Chapter 182: Faking Death to Draw the Snake Out of Its Hole

The Tree of Life Tower was very dedicated and faithfully carried out Mo Yu's orders.

After he fell into coma, the light of life continued to fall on Mo Yu at a constant rate of one shot per minute.

With the replenishment of a large amount of life force, the injuries caused by the Void Assassin were quickly healed.

He didn't even need to rest. After just an hour or so, Mo Yu woke up naturally.

After opening my eyes, my thoughts quickly returned and became clear.

Mo Yu sat up suddenly and looked at Timo who was standing beside him.

"How long have I slept? How is the territory doing?"

"About an hour, don't worry, Brother Mo, the territory will be fine." Timo breathed a sigh of relief and answered.

Mo Yu nodded, fortunately, only an hour.

Even in the worst case scenario, if the forces behind the other party have any backup plans, they will not have time to use them.

After all, he returned to the territory directly through the City Return Spell.

He felt his body's condition and found that it had recovered well and he didn't look injured at all.

Even with the blessing of the light of life, his physical fitness is even stronger than before.

At this time, another ray of life light fell from the Tree of Life Tower.

"No, thank you." Mo Yu waved his hand, indicating that the Tree of Life Tower should not continue to shine the Light of Life on him.

The Tree of Life shook its leaves to show that it understood, and continued to protect the young natural elves under the tree.

Mo Yu withdrew his gaze, opened the lord's information panel, and checked the situation in the past hour.

It was very quiet, just some ordinary matters, nothing special happened.

During this process, Timo probably also talked about how he and Dazhuang took the initiative to activate the territory's combat readiness status.

Mo Yu did not blame him, but praised him instead.

When he was not around, Da Zhuang and Timo were the only ones who had the qualifications to make the decision, and the situation at the time really made it necessary.

At this moment, several people rushed into the yard.

Da Zhuang, Salt, Zhong Han and others rushed over together. Seeing that Mo Yu was in good condition, they immediately showed a look of relief.

Even Choi Jung-ri breathed a sigh of relief.

He was a man who was afraid of death, so he knew how important it was to have strong thighs in this world.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Mo Yu signaled to everyone to be at ease.

Then he swept his eyes across the crowd and asked, "Where are Bruma and the others? Haven't they come back yet?"

"Yes, I have just contacted Bertha from the army. They will return to the territory in more than 20 minutes." Zhong Han said.

"Remind them not to take it lightly." Mo Yu nodded.

If there really is a force behind that void creature that can launch a surprise attack on itself, then it can also launch a surprise attack on these teams outside.

However, it is only more than 20 minutes away from the territory, which is not very far.

If anything happens, the territory can provide support immediately, so there shouldn't be any big problems.

Mo Yu came back to his senses, looked at the people in the yard, and quickly got into the state.

He first briefly recounted the process of his assassination, the appearance characteristics of the void creature, and their speculations.

Then he asked, "Come on, everyone, tell us what you think?"

Several people looked at each other, and finally Salt spoke first.

He frowned and said, "From the description just given by the Lord, the assassin first attempted to kill, then committed suicide after being captured. This seems to be a death warrior trained by some force."

"These days, monster forces have been constantly being refreshed outside the territory. Is it possible that a community of void creatures has just been refreshed?"

Mo Yu nodded, not ruling out this possibility.

But when I think about it carefully, something seems to be wrong. The difficulty is a bit too high!
Judging from the assassin's assassination methods, his strength is at least at the three-star epic level. Logically, such a powerful enemy should not appear.

We have wiped out so many monsters before, but none of them had such abnormal strength.

But it's hard to say, maybe it's a bomb that was deliberately created, or maybe it's simply the indigenous force, both are possible.

Now is not the time to worry about this. What we should consider is how to get rid of this poisonous snake lurking in the dark.

Seeing that everyone was thinking seriously, Mo Yu couldn't help but clapped his hands to attract their attention.

"No matter where this force came from, the most important thing is how do we find and deal with them?"

"If this problem is not solved, everyone's life will be threatened when they go out in the future."

