When Feng Bujue returned to the exit of the corridor, Silkworm Mother was nowhere to be seen, and Uncle Waste Chai was also missing.
Looking up, the silk mesh they had just cut had been restored to its original shape. If you look closely, you can see...the broken parts have been filled with fresh, lighter-colored new silk.
"What's going on..." Feng Bujue pondered, "Have you been captured?" He glanced at the game menu again. In the team column, the status of the good-for-nothing uncle was still [Surviving], "Should I escape on my own?"
It fell..."
While Brother Jue was thinking, he began to survey the details of the surrounding environment. His eyes first stopped on the body of Queen Daodie, and he murmured: "It hasn't moved at all..." Then he raised his eyes to scan again.
The nearby crystal pillar, "The damage on the crystal pillar is also the same as when we left..."
"Hmm... It doesn't look like there was a fierce battle." Feng Bujue touched his chin and thought, "Is he really being controlled..."
Suddenly, Brother Jue saw something again. He immediately took a few steps forward and squatted down: "This cigarette butt..." He picked up a cigarette butt on the ground and took it in his hand to look at it carefully. "This is undoubtedly useless.
It was left by my uncle, assuming... he lit up the cigarette as soon as we left, and then used words to deal with the BOSS, then... judging from the degree of burning, the cigarette fell to the ground after about two minutes.
"
"But..." Feng Bujue put down his cigarette butt and stood up, "The time when Honghu and the others were 'controlled' was after running for about five minutes. Could it be..." He looked up at the sky again.
Silk screen, "... Could it be that the BOSS's ability to use silk to 'control' others will cause a certain delay as the distance becomes longer?"
"Hey! Are you okay?" At this time, a wild voice came.
Feng Bujue turned around and saw that Brother Xiaoma, Jibu and Honghu were also running over.
"Why don't you guys rest a little longer?" Brother Jue asked calmly.
"How can a hero keep people in trouble waiting?" Tianma Xingkong replied loudly.
I have to say that this guy is really powerful. He had faced the crisis of his physical fitness reaching zero just a few minutes ago, but now he seems to be full of energy again.
"Has uncle good-for-nothing been arrested?" Although Honghu was sweating, he could barely maintain his normal state. His thinking ability was not affected, so he asked a more constructive question as soon as he opened his mouth. "
You have already observed the scene, have you come to any conclusions?"
"It's probably because he was kidnapped by the BOSS." Feng Bujue shrugged. "Anyway, judging from the team column, 'death' is a situation that can be ruled out directly."
"Then there's a 20% chance that..." Honghu adjusted his glasses and asked tentatively, "... Uncle Good-for-nothing escaped from the BOSS's control with his own strength, but he's missing now?"
"Yes." Feng Bujue replied, "If it were anyone else, the 20% probability would not exist, but Uncle Good-for-nothing... it might be possible."
"Hmm~ Well, that guy with sunglasses is unfathomable." Tianma Xingkong nodded in agreement.
"Huh...then what should we do now?" Atobe finally breathed evenly and said, "Should we go find him?"
"Of course." Tianma Xingkong immediately replied, "How can a righteous hero abandon his companions?"
"First of all, I'm not a hero." Feng Bujue continued with empty eyes. "Secondly, at least in the game, I belong to the evil camp..." He licked his lips, "But... considering the new main line
The mission never appeared, and besides looking for the good-for-nothing uncle, we seemed to have nothing else to do."
"Eh~" At this moment, Atobu seemed to suddenly think of something and interrupted, "Do you think Uncle Good-for-nothing escaped back to the corridor?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone instinctively turned their heads to look at the exit of the corridor.
"Don't tell me...it's really possible in a desperate situation," Honghu thought.
"If that's the case, he probably won't be able to escape very far." Feng Bujue said as he walked towards the corridor, "Because it's impossible to chase the giant silkworm in. Uncle Good-for-nothing only needs to stay closer to the exit.
A nearby place. Just wait until the BOSS leaves and then come out."
[Warning, the front is filled with energy from the defensive array.]
As soon as Brother Jue reached the exit of the corridor, before he even stepped in, the system prompt rang.
"Okay... It seems that this hypothesis can be ruled out." Feng Bujue immediately turned back and explained the situation to his teammates.
Everyone also came over to give it a try, and each heard the system prompts.
"This corroborates our previous speculation." Feng Bujue said, "The last main line mission did not mention 'obliterate', that's why. If we haven't come out of the corridor when the mission time limit is over, we must defend ourselves.
The magic circle will be activated, and then the group will be destroyed..."
"Forget it..." Honghu continued, "At least we are sure that Uncle Good-for-nothing is still in this crystal maze, and we are also sure... there is no way back for us."
[The main mission has been updated]
[Side mission has been triggered]
Just as the four of them were discussing the next direction of action, mission reminders suddenly came, and there were two at once.
They all opened the game menu and looked at the task bar. The new main and side tasks were: [Arrive at the Cage of Despair] and [Arrive at the Nest of the Silkworm Mother before Uncle Good-for-nothing dies (or leaves the script for other reasons).
rescue it]
"Hey...there are no restrictions on the main mission this time..." Atobe said, "Not only is there no mention of 'erasure', there is no 'time limit' either?"
"Ha...it looks a lot more relaxed, right?" Feng Bujue said with a wry smile, "But if you think about it...this is a scam!"
"Yes, the time limit is not only a restriction, but also a reminder." Honghu continued, "From the time limit given by the system... we can infer the approximate distance between the task target and ourselves, as well as the time required to handle the task.
The average time." He paused for a second and swallowed, "And the current main task has no prompts at all, just a simple sentence... This is much more difficult than the previous ones.
.”
"It's better not to study the main plot yet." Tianma Xingkong interjected, "Rescuing the righteous partners is the top priority!"
"Ah... you're right, let's consider the branch line first." Feng Bujue muttered feebly, "Now the system has told us the situation of the good-for-nothing uncle. Judging from the mission content, he probably won't last long...
