The end of the world is approaching, I'm handing myself over to the country.

The way Ainz Ooal Gown obtains information remains a mystery.

To prevent the plan from being leaked before it is executed, completely cutting off contact is undoubtedly the best and safest approach.

Chi Zhengyang looked at Lin Mo and saw a composure and caution on the young man's face that was beyond his years.

He didn't ask any more questions, but simply nodded emphatically.

"it is good."

One word represented his promise.

Moreover, Lin Mo's composure is something he is willing to see.

Right now, the most important thing is Lin Mo's safety.

This matter is only meaningful if Lin Mo himself understands it.

Having finished his discussion, Chi Zhengyang didn't linger. After a brief farewell, he stood up and walked straight out of the grocery store.

He still has too many things to arrange and handle.

While the replacement plan is feasible, the details need to be carefully considered.

There can be absolutely no mistakes on Zhang Heng's side as well.

It doesn't matter why Zhang Heng became the Bone King.

As long as Zhang Heng is Zhang Heng now, that's fine.

If possible, find out why Zhang Heng became the Bone King. Even if you don't change him, at least make him stop hating humans.

The door to the grocery store was pushed open and then slowly closed.

Only after Chi Zhengyang's figure had completely disappeared did the sparrow perched on Lin Mo's shoulder speak again.

Since you trust him, why not just entrust the task of exploring the world to his people?

His voice broke the silence in the store.

This also saves a significant amount of source crystals.

Lin Mo stared blankly at the tightly closed door, remained silent for a few seconds, and then shook his head.

He turned around and sat back down behind the counter.

"This is not a matter of trust or distrust."

His fingers tapped lightly on the rough wooden countertop unconsciously.

"I simply don't want to entrust my entire destiny to someone else's hands."

Placing your hopes on others is the biggest gamble of all.

Lin Mo, however, has never been a person who enjoys gambling.

Unless you have a 100% win rate, you can't afford to lose even one percent!

Otherwise, he would be more convinced.

Only what you hold firmly in your own hands truly belongs to you.

Of course, there is another point.

And most importantly, he didn't say it aloud.

The source crystals flowed out of his hands and eventually returned to the hands of those players.

It seems that he lost out.

But in reality, those source crystals will eventually turn into the grocery store's revenue in various forms and fall back into his pocket.

Even if there will be some unavoidable losses in the process.

Overall, however, this deal was definitely worthwhile.

What's this called?

Transfer from left hand to right hand.

Exploiting loopholes in the rules in a reasonable way.

The most important thing is that it's reasonable!

......

Deep in the wilderness, the earthy smell mingled with the fresh scent of grass and trees.

One hundred players lined up in a fan-shaped formation, their breathing rising and falling in the quiet forest.

Mo Fang stood on a broken section of giant wood, his gaze fixed on a spot two hundred meters ahead.

There, a giant deer about four meters tall was munching on the ore on the ground.

Its fur is a deep emerald green, and its back is covered with a thick layer of brown rock armor.

【Emerald Forest Rock Deer】

[Rank: Elite]

Combat Power: 461

[Combat Rank: E]

This monster has extremely high defense and its attacks have a small-range knockback ability.

Mo Fang raised his right hand and gently tapped the hilt of the knife with his fingertips.

"Shield Warriors, enter the fray."

The command was issued instantly via the team channel.

Ten players wielding heavy shields strode out, their heavy footsteps shattering the withered branches.

These ten people are all people who have completed the first stage of genetic awakening.

Even with the lowest overall combat strength, it still has over 200.

The giant deer also sensed something was wrong and immediately stopped eating.

The huge deer head suddenly rose, and two streams of green mist shot out from its nostrils.

It sensed a threat.

"roar!"

The deer's cry carried the resounding clang of metal striking stone.

With all four hooves exerting force, its massive body transformed into a green afterimage, retreating instead of advancing.

Seeing this, Mo Fang chuckled lightly, "This monster is far too cautious..."

However, the Mexican side did not pursue them.

The direction the Green Forest Rock Deer fled was precisely the direction from which they had laid the trap.

Those who possess the abilities of rock and wood runes laid down numerous spikes along its escape route beforehand.

It can be said that from the very beginning, the Green Forest Rock Deer had no chance of retreating.

Soon, the escaped Green Forest Rock Deer returned.

"Raise the shields! Reinforce the walls!"

The captain of the first team roared.

A bright silver halo appeared on the surface of the heavy shield, an added defense provided by the user of the steel runes.

boom!

The giant deer crashed into the shield wall, and the enormous impact plowed two deep furrows in the muddy ground beneath the feet of the players in the front row.

"Hold your position steady, support, follow up!"

Whoosh!

The stone pillars rose from the ground, supporting the shield.

At the same time, a hurricane, like a pair of giant hands, supported the backs of everyone.

Mo Fang calmly observed the clash between the two sides.

Although the Deer's combat power was as high as 461, the Shield Warriors successfully offset the first wave of impact by working together to share the damage.

"Flanking group, jamming."

Thirty agile players leaped out from behind the bushes.

They did not approach the giant deer, but instead kept drawing their bows and shooting arrows.

The clanging and jingling sounds were incessant.

The arrows struck the rock armor of the Green Forest Rock Deer, sending up fine stone chips.

Unless it hits a weak point, such as the gap between the eyes and the stone armor connecting the flesh, the damage is negligible.

But this successfully angered Julu.

It abandoned the shield wall in front and turned to sweep towards its flanks.

"Disperse!"

The Mexican side's instructions were issued a second earlier.

The flanking players rolled backward in perfect unison, disappearing behind the trees.

The giant deer's attack missed, and its huge antlers crashed into the tree trunk, snapping the thick tree in half at waist height.

"Now, Awakened Ones, advance!"

Mo Fang's voice remained steady.

More than thirty members who had completed the initial genetic awakening took action.

Their speed is on a completely different level from that of ordinary players.

A burly man leaped into the air, his heavy hammer whistling through the air as he slammed it down on the giant deer's hind leg joint.

That was the weakest point of the rock armor.

boom!

A dull thud echoed throughout the stadium.

Although his combat strength was not as good as that of the Emerald Forest Rock Deer, with the help of heavy weapons, he successfully inflicted significant damage on the Emerald Forest Rock Deer.

The giant deer staggered, and traces of blood seeped from the fur on its hind legs.

It let out an angry roar, and the ground around it began to tremble violently.

next second.

Countless sharp stalagmites emerged from the soil.

"Jump!"

Mo Fang anticipated the skill's pre-cast animation.

With their superior physical abilities, the Awakened Ones leaped into the air, using tree trunks or shields as footholds.

The stalagmite pierced through the afterimage, but failed to harm the core damage dealer.

"Apply protection to wind and wood elements."

The ranged players behind began channeling their rune abilities.

A giant wind blade swept past, flattening the tip of the stalagmite.

The wood element then filled in the gaps and covered the remaining stalagmites with protective covers.

then.

Several vines emerged from the soil beneath the giant deer's feet, tightly binding its four hooves.

Although the vines kept breaking as the giant deer struggled, they successfully slowed down its movements.

Mo Fang leaped down from the giant tree.

Instead of charging straight ahead, he circled around to Julu's blind spot.

The long sword was drawn.

"All awakened ones, follow me and attack!"

The real battle isn't about you taking a hit and me taking a hit.

Instead, they seize any opportunity to attack en masse!

There is absolutely no logic to it.