This is the truth. Given the opponent's strength and strange skills, perhaps only a few people in the territory can deal with it.

Timo sighed, "In the past few days, the shadow scouts have been patrolling outside, but they have not found any trace of the enemy. They should be hiding in a special place. It may not be easy to find them. It would be best to lure them out."

Mo Yu also had such a guess. He once took a tactical radar tower to conduct reconnaissance in the wild, but there was no result. He wondered if it was because the range was not enough.

"Why don't I go outside and act as bait to lure them out?" Salt took over the conversation.

He is still very confident in his own strength.

Mo Yu shook his head. This was not a good idea. He could attract one or two people but not be able to find their gathering place. This hidden danger would always be difficult to solve.

At this time, Da Zhuang clapped his hands and said, "Master, I think you should pretend to be seriously injured, or even more seriously..."

"You mean faking your own death?"

Mo Yu's eyes lit up. This was a solution.

No matter whether it is the refreshed monster forces or the indigenous forces, they are all very eager to obtain and occupy the territory crystal.

Only by occupying the territory crystal will they be eligible to participate in this game.

Otherwise, you will always be a wild monster in the wild and be slaughtered at will.

And if he faked his death, the other party would most likely be tempted and seize the opportunity to attack the territory.

"But... there is still a problem with this. If we can't wipe them all out, hiding behind them will still be a hassle."

Timo raised his hand and said, "If they escape, we can send shadow scouts to track them and find their lair."

"No, they are not fools."

"Then what do you think we should do?"

"I think it's better to ..."

At this time, Choi Jung-ri in the corner weakly raised her hand.

"Sir, there is an item in my backpack called Straylight Potion, which can be used for tracking."

"Let me see it." Mo Yu said without question.

He knew in his heart that these three adventurers might have something in their backpacks.

After all, they could be captured and searched from head to toe in the Blackrock Slave Camp, but there was no way to search this completely virtualized backpack space thoroughly.

The same goes for Mo Yu.

The adventurer's backpack is a completely private item that only he or she can view.

In this regard, Mo Yu did not push too hard, mainly because he felt that nothing good would come of it.

On the other hand, he didn't want to have too much of a strained relationship with these three people. After all, he still had to rely on them to do things.

Therefore, it only restricts the subsequent loot obtained, and it is not allowed to hide it in the backpack privately.

"Please have a look, sir." Cui Zhengli handed over two small bottles respectfully. One side contained translucent potion, and the other side contained a tiny insect that looked like a bee.

[Light-Seeking Potion]: A special potion that is colorless and odorless. Once it is contaminated by the target, it will last for 24 hours before gradually dissipating.

[Stray Light Bee]: Can track the trail of the Stray Light Potion and find the source of its scent.

"Good stuff!" Mo Yu couldn't help but want to turn it into a tower.

But consider that towerization is too risky and may destroy the performance of the item.

He had to hold back and looked at Timo.

"I'll give you this potion. I only have one request. Find the gathering place of void creatures. Can you do it?"

In the battle in the dense forest, it was Teemo who managed to keep the void creature alive because he accurately hit it with a blowgun dart.

Therefore, Mo Yu believes that as long as the void creatures appear, Teemo will most likely be able to complete this task.

"Yes, sir, I promise to complete the mission!"

Teemo saluted and took the potion with both hands.

"Okay, let's do as Da Zhuang just said. Pretend that I died of the poison and see if we can trick those void creatures here."

Mo Yu made the final decision.

Everyone quickly went down to make arrangements.

At this time, outside the territory, the Bruman team was returning.

After receiving the warning, Bruman was very cautious. The team would rather sacrifice speed and maintain a very dense defensive formation.

With this kind of formation, there is no way for void creatures to infiltrate and assassinate.

Unless you want to exchange your life for it, but there are no important people here, so it's not worth it.

However, what Bruman didn't know was that they were indeed being targeted.

In another layer of space that they could not see, several void creatures were following them, but unfortunately they did not find an opportunity to take action.

This is a unique void ability possessed by most void creatures, which allows them to hide in the void.

Maintaining this state, the consumption is not great.

Because the void energy in their bodies maintains the same frequency as the void, they can live in the void for a long time as long as they want.

