Chapter 274: Chapter 272: How Dare You! (Triple-Length Chapter) _2

"I am a member of the Yanyun Division’s Third Team, Xiao Nan." The girl responded calmly. Now that she had teammates by her side, she felt at least a little safer.

"Good, Xiao Nan, right?" Gold Teeth replied, "Currently, our luck isn’t that good, and we are surrounded. As far as I can see, there are no teammates within a one-kilometer range around us."

Gold Teeth glanced at the round instrument in his hand. There was no reaction from it.

"But don’t panic. Their plan is to have us scout the area when the Magic Tower appears. The condition for the Magic Tower to open is that there must be at least ten people present. We should be safe until we enter the Magic Tower."

"Besides us, there are also [Players] being held hostage." Gold Teeth glanced at the [Player] who was similarly surrounded by [Black Palace Players], wearing a windbreaker. He stood alone at a short distance, holding a curved knife and keeping a distance from everyone else. The windbreaker’s hood concealed his face, making it impossible to know what he was thinking.

Gold Teeth tried to communicate with him, but he only shook his head in response.

"If it comes to a fight, he’ll definitely take action, so we would have four [Players] on our side. The difference between 4 and 6 isn’t too big." Luo Wang patted Xiao Nan’s shoulder reassuringly, signaling her not to worry.

In fact, both of them were only comforting Xiao Nan. At level 2, she didn’t have any real combat strength.

Normally, those who participated in this [Task] were level 5 [Players] or above. The gap was too wide.

The girl naturally understood that she was dragging her team down. In her heart, she repeatedly told herself that she must survive.

Her gaze, however, inadvertently fell on the lone [Player] in the distance.

Or rather, on the curved knife he was holding.

When the [Player] had taken out the curved knife, the girl had noticed a pattern on its sheath.

"This pattern on the weapon... I think I’ve seen it somewhere before." The girl thought to herself. She had been pulled into the [Task] during her training.

On the materials distributed by [Great Wall], she seemed to have seen this pattern before. It depicted a large fish leaping out of the water.

From the beginning, she was clear in her thinking. With her limited combat strength, she wouldn’t be able to secure any advantages in battle.

So before Gold Teeth and the others arrived, her mind had been busily working out possible escape plans while observing all the available information around her.

Either by persuading the lone [Player] or working out an escape route, she had considered every possibility.

It was only after Gold Teeth and the others had shown up and her situation had slightly improved, that she finally recognized the pattern on the curved knife as something she had seen in her training materials.

"Think back, try to recall... This might be the key to our escape." The girl delved into her memories, trying to find a connection.

Seeing the pattern on the weapon, Li Changhe also felt it was somewhat familiar. Where had he seen it before?

Right... Hai Qing’s trident! The Sea Clan?!

Suddenly, Li Changhe remembered something. On Hailing Mountain, Hailing Mountain had said that he had seen the girl before. Was this the moment he had meant?

"Damn, is this [Player] actually Hailing Mountain?" Li Changhe wondered to himself, thinking about the chances of meeting Hailing Mountain under such circumstances.

His luck was extraordinarily terrible!

However, Luo Kai had told him something before.

During Hailing Mountain’s struggle for the Demon Armor, he had killed several [Black Palace Players]... Were they referring to Scarface and the others?

At that moment, a vibration came from the ground below their feet.

The tremors were intense and close. With Luo Wang’s support, Xiao Nan managed to steady herself.

Then, their perspective shifted, and they saw a tall tower rising from the ground.

The Magic Tower was beginning to appear.

If they could get a bird’s-eye view, they would see seventy-two tall towers emerging from the ground.

"It’s here." Scarface smiled, then turned and shouted, "Members of [Great Wall], and our silent [Player] friend."

"Since the Magic Tower has appeared, it means you have no choice but to follow us into it. Don’t worry, we’re all human. We won’t harm you." Scarface swung his chain hook as he spoke.

At the same time, the other five [Black Palace Players] took out their weapons, pointing them at the four people in the circle. Their threat was obvious.

"Don’t act like you’re the world’s police in front of me! You raise your weapons against humans while shouting ’For the humans!’ What a bunch of shameless hypocrites!"

Gold Teeth’s expression darkened as the Magic Tower appeared and still, there was no sign of any teammates coming closer on his round instrument.

How incredibly unlucky!

"But, if we think on the bright side, if we go to the Magic Tower, there’s a chance we might meet our allies. Won’t all [Players] head towards the Magic Tower?" Luo Wang whispered.

"In this vast desert, there are thousands of [Players] and dozens of tall towers. In addition to the conflict with the Demon Beast and Fantasy Species, the probability of encountering our own people is extremely low... It’s more likely that we will enter the tower first, or they will."

Gold Teeth sighed and shook his head, and with a [Black Palace Player]’s escort, he began heading towards the nearest Magic Tower.

Xiao Nan, meanwhile, appeared thoughtful.

...

The nearest Magic Tower wasn’t far away. The group walked cautiously, watching each other as they made their way. It took them around ten minutes to reach the bottom of an imposing structure.

The tower was approximately a hundred meters tall, with thousands of delicately carved stone statues of various strange creatures adorning its outer wall.

It was more like a pillar than a tower.

At the entrance, there was a carved hexagram, as well as a dense array of characters.

A group had already gathered there, waiting. Both sides looked at each other, and the other group was small, numbering only three people.
