Chapter 532: Jumo Island (Thirty-Eight)

When Feng Bujue returned to the exit of the corridor, Silkworm Mother was nowhere to be seen, and Uncle Waste Chai was also missing.

Looking up, the silk mesh they had cut just now had returned to its original shape. If you look closely, you can see...the broken parts have been filled with fresh, lighter-colored new silk.

"What is going on..." Feng Bujue pondered, "Have you been captured?" He glanced at the game menu again. In the team column, the status of the good-for-nothing uncle was still [Surviving], "Should I escape on my own?" It fell..."

While Brother Jue was thinking, he began to survey the details of the surrounding environment. His eyes first stopped on the body of Queen Daodie, and he murmured: "It hasn't moved at all..." Then he raised his eyes to scan again. The nearby crystal pillar, "The damage on the crystal pillar is also the same as when we left..."

"Hmm...it doesn't look like there was a fierce battle." Feng Bujue touched his chin and thought, "Is he really being controlled..."

Suddenly, Brother Jue saw something again. He immediately took a few steps forward and squatted down: "This cigarette butt..." He picked up a cigarette butt on the ground and took it in his hand to look at it carefully. "This is undoubtedly a waste ( Uncle Chai left it, assuming... he lit up the cigarette as soon as we left, and then used words to deal with the boss, then... judging from the degree of burning, after about two minutes, the cigarette fell to the ground. ”

"But..." Feng Bujue put down his cigarette butt and stood up, "The time when Honghu and the others were 'controlled' was after running for about five minutes. Could it be..." He looked up at the sky again. Silk screen, "... Could it be that this boss uses silk to 'control' other people's abilities. Will there be a certain delay as the distance becomes longer?"

"Hey! Are you okay?" At this time, a wild voice came.

Feng Bujue turned around and saw that Brother Xiaoma, Jibu and Honghu were also running over.

"Why don't you guys rest a little longer?" Brother Jue asked calmly.

"How can a hero keep people in trouble waiting?" Tianma Xingkong replied loudly.

I have to say that this guy is really powerful. He had faced the crisis of zero physical fitness just a few minutes ago, but now he seems to be full of energy again.

"Haaaah...haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, but Atobe was the same as usual, panting as soon as he stopped. "I would rather fight than run a long distance!"

"Has uncle good-for-nothing been taken away?" Honghu said, although his face was covered in sweat. But he could still manage to maintain his normalcy. His ability to think was also unaffected. So I asked a more constructive question as soon as I opened my mouth, "You have already observed the scene. Do you have any conclusions?"

"It's probably because the boss kidnapped him." Feng Bujue shrugged, "Anyway, judging from the team column, 'death' is a situation that can be ruled out directly."

"Then there's still a 20% chance..." Honghu adjusted his glasses. asked tentatively. "...Uncle Uncle Good-for-nothing escaped from the boss's control with his own strength, but he is missing now?"

"Yes." Feng Bujue replied, "If it were anyone else, the 20% probability would not exist, but Uncle Good-for-nothing... it might be possible."

"Hmm~ Well, that guy in sunglasses is unfathomable." Tianma Xingkong nodded in agreement.

"Huh...then what should we do now?" Atobe finally breathed evenly and said, "Go find him?"

"Of course." Tianma Xingkong immediately replied, "How can a righteous hero abandon his companions?"

"First of all, I'm not a hero." Feng Bujue continued with empty eyes, "Secondly, at least in the game, I belong to the evil camp..." He licked his lips, "But... considering the new main line The mission never appeared, and we seemed to have nothing else to do besides looking for the good-for-nothing uncle.”

"Hey~" At this time, Atobu seemed to suddenly think of something and interrupted, "Do you think Uncle Good-for-nothing escaped back to the corridor?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone instinctively turned their heads to look at the exit of the corridor.

"Don't tell me... in a desperate situation, it's really possible." Honghu thought.

"If that's the case, he shouldn't have escaped very far." Feng Bujue said, and walked towards the corridor, "Because it's impossible to chase the giant silkworm in, and the good-for-nothing uncle only needs to stay closer to the exit. Just wait until the boss leaves and then come out."

[Warning, the front is filled with energy from the defensive array. 】

As soon as Brother Jue reached the exit of the corridor, before he even stepped in, the system prompt rang.

"Okay... It seems that this hypothesis can be ruled out." Feng Bujue immediately turned back and explained the situation to his teammates.

Everyone also came over to give it a try, and each heard the system prompts.

"This corroborates our previous speculation." Feng Bujue said, "The last main line mission did not mention 'obliterate', that's why. If we haven't come out of the corridor by the time the mission time limit is over, defense The magic circle will be activated, and then the group will be destroyed..."

"Forget it..." Honghu continued, "At least we are sure that the good-for-nothing uncle is still in this crystal confusion, and we are also sure... that there is no way back for us."

[The main mission has been updated]

[Side mission has been triggered]

Just as the four of them were discussing the next direction of action, mission reminders suddenly came, and there were two at once.

They opened the game menu and looked at the task bar. The new main and side quests were: [Reach the Despair Cage] and [Reach the Silkworm Mother's Nest and rescue Uncle Waste Chai before he dies (or leaves the script for other reasons)]

"Hey, hey... There are no restrictions on the main quest this time..." said Atobe, "Not only is there no mention of 'obliteration', there is no 'time limit' either?"

"Heh... It looks a lot easier, right?" Feng Bujue said with a wry smile, "But think about it... This is a pitfall!"

"That's right, the time limit is not only a restriction, but also a reminder." Hong Hu continued, "We can use the time given by the system to limit... infer the approximate distance between the mission target and oneself, and the average time required to complete this mission. "He paused for a second and swallowed his saliva, "and the current main mission is equivalent to no hints, just a simple sentence... This is much more difficult than the previous ones. "

"Let's not study the main line for now." Tianma Xingkong interrupted, "Rescuing the righteous partner is the top priority!"

"Ah... That's right, let's consider the side line first." Feng Bujue said weakly, "Now the system has told us about Uncle Waste Chai's situation. Judging from the content of the mission, he may not be able to hold on for long..." (To be continued..)