Of course, once they enter the real world, this state of balance will be broken and quickly become unbalanced.

The consumption of using the void ability again will become extremely high, and unless it takes a considerable amount of time to adjust the frequency back, the consumption will be reduced to its original state.

This is also why the Void Assassin could sneak up to Mo Yu silently, but after being discovered, he could not immediately use his void ability to escape.

It's not that I don't want to escape, it's that I really can't escape.

"Do you feel like something is watching us?" Bertha whispered to Bluman beside her.

She had just been promoted to a second-level adventurer and gained a new ability, hostility perception, which was a passive ability.

Now this ability clearly told her that there should be some creature nearby watching their team.

This female warrior from the Ice and Snow Country wasn't particularly bad looking, but her physique was just too horrifying.

At least that's what Bruman thought. He thought Bertha was much more beautiful than other girls of the same race.

With some well-known ideas and deliberate closeness, the two are now quite familiar with each other.

Bruman thought of the warning sent from the territory before, and felt a chill in his heart. Could it be that he was really being targeted?

"Then we have to be careful, we will soon reach the territory. As soon as we return to the territory, they will--"

As soon as she finished speaking, Bertha's expression suddenly changed.

In the chat channel, she received a message from Zhong Han regarding Mo Yu's cooperation in faking his death.

then……

"What did you say, Lord--" Bruman's voice suddenly rose, but soon dropped again.

"This is impossible!" Bluman said with some disbelief.

Bertha shook her head sadly. "I am the Lord's follower. How could my perception be wrong?"

……

These words, word for word, fell into the ears of the void creature that was lurking around the few people, looking for an opportunity.

But they... well, couldn't quite understand.

They could only judge something from the expressions of a few people. As the team quickly gave up their cautious defensive posture and rushed to the territory, they became more certain.

The void creatures did not think of it as a trap. After all, they were well hidden and no one could find them in the void.

But the void creatures still followed Bluman and his team very carefully and came to the vicinity of the Deep Blue City.

They tried to continue following and sneaking in, but failed. There seemed to be an invisible force in the void near the territory that blocked their advance.

Although that force is not strong, it is not something that can be broken through by the third level strength. At least one must reach the fourth or fifth level before it is possible to break through.

However, several void creatures still stayed outside the territory and observed for a while.

The Deep Blue City is not very large now. The void creatures float upwards for a while, looking down from above, and can easily see the situation in the territory over the city wall.

It can be clearly seen that Mrs. Ster and her group of minotaurs are confronting another group of goblins and humans.

The two sides were clearly divided, which resulted in a much smaller number of troops stationed on the city walls.

Is the lord really dead?

Are your subordinates fighting for power now?
Little did they know that Bertha had already passed the information back long ago, and it was just a script directed on the spot.

The void creatures only thought they were hiding well, but in fact, they had been discovered long ago.

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Several void creatures quickly divided the work, two went back to report the news, and the rest continued to watch here.

……

"You said that the lord is dead?"

A majestic voice sounded in the empty space.

The two void creatures that had just returned knelt below, confirming again and again that they were not mistaken.

"It should be true. The venom of the Void Serpent is an untreatable poison. Even if the lord escapes, there is no reason for him to survive."

"Haha, if that lord dies, everything will be easy."

"You think things are too simple. Even though he is dead, those defense towers will not disappear. It will cost us a lot to attack such a territory."

"What does it matter if I pay the price? There's only less than a week left. If you still can't take it down, do you want to become one of those bound wild creatures?"

"We, the Void Clan, will never endure such a fate, so this territory must be taken."

……

There were many voices discussing, and in the void, one purple-black human figure after another appeared.

"I've made up my mind. I'll do it tonight!"

Finally, the majestic voice at the beginning sounded, and everyone suddenly quieted down.

Although everyone knows that after the lord dies, the best way is to wait for the remaining group of people to fight among themselves for a while.

But they dare not gamble. Who knows if the internal fighting continues, will the two forces in the territory unite into one, or fight to the death?

It would be better to strike at night when the lord has just died and the group is leaderless.
