This assassin is upright

Chapter 131 War Correspondent Duo!

"I?"

Sarath pointed at himself in disbelief.

"Go to the [Human Circle]?!"

"Hmm..." Yu Zhun nodded heavily, while the other members couldn't help but smile strangely.

"We need someone in the Human Circle to make contact with the humans there." Yu Zhun explained his idea, "Perhaps we can use this method to know the fixed location of the spring in advance and destroy it quietly without the other teams knowing."

"This way, not only can we safely obtain more spring tokens, but we can also finish the instance that takes 15 days to complete early."

Even though the higher the level of the dungeon, the longer it takes, there are still very few Lv40 dungeons like [Troll Valley] that take half a month.

This is also the main reason why Yu Zhun thinks there is a way to pass the customs quickly.

Yu Zhun’s words made sense. After listening to his analysis, Salas also felt that there might be other secrets in the [Human Circle].

Just when he was tempted, Su Hong raised his hand.

"If Sarath doesn't want to, I'll do it." Su Hong smiled and patted Sarath's shoulder. "I'm quite interested in this mission."

Sarath was shocked.

[Human Circle] Who can get used to living in that kind of dirty and smelly environment?

Seeing that he was somewhat reluctant, Su Hong actually took the initiative to propose...

"Brother Su Hong, let me do it!"

Sarath suddenly straightened his back with a determined look, "Leave this kind of mission to me!"

"Let me do it." Su Hong shook his head and was about to say something, but Yu Zhun couldn't help but interrupt him.

"Stop arguing, both of you." Yu Zhun said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "What's there to argue about? I was planning to let you two go together anyway."

Sarath: “?”

Su Hong: “?”

"Although the wandering trolls will not cause harm to the attacking players, they will only capture the attacking players into the [Human Circle] and prevent them from escaping. However, the players are not absolutely safe in the [Human Circle]."

Yu Zhun looked at the two of them and paused for a moment. "Because there may be other players who are also caught in the [Human Circle], and these players who are caught in the [Human Circle] can cause harm to us."

Sarath has no means of output, so Yu Zhun certainly can't really let him go alone.

Su Hong went along to protect Sarath.

Moreover, Yu Zhun had observed that among the six members of his own guild, Su Hong could rank third in the ability to analyze the plot of the dungeon.

The second one is the rich woman, and the first one is naturally himself.

As for why we don’t allow rich women to go to [Human Circle]…

He was afraid that the rich woman would kill him with a [Explosion].

No, after changing her job to [Arcane Mage], the rich woman no longer bothered to use [Explosive Flame], and instead used the higher-level skill [Purgatory Explosive Flame].

In short, when Su Hong arrives at the [Human Circle], he should be able to find some clues that Sarath cannot find on his own.

Su Hong and Sarath looked at each other and accepted this very compromising arrangement.

Before entering the [Human Circle], some preparations need to be made. Sarath took out a bunch of props and fiddled with them for a long time, while Su Hong got a lot of food from Su Yue. The latter was afraid that the two would suffer in the [Human Circle], so she took out half of the good things in her backpack.

Everything was ready, and the two, escorted by others, slowly walked towards a troll wandering on the edge of the valley.

Seeing the crowd, excitement appeared in the troll's eyes. He let out a strange roar and rushed towards them.

"Let's go, brothers. We'll keep in touch." Salas put on a fearless expression and strode in front, but was hugged by a troll that was five or six meters tall.

Under the gaze of everyone, the troll skillfully took out a hemp rope from his waist, tied Sarath's legs, and hung him upside down on his shoulders.

Sarath: “…”

Su Hong: “…”

Others: “…”

"yue!"

Pressing close to the troll's exposed lower back, looking at the tangled hair on the troll's purple-black skin and smelling the strange smell entering his nose, Sarath's face turned green instantly and he couldn't help but retching.

"I will take good care of him." Su Hong shook his head helplessly, looking at the troll who was setting off to return, and followed closely behind him.

The troll, who was about to go back to call more companions to catch people, looked at Su Hong who was following him obediently, was stunned for a moment, then forced a smile on his ferocious face, and swaggered away over the mountains and hills.

"Ah~ Stop shaking!! Damn~yue..."

