Chapter 290 The Walking Brain
【Edward Jack: Don't, buddy! 】
[Edward Jack: You must not post anything. If you post a post, too many people will know about your detention, and it is more likely to spread to the ears of the octopus king. When the time comes, you will not be able to save you. Is it more difficult? 】
【Lamplighter: Then what do you think should be done? 】
【Edward Jack: Leave it to me, I promise to find a way to rescue you! 】
【Lamplighter: Then... I will leave it to you. 】
【Lamplighter: In addition, in case no one comes to rescue me, or you leave after gathering the fragments, I will not take out these fragments easily in the future. I will only take them out after seeing the person who came to rescue me. 】
Muyou added an additional restriction.
【Edward Jack: No problem, wait for my good news! 】
The other party agreed but was very straightforward.
【Lamplighter: That's good! When I get out of prison, I will treat you to dinner when I have time! 】
【Edward Jack: Haha, it’s easy to talk, that’s it, see you later. 】
【Lamplighter: See you later. 】
…
"Oh shit…"
On the other side of the southern island, Jack ended the private chat in the game, cursing non-stop.
Unexpectedly, this little man who was once regarded as a spare tire by him is quite shrewd in doing things. It doesn't matter whether he is really in prison or not. Do not take out the pieces!
In this way, even if all the other fragment holders gather outside, without his fragment, they will not be able to collect nine fragments, and thus cannot open the entrance of Dawn City. This is obviously forcing others to save him.
As for the method for the other party to hide the fragments, it is also very simple. Just extract the fragments to reality, give them to a friend you know, let the other party store them in the game, and then let the other party go offline, so that the fragments will always be in an unobservable collapse State, absolutely safe.
"Boss Jack, are we really going to save people?" A pirate subordinate next to him asked at this time.
"No, save me!"
Jack cursed secretly and shook his head. The undersea prison is under the eyes of the octopus king, and running there to help people escape from prison is really impatient to live.
What's more, the submarine prison is known as the most secure prison in history. Since its establishment, no one has ever escaped. How can it be said that you can escape from prison?
"If you don't go, what about his fragment?" asked the subordinate.
The opponent’s condition is also very clear, if no one comes to save him, his fragments will not be taken out, then Dawn City will never be opened, let alone other cities. This condition is extremely rogue, and it is simply putting personal interests above the entire human race.
Of course, they also have to admit that if the situation changed for them, they would probably raise similar conditions. After all, no one wants to be imprisoned for a hundred years. come out.
"It's very simple, tell the emperor about it. Anyway, he is the one who wants Fragment 2, and he is the one who wants the entrance of Dawn City to be opened the most. Let him have a headache, let's sit back and enjoy his achievements..." Jack sneered.
Tianzi, as the force with the most fragments on the surface and the greatest advantage, is also the one that cannot afford to lose. He will never allow the opening of Dawn City to fail due to the lack of a certain fragment.
After learning about this, he had to go if he didn't!
"Tell the emperor, what if he finally got the fragment?" The subordinates were worried.
"Just kidding, you underestimate the octopus king and the submarine prison too much. If the emperor can really rescue people through a visit to the prison, then he has the ability. So what if I hand over Dawn City?"
Jack disdainfully said: "However, it is more likely that the Son of Heaven will attract the hatred of the Octopus King because of this incident. It would be great if the Son of Heaven and the King of Octopus can pinch each other. Let's find the opportunity to backstab and say It might be possible to **** a fragment from the hands of the emperor..."
Jack quickly planned the entire chess board in his mind, and without wasting time, he immediately contacted the emperor during the game.
【Edward Jack: Son of Heaven, please reply quickly, there is something important to discuss. 】
【Son of Heaven: Say. 】
The Son of Heaven happened to be online, and replied concisely.
【Edward Jack: One of my collaborators is trapped on the fourth floor of the submarine prison! 】
【Son of Heaven:? 】
【Son of Heaven: Do you mean... the fragment holder? 】
【Edward Jack: Of course, the fragment in his hand is number two, and now he asks us to rescue him, and he will not take out the fragment until he sees us appearing...】
Jack also described the matter as concisely as possible.
【Son of Heaven: What are you going to do? 】
【Edward Jack: I don’t know, didn’t you always want this fragment? I'm not really interested. 】
【Edward Jack: In short, this is the situation now, you can figure it out, and let me know if you make a decision. 】
After speaking, Jack cut off the private chat without giving the emperor time to think.
At this time, in a building in Europe.
"What do you think?"
The Son of Heaven threw the phone on the table, waiting for others to discuss.
"It's too fake. Everyone knows where the submarine prison is. How could someone be so stupid as to rob the prison!" the devil sneered.
"That's right, and what happened to be the second fragment we need, it's a trap no matter how you look at it!" Smiling and frowning.
