A cold wind blew past. Zhou Xiruo shivered and opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was a white world of ice and snow. She was stunned for a few seconds before realizing that she had arrived at the ice mountain.

“Why am I here?”

Zhou Xiruo muttered and wanted to tighten her clothes, but she realized that her hands were tied behind her back. Moreover, from the feeling behind her, there should be another person tied to her back.

Just as Zhou Xiruo was wondering what was going on, there was suddenly the sound of snow being stepped on. A young man in a Yaoguang battle suit walked over and squatted in front of her.

“You’re awake?”

That person smiled and asked, “Can you tell me which one of you is the

[construction lord]?”

Looking at that smiling face, Zhou Xiruo was slightly stunned. The memories before she fainted suddenly surged into her mind!

At that time, Zhou Xiruo was changing the [Energy Core] when she suddenly realized that the attacks of all the fortifications had stopped.

As the [construction lord], Zhou Xiruo knew that either the enemy had been defeated or the enemy had retreated from the defensive range. However, before she could confirm the reason, she saw a silver light rushing over from afar.

Realizing that Wang Xiao had returned, Zhou Xiruo was pleasantly surprised. She habitually switched the base’s fortifications to [Manual Mode] and then informed the others to prepare to leave the base to welcome her returning teammates.

However, just as they arrived near the entrance of the base, a young man in a Yaoguang battle suit who did not look very smart appeared from nowhere. After knocking Fang Tianyu and Han Bufan unconscious, he asked them who the construction lord was.

In order to stall for time, Yuheng and the others all said that they were construction lords. However, Zhou Xiruo was quickly knocked unconscious from behind. No one knew what happened after that.

Now that she saw this smiling young man again, Zhou Xiruo immediately thought of the enemy who did not look very smart because these two people looked almost identical!

However, the person in front of her looked smarter and more ruthless. Zhou Xiruo could still tell the difference between the two of them.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xiruo took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She looked at the other party and probed, “Who are you? Why are you looking for the [construction lord]?”

“My name is Lang Buli, from Yaoguang Academy.”

Lang Buli D0inted at the battle suit on his body and then D0inted to the side. “I’m looking for the [construction lord] because I want him to help us assemble something. ”

Zhou Xiruo looked in the direction the other party was pointing and discovered an arched metal structure not far away. There were also many metal parts scattered beside it. It was probably what the other party wanted to assemble.

“Artificial teleportation gate?”

Zhou Xiruo recognized the pile of parts at a glance, but her expression did not change. “What is this? I don’t think there’s any fortification that looks like this, right?”

Lang Buli said with interest, “Oh?” He narrowed his eyes and sized Zhou Xiruo up. “You seem to know a lot about construction fortifications… Could it be that you’re the [construction lord]?”

Zhou Xiruo’s heart tightened, but she did not show it on her face. She shook her head with a normal expression. “I’m not, but I’m good friends with the [construction lord], so I’ve seen many construction fortifications.”

“Is that so?”

Lang Buli raised his eyebrows with a faint smile. At this moment, the person tied behind Zhou Xiruo also woke up.

“Where are we?”

Hearing the voice behind her, Zhou Xiruo immediately recognized that it was her teammate who had helped her build the base previously.

From the looks of it, the other party’s capture should not have been random. Instead, he had seen the two of them building a base previously, but he was not sure which was the [construction lord], so he decided to capture them together.

After figuring this out, Zhou Xiruo immediately became nervous.

If the other party did not know anything, she could still pretend to be stupid to stall for time. However, now that the other party had already narrowed the range to two people, it was definitely either her or her teammate!

As expected.

Realizing that the other person had woken up, a white light flashed in Lang Buli’s hand, and an exquisite sharp dagger appeared.

“Don’t be afraid. This is just an ordinary white quality item.”

Lang Buli waved the dagger and stood up to cut the rope between the two of them. Then, he dragged the other person to Zhou Xiruo.

“Zhou Xiruo?”

The person was stunned for a moment before a flustered expression appeared on his face. “What’s going on? How did we get captured here? Who are you?!”

He said the last sentence to Lang Buli, but Lang Buli did not seem to have heard it. He squatted in the middle and waved the dagger in front of the two of them, still smiling.

“Next, let’s make a game. Tell me who the [construction lord] is. The person who answers correctly can live. Otherwise—”

Before he could finish speaking, Lang Buli suddenly stabbed the dagger into the boy’s thigh. Blood instantly dyed his pants red!

“Ah! My leg!”

The boy immediately screamed. He wanted to struggle, but he was tied up by the rope and could only twist on the ground in pain.

On the other side, Zhou Xiruo’s face instantly turned pale when she heard the boy’s scream. She originally wanted to mediate with the other party to stall for time, but she did not expect this person to be an unreasonable lunatic!

“Why? Does no one want to answer?”

Lang Buli smiled strangely. “It’s okay. He still has two arms and one leg. We can play slowly…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Lang Buli raised his hand and was about to stab him again. Zhou Xiruo’s expression changed and she hurriedly shouted, “I am! I am the [construction lord]!”

Lang Buli’s hand stopped in midair. “How can you prove it?”

“My name is Zhou Xiruo. I’m the [construction lord]. At the same time, I’m also Wang Xiao’s [vassal lord].”

Zhou Xiruo looked into Lang Buli’s eyes and said coldly, “Since Wang Xiao is one of your targets, don’t tell me you don’t even know this?”

Lang Buli said, “Oh?” His eyes were filled with interest. “So… you already know who we are?”

“You’re the lords of the Purple Star. You’ve come to the Blue Planet to find the holy beast!”

Helpless, Zhou Xiruo decided to bluff. She looked at Lang Buli and sneered. “Wang Xiao has already found out all your plans! The reason why he didn’t take action and still carried out the academy ranking assessment as scheduled is to capture all of you here!”

Upon hearing this, Lang Buli’s expression indeed became solemn.

Seeing that this move was useful, Zhou Xiruo hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and threatened, “Now that the army of the Blue Planet has already gathered, they’ll charge in immediately! If you let us go now and surrender, I can still plead for you and at least spare your life!”

“Really? Can you really help me plead?”

Lang Buli looked anxious, as if he was really persuaded by Zhou Xiruo’s suggestion.

However, before Zhou Xiruo could work harder, the anxiety on Lang Buli’s face suddenly disappeared.. He stabbed the boy’s leg again!
