Chapter 7 Strategic Shift
"No." There were at least thirteen ways to persuade the other party in his mind, but in the end Xiuer sighed, "That's why I'm asking now."

This is the most direct and least flattering answer.Language skills can indeed make your words very convincing, but you also have to master the timing. Sometimes ten thousand beautiful words are not as good as the most direct request. At least Shuer believes that this is the time now.

however……

"Then I'm sorry, I don't agree." Mia's tone was very cold and there was no room for negotiation.

Xiure was not angry, he just pursed his lips and looked at her silently.

"If you want to know the reason, okay, I'll tell you." Mia snorted coldly and said with a straight face, "You don't think that evenly dividing the numbers can ensure that everyone lasts the same amount of time, do you?"

"Like me, who specializes in alchemy and has an alchemical potion effect bonus of 40.00%. You want me to take the same number of breath-holding potions as others?"

"That nonsense-talking dwarf carries at least 15 kilograms of stuff on his back. When he runs, he needs to inhale a lot of gas nutrients to supply his body. The nutrients provided by a bottle of breath-holding potion can be supplied to others for [-] minutes, but it takes up to [-] minutes for him. .”

"The deer over there is half human and half tree. It can supply gas nutrients by itself. The consumption in human form is only half of that of other people, and the tree form will be even less."

"Eh? A deer? And it turns out that I can live in the sun?" Forest Elf Moria pointed to her nose and said blankly, "Then who will water me? Shuer, you Help me?"

"Hmph, don't change the subject for him, I haven't finished talking yet. And that exhibitionist who commits shame every day, is polluted by dark energy, and his lungs are almost rotten. If he moves a little louder, it's like he's about to die. A bottle of With the breath-holding potion, it’s a miracle she can last 10 minutes.”

"Finally, there is yourself, Shuer, you..."

"Stop." Xiu Er said with a gloomy face, "You did it on purpose."

"Yes."

"In order to retaliate, I despise you and suspect that you are unwilling to share with everyone?"

"bingo."

Xiure narrowed his eyes and said solemnly, "Do you know the consequences of doing this?"

"Of course I know." Mia sneered several times.

"Very well, then... I'm sorry." Xiure lowered his head and said sincerely, "I apologize for my distrust of you."

Last night, no, I should say for the past few years, the thought that has been lingering in my mind countless times came to mind again.

If we could do it all over again, would we still be here?my little sister.

Why can't you trust me more?Why can't I trust you more?Then, wouldn't we be able to live happily together forever?
Xiure found that his old habit seemed to have recurred. On the surface, he valued other people's thoughts, but in fact he did not trust anyone around him. He used his seemingly diligent suspicion to carve a deep scar on the trust between them.

Wouldn't it be better to have more trust in friends, partners, relatives, and lovers?

"I'm very sorry. It was my fault and I underestimated you."

"Huh." Mia turned to look at the sea of ​​flowers in the distance and said coldly, "Since you apologize so sincerely, I will reluctantly forgive you this time."

"Eh?" Lin Jing blinked and murmured in confusion, "Is this the legendary slip of the tongue that is unique to mountain elves?"

"Go basking in your sun, you tree." Mia glared at the forest spirit who didn't know why.

"Everyone, give the breath-holding potion to Mia, and she will distribute it according to time." Ignoring the small movements of the two women, Shuer had put away his sighs and became serious again, "Sasa, are you ready?"

"It came out, but I'm still checking the calculation, I think..." The female swordsman was still so worried that the result would be wrong.

"I said there is no need to check the calculation. If you make a mistake, then no one can get it right. Report the results now, don't waste time."

"Yes, it has been marked on the map." After being scolded in public, even if they were all acquaintances, the timid female swordsman was too shy to raise her head. However, even though she was scolded, the girl had a sweet and reassuring smile on her lips. Obediently handed over the paper.

It was a hand-drawn terrain outline map. It was messy and full of auxiliary lines. But after working with it for a long time, Shuer could understand the meaning with just a glance.

The so-called range of the alien projection does not refer to the specific area of ​​the projection, but the range within which the shadow chasers can move safely.Once you exceed this range and touch the invisible boundary, you will be pulled into the endless void, and everything from body to soul will be annihilated. There is no possibility of survival.

What Saff drew was the measured safety range, with seven red dots marked on it.

If there is no qualified projection energy meter, then these can only rely on energy sensing. Once an error occurs, you may die because of crossing the line, which shows the importance of the energy meter in the team. "Seven departure points, the nearest 40 degrees to the northwest." Xiuer frowned, pondered for two seconds, and shook his head, "Don't go northwest, go northeast, go to this point, and visually measure... more than [-] kilometers."

Seure's choice was the third closest escape point, and this choice was expected by his teammates.