"Is it a trap..."
The emperor was noncommittal about this, tapped his fingers on the table, and ordered: "First send someone to take the fragments to verify the authenticity, and the Dragon Knight Pirates, also go to inquire about the news..."
With an order, everyone started working one after another.
There are so many people in the Sea of Evil Spirits now that the divine right of kings is granted, so it is not difficult to verify the information.
An hour later, the message will be sent back.
"President, the fragments have been verified. There is indeed a map fragment in the submarine prison, but I am not sure what number it is."
"President, according to the information obtained by the Dragon Rider Pirates, their son was imprisoned on the fourth floor of the prison last week. The reason was that the man burned down the casino of the Octopus King, and the Dragon Rider Pirates were indeed killed. There is a reward offered, and I want to secretly help him escape from prison, and the reward is a dragon-training stone..."
The transmission of two consecutive verification messages stunned everyone present.
"Could it be that what Jack said is true?" The smile was a little inconceivable.
"But if it's true, why did Jack tell us? Isn't this giving us a chance?" The devil frowned.
"It's very simple, because he wants us to have conflicts with the Octopus King, and the other party doesn't need Fragment 2. He can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. Telling us this news will only benefit him, and there will be no harm." Son of Heaven Calm analysis.
"Then shall we...go?" He hesitated with a smile.
"Go! Because of the restriction that 'you can't gather the fragments unless you save people', we can only go. After all, we are the side with the greatest advantage now, and we are also the side that most hopes for a quick solution. We must come forward when encountering such a thing, otherwise Others will not come forward, and if the delay continues, it will be more and more unfavorable to us."
The emperor said: "Of course, visiting the prison does not mean robbing the prison. Remember, our purpose is to gather the nine fragments. When we meet that person, we can trick him into taking out the fragments with some tricks." , as long as the fragments are together and the entrance is opened, we will retreat immediately. As for the No. 2 fragment, it is best if we can buy it from the other party or come over. If not, it doesn’t matter. Even without this fragment, we still have the advantage The biggest party!"
"Then we... promise Jack?" asked with a smile uncertainly.
"Promise, and it might be a good thing to set the location of the debris collection in the submarine prison: just because the submarine prison is the territory of the octopus king, it is right under the eyes of the octopus king, no one can play tricks here, he Jack No matter how powerful you are, it is impossible to bribe the Octopus King, that is to say, the submarine prison is the safest and fairest meeting place for everyone.”
After the analysis, the Son of Heaven seemed to be convinced even himself.
Turned on the phone, and informed Jack of the decision to set the meeting place at the submarine prison.
【Edward Jack: We met in the submarine prison... There is no problem on my side, but there is also the ghost captain master who is also involved, what does he say? 】
【Edward Jack: Okay, then I will leave it to you. 】
After hanging up the private chat with Jack, the emperor immediately found out the friend of "Captain Ghost".
【Son of Heaven: There have been some emergencies. The meeting point of the debris is tentatively scheduled to be on the fourth floor of the submarine prison...】
【Captain Ghost:? ? ? 】
【Captain Ghost: What trap did you set in the submarine prison? 】
【Son of Heaven: Absolutely nothing! The cause this time is that something happened to Jack...]
The Son of Heaven, Barabara, explained the cause and effect quickly.
【Son of Heaven: This is the specific situation. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Jack yourself. 】
【Captain Ghost: Helping people escape from prison and being imprisoned... This sounds ridiculous! 】
【Son of Heaven: Yes, we also think it’s fake, but it’s the truth. In addition, there are actually some advantages to arranging the meeting place in a submarine prison...】
The Son of Heaven analyzed the advantages of the submarine prison again, with clear arguments and rigorous logic.
【Captain Ghost: What you said makes sense, so be it. 】
【Son of Heaven: In terms of time, do you have any requirements? 】
【Captain Ghost: As for the time, the local time shall prevail. On the 26th, at 8:00 p.m., everyone will enter the submarine prison and start meeting, how about it? 】
【Son of Heaven: Yes. 】
【Son of Heaven: Please be sure to arrive on time. 】
【Captain Ghost: Don’t worry. 】
After closing the private chat, Mu You breathed a sigh of relief.
In this way, the meeting place was successfully guided to a relatively favorable position for him.
The visiting area of the submarine prison only has the first, second and fourth floors, and each person has only one opportunity to visit the prison per year, and at the same time, a high visiting fee for a 100-year lifespan is required.
But this little expense is definitely nothing to people like Emperor Jack.
When he came back to his senses, Mu You didn't have much time to pay attention to the fragments, but hurriedly focused his attention back on the game.
He had been catching mana wyrms in the Sunshine Forest just now, and just when the emperor sent a private message, a text popped up on his game interface that surprised him.
