Chapter 137: Chapter 137 Cooperation? (Seeking Collection, Seeking Recommendation, Seeking Subscription)

"Hiss!" Luo Kai and the others, who were hiding on a nearby hillside, ready to strike at any moment, gasped when they heard the sound from the communicator.

Even the hands of the [Great Wall players] maintaining the formation trembled.

Almost dispelling the formation.

Taking advantage of the mermaid troops still being far away, the group quickly approached the valley through the trees on the hillside. Using the formation and [Skill] to silently approach the woman in white.

Then they planned.

Li Changhe walked in the open, and Teacher Wang in the shadows. One openly and one secretly approaching the woman in white.

But Li Changhe’s actions left [Great Wall] baffled. Wasn’t it supposed to be testing first, then besieging, and finally torturing after catching her?

What are you doing riding a bike to strike up a conversation? Is this a youth drama? Moreover, your position and distance are not suitable for an attack at all!

"Is this how [General Mountain] operates? By flirting?" Luo Kai wore a confused face and looked back at He Feng.

He Feng cursed in his heart, knowing Li Changhe’s original intention was to negotiate.

Given his temperament, he might even tell the mermaid a fairy tale. He might be able to get some clues, or at the very least intimidate her by showing his muscles.

He even wanted to put on Mountain Pattern Armor at the beginning. But for some reason, the plan suddenly changed, and it turned into the old-fashioned flirting now.

"What the hell are you up to?" Xiao Nan also asked in the [Friends] chat.

"I chickened out... I saw that she’s a Fantasy Species up close!" Li Changhe replied in the [Friends] chat.

The woman in white looked like a human from afar and still resembled one up close. But her ears were light blue earfins, like wings.

Just approaching her, danger and oppression could be felt.

The majesty of an advanced stage of evolution... Even the [Sun Halo] Fire Man paled in comparison.

She’s either a level 10 [Player] or a Fantasy Species [Player], and maybe even both! All of them were tough opponents.

Mermaid... This is the legendary mermaid! What were those earlier ones?

With snow-white skin and sea-blue eyes, if not for her ears, she could be a beautiful human girl. Of course... she was not quite as stunning as Xiao Nan, Li Changhe glanced at the woman in white and noticed that she indeed had legs. This also confused Li Changhe and the others.

Was she a higher-ranking mermaid? Or was it the [Player] that brought about the change?

Was she the same species as the previous mermaids? This wasn’t part of the plan.

Li Changhe cursed in his mind. The original plan was to put on [Great Wall Mountain Armor], use the mechanical bow, and show her the power of the archer.

Probe her strength with Teacher Wang, and if she was too strong, talk to her.

If necessary, Luo Kai and the others would strike and besiege her.

After all, Li Changhe and Teacher Wang both had the ability to escape.

However, with the oppressive feeling, Li Changhe thought it would be risky fighting her. Casualties were certain.

Teacher Wang probably thought the same, as he stopped moving while sneaking halfway. He must have chickened out too.

Li Changhe cursed silently, restraining his hostility. He coughed lightly and said, "To meet with the young lady under such a beautiful setting, it must be fate! May I ask for the young lady’s name? By the way... can you understand what I’m saying?"

The white-clad mermaid frowned slightly and looked up at the dense black clouds and heavy rain.

She wondered if there was a cultural difference between humans and mermaids.

Did this count as a beautiful setting?

She didn’t sense any hostility from Li Changhe. However, when he approached, there was a sense of danger.

Looking at the mermaid troops rushing in from a distance, had he suddenly become afraid?

The mermaid in white spoke solemnly, "Human, you shouldn’t be here. I don’t want another tribe to gain [Player] status."

"Other tribes?" Li Changhe’s heart stirred, does this mean that there is a power struggle within the mermaids’ tribes, and they fight in the form of tribe-based conflicts?

Those two [Players] before, were they killed by the mermaids of other tribes?

"Rather than letting someone else acquire you as a [Player], I’ll finish you off myself." The mermaid in white readied her two-meter-tall trident, preparing to take action.

Luo Kai and the others became serious, each preparing their [Skills]. Their position wasn’t far, about a hundred meters away. They could provide support or retreat at any time.

Meanwhile, Teacher Wang, who was hiding in a tree twenty meters away from the mermaid in white, also took out a long spear, ready to strike at any moment.

From their point of view, Li Changhe’s negotiations had failed... and they had switched to an aggressive plan!

Seven against one, no big problem! As long as they finish her off before the mermaid troops arrive.

"Hold on! Before we start, I have a question." Li Changhe spread his hands and said, "Why not cooperate?"

The mermaid in white hesitated, cautiously stepping back with her trident. In that split second, she felt a surge of danger. The nearby human [Players] weren’t just one person!

She was surrounded!

The mermaid in white felt a shudder in her heart. Her chances against multiple [Players] on land were uncertain, and there seemed to be a particularly dangerous presence among them!

The woman in white could sense it faintly.

What’s more... she couldn’t trust not only the [Players] but also the white fog and the mermaid warriors rushing from afar.

She couldn’t let her guard down.

If she fights with this group of human [Players], she might not only fail her mission but also lose her life.

Fantasy Species [Players] are strong, but the other side obviously has a trump card against her as well.

"Cooperation? What kind of cooperation are you talking about?" The mermaid in white slowly retreated, not daring to act rashly now.

"Seeing my coat, you should know that I am a human [Great Wall Player], right?" Li Changhe patted the coat on his body, shaking off a puddle of water.

"Of course. Black coats, one of the strongest [Player Organizations] among humans. To you, we are just plot creatures. The same applies to you!" The mermaid in white sneered, "All of you are humans, and we mermaids can’t cooperate."

"I know, we’re all [Players], and there’s conflict even within the same species. Let alone between two different species. But you’re different, you... belong to just one faction, right?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Kai furrowed his brows and whispered, "What do you mean?"

"The mermaid in white mentioned ’other tribes’ before. That means that for them, this task is a competitive [Confrontation Task]!" Xiao Nan replied, "If we start from this point, we can dig up more information."

"Can we trust her? She’s a mermaid, what if they join forces against us humans?"

"We didn’t say we trust her." He Feng chuckled softly in response.

On the other hand, the mermaid in white slightly narrowed her eyes and asked in a low voice, "How do you want to cooperate?"

"Our human task is to kill... five Mermaid [Players]." Li Changhe shook his fingers.

Seeing the mermaid in white’s face change and her weapon tightly gripped, Li Changhe chuckled inwardly.

"And before the [Task] is completed, reinforcements will continue to arrive. I am this round’s reinforcements from [Great Wall]."

Li Changhe continued, "However, two of our human [Players] have been sacrificed. The two [Player] positions have been taken by you mermaids. In fact, this time, you have seven [Players] for your [Task]. This means that two of the mermaid [Players] originally in the [Task] can actually survive."

"You want me to provide their locations? How can I trust that you won’t attack me?" The mermaid in white stared at Li Changhe.

On the other side,

"Alright, it’s confirmed that the enemy currently has seven [Players]." Xiao Nan whispered softly.

"This...This is just a wild guess, right?" Luo Kai was taken aback.

"No, when Li Ba wiggled his fingers, he was using [Eagle’s Demon Eye] to watch the mermaid’s facial expressions. When he raised five fingers, the mermaid’s expression changed." Xiao Nan replied.

"This is cold reading." Xiao Nan paused for a moment.
