1512 The temptation of the treasure (1)
Although it was only a deal with Tang Zhen, Luo Fei still felt a trace of gratitude towards Tang Zhen.
She was very clear in her heart that the deal between her and Tang Zhen was actually a child’s play. It could even be said that it did not have much attraction. It was not strange for Tang Zhen to reject it.
...However, Tang Zhen had agreed to cooperate with him during the two times they had met. Although there was a reason for them to make use of each other, it was more of a helping hand!
It was also because of Tang Zhen’s help that Luo Fei was able to avoid serious losses and persevered until the end of the spirit Master World Mission.
He had even managed to arrive at the core region with Tang Zhen’s help earlier and did not miss the best timing.
Therefore, even if Tang Zhen didn’t care, Luo Fei would remember this favor in her heart.
Compared to Tang Zhen, Ming Feng’s image instantly became much more despicable. Although Luo Fei would not let her emotions affect her actions, her vigilance and disgust towards Ming Feng did not change at all.
Of course, on the surface, she did not show it at all.
After the two of them chatted for a while, Ming Feng suddenly said, ” “I heard that you had some contact with Tang Zhen. I wonder if you can introduce him to me. What kind of person is he?”
Only by knowing one’s enemy and oneself would one be able to control the overall situation. At this moment, Ming Feng had already listed Tang Zhen as his greatest competitor. Regardless of what methods he had used to obtain the first rank in the previous trial, Tang Zhen was someone worthy of him doing his best to guard against and deal with.
Eliminating him from this trial was only the most basic plan. If he had to wait until the time when he had to use his main body to participate in the trial, and the other party was still in the same trial world as him, he had to find a way to kill him!
Only a dead opponent could make Ming Feng feel at ease.
Although the trial in the fifth battle area was cruel, it was also humane. At the beginning of the trial, they would not use their bodies. This way, they could protect the trial-takers to the greatest extent and prevent them from dying because they were not used to the mission.
When they had some understanding of the trial missions and accumulated a certain amount of points, they would then arrange for the trial-takers to participate in even more brutal missions. Only then would the real trial begin.
90% of the cultivators had died at this stage, the elimination rate was frighteningly high.
Ming Feng, Luo Fei, and the rest were all about to leave the stage of newbies. After completing this trial, the two of them would be able to participate in the real trial mission.
As such, the last two trials were rather important to Ming Feng. Not only could he accumulate enough points, but he could also obtain a higher evaluation and participate in missions with higher returns.
Danger and opportunity coexisted. This was a principle that every trial-taker understood.
The last time, the good thing had already been ruined by Tang Zhen. Ming Feng was already gnashing his teeth in hatred. This time, he would definitely not allow the same thing to happen again. He held his breath and wanted to teach Tang Zhen a lesson!
Who would have thought that from the beginning until now, Ming Feng had not seen any traces of Tang Zhen. This caused him to feel depressed, like a mouse pulling a turtle with nowhere to eat.
That was why Ming Feng placed his focus on Luo Fei. He tried to analyze Tang Zhen through her and then make targeted measures.
He did not know that Luo Fei was already on her guard against him. She was even more alert against Ming Feng’s approach.
Sir Ming Feng, I’ve only come into contact with Tang Zhen once. We didn’t contact each other again after that, so I don’t know much about this person.
After giving a perfunctory reply, Luo Fei did not say anything else to avoid making mistakes.
When Ming Feng saw Luo Fei’s expression, he knew that she was hiding something and did not want to tell him what she knew.
in that case, I won’t ask any more questions. I hope your Excellency will fully cooperate with us in the next operation. After all, this matter is very important to you and me!
Ming Feng turned to leave after giving Luo Fei this warning, but his expression was dark and uncertain.
As time passed, more and more trial-takers began to gather in the core area. Ming Feng and the rest also began to put on disguises, mixing in with the natives.
The hall was packed with people. The trial-takers were divided into groups, all looking at the passage leading to the cornerstone platform with greed in their eyes. However, no one dared to approach the passage.
The corpses on the ground and the metal puppets that were constantly moving around had already proven how dangerous this place was. Rashly approaching would only result in death.
“Have you heard? there are countless treasures hidden behind this passage!”
that’s right. It’s said that the treasure room is right there. If we find it, we’ll be rich!
“It won’t be that easy. Any place that stores treasures will be heavily guarded. You should first think about how to deal with those metal puppets!”
“Can’t we just attack together? with so many of us, can’t we handle a few metal puppets?”
The cultivators discussed animatedly. Although they were all coveting the legendary treasure, no one took the initiative to probe.
At this moment, there was a sudden change. A series of hurried footsteps could be heard, followed by someone shouting, ” “Look, someone is running out of the tunnel!”
The conversing trial-takers were stunned for a moment. Then, they vaguely saw a figure suddenly appear. As he ran out, he was stopped by the group of trial-takers at the front.
As this group of trial-takers had almost blocked the entire passageway, the people behind him did not see if he had run out from the deepest part of the passageway. However, what happened next made the natives ‘breathing Quicken.
In the tussle, the bloodied trial-taker was pushed to the ground with a dagger stuck in his body. His bag was also thrown in front of the trial-taker not far away.
With a series of clanking sounds, the items in the bag fell out, and the colorful treasure light made the trial-takers ‘hearts beat wildly.
All of these treasures were of high quality, and any one of them was worth more than the total value of all the treasures collected by the other cultivators!
this is my treasure. I took it from the treasure room. None of you are to take it!
The trial-taker who ran out of the tunnel roared and spat out a mouthful of blood. He fell limply to the ground and seemed to have died.
The cultivators who were dazzled by the treasures were already red-eyed, and they did not care who these treasures belonged to before. Instead, they continued to fight for them, and the sound of fighting rang through the entire Hall.
Many of the trial-takers who had managed to snatch the treasures were struck down by attacks from all directions before they could even see what was happening. Then, the treasures fell into the hands of others.
“Damn it, stop fighting. There are plenty of treasures in the passage!”
that’s right. As long as we get rid of those metal puppets, those treasures will all be ours!
quickly remove those metal doors and use them as shields. We’ll move forward step by step!
the opportunity to make a fortune is right in front of you. Brothers, charge!
Driven by their greed and the motivation of those with ulterior motives, the trial-takers rushed toward the metal puppets and blocked the passage in an instant.
As he watched the trial-takers rapidly advance into the tunnel, a smug look appeared on Ming Feng’s face. He indicated for the cultivators beside him to follow closely.
If anyone had noticed this, they would have realized that they were the ones who had deliberately blocked the passage, discovered the trial-takers who had run out of the passage, and encouraged the natives to attack the metal puppets.
Even the owner of the treasure who had died quickly took off his clothes and hid among the cultivators in the building.
From the beginning to the end, this was a trap designed by Ming Feng. Driven by benefits, the natives took the bait.
Next, as long as he seized the opportunity to get the foundation stone of the tower, he would be the biggest winner of this trial!
The Mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the Oriole behind. He was the Oriole hiding behind the scenes!
The complacent Ming Feng did not realize that just as they entered the tunnel, a human figure walked out. It was Tang Zhen, whom he had not seen all this while.
Tang Zhen slowly walked to the front of the tunnel. He stepped on the bloody remains on the ground and followed step by step.
It was still too early to say who the Oriole was!
