Chapter 539: What a pity that the little rascal called me brother today

It's no problem to get a few ordinary Xu Crystals by knocking them down.

Turn a blind eye and let it go without turning it over.

But the potential impact on Snake Xujing is different. Shadow Escape ability must not be leaked out, and the whereabouts of every ruin crystal must be recorded, and it is not allowed to be taken out of the square without permission.

That's why Nie Wei is so anxious.

The fog dissipated, and the regular army was coming soon. If they found out, there would be no profit to be gained.

"Fuck! Why is this one empty too?"

Nie Wei searched frantically and pulled out more than a dozen dead snakes, but couldn't find a single Xu Crystal.

His luck was really bad, he just happened to dig through the pile of snakes that had sucked the crystals away.

Zhong Yuan looked at the anxious look on his face and said softly, "Brother Zhenxing."

Nie Wei looked up blankly as if he had been electrocuted. He thought he was hallucinating, and said in a daze, "What did you call me? Did you call me brother?"

Zhong Yuan said with an innocent face, "You could have used synergy on me just now, but you didn't do that. Why?"

ah? ? ?

Nie Wei was stunned and said dullly, "Really? When did it happen?"

"Yes," Zhong Yuan said, "You just held my shoulders."

Because the fog ahead is too heavy, we must walk closely together to avoid getting separated. Therefore, the three-meter distance rule explained by Mr. Bai has long been broken.

Then, someone suddenly discovered that the little villain was a genius. He was so excited that he subconsciously pressed the button! live! shoulder! bladder!

Nie Wei's mind was buzzing and he suddenly fell into a state of shutdown.

Grass! I forgot, there is such a thing!

Zhong Yuan said softly again, "I know that you wanted to use synergy on me before, but you didn't believe that I had the ultimate wish."

"Now, you recognize my strength and treat me as a companion. So, you respect my wishes and won't be like before, right?"

Nie Wei looked at him blankly, with mixed feelings in his heart. He didn't know what he was feeling.

——How can I be as good as you say? What companionship respects trust? I...I really just forgot!

Zhong Yuan listened to his thoughts and said, "Don't pick it up. The team of Xu Neng will be here soon. Let's go."

"But...well, okay!"

Nie Wei's heart was bleeding and he was extremely reluctant to give up. But the little bad guy called me brother today...

The three people left quickly. Before leaving, Nie Wei kicked away the pile of dead snakes without crystals.

Unlucky thing, really unlucky!

Hundreds of dead snakes were flying in all directions, and there seemed to be a lot of flashes of light falling from the snake corpses...

Damn it?

It's Xu Jing!

When Nie Wei saw it, he was immediately furious and went crazy. He was about to chase after him, but was forcefully pulled away by Zhong Yuan.

"Forget it! The ability of Shadow Escape is not suitable for a defense system as wise as yours!"

Real or fake?

Nie Wei's eyes lit up and his mood became more complicated.

Money cannot buy my happiness.

Today, the cold little villain not only called me brother, but also certified that I am a wise, divine, and defensive type!

Without the potential influence, Snake Xujing seems to be less sad...

A few minutes later, two elite teams rushed to the place where Zhong Yuan was attacked.

There were too many potential snakes gathered on the main battlefield, and the headquarters decided to separate them one by one.

First eliminate the snakes scattered in other areas, and finally focus on the area with the heaviest fog.

Unexpectedly, the thick fog disappeared all of a sudden.

What's going on?

The two teams, attracted by the unusual situation, were puzzled. They looked around and quickly found clues.

Ten times the magnetic force was suppressed, and a clear boundary was formed on the ground.

"Captain, there are traces of battle here!"

"I'll go! There are so many corpses of potential snakes! The crystals are still there! They haven't been taken away!"

"Collect them quickly! Don't miss any of them!"

Everyone was overjoyed.

I wonder if the latent influence snake that the team killed was so careless that they didn't even pick up the Xu Crystal.

Since no one can claim the merit, whoever grabs it belongs to him!

After a few minutes, hundreds of dead snakes were gathered together.

I took a quick inventory.

There are 249 snakes in total, but only 138 Xu crystals!

There are 111 pieces missing. What’s going on?

The two teams gathered together and looked at each other with ugly expressions.

They were the first ones to come here and find the snake corpse and Xu crystal.

If the numbers don't match up, they are the first to be suspicious.

Maybe there are some little snakes that haven't condensed crystals yet, but there are too many of them, and there's no way to explain them by this reason.

There is only one possibility left.

The person who killed these snakes deliberately left most of the more than a hundred Ruin Crystals for himself to be picked up by those who came after him.

Of course, the blame will be taken by those who come after, unless they just pretend that they didn't see these ruin crystals and don't need any military exploits.

The two captains looked at each other and reached a tacit agreement.

Serve cold.

Destroy the rattlesnake carcasses without crystals and conceal the true number.

They reported 138 ruin crystals, and the 111 that disappeared had nothing to do with them.

Are you smart enough to think you can steal the Xu Crystal?

Stop dreaming!

You have to be checked when you go out of the square. If you are found out, you will be in bad luck!

In this way, the military exploits were falsely claimed.

After the biggest piece of fog was resolved, the pressure on the front line was greatly relieved.

When the news reached the headquarters, everyone rejoiced, as if they had seen the dawn of victory.

"Well done! The rattlesnake in Area C was finally killed!"

"Teams Liu Kan and Xie Yang are both good people. When the Xu Cave is closed, we must apply for medals for them!"

"Haha, at least we can get hundreds of potential Snake Ruins Crystals this time!"

Everyone in the command center had an excited smile on their faces.

Yang Zongsheng had returned after making the call.

Looking at these people celebrating in advance, with a look of confidence, he felt an unspeakable uneasiness in his heart.

Did you overlook an important intelligence?

The Monitoring Bureau sent a warning ten minutes ago that the energy level of the Ruins Cave has been fluctuating, and it is very likely to turn into a red-level Ruins Cave. How can we start celebrating now?

Yang Zongsheng turned and left in silence.

Chief of Staff Zhuo Maoxue glanced at him and was about to keep him, but the commander beside him snorted and said, "The overall situation has been decided, let him go."

At the same time, Zhong Yuan, Nie Wei and Qiu Yi headed towards Jiulong Cave.

Looking far away, the terraced fields on the hillside in the distance had long been abandoned.

The houses built in the valley seemed to maintain the appearance when the villagers retreated, but in fact they were in disrepair and dilapidated.

The closer he got to Jiulong Cave, the more strange Zhong Yuan felt.

The coffin embedded in the cliff can be seen with the naked eye.

Suddenly, Mr. Bai's voice sounded on Channel 99.

"What's the situation in Xudong? Hmm? Gold bar boy? Who are you?"

Qiu Yi hurriedly greeted, "I'm Qiu Yi, hello!"

"So you're the child of Mr. Qiu. Why are you here too?"

Qiu Yi said bravely, "I'm acting with Yang Sheng. I want to protect him."

"Very good, remember what you said today, don't let me down."