Amid Sarath's screams, the demon and his two companions walked away.

"Next, we will find a place to stay and wait for their good news." Yu Zhun smiled and took out the [Communication Button]. "With Su Hong here, it won't be a big problem."

Everyone looked away with strange expressions and nodded in unison.

A second of silence for Sarath.
-
The trolls' huge bodies and special body structure make them very suitable for crossing mountains and rivers. In the huge map Troll Valley where strategy players can't find the way, the trolls are familiar with the route and can even find some shortcuts.

Soon, Sarath and Su Hong, led by the troll, arrived at the troll's base camp.

Looking at the tens of thousands of trolls moving around in the base camp, roaring and screaming like primitive people, both of them looked a little nervous.

The last time I saw so many monsters was in [Tide of Red Moon], and the oppressive feeling of the trolls was much stronger than those demonized creatures.

If these monsters showed their health bars, both of them would be killed instantly.

However, this dangerous scene did not actually happen.

The troll that captured people returned to the tribe, roaring in boastful manner, just like a hunter who had returned successfully from hunting and showed off his prey.

Seeing that there were two humans following the other party, the other trolls also showed surprised expressions and beat their chests and roared.

Soon, a female troll strode over, glanced at the two of them, pointed in a certain direction, and uttered a few strange syllables.

"The second [circle of people] in the northeast corner."

The troll who was arresting people nodded, picked up the lifeless and lost Sarath again, and strode towards the destination indicated by the female troll.

Su Hong was tactful enough to follow behind, thus avoiding the tragic situation of being packed up and taken away by the other trolls.

Soon, the two of them actually came into the so-called [circle of people].

It was an area of ​​only a few hundred square meters, but it was huddled with hundreds of people. Each person had only one or two square meters of narrow space, and there was not even a special place to solve the hygiene problem.

The ground was filled with excrement and had a strong stench. The trough nearby was empty.

A troll poured in some so-called food that looked completely unappetizing, and immediately skinny people rushed forward to grab it.

Their numb faces seemed to have some human greedy expressions only at this moment.

Under the troll's push, Sarath and Su Hong walked into the [human circle] silently, covering their mouths and noses, and squatted in a slightly cleaner corner.

What is more depressing than the environment is the situation of those people who look like them but actually live like animals.

Sarath quietly took out two nose plugs from his backpack and handed one to Su Hong. Wearing the nose plug did not hinder breathing, but the stench that filled his mouth and nose quickly faded.

Su Hong gave Sarath a grateful look, and then whispered, "Let's observe the situation first and see if there is anyone who can communicate with us and understand the rules of the [Human Circle]."

Sarath nodded, and then suddenly said, "I feel like that person over there can communicate."

"He's been watching us since we came in."

"Hmm?" Following Sarath's gaze, Su Hong quickly saw the person he was pointing at.

He was a young man who was equally thin, but at least he had used rough linen to cover important parts of his body. Unlike his numb compatriots, his eyes remained quite clear.

Seeing Sarath and Su Hong looking at him at the same time, the young man hesitated for a moment, then stood up step by step from the corner where he was squatting, and finally walked in front of the two of them, stretching out his dirty hands towards them.

"I am Kadar, a [Defender]."

"【Defender】?" Su Hong's eyes lit up when he heard this unfamiliar term, and he immediately held the other person's hand, "What does this mean?"

"It means people who haven't given up hope." The young man sat down next to the two men again, looking at his compatriots who were like livestock with complicated eyes, "Many of them have given up hope and can only spend their lives in a muddle, and eventually become food for the trolls."

“But this isn’t our life.”

"Humanity needs [Defenders]."

“Someone needs to remember humanity’s past.”

"Then, wait for a miracle."

"…Miracle?" Su Hong suddenly remembered that this word was also mentioned in the copy introduction. "What kind of miracle do you need?"

"I don't know." Kadar showed a confused look and shook his head. "This is the darkest moment, the final words of the great sage."

Su Hong wanted to ask more, but Sarath pulled him back.

"The miracle should refer to the destruction of the thirty-six springs." Sarath whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Su Hong understood.

According to the plot, after the thirty-six springs are destroyed, the humans in the [Human Circle] will launch a counterattack and start a war between humans and demons.

