This game is just very simple

Chapter 44: Asking Questions but Failing in Seconds (Two in One)

"It's almost time."

Peng Chong said after checking the time.

He was ready to leave.

Let’s check Area D with Qin Yuan first.

Make sure there are no large groups of people showing up.

Then he walked towards the agreed place.

Soon they saw seven people standing in three camps.

Zhou Zhongrao was with the two men holding shields.

Those with machetes and those with axes.

She looks a bit feminine.

There's also a guy with a crossbow.

Peng Chong's gaze lingered on the man holding the crossbow for a while longer.

Because he saw four or five pieces of equipment on the people here.

Shield, one-handed sword, leather gloves, soft armor
This kind of configuration was the first time he had seen anyone other than them in this underground parking lot.

"Zhu Bo!"

Zhao Xu recognized him at a glance. This was his subordinate Zhu Bo.

"you know?"

Peng Chong looked at Zhao Xu.

"Looking at the state of my former subordinate now, he should have replaced me."

Zhao Xu's face was a little gloomy.

He had already seen that several pieces of equipment on Zhu Bo came from his confidants.

It is obvious that his confidants are now in great danger.

Hearing Zhao Xu's words, Peng Chong frowned.

He still felt somewhat apprehensive about the group of people Zhao Xu had previously worked under.

However, he did not show it, but continued to ask:

"What about the others? How many do you know?"

"I don't have much impression of the two with shields."

"The one holding the machete is Xu Dashan, a thug with no brains."

"The one holding the axe is Yu Xinfu, a martial artist, very strong. He also wanted to form a force like mine, but because of his overly strong personality, he failed."

He and his subordinates who hold equipment seem to have a superior-subordinate relationship, but most of them are actually just partners.

Yu Xinfu really treated them as his subordinates, beating and scolding them at the very least, and killing them directly at the worst.

"The last one with the effeminate look is Hua Yiman. This guy is moody. He's often smiling one second and killing the person he's talking to the next. He's probably the one who's killed the most people out of these guys."

After listening to Zhao Xu’s brief introduction.

Peng Chong fell into thought.

The guys Zhou Zhongrao called are all dangerous.

Cooperating with them is undoubtedly courting disaster.

Fortunately, judging from the positions of the people, it wasn't a bundle of ropes.

Otherwise, Peng Chong would really consider giving up this cooperation.

"Stay on guard outside. If you see a large number of other people coming, notify me and Zhao Xu immediately."

Peng Chong said to Qin Yuan and Zhou Wenjie.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Qin Yuan patted his chest, saying that he could take care of the matter.

"Wenjie."

Peng Chong looked at Zhou Wenjie. The person he was most worried about was Qin Yuan.

Feeling Peng Chong's gaze, Zhou Wenjie nodded quickly.

"Don't worry, Brother Peng."

After explaining everything, Peng Chong pulled the reluctant Zhao Xu towards where Zhou Zhongrao and the others were.

"You guys are a bit slow. If you're any later, we'll all have to enter the dungeon world."

When Zhou Zhongrao saw Peng Chong and the other man coming, he immediately greeted them with a smile.

Yu Xinfu looked at Peng Zhong, his gaze lingering on the longbow in his hand for a moment, and then he looked at Zhao Xu, who looked a little haggard.

"I didn't expect that what Zhou Zhongrao said was true. Boss Zhao, you are really still alive."

"Zhu Bo is a very dishonest guy. He took advantage of Boss Zhao's absence and killed all of your men."

Zhu Bo has too much equipment on him, and the threat to him is too great. If possible, he does not want to cooperate with him.

He wanted to see the two of them shed blood.

However, the development of things was not quite what he expected.

Zhao Xu just looked at Zhu Bo without saying anything.

A look of surprise appeared on Zhu Bo's face.

As if by accident, Zhao Xu is actually still alive?

“Isn’t this a play to replace it?”

Yu Xinfu always believed that the news that Zhao Xu was captured by a newcomer was false.

After all, that's really bullshit.

A man was arrested right under the noses of more than fifty people.

This is harder than catching a fly in a room.

But looking at the changes in their expressions, this seems to be true.

Thinking of this, Yu Xinfu looked at Peng Chong again, feeling that he could no longer ignore this newcomer.

Because he thought he couldn't do that kind of thing.

If the other party can do this, it means that the other party is much stronger than you in some aspect.

"Don't waste time, where is the invitation?"

Hua Yiman interrupted their conversation and said that he did not see any trace of the invitation letter on Zhao Xu.

