Chapter 897: Chapter 555: Misunderstanding

The Moon God was by far the best option for a teammate, both in terms of strength and character. As a friend, he was also very loyal.

Since the [Black Forest] Guild showed him such disdain, not even offering any help with the Moon God’s current mission, it would be just as well if he left the guild.

Dealing with all the open and secret rivalries was too exhausting.

That’s why Li Changhe thought his own [General Mountain] was a pretty good place to belong.

At least, when teammates needed help, no one would just stand by and watch.

"Let’s wait until it’s over. Inviting him now might seem a bit like coercion," He Feng messaged Li Changhe in [Friends].

"Yeah, that’s what I think too," Li Changhe responded.

The Moon God naturally had no idea about Li Changhe and the others’ thoughts. He continued, "That non-human player will also be getting on the train. If I can find him before the auction starts and deal with him directly, there won’t be too much competitive pressure. Over a hundred fruits should be able to persuade him. Plus, from this task, I’ve gained a few epic-level pieces of equipment. That should be enough."

"Do you think my Yin and Yang eyes can spot that player?" Zhao Jiu scratched his head. "If he’s the only non-human player on the train, I can naturally tell. But from what you’ve said, there are quite a few non-human players on board."

Since battles sometimes erupt between passengers, every passenger who gets on the train disguises themselves well, to better protect themselves.

Non-human players are no exception. With human players being the majority on the train, they take extra care to hide their true selves. Zhao Jiu worried that his eyes might not be able to see through their disguises.

"If you could see ’her,’ it shouldn’t be hard. We just need to narrow down the possibilities," the Moon God said. "I’ll approach each one before we reach the final station."

"Okay," Zhao Jiu nodded. "I’ll do my best."

"Thank you," the Moon God told everyone. "Everyone, get ready. Once it’s time, we’ll prepare to board the train."

"Alright, I’ll take care of this part. Even though we’ve already won, we still need to be careful not to leave any traces," He Feng said. "Then Li, you feed the blade, Zhao, take a rest. Brother Ting...do as you please."

With that, he took out a can of gasoline and a bucket filled with blood from his backpack.

He planned to burn down the underground space of the factory and use insect god blood water to erase the corpses of the factory side, trying to eliminate any traces they might have left to prevent the enemy from finding any clues.

"Don’t worry about the corpses outside," Li Changhe spoke up.

"Have you already erased them?" He Feng asked. "That was fast?"

"No," Li Changhe chuckled. "They’ve all been fed to the dog."

Dog Brother never refused food that was delivered to his doorstep, devouring it regardless of whether it was human or trash.

"I’ve told you, the Tingdaros Hound isn’t a dog!" He Feng corrected seriously.

Li Changhe nodded, picked up the Sin Dragon Mo Blade, and began to slowly infuse it with Black Mud.

The reason he hadn’t used Hundred-Headed Shooter in the previous battle was to be ready for any emergencies that might occur on the train.

Once he switched to Hundred-Headed Shooter, he wouldn’t be able to use Immortal Cavalry for the next 24 hours.

Li Changhe’s strongest state was actually when the time periods of his two Title Skills overlapped.

Hundred-Headed Shooter lasted for ten minutes, and during that time, if he switched to Immortal Cavalry, the effects of Hundred-Headed Shooter would not disappear. He could enjoy the effects of both Title Skills simultaneously.

Similarly, when summoning Immortal Cavalry, switching to Hundred-Headed Shooter meant that Immortal Cavalry wouldn’t disappear prematurely. He would still enjoy the effects of both Titles.

Of course, relatively speaking, it was shorter.

(Some readers have always said there are issues with the Title Skill during battle, but I have carefully calculated every battle. Usually, I first activate the Hundred-Headed Shooter, then switch to Immortal Cavalry. Within the 10-minute duration of the Hundred-Headed Shooter, it’s possible to trigger ranged enhancement and summon soldiers. The reverse is also true; after Immortal Cavalry are summoned, even if the Title is switched, they still remain.)

Given the crowded and watchful situation on the train, it would be best to start with Immortal Cavalry.

Immortal Cavalry has an almost overwhelming advantage in melees and chaotic battles.

The Hundred-Headed Shooter, on the other hand, is kept as a trump card.

Speaking of which, using the Hundred-Headed Shooter on the train isn’t very practical. What if it blows the train apart... Hmm?

Upon this thought, Li Changhe seemed to have grasped some clue. Just as he was about to delve deeper, Moon God approached him and said, "Sir, we owe you a big favor this time."

He hadn’t received much help in the Black Forest, and seeking assistance from Li Changhe this time was truly an act of desperation.

"Tsk," Li Changhe waved his hand in disdain.

...

Elsewhere, inside a residential house in Ruhua Village.

White Deer’s face was grim, while his female teammate was completely drenched and showed a look of terror.

They had realized that the battle at the factory had ended.

The battle began abruptly and ended quickly, which was to be expected.

After all, it was just prey lured into a trap. The factory had probably been ready for how to handle it well in advance.

But the outcome was an utter defeat for the factory.

"They should have a considerable number of players, but now..." His teammate’s body trembled: "They’re all dead. All killed by that red giant."

After the battle started, she left the guesthouse and approached the factory. In the pouring rain, she sensed the fearsome battle between that huge red giant and the black skeleton from afar. The entire factory had been battered beyond recognition, even split open, with corpses strewn everywhere.

"That girl..." White Deer slowly exhaled: "I see..."

"What did you realize?" His female teammate asked. She hadn’t reached LV10 yet, and the horrible scene she witnessed had shaken her to the core.

Becoming a train passenger and trading goods on the train, her strength was somewhat stronger than that of the average players. This had given her a sense of superiority.

But after seeing fellow passengers being brutally killed, her sense of superiority evaporated, replaced by boundless fear.

"The controller of this platform lured prey here by means of task clues or other methods, wanting to take her player identity or something special," White Deer analyzed calmly: "But... all this was done on purpose!"

"You mean... that woman was actually baiting them intentionally?"

"Possibly. Otherwise, how do you explain the sudden emergence of such a powerful master?" White Deer continued his analysis: "She estimated the bait. After confirming the exact strength of the factory, she brought a master to assault the factory. We all thought she was the fish caught on the hook. In fact, she was the true fisherman! And everything she did was to seize control of this platform!"

"Then we..." His teammate was frightened after the fact, as she had previously thought about making a move on that girl. It turned out all to be a ruse!

"When the train arrives later, go and show her some goodwill," White Deer responded: "She should be the new controller of this platform now."
