The woman in the black dress looked at Xu Mu, her tone still very cold: "Guta, you should muster up your courage."

Ok!

Ok!

If this was Black Dress's request, there was no reason for Guta to refuse.

Xu Mu still pretended to hesitate. After repeated hesitation, he suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Alright! Since it's your order, I'm willing to take the risk and lead them into the ambush."

"great."

Beret, smile.

She beckoned, saying, "Come with me, Guta. Before we begin, we need to rehearse a few times to ensure everything is perfect."

Xu Mu suppressed his ecstasy and tried his best to appear nervous: "I hope my performance will satisfy you."

Chapter 73 #072 You’re nervous!!

Black skirt, well prepared.

She led Xu Mu outside the abandoned Demon King's Palace and pointed at the surroundings, saying, "Guta, come and see. This is a small path behind the Demon King's Palace. It's hidden in the woods and difficult to find. So, it makes sense that this place is unguarded, doesn't it?"

Xu Mu looked around.

I have to say, it’s really very reasonable.

There is dense vegetation all around, and among the complex branches, leaves and thorns, there is a winding, easy-to-travel path.

Even more wonderful is——

At the end of the path is a ruined section of the city wall.

The invaders standing on the path have a wider view and can see a corner of the Demon King's Palace.

The woman in the black dress continued, "Once you gain the trust of those humans, lead them to this path. As long as they stand where we are now, they won't be able to escape! They will be trapped in the 'natural barrier' we have woven, with no chance of survival!"

Xu Mu looked at it, nodded, and said, "Brilliant! Commander in the black skirt, your plan is perfect. I feel like I'm witnessing a great victory!"

"..."

The woman in the black skirt gave Xu Mu a strange look.

When did this ancient pagoda become so talkative?

According to rumors, hasn't this spineless man always been timid and fearful?

But in her excitement, she didn't think much about it.

Xu Mu didn't give her a chance to think. He asked, "Then, Commander in Black Dress, how can I gain the trust of those humans?"

"Oh, this? This isn't that difficult."

rub!

Black skirt, pulled out a dagger.

She said expressionlessly, "We need to stage a self-torture tactic. Our 'Owl' is monitoring those humans. We will send you to the vicinity of those humans and hunt you down in front of them. Once you are close enough to those humans, I will throw the dagger and stick it in this spot."

The woman in the black skirt raised her arm and put the dagger against Xu Mu's heart.

Xu Mu glanced down and said, "Commander in the black skirt, this is the heart. Generally speaking, if a knife is stuck in the heart, the human will die."

The woman in the black dress smiled. "This isn't the heart. This is one centimeter away from the heart. There are healers among those human adventurers. You won't die."

"What if you accidentally stab me in the heart?"

"I never miss a shot! There's no chance of me missing!"

As the two were talking, a leaf suddenly fell.

A cold light flashed in the eyes of the woman in the black dress. Without seeing her make the "aiming" action, she suddenly shook her hand and threw the dagger in her hand -

"Duh!"

The dagger turned into a black line and was nailed into the trunk of a tree, sinking into it up to the handle.

The naturally falling leaves shook unnaturally. Xu Mu turned his head and saw that the leaf suddenly split into two.

Take a closer look——

Oh!

Good technique!

The leader in black dress had superb knife throwing skills. She threw the knife along the edge of the leaf, splitting a leaf into two thinner leaves.

"Snap, snap, snap."

Xu Mu clapped his hands and said, "Incredible skills! Leader in black skirts... can I trust you?"

"Of course you can."

Black dress, smiling.

She looked at Xu Mu and said, "Guta, after you finish this, you won't have to be a cook anymore. I need an officer to handle all kinds of documents for me. You can be my officer!"

Oh?

This black skirt, did she say this on purpose, or was it just a casual remark?

If the real Guta heard this, he would probably want to cut out his heart and stomach to show his loyalty, right?

"This...hehe."

Xu Mu seemed a little at a loss.