If you choose the nearest one, it is only less than [-] kilometers away, which is indeed much safer. But the problem is that the shadow chasers are not here for tourism. Their purpose is to explore and hunt for treasures. There is no point in just walking around and leaving.

"Target, the mountains in the northeast, Moback, confirmed."

"No problem. It can be seen from the appearance that the main bodies of those mountains are rocks, and there are even rocks directly exposed on the surface." Dwarves are natural mineral experts and geological experts, and Moback is the best among them.

"Very good. After arriving at the target, Moback and Mia opened up a shelter space in the mountain. Specific issues were sealed and the cave entrance was discussed slowly. The first step is to reach the mountain. Do you have any questions?"

Of course, there is no doubt. It would be too embarrassing to be forced to escape from the projection so easily. You must find a way to overcome the difficulties.

"Mirity, Mia is with you, you are in charge, the same as usual."

The necromancer had already wrapped herself tightly, of course not wrapping herself in white cloth like a real mummy. That would be a waste of cloth and time. From the beginning, she wore what the elf mage shared with her. Although Mia's mage's robe has always been called flat-chested, that is only relative to herself. In fact, except for being a little tight on the chest, the mage's robe is still very suitable.

After hearing the order, the necromancer made a clear gesture, took out a big bag and shook it vigorously. With a crash, a large number of bones fell from it and piled on the ground. He circled around the pile of bones to outline a strange magic circle. While chanting a mantra.

"Macajron, tell the time."

"Tell the time? Oh, that's right." The halfling took out a pocket watch stolen from an unknown ancient ruin and said, "Sixteen minutes. It has been sixteen minutes since the idiot dwarf entered."

"Very good, the time is just right." Shuer nodded, "Sasa, confirm."

"Confirmation completed, the entrance has been closed." Saff fiddled with the machine at his feet a few times and said with certainty, "The hidden danger has been eliminated."

One of the characteristics of alien projection is that when intelligent creatures pass through the entry point, the fluctuations of the advanced soul will cause interference to the already unstable entrance. After five to 15 minutes, the entrance will disappear and no one can enter again. this projection space.

Therefore, experienced shadow chasers will be very cautious when chasing shadows. As long as they do not encounter a fatal crisis as soon as they enter the door, they will definitely guard the entrance for 15 minutes to ensure that no one with malicious intentions follows them until the entrance is closed. The Shadow Man will take action only after he has completely relieved his worries.

When he accidentally entered the projection world and met Lisa, Shuer was able to make a surprise attack and kill one of the three powerful enemies with fighting spirit first, laying the foundation for the final tragic victory. It was those three people who believed that the projection There won't be anyone else in the world, so the opportunities created by letting your guard down are there.

"A perfect start, well, except for these plants." Xiure said with satisfaction, "This is the last chance before action to confirm that everything is ready, the medicines are all available, and the body is tightly wrapped. I give everyone 30 seconds to check."

"Once the strategic shift begins, the team will not stop or even slow down. So, if anyone has problems on the road due to lack of preparation, don't blame everyone for abandoning you. Remember, no one is obligated Pay for your own irresponsibility."

Although Xiu Er was speaking to everyone, his gaze was fixed on Macajron.

The young halfling never cared about anything, but now he actually felt afraid.In his eyes, who was participating in Shadow Chaser for the first time, Xiuer seemed to be a different person as soon as he entered the projection space. He was stern, cold, and merciless. This was the first time he had seen such a captain.

However, he also understood that Xiure's change was necessary. The situation in the alien projection was changing rapidly and crises were everywhere. Only by becoming so direct and efficient could he be responsible for the entire team.

"It seems that everything is ready." After 30 seconds, Xiure nodded, "Milidi, I'll give you another 30 seconds, that's enough."

"That's enough." The Necromancer's magic circle was completed and the spells were prepared. After hearing this, he immediately squatted on the spot and slapped his hands heavily on the magic circle.

"The life has passed, the soul has returned to the sea of ​​​​underworld, and the instinct is bound to the residual body. In the name of me, Meliti, I awaken the instinct of the dead sleeping in the bones and serve me."

Following the last spell guide word, a burst of dense dark energy suddenly burst out in the magic circle, and a large amount of black mist gushed out from the magic circle, covering people's sight.

In the dark fog, there was only the sound of bones colliding, but in everyone's heart, they seemed to hear a loud horse neighing from the fog.

"Dark creatures, obey the power of darkness." He chanted the ending spell loudly, and the black fog in the magic circle suddenly closed, and all of it was absorbed into Militi's body.

In his restored sight, two tall headless skeleton horses stood on either side of Meredith, one on the left and one on the right.The tall and powerful skeletal war horse kept digging the ground with its hooves, as if it was extremely eager to run on the earth again.

Needless to say, the two mages floated up at the same time and each mounted a skeleton horse.

"The destination has been confirmed. The speed is subject to Moback's speed. Maintain the mobile defense formation and the strategic shift begins."
