserk!"