This made him begin to doubt the authenticity of Zhou Zhongrao's words.

If there is no proof that the invitation letter actually exists.

Then he prepared to leave.

After all, if the time comes and I enter the dungeon with these guys around me, I won’t even know how I died.

"Hand over the invitation."

"For the sake of our previous friendship, I can spare your life."

When Zhu Bo heard Hua Yiman mention the invitation letter, he stopped being silent and raised the crossbow in his hand and aimed it at Zhao Xu and Peng Chong.

Cooperation?

He can lead people through the special map and find the red door by himself.

Why take the risk?
As for Zhao Xu and Peng Chong's resistance.

At this moment, he has an absolute equipment advantage.

So the ones who should be worried are the two people opposite, not him.

Yu Xinfu, Hua Yiman and others saw this but did not stop it.

Because they also wanted to confirm first whether the invitation letter Zhou Zhongrao mentioned really existed?

Several people's eyes fell on Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu was a little confused.

If you want an invitation letter, go to Zhou Zhongrao!
Why are you all looking at me?
He looked at Zhou Zhongrao and wanted to ask.

Then I realized that the other person was standing aside watching the show with a smile on his face.

Now they are all fooled.

And just when the atmosphere was becoming tense.

Two footsteps, one fast and one slow, were heard in the distance.

This immediately attracted the attention of several people present.

"Is there an ambush?"

Everyone immediately became alert.

But they soon breathed a sigh of relief.

Only two people came over.

Zhou Wenjie holding a shield, and Qin Yuan wearing a cloak.

Everyone looked at Qin Yuan.

Then he looked at Zhu Bo again.

It feels like a low-quality copycat encountering the original.

Comparing the equipment of the two men, they felt that Qin Yuan was more like the leader of the largest force in this underground parking lot.

"This guy has a few more pieces of equipment."

When Zhou Zhongrao saw Qin Yuan coming and discovered that he had a few more pieces of equipment on him, his eyes narrowed immediately.

He concluded that Qin Yuan and the other two must have discovered the equipment refresh mechanism that they had not discovered.

Otherwise it is impossible to explain why the equipment is so productive.

"Let me see what's going on."

When Qin Yuan saw Peng Chong being pointed at with an arrow, he immediately rushed over and stood beside Peng Chong. However, he was disappointed when he saw that it was someone he didn't know.

It would be great if this person was Zhou Zhongrao.

Then he can launch unlimited counterattacks.

Zhu Bo felt the strange looks from the people around him.

It was difficult to go up or down, and it was extremely difficult.

However, he still put the crossbow back.

The equipment gap is too big.

"What do you mean?"

Seeing Zhu Bo retract his crossbow, Peng Chong looked at Zhou Zhongrao, who had been standing by and watching the show from the beginning.

Obviously, it was the other party's fault.

"Just self-protection."

After Zhou Zhongrao finished speaking, he pulled out a yellowed scroll from his clothes under the puzzled gazes of the people around him.

The scroll was filled with densely packed tiny words written in black ink.

A red stone door is painted in the middle of these small words.

【Name】Invitation to Hell
【Type：】Consumables
【Quality：】Ordinary

[Effect:] After use, the user and their teammates will be teleported to a special room with a hell gate in the next adventure.

Seeing Zhou Zhongrao take out the invitation letter.

Zhu Bo, Yu Xinfu and others were all stunned.

"Zhou Zhongrao, how dare you play tricks on me?"

When Zhu Bo reacted, his face looked extremely ugly.

This time, he lost all face because of Zhou Zhongrao's misleading words.

"If I hadn't said that, would I still be alive today?"

Zhou Zhongrao smiled and said, then looked at Zhao Xu:
"I wonder if this is the invitation letter you mentioned, Boss Zhao?"

Zhao Xu took a closer look and found that it was almost the same as what he had heard from the Niuma youth.

He nodded.

"It is indeed an invitation."

"The method is very simple, just tear up the invitation letter."

After knowing how to use it, Zhou Zhongrao tore the scroll in half before everyone could react.

As for whether Zhao Xu was lying to him, he believed that the other party would not be clever in such matters.

And this is indeed the case.

The next second after the scroll was torn, a raging flame ignited from above.

Wait until it is completely burned out.

A red skull mark appeared on the back of Zhou Zhongrao's hand.

This means that the next time he enters the dungeon, he and the people around him will be teleported to the vicinity of the red door.