Su Hong didn't feel much about this before, but now he has realized that the people who started this war between humans and demons cannot be those who are in a daze and no longer regard themselves as human beings.

It can only be that they are scattered among the [circles of people], such as the [defenders] like Kadar.

Perhaps they saw the trolls' weakness, so they seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

This can indeed be considered a "miracle". After all, if there had been no intervention from the strategy players, the spring would not have been destroyed.

Su Hong did not forget to use the [Communication Button] to pass the new information he had just obtained to Yu Zhun and others outside the valley. He then asked, "I see there is drinking water here. Where does this water come from?"

"The Fountain of Life." Kadar answered casually, "It is the source of power for the trolls and the only source of water nearby."

He clenched his fists slightly, with a gleam in his eyes. "There are thirty-six such springs in total. If they can be destroyed, the power of the trolls will be weakened to the extreme. Unfortunately, no one can do it."

Su Hong and Sarath looked at each other and said nothing.

This is the intelligence they already have.

Maybe the person who first obtained this information got into the [circle of people] through a method similar to theirs.

"Who draws water from the spring?" Sarath asked impatiently, "Us?"

"Everyone take turns." Kadar glanced at Sarath, "There are hundreds of [Human Circles] in this valley. Four [Human Circles] will take turns every day. Everyone in the [Human Circle] must go to the thirty-six fountains of life to fetch water. This will last for a whole day."

Hundreds of [circles]? 4 per day?
In this case, wouldn't it take nearly a month for it to be your turn?

The light in Sarath and Su Hong's eyes quickly dimmed.

The next moment, they heard Kadar speak slowly.

"You have bad luck. In two days it will be our turn." He shook his head and sighed, "Everyone is weak. Many people will die on the way over the mountains and hills."

There was light in their eyes again.

bad luck?

This is such good luck!

It only takes two days!
At that time, there were only 6 public spring locations.

And they can get the locations of the remaining 30 springs!

After getting this most important information, the two of them finally felt that their hard work in entering the [human circle] was not in vain!
Without saying a word, Su Hong immediately transmitted this crucial information to his friends outside the valley.
-
“They really found a clue!”

Ji Xiaoyu spoke happily, her eyes full of smiles, "Two days later, can we get 30 spring tokens in advance?"

There are only 36 springs in total, and 30 of them were acquired in advance.

First place in strategy points is a foregone conclusion.

The [Moon-Eating Wolf] on the side also showed admiration. This unique strategy opened their eyes.

Enter the [circle of people] and others will avoid you.

But there actually was important information there.

Only Yu Zhun did not show much joy on his face.

With a thoughtful light in his eyes, he quickly picked up the [Communication Button] and asked two seemingly meaningless questions.

[Yu Zhun: Before entering the current [circle of people], have you passed by other [circles of people]? ]

[Su Hong: We were the second one in the northeast corner, and we passed a [circle of people] on the way.]

[Yu Zhun: Is there any difference between that [circle of people] and your [circle of people], for example, is that one more crowded?]

【Su Hong: No, they are all about the same. 】

Seeing Su Hong's answer, Yu Zhun put down the button thoughtfully.

"President, what's wrong?" Su Yue couldn't help but speak.

She was originally happy about her cousin's performance, but when she saw Yu Zhun's expression, she felt that everything was not that simple.

"I suspect that the [Human Circle] that you are sent to after being taken away by the troll is not fixed, but random." Yu Zhun said slowly, "It is possible that you are lucky and it is your turn to fetch water before twelve days. It is also possible that you are unlucky and it is not your turn within the twelve days of the strategy."

"It doesn't matter." Su Yue blinked, "Even if it's random, we are the lucky ones."

"No, it does matter."

Ji Xiaoyu, who was standing by, had already understood what Yu Zhun wanted to say, "A normal attack route should be precise and stable."

If in a copy, the last thing to do is to roll the dice, and rolling a specified number means the strategy is successful, and rolling any other number means the strategy fails, how ridiculous is that?
If Yu Zhun's guess is correct, then it means...

At present, Su Hong and Salas's discovery can only be regarded as a lucky Easter egg for the [Troll Valley] dungeon.

With some luck, you can gain some advantages.

If you have bad luck, you get nothing.
