Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Using Each Other (Seeking Collection, Recommendation, and Reviews)

[Periodic Task: Sea Clan Invasion]

[Task Objective: Defend your world from the infiltration/destruction of the Sea Clan’s world]

It has turned into [Find Jiulong Lake and destroy the ’origin’ hidden within]

A [Task hint: Jiulong Lake will appear during rainfall] was also given.

A thought occurred to Li Changhe, was Jiulong Lake the vanishing and reappearing lake that Hai Qing mentioned?

Intermittent existence, deadly white fog, mermaid forces.

We have gotten quite a lot of information.

Li Changhe looked at the approaching mermaids in the distance and muttered inwardly, "There’s no time left, if we get surrounded, it will be quite tricky."

As if noticing Li Changhe’s mood, Hai Qing laughed faintly and said, "Don’t worry, the rain is about to stop. They won’t make it here in time."

"It seems that the relationship between you mermaids isn’t good?" Li Changhe also noticed that the rain around him had started to lessen.

"They can hardly be called true mermaids," Hai Qing said, "They’re just dependents. They are not considered true mermaids of the Sea Clan until they transform their snake tails into legs. We the Azure Fin Tribe only have less than three thousand true mermaids."

"Transforming from a Spirit Monster Species to a Fantasy Species?" A thought flashed through Li Changhe’s mind. It seemed that the evolutionary pattern of the mermaids was quite special. Was it related to this so-called origin?

The probability was high; otherwise, why would so many dependents of the mermaids be allowed into the [Task]?

According to the information previously obtained, for the mermaids, this task serves as a shortcut for evolution.

There is a high probability that it is for the intention of increasing the number of the clan.

Every Fantasy Species is powerful. Even if they are not [Players], they can train themselves to a level that rivals [Players].

But their numbers are small, and according to the [forum], this is due to their low reproduction capability. No wonder they are so hostile to other tribes. This represents an opportunity to increase the strength of their own tribe. They definitely would not share it.

And that so-called origin, it’s probably something akin to the Dragon Transformation Pool that allows one to shed their mortal bodies and start anew, right?

Wow! That’s something! If I jumped in and became something like a golden dragon....

Of course, this was just wishful thinking. In all likelihood, I would end up completely annihilated....

"In fact, I don’t believe your words," Hai Qing suddenly said.

Li Changhe was surprised and raised his bow to aim at her, "Neither do we. But why would you speak so much to me if you don’t believe us?"

"Because I know that sooner or later you will have to confront the [Players] of our Sea Clan," Hai Qing sheathed her twin swords and grinned, "Just based on this, we can cooperate."

She’s also a smart one. She probably never intended to believe Li Changhe from the start. She told so much information just in hopes of using the human [Players] to remove or weaken the strength of the opposing tribes.

"Alright, it’s done. I don’t want any more complications," Li Changhe interrupted Hai Qing. Knowing her intent, she wanted the human [Players] to trigger the sub-quest.

With the malicious programming of the [Evolution Game], it’s likely it would cause the human players to trigger a side quest to aid Hai Qing.

The more said, the more mistakes made. Let’s end it here!

Hai Qing chuckled not bothered, and threw out a white seashell from her bosom. Li Changhe didn’t catch it and let it fall to his feet.

"This is my [Equipment], and it should be able to stay in this world. It will give some hints when I am near," Hai Qing saw Li Changhe carefully poking at the seashell with an arrow, smiled and said, "In our Sea Clan, if a female gives a male a seashell and he does not accept, it’s considered a provocation. According to our rules, you would be attacked by my family and friends."

"My worry is that after accepting it, you’ll say something like, ’whoever receives this seashell must marry into the Sea Clan’. That would be hard for me, I already have a girlfriend," Li Changhe said, who am I kidding, who knows if there’s a curse on it.

If there’s an instant death curse and I touch it, it would be game over for Li Changhe.

Especially since I still have the curse of the hound on me. Caution is key.

Hai Qing’s body gradually turned pale, and the mermaid forces in the distance also began to gradually disperse.

The heavy rain was about to stop.

Hai Qing was stunned by Li Changhe’s words, took a deep breath and said, "Human, I still do not know your name."

"[Great Wall] Yanyun Division, Executioner Squad Leader Yang Dong!" Li Changhe responded with equal solemnity.

This caused the faces of the concealed [Great Wall Players] to twitch. They couldn’t believe what they were hearing. They of course knew that Yang Dong was a real name, not an alias. He really is the team leader of the [Great Wall] division!

You flirted with her and now you’re putting the blame on Yang Dong?

And how did you know Yang Dong’s name, and his team leader status??

External [Players] should only know the [Player Nicknames]. Even if they knew the real names, they certainly wouldn’t know the positions.

Li Ba was indeed the ’Hidden Pile’! Luo Kai and the others had a strange look on their faces.

He Feng noticed this and came to understand the thoughts of the [Great Wall]. They must suspect that Li Changhe is a ’Hidden Pile’ since he knows Yang Dong’s name.

If it happened elsewhere, and Yang Dong’s name was shouted out, it would be reasonable to think that way.

But now, of the seven people present, four are from the [Great Wall], one is a [Great Wall] ’Hidden Pile’, and the other two are [Players] who have gone through the [Task] with Yang Dong.

You guys have blown the misunderstanding way out of proportion.

"On second thought... [General Mountain] is something Li made up. If anything, he should be the boss. Is the boss the ’Hidden Pile’? He might as well join [Great Wall] directly as an external organization." He Feng muttered to himself, "That seems plausible..."

On the other side.

"Very well, [Great Wall] Yang Dong, I hope we have a pleasant cooperation," Hai Qing said through gritted teeth.

The next instant, the heavy rain ceased. Her figure and the figures of the mermaid forces in the distance vanished at the same time.

Only when the sunlight shone on him, did Li Changhe breathe a sigh of relief.

He beckoned his teammates who were off in the distance to hurry over.

"Can you not be flirtatious at a time like this?" Teacher Wang also emerged from the shadows and, turning off his communicator, said, "You even implicated Captain Yang! He’s my only contact. If he gets screwed over by you, I’m in deep trouble!"

Li Changhe also shut off the communicator in his Great Wall Windbreaker, "It’s not a big issue, both of us are using each other. She knows that I will be suspicious of her, and likewise, she doesn’t trust us. But we both need each other, so we won’t turn on each other for now. As for Yang Dong... he won’t care about this sort of trivial detail."

Teacher Wang scoffed, "Do you have a misunderstanding about the meaning of trivial?"

At this time, Luo Kai and the others also quickly ran over.

Chen Yan held her hands over the seashell, a green light emanating from them. After a few seconds, she shook her head, "There’s no malevolent curse. It’s just a piece of [Excellent Equipment] with a small range tracking ability."

"Then take it with us," said Luo Kai in a low voice, then turning to Li Changhe, asked, "Can we trust her?"

"No! Human [Players] don’t trust each other, how could we trust a mermaid [Player]?" Li Changhe replied, "Both parties have their needs, we need information, she needs us to wear down her opponent. As for everything else, don’t take it too seriously. While I’m setting her up, she’s also testing us."

Luo Kai nodded slightly and said, "Since we’ve already triggered the [Task Information], we’ll follow the clues given."