He didn't know where to put his hands. He scratched his head and touched his neck, saying, "Commander in the black skirt, I won't let you down!"

The woman in the black dress smiled and nodded. "I understand your loyalty and... your intentions. We still have a few things to accomplish before our plan can truly be implemented."

"Work?"

Xu Mu was slightly stunned and understood the meaning of the black skirt!

Since it is a self-torture tactic, Xu Mu will of course be injured.

Seriously injured.

If you think about it, it makes perfect sense.

Xu Mu is about to play a "traitor". If the betrayer is seriously injured, his credibility will naturally increase greatly!

Don't you see--

When Huang Gai, an old man in his seventies, pretended to surrender, Zhou Yu whipped him, let alone the young Xu Mu?

Forbearance!

Everything is for escape, getting punched a few times is no big deal!

The dawn of victory is just before us. As long as we contact the rescue team and pass the information to them, we will surely be well protected!

If you get hit by a few punches now, you could lose your life!

Xu Mu took a deep breath and said, "Commander in the black skirt, everything is according to the plan."

The girl in the black dress nodded and smiled, "Yes. Guta, you need to practice your acting skills."

"..."

ha?

The girl in the black dress placed her hand on her chest and continued, "Before my home was burned down by humans, I aspired to be an actor. I spent a long time honing my acting skills. Next, I will teach you how to act and how to deceive those humans."

what--

That’s okay!

Xu Mu looked around and said, "Shall we start now?"

"Clap clap."

The girl in the black dress clapped her hands and said to the bushes, "Come out, we're starting our first rehearsal."

……

……

"Which way to go!"

"You traitor! Stop it!"

A quiet path in the forest.

Among the lush branches and leaves.

A "hunting team" consisting of centaurs, gnolls, elves, and several modified humans roared and chased after Xu Mu who was desperately fleeing.

Xu Mu ran around staggeringly, trying his best to put himself into the role of a "fugitive" and try to complete a perfect performance.

According to the black skirt's script, Xu Mu had to complete three stages:

The first stage is "appearance".

Xu Mu will appear in front of the human rescue team without any warning. From the time the rescue team members "hear the sound" to the time they "see the human figure", this stage is the "appearance".

The woman in the black dress stood there with a stern expression, watching Xu Mu jump and land in front of her.

Xu Mu panted and asked, "How is the commander in black skirt?"

"Ugh."

The woman in the black dress shook her head and said bluntly, "Guta, your performance was terrible. If you had appeared like that just now, people would have probably seen through your flaws at a glance."

"..."

what?

Xu Mu was puzzled.

The woman in the black dress spread her hands and emphasized, "Where's your 'nervousness'? Where's your 'fear'? I don't see any emotion in your body language. You're a fugitive, you should be very scared!"

"..."

What is this elf saying?

I can't even understand it.

Xu Mu hugged his chest and said, "I think I'm very nervous."

"What do you think is the point? You want others to think you are nervous! Alas——"

The black dress shook her head.

She said, "Let me show you, and you pay attention to my details."

Chapter 74 #073 I guess that’s not necessary!

"Which way to go!"

"You traitor! Stop it!"

The same scene happened again in the forest.

The only difference was that the person standing there was Xu Mu, and the one being "hunted" was the one in the black skirt—

have to say.

As expected, she is a woman who aspires to be an actress and claims to have honed her acting skills.

The moment the elf made her move, she revealed a completely different aura. Every gesture she made was a performance. Xu Mu knew it was all an act, but the moment he saw the expression on the black dress's face, his emotions were shaken.

Anxious about the black dress situation.

Worried about the safety of the black skirt.

Every move she made was filled with urgency, and every step she took seemed like she was looking for a way out for herself. She seemed to be really in a crisis, and if she relaxed, she would be doomed.

Only after she leaped in front of Xu Mu, suppressed all the panic on her face and regained her cold expression, did Xu Mu come to his senses.