【Jack-o-lantern effects, trigger! 】
【Under the cyan glow of the pumpkin lantern, you can see some strange scratches on the golden-red mud under your feet. These are not animal footprints, but more like irregular marks drawn by plants such as branches. 】
"Branch marks? Treant? Small sapling?"
Mu You frowned. He knew that there were many small treants living in the Sunlight Forest, but they were only active during the day.
And if it is just an ordinary treant, it shouldn't be specially reminded by the jack-o-lantern. After all, there are similar traces of branches everywhere in this forest.
No matter what it is, Mu You decides to chase after it and have a look.
【You followed the traces and searched all the way, and finally came to a bush. 】
【Through the gap in the bushes, you saw a strange-looking figure. 】
[It was a slender treant with a height of about fifteen centimeters, but compared to its thin torso, the upper part of its head was a cortical hemisphere composed of folds and ravines, making it look serious Top-heavy, looks like a 'walking brain'. 】
【At this moment, the treant with the 'brain' on his head is picking leaves on the muddy ground, stuffing them into his mouth one by one to taste. 】
【Omniscient Crystal has fed back the other party’s information for you. 】
[Wisdom tree: a special treant plant with super high intelligence. It is only active at night. When it is moving, its body is fragile and its courage is extremely small. Once a large creature approaches or attacks too suddenly, it will cause it to faint and die on the spot. die.
When it is rooted, it will turn back to an ordinary plant, and its survivability will be greatly increased, but it will lose its wisdom, and it will produce a wisdom fruit every day. 】
wisdom Tree!
Mu You's eyes lit up.
This thing, others may not have heard of it, but as a potion master, he is very impressive!
As early as when he first started learning potions, he had seen detailed descriptions of this creature in Vivienne's books, and it was one of the most important creatures mentioned.
The "wisdom fruit" produced by the wisdom tree can be used to make a variety of important potions, such as potions of wisdom, potions of memory and so on.
But the most important and well-known one is the 'sense potion': after taking it, it can double the comprehension ability for a period of time. The progress will be doubled!
The rarity of this thing is unquestionable. Although it is not as precious as a unicorn, it is at least at the level of a mandrake, enough to become a treasure of the store.
This kind of thing must not be let go when it encounters Mu You, and he will catch it decisively.
Mu You first manipulated the characters to set up a circle of traps around them, and then appeared to pursue them.
【The Wisdom Tree discovered your existence, saw you rushing towards it, and immediately began to run away in panic. 】
【Wisdom Tree walks lightly over your trap with a zigzagging pace, with just the right point of focus, so that it doesn't trigger any traps...】
This thing really lived up to its reputation, and the traps were completely useless against it, and it was all seen through at a glance.
Next, Mu You tried to capture the opponent with teleportation and chain claws.
The results also ended in failure. It's not that he can't catch it, but because the other party is too timid, so timid that Mu You just teleports to the other party's side, and it will lie dead directly.
The meaning of "lying dead" here is not to pretend to be dead, but to be really scared to death! That's right, the guts of this thing are just that small.
As soon as the opponent dies, the body will disappear, and it will be a long time before the next resurrection, and it is not known where it will be resurrected.
This fundamentally blocked the possibility of Mu You using force to capture the opponent.
There was no other way, so Mu You had no choice but to go back in time, and followed step by step, neither daring to get too close nor being pulled too far.
The only way now is to constantly consume its physical strength, and only after its physical strength is completely exhausted and it has to take root can it be arrested.
【The Tree of Wisdom reached out and groped in its brainstem, and threw a wisdom fruit at you! 】
【You catch the wisdom fruit, the crystal clear fruit in front of you makes you salivate, and you can't help biting it...】
【You were poisoned to death by wisdom fruit! 】
【You are dead, lifespan -100 years, experience value -100...】
"Backtrack!"
【Time flies, you are back to five seconds ago. 】
【...the crystal fruit in your hand, once again makes you salivate, you...】
This time, before the character ate the fruit, Mu You clicked on the "wisdom fruit" with explosive hands, extracting the fruit into reality.
A crystal-clear fruit appeared in Mu You's palm.
The moment Mu You saw this fruit that was only the size of a glass bead, Mu You couldn't help but swallowed, and subconsciously wanted to swallow it, so he hurriedly stabilized his mind, put the fruit away, and kept it out of sight.
This is the effect of this fruit: as long as the creature sees it, it will instinctively want to swallow it.
However, this thing is highly poisonous, and it can only be eaten after being used as medicine. People who swallow it directly will undoubtedly die, and one time will lose ten years of life.
The Wisdom Tree often helps itself escape by throwing the Wisdom Fruit at the enemy to poison the enemy.
Fortunately, Mu You, as a professional potion master, would not make such common sense mistakes.
