Chapter 1769 Just standing by and watching?
"They're fighting on both sides? What the hell is going on here!?"
The black whale sensed the rapidly approaching wave of black flames from afar, and its black face turned almost white with fright!
If his memory serves him correctly, then the one driving the black flames should be Taotie, the manager of the Star-Picking Tower.
But didn't that guy say he only wanted to target the Xingheng Clan?
Why are you getting involved now?
It can't be that he got carried away and wanted to join in the fun because he saw them fighting so fiercely, right?
This is absolutely insane!
wrong,
Taotie seems to have been crazy all along?!
Even the black whale, who had once sat down and talked face-to-face with Taotie, couldn't figure out the purpose of Taotie's sudden appearance.
Yongye was even more confused.
Sensing the soul weapon being continuously destroyed by the black flames, He silently asked Li Luo:
"You should be able to handle the Taotie, right?"
"Yes, Master, he is no match for me." Li Luo's reply came quickly, without any emotional fluctuation.
It is filled with pure reason:
Should we kill him first?
Yongye pondered for a moment, then shook his head:
"Need not."
"Since he is no match for you, let's observe him for now."
"Your primary task is still to protect me and ensure that I can win the battle to become a god and ascend to the throne."
"Understood." Li Luo nodded, her scarlet eyes scanning the surroundings, wary of any potential enemies.
Yongye thought for a moment, then took out two life-saving items and placed them aside. He then began to manipulate the black mist to assist the black whale.
With the help of Eternal Night, the pressure on the Black Whale was immediately reduced by more than half.
However, they still need to keep dodging and escaping, and cannot launch a counterattack.
But at this point, he wasn't in a hurry anymore.
They simply tried to preserve their strength and accumulate power, while watching the Taotie arrive from afar.
If that guy is here to help the other side, then he should immediately concentrate his firepower on Ao Zhan and try to kill him in the shortest possible time to seize the godhood.
If Taotie came to help Yongye, then it's either because it's out of its mind to provoke both sides.
So he continued to pretend to work hard, dawdle, and wait for an opportunity to kill Xu Xiao or Matilda.
In any case, the ultimate goal is to get Black Whale to enter the state of godhood first.
They're not three-year-olds; they can't possibly believe Yongye's empty promises.
Should we let that guy become a god first?
Black Whale might be the first to die!
"Fortunately, my authority of 'sacrifice' can create miracles and forcibly fuse divine essences of different attributes; otherwise, it would have been quite troublesome..."
Black Whale muttered something to himself, and the next second he noticed a pair of scarlet eyes looking at him from the other side of Eternal Night.
Immediately, his mind was stirred again, and he shut down his thoughts.
It's best to avoid dwelling on unnecessary thoughts.
If someone manages to read my mind, things won't be good.
The black flame wave approached very quickly.
Before long, the Taotie, also enveloped in black flames, entered the battlefield where the chosen ones of the gods were fighting.
However, to everyone's surprise, the uninvited manager of Zhaixinglou did not take any extreme actions.
He simply floated on the edge of the battlefield, as quiet as the black flames on the ground that had ceased to throb.
His calm demeanor made it seem as if his previous madman-like behavior of setting fires and provoking both sides was not something he had done at all.
The black whale was dumbfounded once again.
A coin has two sides; if you toss it up, it will either land heads or tails.
But to his utter surprise, the Taotie, this 'coin,' actually managed to stand firmly upright!
So what next?
Should we concentrate our firepower and launch a fierce attack on Ao Zhan?
Or should we continue to dawdle and wait for an opportunity to see if we can find a weakness in Xu Xiao or Matilda?
What if Taotie suddenly attacks when Black Whale makes his choice?
The black whale was very conflicted.
On the other hand, doubts also arose.
"What's going on with Taotie? Why is it just standing there watching?"
Ao Zhan touched his round belly and asked in confusion.
Because the pressure of the battle had just eased, he quickly switched the possessing deity.
Replace Hou Yi, who excels at long-range attacks, with Zhu Bajie, who has the strongest physique.
It repairs damage sustained in battle and also quickly restores stamina.
Although it looks like a Palu pigman, it is honest and simple, and doesn't seem very smart.
In reality, Zhu Bajie is one of the few deities among all the possession options that can enhance Ao Zhan's mental attributes and make his thinking more flexible.
Based on the information he had previously obtained and after a brief analysis, Ao Zhan quickly figured out most of the truth.
However, due to their status as participants in the war, it was inconvenient for them to issue orders directly.
After all, the battle to become a god is still ongoing.
If we let Ao Zhan command the overall situation, and he dies the next second, the other players will be leaderless.
So all I can do right now is send my ideas to Pan Xiaoxiao and let her take charge of the planning.
"Did Taotie come here specifically to wait? With Elisa's arrival on Earth and the start of the battle for godhood, it's very likely that Lady Luck will intervene in the real world?"
Pan Xiaoxiao looked at the string of messages that popped up rapidly on the data panel, her expression hesitant.
Just now, she received a message from Lin Qinxue.
This was a reminder that Taotie had left the Frost Territory and might be heading towards the capital, urging them to be careful.
They also said it was most likely aimed at Elisa.
It now appears that the first half of the information provided by Ao Zhan and Lin Qinxue is largely consistent.
Taotie left Frostland, where it had always stayed, because Elisa arrived on Earth.
However, it's impossible to accurately predict what actions Taotie will take next.
All we can do is wait.
"Regardless, this place is no longer a place for ordinary players..."
Pan Xiaoxiao muttered something to herself, handed Jin Guoxun to the Imperial Guard members who had come to his aid, and gave a deep order:
"All members of the Imperial Guard are to enter a state of first-level combat readiness, defend as much as possible, preserve their strength, and refrain from launching any attacks."
"Still defending?" one of the Imperial Guard members shouted out upon hearing the order.
"The entire Earth is in complete chaos, and the situation in the other three star sectors isn't much better!"
"At a time like this, are we still going to play defensively?!"
Before Pan Xiaoxiao could explain, the team leader immediately reprimanded his teammates loudly:
"This is Manager Pan's order, not something to discuss with you!"
"Don't forget who you are loyal to! And what was your purpose in joining the Eclipse Guard!"
"Yes, Captain." The Imperial Guard member who was being reprimanded looked resentful, but he kept quiet and quickly got to work.
"Xiaoxiao, what are you still doing here? Come with me!" Jin Guoxun urged urgently, seeing that Pan Xiaoxiao didn't seem to intend to leave.
"There's nothing we can do to help with the situation here!"