"Once we enter the dungeon, I don't ask for mutual trust, but at least don't backstab each other."

Zhou Zhongrao saw Qin Yuan, who kept gesturing towards him, as if thinking about where to stab him best, which made his eyelids twitch.

"After all, our goal is to find the red door and leave this damn place."

"We can't take any equipment with us, so there's no need for any intrigue."

After he finished speaking, he saw Qin Yuan regretfully put away the Western sword and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he raised his hand and showed everyone the skull symbol on the back of his hand.

Yu Xinfu disagreed.

Hua Yiman narrowed his eyes and stared at Zhou Zhongrao.

Peng Chong held Qin Yuan's shoulders and asked him to calm down a little.

Zhu Bo's face darkened when he saw that he could no longer keep the invitation to himself.

He looked around and said to everyone:

"I guess Boss Zhao hasn't told you yet what the special room you enter with the invitation is like."

"You don't really think that just a few of us can make it to the red door, do you?"

As Zhao Xu's former subordinate, Zhu Bo also knew something about the invitation letter.

After hearing Zhu Bo's words, Zhou Zhongrao looked at Zhao Xu:
"Boss Zhao, can you tell me the details of that special map?"

Zhao Xu saw everyone looking at him, thought for a moment and nodded:
"can."

"After using the invitation, we enter the dungeon again and enter a pitch-black maze. The red door is in the center of the maze."

"There are a lot of traps in the maze. Without light and no one to explore the way, we can't get through it."

Zhu Bo added on behalf of Zhao Xu.

Since his personal strength was not as good as Qin Yuan's, he wanted to call all his younger brothers over so that he could take the dominant position in the entire operation.

Hearing Zhu Bo's words, everyone looked at Zhao Xu.

After getting Zhao Xu's affirmation, everyone looked at Zhou Zhongrao.

Zhou Zhongrao did not expect this to happen.

But this is beneficial to him.

After all, the condition of limiting the number of people was proposed by Peng Chong.

"I wonder what you three think?"

Zhou Zhongrao looked at Qin Yuan and the other two.

"Snapped!"

A snap of fingers rang out.

The next moment, the red-orange light dispelled the surrounding darkness.

"."

Everyone looked at the flame in Qin Yuan's hand and fell into a brief daze.

"Is this magic?"

Yu Xinfu was stunned.

Only a few people know that magic exists.

Yu Xinfu and others are not among them.

Zhu Bo knew it, and his eyes were full of fear as he looked at the flame in Qin Yuan's hand.

"Any question?"

Qin Yuan looked at the few people who were in a daze and asked with his hands on his hips.

Zhu Bo's face darkened. He quickly recalled the past and then said again:

"There are still a lot of monsters in the maze, including skeletons and mummies."

"Everyone should have encountered skeleton soldiers, so I won't go into details here."

"But the mummy has extremely strong attack and defense capabilities. Although its movement speed appears slow, don't underestimate it just because it's really slow. Once it starts to escape, its speed will suddenly increase several times."

"I can tell you for free that the mummy's weakness is liquid."

"The mummy's body will instantly disintegrate if it comes into contact with liquid again."

"Blood is liquid. Bring more people with you. They can serve as our mobile water source."

Zhu Bo stopped talking here.

He looked at Qin Yuan with a cold gaze: "You don't want to use your own blood, do you?"

Qin Yuan took out several bottles of slow-acting poison.

Signaled Zhu Bo to continue.

Zhu Bo: “.”

"Someone has to hold back the Warrior Skeleton and the Mage Skeleton, right?"

"We can't defeat these two monsters."

"Either we can have a large number of cannon fodder to delay us, or you can use remote means to resolve it."

Zhu Bo raised his crossbow, pointed at the longbow in Peng Chong's hand, and shook his head.
"A few arrows won't be enough."

"Crash."

The sound of a large number of wooden sticks falling to the ground was heard.

Zhu Bo looked down and saw more than a dozen arrows dropped on the ground at Qin Yuan's feet.

"."

Are you fucking Doraemon!

Zhu Bo stopped talking.

He really didn't know what to say.

Zhou Zhongrao looked at Qin Yuan and was not in a good mood. He felt that the strength of Qin Yuan and the other two was a little too strong.

However, this is not a bad thing.

No matter which side becomes stronger, it is a good thing for him.

Both can increase his chances of passing through the red door.

"Do you have any more questions?"

Peng Chong asked with a smile. He was very happy to see others being humiliated in front of Qin Yuan.
