Chapter 123: Chapter 123: Conspiracy (Please Add to Favorites, Recommend, and Like)

Luokai and the other [Great Wall Players] were all dumbfounded. Li Ba had just been extremely brave.

He charged at the mermaids with just a bow and arrow. It was as if he were shouting out, "You all have already been surrounded by me alone."

Wherever his arrows pointed, the mermaids turned into bloody pulp. The stinky blue blood was scattered all over the ground by the heavy rain.

He forced a blood-stained path.

The other [Players] couldn’t even participate. They could only follow behind him and cover his blind spots.

Everyone’s hearts could only say ’very brave.’.

They actually had powerful offensive [skills] too, but there was no chance to use them. With Li Changhe being so brave, he felt like he was a one-man army.

However, people’s admiration for him didn’t last long. They had finally managed to fight through and join the people outside the temple gate. He should’ve used his powerful long-range output ability to help them fight against the mermaids together.

Unexpectedly, as soon as ’Li Ba’ entered the temple, he rigged up a small Mongolian tent and crawled in and even said, "Safe now, you guys go ahead."

Everyone looked at each other puzzled. So, you were just brave enough to get yourself a tent to rest in?

He’d been brave all the way, and then suddenly cowered?

Fortunately, the pressure outside the temple gate was greatly reduced. There were 14 people altogether - Great Wall Players and ’General Mountain’ members - even if Li Ba didn’t help, there were still 13 [Players].

With 13 more [Players] at once, the mermaids’ siege weakened significantly.

There was even a sign that they were being pushed back.

Just as everyone thought the [Periodic Task] was actually that simple. The pouring rain suddenly stopped. The mermaids, stepping on the bodies of their own kind and planning to assault the temple gate, began to appear ghost-like.

When the sunlight fell, the corpses and blood on the ground all disappeared. Even the originally destroyed temple buildings were instantly restored.

If it hadn’t been for their still damp clothes, they would’ve thought everything that just happened was an illusion.

"What’s this...?" Luo Kai was taken aback and instinctively looked at those humans who had been previously besieged.

One of the Jiushan City [Great Wall Players] waved and said, "Let’s recover first. Do you guys have any food? We’ve been cut off from food for a week!"

...

Meanwhile, inside the small Mongolian tent in the temple. Li Changhe let out a sigh of relief.

[Negative State: The Tingdaros Hound has its eyes on you]

Ever since Li Changhe entered this Mongolian tent, the state had remained the same. There was no sign of any monsters coming out from any corner.

On the [forum], it was known that the Tingdaros Hound’s hunting target was limited. It could only come out from a corner that was less than or equal to 120 degrees around the target.

Li Changhe prepared a Mongolian tent and a bunch of spherical defenses in his [Backpack]. As long as there were no corners around him, it wouldn’t be able to appear.

He had temporarily escaped its pursuit.

The combined effects of Li Changhe’s [Hundred-Headed Shooter] and [Worm Mechanical Bow] dealt considerable damage.

But if the hound were to suddenly bite him at close range, he wouldn’t be able to survive the counterattack. He could even die the moment he was bitten.

"Afterwards, I must upgrade my physique. Tie Xiong, that bastard, has a very impressive defense force. If I had that kind of ability, I could dodge the hound’s first attack." Li Changhe muttered to himself. He thought that a few arrows at the hound, whether it died or not, would injure it.

But now that he thought about it, he might not even be able to use his bow and arrow. The power was too great, and at close range, he could be in danger,

But his own melee and defense capabilities were not that outstanding.

On the [forum], someone said that with a physique of 13 points, combined with some defensive [Protection], one might be able to withstand the hound’s attack.

He would move towards this goal first. It turned out that the thickest armor was still needed to withstand the deadliest attacks.

"Tsk, how did I, a magnificent archer, end up like this?" Li Changhe muttered to himself.

Hearing that the battle outside had already ended, Li Changhe finally had time to look at the [Periodic Task].

[Task Name: Sea Clan Invasion]

[Task Type: Periodic Task]

[Task Goal: Resist the infiltration/destruction of the Sea Clan World to one’s own world]

[Task Reward 1: One selection type reward]

[Task Reward 2: 100 player experience]

[Task Reward 3: Relevant achievements]

You see, the [Evolution Game] is full of malice. The [Periodic Task] rewards are just so perfunctory.

Li Changhe frowned. At this moment, he sensed someone knocking outside.

"Li Ba, I’m Luo Kai from [Great Wall]. Can we talk now? Let’s discuss the known information."

Li Changhe was not surprised; his actions must have made them feel uncertain.

"Be careful when you open the door. Come in close." The bronze mask emitted a voice without any emotion.

The tent wasn’t too big; Li Changhe had originally planned to use it as a hiding place from the hunting dogs. To ensure that it could be placed even in an emergency, he chose the smallest sized tent. It wasn’t cheap.

It was only about the size of a room, and couldn’t seat many people.

He Feng naturally entered first. He knew about the curse on Li Changhe and had thought of several ways to deal with it, but none of them could be used just now.

Teacher Wang followed closely behind since he was nominally a member of [General Mountain].

Then came the [Great Wall Players].

It made the already small tent even more cramped.

Li Changhe took a glance at the [Great Wall Players]. Xiao Nan and three of her original teammates came, as well as one unfamiliar face. It should be a member of the Jiushan City [Great Wall] outpost.

Seeing that they were all dry and refreshed, it was evident they had changed their clothes. Li Changhe subconsciously twitched his wet arm, being too hurried earlier, he had not even had time to change his clothes.

"Don’t worry; I’ll help you dry off in a while. Just don’t expose any flaws." Xiao Nan said from [Friends], sitting not far away.

Li Changhe nodded silently and then looked at Luo Kai, "Do you know what the situation is now?"

Luo Kai shook his head: "I’m waiting to hear it with you."

A [Great Wall] outpost member on the side took out a can of meat and started eating it.

"Don’t mind me, I’ll eat first. I haven’t eaten like this for a week." The [Great Wall] member said while eating.

A week? Wasn’t it three days?

Li Changhe had heard that the previous batch of [Great Wall] players had gone up to Jiushan Temple three days ago.

"In fact, the longest we’ve stayed is one month already." The outpost member swallowed a difficult mouthful of meat and said to everyone, "The time span here is different from outside."

"If it’s according to your time, we’ve only been in Jiushan Temple for three days. However, the time span inside is ten times that of the outside. At first, we noticed abnormal rainfall in Jiulong Mountain. At the same time, we felt a strange sensation. We thought it was some mysterious or fantasy species, so we sent three members to check it out. We were on standby in the ancient town. But after the members entered the temple, we lost contact with them. We wanted to ask for reinforcements from the headquarters and Yanyun branch, but we couldn’t get out, not even the information can be sent."

"Normally, if the standby members at the outpost cannot contact us for a certain period, they should report to the headquarters. So we entered the temple first, at least before you guys arrived, to support our teammates. Unfortunately, once we entered, we couldn’t get out." The [Great Wall] member shook his head helplessly, "And now we know. The headquarters did not receive any notice, nor any reinforcements. Your appearance is an accident; something happened to the outpost."

"This [Periodic Task] is real. But it’s also a plot against [Great Wall]!"
