Chapter 1596: Chapter 1422: Who is the Real Culprit (Two in One)_2
Youtong swept her gaze over the unexplored terrain, imagining possible hiding places for people. Just clean out these terrains, and there’ll be no worry about not finding that damn guy!
"Had we known it would turn out like this, we should have started searching from the inside. Catching the real culprit would be a breeze, but this isn’t bad either. We got quite a few goodies, which can be considered a consolation."
The Unlucky Smoker scratched his head and resumed his miserable job of luring monsters. Judging by the terrain before him, it would only take a few minutes to explore the entire area, and this damn storyline could finally come to an end. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
With this thought in mind, the Unlucky Smoker took a deep breath and dashed forward, but to his surprise, just before he could get far, ripples spread from under his feet, locking onto his figure and forcibly teleporting him away.
The unfortunate Unlucky Smoker, still in a running stance, vanished from everyone’s sight just like that.
"Haha, the teleportation circle has finally appeared again!"
Youtong was unexpectedly delighted and, carrying her shield, ran over, shouting, "Little Yue sis, you guys hurry up and follow, I have a feeling we’ve got a shot with this teleportation circle!"
"This girl, always so hasty, I can’t deal with her," Creamy Little Master shook his head helplessly, leading the team into the teleportation circle.
However.
When they entered this space, they found the Unlucky Smoker already encased in ice. There were five snowmen wizards that looked exactly alike, each holding a blood-colored staff, dancing bizarrely around the ice sculpture that was the Unlucky Smoker, and chattering incessantly in a strange language.
Regrettably, they couldn’t understand a single word, which invisibly increased the difficulty of their task.
"Smoker!"
Seeing the Unlucky Smoker’s current predicament, Youtong was both anxious and angry, no longer caring about anything else, lifting her shield and ready to charge.
"Little Tong, stop right there!"
Creamy Little Master bellowed, "What are you fussing about? We can all die, but you can’t! If you die, everything will be for nothing!"
"Ah? But..."
Youtong’s teeth clenched in frustration, her eyes filled with anger as she watched the five snowmen wizards, feeling an urge to beat them up, and pointing at the block of ice, she urgently asked, "What about Smoker? We can’t just watch him die, can we?"
"Don’t panic, think about it, when has the effect of freezing been so strong? Don’t worry, the Unlucky Smoker is tough, he won’t die in a short time!"
That’s when Gu Yue stepped forward, "Little Tong, instead of worrying, you might as well check if your quest has changed. Given the situation, it looks like a quest plot has been triggered. The real culprit might be hidden among these five wizards!"
"Ah, yes, the quest!"
After the reminder from Gu Yue, Youtong hastily opened the quest interface, her expression changing slightly, she excitedly said, "Little Yue sis, your analysis is spot on, the real culprit is indeed hidden among these five creatures, but we only have three chances to attack. If we don’t find the real culprit, it will escape, and then it’ll be hard to find it again."
"So, what’s the situation with the Unlucky Smoker? Has he become a hostage?"
Su Ran, who hadn’t spoken until now, asked a critical question, "If we fail, will it affect the Unlucky Smoker?"
"Yes, each failure will reduce Smoker’s health by a third and conjure another wizard, so essentially, these three chances are betting on his life."
Youtong’s look towards the Unlucky Smoker was filled with worry, "I never thought this quest would be so complicated. The real culprit is right in front of us, yet we have no clue who it is. This is tough."
"The reward is a dark gold pet, it would be strange if the quest wasn’t hard!"
Creamy Little Master had been observing the snowmen wizards. Their appearance and attire were identical, and even their postures and movements offered no clue for differentiation. This kind of spot-the-difference game was simply too heart-wrenching.
"Can we use the Crowd Technique? Hit all five with one move, and we can instantly determine who the real culprit is!"
Su Ran scanned each one using the Detection Technique but found nothing but question marks, dashing his hopes for a shortcut.
"Do you think that’s possible? The system isn’t stupid!"
Youtong gave Su Ran an annoyed look, saying irritably, "If it were as simple as you said, then why bother with such a complicated storyline? Just bring out one wizard and be done with it!"
"Overturning Water, stop talking rubbish. This is a critical moment that concerns the Unlucky Smoker’s life and Little Tong’s plot quest. We need to be cautious!"
Creamy Little Master said to Su Ran, "Overturning Water, have your Shield Warrior Skeleton approach and test it out, see if there’s any danger. If it’s safe, then we can observe up close, and surely some clues will emerge!"
"Okay."
Su Ran nodded in agreement. If he were in command, he would have done the same because it was the safest way to probe without risking the life of everyone present.
Just as the skeletons entered the attack range of the snowmen wizards, the wizards instantly stopped their antics, staring intently at the skeletons, raising their staves above their heads and rotating them clockwise non-stop.
Subsequently, five sharp ice arrows materialized and shot towards the skeletons at high speed.
Moreover, these ice arrows split into five each mid-air, a total of twenty-five ice arrows piercing through the skeleton group, creating an impressive visual effect with a thousand arrows piercing the hearts.
